Bride Next Door by Hope Ramsay

Release date: April 3, 2018

Author: Hope Ramsay
Rating: 3 Stars ⭐⭐⭐

I was so excited when this book was announced because I absolutely loved the other two books in the series. Actually, "Small Town Bride" was one of my fav books of 2017 and the second installment, "Here Comes the Bride" was just as good. Feel free to check out my reviews for these two books on my blog. Did this book meet my expectations? I had high hopes for this book because Courtney and Matt had great chemistry in the other two books and I just knew that their relationship would melt my kindle.

First, let me tell you a little about the story. Courtney is the wedding planner of the small town and a renowned "ice queen". Courtney has this little side assignment where she labels guys such as "Not so nice guy" or "Player", but she gets a rude awakening when Matt comes along and knocks her on her heels. Matt is sort of like the bad apple of the Lyndon bunch. This family is full of lawyers and politicians and he just can't seem to fit in with either career path. When I say bad apple, I mean that he is seen as the one not living up to the family name, but he wants to so badly. What happens when Matt and Courtney become neighbors? If you guessed sexy time, then you have a dirty mind my friend, but you are also correct. 😜

Now it is time for my thoughts on this book and to be completely honest with you, this book was okay. My expectations were so high that I felt very underwhelmed and third time was not the charm with this series. The chemistry that these two shared in the previous books were not as powerful in their story. The story dragged a little for me and Courtney's friend had a more exciting story to tell and I was more interested in her and her hot, tatted Irish hunk.💪

But….this book did have heart and the character development was spot on. Under Courtney iced exterior was a woman who wanted to be loved and to share her life with someone. Matt and Courtney both found something, but neither one of them wanted to take that leap. The ending was very cliché and it just wrapped up everything with a big pretty bow.

FIN.

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.!!

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
