IMMEDIATELY YES. I knew I liked Wyatt from what I got in Cash but I didn't know just how much I was going to LOVE him!

Wyatt and Sally go from best friends to lovers in this small town romance. Sally is back in Hartsville after completing her veterinary residency at Ithaca University and she just accepted what she believes in the job of her dreams. Meanwhile, Wyatt recently became the foreman of Lucky River Ranch which means a lot more responsibility on the farm. With Sally leaving in December, Sally and Wyatt are forced to face their feelings and open up about what they really want. But will this come at a price?

Jessica just keeps giving us swooooon worthy men and romances. Wyatt and Sally's connection and friendship/relationship was so heartwarming and beautiful. The care and compassion they both had for each other spoke VOLUMES and literally had me giggling and kicking my feet. I absolutely loved getting a behind the curtain view of Sally's veterinary work as well as Wyatt's farm work. It makes the characters feel sooo real and relatable and made it that much easier to connect with them.

Lucky River Ranch is continuing to be my favorite country romance series. Definitely recommend and I cannot WAIT for Sawyer's story. single dad!? Yes please.

This was such a cute rom com with a sci-fi/supernatural and mafia twist!

Hannah and the Hitman follows our fave, small town, spicy book loving librarian Hannah who is stuck between two sketchy men on her flight home from a book event. When the handsome Jack forces the goons to play musical chairs so he is next to Hannah, he surprises her by reading her latest smutty book over her shoulder. Hannah shares her deepest desires with Jack and that is enough for him to become thoroughly obsessed with Hannah and wanting to make her his. The only problem... she doesn't know he's a hitman. 

I adored this book. There is just something I absolutely love about reading characters who love to read. Hannah's family is absolutely crazy and unsupportive of her reading career/dream. She truly needed someone like Jack to come into her life to uplift her and allow her to be herself. Jack needed Hannah to realize there is more to life than just being a hitman. 

Definitely recommend especially if you're looking for a fun (and smutty) palette cleanser! 

Thank you to Valentine PR and Vanessa Vale for the ARC! 🖤
