Long Shot by Kelly Jamieson

Release Date: February 27, 2018






The Long Shot is a story about moving forward into future and allowing love to take control. Cade is a control freak in every sense of the word and Reece is a strong, "take nothing from anyone" woman with  a mysterious past.  After Cade finds out that Reece has PTSD symptoms, he is on a mission to save her, but the table turns when Reece shows Cade that it is okay to lose a little control and to let life happen. So who do you think will fall first?  Well let's find out…………………………

This story started out fairly slow for me. I liked Reece and Cade together, but the relationship took so long to happen and when it did happened, it most certainly happened.  Reece was a waitress at The Conquistador's, a restaurant that Cade owns along with his two best friends and navy seal buddies.  The restaurant needs a new cook and a new menu to drive their food sales and in comes Reece.  She does not want anyone to know that she is a "foofoo" chef from New York, so she takes the job as a waitress instead.  Cade and Reece bump heads over the flow of the restaurant and the menu items which in turn accounts for some sexual tension. I read the last installment in this series titled, The Hot Shot, and I really liked the book and gave it four stars to be exact, but this was a little underwhelming.  I expected more chemistry and I was patiently waiting for the shoe to drop and I had to wait till the end to get it.  However, when it finally decide to drop, it knocked me down because the ending was wonderful.

I liked the fact that the author gave these characters a heart-breaking back story and they shared that "traumatic" past which, in turn, brought them closer together.  As I mentioned before, the story was a little underwhelming, but the story was solid with a plot, good side characters, and a good ending to a series.  


Rating: 3.5 ⭐⭐⭐½

One Sexy Mistake by Sarah Ballance

Author:  Sarah Ballance Date Released: November 28, 2016 Genre: Romance Rating:  3 Stars *** If it wasn't for the weird beginning to this story, I would have gave this book 4 Stars.  This story started out really weird for me to say the least,  but it grabbed my attention. I am glad that I gave this book a chance because this story is really sweet.  This book is about two computer hackers who find love on a dating app. Olivia is a computer hacker who was fired from her job because of her program being prematurely released by someone.  To make matters worse,  she is dumped by her boyfriend the next day. Wanting to have a no strings sexy one night stand, she meets Grady on line, whom is also a computer hacker. The beginning is so awkward and stupid, that I almost quit. She meets this guy on line and goes to his house, not knowing whether he is a serial killer or not. Then they proceed to have sex, but it is so awkward and it made m...

A True Cowboy Christmas

Author:  Caitlyn Crews Date Released :  October 30, 2018 I went backwards with this series because I actually read book 2 titled "Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy" back in 2019 and when I chose this book I had no idea that it was a part of the same series. Weird.. The book that we are gathered here to review is "A True Cowboy Christmas" and it tells the story of Abby and Gray Everett.  Gray Everett does not believe in love based on a failed marriage and think Abby will be the perfect and practical wife to share his life and ranch with.  You lovers do know how that always ends right?  It was a little cliché, but I am always down or up for love. Let's jump into it.  As I stated before, Gray has ranching in his blood and has just buried his very abusive father.  Gray has a teenage daughter and who also happens to be a widow.  Gray has realized that he needs a family for his daughter and an eternal partner.  A marriage without love makes sense right?...
