The Secret He Keeps by Julieann Dove

Author:  Julieann Dove
Release Date:  December 08, 2016
Genre:  Romance
Star Rating:  4 ☆☆☆☆




This was a different read for me because this story was in the mystery genre as well.  I went into this story brand new and not expecting the emotional roller coaster that I was taken on.  The Secret He Keeps tells the story of Rachel.  Rachel was in a terrible car accident along with her husband, but, unfortunately, her husband died in the accident.  As a result of the accident, Rachel has lost her long term memory for the one year before the accident and leading up to the accident.  Rachel is fighting to normalize her life and to move on from the death of her husband.  What makes this story so interesting is the emotional journey that Rachel goes through and Rachel's desire to remember her husband as this saint, instead of the man that everyone has painted of him.  

The book starts off with Rachel in her living room and from there the story takes me hostage and I am a willing participant.  The only reason why I gave this story a 4 star rating was the fact that sometimes it was hard for me to tell who was talking.  The conversations did not flow as well as I would have like, but other than that the story was almost perfect. I was thrown a curve ball when Rachel's love interest changes.  I loved Dane and John as the heroes and the chemistry  between Rachel and John was electric.  The author wrote this book so well that I was put in Rachel's place trying to figure out what will happen next.  The one thing that I loved about this story was the ending. Everything comes to play and the one thing that I thought I knew, turned out to be the complete opposite.  This story was exciting, emotional, real, and mysterious.  You do not want to miss out on this story because it is phenomenal in every way.  I did not put this book down and I was depressed when it ended. I really enjoyed this story and it is a must read.. 

 Do not sleep on this book. 👀👀👀

Riding Hard by Laura Landish

Author:  Laura Landish Release Date:   March 26, 2019 What is it about quiet, broody cowboys that drives us women wild?   Is it the foul mouth or the panty dropping tone?   Whatever it may be, it is in this book.   I think I lost my religion while reading this book because it was so dirty. Grrrr.!!   My inner cheetah, yes cheetah because they are my favorite cat, came out… 😻I mean Wow.!! Okay let’s get to the meat of this cowboy stew shall we.

Saving Jake by Sharon Sala

Let me start by saying that I had no idea that this was book 3 in a series.  The book was so good that I thought it was a stand-alone novel.!!  This book tells the story of Jake and Laurel (which makes me think of "Arrow") and tells the story of how they became to accept each other's painful past and learning how to move forward with love.  This book is a wonderful example of storytelling and I enjoyed myself while reading this book.  The way the author tells this story makes it entertaining in a classy, simple way and I could not have asked for a better story.  This story gripped my heart and I was surprised by the chemistry that jumped off of the pages when it came to Jake and Laurel.  Laurel's daughter, Bonnie, just makes this book even more sweet than it already is.  I really miss when books were written like this and there is no specific point of view and it allows the author to explore different characters.  By allowing different charact...
