Eye of the Storm Mary Alford

Description:

Former CIA Agent Kate Reagan finds herself in the middle of a storm that has disrupted her life for six years. When Kate’s entire team was killed by the terrorist they’d been chasing for months, Kate finds the only way to save her life is to pretend to lose it.

After moving dozens of times through the years, Kate ends up in the small mountain town of Soaring Eagle, Wyoming where everything about the place screams of the home she’s been longing for.

Running into Deputy Sheriff Brady Connors, Kate finds herself attracted to the handsome frontier lawman right away, but having a future is not possible while the enemy is still stalking her.

With Brady’s help, Kate is about face the showdown she’s been expecting for a long time when the enemy coming after her proves to be closer than Kate could ever imagine.


My thoughts on the book:

When Kate lands in Soaring Eagle Wyoming she wants this to be the last time she has to up and leave, but it seems like even though she just got her they may have already found her. When Brady stumbles across a stray dog it seems he may have stumbled upon a lot more. Can Kate trust Brady with her secrets, to protect her and can they work together before she runs again or someone else ends up dead?

It was short, simple to the point but pack with an amazing story. I have never been disappointed by this author and this book was very much the same you will not regret reading this quick read. Oh, and I have to say Callie was my favorite her personality just jumped off the pages.

William could not believe that she is back and he wanted a second chance at her. However she came back broken and he needs to convince her to trust him.

I have never read anything by Ms. Weeks so I wasn't sure what to expect with this book but it caught my attention and so what did I have to loose. I will say I was not disappointed this book was so good. I loved the sweet story and the powerful healing and seeking in the book. The author held nothing back it discussed some very tough subjects. I loved how this book was a good clean read, I also enjoyed that it seemed to flow and there was not lacking of slow points in it. Such fun characters and such closeness in a small town. This book is a quick read and well worth it. If you are looking for a fun read this book will not disappoint.

A Texas Christmas Homecoming Nancy Robards Thompson- Whiskey River Christmas Book 3

Description:

Elijah Lane left Whiskey River under a cloud of suspicion about a car theft he didn’t commit. After a stint in the army and years learning the wine industry, he’s back, ready to develop an elite boutique winery. With backing from a Hollywood A-lister, Eli intends to prove that this boy from the wrong side of town has made it big. There’s no one he wants to prove it to more than Rachel Wilson, the high school sweetheart who didn’t believe in his innocence and married someone else practically the minute he left Whiskey River.

Busy running her specialty baking company, widowed Rachel has no interest in romance—even when her first love comes back to town. Though she feels guilty that she didn’t stand behind the boy her mother persuaded her was certain to become a Barrels ne’er-do-well like the father who abandoned them, she has neither the time nor the energy to explore second chances.

Moved by the star-crossed couple’s repressed passion, which is hotter than cinnamon candy and sweeter than sugar icing, a benevolent Christmas ghost, who lives for happy endings, might just be cooking up a delicious new chance for Rachel and Eli.

My thoughts on the book:

Elijah is coming home and he is not coming home a "barrel boy" but someone people are taking notice. He just wants one person to notice and he wants answers. Rachel is busy running her company and it seems like everyone wants something and she is becoming something she doesn't want to be. But when Elijah walks back into her life she has a lot of questions but not a lot of answers. Can they get to the bottom of the questions or is it better for them both to walk away?

Who doesn't love a good cowboy story well this book was a super fun and fast read. I really enjoyed the simpleness of the story. I really enjoyed how the author made it seem like you were catching up with friends instead of reading a fiction book. I also enjoyed how independent but how simple Rachel was. The love Eli has just jumped off the pages. This book has some adult scenes so it may not be appropriate for all ages. This book is so worth the read and so fun.

Montana Home Kathy Hendrickson

Hank Anderson has survived on his small ranch with hard work and the sheer will to make it prosper, and he desires the beautiful Carrie by his side.

But can he overlook the fact that maybe Carrie is part of her father’s plan?
Will their love and family survive the cruelty of a man bent on destroying them both to get what he wants?
My thoughts on the book:
Carrie is set to do what she wants and not what her dad expects. But what she didn't know was her dad had other plans. Hank is finally happy to have the love of his life in his home and ready to make a go at it with her. But he has a secret and it seems her dad is set to destroy them and he thinks Carrie might be involved. Can the over come the heartache and the loss' to the ranch or will it all be to much for them?
I am not a fan of historical fiction most of the time once in a while I will grab a book such as this one and end up surprised at how much I enjoyed it. This book could also be considered a very modern day read with a few changes and it packs a punch full or suspense which I really didn't expect. I really loved Jeremiah and his role in this book along with Biscuit, I felt like they had such a huge role  and added a fun element to an on the edge of your seat kind of read. I also enjoyed that the author kept the book a good clean read so it would be suitable for all reads. This book was short read and really reminds you of a simple life back in the 1800s when they had a different kind of struggle then we face today. I would highly recommend this simple fun read.

Maybe This Summer Jennifer Snow Colorado Ice Series

Description:
Always a wingman . . .

Owen McConnell is used to being ignored. After all, it's only when he appears as the Colorado Avalanche's team mascot that he gets all the attention. When the costume is off, women tend to gravitate toward his famous hockey player friends. But after he meets lovely, damaged Paige Adams, he knows he can be the star player for her. She's raising funds for the hospital burn unit, and Owen's determined to help her out---and sweep her off her feet.

The burn unit has been near and dear to Paige's heart ever since the doctors helped her after a vicious attack. Yet the scars---both emotional and physical---haven't faded as much as she'd hoped. She's closed herself off from relationships, and the thought of opening up is terrifying. But Owen's sexy charm might be just the push Paige needs to start loving again.

My thoughts on the book:
He seems to always be over shadowed by his "hot" looking friends, as they are slowing going off the market Owen realizes he just might not find the "one". When he goes to a meeting and he runs into the women of his dreams he starts to wonder if Love at first sight is real.
Paige is not looking for anything from anyone unless they can help her with the kids in her burn unit. When she comes face to face with Owen he make her "feel". Something she hasn't done in ages. Can she come out of her shell and start believing in her self?
I love this series of books. I can't wait to dive into the other books. This group of friends and family just have a way of getting to the heart of the matter and making you enjoy the books. This book though short didn't feel like it was missing anything. I really enjoyed the way the author does not even try to make any of the character in the book perfect but all of them have flaws and heartache. This book does have adult scene in it, not graphic but its there, other then that it was nice to read a book were not every other word was a curse word. This was a quick read and so worth it. I think this series would be a fun summer read for anyone.

But when Tyler’s ex comes back to Marietta asking for his help, will it derail Stacey and Tyler’s chance at love, or will it make them see that they’re the perfect fit?

My thoughts on the book:
Tyler can not cook and he is the most healthiest eating person most know in Marietta, but when his staff and clients sign him up to bake he has not choose but to tackle it head on. He convinces his really sweet neighbor to help and he hopes he wont let anyone down since its for a good cause.
Stacey is shy keeps to herself and she also has reasons for it but its just best this way for everyone around. When her neighbor needs her help learning to bake she sets out to help him I mean how hard can it really be right.  She quickly realizes this might not all be that easy but she knows she can and will do it, but can she succeed and keep her heart intact?
I love Marietta Montana I love catching up with these fun characters whether you are just joining in on the fun or have read all the books, don't worry you wont be lost and you will be sucked into this wonderful small town. I loved how the author kept the characters relatable and fun. I really enjoyed the storyline it flowed perfectly and kept your attention throughout. I will say there is one adult scene in the book other wise the book was a fun read and clean for the most part. Each character is dealing with something but the author did not make a seem that they were trying to save each other but they truly were just trying to be friends. This book is truly a super fun read and you can't go wrong.

NOTHING LESS THAN FABULOUS Allie Pleiter

Description:
If Gretchen wants to keep her great job at Seattle’s largest coffeehouse chain, she’s got to come up with the best marketing idea of her life.

Can Gretchen woo Nate away from his current spot at Higher Grounds Cafe? What if landing the barista her company needs might cost her the man who’s already stolen her heart?

My thoughts on the book:

I will keep this simple, since I feel the description sums the book up perfectly. This book is small but they say "Good things come in small packages", and that is very much the case with this book. I usually am not a fan of books written in first person point of view I always feel like I am missing something, how ever the author did an amazing job of getting what needed told into the storyline and out there. I really enjoyed the "message" or the "lesson" that was taught in this book. This book will leaving you wanting to go back and read the others such a super fun read. I also liked that it was a super clean read as well.

Cinderella's Cowboy Roxanne Snopek

What's the book about:

Chad Anders doesn’t know why mousy Cynthia Henley trips all over her tongue when she’s around him. Nor does he understand his undeniable attraction to this good girl. Wild and sexy is his type, like the dream-girl he caught a glimpse of years earlier he’s never forgotten.

Cynthia’s superpower is invisibility, especially with men. It’s better for everyone that way. Besides, she’s got a cat. She’s okay. But when playboy-rancher Chad hires her, she’s got a chance to shine. Professionally, at least. Until she learns of his fascination with a mysterious dream-girl, who was actually nothing more than a shy teenager on an ill-advised dare all those years ago. Cynthia knows she’s no man’s dream-girl and never will be.

But there’s magic at the ball. Princesses glow in the starlight, princes appear out of nowhere, and, sometimes, they look a lot like cowboys…

My thoughts on the book:
Chad is back in town and ready to uncover some dreams and secrets and help a friend raise some money to help underprivileged kids, he knows one person that can make that happen Cynthia Henley. Cynthia has some secrets of  her own and is happy to keep them there and is ready to have a "business" relationship with Chad to help him get this party going, only problem is that she wants to keep is as a working relationship and her sisters have other plans.
This is such a cute and simple read, don't let the title fool you though this is not another modern day fairy tale. This book is packed with fun and with some fun and crazy characters. Its back into Marrietta Montana and you get to catch up with some fun people in other Montana Born books. You really can go wrong with this sweet and chemistry filled book.

This book is a very short read , simple but fun pact with a lot of fun characters. The storyline is well written and it has you wanting to find out whats going to happen next. The story doesn't ever get boring or slow the author did an amazing job engaging the reader and leaving you wanting more to the las page.
