    Orla has to be one of my favorite characters in this series that wasn’t a McKinnon sister or their beaus.  She is a spitfire and it is awsome to see Jethro as a rough and gruff man.  Love this book.  It is a great peek of what life was like for Orla back in the day and what her story really was.  Have I mentioned I loved this book!??!!

    Wed by Wednesday

Read how Orla and Jethro’s story started back in the 1960s…and find out exactly how deliciously naughty these two can be! This insta-love 50,000-word novel is filled with humor, romance, and just enough erotica to keep you coming back for more. Wed by Wednesday is the prequel to Sarah O’Rourke’s Paradise series, and like all of her books, it can be read as a standalone. Free to read on KindleUnlimited with subscription!

    “Listen, chaste kisses are fine for what they are. Quick exchanges of affection. An innocent way to tell somebody they mean something. When you wanna show a woman that she’s what’s lighting the fire in your gut, though… quick and innocent pecks just don’t do the trick. Nah, a man goes dark and dirty for that kind of lesson. He wants his woman wet and hot. And he wants her that way everywhere. Her mouth. Her core. Everywhere.”

    Jethro’s lips kicked up in a sly half-smile at her sudden movement. It was like he knew he was getting to her and he enjoyed that knowledge immensely. “There’s no way you’re not from the city. Nashville or Knoxville, maybe,” he murmured, before shaking his head. “Nah, I’m bettin’ you came in from Atlanta.”

    “How…how did you know that?” Orla stuttered, her eyebrows furrowing with consternation. Just what she needed in her life – an intelligent jackass.

    “That fancy hair. Your pretty dress. Those shiny shoes that, if you look, you can see your reflection lookin’ back. And those heels of yours aren’t scuffed, so you’ve been riding, not walking. Your clothes are too wrinkled to be from Nashville or Knoxville, so you’re just rumpled enough to have gotten off the bus from Atlanta,” he surmised, with a know-it-all grin as her cheeks reddened with embarrassment. “Oh, yeah! You’re city bred from the top of your head to the tip of your toes. And a fussy little lady like you ain’t gonna find what she’s lookin’ for in Paradise.”

    “Actually, son…” Jethro’s mother began to hedge, biting her lip as she turned to look up into her son’s face. “She has found just what she’s been missing.”

    Biting her lip, Orla winced as Jethro frowned at his step mother. The woman, however, didn’t look overly worried about her son’s imminent reaction and she wondered if things would work out alright after all.

    Jethro frowned. “Mother McKinnon, we don’t have time for…”

    “Oh, just rip the bandage off, Lydia,” Nellie ordered, interrupting Jethro as she bustled over to where they all stood together. “Jethro, meet your future wife,” the waitress decreed, flapping a hand at where Orla stood, nose to chest with him. “Take a minute and let this settle in your bones, boy. Your much beloved step-momma done went and ordered you up a bride for hire.”

  • Jaxon by S. Reynolds

     This book was really different than the others.  Jaxon (love the spelling of his name btw) is pulled from SOC to train new SpecOps.  At first, you think you know who the heroine is and then poof, it is someone else.  The story kept me on my toes, yet it touched my heart.  I could never imagine going through what those girls did.

     

    jaxon-cover1Jaxon Reed led one of the best Special Recon Units in the world while he was in the Military. Now, after being out for over six years, he is requested by one of the top leaders in the Military to train a new group.

    When Jaxon and his trainees go off the grid and his team can’t get any answers, they gear up.
    “S.O.C. leaves No Man Behind”

    No one ever expects to find themselves in the middle of a life or death situation, but that’s exactly what Sloan Hayden wakes up to.
    Will she, the sheltered daughter of a Congressman, do the unthinkable to save not only herself but the lives of the women who shares her fate?

  • Jared by Nicole Edwards

    My Review

    It was so nice to visit with the Walkers and the Lamberts again.  Jared and Hope were both burned by past loves.  They do everything they can to protect their hearts, but finally give in to what their hearts all but beg for.  As always, this is a hot read with a great story of love.  Nicole Edwards always brings it.

     

    31837470

    Jared Walker is a single dad who knows what it’s like to be burned by a woman. His ex-wife tormented him in a way that’s unforgivable. It makes sense that Jared doesn’t trust women. He’s not looking for love, but when his cousin Travis puts Jared in charge of the Walker family reunion, Jared just might find himself in over his head. In more ways than one.

    Hope Lambert has one goal in life. To keep Dead Heat Ranch prospering. From sun up to sun down, she has a single-minded focus working alongside her four sisters, the job isn’t always easy, but it’s definitely worth it. Hope is convinced she needs nothing more than what’s right in front of her. Until he walks into the stable.

    It’s easy to think you know what’s best for you. That is until your heart is put to the test. What happens when the cautious cowgirl and the sexy single dad come face to face? The chemistry threatens to scorch them both. Giving in is easy.

    Not falling in love is the hard part.

  • Hide and Seek by TM Smith

     

     

    Love is love regardless of sex and circumstance.  In this case, Dusty is such an open and selfless man, I had no doubt that David would fall head over heels for him.  David is a strong and caring character.  He went through hell and back, literally, and came out the other side with the man of his dreams.  This book brings all of our favorite All Cocks characters back and continues their stories.  I especially loved the way we had a secondary romance within this book.  Dusty’s dad finds someone knew and drives Dusty crazy in the process.  I laughed and teared up.  Nothing better t from a book.

     

    Dusty Anderson left his hometown in Justin, Texas for the Big Apple not long after graduating high school with dreams of becoming an actor. A year later, no closer to realizing his dream but pretty damn close to being broke, he comes across a flyer in a local gay bar that provides a solution to his dilemma. Six years later, Dusty has all but forgotten his dream to be an actor. The family he gained when he went to work at All Cocks and the job itself are enough for him, for now at least.

    David Thompson is barely twenty-one, high on life and starting his second year at NYU as an Art student. Now that he is old enough to enjoy the city’s night life, David finds his first crush at a local hot spot in the village, The Monster Bar. Young love is laid to rest though, when David comes out to his mother and older brother with disastrous results.

    A tragic incident at the hands of David’s brother changes the course of all of their lives and brings the two together, but is it coincidence or fate? Regardless of unlikely circumstance, Dusty is inexplicably drawn to David, who suddenly finds himself alone in the world. Protective of David from the start, Dusty realizes his extended family at All Cocks and his best friend Kory will not understand this new relationship. Fearing the worst, Dusty plays a dangerous game of hide and seek, risking everything to keep David safe and sheltered.

    But hiding can only last for so long, and David and Dusty aren’t the only ones dealing with uncertainties. The Dimir men find that the one thing they’ve longed for might be within reach and Dusty’s father, Dean, arrives in town unexpectedly with secrets of his own. Truths come out and trust is put to the test. Can the All Cocks family find the happiness they deserve?

    This is the 6th book in the All Cocks stories series, the series would read best if read in order, but each book can be read as a standalone story.

    “This series is fabulous. Each set of men have their own trials and tribulations and are connected like a large family. Each time a read a story in this book I say this is my favorite. They just get better and better. I have no idea how T.M. Smith will top this but I can’t wait to see.”
