  • Cape Cod Kisses: Love on Rockwell Island # 1 by Bella Andre and Melissa Foster

     

    unnamed

    My Review

    Welcome to Rockwell Island!  Here you aren’t just at at island resort, you have come home.  That especially was true for Shelley.  When she first thought of the idea of a solo honeymoon, she never thought that it would wind up not so solo after all.  Shelley fell in love at first sight with the island, the people and most of all, Quinn.

    Quinn is a workaholic.  He left the island because he felt it was a prison than a paradise.  When his grandfather makes him and his brothers come back, he feels closed in yet again….until he sees Shelley in the cove.

    Their romance is a whirlwind and worthy of a Hallmark Special.  He is every woman’s dream and she is a free spirit that reminds him of the good of the past, present, and future.

    Their love is what everyone wishes they could have.  Can’t wait for the next installment in this series.  

    Synopsis

    When Quinn Rockwell left Rockwell Island a decade ago to build a shipping empire, he never thought he’d return to live on Cape Cod Bay—that is, until his grandfather summons Quinn and his four siblings to take over the prestigious Rockwell Resort. Quinn is already working fifteen-hour days, and the last thing he has time for is his grandfather’s demands. But on his first night back, when Quinn finds a gorgeous and carefree woman skinny-dipping in his favorite cove, he’s tempted to ignore his work for a while…and focus on her instead.

    As a free spirit who follows her heart and her dreams, Shelley Walters is not the kind of girl to wait around for Mr. Right, so she heads to Rockwell Island for the honeymoon of her dreams—a solo honeymoon. Ready for a week of sun and fun, she never expected to meet a man like Quinn Rockwell.

    Wealthy and intensely driven, Quinn is everything Shelley swore she didn’t want. Refreshingly spontaneous and a true romantic, Shelley is everything Quinn never knew he needed. Drawn together despite their differences, during a week of sizzling-hot passion and deep conversations, they fall head over heels for each other. But when their perfect week on the island is over, will their love survive in the real world?

  • Midnight Rider by Cat Johnson

    TVTMidnightRide-CatJohnson

     

    My Review

    This is a book about second chances and following your heart.  Janie thought her life was finally set, then in the next breath it looked like she was about to lose it all.  Then a downed fence and a cowboy in the bed of her truck changed it all.

    Tyler never thought he would ever settle down.  He was a ladies’ man and he was just fine with that.  Until he saw her.  That is all that it took.  I love seeing a man fall when he thought he never would.

    This book is funny, sexy and a whole lot of sweet.  I mean, who can resist a cowboy right?

    Midnight RideSynopsis

    One bucking bronco…

    Oklahoma ranch hand Tyler Jenkins is too young, too sexy, and too damn wild to be tied down by any single woman—for more than a few steamy hours…

    One hard-working widow…

    Widowed rancher Janie Smithwick is too busy paying off her debts to play rodeo with a reckless young cowboy like Tyler—no matter how hot he gets her…

    One midnight ride they’ll never forget…

    As a rule, Janie should be dating a man her own age, like her handsome neighbor Rohn—not the twenty-four-year old ranch hand he employs. But once Tyler gets Janie alone—held tight in his arms, pressed against his hard muscled body, burning with desire—the widow realizes that some rules, like broncos, are meant to be broken…

  • Clipped by Love by Toni Aleo

     

    My Review

    There is nothing like reading this book while having French Onion soup while sitting at the bar at Applebees with tears in your eyes. Because that is what happened while I was reading this book. Thank the Lord there were plenty of napkins. One minute I am crying from laughing so hard and the next because I was so touched.

    Baylor a really strong woman on the outside, but like any character deep down, she has wounds that only love can heal.

    Jayden is strong. He has to be because he is the man of the family. The minute he saw Baylor he knew she was different than any other woman he has ever seen. And he fell that fast. I love how patient he was with her. He is what most call a total KEEPER.

    This book is fun, touching and just wonderful entertainment.

    Things are heating up for the Sinclair boys! Withone already in the NHL, Jayden Sinclair is hoping to be next!

    This has been the toughest year of my life. I watched my brother go into the draft without me, my mom got divorced, and the weight of my family’s issues is heavy on my shoulders. I feel like it’s my job to fix everything while working my butt off in school and trying to make my game better. I have to go into the draft. It will give my family the support they need, and it will prove that I’m good enough. But to get there, I have to show I can be the best captain for the Bellevue Bullies. The spot is mine—no one can take it. First though, Jude is making me go on a brother’s weekend. Innocent enough, I guess…until I see her. She’s the biggest competitor I’ve ever faced. Not only for my spot but also my heart. It’s hard to ignore someone like Baylor Moore.

    ***

    I don’t lose. I can’t. My dad has bred me to be the best in anything I do. I am driven, I am smart, and I am going to be the first woman in the National Hockey League. No two ways about it. I’ve worked too hard. I’ve been through too much not to have what I want. I know I can do it. I will make my dad proud, and no one will stand in the way of that. That is, until I let him in. He scares me. He makes me feel. And he could very well be the one person who can make me want more than just to win.

    We both have the same goal. Victory. But how do you compete against the person you want to win? It’s not easy. Love isn’t something you can control. It isn’t like a puck that can be handled by a stick. No, it has a mind of its own and does what it wants.

    Neither of us saw it coming, and we really don’t know if there is a way to score, especially when you’re being Clipped by Love.

  • Honor James/April Zyon & Grace Ryles

    There are two authors that I have come to love to read.  One such author is:

    Honor James /April Zyon

    Born in the mid-seventies, this thirty-something woman has only been writing for the last six years of her life, faithfully that is. Honor has always been scribbling a phrase, a curious word or the oddest of thoughts down on anything she could find laying about. Now she piles them up before her and, if one catches her fancy, she further explores it to whatever its end might be.

    A lover of books, her reading material spans from Shakespeare to mysteries and all the way to the erotic. Anything and everything she can lay her hands on she’ll read. Though, these days, she leans more toward the paranormal than anything else.

    Poetry was her first love lasting about three solid years, don’t ask, she won’t show many of them to anyone. Then short stories became the focus and finally she began to write for more than just writing what came to mind, she started to write for pleasure and to tell the story that begged to be told.

    Life and family came next, working full time as a Customer Service Representative and raising two children got in the way and the writing that she so loved as a teenager seemed to be pushed off to the back burner of everything.

    So several years past and her children turned into more than the babies that demanded her attention and into young children and then teenagers with different demands, ones that allowed her to once more spread her imagination to the wind and ask for more, want more.

    As with all great things the door to her notebook written word might have been closed and placed on hold, but where a door closes another one opens and in this case it was with the advent of buying a computer.

    Honor spends many a sleepless nights pounding at the keyboards. She is a consummate professional in her daytime career however at night her visions swing to the fantastical and in those long hours after the children and husband are in bed, she weaves together words and blends up stories that not only bring a whole new meaning to romance, but sizzle the pages with a heat that will have the readers begging for more.  

    Honor James writes for Siren Publishing exclusively.  Her alter-ego April Zyon writes for Evernight Publishing, and coming soon, Loose Id.

     The other awsome author I have come to love is the lovely:

    Grace Ryles

    Grace Ryles currently lives in Orlando, Florida with her beloved husband. Originally from New York, Grace grew up fast and learned a lot of truths at a young age. Early on, she realized the escape that books could give her from a world that was less than understanding. As a teenager, Grace began writing stories inspired by her environment and her favorite authors. Though she never attempted to publish them, writing became a new escape, one where she could create the perfect ending for the underdog. Grace’s stories always had a common factor. The end result was always an HEA. Writing took a back burner as life intruded but reading always remained as a deep passion. It wasn’t until reading her first ménage, Divine Grace by Heather Rainier, that she discovered the love of polyamorous relationships. Her writing sprang back to life and that’s when Second Chance at Love was created, displaying her love for the polyamory lifestyle.
