…but can he fill those boots?

Former rodeo queen Emily Clark loves her life in Second Chance, Idaho, but she’s through waiting for a cowboy to sweep her off her feet. Just as she’s thinking of leaving town, she’s offered a job by newcomer Jonah Monroe, a city slicker from Hollywood.

My thoughts on the book:

Both main characters are Hard headed and stubborn. I feel like because of this it really made the book. The banter and the back and forth just added to it even more. I like the kids in the story I always feel when you can let kids shine in a book it really helps capture the attention of the reader. What I also like was Moody Mike’s story was finally told and I like how the Monroe’s are back. I so hope Bo’s story is coming soon I feel like there is so much more then the little glimpses we got this book of him. I like how the author kept a the story a good clean read. This book over all was a quick and fun read and if you have been following along with this family or you’re just getting started I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Betting on Love Jennifer Hoopes-The Ellis Family Saga Book 2

Description:


Whitney Carroll is back home in Gatlinburg, Tennessee after divorcing her low-down, cheating husband. First thing on the to-do list: Get a job. Second thing: Just say no to men. Third thing: Don’t fall for the boss. One out of three’s not too bad, right?

For Sam Ellis, his to-do list is always work, work, work, trying to keep his family’s legacy alive. Now, out of concern, his siblings bet he can’t keep a girl happy for thirty days, and if he loses he’s out as CEO. No problem, he can fake a relationship. And he knows just who to ask...his new man-vegan assistant.

Yet Whitney’s sexy boss—secret singer and Skee-Ball champion—is definitely NOT boring, and their connection is undeniable. But when a disaster strikes at work, Sam will have to decide if he’s willing to trade in his job for his heart.

My thoughts on the book:

I didn't read the first book in the series and I have never read anything by this author so I wasn't sure what to expect. When I first started this book it seemed like so many other relationships of convince, however I liked all the characters they were fun and Family was first no matter what they faced. I loved Betsy she is a pistol and oh my I can't wait to read her story. I loved Whitney why she has a broken spirit from her divorce she was a fighter and willing to take on whatever was thrown at her. This book over all was a fun read it did have sex indicated but not in-depth. I can't wait to read more from this author and see what these fun characters are up to next. 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

In Perfect Rhythm Nikki Lynn Barrett- Love and Music in Texas Book 8

Description:

One violent tragedy changes two families lives forever...

Rachel McCleary was just five years old when her oldest brother was murdered. Now, as an adult, she's still chasing after her other brother, trying to keep him from making a terrible mistake. The one thing she knows is she won't allow history to repeat itself. It isn't until she sees a man carrying the Kessler name in an interview with his band that she has an idea where to find her troubled missing brother. After discovering a file showing Darnell still has a vendetta, she knows what she has to do.

Warn Marty Kessler.

One man's past haunts him as his life is being speculated about in the spotlight...
Marty Kessler found comfort in music as a young adult. Still tormented by the things he'd been involved in, he joined a band as a bass guitarist to give himself something to look forward to. Always in the background, he had a chance to prove to himself he could be a better man.

When his band finally makes the next move to pursue music, he jumps at the chance, knowing all too well his painful history would catch up with him. Rachel's appearance in his life with a dire warning brings up painful memories, but it's about time he face the past so he has a chance at a bright future. But can that future include Rachel, the youngest daughter of the family he had a hand in altering their lives?

My thoughts on the book:

Dang it, this book by far is by far one of the toughest books I have read by this author. It had me all over the place with emotions. This book was very hard to put down. I thought last book could the end nope this book and this story needed to be told for sure. Marty has the biggest heart and he just seems to need to find that special someone to let it shine and boy did his personality shine in this book. I really liked Rachel she was not who I thought at first, I thought she might be using Marty or not in it for the right reasons but she herself just has some things she needs to work through and one was connecting with Marty to find out the truth. I love this group of characters every time I get a book with them in it I feel like I could sit there for hours and do nothing but catch up with them I liked how even though there were some very tough situations and subjects going on the author also found a way to insert some laughter and fun with them to lighten the mood. I truly think this may be one of my favorite books in the series. There is sex in this book so may not be suitable for all readers. Over all if you have not read this series grab it you won't want to put it down or stop reading once you start. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

Her Secret Cowboy Debra Holt- Blood Brothers #3

Description:

You can’t go home again.

Devlin Braxton never thought he’d test those words and return to Braxton, Texas – the town where generations of his family had ranched honorably. Not him. As an undercover agent who spent years infiltrating the underbelly of a drug cartel with a local pipeline, everyone thought he was the devil-may-care, good-for-nothing, playboy he pretended – even his family. After the massive bust and the shoot out that nearly killed him, Devlin is ready to discover who he is and where he belongs. 

Marissa Flanagan has fought for her place in Braxton. First she had to live down the pity and gossip when she was jilted by her fiance, then prove her professional worth when the town’s beloved – and male – vet retired. She’s finally made her peace or so she thinks until Devlin Braxton shows up at her door with a proposition.

They have a past, will Devlin’s blue eyes and pulse-stopping kisses convince her he’s changed and that they might have a future?


My thoughts on the book:

This book started off really strong I liked Dev he had this good ole' cowboy who wasn't looking for hero worship but a place to call home. I was a fan of Rissa at first but then she quickly got on my nerves. In the beginning she came off as this independent, works hard for all she has takes no prisoners kind of spirit about her, then I felt like she quickly became whiney and almost annoying. I felt like the relationship just didn't work with these two it did not feel natural but almost forced. I did like how for the most part the author did keep the book clean and I like being able to find out what was going on with the other characters in the series. Overall its an ok read not the book for me. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

Extraordinary Dreams Nikki Lynn Barrett

Description:

Age is just a number...
Thirty-four year old Avery Bennett is about to begin a new chapter of her life. As the lead singer of her band, Baby Stetson, she struggles with guilt about leaving home. She has a suspicion her parents aren't telling her something important. She's also got a one and a half year old daughter and wonders if she should go on tour, even though her husband is completely supportive.
Dreams are about to come true...
Avery isn't the only one struggling. Problems arise on tour with every single member. Rumors about past relationships, self doubt problems about fitting in, and stage presence. One band member has to work through his paranoia to confront his past, which at any time could come back to haunt him now that they're in the spotlight.
Will this summer tour opening up for a mega country star be full of extraordinary dreams coming true, or will this be a true test of strength that could push even the strongest person past their limits?

My thoughts on the book:

I loved that this book was the bands view of what was taking place while reading Skyrocket and Kyra and Matt's story. I loved this book it was so hard to put down and it was a super quick read. In the end of this book I was very torn because I feel like this book could be the end of the series right now, however I also feel like the author sucks you in and has you wanting, as saying stick around the best is yet to come. I love that this read was a good clean read and you got to catch up on so many fun characters. You really can not go wrong with this book or this series. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

The Englisch Daughter: A Novel Cindy Woodsmall

Description:

A marriage is tested in this Old Order Amish novel of longing for renewed love and a path for forgiveness from the best-selling author of Gathering the Threads. 

Old Order Amish wife and mother Jemima has put her marriage and family ahead of herself for years. She's set herself aside. Raising four children, she's followed all the rules and has been patient in looking forward to her time to chase a dream of her own. 

But when she finds out that her life savings for pursuing that dream is gone--and her husband, Roy, has been hiding a child with another woman--her entire world is shattered. Will she be able to listen to God and love Roy's child? With so much at stake, how can she and Roy fix their relationship before their lives come crashing down?


My thoughts on the book:

I am the type of person who does not read the back of the book because most the times it give away a good portion of the book away, but with this book after the first two chapters I read it and was able to understand more what was happening. I was not able to put this book down it really just drew me in. My heart broke with Abi and Jemima, they are both strong women but both seem to face something that they need each other and God to get them through. I have to say I was a huge fan of Chris totally cheering him on through out the book. I will say that this book may touch a nerve with some people as it does discuss things that some christians find unfathomable, but go if you go into this story with an open heart and mind I believe wholeheartedly that the authors have something for all of us to learn from and will totally leaving you wanting more. This book is a good clean read and well worth the read.  I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

Starfish Pier Irene Hannon- Hope Harbor #6

Description:
A year ago, ex-Delta Force operator Steven Roark left the rigors of combat behind to run fishing charters in Hope Harbor, decompress, and talk some sense into his kid brother. Business is good--but making peace with his past is more challenging than he expected.

First-grade teacher Holly Miller leads a quiet, low-profile existence--until she's recruited to advocate for a cause that's dear to her heart. When she solicits Steven's assistance, sparks fly--especially after they find themselves on opposite sides of an issue that disrupts their placid seaside community.

As these two seemingly incompatible souls search for common ground, might they discover a deeper connection--and find that love can banish darkness and light the way to a future filled with promise?

Bestselling and award-winning author Irene Hannon invites you back to Hope Harbor--where hearts heal . . . and love blooms.

My thoughts on the book:

I would say this book does discuss some very tough issues. The author had a way of getting to the heart of the matter that's for sure. I did feel like the book dragged some. I like Steven why he faced his own demons he had a big heart of wanting to help those around him. As in all Hope Harbor book Charley, Gladys and Floyd make appearances through out and I always love them they have a way of  adding a good laugh to the story, but Charley has away of knowing just what to say when it needs to be said and giving the guidance and wisdom. I had mix feeling on Holly but in the end she grew on me. Over all this is a good clean read and may be suitable to all. 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
