The Fixer (Fall River Series) by G. K. Brady

The Fixer is the second book in the Fall River series and is a Enemies to Lover’s Contemporary Romance that is packed with drama, family,finding love unexpectedly, angst and so much more. I’ve read several books by this author and this is my favorite yet. This is Joy and Charlie’s story. She’s a fast paced city girl who upgraded from being a small town gal. Life is great until she finds herself back in the small town when she inherits her mom’s old building. She was to demolish it but Charlie has other ideas. He’s spent years restoring old Historical buildings. These two don’t see eye to eye and butt heads over every detail. Does Fate have a different idea? Can these two put aside their differences and get what they deserve? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I’m looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Love and Fate (Braebeach Rockstar #2)Love and Fate by Loriana Cappello
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book gutted me in the first several chapters! It was so heartbreaking that I wondered if I could power through the rest with the emotions that were running through me. I am SO GLAD I stuck with it, it was absolutely worth every emotion. You will be cheering for the 2 main characters for different reasons, and cheering them on as they grow.

Tommy had love, and he had dreams of being a rock star. When he wasn’t sure he could handle both, he dumped Angie right before his band hit the big time. While Angie was devastated and left behind, Tommy was living his dreams. Then, they both had big life events. When Angie had been left behind, she moved on and found love and marriage. Tragically, her love was stolen from her and she was left to raise her child alone.

Tommy was living his best life and ended up in a shotgun wedding scenario. While Angie had found love and contentment, Tommy was roped into a loveless marriage with a miserable woman who ended up leaving Tommy and their son alone. Tommy returned to Braebeach after the band was broken up, and the story really settles in from there. It is definitely a slow burn to reach a happy ending, but worth it.

While there is lots of drama and stress in this book, there is so much growth, chemistry, yearning and fantastic characters to love. I’m really excited to see where the next book takes us.

Betrayal (Choosing Family Book 3)Betrayal by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Betrayal (Choosing Family), is a story about Anna Turner and Hunter Thompson, two people wary about love, but not able to resist each other. Anna is a marketing manager who is passionate about the well-being of her employees. She is trying to build a child-care service to keep her employees from having to find other work. Hunter is a property developer and architect who is intrigued by Anna at a party they were both out at. The start of their relationship is rocky due to bad business dealings, but Hunter is intrigued with Anna and wants to help her passion come to light. As the two work out this business deal, sparks start to fly. The problem is that each of them has a past and secrets that are kept. Anna is all about intimacy but doesn’t trust often because of her father who was a serial cheater. Hunter slowly learns to open up to a point but believes that keeping secrets is a better choice due to a father who has betrayed him his entire life and doesn’t want him to have knowledge of his new passions. Will these secrets put a rift in the relationship, will Hunter ever be able to open up, and will Anna ever really be able to trust a man?
I thought this was a really good contemporary romance. I truly enjoyed the characters, flaws, and all. Both characters were so great together, they had great banter, and the story moved along quickly. There were protective aspects and growth aspects from both characters. The story had surprising elements at times that added to the dynamics of the story and the characters. While this is the third book in the series, I have not read any others. I thought this author’s story was worth going back and reading the others.

The Fixer (Fall River, #2)The Fixer by G.K. Brady
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Fixer is book 2 in the series and was a good read. I loved the characters. I loved how there was a real life story there and not just heat and steam ( that’s not so bad either but sometimes I good story is needed )
Joy had to leave Chicago and fly to Colorado after her mom passed to settle the estate. She planned to sell it or knock it down and be done with that small, dusty town. After meeting with Charlie, a local contractor, he advised her she can’t sell it or knock it down because it’s a historical building and needs to be brought up to code before she can sell it.
Joys life changes for the better while she stays at Crystal Harmony Haven. Her skin looks healthier, she doesn’t need her meds, she’s gaining healthy weight and most importantly, she making friends….real friends that care for her.
Charlie and Joy don’t exactly get along until, they realize maybe they dislike eachother so much because they are attracted to eachother. Everything goes well for them. Joy extends her trip until Charlie finds some disturbing letters hidden in the walls and she runs back to Chicago. While she’s in Chicago, things start happening at the work site known as her mom’s store. There’s a lot of suspense in this book and a sweet, clean, happy story of two people who think they finally found the missing link in their lives. Cannot wait to see what happens in book 3 with Reece and possible Neve?

The Keeper (Fall River, #1)The Keeper by G.K. Brady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Keeper is the first book in The Fall River series by G.K. Brady. This book features an enemies to lovers romance that is on par with a Hallmark movie though with a little more spice. It follows Noah, small town bar tender and big time heartthrob, and Hailey, large city dreamer and county inspector. The love/hate relationship between kitchen inspectors and restaurant owners is well known. What happens when they start to see eye-to-eye? Find out in the small town of Fall River and meet the people you’ll be waiting to see again in the next book.

Betrayal (Choosing Family Book 3)Betrayal by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Betrayal is the third book in the Choosing Family series. I haven’t read the rest of the series, although I have read other books by the same author, and I found the story easy enough to follow! I think it would be more enjoyable in the context of the whole series, though. It follows Anna and Hunter’s relationship developing from a rocky start with conflicting business interests into a romance.

I like the project at the centre of the book, creating childcare provision that meets the needs of Anna’s coworkers. It highlights the difficulties in accessing childcare, particularly for working single parents, and explores how an organisation could support the needs of its employees.

There are some great supporting characters, including Anna’s friend Bea who is instrumental in Hunter and Anna connecting! And Hunter’s father, Nick, makes a good antagonist.

There’s a lot going on in this story, which will appeal to fans of contemporary romance. It gets four stars from me!

Love and Fate (Braebeach Rockstar #2)Love and Fate by Loriana Cappello
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Every once in a while you need a good palette cleanser when you’re reading… Something that has an interesting plot, paces and flows well, has characters who are mature and in touch with how they feel, and you know is going to have you smiling on the last page instead of sobbing. Love and Fate has all of that and so much more. I loved the amount of growth I saw in Tommy and just how much Angie healed over the course of the book because of the amount of support she truly has from her friends and chosen family. Loriana Cappello does a fantastic job of depicting ‘right person wrong time’ and what can happen when the wrong time becomes the right time. I would absolutely read more from this author.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Love and Fate is the second book in the Braebeach Rockstar series and can be read as a stand-alone.

So… I am not sure how to feel about this book. While it was a good read it does large time jumps within the story. What I mean by that is this story follows the life of Angie and Tommy through 11 years, skipping many in between. While I don’t mind time jumps the amount the author did kind of irks me. I think because of that I couldn’t get fully into this book. However, I enjoyed the parts when it stopped time-jumping and easily got swept up in cheering for Angie and Tommy’s romance.

Love and Fate (Braebeach Rockstar #2)Love and Fate by Loriana Cappello
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was very excited to see this author had published another book in the Braebeach Rockstar Romance series, so I immediately picked this up and dove right in. This is a compelling exploration of second chances, heartache, and the complexities of love. We get to follow Tommy, a former rock star who returns to his hometown, and Angie, the woman he once let slip away. What results is a heartfelt journey of redemption and rekindled romance.

This story expertly balances the emotional turmoil of both characters. The chemistry between them is palpable, making their slow-burn romance all the more rewarding. The author deftly builds tension and depth, allowing readers to witness the growth of both characters as they navigate their intertwined lives. While this can be read as a standalone, it will certainly whet your appetite for more from this series. The mature content is handled thoughtfully, adding depth to the relationship without overshadowing the emotional core of the story. If you’re a fan of slow-burn romances, this book is a must-read for you!

This is the 1st book in a series about Fall River,  a small town in Colorado and 3 brothers who live and work there. This book is about the middle brother Noah, who is a bit of a player and bad boy. This story brings us Noah, and his latest venture, the town’s newest bar and restaurant. We also meet Hailey a kitchen inspector who has dreams or being a bookstore owner. This book has a little bit for everyone who enjoys a fun HEA – mistakenID, hidden Id, a big city girl and a small town guy. Theres plenty of steamy between these also. The opening book in this series definitely makes me want to read the rest.

She’s a sharp, smart power broker from Chicago named Joy. This is a very flirty, very we-don’t-like-each-other to we-can’t-stay-away-from-each-other. There’s flirtybantefr, wardrobe changes and lots of hot and steamy.

An opposites attract small town romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Health inspector Hailey attempts to save a lost dog during a blizzard, but causes a pickup truck to crash. Struggling tavern owner Noah did not expect to be rescuing the woman who caused him to wreck his truck. Hailey can’t believe Noah protected her from the storm and with her stranded in town she offers to wait tables for him. Noah is struggling to keep his tavern afloat whilst trying to impress his judgemental father and deal with a cheating ex-girlfriend and an obsessed hookup. Hailey can see herself having a life in the small town of Fall River, along with Noah. However, outside obstacles try to prevent their developing relationship. Noah and Hailey’s chemistry came across in the narrative, and I liked how their relationship developed throughout the story. Both the characters and the setting came to life making me feel immersed in the storyline. This lighthearted and heartwarming romance, with just enough steam had me hooked from page one.

Another enjoyable and engaging romance set in the small town of Fall River, this time with an enemies to lovers storyline. When Joy left the small dusty mining town for a city career she didn’t plan on returning. However, when she inherits her estranged mother’s dilapidated and crumbling building she returns with plans of demolishing it. For hometown boy and passionate preservationist Charlie he sees great potential in the historic building Joy now owns. Whilst Joy and Charlie clash over the fate of the building a battle of wills leads to a growing attraction. The chemistry between the likeable Joy and relatable Charlie really came across in the narrative. I loved how their relationship developed throughout the story and it kept me happily turning the pages. Once again the setting and small town feel was brought to life.

The Keeper (Fall River, #1)The Keeper by G.K. Brady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Keeper is the first book in the Fall River Series and revolves around the three Hunnicutt brothers, and it’s an excellent start to what appears to be a promising series.

Noah has just opened his very own business, a tavern. He has made some bad decisions in the past. He wants to prove himself by being responsible and putting those mistakes behind him. Hailey is a restaurant inspector who dreams of opening her own bookstore one day. One snowy night will put these two on a course that will change their lives.

After the two spend a night together in a snowstorm, sparks fly. Each of them has personal demons to deal with, and outside forces threaten to derail their budding relationship before it gets off the ground.

Both characters are relatable and likable. I enjoyed their mutual respect for one another, and I also liked that there was a friendship between them as well. They were both incredibly supportive of each others’ dreams and did whatever was possible to help the other fulfill those dreams.

I loved the quirky characters; the author did a great job of creating this special little town. I could clearly envision each shop and business. There was a dash of suspense thrown in as well. When you add in a loveable dog or two, it’s almost perfection for me. Give the little town of Fall River a visit. I hope you like it as much as I did.

The Fixer (Fall River, #2)The Fixer by G.K. Brady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was a massive fan of The Keeper, the first book of the Fall River Series, and this second book did not disappoint!

It’s now Charlie Hunnicutt’s turn to tell readers his story. He is a passionate preservationist who sees every structure as a living thing with a story to tell. He takes great pride in his projects. Joy Holiday has come to Fall River to settle her late mother’s estate, and she intends to return to her life in the city as quickly as possible. She wants to sell quickly. However, she has to bring the building up to code, and this is when Charlie enters the picture. The two repeatedly butt heads over the fate of the building. As the two are thrown together to see this project finished, they begin connecting on a much deeper level. But, how can two polar opposites find their way to lasting happiness?

I loved Charlie when I met him in the first book. He’s definitely easy on the eyes, but as I read more of the book, that falls away. The only thing I saw was his sweet soul. I admit it took a little longer for me to like Joy, but as I got to know her better, I saw that under her tough exterior was a little girl with a broken heart. She has to face her childhood issues if she is ever going to find happiness as an adult. She longs to have a family who loves her, and if she would let Charlie past the iron-clad walls surrounding her heart, he could give her that.

I was so happy to return to Fall River to see the characters I have come to love. I can’t wait to return with the third upcoming book!

Betrayal (Choosing Family Book 3)Betrayal by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book three in the series and the first that I have read in the series. I will say that this book can be read as a stand alone or with the series. I didn’t feel lost or confused with characters by not reading the other two books first. I can tell that the characters do ebb and flow throughout the books because of the way they are written but if I’m not mistaken each book deals with a different set of characters. Speaking characters, these characters are really well developed and you can feel their emotions throughout this book. They even evolve throughout the span of the book, which I feel is amazing have in a book. This was a very quick read for me as I couldn’t put it down. There is the normal circumstances of contemporary romance which is each character has their own previous baggage and they are trying to see if it is worth working through that to be with one another. However, this book has a bit more to it. There is secrets and lies. The title is there for a reason and it had me turning pages to find out what happened next. There is that push and pull between he characters with their passion and angst. I highly recommend this book to any contemporary romance lover because they will love this book and get hooked into it right away. If you aren’t a contemporary romance lover, I feel like you would still enjoy this book because of the twists and turns it takes and the constant ability to keep you on the edge of each page.

The Fixer (Fall River, #2)The Fixer by G.K. Brady
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Fixer, a book title that could be taken literally and figuratively where this book is concerned. The author brings us a story with love, hate, animosity, admiration, and so much more. With two very strongly independent main characters that constantly butt heads. An intriguing story that sucks the reader in from the get go. Making it a great story to navigate especially with the growth and self discovery displayed throughout. One I would definitely read again!
Joy needs to deal with her mother’s estate. The quicker the better. Only one problem: the building her mother’s home and shop is in is protected by historical structure laws. So she can’t tear it down, but she can’t sell it without putting work into it as well. In comes the annoying contractor(not so much annoying but to Joy he is.) Charlie gives her the rundown, while trying to push for a full restoration. In the end, as much as she infuriates him, it’s her decision in the long run.
As they get to know one another and peel back each other’s layers they realize maybe they were both too quick to judge. Charlie is loved in his small town and Joy is a nobody. A nobody who’s discovering who she truly is along the way.
But what about the feelings that start to creep in?
Neither wants to truly acknowledge the attraction to the other.
Will that become a problem?
Also what will Joy decide about the building?
She was given options. She’s also had creeps trying to undermine her contractor in favor of them.
Will they become a problem?
If you like novels that are filled with self discovery as well as romance. This book is definitely for you!

So Charlie owns the renovation/construction company in town and he’s heart is in preserving the i story of the town so when Joy wants to “demolish” her aunts shop he’s quick to try and save it but Joy is a tough but to crack and she sure has her own ideas 🤣🙈

Joy Holiday a city girl just wants to get her business done in Fall River , she inherited her moms run down store “ Crystal Harmony Haven” and let’s just say she has attitude with a capital A and at first her and Charlie are at loggerheads and I’ll be honest I didn’t like her at first but then my heart thaws a little hee I see how she reacts to Charlie’s dogs I believe you can tell slit by the way a person treats animals do be patient with our little diva 🥰😉she’s very different to her quirky mom but every household has its cross to bear and tough times …..

Their road to HEA wasn’t easy and they’ve got a lot to deal with and work through but again they’ve got a brilliant support system in friends and family . I enjoyed their tension , steam and banter almost as much as I enjoyed Noah and Hailey but each couple owns my heart in a different way now it’s up to Reece to see if he can take their place 🤩😉 ( I’m excited for his story)

Anna is determined to provide a child center for her company and when the lease is frozen she meets the man responsible for it.

Hunter’s father is determined to make his life hell forever if he doesn’t sign on as a partner and save his company and reputation. Hunter despises Nick with a never needing passion as he hurts everyone Hunter has ever loved/cared for.

Both know what loyalty and betrayal feels like. Can they get past it and conquer their enemy?

I loved this book! Seeing the loyalty Hunter had for his loved ones and how Anna doesn’t give up on him even when it feels like betrayal made my heart swoon *sigh*. I could not put it down!

The Fixer: An Enemies to Lovers Small-Town Romance (Book 2 in the Fall River Series)

Of the three brothers I think Charlie is my favorite, I think it was Noah that described him as a golden retriever and honestly that is a pretty accurate description of him. He and Joy while they are interested want nothing to do with the other and I understand it at first.

Mother/daughter relationships are challenging on the best of days. Joy and her mother don’t have a relationship and speaking from experience it sucks to not have the love and support of the one person who should be your biggest cheerleader.

The dynamic between Charlie and Joy is a very very cold to maybe tepid initially but that changes, they seem to grow on one another.

I cannot wait for Reece’s book. I’m dying to know what makes him tick. Until then I will sit and wonder.

The Keeper: An Opposites Attract Small-Town Romance (Book 1 in the Fall River Series)

I feel like Hailey and I could be soul mates especially when it comes to her giant heart when it comes to animals. Noah and Hailey’s story starts with a dog and a snow storm. After a night in his wrecked truck they are saved and I think both of them expected their lives to go back to normal. The exact opposite happened.

Noah is a good guy who made some stupid decisions when younger and he is still trying to prove himself to his Dad which is why it’s so important for the bar to be successful.

So much happens to Noah and Hailey both individually and together but they figure it out.

This was a great introduction to the people of Fall River. I absolutely adore Dixie and her eccentric ways, both of Noah’s brothers and of course the dogs. I have already started and finished Charlie’s story and now I must wait for Reece’s along with several others from this fun small town.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Joy finds herself returning to the small town she grew up when her mother passes away and she must handle matters, including run-down building that was her mother’s shop. The memories the building holds make her want to just demolish it and move on with her life back in Chicago. However, the town’s contractor does not want that to happen.

Charlie has grown up in Fall River and enjoys restoring the historic buildings around town. But, when a city girl drives into town wanting to demolish one, he puts his foot down. The two have to work together to restore the building while also fighting the attraction building between them.

But, will Joy leave and return back to her busy city life? Or can Charlie show her that they can create new memories in Fall River?

This book felt like reading a romance movie. I found myself enjoying the banter between the characters and feel the frustration (and chemistry between them). As the second book in the Fall River series, you do not need to have read the first book to understand this one (although it will give the reader insight on the family history).

Betrayal is the third book in the Choosing Family series by Jennifer Raines. This is the first book in the series that I have read and, although I liked it, I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the previous books in the series. The story follows marketing executive Anna, who is trying to develop her company’s day care initiative, and Hunter, the architect/business mogul who is seemingly in the way of Anna achieving it. When Anna and Hunter meet by chance at an event, Anna is initially hesitant to give in the Hunters advances, but as she gets to know him, and discovers the truth about his intentions she begins to fall for him. Of course, it doesn’t all go smoothly with the interference of Hunters estranged and despicable father interrupting their plans. I liked this book, I felt it took a few chapters to get into it, but I think that might be because I started the series on book three. I think I will go back and read the first two though as I enjoyed the writing style and the characters in this book.

I’m a sucker for books like this! Betrayal starts with tension, anger, lust, frustration, and of course a sense of betrayal. The author wrote a story that sucks the reader right in. The main characters may have started off as enemies but that quickly changed.
Hunter and Anna are both guarded people. They keep everyone at arm’s length. Letting someone close is how one gets hurt. Easier than taking the risk. But despite their business disagreement(Hunter ruined her plans), there’s a lust amongst the tension. A chance to make things right, Hunter goes to Anna & her boss, with a proposition. A proposition Anna is reluctant for them to accept. But as she peels back Hunter’s layers she softens towards him. A constant give and take of information between them, as their lust/feelings for one another increases.
But are they willing to take the risk?
Unfortunately there’s the unexpected twist that Anna is aware of Hunter’s father from her past.
Will he become more than Hunter’s problem?
All that and so much more as you navigate this story. I love the tension, but will you?
