 I loved this one! I hated the reason she was going out to the ranch.  Mollie didn’t have a chance to make things right with her father. She doesn’t fit in when she gets there, but is determined to figure it all out. I love how everyone at the ranch took her underneath their wing, but Cash is sure she’s going to run from the hard work. I loved how she changes his mind. He shows her how much her father truly cared about her. I love books like this one. It’s steamy and heartwarming. 5 stars all the way! I can’t wait for the next book.

This author kills me… I swear I was between peeing my pants & and an asthma attack trying to read it. These boys are so heartwarming. Their stories are heartbreaking, but they stuck together. They champion one another! I love them! Maverick had a tough nut to crack in Cadence, but he managed to finally get her to come around. Everyone needs a Nan. She stepped into that role seamlessly. Let me tell you the ending… between Nan & Mav or Mav & Nick. OMG… perfect!

Oh my goodness! I couldn’t wait to get In Sebastian’s head. Reading his accounting of the abuse inflicted upon him, broke my heart. You start to understand him. Ely… well of course she’s the maid working off her father’s debt. She’s jumpy, and we find she’s been subjected to abuse also. Well, of course, that’s not all. We have The Mill & The Hunt… I can’t wait to see what comes of that conversation between the boys. I don’t think Sebastian will let that go by, but we will see. I can’t wait for more.

This book was so good! We pick up where we left off, and they are hurtling to their deaths. Then there’s an Island, and Catherine has to figure it all out. I loved it! My heart hurt for Jacob, but I loved that their whole family stood up for him. 

Can we get Cancer’s story? I want to know all the stuff they can’t tell.

This book is hilarious. Daisy manages to attract trouble wherever she is. Nathan seems to be lost. He doesn’t know where he should be. He travels a long way hoping to find his purpose. I loved that it took one night for them to find one another again. He knows she is worth it. 

If you aren’t reading about Ian and his crazy family, you are missing out! Go back to the beginning. This series is worth it.

Laird & Poppy’s story is sweet and fiery. They meet at his concert, and fall fast for one another.  They are ripped apart, but when they finally come back together, you can’t stop the connection they have. I loved that Laird is turned back around to her in no time flat.  He can’t hold onto his anger. I loved it!

I loved Aaron. He was loud and made her laugh every day. He saw her, but he didn’t think he knew best. They worked together. Blue suffered abuse from childhood, but she didn’t believe she didn’t deserve her happy ending. Their struggles made it that much better.

Chloe and Jason’s story is a beautiful story of co-worker’s to lovers. She already runs his life before she even marries him. She slips into his heart, and he has hers before they even get married. I loved it. I also LOVED Mimi. She needs a man that takes care of her! Maybe a Vegas wedding… make it so Mrs. Locke!

This story was a heartbreaker. From the beginning where Ella is trying to find her way til the end.  Max broke my heart when he found her at the drink machine. Knowing something is wrong, but he couldn’t figure her out. I was in tears. When he frees her Dr. Pepper.  I knew I was going to be in love with Max. He was going to be the bridge to help her heal. 

This book was written so beautifully. His first obstacle was her. She didn’t believe she was going to get a happily ever after. He then had to fight with their brothers. Finally he has to fight her again. It was not an easy book to read so much heartbreak happening, but it was so worth it. Get chocolate, Dr. Pepper, and Kleenex! You will need it!

This book was AMAZING! I know this review will not do justice to this book, but go get the book anyway. Charlie never had an easy day in his life. Living with anxiety is not easy, and I wanted to wrap him up and shield him from the world. I had no idea this book would cover so much ground. It was beautifully written. Charlie was the guardian of a place where so many come to visit their families. Stormy was Charlie’s guardian. He saved her, and she saved him again and again. “Let it go, Charlie,” she whispered, touching her forehead to mine. “And until you do, I’ll love you enough for the both of us.”  Who doesn’t want to believe in an afterlife. This book reminded me of how short our lives are. How we must have hope. Sometimes, we don’t know what’s coming, but we must have open hearts.
