REVIEW:  LIFE'S TURNED UPSIDE DOWN (SHOW ME) BY ANNE STONE

Life's Turned Upside DownLife's Turned Upside Down by Anne Stone

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Ashton is a by the book personality. He follows the rules without listening to what he feels. Gabriella listens to her heart. But refuses to follow it's directions. Less chance of getting hurt. From the first, there is always an undercurrent of attraction between Gabriella and Ashton but a hint of fear tinges the sparks. Fate has other plans. Life's Turned Upside Down is my first Anne Stone novel, but it will not be my last. She has no qualms about putting her heart in her writing. Gabriella and Ashton were no cake walk with their hidden secrets and surface aloofness, but their drama got a reaction. As I reader, I was captivated, emotionally invested and loving every moment. That's what makes a good story.

THE NEGOTIATOR BY AVERY FLYNN

 

 

 

Release Date:  April 24, 2017

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

 

Wanted: Personal Buffer

 

Often snarly, workaholic executive seeks “buffer” from annoying outside distractions AKA people. Free spirits with personal boundary issues, excessive quirks, or general squeamishness need not apply. Salary negotiable. Confidentiality required.

 

Workaholic billionaire Sawyer Carlyle may have joked he needed a “buffer” from their marriage-obsessed mom, but he didn’t need a waiting room filled with “candidates” to further distract him. (Thanks, bro.) But when a sexy job applicant shooes his mom and the socialite in tow out of his office, Sawyer sees the genius of the plan. And the woman. In fact, Miss Clover Lee might just get the fastest promotion in history, from buffer to fake fiancé…

 

This “free-spirit” might look like hot sunshine and lickable rainbows, but she negotiates like a pitbull. Before Sawyer knows what hit him, he’s agreed to give up Friday nights for reality tv, his Saturdays for flea markets (why buy junk still baffles him), his Tuesdays and Thursdays for “date nights” (aka panty-losing opportunities if he plays his cards right). And now she wants lavender bath salts and tulips delivered every Monday?

 

Yup, she’s just screwing with him. Good thing she’s got this non-negotiatable six-weeks-and-she’s-gone rule or Sawyer may have just met this match…

REVIEW:  THE NEGOTIATOR BY AVERY FLYNN

 

The NegotiatorThe Negotiator by Avery Flynn

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Ms. Flynn lightens the mood while setting the atmosphere ablaze. The Negotiator is an opposites attract story, Sawyer is not above breaking a few rules, but free spirit Clover knows how to lay down the law. It is so much fun to watch the player get played. A seductive game of hard ball, that is amusing to watch unfold.

Wyatt Montgomery knows a barrel of legendary Zoria imperial stout will help his Denver gastropub stay on top. The only problem is the brewery that made it is no longer in business.

When Wyatt rushes into Bec Dempsey’s small-town cooperative offering to buy the last barrel of her precious Zoria, she’s thrown for a loop. She’s been burned by city-slickers before, and she’ll be damned if she’ll let it happen again. But when things start heating up between them, Bec decides to make Wyatt a counteroffer.

Unfinished Night: The Complete Duet (Caine & Addison Books 1 & 2)

 

 

UNFINISHED NIGHT:THE COMPLETE DUET (CAINE & ADDISON)  BY VIOLET DUKE

 

 

Release Date:  April 24, 2017

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

THE COMPLETE USA TODAY BESTSELLING DUET


Love, sacrifice, and the lengths one will run--and chase--when their past threatens their future. This bundled box set contains both books in Caine & Addison's bestselling duet (Bk 1: Before That Night and Bk 2: Every Night Without You).

-- BOOK 1: BEFORE THAT NIGHT--

Before that night, Addison Milan had been just a college dropout secretly raising her two young siblings in a beat-up minivan she'd bought with her first semester's tuition refund--the only money her addict mother hadn't taken off with when she'd abandoned them nearly two years ago.

Before that night, Caine Spencer had been just a rough, gruff cop sent to check out the phoned-in claims of suspected child neglect involving the same woman he'd met just months prior when she'd first served him the city's worst diner coffee...which he'd been drinking daily ever since.

Before that night, Addison would never have thought the man she'd been fighting hard not to fall for--her only friend in her new shadow of a life--would be in a position to rip her family apart.

Before that night, Caine would never have believed any woman could make him fall head over heels, let alone make him feel so damn compelled to look the other way when it came to his job.

Then that one perfect night changed everything.

-- BOOK 2: EVERY NIGHT WITHOUT YOU--

Seven years.

Seven damn years of wondering whether the woman was still alive...whether she'd spent the last two thousand five hundred fifty-five days wondering if he was still alive.

Wondering whether that night was as burned into her memory as it was his.

Seven years having his heart tethered to Addison and now she's back. With even more reasons to run than she'd had then.

Only this time, Caine isn't letting the gorgeous little flight risk out of his sight.

Regardless of how noble her reasons may be.

Note: Each of the 4 couples in the UNFINISHED LOVE series have 2 books (duets) w/ separate storylines that take place years apart. This is Caine & Addison's complete duet.

REVIEWUNFINISHED NIGHT:THE COMPLETE DUET (CAINE & ADDISON)  BY VIOLET DUKE

 

Unfinished Night: The Complete Duet (Caine & Addison Books 1 & 2)Unfinished Night: The Complete Duet by Violet Duke

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Before That Night - Never have I read anything like Before That Night. There is no subterfuge the rawness of a life interrupted and the courageous actions of a woman at the brink of despair. Addison is a very meaty character. She leads this story like a mama bear protecting her cubs and faces unspeakable danger head on. Caine is her rock when her secrets and responsibilities become too much to bear. Caine is hardly a hero, he has his own demons to bear but for a while he becomes Addison's soft place to fall. Before That Night provides a glimpse at subjects like homelessness, alcoholism and obsession while delivering an organic story of love and hope. My one pet peeve is that I didn't get my happy ending.


Every Night Without You - Ms. Duke made some surprising reveals and gave some heartbreaking answers to the questions left unanswered in Before That Night. This time around I felt more focus being put on the mysterious stalker than the romantic liaison. With all the baggage shoveled her way, it was nice to see Addison finally get the closure and happy ending she so richly deserved.

Ms. St. Claire combines two of my subjects in Sit...Stay...Beg. Furry friends of the adorable persuasion and irresistible romance that has insatiable written all over it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A guilty conscience, a broken heart and a second chance, lead to an at times confusing but no less powerful emotion packed ride. Redeeming Ryker is truly one of the best stories I've ever read. Ryder has allowed traumatic events of the past to shape his life. In one tragic act, he was orphaned and haunted by the numerous losses from that day. Ana's life has not gone untouched by tragedy. She's suffered in ways she can't even fathom. No memories of her past, Ana lives barely getting by. When a bequest brings her to Fury, her life will never be the same. Kelly Collins brings out the waterworks in this heartbreaking tale of tragedy, hope and mystery.

THE BOHEMIAN AND THE BUSINESSMAN (BLUEBERRY LANE:  THE STORY SISTERS) BY KATY REGNERY

 

 

Release Date:   April 28, 2017 

 

 

 

       

  

SYNOPSIS

 

Priscilla Story, the self-proclaimed “wild child” of the straight-laced Story clan, has always had a knack for getting herself trouble. Except this time, her “growing problem” is going to require a Daddy sooner than later…or she can kiss her inheritance good-bye.

 

Shane Olson, who previously dated Priscilla’s sister, Margaret, isn’t opposed to a marriage of convenience for the sake of furthering his business interests, but Priscilla – with her wild ways – is just about the last woman he’d choose to marry.

 

In order to make the marriage look convincing, they end up having to spend more time together than they’d originally planned. When rolling stone, Priscilla, who lives by the seat of her muu-muu, and seriously-ambitious Shane, who’s had his whole life planned since he was eleven, start falling for each other, it’s going to take a whole lot of compromise for this Bohemian and her Businessman to find their happily ever after.

The Bohemian and the Businessman (The Story Sisters #1)The Bohemian and the Businessman by Katy Regnery

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Time to take a stroll down Blueberry Lane. Where the characters are a bit eccentric, the men are irresistible and the women are as breathtaking as they are headstrong. How could I help but get lost in the rhapsody of these spellbinding characters? Strength of self and a wandering spirit force Shane and Priscilla together, but the music of the heart was a melodic symphony that neither saw coming. The Bohemian and The Businessman takes readers on a magical carpet ride of inner truth, maturity and the courage to risk it all in the name of love. I get a rush whenever I sit down to read a Katy Regnery novel. Ms. Regnery not only steals the spirit, but captivates the heart while seducing the soul. A pleasurably, seductive escape.

Those Clarksons are a powder keg of personality.

Either way, Ms. Bailey sets the bookshelves on fire with ever Clarkson novel and Too Hard to Forget is no exception. Elliot and Peggy electrify the senses with their dramatic past. He broke her heart. What better payback than to blow his mind? Too Hard to Forget makes sure a good time will be had by all. Never has a reunion been so much fun and revenge so sexy.

Ride Rough (Raven Riders, #2)Ride Rough by Laura Kaye

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Love, Honor and Protect. Maverick lives his life by those three words. The blood that flows through his veins may not be blue blood but is laced with a steel that makes him a dangerous enemy. He's a man of few words and boundaries but he gives his all to everything he does. No one can write a bad boy quite like Ms. Kaye. You want to hate him, but can't help but love him. He may not be the standard do-gooder but he loves as hard as he fights. Alexa is a weakness, he can't shake and that sets him on a course for the biggest risk of all. Ride Rough gets under the skin and leaves a mark on the heart. A dirty, sexy, thrill.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Fate brought them together. Will danger tear them apart? Randi is a walking contradiction. Her mission in life is to help people. However, her means of doing so has proved to be both a blessing and a curse. Her abilities cause her to stand out in a world of greed, danger and violence. The risk is great, but the reward is priceless in her eyes. Quasar is the man of her dreams (literally). Their unexplainable connection is as unique as the circumstances that have shadowed the people they've become and the decisions made along the way. When danger threatens to end the bond for eternity, the warrior in Quasar will stop at nothing to protect his soulmate. Seized by Seduction is an otherworldly experience. The attraction is electric and the shadows are all consuming but, Ms. Jackson imagined a winner with this cunning duo.

The Boy Friend

 

 

THE BOYFRIEND BY MIKA JOLIE

 

 

 

Release Date:  April 25, 2017

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

According to the law of attraction, women and men can’t be friends.

Contrary to this myth, my friendship with Coriander Phillips does not rest on unrequited love or un-actualized lust. We’ve been inseparable since the day I pulled one of her pigtails and she punched me in the gut.
She’s hilarious, fun to hang out with. Together, we’re like peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti and meatballs, wings and beer. A match made in heaven.
She’s the bomb.
Did I mention she’s smokin’ hot? I’ve checked her out…maybe once or twice. Hey, I’m a guy.
Seriously, no awkwardness, no secret yearning for our relationship to escalate beyond the purely platonic. I’m the boy friend—the loyal shoulder she cries on, the dispenser of coffee, sympathy, hugs, advice, and affection with no expectations.
Until the invisible line between friends and lovers became blurry.
Now I want more. I want her.
All I have to do is convince her we can be more than friends.
Right?
If only it were that easy.

Adding Mika Jolie to my one click list is the best decision I've ever made. Her characters are irreplaceable, her humor is irresistible and her stories are unforgettable. Reading her stories is like becoming a part of something special. She has a way of making a reader just as central to the story as the characters. Her style allowed The Boy Friend to become more than just a friends to lovers spiel. Cori and Dean became real, not just a couple of names on a page, but an investment of heart that was as alluring, heartwarming and witty as any romantic comedy. From clueless to priceless, The Boy Friend is a treasure worth discovering.

Kash Kamdar is the king of a peaceful but powerful island nation. As Loa Mali’s sovereign, he is always in control, the final authority.

Still, from the moment of their forced engagement, he can’t stop thinking about her.

Dayita Samar comes from one of Loa Mali’s most respected families. The Cambridge-educated scientist has dedicated her life to her country’s future. But under her staid and calm exterior, Day hides a few sexy secrets of her own. She is willing to marry her king, but also agrees that they can circumvent the law.

After one wild weekend in Dallas, Kash discovers his bride-to-be is more than she seems. Engulfed in a changing world, Kash finds exciting new possibilities for himself. Could Day help him find respite from the crushing responsibility he’s carried all his life? This fairy tale could have a happy ending, if only they can escape Kash’s past…

Virgin for the Trillionaire by Ruth Cardello

 

 

VIRGIN FOR THE TRILLIONAIRE (TAKEN BY THE TRILLIONAIRE) BY RUTH CARDELLO

 

 

 

Release Date:  April 25, 2017

 

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

 

They’re at it again! Ruth Cardello, JS Scott, and Melody Anne come together for another royal novella trilogy. This is the first novella of a three novella set. Check the dates below for release dates on the second and third novella.

Escape with three new princes as only these NYT’s bestselling authors could write them.

Virgin for the Trillionaire: Ruth Cardello (April 25, 2017)
Virgin for the Prince: J.S. Scott (June  6, 2017)
Virgin to Conquer: Melody Anne (July 3, 2017)
 
The wild ride begins with Virgin for the Trillionaire:
 
Prince Ballasare Stephan Demande needs a bride before his thirtieth birthday or he’ll lose his crown. Unlike their barbarian twin island, Rubare Virgina’s royal family is above kidnapping and murdering as a means of choosing their queens. Historically, they’ve cultivated their own selection, ensuring the purity and perfection of each. Prince Ballasare wants more, so he comes up with a plan. It’s genius really. He invites three hundred of the most beautiful and intelligent virgins from around the world to his island under the guise of attending a conference. Those who are willing to stay and participate in a series of tests are offered a chance to win one million dollars. He can only imagine the joy that the woman he chooses will feel when she discovers he and his title are the real prize.
 
Jessica Quincy is at a crossroads career wise. She hadn’t expected anyone to actually read her blog posts about her lonely life. She certainly hadn’t expected Virgin Territory to go viral. But who can stay a virgin forever? And what does a woman do when she’s no longer what she’s made a career out of writing about? She takes a risk, that’s what. Jessica attends a conference that promises to end with one participant winning a million dollars. Any ex-virgin could start over with that kind of money.  
 
She makes him laugh.
He scares, infuriates, and totally turns her on.

Unfortunately, on Rubare Virgina, being chosen by a sexy prince can have deadly consequences if you haven’t updated your blog.


Like the first novella trilogy, Taken by a Trillionaire, these novellas are escapism fantasy. If you are looking for a historically accurate representation of a monarchy or a serious depiction of how royals maintain their bloodlines, neither trilogies are for you. If you love larger than life characters and fun storylines that take you to exotic places with sexy alpha men, then welcome to our imaginary kingdoms. The men are insanely rich, the traditions are potentially deadly, and the sex will leave you craving a night on this dark isle.

Virgin for the Trillionaire (Taken by a Trillionaire Series)Virgin for the Trillionaire by Ruth Cardello

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Jessica was blessed with the gift of intelligence. Her brain has afforded her lots of opportunities but shyness and insecurities have turned her into a reclusive outcast. In an overpopulated world of people, life has been a lonely journey for her. Living anything but a fairy tale, she turns her feelings into a blog that gets people thinking and brings her to the attention of arrogantly sexy, out of her league Stephan. Stephan is on a mission. Find a bride that is pure in heart and body. What happens when these two lonely hearts unwittingly make a whole? Chaos, danger and a sensually epic modernized joining of souls. Virgin for the Trillionaire proves that although complicated, love always finds a way to deliver the heart's desire. Ms. Cardello delivers her own brand of romance: dramatic, captivating and awe inspiring.

SYNOPSIS

 

A new beginning...

A fresh start. That's exactly what Ally Shaw needs and what she's found in Glacier Ridge, Montana.

But when a dangerously irresistible cowboy rescues her little boy, Ally can't deny she's excited about what else the future might bring.

Reed Malloy was a wild horse who wouldn't be broken. Devoted to his work on the land at the expense of everything else, he'd never met a woman who could hold his interest... until Ally. And now, beautiful Ally and her fearless, freckled child have this cowboy wanting more. This isn't Ally's first time at the rodeo, though, and convincing her to trust him isn't easy. But there isn't anything he won't do to keep her safe... and make her his.

REVIEW:  REED (THE MALLOYS OF MONTANA) BY R.C. RYAN

 

Reed (Malloys of Montana #3)Reed by R.C. Ryan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Reed is like a cinematic buffet. Ms. Ryan provides imagery, heart pounding action and emotion that is as complicated as the story itself. Heartbreak and a dangerously painful past, lead Ally to the rugged terrain and beautiful landscape of Montana. Beautiful scenery and family connections aren't all that Glacier Ridge has to offer a girl with a wounded soul. How about a pair of strong arms as a safe haven? Will she trust her heart to show her the way or allow fear to destroy a chance at forever? The Malloys are an edgy family with strength of character and a family bond that helps them overcome life's darkest moments. There are no victims, only survivors. The legacy of Reed and the entire Malloy family is that united they can conquer whatever comes their way. That's the definition of family.

To Me I WedTo Me I Wed by K.M. Jackson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Fed up with the expectations and disappointments of love, Lily decides to step off the escalator and take control of her life. Sounds sane, right? The way she goes about accomplishing this task, is anything but. To Me I Wed has to be the most over the top love story that I have had the pleasure of reading, yet that is what I found so adorably intoxicating about it. When it comes to love, everyone is clueless. Love is the most frustrating, heartbreaking, irresistibly alluring emotional out there. No one understands how it works, but we all know when it feels right. K.M. Jackson scores points for originality. She created a story that is identifiable, at times certifiable, but in the end proves to an edible addiction of sweet and tempting charm.

Release Date:  April 25, 2017 

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Snowbound. Sounds so romantic, with visions of cuddling before a roaring fire, hot chocolate spiked with brandy, and a secret elopement.
Wait. What?
My fiancé’s father won’t stop trying to turn our pending wedding into a three-ring media circus so he can get free publicity for his family’s Fortune 500 company. My mother has decided she’s done with All Things Wedding and asks her teacup Chihuahua for mother-of-the-bride advice.
They’ve all gone certifiably mad.
Then the stress from the wedding puts my mother in the hospital, I scream at my future father-in-law in front of a camera crew and the video goes viral, and the romantic wedding that started with Andrew’s grand Pride and Prejudice proposal looks less like Jane Austen and more like Dostoyevsky.
So what do you do when you’re a fixer and you can’t fix something?
You give up on it.
Not on Andrew, silly.
The wedding.

Shopping for a CEO’s Wife is the 12th book in Julia Kent’s New York Times bestselling Shopping series. As Shannon and Declan enjoy their newlywed bliss, Andrew’s father wants to exploit Amanda and Andrew’s nuptials, much to Amanda’s chagrin. Can she learn to stand up to her future father-in-law and fight for what’s right? But the real question is: will Spritzy the teacup Chihuahua end up being a flower girl?

Breathtaking. Intense. Everything.

UNFORGETTABLE

Blue O'Hara.


Falling in love with her best friend's brother hadn't been in Blue's plans. She had known Spencer since she was a little girl. Annoying at times, he wasn't supposed to be The One. But an unexpected kiss changed everything. For two years, their relationship bloomed. She couldn't imagine her life without him. Then the unthinkable happened. Spencer broke Blue's heart.

Spencer Kraig.


Baseball was his dream. His life. Falling for Blue was unexpected. And the most intense experience of his life. A steady girlfriend in college was one thing. But he had his sights set on being the best in the game. He wasn't ready for anything permanent.

Breaking Blue's heart—and his own—was the hardest decision Spencer ever made.

Four years later, Blue lands her dream job with the Seattle Cyclones. So what if Spencer is their star player? She's not the same starry-eyed young woman who thought the sun rose and set with Spencer Kraig. She's moved on.

One look into Blue's eyes was all Spencer needed to know he wanted a second chance. Fame and fortune were great. But unless he had someone to share his life, what was the point? Not just anyone. The only woman he had ever loved. Could love. Blue.

Blue could forgive Spencer.
Trusting him with her heart—again—wasn't going to be as easy.

SYNOPSIS

 

One night of mind-blowing, unforgettable sex. Nothing more and nothing less. I was supposed to be his next conquest. He walked right into my office like he owned it. Like he owned me. And I let him.

How embarrassing; I didn’t even know his name.

He wasn’t my type. He was arrogant, demanding, and drop-dead gorgeous. Hell, he probably spent more time working out than he spent at work. Too bad that bad boy charm was working on me.

Between two jobs, two bosses, and college I now had to deal with another alpha male in my life. At least this one was sexy in a suit... and even sexier out of one.

Billionaire’s Bargain is a full-length, smoking hot, standalone novel with a happy ever after ending and a bad boy you won’t be able to forget!

Overachiever Serena is used to success, but at what cost to her self - esteem? Jake is a walking contradiction. He makes an impression with muscle bound good looks and an overpowering alpha personality, but struggles with father - son issues.

Release Date:  April 18, 2017

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

A guilt-driven firefighter, a widowed mother, neither is ready for love, but love has other plans.

Firefighter Lucas Bennett had the carefree life he’d always wanted until a deadly blaze took the life of his company mate and best friend. Blaming himself was easy but pulling himself from the tailspin of guilt proved to be much harder. The fog of sadness and guilt pushed him down a dangerous path until he nearly died fighting the beast. Forced to stop and reevaluate his life, he decided to make a change before it was too late.

A fire took almost everything from Sarah Robinson—her husband and her home—leaving her to raise their precious daughter alone. Everywhere she looked held memories of her husband, pouring salt on her ever-present wound. Unable to live any longer around the memories of her husband, she and her daughter moved to Oak Grove, far away from the grief of the past. All Sarah needed was the chance to start a new life for her and her daughter.

A car accident on a dark, rainy night put Lucas and Sarah on a collision course neither of them expected… with questions they’re not ready to answer. Can a single mother open her broken heart for a second chance at love? Will a broken firefighter risk his heart for what might be his only chance at forever? Are each of them willing to take one last risk to be together? His risk. Her reward. Together, they’ll mend each other's broken hearts.

If you like small-town romance where the heroes are sexy and the women are strong, unlock One Last Risk to start your visit to Oak Grove, Pennsylvania and fall in love with Lucas and Sarah!

There is nothing that compares to small town romance. The deeper connections between the long time residents. The nosy neighbors that look out for one another. Big city heartache is a regular resident in small town love, but the abundance of heart never dwindles, Nancy Stopper, pushes all my buttons with One Last Risk. Lovable characters, beautiful surroundings and hard learned lessons are prevalent. Yet, she still manages to keep the feeling of devotion, hope and healing that I love so much. Sarah and Lucas are two ships set adrift in lonely waters. Grief has been a constant friend. Will a chance encounter between the firefighter and the single mom, give them a chance to start over again?

REVIEW: A CUP OF DANGER (SEATTLE BILLIONAIRES) BY JENNIFER CONNER

 

A Cup of Danger (Seattle Billionaires, Book #1)A Cup of Danger by Jennifer Conner

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Jennifer Conner is a very talented author. Her contemporary romances are constants on my one click list. A Cup of Danger, though not as light and humorous as my normal reads by her, definitely grabs hold of your emotions. Living a life of privilege while trapped in a world of secrets and danger is not what Livia Kane signed up for. A cold husband with violent tendencies, an emotionless marriage and an attraction she is blindsided by, may just send her over the edge. Hopefully, she can survive the fall.

Summer Again (St. Caroline Series)

 

 

SUMMER AGAIN (ST. CAROLINE SERIES) BY JULIA GABRIEL

 

 

Release Date:  March 29, 2017 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Book 1 in the St. Caroline Series


A sweet summer romance set on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay

A wealthy heir called back home by family duty ...

The town of St. Caroline had never felt like home to Sterling Matthew. Even though the Matthew family could date their residence back nearly a hundred years, Sterling had grown up in boarding schools—and promptly decamped for the ski slopes of Europe after college.

When his father falls ill, his mother calls him home to run the family business, the renowned Chesapeake Inn. What Sterling finds, though, is a business on shaky financial footing and a staff resistant to the radical changes he has to make. No matter. He’ll do what needs to be done … and then leave St. Caroline for good.

A woman who’s pulled herself up by the bootstraps …

For years, Lucy Wyndham wondered whether she’d ever catch another glimpse of the boy she’d crushed on at the Chesapeake Inn’s summer camp for disadvantaged kids. He’d been tall and quiet. Mysterious and aloof. And the owner’s son. Now he’s her boss and the attraction is just as strong—but they’re no more compatible today than they were as teenagers. When he informs her that the camp must be eliminated to improve the resort’s bottom line, she embarks on an ambitious campaign to save it. Even if the price is her job ... and her heart.


Summer Again was previously published as Falling for the Prodigal Son.

REVIEW:  SUMMER AGAIN (ST. CAROLINE SERIES) BY JULIA GABRIEL

 

Summer Again (St. Caroline Series)Summer Again by Julia Gabriel

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It's always an inspiring experience to revisit a novel. Especially when the story is one by author Julia Gabriel. She can take a reader on a journey to some of the most beautiful locations in the world while breaking their hearts and giving them hope along the way. Summer Again is a story of redemption and second chances that spans from a teenage crush to an adult attraction. Sterling has struggled with feelings of inadequacy his whole life. His family had money and history but seemed to lack time and heart, at least in his case. Lucy lost her heart to the brooding owner's son years ago, will she lose even more this time around? I love this author because she proves sweet can be irresistible.

Scandalous Endeavors (Ladies and Scoundrels #1)

 

 

SCANDALOUS WALLFLOWER (LADIES AND SCOUNDRELS) BY AMANDA MARIEL

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Lady Amelia has only known the comfort of life in mid-eighteenth century English aristocracy. But when first her mother and then her father die, she finds herself alone, grief stricken and….. not of age. Her appointed guardian, an American uncle, has ordered her travel to his plantation where she must remain for at least two years when she will come of age.

With the help of Lady Grace and Lady Sarah, Lady Amelia gets her uncle to agree to give her four weeks to settle her affairs and unbeknownst to him…find an English lord to marry so she can remain in her beloved England. Despite her mourning period she endeavors to trap one of London’s eligible bachelors in matrimony.

Lord Goldstone, Lady Grace’s nephew is devilishly handsome, but a Scottish Duke and so entirely unacceptable as a possible husband. After all Scotland is not her beloved London and environs. He also has a nasty habit of showing up at all the wrong moments and thwarting her carefully laid plans to ensnare a suitable husband. Sparks fly as the pair find themselves at odds with each other and drawn to each other at the same time. Can they find a way to stop arguing long enough to explore their growing passion? Is it strong enough to make Lady Amelia give up her English home after all? Or will Lady Amelia find a suitable English lord and avoid social exile in America? Time is running out.

REVIEW:  SCANDALOUS WALLFLOWER (LADIES AND SCOUNDRELS) BY AMANDA MARIEL

 

Scandalous Endeavors (Ladies and Scoundrels #1)Scandalous Endeavors by Amanda Mariel

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Scandalous Wallflower borrows from the age old art of the classics. Ms. Mariel gave just enough of the fantasy to draw me in and enough modern realism to keep me interested. Not only does the author deliver a majestic story with a positive message, she also creates characters that are as enticing as the journey itself.

REVIEW: GOING CRAZY FOR YOU (KINDLE WORLDS:  SAPPHIRE FALLS) BY ALLISON GATTA

 

Going Crazy for You (Sapphire Falls)Going Crazy for You by Allison Gatta

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Some of the most outlandish scenarios can deliver the most humbling of messages. Anyone whose read Erin Nicholas and her Sapphire Falls series knows that to be true. Going Crazy for You by Allison Gatta, may not be as over the top, however it still causes butterflies in the heart with it's message. "Never take for granted the people you love", a motto that we know to be true, but neglect to take to heart until a tragedy happens almost out of the blue. Loss bring a reluctant Wade home to the one place, he hoped to forget. An adorable nephew and a pretty face, could have him hedging his bets. Any trip to Sapphire Falls is a pleasure.
