I loved this one! Paige was scared that she could never count on anyone. I loved that Nate decided to prove it. This had angst with him falling in love first. It was funny & sweet.

At every turn of the page, I was holding my breath. This trilogy was excellent. It was filled with angst & danger.  I love age gap relationships especially teacher/student ones. Anne and her Professor had to fight every step of the way for their relationship. I hate for it to be over. This author is a master of taboo!

This one… oh my… Boston is completely unhinged. I loved it! Enzo & his little bride were everything you want in a romance. He was over the top possessive (my favorite), and she was determined to find some way to prove him wrong. The ending was wild! Believe me this one was crazy good!

These characters are my favorite. This author makes me feel her stories. She blows it out of the water each time! The storyline was epic following Dillon this time. He was so troubled throughout, and I just wanted to wrap my arms around him. This time we know how driven he is to succeed. We see him mess up, and we see him grow up. If you haven’t read this story, why are you waiting?

I LOVE cowboy romances! This one was perfect because they had been friends since childhood. Wyatt is sensitive, but he is also a slow talking cowboy that knows his way around the “ranch”. Sally is back in town to be with family before talking a job in New York. I loved that they had been best friends for so long. It helped build the relationship for me. Her father is pushing her about her job because of his thoughts on it, but I’m so glad he didn’t ruin all of their friendships. Wyatt was sexy to the max! I can wait for more of these brothers!

I feel like this author is  going to rip my heart out… I loved how Gabrielle was trying to pick up her life, and help her kids move through the grief of losing their father. Her next door neighbor is a HOT carpenter, and he has a few hang ups, but turns out to be perfect for them.  This book had me crying. Heartbroken for the boys.  This book had the perfect grumpy man who falls for the beautiful woman who falls headfirst over him. I loved it!

I have to say… I loved all the aspects of Aurelia. Sometimes she was a bitch, but I loved the times when she held on to life so close. It didn’t feel like anything could stop her. Her three bears… omg. I LOVED! I really did wonder if one of them was going to kill her. She ended up so much more closely wound into their lives. This one had so many twists. I absolutely highly recommend this Goldilocks story, and yes you will say “and this one was just right” in your head.

I loved every word of this book. Arabella reminds me of every 17 year old girl who just wants the boy to notice her. Even this 50 year old remember when she just wanted to go on the date with the boy.  Arabella was kind & sweet. I loved her! She’s basically raised herself while living at boarding schools. She’s been left on her own. She doesn’t see herself the way others see her. Rowan’s whole family saw her. This book was so good! I highly recommend this author!

This author never disappoints even when it’s just a short novella that teases us. I loved how open Luke and his mother was to her. Bertie may have everything she could possibly want, but it’s clear she doesn’t have a family like she wants. I can’t wait for more!

This Author never disappoints! I loved Rev. This story started out as a little boy, and tells us how he loses his eye. She also shows us how he and Nate come to be friends. Nate pulls Rev into things he doesn’t want to be, but he knows Nate has a rough home life so he forgives him. 

I loved how he meets Indie. She was so unapologetically herself. She is immediately drawn to Rev. There are several time jumps, but it gives Rev time to really become comfortable with himself. I felt all of his emotions. He doesn’t let his disability to stop him. I loved how naturally the story built, and I didn’t see the twist coming. I thought I knew how it would play out, and I was so surprised!
