This emotional rollercoaster is heartbreaking and beautiful and just wrecked me in the most amazing way. This is my second book from this author and I just can’t get over how fast I plugged in, invested in these characters. I devoured this book and couldn’t put it down before reading it cover to cover. Beautiful. Just absolutely beautiful. Read it. You must read it. And keep the tissues handy…

Gardner – Review by Heather Lovelace
Moonlight and Belladonna is the first book in the Heartwood Holiday Romance series and debut novel by Jae Dawson. This is an original Rockstar romance, with drama, banter, emotion, humor, mayhem, and a small town setting. I was drawn to this story by the intriguing title and the lovely cover- so I grabbed a copy to explore. This book has an intriguing premise, and held the potential to be quite a fun read- while I did like the small town setting, and a few of the secondary characters, I found it difficult to connect with our MC’s, which made it hard to invest in the outcome of their story. I just didn’t ‘feel’ it. I am still intrigued by the potential that this series holds, so I will see what the next book has to offer.

These two are just the cutest! Their cute fights to their serious job issues. Trey had all around problems. From his family to his job then the girl he doesn’t have. He needs to work on a lot but he keeps irritating Miss Christmas with his window dressings. Maggie loves her jobs. Town librarian and she does the window dressings for Christmas…until pro baseball player, Trey, starts doing the window of his new business. These two have amazing push and pull.
One of my fav things in a book is that all important first kiss. I feel it sets the tone of the couple for the story. The first kiss between these two is amazing and give me tummy flutters. I think I read it a couple times.
Overall it’s a great Christmas time story plus the final book of the Prentice brothers. The story is fun and romantic. It has nice flow and the characters are good. It’s is nice to see his brothers and their fiancées.

The Opposite of Addie: A Novel by Julie C Gardner is a beautifully emotional story that utterly captivated my attention from the moment I started reading! I found myself completely swept away by these characters and their story and was engaged with them entirely. I have to say that this book first caught my attention with the absolutely gorgeous cover. My eyes were just drawn to it and I knew straight away that I would have to read this book. Then when I read the description it shot straight to the top of my TBR pile. Once I started the book I was not disappointed at all as the story itself lived up to every expectation I had set for it. There was so much emotion in this book and the story was so deep and complex. This author is a relatively new author to me but with books like this in her arsenal I will definitely be making sure to read as much of her work as possible. This is easily a 5* read and one I enjoyed immensely.

Moonlight and Belladonna : A Small Town Halloween Romance (Hartwood Holiday Romance) by Jae Dawson is an entertaining and fun book with great characters and a fun storyline. I was drawn to the book from the off with the striking cover that caught my eye so easily. When I started reading the story itself is what kept my attention. I loved the characters in the book – they were so entertaining throughout. I got such a fun vibe from them but also felt the series side of them and the connection between them. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed her writing style throughout the book. I thought it was all well paced with some great character development. It felt like you really got to know the main characters and became invested in them. This was a well written and enjoyable book that I would certainly recommend.

I was excited to see Julie C Gardner was releasing another Friendship & Secrets novel. I fell in love with her writing in Forgetting Ophelia and this was another promising read. I adored this novel, could not ever put it down until I had devoured the entire thing. I would personally recommend that you read Forgetting Ophelia before The Opposite of Addie. The stories do seem to play into each other and build. It is imperative though and you could probably read it as a stand alone if that is more your thing.
The Opposite of Addie is a novel you will want to have the box of tissues handy while reading. This book wrecked me at times and was such a thought provoking read. I adored the way I felt these characters were not only believable but realistic feelings. I wanted to find them all and give them hugs. I won’t give much more info other than what is already shared in the blurb because I can’t ruin this gem of a read, but I can tell you this is one you do not want to miss if you are a fan of contemporary romance!

I have loved each book that Nicole Flockton has brought to this series, and this one is no different. This is an amazing holiday romance read that puts you right in a cosy mood ready to sit back and thoroughly enjoy this read. This book has brilliant descriptions and it really captivates you and draws you into the story. It gives you all that you need from a great Romance book, the romance, the ups and downs, the banter and everything in-between! I loved following Trey & Maggie’s story from beginning to end and I know you will too! This is one not to be missed!

A Merry Texan Christmas (The Prentice Brothers of Sweet Ridge Book 3) by Nicole Flockton is a fun and sweet contemporary romance. This is the story of the eldest and last Prentice brother, Trey. Returning to his home town he suddenly (unbeknownst to him) finds himself pitted against the town Christmas queen and the fun begins. Assumptions are made by both characters and the tug of war begins and ends up not at all how they assumed it would once they unwrap each other layer by layer to see the true person.

This is a YA/College Romance. The main characters are older college students and there is lots of parties and sex in this book. While Jordan is a basketball player and a player on and off the courts, Tess is his total opposite. She is quiet and reserved. Can Jordan manage to put his playing days aside and become a one woman man? This is book one in a duet. I am looking forward to book 2.

I ABSOLUTELY love this book!! I didn’t want to stop reading and also wish it would go on forever. This reads like a dream. It’s smooth, sexy, dramatic and OMG that banana scene! So H-O-T! The characters are outstanding. I ab-so-lutely LOVE these two! They are great together! Almost magic! They made me laugh and I could really *feel* FOR them and WITH them.
I loved that Bella is an arts teacher, Italian, and speaks her mind. She has that certain spunk that appeals. When she speaks Italian….it is sexy! What she does for the school and kids is inspiring. I wish i could see the play. BTW her mother cracks me up! She is a lady who never wants to grow up.
Cade is a famous indie rock lead singer. He comes with baggage. Mostly his dedication for his job and that conflicts with his love of family. He has A LOT of pressure on him to perform correctly for all the above. The songwriting skills he has are impressive. I Love, LOVE, LOVE the song that he wrote!! How he came up with the different parts of it.
There are a ton of supporting characters in here. A few favorites are her crazy, fun mother,the band members andGramps. I love the relationship between the band members. They crack me up and I love that they have Cade’s back! His Gramps may be old but he is still so young at heart!
Overall I couldn’t get enough of this book! This is a book I can reread and enjoy over and Over. I think this would be great as an audio. Those lyrics…the singing and that Italian would sound awesome!
More from this author and next please! Ps…I love the author’s dedication!

This was a sweet and enchanting story. It is an enemies to lovers Christmas romance, where two rivals at a marketing firm, Rowan and Jeremy, find themselves vying for a promotion by creating a marketing plan for an amusement park. I didn’t necessarily like the characters a whole lot but I did like this as a feel-good story. It was nice to lose myself in a book for a couple of hours and this story is perfect for the holiday season.

Wow! I loved everything about this book! This story had me, my emotions and my heart all over the place. At first I was thinking that this would be another rich, popular, star athlete, falls in love with the pretty, shy and slightly less fortunate girl. In a way it was, but it was also so much more. I was waiting and waiting for the bomb to drop in their relationship and when it did it was not what I was expecting at all! Tessa is a sweetheart, I don’t know how anyone could dislike her but, Jordan’s nasty mom sure does. She is basic snotty rich house wife that thinks any girl her son has needs to be elite. The relationship between Tessa and Jordan is beautiful and then towards the end I started getting nervous for Tessa, Jordan seemed too distracted to make time for her, and a certain thing that he makes her do alone, whew, my heart just shattered. I need more! I can’t wait until the next book because I have to see what happens. Highly recommend this book!

The Magic of Christmas is just what you need to cheer you up. I love reading a christmas romance at this time of year, gets you in the holiday spirit. I loved the back and forth chemistry between Rowan and Jeremy, it had me laughing throughout, The trip they take for work to the amusement park really makes them realise who the other person actually is deep down and not the persona they let on to be in the office and what it is they really want in life and that may just happen to be each other. So if you want a christmas Rom-com to get you in the christmas spirit this is the book for you 🙂

Breaking Tessa: A College Sport Romance by T. Christensen is a story of two opposites and what happens when their worlds collide unexpectedly. This book is an emotional rollercoaster that will leave you thinking about it long after you have finished reading the book. I have only read a few books by this author but I have to say this one so far is my favourite. There was just something about Tessa and Jordan that drew me in completely and refused to let go. I instantly connected with their characters and I really felt like I was going on their journey with them! I enjoy the fact that this author doesn’t stick with the HEA type story and isn’t afraid to make you, as the reader, step a little outside of your comfort zone. It always makes the books feel more real. This is an amazing book and one I enjoyed immensely from start to finish. I cannot wait to see what happens next!

I was captivated by the stunning cover and equally captivated by the story I discovered within these pages. I loved how this story unfolded and immediately connected with Belladonna. Tons of emotion, this book unfolded before me and felt like a long lost friend in some way. The writing style was comfortable and detailed. The setting was something from a beautiful Hallmark movie. I simply adored these characters and reading how they found their way. Beautiful!

Breaking Tessa: A College Sport Romance by T. Christensen
I’m not a fan of cliffhangers because I have little patience and want to know what happens now and the idea of having to wait drives me insane to the point that I usually avoid them. When reading the synopsis I missed the bottom paragraph mentioning it was one and I’m so glad I did.
The thought of not reading this book actually makes me sad. I fell in love with Jordan and Tessa from the moment they met. She’s the wallflower and he’s the jock and they somehow make it work.
I think my favorite scene was the party at the beginning and Lindy. She is an amazing supporting character and hope to see more of her in the next book and maybe get her own book.
I’m dying to know what happens! How am I going to survive this wait? I’m hoping it will only be a few months and not several before the next book is released.

The Magic Of Christmas by Christi Barth Five Stars
The Magic Of Christmas is the first holiday story I have read this year. Christi Barth did a great job getting me thinking about getting in the spirit of the season. Rowan West is a workaholic that puts her job first, before any kind of life. She is up for a big promotion and all she has to do is beat out her office rival. Jeremy Kincannon is trying to prove that he is not just riding on his stepfather’s coattails. When both find themselves in a Christmas themed lodge and amusement park, both trying to win the account, they find maybe they had the wrong opinion of each other. This is a fun story that had me hoping for a happy ending. The characters were relatable and the dialogue is witty. I truly enjoyed this holiday book.

There are many rules to follow as your mom’s guest at the company holiday party.
Rule one – do not, under any circumstances, find the new boss so attractive.
Rule two – definitely do not undress him with your eyes.
Rule three – if he slips you his phone number, throw it away. I repeat, throw it away. Who cares if just one look into his blue eyes makes you want to drag him underneath the nearest mistletoe?
Rule four – when you show up at his house the next day, do not let him kiss you. Your lips are meant to say good-bye.
Rule five – at no point should you let him take off your clothes like he’s unwrapping his sexy Christmas gift. And moaning will only make it worse.
Rule six – rule six is a bonus rule, so pay attention. Forget rules one through five.

I do love me some sports romances, throw in the whole opposites attract and you have one heck of a winner for me for a great Sunday afternoon read. Breaking Tessa is the epitome of an opposites attract trope, but it is done with some extra pizazz and with the sports theme underlying. Tessa Parker wants nothing more than to blend in and stay under the radar so to speak. Jordan Davis is the star of the show everywhere he goes thanks to his basketball skills. These two will meet and change the course of their lives. Will they find a way to come together and last despite the very different views on life? I love how this being predictable didn’t kill my enjoyment of the story. It sucked me in and I just had to know how Tessa and Jordan’s story played out. I look forward to seeing what we will get next from T. Christensen!

If you are a huge fan of the Hallmark’s holiday theme movies, then this book is for you! From what I gather this whole series will be for you! Moonlight and Belladonna is the first in the Hartwood Holiday Romance series from Jae Dawson, and I am hella excited to see what the other books will entail. This one is all centered around fall in an idyllic little town called Hartwood. I kinda wish I could go visit the real place but this is fictional and only in my head at the moment. This book transported me to the falling leaves, warm apple pie, delicious cider, and that crisp feel to the air that is all too new even though it happens every year. Fall is undoubtedly my favorite time of year so this book was a complete hit for me on many many levels.
While this book is a sweet romance during the wonderful fall season, it does have more substance to it than just that. I love how real issues were addressed and you felt the spirit of the characters fluctuate with what was happening. It does have plenty of the good stuff but sometimes it’s nice to see that life is just as real in a book as it is IRL. I can’t close my review without a nod to that last chapter of sexiness! Holy hot cakes this one will have you wanting to take a plunge in ice water! I loved it and I cannot wait to see what the rest of this series will bring us!

The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth was a fun read that helped me kick off my holiday season. I found myself smiling many times throughout the story and it really was just one of those feel good reads you look forward to curling up with. I was surprised how quickly I was drawn to Jeremy as a character, unlike Rowan, Jeremy didn’t take any “getting used to” at all. Rowan was hard to like for me at first, her all work, no play persona was irritating at best. I did start to enjoy Rowan’s personality a bit more as the story progressed and her interactions with Jeremy were really entertaining. The characters had great chemistry and once again, brought a smile to my face and gave me feel good vibes. I grew up in New Hampshire and have fond memories of day trips to a Christmas theme park we have in the northern part of the state, I loved that the story was set around a place so similar. If you are looking for a fun, easy to read story to get yourself in a bit of holiday spirit, I would recommend the Magic of Christmas with a 4 star rating!

This is such an amazing series…and I’m sad that the last brother has gotten his story because I really don’t want it to end.
We are introduced to Trey in the first book. He has been away from Texas due to his baseball career. Now that that’s over…he finds himself wanting the quiet country life back home. So, he comes home and takes over a bookstore. As the holidays approach, he finds joy in taking part in getting into the holiday spirit by decorating his storefront. However, there is someone who has a problem with this…Miss Christmas.
Maggie is the town librarian and she LOVES Christmas. She loves helping the town get into the Christmas spirit by painting the windows of the stores in town. But when she sees the bookstore is painted by someone other than herself…well she won’t lose her Christmas spirit title to Trey Prentice (even if she used to have a crush on him).
The witty banter and back and forth between these two characters is fun to read and made me fall in love with them even more. There is just something wholesome about this series that I love. It feels like a place I would want to call home. This book takes its time getting to the happy ending we have come to look forward to…and it is sooo worth the wait! Another amazing story by a great author!

This book will capture you in the most unexpected ways. The characters are easy to love and the plot keeps you entertained as you follow their lives. This is a story of reconnection, forgiveness, and growing. I love that it’s coming from a really honest place.

Gardner – Review by Faith Jackson
I enjoyed this sports romance story. This is an author that continues to impress me with her writing skills and her attention to details. I enjoyed being pulled in right from the beginning. The characters are connectable and they made the story enjoyable to read. This is an engaging story that kept me turning pages. This is a story that puts the theory of opposites attract to the test. Jordan is a well known basketball star and Tessa is not used to all the glamor and glitz that follow Jordan. Will they find a middle and get a HEA? Their chemistry is strong even if they are opposites. I found myself hoping they would find the happiness they so deserved. This was a great romance story that I would highly recommend.
