Heavenly Blues Sarah Price




Description:
In this powerful narrative, bestselling author Sarah Price takes us on the dark road to addiction.
Laura Reese is losing control. Compassionate and conscientious, she excels as a post-op nurse, but her new supervisor doesn’t care how much she needs time off. Although she’s a selfless wife and mother, news of her husband’s promotion only fills her with anxiety. The country-club lifestyle he craves triggers memories of the dysfunctional family she came from, and of her own mother’s single-minded ambition to climb the social ladder.
Laura has reached a breaking point. For her, there’s only one way to pull it all together, to balance the demands of her family and job, and to keep pleasing everyone she loves. But her little blue pills are pushing her closer to the edge…


My thoughts on the book:

Laura is starting to feel overwhelmed by life. It seems everyone wants something from her and now the holidays on upon her and she just can't seem to get a break. Her new boss seems to want to make everything that much harder and she is not about to make this transition easy. All she needs is a little something to get through it all and she knows it will give her a break, I mean it can't be that bad right? 
Just like other books I have read of Sarah’s this one does not hold back and will not disappoint at all. Sarah’s not afraid to write/talk about some tough subjects in her books and that was very much the case with Heavenly Blues.  I loved how she held nothing back in this book. Addiction whether legal or illegal is facing our nation and this book was a total eye opener to that. Addiction doesn’t have a face it can effect anyone. This book is so worth the read and is so so amazing. Once you start the book you will not want to put it down the author did an amazing job at sucking you in to the story and leaving you wanting more with every page.

Maybe This Christmas Jennifer Snow- Colorado Ice Series #3



Description:
All wrapped up . . . 

One more game. That's all that stands between NHL star Asher Westmore and a major career milestone. But then his brother bashes him against the hockey boards, sidelining him for months. Over Christmas holidays, no less. If staying off the ice doesn't drive him crazy, staying with his family will. The only bright spot amidst the mistletoe and twinkle lights: His best friend, Emma, is a physical therapist. And working out with her improves his body and his spirit.

One last time. Emma Callaway was in trouble the minute she and Asher added benefits to their friendship. How is she supposed to resist a funny, caring guy who makes her toes curl? Her heart was safe while he lived in a different state. Now that he's back home recuperating, though, it's only a matter of time before she blurts out her feelings. Emma's only hope is that with a little holiday magic, she'll get the best Christmas gift of all.

"With the perfect blend of hockey, heart, and heat, Maybe This Time is a winner!" --- USA Todaybestselling author Debbie Mason



The Colorado Ice series

Maybe This Kiss
Maybe This Time
Maybe This Love
Maybe This Summer
Maybe This Christmas



My thoughts on the book:

They were Best friends first and then become friends with benefits. Now Emma wanted more but was Asher ready for more or would the thought send him running. It seemed everyone had a plan for what they wanted from Emma but no one asked her, does she even know?  After an injury left Asher benched he starts to wonder what is next out side of hockey, especially when everyone around him seem to have it all figured out. He knows one thing it better not take long to be back on the ice because he is going back no matter the cost and no one will stop him. Then he would figure out what was next as he went. Can they figure out what they want out of life or will the cost be to much?
  
 I have been following this series from the beginning and this book did not disappoint at all. I am not sure if there are more books to come in this series but I hope so its been completely enjoyable so far. This book has to be one of my favorites, I really loved Emma and Asher friendship and how everything wasn't perfect and I enjoyed Emma and her strong personality. I loved this small town of Glenwood Falls and I love how there was follow up to the other characters in the other book and you get to find out whats going on in there lives. I will say this book does have strong language and adult scenes so it may not be suitable for all readers. Otherwise grab this book its with it and a super fun read.

Excerpt

Asher climbed out of the car. “Nah. I’ll hang out with Em tonight. I’m her last patient of the day,” he said, suddenly feeling a little better and eager to get this appointment finished so they could go back to her place for the evening. Without the meds, he was suffering a little more, and she was the only thing that eased his pain.

“All right, man. Take it easy,” Jackson said as he closed the door.

Entering the clinic, he tugged the big, heavy old door closed behind him.

“Hey, Asher,” Jane said, standing as she saw him.

“Hi, Jane. How are you?” he asked, approaching the desk and leaning over it. If he sat again, getting up would be a struggle.


“I’m great. Um, actually, I wanted to ask you…if maybe you wanted to grab a drink at the Grumpy Stump tonight?”

Caught slightly off guard, he laughed. “You don’t hang out there, do you? You’re far too pretty to be slobbered on by all the local single men.”

She blushed. “Thanks. Actually, I don’t hang out anywhere. Single-mom life doesn’t lend itself it to many dates. Not that this would be a date…”

Oh, damn. He felt like an ass saying no to the woman who was obviously putting herself out there…but he wasn’t interested in dating. In fact, since his last semi-permanent situation ended a while ago, he’d been enjoying how things were going with Emma. Right now, she was certainly the only one he wanted to be with. “I…uh…”

Emma appeared in the reception area, an unreadable expression on her face as she glanced back and forth between the two of them.

“Well, the thing is…I promised Emma I’d do that…thing with her tonight,” he said, looking at her to save him.

Her expression softened slightly as she slowly nodded. “Right, you did promise me you would do that…thing tonight.”






He smiled. Saved. Now he could resume getting excited about a full evening with her, naked, with no pressure of a flight out the next day or having to be anywhere at all. The idea excited him beyond the sexy thoughts coming to mind. He looked forward to just being with her, holding her, kissing her, and talking. He’d been so caught up in his own problems the last few weeks, he had no idea what was going on with her.

“Ok, yeah, no problem,” Jane said, busying herself with the papers on her desk.

He felt like a jerk. He turned to Emma for help.

“Um…maybe Asher could get you and Aiden tickets for a game in Denver,” she said.

Perfect. Right there—that’s why he loved her so much. The thought made him pause. Love? Of course, love. She was his best friend.

“Right, Ash?” she said when he’d yet to confirm her suggestion.

“Oh, yeah…no problem.”

Jane smiled. “Aiden would love that. Thank you,” she said, sitting back down at her desk as the phone rang.

Emma’s eyes held a hint of amusement as he followed her into her therapy room.

“What?” he asked.

She closed the door behind them and grinned. “You just turned down a hot date to suffer through dinner at my sister’s house tonight.”

Oh shit.

Halloween at the Graff Sinclair Jayne


Description:
Starting over at thirty-two is never fun, especially in a town the size of a postage stamp. Chasing that with having to beg for a job she’s wildly over-qualified for and Walker Wilder’s pride is really burned. But now that she’s the new events director for the historic Montana Graff Hotel, she’s tasked with creating buzz and traditions to fill rooms during the off-season. Halloween may not scream touristy, but hiring a spirit-hunting TV crew will definitely grab some headlines... But when the sexy spirit hunter shows up, he haunts more than her dreams.

Calum Quest is done. He’s created an entertainment empire by chasing something he’s never seen and is tired of asking questions with no answers. His life has been defined by ghosts he needs to exorcise, yet, when a red-haired, grey-eyed beauty with a body that melts his mind pours him a double shot of Laphroaig whiskey and challenges him to one more round, how can he say no?



My thoughts on the book:
Walker is coming to Marietta to hide in a sense from a past she need to get over and look for a place to belong. She feels completely let down and abandon from so many people can she move on and maybe get some answers to questions she didn't even know she had till now? Calum can't believe his eyes as she walks in but he needs to stand to his guns he there for one purpose and one purpose only to find out if he's ready to move on. But it seems the Ghost of The Graff or someone for that matter might have other plans for him. Can they get the answers they seek with out getting hurt again?

At the beginning of the book I found it was slow and dragged a little. I felt as it carried on it did pick up but there seemed to be a few slow points in the book. I really enjoyed each one of the main characters no one seems weak or came off weak, they came off strong and very independent. The book was fun and I loved catching up with the fun characters from previous books from Marietta. Over all this book was a fun read and it seems to be a quick read. I can't wait to read more from Marietta Montana. You really can't go wrong with this fun bunch.

Framed for Murder Mary Alford



Description:
FALSELY ACCUSED 

Framed for helping her partner smuggle guns—and then murdering him—CIA agent Liz Ramirez must find the evidence that will prove her innocence…before she's caught or killed. So when her squad's leader attempts to bring her in for questioning, she knows her future depends on convincing Aaron Foster to go rogue and help her. On the run from the rest of her team and the gun dealers who are convinced she knows the location of their missing weapons, Liz risks losing the proof that would clear her name. But will eluding her pursuers—and trying not to fall for the handsome commander—prove to be fatal?




My thoughts on the book:

The right side of the law is tested it seems one of their own is dirty. While the finger is point one way are they on a wild goose chase to uncover the truth or is the truth right in front of them? Who can be really trusted? As Liz takes off for answers it seems others might have a different opinion. Can she get through this all or will those close to her be lost? 
I loved this book from page one to the very last page the author through twist and turns throughout. Right when you though you had it all figured out the author would take a twist only to make you wonder if you have it all figured at, it truly will keep you guessing to the end. I also loved that this was a good clean read and how the value of friendship and trust was prominent in this book. Seriously you can not go wrong with this book, its a quick read that won't disappoint.

Merry and Bright Debbie Macomber



Description:
Christmas is the season of the heart, and #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber is here to warm yours with a delightful holiday novel of first impressions and second chances.

Merry Knight is pretty busy these days. She’s taking care of her family, baking cookies, decorating for the holidays, and hoping to stay out of the crosshairs of her stressed and by-the-book boss at the consulting firm where she temps. Her own social life is the last thing she has in mind, much less a man. Without her knowledge, Merry’s well-meaning mom and brother create an online dating profile for her—minus her photo—and the matches start rolling in. Initially, Merry is incredulous, but she reluctantly decides to give it a whirl.

Soon Merry finds herself chatting with a charming stranger, a man with similar interests and an unmistakably kind soul. Their online exchanges become the brightest part of her day. But meeting face-to-face is altogether different, and her special friend is the last person Merry expects—or desires. Still, sometimes hearts can see what our eyes cannot. In this satisfying seasonal tale, unanticipated love is only a click away.



My thoughts on the book:
Merry is on a temp job and she's always there or thats what her mom and brother point out. They want her to start dating so they come up with a plan to help her find a man. Jayson finds out some one close to him is getting married and he wonders what all the hype is about. He starts to wonder if work it everything and if he needs to start to looking for his forever women. Can they both come out of this with there hearts still in tact?
Ok I have to admit I have never read anything by Ms. Macomber I have how ever seen a handful of her work on Hallmark. I will now be reading her work she's so amazing and I just loved this book. The book is 270 pages but it seemed so much smaller it was such a quick read. From the beginning to the end the book did not lack at all. While some parts were predictable but once realize that and just read the story the whole thing is amazing. I loved how this was a clean read. There really nothing about this book I didn't like. It totally puts you in the mood for Christmas. This books is a must read for this coming holiday for sure.

Grace and the Cowboy Amity Grays



Description:

Grace Wade, business diploma in hand, is back home to pay a debt. Unfortunately, this means also having to deal with the demons from her past, particularly one handsome devil who has always taken great pleasure in watching her fail.

Tried and true cowboy Mac Palmer has waited four long years to set the record straight. He was neither responsible for his brother’s betrayal of Grace nor for the dissolution of their engagement. There's just one complication, the headstrong woman is as unwilling to admit the facts today as she was back then.

A flirt, a dare, and a stubborn cowboy—Grace should have known Mac would never back down, but why does she care? Could it be she’s actually falling for the impossible man…again?


My thoughts on the book:

Grace is back to pay a debt to her grandfather and if she could survive the next two year is will be a miracle. Can she get through this and help her granddad or will she be on the run again? Mac has her back on the ranch but he's not sure what to do with her she is madder then a bull with a bee sting. Can he convince her what he did was for her own good or will the past just be to much for the both of them to find healing?
I have never read anything my Ms. Grays and that is going to change I think i just found a fun read and a fun author. I really loved this book. It has so fun, so healing lots of friendships and lots of sass. I really enjoyed the small feel of this book but the big feel of the book to. I really enjoyed how the author just seem to let the words flow and it made it easy to follow it truly draws you into the story and does not leave you disappointed at all. I really loved all the characters and the feistiness of Grace grandparents if only we could all be blessed with them. This book has some and its a small amount of adult talk but the author didn't dwell much which made it refreshing. Seriously grab this fun read you will not regret it.
