My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I loved this story of Ace and Ivy. Heaven knows, these two have issues to overcome. Being at risk of losing her ranch, Ace comes to her rescue. They kept me laughing and feeling all the emotions as they worked through their relationship. These two try so hard to keep things professional as they fake a relationship to keep the good ole’ boys studding their horses at her ranch. Yeah, the sparks flew from the moment they met. Loved the characters. It was so great to see characters like Jake/Lila and Brady/Alice from the previous books appear. Teddy/Summer made an appearance, I can’t wait for more of their story in the next book. This story has so much love, humor and romance. It’s a feel good with a second chance feel. Ivy is a spit-fire of her own that Jake is going to wrangle, if it’s the last thing he does. This is a fantastic and quick read.

Fake it till you make it, that’s what they say.

And that’s what Ivy was doing. She’d do anything to save her ranch. Anything. Including pretending to be engaged to a handsome, retired Marine to placate her sexist clients. Not that draping herself over Ace was a hardship. It wasn’t. She just wished he could get over his hero complex and stop trying to save her. There were far better ways they could be spending their time.

Sweet, shy, and babbling Ivy had gotten so far under Ace’s skin, he knew he was in trouble. Faking a relationship may have been his idea but he knew deep down he didn’t stand a chance with her in real life. Medically discharged from the military, it wasn’t just internal battle scars he’d been left with, he also had some big ugly ones on his face too. If he couldn’t even look himself in the mirror, no one else ever would be able to either. Especially not the most beautiful woman he’d ever laid eyes on.

Can these two wounded souls turn their fake relationship into a real one?

What a lovely small town romance, with added dashes of sisters’ friend angst, and bad boy older brother vibes.<br />Lily moves from London to Bluestone after the death of her father. Her aim; to be happy, find some answers and run the hardware store that her father left her.<br />The added family issues bring this book more into reality than some romantic fiction, what a mother and father will do after a relationship breakdown, and how they protect the children, which can be seen in the emotional issues that Lily (and Jake) have to deal with later in life. <br />Jake knew Lily’s dad, and wants to help her as much as he can to come to terms with the man she never knew, he finds himself wanting to get to know her too.<br />Emotions roll up and down as this pair struggles to come to know themselves, and each other, and Lily struggles to get the business running whilst coming to grips with the past. <br />A great read that I hope will be the first of many by this author.<br />

I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful book filled great characters! Lily has a history of always picking the wrong men and Jake has always kept things very casual having never been in love before. They are an interesting combination and reading them sort through their feelings was totally enjoyable! My heart broke for Lily when she found out about her mothers lies, not that I will say any more about that because I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone still to read the book yet. This is the first book in this series and I definitely am looking forward to reading many more!

This is a beautiful novel that goes from London to the wilds of Montana. This is a tale of family and romance, heartbreak and heartache. A woman seeking both her own roots and a place she can belong, finds far more than she could have hoped for. She leaves everything she’s ever known behind in London and moves to Montana to take over the Hardware store left to her by a father she doesn’t remember. Could this small town in nowhere Montana be what she’s looking for and even better, needs?
A well written novel with beautiful world building and characters that make you feel like they’re sitting right beside you. A believable story that makes you want to throw caution to the wind and run away to Montana yourself.

So did reopening her estranged father’s hardware store. But now she isn’t so sure. She meets Jake at a store that she got from her father. She likes Jake and doesn’t know what to next. You have to read the rest of book to see what happens. I can’t wait read more from this author.

When Lily moves to Montana from London to take over her father’s store after he has passed, the first person she meets is Jake. These two seem to have an undeniable chemistry but also seem to push all the buttons from the past. Can she move past her fears that he will abandon her? Can he prove to her that she is all he wants? I can’t wait for the next book in this series. I just want to visit Bluestone again and again.

Love Tools (Bluestone Series #1) by Isobel Reed

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Love Tools is an amazing first read. The author has a way with the words written. I finished this within an hour so that should say something. This is the first book in the Bluestone Series.

Jake goes in to check on the store his friend owned when he was alive. He runs into someone new to him. He’s shocked to learn that his friend was a dad and his daughter is hot. The quote I chose for Jake is: “Um, he was a good guy. Quiet. Liked to keep himself to himself, but he had a good heart.”

Lily moved to where her dad lived to find out who he was. She didn’t expect to run into someone on her first day in town. Montana does their guys right. She doesn’t know how to react to him. The quote I chose for Lily is: “You have a dad, Ali, a real dad. I have a stepdad and a dead biological father who left and never said why. If you were me, wouldn’t you want answers?”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This novel follows the story of Lily, on her quest for the truth of her past and new beginnings. After she learns of her father’s passing, she learns that she has inherited his tool store in Bluestone County, Montana. Even though she has no clue about selling tools or business, a new beginning from her London upbringing sounds quite appealing. She ends up connecting with Jake and his sister, Sam, who own a nearby Dude Ranch. Sam invites her to their ranch to learn firsthand tools to help her with her new business endeavor while Jake starts developing an attraction towards Lily. After Lily’s many failed relationships, she seems a bit hesitant on Jake’s advances and shies away from any of his attempts.
Reed has such an immediate way of writing to enthrall her readers into this great story. It is such an enjoyable and quick read that readers can fall in love with the characters and story line presented. When it comes to romance, attraction comes into play when there is something eager to be known about those you are attracted to.

When Lily’s dad died and left her his hardware store in Bluestone County it could have come at a better time. Lily didn’t have any regrets about leaving London for Bluestone. However, Lily had no clue how to run a hardware store she needed to make it herself. She needed to find herself and find the answers as to why her dad had left. The last thing Lily needed was to fall in love with a local cowboy, let alone her new best friend’s brother.
Jake was the local ranch owner. Hot, steamy, and a bad idea. Jake had a bad reputation with the ladies and her best friend’s brother. But Jake might actually have the answers to some of her questions about her dad. Jake’s past will come back to haunt him causing Lily to run.
This was a great read. I truly enjoyed this read. The big city girl falls for the country cowboy, what better storyline! I can’t wait to read the next book in this set!

Miserably unhappy, Lilly, a young lady from London, moves to the states to takeover a tool shop that was left to her after a father she barely knew passed away. In a search to connect and discover more about her father she discovered Jake who is more than willing to give her the answers she seeks. Jake, a playboy cowboy who runs a ranch with his sister doesn’t quite know if he’s experiencing love for the first time or if what he is feeling is something else. Love Tools was a quick, sweet, fun romance that I was delighted to read. I read it in about two days only stopping because of adult responsibilities and I didn’t have a choice. I definitely didn’t want to put it down. It looks like this might be a series and I would be interested in reading more by this author.

Love Tools is a romance story about a lost girl, Lily,  from London who tries to rediscover herself in Bluestone County, USA. Lily’s estranged father left her his hardware store to run. Lily wasn’t happy in London lately so the change came at a good time. As she is trying to adjust to her new life in a small town, she runs into a gorgeous, cocky cowboy named Jake. There is an instant banter that stirs, but there is no denying the attraction they have for each other. They are forced to become closer when she befriends his sister. However, Jake has a reputation of a playboy who can’t commit so is warned to stay away. Due to her never running a business, she runs into a little bit of trouble and Jale offers to help. This is the start of a brewing romance. However, can the two of them figure out their own baggage to appreciate the connection they have found?

I enjoyed this romance novel. Both characters were very loveable. They had great banter and chemistry. She was portrayed as a strong independent woman trying to find her way, while Jake was the cowboy gentleman with an edge. The build of the romance seemed natural, not rushed, and really developed on the page. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

I really enjoyed this romance story. The author does an amazing job with the characters and I really enjoyed how at the start Lily and Jake seemed to hate each other but the teasing and barbs they threw at each other was all building up to an attraction that neither of them could deny.

Lily changed her whole life,leaving her family behind to take over a tool shop her father left her when he passed. She has nothing to lose, she hates her job and her dating life is non existent as she always attracts the wrong guys.
What she doesn’t expect is to meet a guy and not just any guy. Jake is a guy with so many red flags she should run in the opposite direction screaming.

Jake has never had a serious relationship. He’s known as a bit of a ladies man and he’s happy with that. Until he meets Lily. He’s never felt about a woman the way he does about Lily but how can he prove to her that he is the man for her and not the womaniser she thinks him to be.

This is a slow burn romance where the attraction is there but both Lily and Jake need to work through their past relationships and pains to be able to full let the other person in. Their connection is fun to read as they constantly push and pull each other.

Lily needed a fresh start after she became stuck in a rut in London. Her father’s passing and leaving her a business was her perfect excuse to start over. With so much on her plate between her move, her mother, and starting a store, she never bargained for a man like Jake. The love story between the two kept me engaged and wanting to know more about their lives with and without each other. Most women want to find a man like Jake who will turn his life around just to be with her. I’m so excited to see the rest of what Isobel has in store for us in upcoming books.

Jake and Lily are both trying to find their way and making amends with their troubled pasts.

Lily is not going anywhere in her miserable life in London. Her estranged father left her a little hardware shop in Bluestone, Montana. Lily wants to make the store successful and learn more about her deceased father.
Jake is a local cowboy who has always said ‘no’ to love. He’s content with life on the ranch.

Love Tools is an emotional roller coaster of romance, heartbreak, and drama in a rural romance. I loved both Jake and Lily. This story is an easy read with great characters.

I am not always big fan of romances but when I do indulge, I love a small town story. This book checked off all the boxes with it’s witty banter and fast paced storyline. I really like the friendly foundation that the two main characters laid down. There was more to this story than cute, romantic tropes including an element of family complexities. In addition to really enjoying both the main female and male characters, I enjoyed the supporting characters as well. No one came off we flat or dull, everyone had fun personalities that felt as though you could know them personally.

A fun romance between a gal from London and a guy in a small Montana town.

Lily has just moved in to the hardware store (with an apartment on the 2nd floor she inherited from her estranged father. The first person she meets is Jake, a friend of Lily’s father.

From the start when Lily and Jake meet and things go a bit askew. But soon enough, each of them realizes that the other is different from past boyfriends or girlfriends. Of course it takes time because there are other things to consider – Sam, Lily’s only friend who happens to be Jake’s sister.

I had fun reading this book. The author did a wonderful job keeping the story going which kept me interested in reading more. The characters were easy to connect with and I could feel the pain and frustration Lily had about her father’s abandonment and also surprise in finding out he left the hardware store to her.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such a cute fun read that mentioned topics that other romance books have not mentioned before, giving it a new meaning and something, that people can enjoy. The main character, Lily, has just been told that her father has died, and he left her a tool shop in his will on the other side of the world. Needing to escape the area she is living, due to not liking the area/people she is surrounded by, she packs up her things and moves looking for a fresh start. Here in this small town, she meets friends and develops a love interest named Jake. Both of these characters grow and learn through instances that surround them that they both have in common, a parent leaving and not returning due to different circumstances. While this was a slow burn read w/o explicit scenes, I found myself not able to put this book down as I had to know what was to happen next! I cannot wait to read the second book in the series when it comes out as her sister is the main character and was a straight up SPIT FIRE in this one. I have no doubt that it will be just as good if not better than this one!
