"ʏᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ ᴏᴜʀs, ᴜɴᴛɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʟᴀsᴛ sᴛᴀʀ ғᴀʟʟs ᴏᴜᴛ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴀᴛ sᴋʏ.”
SWOON-WORTHY........need I say more!! Kristen's men are always top-notch in this category, and Bridger was no exception! This man knew what he wanted and wouldn't stop until he got the girl or, in his words, his "Kitten."
Dani had a traumatic childhood growing up, but the one constant she did have was the Blackwell family. More importantly, Bridger was her safe place, and now watching their friendship organically grow to lovers is beautiful and meant to be. The chemistry between these two is hot as hell, and the dirty talking fire chief is wow, just wow!
“ʙᴀʙʏ, ɪ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴀʏ ɪ ғᴇᴇʟ ᴡʜᴇɴ ɪ’ᴍ ɪɴsɪᴅᴇ ᴏғ ʏᴏᴜ, ᴀɴᴅ ɪ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴀʏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ᴍᴇ ғᴇᴇʟ ᴡʜᴇɴ ɪ’ᴍ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʏᴏᴜ.”
I love the growth between the two together, but watching Dani gain the strength and courage to stand up for herself and become the mama bear she needed to be for Bridger's sweet daughter Birdie was heartwarming. I loved all the family bonding between the Wilds, Blackwells, and Lexingtons, plus add in some of our faves from the With Me In Seattle series and it's perfection.

If you've read and loved The Wilds of Montana, then you'll definitely LOVEEE this new series, The Blackwells of Montana it has all the small town, single dad, brothers bestfriend, friends to lovers romance with a side of suspense we've come to love from Kristen Proby. Enjoy the trip back to Bitterroot Valley.

"I’ll stand beside you and in front of any danger that comes your way. I’ll fight your past because I want your future.”
Wow, this book kept me glued to my tablet because I couldn't get enough of Miles and Penny! Miles was sweet, caring, thoughtful, and so damn swoon-worthy he is 100% book boyfriend material..... the complete package!!
"Take the hurt, because without it, you will never know what real happiness feels like.”
Returning to Ember Falls for Miles and Penny's story was equal parts fun, sexy and suspenseful. These two, with their "coincidental" dates, note passing with Miles assistant, and Miles non-love of coffee but buying it just so Penny would make it and me falling head over heels in LOVEEE with this couple. Let me say once the spicy scenes started, holy smokes, they were spicing..... hot, hot, hot! The suspense had me holding my breath in anticipation, and that ending, wow, just wow!!
What a treat we got with a few surprise cameos of some or favorite Seals from Cole Security. So get ready to head back to Ember Falls. You're not going to want to miss this story!

On Loverose Lane was my first book from Samantha Young, and to say I was hooked would be an understatement. This book consumed me from the first chapter to the last and everything in between!
"Life is going to throw curveballs at you all the time. One day you’ll be up, the next down, and it’s a never-ending roller coaster of peaks and troughs. That’s life. It’s not because you’re a failure.”
Beth and Callan's relationship, past and present, was a beautiful, messy, relatable love that neither could deny no matter how much they tried. While there were hard topics and hurt to work through, they never gave up once they reunited, and the banter between these two, family and friends, was top-notch. I was equal parts laughing with the witty comments and crying with some of the seriousness through the story.
“I wanted you. I have never in my life not wanted you. I can’t even remember them. I know that makes me an utter arsehole, but the truth is, you were the first and only girl who ever got in there.”
The Captain and his Princess will have you on your knees begging for more! The journey these two traveled was PERFECTION, and the love they found once again in each other was breathtaking. So if you love sports romance, fake dating, close proximity, second chance, opposite side of the tracks, mental health rep, neighbors to lovers, then you'll definitely want to return to Dublin Street.

I've been in my cowboy romance era lately and was excited to read this book from debut author Valentina. I thoroughly enjoyed the witty banter, the group texts between the girls and the guys, and there were cute photos throughout the chapters that were perfect additions and added a little something extra to the story. Unfortunately, I did have a hard time connecting with the characters, and the story felt off at times and hard to follow. I did end up DNF at 20%.

OHMYGOSH AMY!!! 😭😭😭 what have you done to me? AHHH, Otto and Raven are EVERYTHING, absolute 100% perfection!!! I can't get enough of them, and I'm not sure what it is about this series, maybe because it's a spinoff of Redemption Hills which is a fave of mine but this one is giving them a run for their money!

Raven may be my favorite person. She's one badass female character, sassy and stronger because of what she's been through!! That woman is fierce, and I need her in my life!! Otto, oh, that man has been to hell and back, doesn't believe he deserves love, doesn't deserve Raven's love or light in his life because all the dark he's touched. Love has a way of proving you are worthy, and Otto will get more than he bargained for with Raven.

This book.....story.....characters.....was absolute PERFECTION! The banter was witty, the spice was definitely spicing, and the tension was explosive. I couldn't put this book down, yet I wanted to savor it because I didn't want it to end. Once again, Amy has written a story about love, loss, healing, and characters that speak to my heart!! This one is going to stick with me for a while! 🖤🩵

Not at all what I expected, but definitely an intriguing, keep you on the edge of your seat read! I was expecting it to be darker based on the premise of the book, yet don't let that fool you because it's very much a dark read with dark elements.
Issac and Everly met in the most unconventional way and only had the voice of each other for comfort during their darkest days. The relationship that developed between the two of them was more, so much more due to their circumstances. My heart broke for them both for all they went through and the unknown that followed, but they truly came out stronger because of it.

I know it's vague, but I can't give away all the craziness that occurred. You have to experience what these two experienced, Prepare yourself this book will have your heart racing in anticipation, speechless from what unravels and mind-blown from watching it all play out. Good luck coming out unscathed!

Well, this was my first book from Lauren, and it definitely won't be the last because I absolutely need to read the rest of the Morgan siblings' books! Colby Morgan has set the bar for swoon-worthy book boyfriend.
Colby Morgan loves his job as a firefighter, and one fateful call changes everything for him. Lydia knows love and loss all too well and wants to help a family that's going through what she's experienced, but the Morgan family changes everything for her.
"ʟᴏᴠᴇ ɪs ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴡᴀʟᴋ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴏᴏʀ ᴀɴᴅ ᴋɴᴏᴡɪɴɢ ʜᴇ ᴍɪɢʜᴛ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ʜᴏᴍᴇ ᴀɢᴀɪɴ ʙᴇᴄᴀᴜsᴇ ɪᴛ's ᴡʜᴏ ʜᴇ ɪs—ʙᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ ᴡɪʟʟɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ʜɪᴍ ᴀɴʏᴡᴀʏ.”
Colby and Lydia were giving ALL THE FEELS with their love, family, and relationship. They had to wade through so much to find that unbreakable bond, but it was worth it all in the end.
"ɪ ғᴇʟᴛ ᴀ ᴅᴀʀᴋɴᴇss ɪɴsɪᴅᴇ ᴍᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪᴋᴇs ᴏғ ᴡʜɪᴄʜ ɪ'ᴅ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ғᴇʟᴛ ʙᴇғᴏʀᴇ. ɪ ғᴇʟᴛ ʜᴏᴘᴇʟᴇss. ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇɴ sʜᴇ ᴡᴀʟᴋᴇᴅ ɪɴᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴏᴏᴍ ᴀɴᴅ sʜᴇ ᴡᴀs ʜᴏᴘᴇ ғᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴏᴘᴇʟᴇss. ʜᴇʀ ᴠᴇʀʏ ᴘʀᴇsᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴡᴀs ᴀ ᴛᴏʀᴄʜ ᴏғ ʟɪɢʜᴛ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴄʜᴀsᴇᴅ ᴀᴡᴀʏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀʀᴋɴᴇss.”
These two were explosive chemistry, swoon-worthy moments, and undeniable infinite love that you could feel through the pages of their story. If you love adorable kiddos, a hilarious loving family, and a story that will melt your heart, then prepare yourselves for the Morgan's!

Well, once again, HD Carlton has written a beautiful story that will live rent-free in my mind for quite some time. This wasn't just a love story it was a story about love......the passion, head over heels, true soul mates, take your breath away, kinda love.
“I would follow you anywhere, Genevieve. If you were standing at the edge of the earth and wanted to fall, I would only stop you long enough to take hold of your hand so I could go with you. There isn’t a life where I wouldn’t be your phantom, or a death where I wouldn’t be your reaper.”
Gigi and Ronaldo's story was a heartwrenching, beautiful journey about finding your true soul mate. Gigi had a life that she thought was what she wanted but realized that she wasn't truly living. Being a mother was what she loved and wouldn't trade it for anything, Sera was her world. John, on the other hand, that man deserved everything he got. Needless to say, I was not his biggest fan!!! Ronaldo, wow, that man was swoon-worthiness at its finest with a side of dirty talking perfection!
“Do you have any idea how hard it is to only love you in the dark when you deserve to be loved in the light?”
“Now crawl to me, mia rosa.”
Oh, this book is definitely a MUST read for those Cat & Mouse duet lovers! Being able to read more of Gigi & Ronaldo's story made my heart happy, and the journal entries.... icing on the cake! Plus, there's a little treat at the end that you don't want to miss!!! Trust me you NEED this book!!!

Well, well, we'll now we know walking red flags and unhinged runs in the family and also between close friends, apparently..... lol!! I'm so obsessed with CR Jane's Pucking Wrong series, and when I saw we were getting Walker's brother Parkers' story, I couldn't wait!!
“ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀʀᴇ ᴠɪʟʟᴀɪɴs ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀʀᴇ ʜᴇʀᴏᴇs, ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇɴ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀʀᴇ ᴍᴇɴ ᴡʜᴏ ᴀʀᴇ ɪɴ ʙᴇᴛᴡᴇᴇɴ."
I absolutely loved watching Parker and Casey's relationship develop from strangers to friends to so much more. He may have been a little eccentric in his ways to get his girl, but when these guys find their "ONE" nothing and no one will get in their way. These two were the balm for each other and their emotional scars, they traveled a bumpy road but found a beautiful journey in each other.

If you loved the Pucking Wrong series, then you'll definitely love this book, plus we get cameos from some of our favorite guys.... Lincoln, Ari, Walker, and we met some new Jace, Matty, and Cole, Parkers other brother. I'm so excited for the next book because Jace is going to give Parker a run for his money
Well, well, we'll now we know walking red flags and unhinged runs in the family and also between close friends, apparently..... lol!! I'm so obsessed with CR Jane's Pucking Wrong series, and when I saw we were getting Walker's brother Parkers' story, I couldn't wait!!

I absolutely loved watching Parker and Casey's relationship develop from strangers to friends to so much more.
