An easy-to-read, sweet story of second-chance romance. While this is the second book in the series, it isn’t necessary to read the first to understand the plot. Annie moved to Marietta after heartbreak with hopes of starting over with a B&B. Craig comes to Marietta for his cousin’s wedding and much needed rest. As the story unfolds, Annie and Craig’s chemistry builds as they figure out their feelings for each other. The characters in this book were relatable and fun.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Match Made in Montana is the second book in The Millers of Marietta series by Elsa Winckler. This was such a fun and sweet second-chance romance story. Although this book is the second book of a series, I had no trouble following the storyline. Annie Miller is a sweet and kind woman who moves to Marietta to be with her siblings and sets up a bed and breakfast after she gets her heart broken. Craig O’Sullivan is a workaholic that comes to Marietta from Portland to attend his cousin’s wedding and also gets some much-needed rest. I loved this story. Annie and Craig have great chemistry and a fun build-up. The story is written well and pretty realistic. I loved watching these two lower their guard and get to know each other. Also, lots of fun characters.

Friends to lovers, hidden feelings, relationships of convenience, all of my favourite tropes in one book! So it goes without saying that I absolutely loved this book! Even if I did get frustrated with Phoebe at times, Laurent sounds like an absolute dream!! And so do the rest of his family who I can see a number of set ups already existing for! Highly recommended!

A Match Made in Montana is the second book in The Millers of Marietta series by Elsa Winckler. This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Winckler so I really wasn’t sure of what to expect from one of her stories, but now that I have read one, I will certainly be adding her other books to my TBR list.
This is a fun, small town, second chance, contemporary romance with humour, banter, emotion, family, chemistry, spice, taking a chance on love, and finding love unexpectedly.
Even though this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone if you want. I hadn’t realised that it was the second book in the series when I snapped up a copy, and now that I have read it I will definitely be going back to read Book #1 before continuing with the rest of the series. It follows the Miller siblings who have moved to small town Marietta and the new beginnings that brings. The characters are wonderful, fully developed individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks and flaws- and who are quite endearing. The story itself is a sweet, heartfelt, and romantic- with just a sprinkle of drama to keep things interesting.
Annie Miller’s owns the new bed and breakfast in Marietta, Craig O’Sullivan is a marketing expert who is in town for a family wedding. But his meddling Aunt puts her matchmaking hat on which results in Craig helping Annie with a marketing plan for the B & B. They certainly have a great connection, but their lives are in different parts of the country- so a HEA is impossible. Right? But, the heart wants what the heart wants, so will they take a chance on love and the chance to forge a future together? This is well worth the read to find out.
A charming story…
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Elsa Winckler!

Brutal Nights (Hidden Valley Elite Book 4) by Isla Vaughn – Review by Jessica Stone

Oh man ohhhh man, I LOVE this series, I cannot get enough!!! I could rant and rave about this author and what she has done with this series and it still wouldn’t describe it.

First off, holy hell that was steamy, I thought after reading the first three books, no one could top my love for Riley and Cole, their chemistry, love story, the angsty back and forth… but man was I wrong. The chemistry between Damon and Sky is quite frankly, panty melting, this book had me in a literal chokehold. I love the direction the author went with the continuation of the series, there is still a lot of unsolved trauma seeping in for Damon from the previous books. Instead of all the drama revolving around Damon and his father, a-lot of it centered around sky and some issues with bulling from a best friend recently turned enemy. Sprinkle in a dash of family drama from sky to keep you on your feet and you have the makings of a wonderfully told story.
I cannot lie, as much as I feel like the author did them all justice I would have enjoyed more cameos from Riley and Cole or even a bit more insight as far as Phoenix and Shane go but also, I’m full of anticipation for the next couple of novels to see what lies in store for the two cousins.

I would, however, not recommend attempting to read any of the books of this series out of order, you will be thoroughly lost and sad when you realize you’ve spoiled these story’s for yourself, this author loves to leave these books as cliffhangers. But I HIGHLY recommend this series to anyone who likes enemy’s to lovers, forced proximity, alpha male, young adult type books. Grab the first one and get ready for a wild ride, because this series is fantastic.

A Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley, #1): A Small Town Fake Relationship RomanceA Toast for Laurent (Vine Valley, #1): A Small Town Fake Relationship Romance by Theresa Paolo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Toast for Laurent by Theresa Paolo is my favorite kind of second-chance romance. It pulled at my emotions but was a lot of fun with just the right amount of spice. Plus, it takes place around a winery, what wasn’t there to love????

This book had me hooked within just the first few pages. The author gave me a good, quick background on Laurent, and then boom, Phoebe entered the scene! She definitely made an impression. Even though she has been gone from his life for many years, she is still the one that got away, breaking his heart in the process.

Laurent and Phoebe were best friends at one time with the possibility of being so much more. One night the lines blurred, and she walked out the next morning taking his heart with her. Now, she needs him desperately, and she re-enters his life wanting him to keep his promise…marry her. They made a pact almost twenty years ago that if they weren’t married, they would marry each other. Laurent could never turn his back on her, and he doesn’t plan on doing that now. However, he also has to protect his heart. When he agrees to help her out, he makes one condition, she can’t fall in love with him. She thinks she can do that….right…she has had feelings for him to begin with, she just ran from them. Now, she might not be able to outrun them.

I was not prepared for the twists and turns in this book, not just the main characters, but the secondary characters. I love reading a book that has a few sub-plot points occurring simultaneously. Sometimes that doesn’t work, but it really did in this one. I adored all of Laurent’s siblings, and I even came to like Phoebe’s half-sister, Parker. I enjoyed the way in which Paolo brought both their past and their future together.

Theresa Paolo is a new author for me, but this book will definitely not be my last. I’m looking forward to other books in this particular series and discovering her others as well.

A Match Made in Montana (The Millers of Marietta, #2)A Match Made in Montana by Elsa Winckler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A heartwarming contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Annie Miller moves to Marietta to set up a B&B in the picturesque Bramble Lane, following the death of her parents. Having her brother and sister near by helps Annie to heal and also to forget her ex fiancé, who left her just weeks before their wedding. Meanwhile, workaholic marketing whiz Craig O’Sullivan from Portland is on a two week vacation in Marietta to see his cousin get married. When his Aunt Janice asks him to help Annie market her B&B he didn’t expect to fall in love! However, with Craig living and working in Portland and Annie’s life being in Marietta, the couple have to decide whether their developing relationship is forever or not. The chemistry between Annie and Craig comes across in the narrative and I felt engaged with the likeable and relatable couple, hoping they would get their HEA. The setting was brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative and the storyline had me hooked throughout. I look forward to returning to Marietta soon!

Brutal Nights (Hidden Valley Elite #4)Brutal Nights by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ok so Brutal Nights was everything I hoped it would be and more! Talk about angst in this book, it had it in bucket loads! I was fortunate enough that I didn’t have to wait after that cliff-hanger of the previous book and it was straight back into the action in Brutal Nights.
I really did feel for Sky, she definitely found herself caught up in the middle of something she really didn’t want to be in and all because she is such good friend and wanted to help Gia out on her quest for her senior year and unfortunately chemistry got in the way and thing didn’t go quite as planned!
This book was so easy to read and I honestly could not put it down, I was completely caught up in Sky and Damon’s story.
Brutal Days should be read prior to reading Brutal Nights – both stories were amazing read and I would highly recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Craig and Annie, two different people, with completely different lifestyles on different paths, but they have one thing in common, neither of them ever want to get married. This is a story of what happens when those two paths merge. What happens when opposites attract?
Annie wants to start anew and opens a bed and breakfast in a new town, but how will she get the customers to keep them afloat. Craig is all business, all the time, and he knows the ins and outs of marketing. When he comes to Marietta for a wedding, these two paths merge as they lean on each other for more than just business. Was it fate? Will these two different people fit together? Will they have a change of heart when it comes to marriage? Read it and find out.
This was a very enjoyable book. It is one that you just fall into and feel like you are a part of it all. Like the characters are your friends and you are with them through it all. I definitely recommend this book. The only reason I only gave 4 stars is because I am very stingy with 5 stars and save them for very few books that are all time favorites.

This book is a quick and easy to read romance story that focused on relatable and likeable characters. I thought Annie and Craig had such a great connection. It was sweet and entertaining watching them get to know each other and figure out their feelings for the other.
This is a new author to me and I enjoyed the pace the added to the book. It was easy to connect with and perfect or passing away a lazy afternoon. The book hit the right balance between fun and romantic, which for me also matched the characters and their personalities. This was a thoroughly enjoyable book and I am looking forward to discovering more of this author.

I enjoyed reading this romance story. This is still a newer author for me which I enjoyed their writing style and how the story was brought to life with their attention to details. I found this book to be well written and hard to put down. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world from the start. They are connectable, strong, supportive characters that made the story easy to read. I enjoyed watching their growth as well as their chemistry that had me coming back for more. This is a story about Craig and Annie. Annie has a B&B that Craig helps market her business. Will they find more in common than a business deal? They are great characters that add so much to the story. I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When i read the synopsis of this I was so excited to follow Annie in her journey of running her B&B in the mountains of Montana. I was a little disappointed in this book as a lot of the dialogue was corny to me and Annie seemed to say things out loud that most people would keep to themselves and I just did not enjoy that. It made me physically cringe at points. She was very open with her feelings of physical attraction to Craig but in a childish way. And her constantly calling him a hot sexy Irishman annoyed me to no end. The plot was okay and I enjoyed some of the chemistry between them but this was cheesy to me. Craig’s character was easier for me to handle and I appreciated him overall. I think I would have enjoyed this more had I read the first book because I felt confused at the connections and relationships between the other people in this book.

One small town.
One broken heart. One impulsive decision. One new start. One Marketing whiz.
A meddling Aunt. A wedding. A two-week vacation. A bed-and-breakfast.
A Match Made in Montana is the second book in The Millers of Marietta series. This series is about the Miller siblings so make sure you read the books in order as these wonderful characters cross over.
This second chance romance story fun and easy to read. This heart-warming tale is well written and is filled with mixed emotions, taking chances, laughter, family, tears, love, lots of chemistry with spicy undertones.
With just the right pace, some tension, and realistic characters that you can’t help but like it is easy to become invested.
Annie is from the big city, but the impulsive decision is the best she has made. A small town with family is just the place to heal.
Craig’s is determined to help but he sees so much more than a marketing campaign. The only problem is their lives are worlds apart.
With past hurt between them will they open themselves up and take a chance to the possibility of love.
This delightful story leaves you eager to read more of the series.

3.5 stars for this read.

I enjoyed this story but if I hear “beading” or “throbbing” again anytime soon, I might cry. It was overdone. I found Annie to be a very likeable character and her determination to get her B&B up and going is commendable. I also found Craig to be likeable but I like Hunter even more.

This story deals with lost love situations but not all love is romantic love. The comparisons and contrasts of the relationships in story are what really drew me in and kept me reading. Choices made based on past experiences with love influence what Annie and Craig think of their futures.

Overall, an enjoyable book. I did not realize that this was part of a series. It can be read as a standalone without missing out but I am curious to know more about Ted. I’m not sure if he’s in the first book or not.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Millers of Marietta series. The fact that I dind’t realise until half way through the book that this was likely not the first goes to show that this can be read as a standalone. I will be going back to read the first book though. There is background that is missed but not reading the first book for example the previous couple’s story but overall, this doen’t impact the current story line as all vital information is given.

This has quickly become one of my favourite romances. It’s fun, easy to read and sweet. I enjoyed the humour from page 1, it was brilliant. Annie and Craig are perfect. I love them! They’re fun characters and relatable. Annie was my favourite by far. Her comments and actions are unintentionally funny and she reminds me of a couple of friends in that way.

The author’s writing is descriptive without being too much and simple without being patronising. It’s easy to follow and a great read for when I was feeling down.

I loved this book and look forward to discovering more from this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Match Made in Montana is Book Two in The Millers of Marietta series. Although it is part of a series it can easily be read as a standalone. The story centers around the characters of Annie and Craig who initially attempt to deny the attraction they both felt when they first met.

Annie is getting over her fiancée calling off their wedding with only weeks to go until they were to wed. Also grieving the loss of her parents, she needs a change of scenery and moves to Marietta where she uses her inheritance to open a B&B on Bramble Lane. Unfortunately, she has yet to have many customers booking rooms and business is slow. Craig is a genius at marketing who just happens to be in town on a two-week vacation for his cousin’s wedding. His Aunt Janice decides that it would be a good idea if he used his marketing skills to help Annie bring customers to her B&B. Neither Annie nor Craig are looking for a relationship due to bad past experiences, so they choose to make the most of their two weeks together and enjoy each other’s company. When they realize they have feelings for each other can they still part ways after the two weeks is up? Or does fate have more in store for them?

This was a beautifully written story with a believable storyline, lovable characters, and a great setting. The characters of Annie and Craig were well suited for each other, and I found myself cheering them on to be together. Both Annie and Craig were carrying around baggage from their previous relationships that were preventing them from seeing themselves fall in love with anyone in the near future. Yet, when they first met months prior to Craig coming to Marietta for a vacation neither had been able to stop thinking about the other. Each tried to deny their feelings, but fate had other plans. Annie and Craig must work through their emotional baggage and try to leave their past behind. This book had love, passion, chemistry, romance, and a feel-good vibe that leaves you ready to read the next book in this series.

Brutal Nights is the continuation of Brutal Days. I love how Brutal Nights picks up right where the previous book left off. The main character’s development does grow as the story goes on.

Brutal Nights (Hidden Valley Elite #4)Brutal Nights by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this book! This is the 4th book in the Hidden Valley Elite Series, but it is a part of Damon and Skylar’s duet, so you technically don’t need to read books 1 & 2, but I recommend it as they interconnect!

The connection and energy between Damon and Skylar is off the charts. I think this second part of the duet is better than the first, but there is less of the bully aspect in part two. Skylar and Damon have just been discovered, and everyone is pissed. Especially Gia. So what will they do? Confess their attraction? Absolutely not, because why on earth would they do something like that? HAHA.

I am heads over heels for Sky. She is an AMAZING person, and friend. My heart absolutely breaks for her in every situation. She gets the short end of the stick every time it seems.
Damon grows A LOT in this book, and it is so beautiful and mesmerizing to read as it unfolds in front of you. You get to see deep into both of their minds, and in the end, they both have to ask their selves, what do they truly want? Not only do Damon and Sky have to deal with what they have done behind closed doors, Sky also is battling a horrible situation with her father, that threatens everything in Skys life.

Will their true feelings come to light? If they do, does it even matter or have things gone too far past repair? Will Damon or ANYONE be able to protect Sky from her father? How will this end? In love… or in possible death? Will Damon and Sky stand up for what they truly want, or will they let everyone else’s feelings and wants to dictate their future?

I highly recommend this book, duet, and entire series! It is a show stopper!
There is plenty of drama, spice, angst, and also pure love.

Elsa has been reading love stories for as long as she can remember and when she ‘met’ the classic authors like Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Henry James The Brontë sisters, etc. during her Honors studies, she was hooked for life.

She married her college boyfriend and they are fortunate to live in the picturesque little seaside village of Betty’s Bay, South Africa.

She adores writing kissing books with strong, beautiful, feisty, independent and headstrong heroines and dashing Alpha heroes who loves fiercely and protects the ones they love. Her stories typically incorporate the family background of the characters to better understand where they come from and who they are when we meet them in the story.

Brutal Nights (Hidden Valley Elite #4)Brutal Nights by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isla just gives us such an incredible story every time. We are transported to a world with her words, where the emotions are Hugh, the tension could be cut with a knife, and we get sucked further and further in. This series is shaping up to be a new fave of mine. It’s so good. I could drown in angsty love and this give us that and then some!!! Cannot wait to read the others in the series!

Oh my goodness I’m about to say take me cowboy 🤠 loving the cover ! I know I’m so easy to please 🤣❣️📚but I’m weak when it comes to cover art 😍😉

It’s soooooo good to be back in Bluestone ❣️

Ace , an injured marine needs to find peace and quiet , a place where he can heal his body , mind and soul , he rents a cabin on Ivy’s land and soon enough he’s hands on in more ways than one 😉

Ivy’s grandparents passed on and left her their ranch and while she’s no wallflower she needs more than money to run the ranch , she works hard and not a scared hair on that head of hers but we all need a little help even our darling Ivy ….

Ivy and Ace are each others healing balms and watching them together was a gift and yes I cried , hard I’m not even going to try and lie but it’s a beautiful story and worth every tear❣️📚

See you soon Bluestone , you’ve been good to my soul 😍

Brutal Nights (Hidden Valley Elite #4)Brutal Nights by Isla Vaughn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brutal Nights picks up exactly where Brutal Days ends- so do not read it as a stand alone. Things have turned into quite a mess for Skylar and Damon. Neither was expecting things to go this way, but such is life. This book, like the others in the series, are a good mix of suspense and romance, with a bit of comedy and typical teenage drama. I did not want to put it down, and look forward to the rest of the series. The book alternates POV between Damon and Sky. I like that it continues to tie in the characters and story line from the previous books. The ending is a perfect happy ending for the characters involved, after a peak of action. Highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys YA romance.

Love Tools (Bluestone Series, #1)Love Tools by Isobel Reed
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my gosh I’m just loving this cover !!!! The dedication made me chuckle and think of my peeps when I’m reading because I’m forever sharing ❣️📚😉

Lilly inherits a hardware store from her estranged father , there’s an apartment above so her home is also sorted but is this English rose going to survive Montana !? 😉

“ Malbro man “ aka Jake and Lilly ( sweetheart ) get off to a rocky start but entertaining I must add but having said that I see the attraction small town living will have as opposed to city living and I’d like to quote a little bit of perfection “She wasn’t completely sure why , but she knew in her heart that Bluestone was where she needed to be “

Lilly makes friends with Sam and I just adore her I wouldn’t mind having her as my friend ❣️

Sam is Jakes’s sister so when Lilly gets invited to the weekly barbecue their paths cross again and let’s just say there are more sparks than in the fire 😉🫶🏼

I loved the people of Bluestone and Lilly and Jake kept me on my toes , we laughed and we cried and we had the most beautiful time together ❣️thank you guys for letting me part of you , see you soon 🥰

Lilly’s mom grated my nerves a bit

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

How far does a gal go to make her best friend’s supposed dream come true in high school… when it’s based on all the things, she claimed she was against prior to? And what happens when that gal happens to blur the lines because of the “it” guy?

Skylar’s world becomes nothing but chaos when the best friend learns just how far she went to help make her the “it” girl. And Damon stays along for the ride.

Through mean girls, life lessons, growing pains and growing up…Damon and Skylar evolve and then a ghost from the past appears. She grounds him as he helps her spread her wings a bit.

Of course, we have appearances from our favorite secondary characters, and I can’t wait for what’s coming next…but then I remember that this series will come to an end, and we’ve got to wonder what comes next.
