My thoughts on the book:

Second Impressions by award-winning author Pepper Basham
What a fun love story. I know this is a novella so it's supposed to be short however it left me wanting so much more at the end of this story I felt like there was or is more to come of the story. The story is a good clean romance with twist and turns through out and even ones you don't expect.

Mowed Over by USA Today bestselling author Christina Coryell
I have never read anything else by Christina but if all her books are like this I am ready to read them. This book had me laughing almost the whole time. The storyline was so fun and well put together I really loved how the author left you wanting more but tied the story up perfectly. I loved the free spirit of Willow and I loved how a big old military guy like Clint had a sweet side to him that you found falling in love with. Seriously this book is so worth the read

An Informal Affair by award-winning author Heather Gray

This love story was a fun read. Each one of the characters jobs through twist and turns in the story and added a little mystery to the story. While I did fine that the story was some what predictable I loved Watt's and would love to read her story. I also loved the fun friendship between Watt, Lia, Maverick and Watt's team mates it made you want to join in on the fun. 

A Heart Restored by Elizabeth Maddrey

This story wasn't all the way there for me. Without giving anything away, the way the story end had me "Like really thats it" um ok. It just seem to have ended abrupt and also seemed like there should have been a little more. The storyline was about following your dreams and allowing forgiveness in yourself and with God.

Unleashing Love by Jessica R. Patch

I flew through this book it was a total page turner. It was summed up perfectly and was a super fun read. I dealt with what love is really about, finding your dreams and forgiveness and cute dogs. I loved how the author let everyones personality shine through the pages weather they had a big part in the story or not. I felt like I was catching up with friends not reading a book.

A (nearly) Normal Nanny by Krista Phillips

What happens when you take a Nanny, twins and a musician? Well this book happens and you are going to have some guaranteed laughs and so much fun. 

That's When I Knew by award-winning author Laurie Tomlinson

So far in this series this is the only book that doesn't have a child involve in the storyline. However its still a super fun read, with some twist and turns thrown in for good measure. The author did an amazing job at having the book seem longer then it really was but keeping the story flowing so that you are turning the pages to see whats going to happen next. SUPER Fun read for sure. 

A Time to Laugh by USA Today bestselling author Marion Ueckermann

This story seems to sum up the whole series of books. Gods love is there and no matter what and he does have a sense of humor. This book really packed a punch and has a way of getting you sucked in from the beginning to the end. Such a wonderful story and such a neat way to sum up love for each other and God's Love.

Over all this set of book was super fun to read. The books will have you laughing and reminding you of what Gods love is all about and forgiveness. These books are good clean reads and super fun.

Crossing the Friend Zone Kelly Eadon- Belmont Beach brides book #3

Description:

SHE PLANNED FOR EVERYTHING-EXCEPT HIM.

Fresh off a painful break-up, wedding planner Ainsley Slone is suffering from an acute case of "always the planner, never the bride." And she's over it. It's time for a break-to figure out how to let everything go and just have a little sexy fun. And she knows the perfect person to teach her how: irresistible manwhore Ryan Lawhill.  

Their deal? No sex, just fun. It's the perfect plan--until the chemistry between them starts sparking like crazy. Ryan knows all too well that Ainsley's looking for a happily-ever-after, but he's always been keep-it-fun-or-it's-done. Yet the moment they cross The Friend Zone, all bets are off-and soon the ultimate player is the one playing for keeps.

My thoughts on the book:

Ainsley is dealing with a broken heart and now she needs to face her friends and family at her best friends engagement party and she's glad to face it with her good friends. When Ryan challenges her she takes in on in hopes to also change him a little too and they both set the same rules not falling in love and no sex, just plain fun. Ryan is not a family or relationship kind of guys he likes to have fun and no connections at all to any women. He is set to show Ainsley how to have fun, relax and live in the moment. Will they both be able to walk away with their hearts in tack? 
What fun book the emotions are all over the place through out. The friendship between the female  characters seem more like siblings they just were there for each other no matter what. I did not read all the books in the series but I loved the two I read and want to go back and read the other. I really enjoyed the way that the author had both characters in the book struggle and it was not about who was the hero but how each came together. This book has strong language through out and does have some adult scenes so it may not be for everyone. Overall I did find it hard to put down I want to find what twist the author was going to through out next.

One Wild Night Melissa Cutler- A One and Only Texas Series book #3

Description:

Get ready for the ride of your life...

A cowgirl at heart, Skye Martinez has a rebellious streak she's determined to shake. Especially since she's poised to take the reins of her family's business at Briscoe Ranch Resort. It's time for her to settle down and get serious about her future...right after one last night of fun with a handsome stranger she meets in the resort's stable. But when a midnight horseback ride turns into a red-hot weekend with one of country music's biggest stars, Skye's world is rocked beyond her wildest dreams...

Gentry Wells rode his bad boy image all the way to the top of the country music charts. But churning out hits has dried up his creativity, and he can't remember the last time his life was his own. Skye is a sexy distraction he can't resist, especially since she breathes new life into his music. They bring out the wild side in each other, which is great for Gentry's career--but a major threat to Skye's. Too bad he's fallen in love with her. With their hearts and futures on the line, can Gentry convince Skye to turn their joyride into a real chance to ride off into the sunset together? 

ONE AND ONLY TEXAS SERIES Order:

The Mistletoe Effect (Holiday Novella Prequel)

Book One: One Hot Summer

Book Two: One More Taste

If Santa Were A Cowboy (Holiday Novella)

Book Three: One Wild Night (coming March 2017)

My thoughts on the book:
Skye is a wild child at heart and would love nothing more then to find the "right guy." But it seems that what she thinks she wants and what she may really want are so far off that when she gets a chance at one wild night she begins to question everything. She also wonders is the spell her mom put on her is more of a curse then something to help her in her search for love. Gentry is happy with his life the way things are, all expect the fact he can't for the life of him write a song and he has a month to write a whole cd. When he meets Skye at a wedding he spends 5 minutes with her and he knows he needs to get to know "more" of her. Will they both be able to figure out what they want or will it be to late for one or both of them?
I will first start off by saying I have not read any of the other books in the series and it was still fun to catch up with all the characters. I really enjoyed Mama Lita and Grandma June in the story, they seemed to add a huge element to the book and their antics will keep you laughing through out the whole book. I felt like at the beginning of the book it started off all over the place and kind of thrown off at first, then the storyline quickly grabs your attention and sucks you in. There where a ton of heartfelt moments through out the book, as well as some super steamy, simmering hot moments as well. This book has a ton of strong language and strong adult scenes through out so this book may not be for everyone. I can't wait to read more for this series of books such a fun read and had a hard time putting it down, so worth the read.

Home at Last Lily Everett- Sanctuary Island series Book #6

Description:

Home is where the heart is…

In Lily Everett's Home at Last, Marcus Beckett left Sanctuary Island after his mother’s funeral, and he hasn’t been back since. Until now. Needing a change from the high-risk, high-stakes life of a bodyguard, Marcus makes a solitary life for himself running the neighborhood bar in his hometown. His only mistake? Seducing and then dumping the town’s sweetheart, Quinn Harper. Marcus knows he did the right thing―a good girl like Quinn has no business with a broken man like him. But now no one will come to his bar, and he’s watching his last chance at a peaceful life go up in smoke. So when Quinn proposes a fake four-week courtship, he can’t refuse…even though he knows it’s a bad idea. 

It’s a romantic charade that will buy Quinn time to distract her mother and father from their own marital problems―and will help Marcus welcome back some paying customers besides. But what begins as an engagement of convenience slowly transforms into a deeper connection, one that heals both of their hearts. . .and ignites the simmering passion between them. Could it be that pretending to be together is just what Quinn and Marcus needed to give their real love a second chance?

My thoughts on the book:

Quinn is not happy with Marcus but she has loved him her whole life and she wished she can convince him that she worth the risk. When things seem array in her parents life she comes up with a plan and she hopes its a fool proof plan, nothing can go wrong right?
Marcus wants Quinn but with the age difference and with his own secrets he would like to keep close to his chest. He thinks she deserves better but when she comes up with a plan to help her parents he wants help her. But will he be able to keep everyones heart in tact and walk away with his pride?

I love the fun characters of Sanctuary Island the one thing the author is consistent about in all the books is she sucks you in and make you want to get on the next plane and visit just to walk down the streets and meet these fun people and that is the same throughout this book. This book is fun it has you laughing and crying and guessing through out the whole book. The story truly is well written and it wont disappoint. The story has some strong language and some adult scenes in it so it may not be for all readers. Over all if you have been following this series or not grab this book its so worth the read.

Hometown Cowboy Sara Richardson, Rocky Mountain Riders #1

Description:

NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH A COWBOY

Jessa Mae Love is done with relationships. No matter how tempting he might be, she cannot--will not--fall for a man like Lance Cortez. The outrageously handsome cowboy is practically a living legend in Colorado, as famous for riding bulls as he is for breaking hearts. What would a big-time rodeo star like him see in a small-town veterinarian who wears glasses, rescues animals, and cries when watching rom-coms? Turns out, plenty.

Raising bulls, riding the circuit, and looking after his ailing father--Lance never stands still for long. Yet Jessa catches his attention, and the more she tries to resist him, the more he wants her. When she agrees to move to the ranch to keep an eye on Lance's dad, Jessa tells him they have to keep it professional: no flirting, no sweet talk, and definitely no kissing. But with Jessa now living under his roof, that's easier said than done . . .

My thoughts on the book:

Jessa is looking or rather not looking for love. She really needs to focus on her self and getting her dads legacy off the ground and continue to help those in need. When she is asked to help with her dads best friend she sees he may need more help then she might be able to give. Lance has his heart and his mind set on going to worlds. Things he doesn't have time for drama from his brothers, women and anything else that takes away from worlds. When things seem to working against him and his dad goes missing he needs to figure out whats important. 
What a fun book with fun characters. Right off the back you can see the quirkiness of the characters. The story is fun there are a few twist and turns in along the way. I tended to have a love hate relationship with Lance, he seemed selfish and annoying and then he seemed to show some compassion. I really liked Jessa and her clan of friends they are the type of friends you just love to have no matter what. This book is geared to adults it has strong language through out. I felt that in some place the language was not always need but just a way to fill in. The book over all was a fun read but I did struggle with it keep my attention the whole time. I will say this I am anxious to find out what happens next with the brothers and with Luis.
