Search for the Truth Kathryn Freeman

What's the book about:

Sometimes the truth hurts … 

When journalist Tess Johnson takes a job at Helix pharmaceuticals, she has a very specific motive. Tess has reason to believe the company are knowingly producing a potentially harmful drug and, if her suspicions are confirmed, she will stop at nothing to make sure the truth comes out.

Jim Knight is the president of research and development at Helix and is a force to be reckoned with. After a disastrous office affair he’s determined that nothing else will distract him from his vision for the company. Failure is simply not an option. 

As Tess and Jim start working together, both have their reasons for wanting to ignore the sexual chemistry that fires between them. But chemistry, like most things in the world of science, isn’t always easy to control.

My thoughts on the book:
Tessa has lost someone really close to her and she is ready to find the killer cause she knows someone is to blame for the death and she is pointing that finger and the company who created the drug to help cancer patients and she will stop at nothing to prove they are in the wrong. Jim has had heart break and is ready to conquer the world of medicine and at no cost will anything or anyone stop him and he doesn't care who he piss off he plans to do things his way and make things right for a change. What he doesn't plan his the one person he never wanted to see to come back in his life like a bad habit and  then Tess drops into his life will he be able to to handle all his plans before it all explodes in his face?

I will first start off saying the base of the story was written well. I expected it to be a bit of a mystery and it really wasn't. I felt like the book was a little long, if I had to divided the book in half, half was really good and the other was just ok. I felt like there really was to many details at one point I thought there was maybe a point to all of the details but nope not really, and sometime it seem to repeat its self. I will say this the not so good is spread out evenly so if you can manage to get through that the book its self was ok. Overall I would give this book a 3.5 stars I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either, maybe better for the perfect reader.

Be My Valentino Giveaway (A Jessie Stanton Novel) THIS IS CLOSED

In honor of Be My Valentino coming out Next week I am going to be doing a give away so read to the bottom and I will tell you how it goes.

Heres what the book is about:

Now that the whole truth has come out about her husband’s double life—including the fact that she and Jack were never legally married—Jessie is standing on her own for the first time in her life. As she struggles to put Adornments, her rental store for designer labels, on the map in Tinsel Town, her relationship with private investigator Danny Callahan gains momentum.

When she dresses a reluctant Danny in Valentino for undercover work at a formal affair, it’s him rather than her store that captures Hollywood’s notice. Danny, snapped by photogs, lands as the unlikely cover model on the front of L.A. Magazine. So much for inconspicuous. Will his popularity thwart her efforts to grow her business? Or worse, can Jessie afford to put her faith—and heart—into another relationship when she’s so obviously handicapped in the good judgment department?

My thoughts on the book:

New starts are never easy; there are lots of bumps in the road that get you to new starts and new chapters, as we quickly learned in book number one. Sometimes after you pick your self off you get knocked down again atleast thats how Jessie is feeling or so it seems. She seems to have everything right where she wants for now and is ready to move towards the future, when her ex husband Jack drops into her world ready to have his say and has not problem who he steps on to get there. 
Danny is really happy to continue this journey with Jessie we feel like they may have something really special going on but she can't seem to get a break and he's just not sure he knows what to do either. He never thought he would feel like this ever again. When Jessie and he run into his past for even just a minute he seems to have a few doubt of his own but he is off to help some good people get his head straight and see what the future holds for Jessie and him.

The plot and the storyline literally grab you and draw you from one page to the next and keep you there from the beginning of the book till the very end. You will find your self laughing and even some times crying. You find your self so drawn into the story you don't want to put the book, you want to no you need to know what happens and you find yourself really on the edge of your seat and then you get to the end and you just want more. If you read On a Ring and a Prayer (the first book) you find yourself catching up with some old friends and making new ones along in the journey.  I have to say hands down I will be telling everyone I know about this book, can’t wait for the rest of the series to come out. This book did not disappoint and you cannot go wrong with buy this book. The only bad thing is now I have to wait till book three comes out. But hey thats not such a bad thing right.

Montana Hero Debra Salonen

What's the book about:

During Flynn Bensen's last wildfire rescue, a woman died despite Flynn's best efforts to save her. He can’t escape his sense of failure or recurring nightmares, but he can escape to Marietta, Montana, to a new job as the head of Crawford County Search and Rescue. When he meets his scorching hot co-worker on his first day, Flynn feels like he might have just jumped from one wild fire to another that threatens to burn out of control despite his determination to keep a safe distance.
Outspoken, direct, and ambitious Kat Robinson isn’t thrilled to have a new boss—after all, if the timing had been different, she’d have been a shoe-in for Flynn’s job. But a single mom of a ten-year-old son knows where her priorities lay—with Brady, the light of her life. No way is she looking for a relationship and co-workers are always off limits. Too bad Flynn’s so darn hot, gorgeous, kind and authentic.
Will Flynn be the hero Kat needs to help her find the courage to fall in love again?

My thoughts on the book:
Kat has been in Montana a year she is "reconnecting" with a place her mom fell in love with before Kat was even boon. Her son is once again struggling and Kat is not sure is this is really the place for him and her to stay. She also has question as is this new boss of hers is fit to work with especially since her loss boss was such a "winner" to work with. She is starting to wonder if she made the right choice not taking the job as the boss. Flynn is a fire hot shot who has been dealing with a loss of a victim he can not seem to get the nightmares to stop. He knows things to need to change and he is ready for the change when he takes the job as a SAR commander in Montana. He is surprised to see that his new team is not so happy for the change and he's is ready to deal with some hard heads, head on. When both Flynn and Kat are forced together to help someone they start see that maybe things are as bad as it seems or they?
I had a blast reading this book, it was such a sweet love story. I love books that seem like the story could be taken from real life and not just a blown out story that seems so unrealistic, this book is just that a story that you feel your just catching up with friends. The chemistry in the book is there but its not what makes the book, the storyline is well written and has you drawn in and you find yourself having a hard time putting the book down. I can not wait for more from this author or more about the Montana Maverick group. You really can not go wrong with buying this book or the others in the series.

Greetings from the Flipside Rene Gutteridge, Cheryl McKay

What's the book about:
Hope Landon has been rewriting other people’s greeting cards since she was six years old. There’s always a funnier caption in there somewhere. She’s ready to chase her creative dreams in New York City with her fiancé―until he leaves Hope at the altar.

That may give her something to write about . . .

Hope disappears for the time that would have been the couple’s month-long honeymoon, and upon returning learns of her own funeral. Everyone concluded Hope must have killed herself after being jilted. Needing a fresh start more than ever, she heads for the Big Apple only to discover it isn’t easy to rent a place when you’ve been declared dead.

Taking shelter at the YMCA, Hope lands a job at an inspirational greeting card company assisting Jake, the guy who shut down his organization’s humor department. She has lost her faith in love; he needs to find something or someone that will make him laugh again.

Fun and faithful, Greetings from the Flipside will keep turning over in your mind.

My thoughts on the book:

Hope is sure of one thing she wants out of her small town of Poughkeepsie. She is getting ready to see that dream come true as she walks down the isle, she is also so happy to see another dream come true of moving to New York and becoming a famous greeting card maker.

Mercy's Rescue Debra Holt

What's the book about:

Fighting for his life after an ambush, Sheriff Josh Wellman awakes to find himself looking into the eyes of a real-life angel of mercy. Despite his groggy condition, he knows his life has changed the instant their hands touch. 

Devastating heartbreak has left Mercy Smith's faith in tatters, her heart guarded against more loss. Her dedication to the air evac trauma team she leads has insulated her from the realities of the earth below, so now Josh faces the biggest challenge of his life. 

Can he find a way around the walls that fortify her heart and convince this angel to stay on the ground with him? Can Mercy open herself to life again and find a way to restore her faith in God ... as well as love?

My thoughts on the book:

Josh has strong faith and he knows that life has no promise. When Josh is facing life or death after a ambush he finds himself face to face with the most beautiful face and he's not sure if he is dreaming but he knows one thing for sure he needs this face in his life. Mercy is sure about one thing there is a higher power but she has little faith in anything other then her self. She is sick of being hurt and heart broken and she knows that nothing can change that only problem is life keeps throwing her challenges and she is not sure what she believes any more. 
I just loved this book from page one to the very end there was not one slow point in this book. The book may look small but it packs a punch and will have you turning every single page from beginning to end. There is chemistry through out the book and there is an amount of fighting it in between the characters as well. I found my self having a real hard time putting this book down I really wanted to know what was going on. This book is defiantly a book you will want on your book shelf. This is an author I will be adding to my favorite list I can't wait to read more from Ms. Holt

Once Upon a Cowboy Maggie McGinnis

What's the book about:
Yoga instructor Jessalyn Alcott radiates peace, calm, and serenity—on the outside. Inside, she still feels like the broken, desperate girl from the trailer park. She's got dark secrets she can't share, which is why she never lets her relationships go beyond the third date. But when she travels to the Whisper Creek dude ranch for a friend's wedding, Jess is enchanted by a cowboy whose deep blue eyes, dimpled smile, and rock-hard body make it tough to remember why she keeps running scared.

Cole Driscoll has struggled to find his place on a family ranch where he's always played second fiddle. His future might be uncertain, but he's sure of one thing: He wants Jess by his side. Easier said than done. When it comes to getting close, she's full of excuses, and he longs to fix the hurt he sees in her eyes. Now that she's at Whisper Creek, there's nothing he wants more than to break down the walls around her heart and heal her pain with the power of love.

My thoughts on the book:

Jessalyn has everything together on the outside. She is so happy to be going back to Whispering Creek and see her best friends and attending another wedding, but most excited to have a break and secretly see Cole. As she walking out the door the past comes and haunts her she thought she hid all that and left it in the past she never thought it would come and find her, now what is she going to do?

He is so excited to see Jess again but when she shows up he knows he's in trouble in more ways then one and he's ready to figure out Jess. 
 I loved this book, this is one of those book that with in the first page its starts off really good and just gets better with each page. There are some really tough issues dealt with and some not so fun topics but that only made the book that much better. There is so much chemistry and love in this book that you just want the book never to end. This book is so worth the read and is so enjoyable.
