Blurb:
“Everyone deserves a chance to be rescued.”

That’s the mantra I’m repeating when a well-equipped biker pulls over to save me. One glance at the scowl Crawford Doxe is wearing proves he isn’t impressed with the task. My efforts to change his mind deflate faster than the shredded tire at our feet. But disgruntled or not, my so-called hero still agrees to fix my flat.

I don’t expect to see Crawford again, but he’s suddenly very visible in our small town. Avoiding him would be my preference. That’s not how this story goes. For whatever reason, my daughter finds an ally in the broody mechanic. Denying her is something I do my best to avoid. I can only hope Crawford’s shine wears off before he tarnishes what little trust still exists.

As if the odds are ever on my side.

Commitments are a foreign concept to him. He doesn’t make any promises to try. That should’ve been enough for me to steer clear. It most certainly isn’t.

What follows can only be described as a disastrous clash of epic proportions.

But one indisputable fact remains. That lone soul has no plans of opening his heart.

My Review…

#BitterSweetHeat

This is a fantastic story, point-blank.  This is a story that is going to grab you from the beginning and wrap you up in it until the very end. I couldn’t put this story down until the very end and now I want more!

This is Crawford and Keegan story, with a heaping helping of Millie.

Keegan is a single mom to Millie.  Keegan is strong and after some bumps in her road, she loads up her life and Millie to make a fresh start.  Her friends are her family and the love she shows towards her daughter is total #momgoals!

Crawford is a loner, a recluse. It was sad to read how he came to be this way.  But when he helps out Keegan and Millie like a knight in dark armor, well whoo wee, grab a fan and a cool drink because the heat that fires up between them it’s gonna make you melt! His alpha tendencies go into overdrive and it’s gonna make you swoon!

I absolutely loved the interaction between Crawford and Millie.  They were kindred souls and their relationship was so sweet.

I loved the dialogue, I felt like I could actually hear the characters whispering in my ear as I was reading.  The secondary characters are absolutely amazing and I am so looking forward to a couple stories about them! (Please, please, please!)

Finally, the Healing Hugs!  I absolutely loved all the definitions throughout the story.  It made my heart feel like Ms. Rae was hugging it!

My Review…

Hot Jocks 7

It’s a bit bittersweet writing this review for the final book in the Hot Jocks series.

This is the story of the Ice Hawks rookie Jordie and the daughter of the head coach Harper.

Harper has grown up around the world of hockey. She has a very hard set of rules for herself about her interactions with hockey players. I had a bit of admiration for that. She tries hard to stick to her rules, even after she meets the winner of an auction that she was recruited to be a part of.

Jordie, the ultimate player.  He has some unresolved issues that have made him the man he is. When he bids and wins a date with Harper, well he starts feeling things that he hasn’t felt before.  He wants more and the fight that Harper puts up just makes him want her more.

This was a lovely conclusion to the series. It was fun to see all the past characters make appearances and to be able to read what has been going on with them.

Such a fun, swoony and smexy series! Well done Ms. Ryan!

Monsters come in many forms.

Some want shiny new toys to play with—others want blood.

Mona Walters dreams of adventure, of a world beyond the shoreline she’s confined to. She yearns for vibrancy in her dull, mundane existence, but succumbs to the bleakness.

Until the necklace her sister wore the night she was brutally murdered shows up on her door wrapped in a neat bow, fueling her to run away and seek out the person responsible for stealing her sister’s life.

Mona wished for more—for color in her gray world.

What she didn’t realize was just how much more she would get.

And that the world outside her own was soaked in red—blood red.

The world she dreamed of is made of nightmares.

A rich, influential world of two brothers—and once they have her in their sights, they plan to keep her there.

Her father kept her secluded for a reason.

Be careful what you wish for.

There’s a thief out there, and he’s coming for Mona’s heart.

My Review…

A Sinister Fairytales Novel

Wow! This was a story I couldn’t put down until the very end! The mystery, the intrigue, and the holy grab my pearls smexiness!

Mona is fighting to be free of the chains of her family’s skewed devotion and fights hard against the indoctrination of her upbringing. When tragedies strike, the urge to leave the island becomes overwhelming.

The Ward brothers….oh my me! Twins, tattoos, and piercings, oh my! These two embrace everything alpha, and they do it so well.  The way they embrace and protect Mona is just whew…

The mystery in this story kept me guessing until the very end. Just when I thought I had it figured out, Ms. Dukey shocked me! There are twists and turns throughout the whole story and I couldn’t put it down until the end!

See My Review Below!!!

Charlie Harrington is a respectable man. Mayor to his small, mountain town. Successful attorney. Dotting single father. After one mishap in the past, he avoids scandal. Making everyone happy is his goal. He’s nothing but content…and a bit boring. Then one morning, he finds a beautiful woman in his bedroom, and his world turns upside down. His good guy side suddenly wants to be a little bad.

Janessa Cruz has been both a have and a have-not. Ex-wife to someone famous, she’s now a single mother in hiding. She just wants to go unnoticed. Quietly starting over in her forties is the plan. Only she isn’t certain what she wants. When a misunderstanding brings her face-to-face with the sexy town mayor, she can’t seem to avoid him, and being a little reckless never felt so right. 

 

Another Harrington brother bites the dust, and he’s looking forward to getting all kinds of dirty.

 

 

My Review…

The Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge

My oh my, how I am in flove with the Harrington family! Each sibling’s story just brings more and more happiness and swoons to my heart!

The queen of over 40 romance is at it again with Silver Mayor! It gives us vintage gals such a proverbial hug and fist bump (are those still cool?)!

This is the story of Blue Ridge mayor Charlie Harrington and Janessa Cruz.  From their initial meeting to the very page, their chemistry and relationship is full of sparks, heat and swoons!  I was grabbing my fan and a cool beverage while reading their story.

Charlie is a single dad, trying to be both dad and mom to his daughter.  He is worried about his image and the fight it was to keep him in the mayoral seat. When he realizes the specialness and love he feels for Janessa, he stumbles a bit on how to make things go his way and realizes sometimes it doesn’t.

Janessa is a single mom also. She wants a fresh, new start.  She is tired of just being the arm candy spouse, seen and not heard.  Her Latina heritage won’t let her back down for fighting what she wants.  She is a fiery habanero and  I admired how she navigates her relationship with Charlie, her daughter and her ex-husband.

You are going to get all the feels when you read this story! You get heart, heat and the swoons!

Excerpt

 

“Hello, this is Ashley.”

“Am I supposed to find your antics clever?” A growly yet refined voice barks in my ear. Colton.

“Actually, you’re supposed to say ‘thank you.’ Or are you one of those men who feels emasculated by receiving flowers?”

“No, I’m the kind of man who isn’t swayed by paltry attempts at bribery.”

Why would fate assign me such a monumental jackass as my soulmate? Clearly the universe has a sick sense of humor. “Good thing I’m not trying to bribe you, then,” I say, lying through my teeth.

“Aren’t you, though? Muffins, flowers, what’s next? Maybe a box of chocolates? Half of your peanut butter sandwich? I’m not your grade school crush. I’m a professional, Miss Murphy, and only work with other professionals, which you have demonstrated time and time again, you are not.”

I tap the speaker button on my phone and toss it down on my desk. This man makes me insane. “You are truly the most condescending man I’ve ever met. You don’t know me well enough to have formed these kinds of opinions about me.”

In all honesty, his extreme dislike of me hurts. A lot. Especially with how my heart and soul long for his. He means for his words to dissuade me—to break me—but every single insult and rebuff only makes me want to prove him wrong that much more.

“They say the truth hurts, Miss Murphy. It’s not my fault you’re ill-equipped to handle the pain.”

I clench my fists so tightly my nails dig into my palms, leaving behind little crescent-shaped marks. This man makes me want to commit felonies—you know, like murder. I wonder, since he’s my soulmate, could it be classed as a crime of passion? “I can handle everything you dish out and more.”

Colton makes a noise low in his throat, and I can nearly picture the sneer on his face. “Is that a threat?”

“It’s a promise, Mr. Banks. Do your worst; I’ll not only take it—I’ll return it back tenfold.”

“You don’t have it in you.” He laughs cruelly, the dark tenor of it winding around my heart in inky swirls.

“I’m far stronger than you give credit for.” Not to mention, my plan of attack is to repay his barbs with kindness. Something tells me that will knock him off guard far more than volleying back with harsh words or petty.

“You mistake strength for stupidity.”

“And you underestimate me.” I end the call before he can reply, crumpling down to my desk chair with my heart thundering and my pulse racing.

I’ll show that sexy, arrogant jackass exactly who he’s up against. I may be quirky and kind, but those two qualities are exactly what give me an edge. Colton Banks is used to sharks and snakes, but he’s about to be brought to his knees by a creature far more deadly—a woman scorned.

My Review…

Another fantastic, fast-paced story by Ms. Farlow.

This is the story of Colton and Ashley, a true opposites attract novel!

Colton is a straight-laced and unbending as they come. He is ruthlessly honest and unapologetic. When he first runs into Ashley he is put off immediately.

Ashley is an artist, a dreamer and she is in tune with love. Between the couples that she works with and when she finds her soulmate. Even when said soulmate is against everything that she is.

It was entertaining to read the push and pull between Colton and Ashley. I loved Ashley’s tenacity, and I also applauded her for standing up for herself and not letting Colton walk all over her.

When a surprise rocks Colton to his core, it is when you see Ashley truly shine and Colton see her for what she is worth. He realizes the depth of character she has and wants to know more.

Get your hands on this entertaining, full of heart and heat story by LK Farlow!

My Review…

Ashes & Embers Book 6

I have been waiting for this story since I first read about Asher, way back in the day! Now this can totally be read as a standalone and please don’t be discouraged by the series number of this! I am telling you right now….READ THIS!

Asher is Asher and Ember’s story, their long history, their love that encompasses and brings them strength, through the good times and the bad.

This novel is going to put your heart in a blender set on frappe.  I felt all the emotions in this book.  In fact I had to put down my kindle because I was afraid my tears (a full-fledged ugly cry) was going to short it out. I would catch myself laughing out loud, and I fell in love hard with both Asher and Ember.

This story is about learning to love again and the magic that happens when two soul mates go through tragedy. To look to a new future, to try to let the past go and be in the now.

Ms. Cole has an absolute magical writing style, she brings the reader into the world she creates and makes you feel like your part of the story.  You become invested in the outcome of her characters, you will laugh, cry, and cheer them on like they were your own family and friends.

This is definitely in the running for my “Best Reads of 2020”. Well done!
