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

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...
