Christie Ridgeway is relatively a new author on my list that I’m enjoying reading. She packs quite a punch of emotions and some heartwarming narration of romance and love. And I “Can’t Fight This Feeling” to read more of her books!

Can'tFightThisFeeling-CabinFever-ChristieRidgeway-June2015

Angelica is trying to rebuild her life Blue Arrow Lake after her father drains her and several other investors off of their life savings in a Ponzi scheme. Working in a hardware store, no home to go to and desperately trying to find her bearings, she runs into Brett Walker, the guy who’s been giving her sleepless nights.

Brett Walker runs his own landscaping company, and is very protective of his hometown and his sisters. And now Angelica is bringing out feelings that he has buried a long time ago. With the war behind him but the demons still chasing him, Brett wants nothing more than to stay away from Angel Face. But circumstances bring Angelica as his neighbor and he ends up fighting a losing battle with his heart.

Christie Ridgeway has a way of drawing her characters with depth and soul. Angelica as the lost and brave woman, fighting to love herself and gain confidence sure brings a lump of sadness. With dialogues that twist our hearts, and passion to sizzle the sheets, she does a super fine job of creating a story of love, support and courage.

A definite good read for its immense strength of narration and emotions, “Can’t Find This Feeling” will touch your heart.

Spence and Sage are just two beautiful people and Melody Anne sure created them with her heart and soul. She writes some of the sweetest and most magical love stories, with enough romance and emotions to keep us warm and enthralled. I’ve read her Billionaire series and have re-read them a few times.

Over The Top – Hawk And Dawn Make The Moves!!!!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
July 22, 2015

I’ve been waiting a while to read Hawk’s and Dawn’s very own happy ending and Rebecca Zanetti doesn’t disappoint at all. Of all the books in her Mavericks Montana Series, my favorite will always be Against The Wall, and her latest “Over The Top” comes a very, very close second.

Dawn Freeze has been in love with Hawk Rain forever, and Hawk has been harboring dreams of making a life with Dawn. But the danger of his covet life keeps him away from her, and Dawn gives him the space to make up his mind yet tempts him to make up his mind or lose her forever.

OverTheTop-Mavericks-RebeccaZanetti-July2015

With intense lust and passion raining between them, hell will freeze over before Hawk lets Dawn slip away from his arms. As sparks intensify, they burn the sheets and they let love consume them. Even as danger lurks around the corner, Hawk lives up to his name of protecting Dawn.

What makes this story stand apart is Rebecca’s writing prowess of wit and humor. This is one of the most fun books that I’ve read as her supporting characters are a riot of laughs and chuckles. I mean who can argue with the Lady Elk Secret Archives of nailing a man and his love, with its insight into the ploys and toys that can be used!

And how can we not fall for these alpha mavericks as they go to no ends to protect their loved ones, even it means to act like crazy teenagers. And don’t forget their sexy and sassy partners who keep them on their toes.

The Freeze family is just a wonderful clan of loving and charming members, with strong family values, morals and unconditional love and support for each other. “Over The Top” left me with so much laughter and dazzled me to no end; a story that I will definitely revisit.

Caught Up In The Touch – Steals My Heart

Book two in the “Falcon Football Series” is just as captivating and charming as the main leads Jessica Montgomery and Logan Wilde. Falcon, Alabama seems to be going through a magical spell of romance and love as Laura Threntham pens her stories with a dazzle and a sizzle.

CaughtUpInTheTouch-FalconFootball2-LauraTrentham-Juy2015

With an aspiration to become the CFO of Montgomery Industries, on the behest of her father, Jessica Montgomery arrives in Falcon to convince Logan Wilde to join Montgomery Restaurants, so her CFO spot is cemented. But the wilderness of Falcon, the open woods and the lush greens of Falcon bring back childhood memories of love and her grandmother. And the Mountain Man sure tempts her to test the boundaries of her dreams and her reality.

Touted as a famous chef, Logan Wilde is happy running his restaurant Adaline’s and has no intent to accept a job with the Montgomerys. With a past that he’s not proud of, and a present that he intents to work at, he is happy with his current status. But Jessica with her suits and killer heals stabs right at his heart and he wants nothing more than to keep her by his side and explore the wild side with her.

I loved Laura Trentham’s first book in the series “Slow And Steady Rush” (Darcy Wilde and Robbie Dalton), and “Caught Up In The Touch” takes us a step further into the little town of Falcon, and Laura’s penning is so much more entertaining, passionate and enticing. Logan and Jessica wear their emotions on their sleeves, independent yet depending on each other, both with painful and neglected pasts, yet have managed to find their bearings, will only make us love them more for their strength and love.

With secondary characters adding depth and spice to the story, Laura does a fantastic job with “Caught Up In The Touch” as she catches our hearts.
