Goodreads Synopsis: After being publicly humiliated, Ryan never expected to see Delilah again. She left town over a year ago and no one’s heard from her since, until she shows up on Ryan’s doorstep with a suitcase and a plan. Delilah: It’s not something I just thought of. It’s a foolproof plan to get back at the man who publicly broke my heart and trashed my reputation. It only makes sense to include the one other person who could possibly understand what I’m feeling. Now, if only I can convince him to propose to me. Ryan: I swear I shouldn’t even be considering this. Her plan is insane. Moving in and faking an engagement? That kind of stuff only happens in the movies. But I just couldn’t turn her away. What happens when their fake engagement starts to feel real? Will this turn into something or will they pretend this is only for revenge? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60673035-only-for-revenge **Review to follow closer to publication*** 5 Stars!

It’s when I watch him go all sweet with his little boy that I really fall for him. Someone convinced him once that his best wasn’t good enough.

What a way to dive right into the story with a chance encounter that simultaneously made me feel mortified for Willa but at the same time was absolutely hilarious! The comparison to a character from the Harry Potter series had me cracking up so much. The hilarity at the start set the tone for the snarky, hilarious banter between the two main characters throughout the entire book that kept me laughing out loud so often while reading. And the chemistry between the two main characters was hot, hot, hot! Such excellently spicy steamy scenes with the perfect amount of boiling over heat between them. The growth shown by both characters throughout the story was excellent and it was great to see the characters overcome past challenges, trauma, and baggage. I got big time Heartland vibes with the steamy bits cranked waaaay up. I am so excited to read the bonus scenes once they are released, I can't get enough of these characters! 5 Stars! Goodreads Synopsis: The rules were simple. Keep my hands off his daughter and stay out of trouble. But now I’m stuck with her. There’s only one bed. And well, rules are made to be broken. I’m the face of professional bull riding—the golden boy. Or at least I was, until it all blew up in my face. Now my agent says I have to clean up my image, so I’m stuck with his ball-busting daughter for the rest of the season as my “full-time supervision.” But I don’t need a goddamn babysitter, especially one with skin-tight jeans, a sexy smirk, and a mouth she can’t stop running. A mouth I can’t stop thinking about. Because Summer isn’t just another conquest. She sees the man behind the mask, and she doesn’t run—she pulls me closer, even when she shouldn’t. She says this means nothing. I say this means everything. She says there are boundaries we shouldn’t cross. That my reputation can’t take any more hits—and neither can her damaged heart. I say I’m going to steal it anyway. Flawless (Chestnut Springs, #1) by Elsie Silver | Goodreads What a wild ride! (Pun intended) Both of the characters in this story have experienced so much in their lives and overcome so many enormous challenges. Their strength, courage, and growth was inspiring. This story was sweet and romantic, while also being super intriguing, and also so hot and steamy! As a Canadian reader, I love that Silver is a Canadian author and that Chestnut Springs is set in Canada. It gave me big time Heartland vibes with the awesome family atmosphere and small-town country setting. Right from page one I was hooked and spent every moment I could reading this addictive story! Also a big fan of the fact that each of Silver's books have a bonus scene that you can access if you wish. It was great to read about the main characters after 7 years had passed. I can't wait to see where the series goes next. 5 Stars! Goodreads Synopsis: Evil Queen is an annual romance anthology celebrating women's empowerment.

Hassall, Malynda Schlegel, Daisy Allen Cover Design: Cassie Chapman of Opulent Swag and Designs Evil Queen: A Charity Anthology by Dee Lagasse | Goodreads Thank you to Shannon O'Connor for providing me with an ebook copy of the novella, Sawyer, to read and review. Sawyer is part of a larger anthology, Evil Queen: A Charity Anthology, which is an annual anthology supporting women's empowerment. This edition's proceeds are supporting the charity WriteGirl, which is a creative writing and mentoring organization that empowers teen girls. This was such a powerful story of this character overcoming a huge challenge and beating the cycle that was her family history. I loved that it was focused around one of the characters from O'Connor's Eternal Port Valley series and gave us a look back into her past. It was great after reading the first 2 books of that series to gain more insight into what Sawyer has overcome to get where she is now. Definitely one I recommend! 5 Stars! Goodreads Synopsis: The ex-military pilot. The bewitched single mother. The plane crash that saves their lives... Garrett Ford is the senior pilot for his dad’s airline. When his father, Wren, dies unexpectedly, the Ford boys’ lives are sent into a tailspin of angst. But Garrett never expects his life to change the way it did. And it all starts when he meets his father’s ICU nurse. Nora is smart, strong, career-driven, and most of all, soul-crushingly beautiful. All the things that Garrett is looking for in a woman. Except for one thing that he can’t change about her…and he doesn’t realize it until it’s too late. They fall hard and fast for each other, loving so deeply that they both get blindsided when tragedy hits and Nora is forced to choose between the one she loves more than life itself…and the one she can’t seem to live without. Years later, after Nora learns the truth about what really happened, will Garrett still be there? Can a once all-consuming love survive such hurt, anguish and despair? Is it really possible to forgive and forget enough to move forward? Filled with unforgettable love and passion, Handle with Care is about second chances at love, and whether those are still possible. Handle with Care (Ford Brothers, #3) by Sandra Alex | Goodreads Wow! This is another roller coaster of emotions by Sandra Alex. Love, lust, shock, despair, terror, redemption, and back to love and lust. Handle with Care is the third book in the Ford Brothers series and each and every book draws me in even more! The young single mother ICU nurse and pilot make for an excellent pair with tons of highs and lows as their relationship is tested with huge challenges. There were some spelling, grammar, and wording issues here and there that I noticed throughout the story. These errors defunitely disrupted the flow of my reading, however, they did not detract from the great story. The timeline also threw me off a bit as much of the story seemed like it was taking place prior to the first book in the series. As someone who is reading the series in order, this threw me off and I spent a fair bit of time trying to look for clues to give me context based off of the other brother's situations. I am all for multiple perspectives and multiple timelines, but would have appreciated it more clearly stating that for at least the first part of the book, it was a jump back in time from book 1 and 2. I am loving that each book comes with the option for readers to access and extended epilogue and I have found each one of these to be excellent lead ins to the next book in the series. I can't wait to see what happens to the Ford Brothers next! 3 Stars! |
