Starlight Bridge Debbie Mason Harmony Harbor Series book #2

Description:

A second chance for romance...

Hidden in Graystone Manor is a book containing all the dark secrets of Harmony Harbor, and Ava DiRossi is determined to find it. No one-especially not her ex-husband, Griffin Gallagher-can ever discover what really tore her life apart all those years ago. With Griffin back in town, it's more important than ever that she find the book before someone else does. Because her ex is still angry with her for leaving him. And he still has no idea Ava never stopped loving him...

Ava is no longer the vibrant, happy woman Griffin had once loved and married, and he would do anything to bring back the sparkle to her brilliant green eyes. But what's never changed are the sexy sparks of attraction between Ava and Griffin, and he won't give her up again without a fight. He knows there's the real possibility of a future together... if the truth doesn't burn the bridge between them forever.

My thoughts on the book:

Griffin is called back home to help fix up the inn he wants nothing to do with he sees there is a lot more to just fixing up the inn and he still believes they all would be better off fixing it up. He also keeps running into his ex-wife and memories he would rather leave in the past and move on with his life. When he discovers a secret he is not happy and he doesn't know it he should fix it to let it go. 
Ava has a huge secret from her past she would rather leave there but she also has some secrets in her life today she would rather keep private to and it seems that the secrets are all becoming to much to handle. When she is faced dealing with her ex husband, his ex wife and trying to help save the inn people start to wonder more about the secrets she hiding. Will she be able to continue to protect everyone and her heart?
What a fun book. I remember reading the first book and this book was just a fun. Some of the characters are off the charts but they add perfect to the story. If your like me You have a love hate relationship with Lexi and Jasper. I love the huge part they played in this book but I also loved Colleen and a few other characters. There is some language but its very mild other wise this book is a super fun read. I had a hard time putting this book down it truly sucks you in and before you know it your half way through, it has some twist and turns and its over all fun.

Description:
Kate MacIntire is determined to live life on her own terms. No muss, no fuss. But when motorcycle riding, free spirit Jack Harden enters the picture, she has no choice but to reconsider.
Moving from Boston to the charming town of Silver Bay, California was supposed to be Kate's fresh start from a painful past relationship, and she's happy with the life she’s building for herself. Order and structure, just the way her somewhat-control-freak self likes it. Until Jack.
Never one to turn down an adventure or a challenge, Jack wants nothing more than to see Kate let loose and embrace the carefree woman she used to be.
But when her past catches up with them, can loving Kate be enough for Jack to break through the walls she’s built to protect herself?

The Silver Bay series
Book 1: Return to Silver Bay
Book 2: Loving Kate
Book 3: Saving Drew

My thoughts on the book:

Kate is dealing with thing in her past that feels like it keeps pulling her in and pulling her down. When things go a miss she is left trying to pick up the peaces and wondering why everyone want to help her. Can she find it in her heart to trust again? Jack is back home and is loving living back in the small town of Silver bay, and when his sisters in laws, sister grabs his attention he sets out to show that she's amazing, beautiful and he needs her in her life. Will he be able to convince her or will her past continue to haunt her and destroy his chances? 
So I grew up in a small town in southern California and the charming town of Silver Bay remind me so much of the small area I grew up in. I love how in this town when things go wrong everyone comes together and helps each other out. I love how in this story nothing was off limits with what was going on in Kate's past and I love how the author made each one of the characters feel like you could be friends with them and you could relate to them. I loved how in each book so far the author introduces a new character that you just want to know more about their story, I can't wait for more. In each book the author does end the story summing up everything how ever I was left wanting to much more the storyline was just that great. I loved how the author kept the story mostly clean and fun. This book is really amazing and if you are looking for a book thats a real pager turn that sucks you in and has you literally leaves you wanting more then grab this book and have fun.

Home At Last Deborah Raney- A Chicory Inn Series book #5

Description:
Link Whitman has settled into the role of bachelor without ever intending to. Now he’s stuck in a dead-end job and, as the next Whitman wedding fast approaches, he is the last one standing. The pressure from his sisters’ efforts to play matchmaker is getting hard to bear as Link
pulls extra shifts at work, and helps his parents at the Chicory Inn.

All her life, Shayla Michaels has felt as if she straddled two worlds. Her mother's white family labeled her African American father with names Shayla didn't repeat in polite––well, in any company. Her father’s family disapproved as well, though they eventually embraced Shayla as
their own. After the death of her mother, and her brother Jerry’s incarceration, life has left Shayla's father bitter, her niece, Portia, an orphan, and Shayla responsible for them all. She knows God loves them all, but why couldn't people accept each other for what was on the inside? For their hearts?

Everything changes one icy morning when a child runs into the street and Link nearly hits her with his pickup. Soon he is falling in love with the little girl’s aunt, Shayla, the beautiful woman who runs Coffee’s On, the bakery in Langhorne. Can Shayla and Link overcome society’s view
of their differences and find true love? Is there hope of changing the sometimes-ugly world around them into something better for them all?


My thoughts on the book:
Link feels like a fish out of water with yet another Whitman wedding in the works. When he is working with the homeless shelter he meets the girl who feels like she could be the one but she doesn't check everything off his "list", however in a twist of fate it seems to have gotten off on the wrong foot now he needs to convince her they are meant to be together for ever. Will someone try and stop them and will it work? Shayla has a lot on her plate, taking care of her dad, her niece and the bakery but when Link drops into her life she knows this can't be a good choice. She needs to focus on her niece and the bakery however it seems everyone else has plans for her and it seems that someone has it out for her. Can she protect her niece and her heart or will this all end in disaster?
This storyline was pretty good I enjoyed the added suspense to the book, even though it wasn't a lot it kept your interest through out just wanting to know what happens. The story has some really tough subjects that are brought up through out, I kind of felt it was a little to much at some points. This book is a good clean read which was super nice and made the book enjoyable. This book is part of a series however I did not feel like I missed anything by not reading the other books before, however it hints at some things from pervious books that make me want to go and follow up with the story.

He Has Her Heart by Cynthia Marcano Spring Love Series book #3

Description:

Dream Collins has always lived in a world all her own, never afraid to grab it by the horns. In fact, life's been smooth sailing for most of her charmed life. Her only unconquered feat is winning over her future husband, and best friend's brother, Max Davidson, the stubborn man she has pined for since high school.

When life throws her a myriad of life-changing curveballs, can she depend on the God she has loved all her life to sort out the mess and deliver her promised future of love and happiness?

With his newfound wealth, Max Davidson is ready to leave bachelorhood behind, settle down with a woman he can be proud of, and begin a family. If his father's early death is any indicator, life is too short to waste, and he has not a minute to lose.

Now if he could only re-train his uncooperative heart to release the hold it has on the eccentric Dream Collins, the most unsuitable wife he could imagine, he could focus on building a life and legacy that his father would be proud of. Will God bless his well thought out future?

My thoughts on the book:

Dream is as stubborn and set in her ways and has no problem telling people how it really is. She knows what she wants or more or less who she wants she just need to convince him that they are a match made in heaven. Max is home in New Jersey and is glad to be back among his friends and family. He has a constant pain in his side by the name of Dream. He has convinced himself that if he loathes her enough and keeps her at arms lengths then he can put his past feelings for her in the past and they can move on. When life seems to be handing Dream a series of lemons she needs to decide to either to make lemonade or throw them back at people but in the end can she survive?
This book at first started off a little all over the place in the beginning, however that quickly changed. The storyline grabs your attention and you start want to turn the pages just to see what is going to happen next. The story had a funny turn to it with Dream being kind of out there and all over the place, but she has this personality that shined on the pages where you really liked her and connected with her. Max was someone who wanted to love to hate. This story is a good clean romance will guarantee laughs and a completely enjoyable read.

 I was so excited to get my hands on this book, I have fallen in love with Sanctuary Island and the fun characters there. This story was no different I loved this fun group of characters and I can not wait to read Marcus' story next. I loved how in this story from beginning to the end the storyline grabs your attention and keeps you all the way through. I love how the author throws in a twist just when you think you have it all figured out or you think whats going to happen next. I also really enjoyed the small element of suspense in the book it just seem to tie everything together. I also really enjoyed how she kept the characters relatable. The book does have some adult scenarios and may not be enjoyable for all readers. I will say this if you have or have not been following this series grab this book its so worth the read and you wont regret it.

Beauty and the Wiener Casey Griffin A Rescue Dog Romance #2

Description:

A TAIL AS OLD AS TIME...

Addison Turner has scripted a perfect future for herself, complete with a fairytale ending. She will become the name in doggie fashion design and live happily ever after with the husband of her dreams--and her dachshund, Princess, by her side. Just when her plan is on track and she's gaining recognition at the local dog show, Addison is hit with some Oscar-worthy drama. A group of prize-winning show dogs are stolen from under her nose, and she's stuck asking for help from Felix Vaughn, an infuriatingly hot bartender who is the exact opposite of Prince Charming. 

When more dogs go missing--and Felix becomes a suspect--the two team up to clear their names. Although Felix and Addison fight like cats and dogs, there's an undeniable spark between them. And as the trail to the missing dogs heats up, so does their red-hot chemistry. Can Addison be persuaded to throw away her script to find an ending that just might be better than she ever expected? 

"A lively romantic mystery...Paws down, one of the funniest books I've read in a long time." — bestselling author Diane Kelly on Must Love Wieners

Don't miss the hilarious Beauty and the Wiener, a Rescue Dog Romance book by Casey Griffin!

My thoughts on the book:
Addison is trying to make a name for her own so she offers her services to the upcoming dog show. The know all who wants to be all is going to be there so she knows this could be good for her business and her dog line. When things go a miss she now knows she need to prove herself and a business is worth of the dogs, but can she do it in time?Felix is just trying to make a living and make ends meet. He is looking out for "number one" and will stop at nothing to do it. When he is thrown into a hot mess with the dogs and he will stop at nothing to prove he is innocent, but will it all be to late?
I really enjoyed this book what a fun read. This book is full of fun characters and has a ton of innuendoes for sure. I really wish the book would have been from both points of view from Felix and from Addison, however that being said having if from only on person point of view you are not missing much. I loved the storyline and how easy it was to follow and keep up and I also enjoyed the banter back and forth with the two main characters. I loved how there was element of suspense added to the book but it really did not come off as a suspense book. This book does has adult content and may not be for everyone. This book is worth the read and if you love sassy dogs and some crazy owners grab this book you won't regret it.
