More neighborhoods are doing the Christmas lane thing with lights and decor from every house. When someone new buys a home you’d hope the decor would stay, but what about when it gets donated? Tyler and Kelly, neighbors on Santa Claus Lane have just that experience. We’ve got cute kids, doting grandfather, and hockey players to wrap up this lovely wholesome story. This is not connected to the other books in the collection. ...more

Jesse, small town deputy with deep roots in town, meets Annie when he pulls her over. Annie, new to town and already fully invested in the community, takes a liking to Jesse and his family. While the town is getting ready to promote the museum the two friends realize they feel more for each other. I enjoyed the meddling of the towns people and the natural conversations between Jesse and Annie, nothing awkward,...more

She made Brent work very hard to change her prejudice about cowboys. He’s too good to be true but he’s very sweet, thoughtful, and religious. Although the story was relatively short with lovely characters I liked him more than her, she was too hardheaded and not someone likable. Received a copy years ago and finally found again to read and review....more
A bit of a love triangle. Brendan is a sweetheart, trying to win back Alyssa’s love, but he messed up royally. Dalton, while he’s got everything goingA bit of a love triangle. Brendan is a sweetheart, trying to win back Alyssa’s love, but he messed up royally. Dalton, while he’s got everything going him, seems a tad sleezy for Alyssa. I wanted to like her but she seems too young and a bit immature to fully grasp the world. There weren’t any moments where I was invested in the couple, it’s obvious which one she chooses and the path wasn’t very exciting. ...more

But nobody told Wynne, a few days before her wedding she noticed signs of a marriage in trouble before it began. This story isn’t like an average romance, it almost lacks any romance at all. Wynne is second guessing her choices while putting on a happy face and going about the wedding plans. It was a simple story, predictable, yet I never could feel anything for the characters. The groom, Andy, is practically non existent. The new friend magically inserts herself at just the right time and she ignores her gut on the topic of religion. I received a copy many years ago, forgot about it, and here we are. It was ok but lacked feeling....more

At times he seemed a bit controlling and put pressure on her when her mother was being controlling. It was a little like an abusive relationship. Books with a religious message have never bothered me but this became stifling and abrupt with the mention of God from zero to 100. The story has great points and good lessons but the direction was a little misguided. ...more

The romance writer and the glass blower, Millie and Drake. We met Drake in Tap, Sistine's brother also known as Iron Man, and I knew he'd be special. His relationship with his sisters is loving and comical. His personality is quirky, sarcastic and creative. Millie, the romance writer with something to prove, has unresolved feelings concerning her father. She's feisty, smart and fits into the small town life. Bodega Bay is gorgeous, having only been there once I can appreciate the details described. They started as enemies, the tourist versus the townie, and end as lovers. Their story is separate from the other books but we see Sistine and Cade occasionally. I received an early copy and wrote my review voluntarily....more
The Hidden Saga is the story the Light and Dark Court, one trying to out rule the other. We've followed the story of Ryann and Lad in previous books, The Hidden Saga is the story the Light and Dark Court, one trying to out rule the other. We've followed the story of Ryann and Lad in previous books, the leaders of the Light Court. Interwoven in their story are Vancia and Nox, Dark Court royalty and musicians on tour. The two couples have been trying to become a unified front and combine the two courts for a larger fae family. Unfortunately there are still leaders, such as Culley's father Auden, who believe the Dark Elves should rule the world and control humans. This is what Culley and Ava are caught up in but Ava's heart has changed when she realizes Auden's evil plan. We met them in Hidden Darkness when Ava used her glamour to change the memories of Ryann and Lad, she has since found peace and happiness. This was a tale of growing up, finding her true passion and understanding forgiveness. I highly recommend reading this series from the beginning to understand the village of Altum and start of these relationships. I was given an advanced reader's copy for my honest review.

Stolen Away is the third book in this seMarts has a fun writing style with sassy intelligent women and big tough men that make it a true joy to read. Stolen Away is the third book in this series, although my first, and a complete stand alone. The other couples from the series are involved quite a bit but their stories don't have anything to do with Cash and Emma. Poor Emma has had a rough go at romance with an abusive husband. Finding Cash was purely accidental but definitely fated in the stars. Cash has a dark past but only because he feels guilty over something he should not be thinking twice about. He helps Emma become stronger and independent while he gains his own footing with this new relationship thing. Like most romances their story is predictable, however it's the suspenseful action that will keep you at the edge of your seat. Since I started backwards I'm looking forward to starting the series from the beginning. My copy was given through Netgalley for my honest review.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, never would have imagined I’d read a book about these guys, ever. Amazing! I requested this book from NetGalley knButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, never would have imagined I’d read a book about these guys, ever. Amazing! I requested this book from NetGalley knowing Harmon wrote intense historical novels but I’ve never read one. Taking chances on new-to-me authors usually works out and I’m so pleased I took the chance. Cassidy, aka Salt, aka Robert, is a man of many names but always a man of intelligence and a bit of a pushover concerning his brother Van and Augustus. Gus, my favorite character, is ten with a huge personality and great protective instincts for his mom. I hope you get as swept away by this adventure and these amazing characters as I did. ...more

We have a sweet baker and new firefighter that prove it many times over. Faith overcomes many challenges in the course of the book and conquers each one, including some last minute important duties. Mitch settles in nicely to his new community and station house, but it’s Faith that keeps him in Snowdrift. The whole series takes place in the same town but are not connected, maybe a few cameos of previous couples. It’s easy to enjoy the series, perfect for everyone old and young.

Relationships never last from high school, but Shiloh, Cary and Mikey gave it a go. After fourteen years of not seeing each other a wedding brings the band together. Mikey is the third wheel, sort of, and is secretly supportive of his friends. Cary is a career Navy man with some familial issues he’s working out. Shiloh has two kids, a manipulating ex, and lives with her mom. Every person has changed and evolved since high school, except how Cary and Shiloh feel for each other. Their path is slow going, bless Cary for being an understanding and patient man. Their story was a joy to read, easily losing my thoughts to their world, and wanting to witness their relationship in person. I was thrilled to get an early copy from NetGalley and have left my review voluntarily. ...more

Sarah and Lance have known each other since childhood, concealing crushes a long time. Changes in Sarah’s life allowed her to move back home and start fresh. I just love the adorable way everyone fawns over little Laney and encourages each other. The town is charming and touristy, tucked into a fictional mountain in California. Their story stands alone but is slightly connected to Holden and Rachel’s story, Holden and Sarah are siblings. I enjoyed reading an advanced copy and wrote this review voluntarily. ...more
