Faultless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls Book 1) by KG Fletcher – Review by Vanessa Watts

Faultless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #1)Faultless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the perfect time of year for a read like this. Who doesn’t love a second chance romance plus add a Christmas tree farm that make it perfect reading on a cool night.

Teddy ends up getting entangled with the law and serving a prison sentence that eventually leads to his parole and essentially working on his Christmas tree farm at his family home as a condition of that parole. Meanwhile, Robyn, the girl he loved, dropped law school when realizing that justice is not always served to the guilty. Teddy believes him and Robyn are over until a happenstance chance when he walks into her florist shop and sparks still fly between the two. Can their love survive when outside forces seem to want to pull them apart? Will the past forever be a part of their relationship or can they truly get their happily ever after?

This is a wonderful romance book that has all the chemistry and steamy scenes you could hope for. Seriously grab this book, with a blanket, drinking some warm drink and that is the perfect setting to jump into someone else’s world.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tenley is the host of a podcast on practical adult relationships, whose opinion is that love doesn’t conquer all, and people should be practical and realistic about life. Teagan is the Love Guru, and he (obviously) believes in love. A random comment on a radio show makes Tenley go to Hawaii to prove that she is right.

Tenley and Teagan’s banter is funny, and they have great chemistry. The pace of the story is good and I was pulled into their story. The “something happens so one person refuses to talk to the other” trope isn’t my favourite but it wasn’t terribly done and made sense for the character. I haven’t read Susan Renee’s other books, but it was clear that the supporting characters are cameos from other books, and it makes me want to go read their stories.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is my first read by Susan Renee. I enjoyed the easy read that not only kept me laughing, but also wanting to shake some sense into the characters at times. The characters are well developed and easy to like and relate to.

Tenley and Teagan are polar opposites when it comes to love. Tenley is jaded and prefers to view love from a practical standpoint, while Teagan views love as a glorious union to be desired and cherished. The fun begins when Teagan “the love guru”, challenges Tenley to a one week, all expenses paid, trip to Kamana Wanalaya Resort in Hawaii to change her mind on love.

Kamana Wanalaya was a fun read with some definite spice. It’s a slow burner, that keeps you hooked. When the plot picks up, it picks up quickly.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Connor is no longer the playboy motorcross rider of his past…he is now a skier in the Paralympics. After an accident took part of his leg, he has needed to find a new way to fulfill the need for speed that lives within him. He seems to be almost as good on the slopes as he was on the track. So, when his coach plans a training session around Christmas, Connor shows up ready to work.

Sienna is the “golden girl” of the slopes…and she is only missing a gold medal at the Paralympics. When her mother cancels her vacation in lieu of another training, Sienna is wondering if there is ever going to be more to life that her overbearing mother/manager. She is less than thrilled to have to spend her favorite holiday training…and even less thrilled when she sees who she has to spend it with.

These two, on paper, are as different as can be. But, when the begin to really get to know each other, they find out that they just might be after the same thing. However, when Sienna’s mother steps in and once again makes decisions for Sienna, will Sienna ever be allowed to be happy? Will Sienna be able to take her future into her own hands finally?

This was a good story about a woman wanting more for her future and a man who’s past shadows people’s thoughts about. Each of the characters is good for the other and helps them grow in their own ways. I enjoyed their banter and Connor’s ways of making Sienna feel special. Overall, a good book that I was able to devour in one sitting.

What happens when a cynic and a hopeless romantic challenge one another? Well everything that happened in Kamana Wanalaya for the Holidays. The author wrote an interesting take on an enemies to lovers romance. One that was thoroughly enjoyable. It was happy, sad, funny, spicy, and everything in between.
Tenley has a podcast where she goes on about being practical in life. Especially in love, she doesn’t believe in it. A independent feminist at heart, would rather preach her feelings vs risk her heart. She despises the so-called “love guru.”
Teagan is the love guru and he issues a challenge. After Tenley laid into him and the resort he promoted in her podcast, he propositioned her. He said come to Hawaii for a week with all expenses paid and if he couldn’t show her how to love, he would donate $10k to her podcast and go on record pulling back some. What he didn’t tell her was it was a couples retreat week.
That’s where the author’s humor comes into play. Navigating these two who are complete opposites through a retreat and fake relationship. They take shots and constantly rib one another, but under it all they are both falling.
How do they handle it?
If you enjoy enemy to lovers romances this book is perfect. The author put together a well written story. It has you rooting for the main characters, it also has you wanting the backstory of the others. Which I’m going to be looking into! You should too!

Podcaster Tenley Shay says it like it is and calls out Love Guru Teagan. Tenley is a sceptic where love is concerned, while Teagan believes love is out there. Deciding to turn the tables on Tenley, Teagan offers an invite to a couple retreat where he makes a bet with her that she cannot refuse. Can two people who are polar opposites on love find something a little special while trying to fight their feelings?

Teagan is terrific, he oozes charisma which Tenley is determined ignore. Humorous with kind of a How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days feeling with a holiday twist. Very entertaining read.

This was the first book I have read by this author. While romance – especially steam romance are not my normal go to, I did enjoy this book. Teegan and Tenley find each other in this holiday romance. They are able to banter back and forth and set up some really spicy scenes! The Hawaiian resort and the holiday setting were a plus.

This book was the perfect book to get me settled into the holidays! It got me out of my reading slump and I legitimately ugly laughed myself to tears in one scene. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for this author in the future.
Tenley has a popular podcast on Practical Adult Relationships. When she sarcastically mentions the Love Guru and his romantical couple’s retreat in her podcast he feels the spontaneous urge to issue her a challenge… If she can go to this couple’s retreat in Hawaii for a week and not fall in love with Love, he will donate a sum of money to her podcast and admit publicly that he was wrong.
I could not put this book down and laughed so hard at times that I had to stop and read tidbits to my partner. Tenley and Teagan are a blast to experience and I could have mentally stayed at that resort for so much longer than the book allowed.

This book is book one of the series. At his was a good read.

Lily is dealing with a dead-end job and her horrible taste in men. After the death of her father, she picks up and moves. She leaves London headed for Montana to reopen the hardware store she was left. That’s where Jake comes in. Lily is not exactly happy with Jake’s presence. Unless of course she can just enjoy the view. Once they get to know each other, you can’t ignore the chemistry. The question is though, will Lily be able to ignore Jake’s reputation or is this just another one of her wrong choices?

I enjoyed this book. There were some laughs along with Lily’s feisty nature. It was a quick read but worth it!

I loved the opening sentence of this book!!! I had to stifle my laughter since I was reading this book during nap time. The reason why women don’t propose had me laughing like crazy and it was so relatable! It was refreshing for Tenley to be a romance skeptic podcaster who tells her listeners the blunt truth of love. This story was full of fun steamy moments and an engaging story! It kept me turning page after page. The Hawaii resort is something I would love to go to and could imagine myself there in the story!

This holiday romance is not what you expect! It has such a great story line and is not your typical story. This was my first time reading this author and I really enjoyed their writing style. Tenley has hidden insecurities that most people don’t even know about. She has a podcast telling women not to waste your time with love. And then comes Teagan who believes in love with his whole heart even though he has never experienced it. He takes a chance and makes an offer Tenley can’t refuse. Will his belief be enough to show Tenley that true love does exist? Can he really break down her walls and reach her heart? This is definitely worth the read!

This was an enjoyable holiday romcom read that I would highly recommend. My first time reading from Susan Renee and definitely will not be my last. The romance genre is not my normal read, but the book summary caught my attention. It did not disappoint and I was hooked by the end of the first chapter.

The main characters have opposite views on what love is. Tenley has a practical view and gives advice on her podcast. Teagan is a Love Guru with an optimistic view. Is it true that opposites attract? A week in Hawaii is the ultimate test from the Love Guru to the Practical Podcaster. He pushes her buttons from the get go. She puts her foot down with her strong opinionated personality. Or does she? Pick up the book and follow the slow burn romance of these two opposites!

I really enjoyed this romance. Its a perfect Christmas read. It is an enemies to lovers romance however I wouldn’t class Sienna and Connor as enemies. Both of them have had a lot to deal with in their lives so it’s made them act and respond the way they do.

Both are Paralympics athletes but they came to it from different ways. Sienna was born that way and over the years she has pushed herself to be the best paralympic skier around. She is a very focused and driver woman who won’t let anyone stand in her way.
Conner on the other hand lost his leg due to an accident, so he has the additional trauma of learning to live with this disability. Conner also used to be a bad boy, partying hard and different women every night. But that all changed after his accident. He is now trying to rebuild his life and career.

Neither Conner or Sienna are looking for romance or distraction but that is what the find when they are on deserted ski resort with just their coach.
As the couple get to know each other you can feel the push and pull as they feel each other out and push each others buttons.

The question is can they drop the images they have of each other in their minds to see the real person in front of them or will their pasts hold them back from taking a risk?

I enjoyed reading this romance story. This is a new author for me which I enjoyed her writing style as well as her attention to details that made her story pop. This is a well written story that will bring you to tears in parts and make you laugh in others. I enjoyed how the characters were written with a lot of heart and emotion. They pulled me into their story from the start. I found them to be connectable and kept the story engaging. This is an entertaining story that is fast paced and easy to read. I enjoyed the growth and chemistry throughout the story. A story about falling for the wrong men and convincing her to give you a chance. I really enjoyed reading this book and what the characters brought to the story made it entertaining to read. I highly recommend this book.

A couple things I love about this book. Firstly, the title is adorable. The cover is sweet too. It is a shorter story but told perfectly and smoothly. My attention was drawn in and held due to the nature of the wonderful story.

Secondly I love the storyline..skiing competitively. I don’t run across this subject too often. While there isn’t a ton of skiing in here it has some of the drama that goes along with being in a competitive sport.

Lastly the characters are wildly different from each other. They both are hot to trot and have large reputations. She is the Golden Child of skiing and he is the former bad boy of motocross. I felt there would be a lot of time spent on why they are in the Paralympics but it was more about the feelings these two felt and their lovely romance.

Overall it is a wonderful holiday and winter themed story. It is a lighthearted fun book to read on a cold day.

Snow In Love is a great Christmas romance novella that I really enjoyed reading. It was my first time reading this author so was unsure what to expect from this book. I’m glad I took a chance on it as it’s definitely worth a read.
Although short at 100 pages, the author manages to pack a great deal of content in to make it an enjoyable read that keeps you engaged from beginning to end.
I really enjoyed reading about the 2 main characters Sienna and Connor. Being the golden princess of paralympic skiing you’d expect her to be a bit of a dive, but she’s far from it. Connor was the playboy motocross rider before his accident and is now a totally changed man in many ways and I really engaged with his character as he tried to make himself a better person.
I have to admit that I really wanted to slap Sienna’s mother and give her father a good shake. My heart broke for how Sienna was treated.
This is a great Christmas romance and I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.

This was just the holiday romance that I needed to read to really get in the spirit of Christmas! I love the fact that this was a book about characters that are in the Paralympics and that it really gave insight into their preparations/thoughts about the competition. I have not read a book that highlighted characters that both are overcoming body differences compared to others. I found myself devouring this book on my breaks and lunches when I was at work. I even found myself wondering what would happen next in the story and daydreaming of different scenarios. I cannot wait to read more books by this wonderful author!!

Snow in Love is a delightful holiday romance. This is a quick read but a well-thought-out story. Sienna and Connor are one of those couples you want to see succeed. The two meet on the slopes, but immediately I wanted it to develop into more. The characters contrast each other nicely. I always enjoy a holiday romance story, and this did not disappoint. I recommend this book if you need a quick getaway and to get in the holiday spirit. I look forward to checking out more from this author in the future.

Faultless Love by K.G Fletcher
5 out of 5 stars

This was my first book that I have ever read by K.G. Fletcher and she did not disappoint. I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump with romance, but I thought I’d take a shot with this story.
Growing up on a farm, and now running a farm myself I was a bit skeptical about the writing in this book and if everything would be accurate (a pet peeve of mine). But, K.G. Did not disappoint at all. She was accurate in a majority of her story, which makes me very happy as a reader and a farmer!
But, I should also focus on the romance in this story, which plays a big part in this book. You easily fell in love with every single character. They were just so easy going and lovable. Every single problem the two main love interests, Teddy and Robyn, they overcame together. They didn’t turn their backs on each other, but they worked together. If that doesn’t melt your heart, I don’t know what would!
I can’t wait for book 2!!

A fun holiday read that I finished in a day! The main characters are both athletes training for the Paralympics at a ski lodge that is closed for a remodel. Connor had to have a partial amputation after a motocross accident and Sienna was born with only a partial leg. They are thrown together to train over Christmas before the big race. Karl is coaching them on the slopes and they get to know each other in the lodge where they open up to each other and learn that they are more than their reputations. The lodge sounds like an amazing place to escape, spend a holiday, and cozy up around the fire. The characters are both struggling to find themselves and are not sure if they can trust each other but there are sparks from the first meeting. I will be looking at more from the author because I loved the quick read!

This is my first K.G. Fletcher book and I have to say that it was absolutely amazing! It is a beautiful love story that portrays how the choices we make impact us. It takes place six years after Teddy has been incarcerated for a crime he did not commit. I believe that the book does an excellent job portraying the changes in not only Teddy, but in his family and most importantly in the woman he loved when he went away. I enjoyed watching the evolution of Teddy and those close to him once they are all reunited. The author did a beautiful job making everyone’s emotions almost palpable off the page. I definitely think that this is a must read and I am looking forward to enjoying more books by K.G. Fletcher in the future.

I’ve always loved stories of second chances, and this one certainly did not let me down.

Robyn believed in love and believed in righteous justice. But when she saw the man she loved being pushed into a corner and get sentenced for a crime he didn’t commit, she leaves her dreams of being a law student in the dust.

Teddy is a good man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and ended up serving prison time for the crime he didn’t commit. He’s been gone for years, but his love for Robyn has never died, no matter how much he pushed it down and tried to forget about it.

Read this beautiful story of second chances to see where the love of Robyn and Teddy will go!!!

This was such a lovely Christmassy read and one that I really enjoyed. It was really well written and engaging. I loved the characters Sienna and Connor, they both had their own issues to overcome but also something in common that brought them together. They really did have a genuine connection. I really did feel this genuine connection with the characters and I really came to care about them – I genuinely was rooting for them the whole way through. I felt for Sienna at times with her overpowering Mother.

KG Fletcher did not let us down with this new series! What a sweet, original, realistic, heart tugging story!

Personally, my family motto has always been “You can’t help who you love.” meaning when you love someone, you just love them. Robyn and Ted have this you can’t help who you love, this faultless love going on. Things happen that tears them apart, for years, but neither has given up hope. After reuniting you can tell their love is true. However, another test is thrown their way. Will they both have enough strength to keep trying?

The plot of this story is beautifully written. Fletcher creates a town (Langston Falls), characters and even feelings that wrap a reader right into the story. Looking forward to reading the next in this series!

If you are looking for a fun and hilarious romantic comedy that would be perfect to transport you out of the cold and in the mood for the holidays, then this one is for you!

 

Kamana Wanalaya for the Holidays by Susan Renee follows Teagan, the love Guru and Tenley the love Cynic as they both try to prove each other wrong on their view of love. It all goes down when Teagan invites Tenley during an interview to a couples retreat at a beautiful Hawaiian resort. If she doesn’t fall in love with love, then he will donate to her podcast. So how will this go? Which will prevail…love or cynicism?

 

This book was so enjoyable. I laughed out loud a few times at the banter between the main characters while being jealous I wasn’t the one celebrating the holidays in Hawaii. Grab a drink, throw on some shades, and enjoy this quick and spicy read.

 

Happy Reading!

What an enjoyable read. Teagan and Tenley are a hoot. What starts as rivalry ends up as fireworks. This rom-com had me laughing, shaking my head and cheering at the shenanigans of these two. I loved the island setting. The author has balanced the romance, wit and steam just right and has a delivered a strong dual POV story that will appeal to a wide audience. Recommend.
