Love Tools (Bluestone Series, #1)Love Tools by Isobel Reed
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a quick and fun small town romance that I found to be entertaining from Page 1. I lived the characters in this book. They were charming and fiesty and just great to read about. The main characters had a great chemistry. They seemed to be so different from each other but worked really well.
As the first book I have read by this order I thought this was a great introduction. It was short an easy to read but gave the perfect insight into her writing style. And overall great book.

Kamana Wanalaya for the Holidays: A Grinchy/Sunshine Holiday RomanceKamana Wanalaya for the Holidays: A Grinchy/Sunshine Holiday Romance by Susan Renee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Do not be put of by the strange name of this book as it is a really great story. Described as a grinchy/sunshine holiday romance, the author got this spot on. As my first time reading this author’s work, I was pleasantly surprised by a great story that flowed well and characters that I really engaged with. Don’t be scared of trying out authors who are new to you as there are really some gems out there and this belongs to that category.
Tenley, who doesn’t believe in love is invited to beautiful Hawaiian paradise of Kamana Wanalaya by Teagan, the self-confessed Love Guru to prove to her that love really is something to believe in and to hope for.
I loved Teagan and Tenley’s story. There is so much banter between the two of them that makes for some fun, enjoyable reading. Their chemistry is off the charts hot and makes for some steamy scenes in the book.
So can Teagan convince Tenley that love is something to wish for? Will she fall in love with the beautiful resort of Kamana Wanalaya? And will she fall in love with the beautiful, amazing, sweet man that is Teagan? I’d recommend you read this great book and find out the answers.

I loved this story! Michelle and Royce are two peas in a pod, yet they seem to have no clue! Their love for adventure, the adrenaline and the way they seem to come together in some of the strangest ways. I loved reading about them and their time together, forced and not.

This book lit me up in so many ways. The characters, the plot and the smut were absolutely amazing.

Kamana Wanalaya for the Holidays: A Grinchy/Sunshine Holiday RomanceKamana Wanalaya for the Holidays: A Grinchy/Sunshine Holiday Romance by Susan Renee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This sounded like an interesting story and I have read one other book by this author so I grabbed it. I was not as pleased with it as the previous one I read. It has a few funny moments but not a lot of laugh out loud (other than the sneeze comment). It seemed slowish and I found myself in the beginning skipping a bit. Once the story got going it was cute. Their interactions with each other are ideal.

In here there are a lot of secondary characters at the resort. I “felt” they must be previous characters as some of them get their own chapters (which is something I did not understand through most of the book). I see at the end they are from other books she has written. I like that idea but honestly I did not care when I was reading since I did not know them.

Overall this is cute and I liked it for the most part. The story was different and the two main characters both have strong beliefs for their cause. The grinch was the female which is a different angle and he is Mr Sunshine.

Austin Templeton fell in love with the wrong girl. Mavis Benson was never meant to be his. After all, from childhood, her soul belonged to his cross-town rival, twin brother, Josh. Then he met Casey and he has to choose his dream or her. You have to read the rest of the book to see what happens. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First things first, this is the first time I’ve read anything by Susan Renee, but it will not be the last. And this isn’t even my go-to genre. FUN- There is so much fun in this book, starting with the title. Don’t believe me? Just sound it out for yourself. There’s a fun bet between The Grinch and The Love Guru, and so much more spicy fun. FUNNY – Read the first line of the book, and then tell me that it isn’t funny. I mean, we’ve heard the line many times before, but it actually made me laugh out loud this time. There are all kinds of funny quips and bits. MORE FUN – As I said before, this was my first time to read anything by Susan Renee, but apparently, she has lots of books, and in those books, she has lots of lovable characters. She has interlaced the different characters of the different books into this spicy, holiday, rom com! How cool is that?!? Now, pardon me while I go get to know the other characters in their own stories.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lily and Jake. I really enjoyed this book and the chemistry between the two. In the beginning, it was very hard to follow along with because it was written in the third person. Almost like Jake’s thoughts coming from another person. Lily for me is relatable in this book as well in the sense of a father that was never around it’s hard for a girl to trust a man and what his intentions are. Jake is snarky in the beginning and I love how his mind wanders. I would definitely recommend this book.

This book is a quirky, fun read. It will be great to take along on vacation. It is equally as good to help as you recover from the flu this winter! It is romantic versus cynic in a wowzer of a showdown. Readers are treated to an amazing setting with romance juxtaposed amongst a comedy of errors.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was an amazing read. Although the timeline is centered around Christmas time it’s not an overly Christmasy book. A seven-day vacation at a beautiful family-owned resort in Hawaii. Who wouldn’t want to go on that trip? The same thought goes through the mind of Tenley when the offer presents itself.

Tenley runs her own podcast talking about relationships. The way she views them is very different from the man that invites her on this trip. This trip is not just for fun it has a little challenge thrown into the mix as well. Teagan is a happy go with flow type of man. His mouth does get him in trouble quite often in this book. Having two determined people with differences in opinions will make for a smooth trip, right?

What happens when you have two people stuck at a resort together for seven days? Can seven days be enough time to change someone and their beliefs? Will this vacation in complete and utter disaster? Read this amazing book to find out the answers.

This book was just so much fun. Tenley and Teagan are just perfect. I love how they banter back and forth, both not entirely wrong in their thinking. Yet they both need to be open to the other. All the characters were just so engaging. The title totally gave me a laugh. I will definitely be adding this author to my list to read.

A perfect short story for Christmas time. I love Conner and Sienna together! And I love that this book is centered around the Paralympics. This book has the perfect amount of drama, romance and sweet and funny moments. Sienna’s mom is super annoying and really got to me, I was glad to see Sienna stand up for what she wanted. Both Sienna and Conner didn’t let their missing limbs stop them from going after what they wanted and living their lives to the fullest. Conner had to work at accepting his new life as an amputee, Sienna was born that way, and I think the way she embraced it helped Conner to not be as self conscious about his.

So I was rooting for Josh and Mavis to work out in the first book, but it is hard to not feel bad for Austin and him having his heart broken. I enjoyed reading Austin and Casey and their relationship developing during this book. The author did a great job again in this second book with character development. I enjoyed this second book a little more and look forward to the next book.

Umm, what a whirlwind. First, I would not want to be in Mavis or Josh’s position. I understand why she made the decision she did when she left, but I absolutely sympathize with Josh and not getting an explanation. I love second-chance romances and loved that Josh was willing to fight for him and Mavis. The book was well-written and her characters were well developed. Overall I enjoyed reading it.

I was full of intense emotions by reading this book and it was so hard to not stay up super late and finish yet another chapter! I’m excited for book 3!!!

I loved you yesterday is such a fun book to read! I was so excited to keep every page turning to lessen a bit more about our characters. This book turned into much more than I really expected. I thought it was about a love struck guy and that was it but as I kept turning page by page the story just developed so much more! Such a fun love triangle with Mavis trying to find her person. The craziest part about it is the author takes you on the roller coaster ride of trying to choose which suitor is the best! Read this book and you will for sure fill yourself with joy! Loved this I am so excited for the entire series!

Love Tools (Bluestone Series, #1)Love Tools by Isobel Reed
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lily has had enough of dead-end jobs and dead-end boyfriends; she decides to seek adventures abroad and when she discovers she has inherited her estranged father’s business in BlueStone County.

Once she arrives things do quite go to plan, after a encounter with a sexy cowboy she thinks things are looking up but said cowboy Jake is more irritating in the beginning but as Lily gets to know Jake the chemistry is off the charts.
Can she ignore his reputation, and will Jake be the one?

This is the first book I have read by this author and thought this novella a great opening book into her world. I loved the interaction between the two main characters, and this was a well written story to start this series off with.

I did feel a bit for Jake as I felt that he could not shake the reputation of the past and prove too everyone he had changed as a love and leave them type of person, but in the end the story weaved beautifully through their relationship and blossomed into a lovely heart-warming story.

I can’t wait to read the next book in this series and other books by this author.

Highly charged emotions
This is a contemporary romance that just tugs at the heart strings. Austin and Casey’s story is raw and real. Austin has been through so much and Casey is such a free soul. Together they are amazing. It is well worth reading book 1 to get the backstory and to get the full experience if the trilogy. The author has a way of drawing you in, that makes you feel part of the story. Can’t wait for book 3.

This book was like being on an emotional roller coaster. I absolutely love books set in small towns where the township is embedded in the story. This did not disappoint. All the characters are likeable and Lily and Jake are such a great couple. Their story had me bouncing between the lols and the tears. I am so looking forward to reading more of the Bluestone Series.

4 Stars

 

Love Tools is the first book in the Bluestone series by Isobel Reed. It is a really great contemporary romance (closed-door/fade-to-black/clean) with a small-town setting, a western element, sexy cowboys, emotion, humour, interesting + likeable characters, and just enough drama to keep things interesting.
This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Reed, but if this story is anything to go by, it definitely won’t be the last.
There’s so many laugh-out-loud moments, which made this book such a fun read- but, there was plenty of emotion too, which tugged at my heartstrings and had me all wrapped up in the ‘feels’. Lily was such a hoot- all sass and sarcasm- which made for some really funny banter, quips, and antics. Jake might have started out as the king of casual, not wanting a relationship- until Lily swept onto the scene and upended his life. She was everything he didn’t know he needed…. he’ll just have to convince her that it’s worth taking a chance on love.
Bring on Book #2- Expiry Dating…. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for Alice and Brady.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Isobel Reed!

Robyn and Teddy’s story will turn you inside. Emotional, beautiful, honest, and intense. The author did a great job with this story about second chances at love and life. Teddy went to prison for something beyond his control and at the same time lost he love of his life trying to be a better man. When he is released from prison and returns home he finds that not all is lost with his old gf Robyn, and she sticks by him like no time has past.

Faultless Love (The Bennetts of Langston Falls, #1)Faultless Love by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Faultless Love was a second chance, small-town, steamy romance. Ted is a convicted felon on parole for a crime he didn’t commit. Robyn is his true high school sweetheart who has put her life on hold while he served his sentence. Things happen after Ted is released and there’s a chance he might be thrown back in jail.

The things I loved about this book are how cute the two are with each other, the plot was exciting, and it was hard to put the story down. I really enjoyed the connection among the family members and how the farm and everything were set up. It was very cute and entertaining.

The things I didn’t quite enjoy about the book were the way the prose was written, the way Ted talked about his sister, and how some of the things didn’t quite finish up. We didn’t get some things wrapped up around the plot. It was a bit of a weird wrap-up.

Overall, it was a decent story. I enjoyed reading the story and loved the couple. It was a cute story that had a bit of a kick to it. I enjoyed the tropes and the idea behind it. It was a good read for anyone who loves small towns, farms, and second chances.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I Love you Today is the 2nd book in the Trading Heartbeats series. It should be read in order because there is a lot of back story. It probably could be read alone, but you won’t have the full details of the character’s relationships. I loved this book! Casey and Austin are both great characters. I love that Casey is a klutz and not a perfect cookie cutter girl. She is a down to earth, every day girl, and Austin is pretty cool too for how rich his family is. I can’t believe what he did to Casey but I was happy with their ending. The ending of the book on the other hand, not cool… I need to know what happens next and read Lauren and Mitch’s story. Please be quick with writing and publishing it!
But seriously I love this book and series. It is clean but cute and romantic. Can’t wait for book 3.

A fantastic beachy holiday read. I have never spent a holiday anywhere warm, unless New England happens to be unusually warm, but reading this I was instantly transported there. At first when I read the Title, I was having trouble figuring out the pronunciation, then I said it out loud and instantly started laughing out loud. I couldn’t wait to dive in and it literally started delivering first sentence!
I don’t even know where to begun on how much I enjoyed this book. I loved the characters, they were relatable and enjoyable to spend my time with. I wasn’t able to read this in one sitting but if things like taking care of children and going to work didn’t get in the way I could have easily sat and devoured this book.
If you are lucky enough to go somewhere warm and tropical this holiday season and need a poolside/beach read this is it!
If you’re like me and just need to mentally escape to somewhere warm, this is it!

The perfect quick read to get you in the holiday spirit. Snow in Love by Libby Kay is a short and sweet (and a little bit spicy) Christmas Read!
I was hooked just after a few pages and read it in one sitting. I was engaged from beginning to end. I really enjoyed the characters. The story was cute.
This is honestly the perfect read to curl up by the fire with a mug of Hot Cocoa and snuggle under a cozy blanket.
The story was short, but it was honestly perfect, nothing felt rushed or dragged out.
So if you are looking for a holiday themed read, this is a great one.
