The Trouble with Cowboys Victoria James

Description:
Eight years ago, Tyler Donnelly left Wishing River, Montana, after a terrible fight with his father and swore he’d never return. But when his father has a stroke, guilt and duty drive him home, and nothing is as he remembers––from the run-down ranch to Lainey Sullivan, who is all grown up now. And darn if he can’t seem to stay away.

Lainey’s late grandma left her two things: the family diner and a deep-seated mistrust of cowboys. So when Tyler quietly rides back into town looking better than hot apple pie, she knows she’s in trouble. But she owes his dad everything, and she’s determined to show Ty what it means to be part of a small town...and part of a family.

Lainey’s courage pushes Ty to want to make Wishing River into a home again—together. But one of them is harboring a secret that could change everything.

My thoughts on the book:

I really enjoyed this book, I found it completely hard to put down. The Author has a way of sucking you in from the beginning and it makes you feel like you are right there, or watching it on a scene. I love how the characters truly feel like you are catching up with friends and I love the small town feel of the book. With everything that Lainey has faced she has this strong fighting spirit and you really cheer her on through the whole book. The chemistry and the raw emotions just jumped off the pages. Tyler hints at something through out the book and its not till later you find out what which kept me guessing and wanting to know what was going to happen next with him and his Dad. Over all the book is a great read and does have some language but over all I would say totally worth the read. 

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion

What's the book about:
Regan Sloane was married once. Eight years, no kids, she got the house. In the years since the divorce, she's managed to keep afloat with the only real skill she has: Writing. She hadn't really noticed how her readership had blossomed until a well-known reviewer noticed her sweet little lifestyle blog. When had it transformed into a single woman's go-to? With the life and loves of her four BFFs to fuel the content and have her back at every turn Regan realizes that something magical happens when women join forces. Girl Power just might be the new super power!

My thoughts on the book:
This book has five main characters and usually I am not a fan of some many because you usually can not keep up with everything thats going on, however in this book that is not the case at all. The author did such an amazing job telling each story and letting the stories flow together so well. The storyline is also so well written you find you self more or less feel like you are watching a movie or a really good tv show. The story is nothing like I have read from this author. The story its self has you drawn in and seems like you are catching up with your best friend and their life not just reading a book, so life like and real. Each of the five characters goes through life and some face some really hard things, and loss, and some face new challenges in life all the while just enjoying there Thursday night book club where they take time each week to share dessert and catch up. I really had a hard time putting this book down. I didn't want it to be over because I was enjoying the book so much. I really hope you find your self enjoying it as well because you really can not go wrong with getting this book and sharing it with you best friend.

The Long Way Home Kathleen O'Brien

What's the book about:

At eighteen, Abby Foster had been the cutest little rich gal in Marietta, Montana. She could make boys do whatever she wanted—especially sweet, wild, penniless Joe Carlyle, who adored her. But a lot’s changed in the eight years since Abby broke Joe’s heart by marrying the rich guy her domineering father chose for her. Her father has died, and the “perfect” husband has bolted, taking all the money. More importantly, Abby’s grown up. She’s vowed to stop listening to other people and follow her own heart instead.

Right now, her heart tells her to return to Marietta. The wildfire she felt in Joe’s arms has haunted her, and, though she doesn’t expect forgiveness, she hopes maybe he, too, would enjoy a brief, no-strings affair. If they can share just the seventy-two hours of Homecoming weekend…well, maybe then they’ll both find it easier to forgive, forget, and move on.

But when she sees him, she realizes how naive that idea was. The years have changed Joe, too…and the passionate, powerful man he’s become isn’t someone she’ll ever forget. This time the heart she breaks may be her own.

My thoughts on the book:
I really loved this short story. I love how the emotion through out the whole book and there was a lot of "tension" between the two main characters but a good kind one that keeps the book going. This book took me like an hour to read not because it that short but because it was just that good. If you are looking for a sweet love story to ready this is the one for you.

Where the Road Takes Me Jay McLean

What's the book about:
Chloe has one plan for the future, and one plan only: the road. She’s made a promise to herself: don’t let anyone in, and don’t let anyone love her. She’s learned the hard way what happens if she breaks her rules. So she’s focused on being invisible and waiting until she can set out on the road—her dream of freedom, at least for a little while.

Blake Hunter is a basketball star who has it all—everything about him looks perfect to those on the other side of his protective walls. He can’t let anyone see the shattered pieces behind the flawless facade or else all his hopes and dreams will disappear.

One dark night throws Chloe and Blake together, changing everything for Blake. For Chloe, nothing changes: she has the road, and she’s focused on it. But when the so-called perfect boy starts to notice the invisible girl, they discover that sometimes with love, no one knows where the road may lead

My thoughts on the book:

I have to say when I first started this book out I was kind of turned off by all the strong language, The story and the book its self is amazing and I think that it was well written and could have been that much better without the language. Now that being said I really, really liked this book, it was not what I expected at all. Two young adults faced with life in a harsh way and how they set to deal with it is amazing. I loved the small side story of Josh and Tommy they had just as much to do with this story and making it. This book deals with a lot of hard things and a lot of love, but overall the story will not disappoint. Once I started reading it I had a hard time stopping, the book was just that good. Hard to put down for sure.

What's the book about:

In this sequel to Second Chances, the small town of Mason has encountered its first murder, and the town’s prime suspect is a scared teen named Jamal Davis. Attorney Wade Anders steps up to defend Jamal with the help of his assistant, Trey Ross. They are now at odds with family and friends but will not be deterred from proving Jamal’s innocence. Trey is also forced to confront two newly discovered siblings who were never recognized as Ross’ heirs and resent their rich half-brother.

A rogue judge disposes of the murder case by denying a trial, and Wade and Trey are baffled and desperate to free their client. At the same time, a federal drug investigation links Trey’s half-brother to a ruthless drug dealer, and Trey and his sister discover that their brother’s illegal activity includes more than selling drugs when they find evidence linked to the murder case. His sister insists that their brother is acting under duress, and Trey’s loyalties are divided between his family and his client.

My thoughts on the book:
Ok so I have to say hands down one of my favorite Novellas. I read the first book and it was really good. This book and the first one are not long in length but do not lack in an amazing storyline. This book keeps you on the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end. The end is really not what I expected, its so much better. I can honestly say that if you are looking for a short read with a lot of action with a little bit of romance that you will not want to put down this is your book.
