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

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.
