Always Red by Isabelle Ronin

Author: Isabelle Ronin
Release Date: November 7, 2017
Rating:  5 Stars  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



This book goes on my list as one of the best books of 2017 because this book has everything.  I absolutely fell in love with Caleb in this book and I will tell you why in a second.  This is book two in the widely proclaimed Red series and it picks up where book 1 left off.  I would like to add that it would be helpful to read book one first before picking this up.  I will also add that I gave book one 3 stars and you can check out my review for Chasing Red, so for me to give this book 5 stars is pretty major. Now back to book 2, in this story we have Veronica, a.k.a Red, finally accepting Caleb, her feelings and the strong love that he has for her.  While book 1 was about Caleb trying to get Red to love him, in book 2 their relationship takes off in a major way, but they are faced with obstacles of course.  This book still has the supporting colorful side characters and I still want the author to do a book about Kar and Cameron.  I am really interested in their story and at times, they were more interesting than Caleb and Red.


The only flaw that I have with the book is the repetitiveness of the "mushiness" if that makes senses.  Caleb professes his love for Red and the fact that she walks on water a whole bunch throughout this book.  While it was endearing, it became very repetitive and it dragged the story a little bit.   I also felt that it took too long for the shoe to drop with Beatrice-Rose.  No spoilers but if you read book one then you know that Beatrice-Rose is coo coo for CoaCoa puffs. 

Another plus with this story was the fact that Red was not as stubborn as she was in book 1 and she had some fight in her in this book too. Now Caleb….Caleb…Caleb made me swoon like really.  This man spoke poetry when it came to Red and it was most definitely evident that he loved and cherished her.


I absolutely loved this book with its heart, humor, heat, and intensity and, of course, Caleb.  I am so glad that the author held on to that same intensity throughout this book and I highly recommend this read. Now go pick it up. :)

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. This is book 2 of the Bennett Boys Ranch series and this one is about the quiet, broody older brother, Mark.   I was so excited to read his story because he was so mysterious and who doesn't want to see a cowboy fall in love.   Hopefully you have read book 1 because I am about to drop a spoiler.   Okay…Mark's younger brother James from book 1 is getting married at   resort outside of town and this is where Mark meets Katelyn, an event coordinator.   Now I will not go too deep into the story, but Mark and Katelyn's

Jackson by Emily March

Author:  Emily March Release Date:  June 25, 2019 Right from the start this book grabbed me and I have never been so happy to be held hostage.  This book was wonderful and it made me feel so alive.  This is the feeling that I get when I read a good book and I just want to lay here and bask in its glory.  The romance, the drama, the rawness, and the superb writing hit every mark for me.  I have read one other book by this author and it was titled A Kiss of Spring and that was a 5 star read for me as well.  The writing flowed like water within a river bank and the characters were so charming and likeable.  I just finished reading this like 1 hour ago and I had to get my thoughts on paper ASAP.  I got that warm gooey feeling and that is sure sign that I am in love with this book.  Enough of my praising and blushing, now let me tell you about this story. If you are like me and started in the middle of the Eternity Springs Series, you have found a safe place because even t

It's all about that Cowboy by Carly Bloom

Author Carly Bloom Release Date  January 14, 2020 Wow!. This was a really quick read for me and I was really surprised.  I was not expecting for the story to end so abruptly and I am unsure if that was the author's intention.  The story was surprisingly witty and it gave me a couple of chuckles. This story follows Jessica and  Casey in the small town of Big Verde and they were small tow, high school sweethearts.  Jessica is back in town for a funeral and she was hoping to go in and out of this small town without bumping into Casey, the town sheriff.  Will they find the flame where their loved burned again? Jessica was forced to leave her beloved town with a major secret that will surely rock Big Verde to its core.  After graduation, Jessica and Casey promised each other the future and all the love that came with it, but after an unexpected pregnancy in the family forces Jessica's family to skip town overnight.  Fast forward twelve years later, Jessica is a successful restaurant
