Author:  Sara Richardson Release Date: October 29, 2019 Christmas is a wonderful time of the year and Christmas romance novels are even better.  I have read every book in the Rocky Mountain series and for the most part, it has kept me entertained with its hot cowboys and great heart felt stories.  This story is a little different because it takes place during Christmas and it jumps right in the middle of Darla and Tye's relationship.  Darla and Tye have a friends with benefits type of relationship, but what happens when someone catches feelings and thing get messy?  Well, let's find out without spoilers, of course.

Author:  Winter Renshaw Release Date:  June 25, 2017 What a charming little story.!  My attention was caught instantly from the first page and how the heroine broke up wither her ex-boyfriend. Bad chick style.!! It showed how strong she was and I was glad to see her find love again.  This book automatically gets points for being about a cowboy and the cover is absolutely hot.  Also, for all of my Fifty Shades of Grey   fans, there is a line from the book in this story, but make no mistake, River is no Christian. ;) River and Leighton was an adventure for sure and I was there for it.   Leighton is a victim of an internet scam and she shows up at River's house under the assumption that she will rent her former childhood home for 60 days to reflect on her life.   Instead of arriving with a warm welcome, she is faced with the hot and broody River, who is happy to inform her that she was scammed out of $5000.   With nowhere else to go, she decides to sleep in her car.   Ri

Author:  Meghan Quinn Release Date:  May 7, 2019 My emotions are in complete disarray right now because I have just read one of the most wonderful, intense small town love story ever. This book was amazing and it gave me zings up my spine.  I am a true romance reader fanatic and when I read a book that toys with my emotions and pulls under that means that it is GOOOOOD!  I have no complaints about this book and come on, they have hot sex on a beach!! It doesn't getter hotter than that.!  I loved the characters and I loved the setting of the story and the small town seemed so real.  I also loved Griffin and Ren together and their chemistry was off the charts.  For Pete's sake, the prologue pulled me in and it involved a palm reader from New Orleans.  The one thing that carried this story was the family dynamic and I absolutely loved the relationship that Griffin had with his brothers.  This is going to be a short review because this book was Perfect.!!! :) G

Author:  A.J. Pine Release Date:   September 3, 2019 The book has committed the ultimate sin in the book lover's world.  This book has teased me and left me yearning for more and it does not feel good either.  I want more of this couple and most importantly, I want me a firefighter cowboy to boot.  One my favorite authors, A.J Pine, has done it again and I cannot wait until the next book in the Meadow Valley series is released.  I'm so excited, can you tell???

Author:  Mary Sue Jackson Release Date: August 13, 2019 Another cowboy and it was about time that I got back to my roots.   If you have been following my blog or reviews then you know that cowboys are my favorite and I was excited to read this book.   The title of this book basically tells you what this story is about.   A rancher gets a second chance with his high school sweetheart who is in town to take over her family's ranch after the terrible death of her father and brother in a car accident. In addition to cowboy romance, second chance romance are close to my heart.   This book has both of these elements, so what could go wrong and will I love it? Cole and Sammie were high school sweethearts who come back together purely by chance.   Sammie has been summoned   to her small hometown to lay claim to her family's ranch and her deceased mother's fine china.   Cole is a single father who has recently come home from the military and in need of a job.   Sammie i

Author: Marci Bolden Release Date:  August 13, 2019 Wow.!!  This has to be the most touching and sad story that I have ever read.  I am speechless and I had to take a day to process my emotions after reading this great story.  Let's go ahead and get the rating out of the way and say that this is a 5 star read.!  I mean, just wow.  This story of grief and forgiving yourself and others made me shed a tear because I felt the emotions that the author wrote on these pages.  I guess I should tell you all about this heart touching story to begin this review. This story revolves around Caroline and over twenty years ago her daughter, Katie, died and she blames her ex-husband, John.   John has finally found Caroline and he has come on a mission to right his wrongs before his terminal illness takes him out.   Throughout this story you get flashbacks into the past and it leaves you wondering what happened on that horrible day to Katie and why is John to blame.   Caroline is suc

Author:  Hope Ramsay Release Date: August 6, 2019 I am really touched by the hard work and the emotional journey that the author has gone through to complete this book. And for that I am proud to have read this story because I am a fan of Hope Ramsay.  With that being said, it is going to be a pain to write a honest review because I really wanted this to be a 5 Star, but unfortunately, this story did not quite meet that rating and I will tell you why. Summer on Moonlight Bay is a love story between a vet and a veterinarian.   Lia is a veteran from the Navy and she is a rolling stone looking for a place to call home.   She goes to the lovely town of Magnolia Harbor in hopes of experiencing the small town in all its glory, that's according to the charming tales that her former Navy Chaplain, Micah St. Pierre, has told her about.   On the other hand, there is Noah who can't get away from his small town fast enough.   They bond over a sweet puppy in need of help and

Author:  Caitlin Crews Release Date:  July 30, 2019 I have never read a book that has made such a turnaround like this book has before in my life. I am going to be completely honest with you and say that I was ready to quit this book and move on to the next one. My momma didn't raise no quitter but I was ready to defy my teachings and be done with this cowboy.   This story had a great premise and it instantly made me interested.   A cowboy with no memory of the last two years and falling in love all over again? Count me in and I dove head first in this story with the expectation of being entertained. Honey, was I wrong.!!! First let me start off by telling you about this flip flop story because the blurb grabs you for sure and most importantly, there is a hot cowboy to boot.   Tye is a bull rider who was in a terrible accident with a 2,000 pound bull and has lost his memory for the last two years.   Imagine his surprise when a beautiful blonde comes to his family

Author:  Laura Drake Release Date: July 2. 2019 This is gradually becoming my favorite author.   This book was such a new take on romance and it was exhilarating and refreshing. This is book two of the Chestnut Creek Series and just like the first one, I loved it.   There is something great to be said for an author who takes a risk of writing a romance with the hero being a Native American and do it very tastefully.   This story is about Nevada Sweet, who from book one, is a raunchy, tough woman with a heart of gold.   If you read book 1 then you know that Nevada was the cook from the food truck that Carly worked at temporarily.   Nevada Sweet is on the run from the drug cartel and she arrives in the small town of Unforgiven to hide out for a while.   But she wasn't counting on meeting Fish, the Navajo cook with a huge heart and even bigger muscles.   Fiercely independent, Nevada does not stand for charity or free rent, so Fish offers her his grandmother's forme

Author:  Laura Drake Release Date: December 4, 2018 I actually did not expect to like this book as much as I did.   It was refreshing and unexpectantly grounded.   This book started off with childhood sweethearts, Carly and Austin.   Carly has had it up to here with Austin and his rodeo adventures and she is ready for a wedding. Austin is quite ready to hang up his saddle from the rodeo just yet. Carly finally gets a backbone and breaks up with Austin, but in the process she makes a hug mistake? Is it too late for Austin to save his relationship with Carly? Well, let's find out. You see, Carly and Austin are childhood lovers and Carly is waiting for the life changing question.   While Carly runs her grandparents diner, Austin is a bull rider in his prime.   Carly and Austin are the town sweethearts and everyone in town just know that they will be together forever.   Lately, Carly has been reassessing her life and their relationship and has come to the conclusio

Emily March Blogger Q&A JACKSON 1.   You wrote a book! That’s pretty awesome. Why don’t you tell us a bit about what inspired Jackson and the rest of the books in the Eternity Springs world? The saying “Write what you know” says it all in my case. I’m a small-town girl and my family and friendships are center to my world. I write about love and family and friendships. I have roots in both the Colorado Rockies and the Texas Hill Country, so it was natural for me to set Eternity Springs and Redemption there. The idea for JACKSON grew out of my interest in the music currently being written and performed in Texas. I’ve always thought singer/songwriters are romantic figures so I was excited to create a hero with this background. Unfortunately, I’m not a musician and I’m definitely not a singer, but I am creative so it was fun for me to explore that aspect of a character. 2.   Introduce us to your main character! Okay. Well, Americana singer/songwriter Jackson McB

Chapter One Excerpt Nashville, Tennessee Bang. The judge’s gavel fell and officially crushed Jackson McBride’s heart. He closed his eyes. Bleak despair washed over him. Up until this very moment, he hadn’t believed she’d take it this far. He’d thought she’d come to her senses. He’d thought she would recognize that this proposal was not only nonsense, but truly insane. He’d believed that somewhere deep inside of her, she still had a spark of humanity. That she wouldn’t do this to him. To them. He’d been wrong. Damn her. Damn her and the yes-men she surrounded herself with. Damn them all to hell and back. The enormity of what had just happened washed over him. Oh, God, how will I survive this? On the heels of his anguish came the rage. It erupted hot as lava, and it fired his blood and blurred his vision with a red haze of fury. He’d never hit a woman in his life. Never come close, despite plenty of provocation from her direction. In that moment had she been within

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
