The Reluctant Suitor (The Studs of Clear Creek County) by Stacy-Deanne

The Reluctant Suitor is a BWWM Contemporary Western Romance in The Studs of Clear Creek County Series . I’m a huge fan of Historical Romance and this definitely checked the boxes. This authors style of writing and attention to detail along with fully developed characters make for a epic story. This author sheds light on topics that may be otherwise difficult for some. This story shows us how Caucasian and African American relationships are frowned upon. Get ready to be taken on quite the emotional journey in this forbidden lover’s story. It’s a short yet fast paced story that will leave you wanting more. How far are you willing to fight for happiness and what is most important to you ? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

I have read a few books by this author and she always blows my mind on how she writes. This is the third book of the very addictive series Off the Record. You have to read these in order or you will get lost. I love a good rocker romance but this story exceeded all my expectations. I could not put this book down until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this amazing book.

He does the one thing to protect himself is run. Spook leaves his band and girl all behind him. Now he is getting by life on his own until his playboy band mate Xane comes to get him back. Will Spook get rid of all his demons and come back or is the past too hard to let go?

Oh my heart 💜 😢
This book deals with the heartbreaking life event of saying goodbye to a beloved pet. It was so well and sensitively written. It’s a very emotional time losing a pet and it can be difficult to find the words and this story would be a great way to broach the subject with young children and to help explain the process and get the discussion started. A wonderful addition to any home or classroom library. Highly recommend.

The hate turns to passion as they can no longer fight their attraction. When everyone returns her father decides to send her to her aunt’s home and she asks Theo, who is supposed to be her best friend but secretly in love with her, to pass the message along to his brother, but he conveniently forgets. Five long years have passed, and she is now back at the King estate. The have to potential to be together and happy but there is someone that stands in the way.

Sometimes when you dream, it takes a while for it to become a reality. I have wanted to write books since I was a little girl and fell in love with my hometown library. I read books at school, at home, in bed, and even in the bathtub. I just couldn’t get enough of faraway places, brave heroes and heroines, and the experience of getting lost in a new and amazing adventure in each book. Through the years, I became the owner of a preschool, a public librarian, a school librarian, and a children’s yoga teacher but no matter what I did I shared stories with children. Finally, at age 62, I published my first book but I know it won’t be my last.

My first book by this author so I wasn’t sure what to expect but I did enjoy this book! I love a good crime thriller! It was full of mystery and just kept me turning the pages to see what happens next. James Sheldon has had some tragedies happen in his life and he went down a dark path. Until he wins the lottery and becomes Mr. Lucky…or so he thinks. His story is heartbreaking and so devastating..I couldn’t imagine. Had a great emotional pull on me. I’ll be looking more at this authors work because I was impressed with this.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

Oscar and Emmy Lose a Friend by Terri Sabol is a poignant story about dealing with the loss of a furry friend and making difficult choices. Covering topics such as rescue pets, stray animals, end of life decisions, euthanasia, crossing the rainbow bridge, saying goodbye, family, friendship, compassion, loss, and emotion- the story comes with really cute illustrations that help to build and guide the storyline.
It’s a sad story but with an important message for all ages. Having lost several furever friends and furever family members, the details in this book hit close to home. It’s never easy to say goodbye- and this book helps explain things in an educational but understanding way.
The story is told through Oscar and Emmy, who are cat siblings, their human family, and their stray cat friend Shadow, whose health has been on the decline of late. What happens when the family take Shadow to the Vet? Some decisions are extremely important, but not the easiest to make. This story helps to explain why.

This was a delightful, short, and sweet read! I fell in love with the characters quickly, which was important for such a quick read and I was invested in their story.

Melinda begins working for Derek, who severely underestimates her but quickly finds her irresistible. Their chemistry comes off the page quickly and keeps the reader engaged. The author has an inviting writing style that draws the reader in, and again, the likable characters made this one for me! Pick it up, you can read it in one sitting and won’t regret it!

I instantly fell in love with this story! The adventures took me back to my childhood when anything was possible and I was on the edge of my seat for each of Russell’s adventures! What would happen and how would he get through this one?! I particularly loved the historical aspect of each adventure and also the family sub-plot. I may have yelled at a couple of characters, but that’s a sign of an engaging story in my book! I can’t wait to read more in this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Granting Katelyn is Book #2 in the Sweet Valley Series and while this book can be read as a standalone I highly recommend reading this series in order as this series is fantastic for any romance lover like me. This story of Katelyn and Grant gave me drama, age gap (which I LOVE), heartbreak, healing, romance and a roller coaster of emotions with definite ups and downs. This was a great story.

Katelyn Sullivan has a love for helping horses as a equine therapist and is very good at what she does. She is tough as nails, no nonsense and not afraid to back down……she is given a chance to help a very an injured horse with recovery due to an accident…..but butting heads with Grant Tennyson is not on her agenda. Grant Tennyson is grumpy, grouchy and overall comes across rude. He is under a lot of pressure from his father, Ian, to make sure their farm is run smoothly and also making sure that Katelyn does her job to help with Hugh’s recovery. As the layers are slowly peeled away when Katelyn and Grant get to know each other, the spark comes from within…but Grant knows he should not have any feelings toward Katelyn as his father wants only the best for Grant, including a wife. What happens when the matters of the heart comes to blows with family obligations that are just unreasonable from a high powered father like Ian Tennyson.

This is a great story. I highly recommend and many parts really pulled at my heart strings, especially Grant’s history and back story. The author does such a great job on storytelling as this book was very hard to put down. Looking forward to Laney’s story next!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This second book to the Vaccaro family was just as good as the first one! Focusing on Luca and Valenzia this time around the two are like fire and ice! Valenzia is a little sheltered in this story not really knowing what her parents are involved in, but still a little spitfire. She no doubt doesn’t let Luca walk all over and she pushes back when he’s done something that she doesn’t like. Valenzia is someone Luca was not ready for. He wants to destroy the Vaccaro family for what they did to his dad, but he was not expecting Valenzia. The story was well written and progressed at a pretty decent pace and didn’t feel like it was dragging on. I love the world that this author has created and I hope she makes more in this series!

Oscar and Emmy Lose a Friend is a very touching story that helps younger kids learn about having to put a pet to sleep. This story takes you through the whole process of finding out whether a pet is ill to the final stages if the pet can’t get better. With clear language and beautifully drawn illustrations, this can help many families better explain things to younger children. The author has done a wonderful job writing on such a tough subject! I’m glad I picked this book up as we have a sick pet currently and though we hope to avoid putting it to sleep, this will help my family if we have to face that tough choice. For anyone having to go through this hard life decision, this is definitely a book you want to have.

Softest Touch

This was a sweet and fairly fast paced love story. But it just shows it could happen at any time to anyone, especially when they least expect it.

Derek has a pretty good life as a fashion designer but feels like something is missing so he takes a sabbatical to come back to the business and his new assistant Melinda who refuses to take any of his attitude.

Melinda has had her share of heartbreak and is looking to finding a purpose. Derek was so much more than hlshe could have expected.

I really liked all of the characters especially Sissi and Grandma. I have a soft spot for animals and special people and they won me over pretty quick.

Cruel KingCruel King by K.M. Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Intensity that could set you ablaze. So, this is the first book I have read by the talented K.M. Scott and oh was it a great first read. Twists and turns to keep you guessing as well as reality based making the moments that are already heavily emotional make you feel what they feel. Early on Matthias’ cruel words to Ava had me crying along with her. Dual perspective of Ava and Matthias.
Ava is the daughter of the King family’s estate manager. Matthias is the eldest son and heir apparent of the King fortune. Early into the story the similarities while different are prevalent in the different household dynamics. Both have lost their mothers, both are treated differently than their siblings, and both have been harboring feelings they didn’t release went soul deep. One fateful blizzard brings everything to the forefront, no more hiding behind warnings from their fathers. Matthias dreamed of Ava for years, but when finally given a moment alone with her his cruelty that he used as armor cracks, and he gives into the dreams if only for a short time. Ava is accepted by all the King family except the eldest son, Matthias, who has always been cruel to her for no reason she can think of. After he makes her cry repeatedly in the span of just a few short hours she snaps and confronts him demanding he explain why he hates her so much. In a moment of desire, he drops the façade, ignores the warnings, and finally kisses her and more. Everything feels right, like they were made for each other. No sooner is the truth finally revealed and she is forced to move away to her aunts. Five years and neither of them can forget that blizzard and what happened but now things are different.
Can they find their way back to each other? Will Theo take a stand that forces Ava to make a choice? I love how the author tells the reader up front that the story is based but that she doesn’t deal with the “protection” aspect of the characters physical moments, I agree sometimes it takes away from a heated moment by breaking it down too much with reality. The scenery is described perfectly especially when it comes to the reality of snow and how its beauty disappears when it’s in dirty piles cluttering the roads as it slowly melts. Now, the characters, my oh my they were fascinating, the complexing of each character helps build the reality of the moments and the intensity of the twists and turns the characters had to overcome to reach the end. After this I truly hope the author decides to turn this into a series, it would be interesting to see into the lives of the other four King brothers and what secrets they hold within.

Cruel KingCruel King by K.M. Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cruel King had a super enticing premise that sounded like such a fun read. I was a little under prepared on the fact that I would feel like I did about it. Matthias and Ava, neighbors, man from money, not rich female, her father is employed by his father, maybe enemies, but maybe not, and his brother is her best friend although in the future she’s supposed to be his brothers wife, until he opens his mouth about those snowy few days five years ago. I devoured this book. It was well written, flowed smoothly, and kept me interested. There did seem to be a lot of background throughout almost like the characters hemmed and hawed a lot rather than just speaking up and owning how they felt, which made some scenes feel a little drug out. Overall I really enjoyed the grumpy Matthias and bubbly Ava’s story, a little sad about how the author did Matthias’ brother but I was so glad when they started opening up to each other again and the story picked back up.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From the moment I started reading, I couldn’t put this book down! I felt so connected to Claire! Mentally, she is your typical teenager but she has been given some unfortunate choices. After her father leaving and her mother having an unplanned pregnancy, Claire has been “babysitting” her baby brother Harry during the summer months as her mother has been incapable of doing so. Through unfortunate circumstances, her mother ends up hospitalized and in the midst of it all, her uncle gets involved and tries to help Claire in continuing her life as planned of experiencing her senior year of high school and money for college but only if Harry is put up for adoption. Such a heartbreaking decision to make at such a young age. Claire has such a good heart and is only doing what she thinks needs to be done. Very thought provoking!
