Where there's a Will Katherine Garbera, Eve Gaddy

What's the book about:

Where There’s A Will…

One scorching, unforgettable kiss under the mistletoe is all that either have allowed.

My thoughts on the book:

Ryder is about to see his crazy family but as the family attorney one behalf of his dead uncle he had some explosive news to share with them and he did not want to be the one to share this news. To top it all off a storm is moving in. Addison is work really hard to make something of herself she is working really hard to prove something as well. She has been working really hard avoiding her boss, her really hot boss. When a storm moves and she is forced to face one of her greatest fears. 
This book is short and sweet to the point, however is has a lot of chemistry coming off the pages. The book can easily be read in under an hour. The storyline was ok seemed to jump around a lot though.

This Thing Called Love Miranda Liasson Mirror lake #1

What's the book about:

New York City self-help editor Olivia Marks faces her toughest assignment yet: parenthood. When her sister dies in a car accident, the career-oriented Olivia suddenly becomes the guardian to her four-week-old niece, Annabelle. She also becomes a challenge for Annabelle’s uncle, Brad Rushford, an old flame whose gorgeous green eyes bring Olivia’s fevered memories rushing back.
As the two circle each other in their small hometown of Mirror Lake, Olivia finds that Brad is as sexy and charming as ever—and now he’s the darling of the town as he expands his successful lakefront restaurant. Is his flirting designed to get serious, or to lower Olivia’s defenses to give up guardianship? When she finds out about the turreted, brick Victorian house Brad tours with a realtor and an attractive, no-strings-attached reporter—the same place where he and Olivia shared an unforgettable night years ago—Olivia wonders if he’s looking for a future with her, or planning to start a new life with someone else?
In the first heartwarming Mirror Lake story, steamy trysts and surprising twists lead two people to a future neither one expected.

My thoughts on the book:

Oliva is forced to become a "mom" and she is dealing with the loss of her sister, and dealing with coming home to where she has lost and is broken. She has a high powered job and is ready to just let this pass so that she can get back home to work and take care of her beautiful niece, what she didn't count on was a run in with her ex, well she knew she would have to once in a while since he's Annabelle's uncle. Brad has worked his whole life to provide for his siblings and do right by them. He lost his brother and now has his niece to think about and he knows one thing he thinks he has her life better figured out then his deceased brother and sister in law. He has been broken and has dealt with a lot and he feels like family needs to stay together and no one will get in his way.
 I really liked this book it was fun and has a lot of fun characters. I had a love, hate relationship with Brad some point in the book you are really rooting for him and then you find yourself hating him. The author did a really good job with the storyline and the overall chemistry of all the characters not just the main ones. I can't wait to read Meg and Ben's story if its anything like this one it will be amazing.

After the War Jessica Scott (Homefront series #2)

What's the book about:

A terrible loss…

She never counted on running straight into a memory she’d tried to forget. A love he never forgot...

A dark secret…
As Sarah gets closer to the truth, Sean must accept that actions he took during the war may end the tentative love building between them. And even if Sarah can forgive him, Sean may never be able to forgive himself.

My thoughts on the book:

Sarah has has a lot of loss in her life and she is ready to start over again and give her daughter the life they both deserve, the only problem is she has a mouth that gets her in trouble and she runs into a person from her past she is just not ready to face ever again. Sean has his own demons he has to deal with when two guys in his unit seem to be facing there own demons and he keeps getting thrown into the middle since he's there boss and he is so over it. The only problem he is facing is having to work with Sarah the one person he was never wanting to see again, accept he has a secret of his own he needs to make sure he faces before he can be honest with himself and Sarah. This book is really good it had me on the edge of my seat the whole time and I found myself turning each page wanting so much more the ending was amazing and the book is really worth the read. If asked to use words to describe this book it would be intense, amazing, lots of romance and a little bit of erotic but over all AMAZING. This book and the first one Homefront are both books you will not want to pass on.

Driven to Date Susan Hatler

What's the book about:

Career-driven attorney, Jill Parnell, has worked long and hard to become a partner at Corbett, Gray, & Shaw. When the coveted position is given to the boss’s nephew, she does what any intelligent employee would do—attends a colleague’s wedding and schmoozes a high-powered partner at another law firm. 

Her potential new boss has only one condition for her, that she demonstrate a personal life that will support a thriving career. Pretending to have a boyfriend is outside Jill’s comfort zone, but she invites the best man to act the part and Ryan is all-too eager to play her significant other. Sparks fly between them, but she reminds herself she’s only driven to date to get back on the partner track. 

When Jill discovers Ryan is the lawyer who stole her promotion, her charade threatens to implode. But breaking off their pretend relationship could cost her the job of her dreams. And the more she gets to know Ryan, the more she’s tempted to tame the bad boy, and make him her own.

My thoughts on the book:

Jill had one thing in mind a partnership in a law firm before she's 33. Well all those dreams were crushed the the firm she is working for gives the job she was promised to someone else. She is set to get even but also get a job with another firm. Ryan is know as a playboy but he has one thing on his mind and its the last thing he ever thought would be. The book is a fun read it has a lot of fun and no sex in this book but a lot of chemistry that really pops off the pages and its really fun the back and forth of characters. The book is short and I was able to read it in one setting. you really can't go wrong with this book.

His Blushing Bride Dani Collins M

What's the book about:

Wedding fever has hit the little town of Marietta…

Piper Tierney is busy wrapping up the school year and planning the music for Marietta’s Wedding Of The Century. She does not need one of her parents’ backpacking hippies under foot. Except the guy they let stay in their house is so much more than the California couch-surfer he resembles.

He’s definitely not looking for a bride for himself. Marriage and family are a trap. But Piper is cute, funny, and wants to move on from her ex.

They agree to a no strings affair, but will they wind up tying the knot?

My thoughts on the book:

Piper grew up in Marietta she can easily blend right in and she finds that she likes music and it the one place she can hide that no one seems to noticed her. She recently has been faced with some challenges but its nothing she can't handle. Well except maybe this one, he parents are in another country and email to tell her someone will be staying in there house while there gone this is not the first person her parents brought home just the first one with out them her. 
Sebastian Bloom lands in Marietta and the last thing he expects is to find a women who is immune to him. He is there for his sisters wedding and he wants no women no commitment and Piper is no exception. She's a girl looking for long term and he doesn't believe in long term. When the two of them clash and repeatedly he takes it as a challenge little does he expect what turns out. 
This was a fun book short sweet but very sassy and saucy. This book has you drawn in and you find yourself  really enjoying the storyline right away. There was never a dull moment  very fun and you will not want to miss out on the fun people of Marietta.

Hot Alphas Lora Leigh, Laurelin McGee, Shiloh Walker, Kate Douglas

What's the book about:

Four sexy short stories featuring four hot alpha heroes, headlined by #1 New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh. 

In Erin's Kiss by Lora Leigh, ex-Marine Turk has become Erin's sworn protector. The target of her CIA-operative brother's foes, Turk is the only port Erin has to cling to in a storm. He promised her brother long ago never to touch her--but how can he resist a woman who aches to be with him as much as he burns for her? 

In misTaken by Laurelin McGee, Jaylene is an independent woman whose feminist values run deep. The last thing she wants is a man telling her what to do. Until she meets her mysterious new neighbor. He makes her realize that you can still be strong and relinquish control... in the bedroom. But as their passion consumes them, Jaylene isn't sure he is who he says he is. 

In Burn for Me by Shiloh Walker, Tate longs to spend his nights with Ali, a woman he's loved for years. But while Ali's heart aches for him, her head has reservations. Ali knows that Tate has unresolved anger that is a force to be reckoned with...but the heat that blazes between them is undeniable. Now both Tate and Ali are left to wonder: Can love really conquer all? 

In Tangled by Kate Douglas, Nate shows up to work at Tangled Vineyards ready to do what he loves best--craft award-winning wines. But when something better comes in the form of Cassie, the winemaker and former owner, Nate is completely love-drunk. Getting involved with Tangled's mixologist is a bad way to start off a new job, but with Cassie as a temptation, Nate doesn't stand a chance.

My thoughts on the book:
Erin's Kiss by Lora Leigh: Erin is the step daughter to one of the most powerful guys in the security world and she is set to help in the family business and won't take no for an answer and won't take anything from anyone, as a bar tender she has no use for BS. Turk he's in the secret world that protects a bunch of high power people but moon lights in the bar in the mean time and he has no problem putting the people in there place. 
This book was HOT and STEAMY but also kick butt. The storyline was well written and the chemistry was just dripping off the page. 
misTaken by Laurelin McGee: Jaylene is working her dream job as a teacher, when one of her neighbors set her up on a date from hell. She comes home and runs into her HOT new neighbor and knows she needs to know more about this man. Noah moves into a nice neighborhood and sees a really hot girl he would like to have plans with in the bedroom for sure, the problem is he has a secret and he has no intention of telling anyone or ever getting close to anyone and that includes Jay, or does it. Will this secret he's keeping make or break them? This book is hot and steamy not a huge storyline as its a novella but what story there was is good and lots of chemistry and is HOT and STEAMY written all over it.
Burn for Me by Shiloh Walker: Tate has always just wanted a no non since relationship and he knows he has that with Ali, or does he? Ali has two things she wants in life the best life she can offer to his boys and love, the love part has always been tough but she thinks she has it, she only wishes that it wasn't one sided. 
This book was a fun book like the other two the only problem is the end, I was not a fan of the way it ended. There are some twist and turns in this fun book with a little bit of steam right from the start.
Tangled by Kate Douglas:  Mac has found his dream job the last thing he thought he would ever find was his dream girl has he finally found her in Cassie? Cassie, is at a point in her life that she's just not happy about she is really emotionally struggling and is having to face some things she doesn't want to, the last thing she expected was Mac and she knows she needs to stay clear of him he has trouble written all over him. This was a fun read and I think one of my favorite out of the four books. This books keep you on the edge of your seat and keeps you all drawn in.

The Wedding Cake Tree Melanie Hudson interview

HI welcome to my blog I am so excited to welcome Melanie Hudson, I was able to do a fun interview and wanted to share it with you and a little bit about the Book The wedding Cake tree so here we go:

1. Where are you currently living and tell us a little bit about yourself?

I’m a free-spirited wanderer who floats above the planet passing peace and light and love around the world … actually, that’s who I would like to be! In reality I’m an ex-forces mother of one who writes books, gardens and enjoys time with friends. I play the piano badly and sing too loudly. I would have liked to have been an opera singer.

2. When did you begin writing?

I began writing when I left forces life in 2010 and moved to Dubai (I don’t live in Dubai anymore).

3. What inspired you to write this book?

The inspiration for the book came from the fact that I knew my son would never comprehend the military woman I used to be – I wouldn’t necessarily want him to.

4. I noticed this is your first book is there something about this book that you enjoyed writing?

Yes, this is my first book. I particularly enjoyed writing Rosamund’s letters and I also loved building up the relationship between Alasdair and Grace.

5. If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?

Jane Austen – who else?

6. I love to know what other people are reading I am just wondering what book are you reading now?

I’m reading ‘I Met a Monk’ by Rose Elliot as research for my next book – it’s fantastic but it’s not fiction.

7. I really loved the story with Alasdair and Grace and I love how you drew the reader in, do you have another book in the work?

Yes, my next book is based in North Devon at Woody Bay and is so special to me I don’t want to talk about it too much (I still want to keep it close to my heart) – sorry.

8. Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?

Yes – discipline. Despite having worked in a military environment for sixteen years I find it difficult to discipline myself to writing every day.

9. Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?

To my readers I simply want to say a genuine and heart-felt thank you and I hope I can provide pleasure and happy reading through my work.

Blurb

Can a mother’s secret past provide the answers for a daughter’s future?

Celebrity photographer Grace Buchanan has always known that one day, she’d swap her manic day job for the peace and quiet of her beloved childhood cottage, St Christopher’s – she just didn’t expect it to be so soon.

At the reading of her mother’s will, she’s shocked to learn that she hardly knew Rosamund at all, and that inheriting St Christopher’s hangs on one big – and very inconvenient – condition: Grace must drop everything for two weeks and travel the country with a mysterious stranger – war-weary Royal Marine, Alasdair Finn.

Caught in a brief but perfect moment in time, Grace and Alasdair walk in Rosamund’s footsteps and read her letters at each breathtaking new place. As Grace slowly uncovers the truth about her mother’s incredible life story, Alasdair and Grace can’t help but question their own futures. Will Rosamund’s madcap scheme go to plan or will events take an unexpected turn?

An emotional, fun-filled and adventurous journey of a lifetime.
