This author always makes me laugh and cry. Noel & Luke were together before she left town to follow her dream job. He became the grinch of Mistletoe after she leaves. When she comes back, she is followed be a blizzard that will bring them back together. I loved this one. It’s hot and emotional. Their connection was steamy. This author is a must read!

I love Rock Star romances!!! This one had a lot of my favorite tropes rolled into one. I loved that they knew each other before he became famous.  I loved why she  had to get in touch with him. Bless her heart, Roberta, she just refused to make it easy on them. This one had me surprised at every turn. I do believe Shane’s was my favorite story… but don’t tell Tulsa. 😉 This book was unique. Shane and Cate surprised each other, and then they were baby surprised. I loved it!

I love this author! I want Bliss to be a real place. Sabrina follows her sister to Bliss. She finds a family there, and throws herself into setting up a school for all the kids in Bliss. She finds Wyatt & Sawyer, and she wants to get to know them. When Wyatt’s brother starts looking for him, these three are going to defend each other. 

I love how this town supports each other. They all come together when one of their own is at risk. Even the children will help if they can. This book was so funny, and Paige… I can’t wait til she grows up, but I sure enjoyed every Paige she was mentioned.

This author always pulls me into her stories. She makes me want to be a part of the families she writes. Her stories are always funny and heartwarming. I loved the push and pull between Georgia and Ripley. The attraction they fought was so intense it had me holding my breath at times. Ripley has loved her for years. The Brewers owe a favor, and Ripley is picked to do the job. Sutton needs help, and begs Georgia for help to save her dating show. Throw Ripley & Georgia together for a fake dating show, and you get funny “fake” dating that shows them that they have always loved one another. I LOVED it!

I love the Hawke family! The back story of their childhoods made this book special to me, and Atlas was very ready to let her know she was his wife.  He needed her. This book had all the suspense of wondering how Satriano would strike also. The suspense at the end… I was sweating at their back and forth. I love that the Hawkes stick together!

Fitz & Jamie were two people who met by chance. Jamie is flourishing as a travel nurse, and Fitz jumps out of planes. He lost all of his family, and blames himself. Jamie doesn’t believe she has any family left. I found their stories heartbreaking. Jamie snagged his heart before he could blink. She made him human, and he had forgotten how to be one. I loved their story. We all deserve someone who cares for us just where we are.

I can’t possibly explain how much I loved this book. Age Gaps are my favorite trope. This one was heartbreaking in the beginning, but I loved reading how Izzy picked herself back up and started again. She forges a new road, and wakes Derrick up along the way. I LOVED DERRICK! That man was so sexy the pages were on fire. Seriously, Ms. Smeltzer, find me such a man! lol I loved Lili. She takes up her issue with her Grandpa, and I loved it! I highly recommend this author! I LOVED the Epilogues!

The conclusion of Logan & Sienna’s story was so good. I was in tears. This author ripped my heart out. Logan almost lost himself. Sienna doesn’t know anything but to fight. Little Tricks was felt off the page. The Circus has to find a way to continue, and Sienna only has to remind them that they are indeed a family! I loved it!

This author makes me wish I could drop everything and read every word she’s written. I love her books. They are everything romantic, hard working, and heartwarming family books should be! I loved Daisy, Abbi, and Brady! I loved that Daisy set him in her sights. She was setting up her mother from her first meeting with him. Abby’s story is sad, but she made a way for herself. Everything you want in your female main character, and straight up fire with Brady. Of course we have all the other characters in the series, and I love that about these books. Don’t miss this series!

Talk about ANGST! This one had it off the charts. Payton’s story was heartbreaking. She is so young. Mason needed to feel needed. He couldn’t just settle. He felt his connection to Deaton & Payton from the very beginning. I loved baby Deaton. He played a role in bringing them together. I loved this one.
