Stout of My League (Love on Tap #4)Stout of My League by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. With four older overprotective brothers Lynn Brooks is fed up with ‘alpha males’. Professional baseball star Joey Martel is definitely an ‘alpha male’, and so when he makes a play for her she turns him down, not wanting to be his latest conquest. Lynn is surprised when Joey turns up for treatment on a possible career changing injury. With trouble brewing again for the Brooks family Lynn has to contend with her star patient and an unwanted bodyguard. Lynn soon wonders if a fling with Joey isn’t such a bad idea, after all he’s not her type, and he’s not looking for a relationship? However, Joey is determined to win the game! Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series I was pleased that past characters ‘pop up’ in it. Although it can be reads as a standalone story, as the background story continues throughout the series I would personally recommend reading the books in order. The intriguing storyline with a mystery element and a twist in the tale, along with likeable and relatable characters and an immersive setting had me hooked from start to finish.

By Your Side (Willowbrook Lake, #1)By Your Side by Ashley Erin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a dual point of view switching between Adeline and Owen. Adeline is a new young widow who decides to buy a fixer upper in a small town. She needs to start somewhere new when she realizes everyone around her is not supportive. She literally almost runs into Owen on her first day in town when she is lost and trying to find her house. She doesn’t know his name and overhears people talking about Wally. Owen is a contractor and seems to always be helping the people in the community. When Adeline realizes she is over her head in the house projects she calls Owen to come help and is surprised it is Wally who has walked in. They clean up the water (broken sink) and finally get introduced. Owen is a grump but only around Adeline. She is grieving but also trying to keep her heart open. As the house is being fixed, so is she and they become friends. I loved all the side characters and friends in this book and the small town setting too. This book was funny and hopeful and I truly enjoyed it! I see that the next book in the series follows another couple and I can’t wait to read it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

By Your Side is the first book in the Willowbrook Lake series by Ashley Erin. Adeline moves to Willowbrook Lake after a devastating loss. While she’s starting over, she meets Owen and begins to feel things she never thought possible. Owen is torn between being her friend and being more while not wanting to be disrespectful of her grief. This was a beautiful love story. Adeline and Owen are wonderfully written. The story flows through time without feeling slow or dragging. For those looking for romance without all the spice this book is for you (there is only one scene in the book). I can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

By Your Side is the first book in the Willowbrook Lake Series. This is a Contemporary Romance that I absolutely loved reading. This is about finding love unexpectedly. The characters are developed, relatable and complex. This may be a fairly new author to me but I’m definitely going to check out what other books they have written. Get ready for Owen and Adeline’s story. She’s not looking for love and he’s got many talents. When these two worlds collide all things are possible. My emotions ran all over the place with sweet story. Second chances in small towns can happen. Will these two get there’s? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Stout of My League (Love on Tap #4)Stout of My League by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lynn Brooks is used to her brothers interfering in all things to do with her life, especially any man who seems to take an interest. When she meets Joey Martel at her work she has no idea he is a member of the baseball team. One date and they find they have a lot in common, not just terrific chemistry. That is until a misunderstanding has Lynn telling Joey off and a year later he finds himself back in Lynn’s life.

Joey knows there is something special about Lynn and he is taking his chance. He will have to deal with the brothers and there is a new threat trying to destroy what they are building. Joey isn’t letting go this time though, he is playing for keeps.

My favorite in the series so far. Lynn is a delight she is so direct and I found the interaction between her and Joey entertaining. Great series, one to pick up and has a ton of unique characters you will come to love.

The Fallen Man: A Heartwarming Holiday Romance Set in the 1990s (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 5)The Fallen Man: A Heartwarming Holiday Romance Set in the 1990s by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 Stars
Unfortunately, this is the fifth, and final book to The Olympic Peninsula series. Read the books in order otherwise you don’t get an idea of who the others in the family are. All our favourite characters from the other four books are back.
Set at Christmas time we get all the senses of this magical time of year as the O’Connell’s celebrate together. With a cast of many complex characters and several plots Cat has done a great job of pulling it all together in one well-woven drama filled tale.
Edward is the eldest brother to the O’Connell clan and has walked away from his faith and is trying to find himself.
Lisette owns a café in the small town but is a haunted woman. She is hiding a lot of secrets with a past that would make the devil look good.
This compelling read was done well and is an engrossing conclusion to this series.

This is a series that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up by this author. I enjoy their attention to details that bring the character’s world to life. Their stories have a realistic feel which makes them easy to read. This book is no different. This is a well written story about second chances, overcoming the past and the secrets it carries. Edward and Lisette are great characters that I really enjoyed. They are strong characters that have great chemistry. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout the story. You don’t want to miss their story for sure. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down and entertaining to read. This is the fifth book in the series and I highly suggest reading the previous books as well as they are just as great to read. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stout of My League is the perfect ending to the Love on Tap Series by Sylvie Stewart. Stout of My League follows the youngest Brooks sibling, Lynn, who is hyper-focused on her future and making a name for herself. Enter Joey, a shortstop, who is sweet on Lynn, but just as overbearing as Lynn’s brothers which causes Lynn to push him away. After Joey is injured the two are forced to talk and see if they can salvage the feelings that are burning within.
This is a quick and fun read to wrap up the banter, fun, and chaos of the Brooks family.

3.5/5 Stars
This book is an engaging tale of romance and adventure that keeps you turning pages. The characters are richly developed, and the plot is compelling, making it hard to put down. However, the language and certain triggers caught me off guard at times, which may not be for everyone. Despite these moments, the book’s emotional depth and thrilling storyline make it a solid read. A great pick for those who enjoy a mix of excitement and heartfelt moments.

Whiskey Throttle (Moto X #6)Whiskey Throttle by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Whiskey throttle is the final book in the Moto X Series. We finally get Parker’s story! Megan and Parker have been together for a few years now. Parker has tried changing his life for Megan and their daughter, Lindsey. But things haven’t been great between them and he just doesn’t see her and her needs. When Megan takes Lindsey to stay with her parents, Parker tumbles down to rock bottom. Ordered into AA after a drunken arrest, will he be able to accept the help of his new sponsor? Will he be able take responsibility for his actions and look toward the future? I enjoyed Parker’s story; his fall, his despair, his courage, and his eventual healing. The story flowed well for me and made this a quick read even with the heavy topic. I thought it portrayed how much you need a support system and a focus on mental health too. I think you’ll enjoy reading Parker’s story!

I highly recommend reading this series in order. So many story lines are mentioned in this book and I think it could confuse someone who hasn’t had the background of the first few books.

This book is the second in the series and a great follow up to the first. I enjoyed reading the first one but I think this one is even better. I connected more easily with the characters and found myself invested in them so much more. I loved watching their story unfold and I thought it matched the two of them perfectly.
The story was again such a well written one. This author really knows how to create an enjoyable story that draws you in from the start. I love her writing style. It has an easy flow and moves the stories on naturally. This is a great book and I am looking forward to the next in the series.

This book is the first in a new series and is a book all about the connection between the main characters. Each had a past that they needed to overcome so they could move forwards. They were obviously well suited even if they were clearly going to have to find a way to let everything go and it was great to watch them do it.
I though the book was well written. It was engaging and entertaining. The author managed to add a lot of emotion to the story which added another layer to it. I have read a few books by this author and they are always enjoyable books. This is a great start to a new series and I am looking forward to the next.

Rachel ahs always found the Mr Wrong and never Mr Right but while drowning her sorrows from the latest disaster of the dating game she runs into Miguel again and the sparks fly again like the first meeting of them. So when Miguel personnel prepares and cooks her meal the chemistry between them is off the charts.

Although Miguel sees Rachel and is instantly drawn to her, he himself has had horrors in the past and is not sure if he can commit his whole heart to her at the start, but as he gets to know her and the chemistry is sparking, can he trust her with his heart.

This is the second book in this series and although this is a series each book so far can be read as a stand alone story. Rachel and Miguel have chemistry jumping off the page but have both had heartbreak and failed relationship but can they put all that aside and trust each other. The story was compelling and gripping which draws you in and flows through these two beautiful characters.

The story is an uplifting one and offers an insight into the worlds of these two beautiful characters, also the secondary characters in the story add to the flow and will keep you reading to the end. I can’t wait to read the final book in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

By Your Side is the first book in the Willowbrook Lake series by Ashley Erin. This is an emotional second chance contemporary romance with a small-town setting, new beginnings, grumpy/sunshine factor, endearing characters, Duel POV, finding love unexpectedly, and the healing power of love.
As expected from Ashley Erin, this is well-written, and there was a lot to like about the story. Especially the characters. Also, weaving plenty of emotion with her words- which gave the story extra depth and believability.
Rebuilding your life after devastating heartbreak isn’t easy, and Adeline feels like she will never love again. She had her chance, till it was snatched away from her. But with her home desperately needing some repairs, will the grumpy contractor she hires fix more than either of them bargained for? Well worth the read to find out.
Happy reading…

Thank you, Ashley Erin!

Stout of My League (Love on Tap #4)Stout of My League by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this series! And yes like the little author blurb at the beginning you can read Stout of My League as a standalone. It’s so much better in succession with the books before it! The author brings the reader the story of the youngest and only female Brooks sibling. A character that is determined and has a plan for her life. A character who is driven crazy by her older brothers’ caveman ways. A character who stumbled upon something she wasn’t looking for. A character the reader will learn to love now that she’s the star of the show.
Lynn has a plan set. She wants to become a sports medicine physical therapist. And getting a job at the Arrows stadium could lead to a potential foot in the door of her dream job. However nothing is ever easy and there are always bumps in the road. In this case in part 1 that bump is Joey. The gorgeous shortstop of the Arrows. Of course she doesn’t know it. She may want to get into a career dealing with professional athletes, yet she is not a fan of sports. So she doesn’t know of him and though she’s drawn to him his caveman ways sends him packing.
Joey spent the last year thinking about Lynn “his one that got away.” Completely forgetting he put a bird in an ear to give her a chance at her dream. Till he heard her. He hasn’t forgotten a thing and he wants a second chance. But how to go about it? That plus she’d kill him if she knew he pulled some strings on her behalf. Deciding to bide his time and wait for her to come to him. Never easy and always having obstacles he’s convinced he will wear her down. Just one problem: she’s worried about it impacting her dream.
Will she go back to Joey?
Will Lynn find out about Joey’s hand in her internship?
How will her brothers feel about this relationship?
So many questions and tons of answers. The Brooks family is on to love. They are tight knit, yet no nonsense people. I want there to be more but there’s only one sibling left and he’s been with the neighbor’s daughter for a long time. But you never know, maybe we could get that story too! So jump on in, unless this is a first then I direct you to the beginning. Happy Reading!!

Whiskey Throttle (Moto X #6)Whiskey Throttle by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the sixth book in this series and can be read as a standalone, but it is my suggestion to start from the beginning.
This is Parker’s story and a very emotional one at that. This book had me hooked from the beginning and kept me turning pages throughout the entire book. This story dealt with addiction and consequences that come from not getting help. Parker and his sister had a traumatic upbringing that Parker hasn’t really dealt with. This story takes us on a rollercoaster of emotions as Parker tries not to lose everything and navigate how to deal with his past. I can’t say enough good things about this book. I have read other books by this author and I’m never disappointed. This is a must read that you won’t be able to put down and it will definitely make you want to read the entire series if you haven’t already. I highly recommend this book.

Parker has it all.. or so it seems. He’s a well known motocross rider, he has Megan and their daughter.. but it’s not enough to silence the demons of the past that weigh down on him. When the weight of the past is too heavy, Parker turns to drinking to escape. As the drinking gets worse he pushes those that mean the most to him away and he hits rock bottom and he can lose it all. Can he win his family back and prove he can be the man his daughter needs? This is a beautiful story of fight PTSD, personal growth, and most of all love. I had not read any other stories in this series and I followed along with no issues! It was an emotional story that I would read again and again.

It has been awhile since I picked up a book from this author, but again, she does not disappoint! This is a very emotional book about the heartbreaking journey Parker goes on to find himself after hitting rock bottom and needing to find his way again. This story is an extremely worthwhile read, but will hit pretty hard in some points as the author doesn’t shy away from the darker parts of addiction and despair. You really feel for Parker and the heartache he feels losing his family, but you definitely see why Megan had to take Lindsey and remove them from his self-destruction. The author keeps you engaged with every page and this was a book I couldn’t put down. I plan to go check out the rest of the series and see how things turn out for other characters as well.

What a perfect last book in the series! We get to see the Lynn (the only daughter) and what her struggles are being the youngest girl with four older protective brothers. Also we get the conclusion of “What happened to Larry?” This one is well orchestrated and watching the parts fall into place is like putting a puzzle together. I loved all the characters and the budding relationship between Lynn and Joey is pure bliss.
I am sad to see this series end but such is life. As the author did with her previous series I feel we could see a few of them again as she does use crossover characters.

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series, I had been introduced to Parker Bartin before and I was looking forward to ‘his’ story. To the outside world Parker has a perfect life, fame, fortune and a family. However, his life is far from perfect, his party boy days might be behind him, but the traumas from his past still haunt him. Parker is about to loose it all and must decide between the whiskey bottle or ask for help. This was a heartwarming and at times heartbreaking story which had me captivated throughout. As usual the author does a great job of making both the setting and characters come to life through the descriptive narrative. An enjoyable and engaging read, and I look forward to the next book in this series.
