Here’s another entertaining story from the Men Of Zodiac series by Jackie Braun. There are no bells and whistles in “Revenge Best Served Hot”, but we get tons of emotions, courage, grit and the complicated relationships we live with, and two wonderful people who are made for each other.

RevengeBestServedHot-Zodiac-JackieBraun-Jun2015

Brody Flynn is finally wetting out the revenge on the company that was responsible for the death of his parents with a hostile take over and he has big dreams once he sells off the company in pieces. But his dreams never saw Kate Douglass and he’s thrown out for a loop as she has other plans for the company and wants to buy back the Douglass legacy that belongs to her.

Working as the VP of Operations of the company and in close proximity, Kate and Brody explore the sparks that flare between them. Enemies become friends and friends to lovers yet there is an underlying tone of distrust. As they get to know each other, love creeps in and so do insecurities and fears.

I totally loved this book. There was so much charisma and chemistry between Brody and Kate that gives this story that extra sizzle. The narration and progress of their relationship is done well and so is the characterization of Brody and Kate. Jackie Braun is a fabulous writer and I am enjoying her stories more and more.

A definitely entertaining and lovable story.

The Taming Of The Bachelor – Good Read

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

I’ve always liked reading Jane Porter and her charming love stories. They are sweet, emotional, fun – all ingredients that make them worthy reads.

TheTamingOfTheBachelor-Sheenans4-JanePorter-Jun2015

Sexy and nerdy Dillon Sheenan and the pretty and widow Paige Doffe make an ultra sweet couple as they explore the sparks of attraction that defies age. Dillon always had a sweet spot for Paige, yet kept his distance due to the age difference and her marriage. But now the field is open, yet he hesitates, as he’s ready to leave Marietta for good.

The responsibilities of being a single mom and keeping her diner going, leaves no time for anything, no matter how tempting Dillon makes it. Yet she cannot deny her attraction for him or keep from losing her heart to him. Paige is just a wonderful person, working hard, kind and never pushes Dillon or expects anything in life, but is grateful for what she has and nothing more and nothing less.

“The Taming Of The Bachelor” will give you the laughs with the tears, the pain with the love, the insecurities with new chances and a couple that realize they are meant to be together.

One Night With The Cowboy – Rocks!!!!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
June 7, 2015

“One Night With The Cowboy” and I am totally enchanted!!! This is definitely one of those books that will leave you with so much warmth, love and fun!! Loved the bond between the brothers, their conversations, wit and wisecracks are enjoyable and the entire situation and story just leaves the palette satisfied, yet wanting more.

Book two of the Whiskey River Series is all about Trey Kelly, the eldest of the Kelly brothers, and the consequent books will tell us the stories of the other brothers, and of course looks like their intended partners may have come up in this book.

OneNightWithTheCowboy-WhiskeyRiver2-EveGaddy-Jun2015

Successful and millionaire in his own right, Trey Kelly gets the shock of his life when he realizes that his dead father has two more sons and they are forced to live together under one roof for a year per his will. And in the midst of this situation, Trey finds himself falling for the Lavender farm lady and chemist Ariana Wright.

Ariana Wright comes back home after an accident that scared her physically and emotionally. A successful chemist as well as a business owner running her own line of products, she’s become a recluse and now has to face off with Trey for a piece of land that is require for her business. Having a crush on Trey doesn’t help her situation and as they both give into their feelings for each other, her fears of disfigurement and insecurities hold Ariana back from making a commitment.

This is one of those off-hand books that is a super sweet surprise package of romance and family and I am so glad I read it. It was just plain enjoyable and wonderful! It’s just the way Eve Gaddy narrates the story and for a short novella, she did a fantastic job developing characters, including the brothers. Loved the get-to-know-the-brothers around the pool table and it was so very well placed and versed. Same with Ariana and Trey, as she created magic between them and the progress of their love story was just so charming and irresistible.

Eve Gaddy and the Kelly brothers sure made quite an impression with me, and have me hooked!! I am so looking forward to reading the other brothers’ downfall into love…and I guess the characters are already in play.

Her plate is full with taking care of her autistic son, who is her entire world and getting over a past of pain and fear. Coming to the McNair ranch means only thing to her and that is for her son to be a part of the camp for special needs children.

PursuedByTheRancher-DiamondsInRough-CMann-Jun2015

But Alex McNair falls head over heels in love with Nina, and pursues her relentlessly to gain her affection and love. Granted he is yet to tell her that his stake in the McNair estate rests in Nina’s and her son’s hands, and he may lose everything once his secret is exposed.

A really sweet and emotional story of a mother trying to give her son the best possible resources to overcome autism and lead as normal a life can be, and a warm and kind hearted millionaire wanting to give the lady he loves all the good things she deserves in life, and Catherine Mann does what she is best at – writing a charming love story that pleases the palette and keeps the romance in our hearts glowing.
