I've lived, I've loved, I've lost, I've missed, I've trusted, I've hurt, I've made mistakes. But most of all, I've learned.

“Trusting Cassidy” is the last of the Silverstone Towing Series as the last man standing, Leo Zanardi, aka “Gramps”, gets a second chance at reclaiming his love.
Gramps and his teammates are tasked with rescuing his high school love, Cassidy Hewitt and her son from the clutches of a kingpin in Jamaica. Rescuing Cassidy may have gone according to plan, but for Cassidy and her son to live a normal life is a struggle as they are still hunted by evil they thought was behind them. It will take the entire Silverstone team and the courageous Cassidy to put an end to this danger, before Leo and she can make their dream of becoming a family, a reality.
I sure will miss this series, but I also cannot wait to read the next series of books that are coming from Susan Stoker.

“Trusting Molly” continues towing the line in the new series of Silverstone. Kidnapped and rescued by the special Silverstone crew, Molly Smith has a lot of trauma to get over, and Mark “Smoke” Chamberlin is right in the wings to support Molly in her new rescued life. But coming home to tragic news, and finding herself all alone in the world can be terrifying by any standards. And trying to unmask the domestic danger threatening Molly is even more of a challenge that Smoke is willing to put that threat six feet under to protect the love of his life.
I have not missed one single book of Susan Stoker! From her Badge Of Honor series to Delta Force Heroes series to Seal Of Protection series to Ace Security series, and now the Silverstone series, the plots may be simple and very realistic, but there’s just this charm in her narration that draws me to her books time and again.
There’s no denying the fact that she’s one of my top authors I’m addicted to. Her writing is intense, her characters charismatic, her plots entertaining and her narration are tight and emotionally charged to keep the readers engrossed and enthralled.

Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now on and make a brand new ending ~~ Carl Bard ~~
I still remember the first book of Jennifer Ryan’s that I read and was ecstatic to find a her and I totally would be lost if I don’t get to read her books to feed my reading addiction; be it her new releases or just the countless times I have fallen back to read her previous works.
Meet Sarah Anderson – a woman who lost herself in the struggles of life, yet found her very self as a successful and enterprising business woman, a mother who adored her two boys, an employer who has the best interests of her employees at the core of her organization treating them as family, and a genuine and honest friend to the very few people she has in her life. With not one single bad bone in her body, empathy and compassion running in her blood, sensitive and generous to the depth of her soul, she may be a fictional character sketched by Jennifer Ryan, but they do exist, and I can truly relate to this very character and personality.
And her soulmate in the making, nothing but the best in Luke Thompson – a successful attorney and a cowboy, caught between the family dynamics of Sarah and her dead husband’s family, his heart and mind at a war even as he falls for her but questioning her actions, he’s got some decisions to make. Spending time with Sarah and her boys, and as her family secrets come to light, making decisions that would effect his future has never been difficult.
“Lost And Found Family” is a wholesome story of a woman choosing a life that is important to her, empowering herself by working hard on the right things leads to a successful career, losing a past that was hurtful and finding a present that only would lead to a future that she always had wanted. Take this journey with Sarah Anderson and Luke Thompson as they finally become a family that they’ve always dreamed of, a brand new ending.
Jennifer Ryan always had an exceptional writing and narrative skill and no review will do justice to her books unless read in person Writing a book is never, ever easy and she has not one wasted word in this amazing story. She’s taken life as is and has placed in a book that breathes this very life as the story unfolds. A true reader’s pleasure!

I’ve become addicted to another author writing stories around alpha males and their equally worthy women, crossover characters from another of my favorite authors……so many to read and so less time!!!!!
Nicole Flockton is a fairly new author for me that I’m enjoying. Who would have thought a routine run to a grocery store would bring Knox Porter and Penni Stewart together in the middle of a hostage situation, But then, stranger things have known to happen, and thus starts their journey of friendship, sparks, love and add in the danger that is the extension of the hostage incident, you get a great read. And if you get to hear from Tex, that is icing on the cake!
A great read, and a great series so far.

Donna Grant’s new series, “Heart Of Texas” continues with her next book, “A Cowboy Kind Of Love”, yet another story of lost love and regrets, of second chances and a happily ever after.
Jace Wilder and Taryn Hillman have a lot of past hurt and pain that needs to be put to rest before they can actually dream of a future. Taryn has a terrifying past that continues to haunt her and Jace needs to decides if he wants to grab the second chance he got, and lay down his life to take what belongs to him.
Another fast read from Donna Grant, as always captivating her readers with a story of love, forgiveness and hope. She’s one author who does tremendous justice to paranormal as well as a romance with an ease of mastery.
Jace and Taryn will take you on a ride you can’t forget.
