My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heaven Only Knows by Laurie Lewis follows attorney Barrett when he is required to stay in New Orleans to help victims in a case. This book can be read as a stand-alone, but it is part of the Silver Buckle Brides series. This is a good read and there are ups and downs as Barrett gets acquainted with Agata, a beautiful singer. This book will entice feelings within you. For an entertaining read, I suggest you pick this one up.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oh, I love stories like this. They can resemble what life can throw at you. Anna promises her coworkers on-site daycare and finds the perfect spot. Life throws Hunter at her like a bad bone to block the door. Boy, do these two have some chemistry. The problem is that they have secrets too. I enjoyed this story sooo much. The back and forth between them, the sparks made the romance so much more fun. The little twists in the story kept you on your toes. The characters were well written and really fit into the story. I found that the story had a nice a flow. Overall, it’s a really entertaining romance.

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

Love and Fate is an amazing second chance at romance between a rockstar and the girl he loved but pushed away due to his insecurities. This romance has everything you could ever want in a story, from an exciting rock band with cool members to love and loss and, of course, regrets for decisions made throughout life. I love that there are so many great lessons to be learned from the characters in this story, and they most definitely do, some good and some bad outcomes but in the end, love will always win out. You get to experience what life is like for parents in the music industry and how there must be a deep-seated trust between both parties in a relationship to make things work and be faithful. There are some deeply sad parts in this story, but those must happen so that the characters may experience the life lessons that come with these rough patches in life. This book was well-written and kept my interest the entire time I was reading it. I am so excited to find the first book and see what I missed out on by starting on book 2 of this series. Happy book hunting my friends! Give this book a read, you won’t regret it, it’s an amazing example of fate winning out in the end.

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

Book one in the Fall River series. This reads like a Hallmark movie, but with much more depth. I LOVE these types of books and movies. Small town, boy and girl in trouble. Boy saves girl while she also saves him. There is much more to it than this though. That is a very quick summary. There’s more trouble and drama than that. So much at work to keep these two apart. It’s witty, fun and a little steamy. Perfect for a cozy read.

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

Anna Turner was on the cusp of achieving the impossible, a day care center for co-workers to help show how valuable they are. Everything comes to a complete halt when a takeover happens to the building she was about to sign the lease for. She meets Hunter Thompson, the man responsible for taking over the building. Anna tries to appeal to him to let the lease she was promised push thru only to end with her fury toward the man.

Hunter knows not everything in life is fair and he feels bad about Anna’s situation, but business is business. He didn’t expect the attraction to be there, he wants to spend more time with Anna but they are not on the same page when it comes to what they want. Can they find their way into each others heart with out breaking their own on the way?

This had a few twists to the story . Hunter and Anna have more in common than they are aware. I enjoyed the banter between Hunter and Anna. Several surprises in the story that surprised me.

Book two in the Fall River series. Another Hallmark romance type story, but again, with more depth. I love the banter between these two characters. It’s what makes me fall in love with these types of stories. The witty back and forth of the snarky enemies to lovers vibe. Fast-paced city loving, small town hating woman versus small town, passionate, loveable charmer, both stubborn to a fault, who will win?!

Masquerade (Choosing Family Book 1)Masquerade by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance. Liam Quinn needs to land a project in order to get a law partnership. However, the project requires confidentiality, so not the best timing for his estranged but identical twin to appear on a billboard. Meanwhile romance author Kate Turner writes under the pseudonym ‘Ms. Sexy Romance’, as her playwright father thinks romances are just trashy novels, whilst her ex-boyfriend referred to her writing as a ‘dirty little secret’. Kate’s identical twin encourages her to appear on a billboard proving that she can be both notorious and anonymous. In her day job Kate becomes Liam’s research assistant, but they can’t deny their mutual attraction. This heartwarming romance kept me happily turning the pages. I found Kate and Liam to be likeable and relatable characters. Their chemistry sizzled off the page and led to some steamy scenes.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Having promised affordable and reliable childcare to her co-workers, marketing manager Anna Turner can’t let them down. A hostile takeover of the building threatens her plans. When architect and property developer Hunter Thompson learns what his father has planned for a building owned by a family he’s close to, he out-manoeuvres his father and buys the property himself. Anna is angry when she learns Hunter is behind her plans not working out. Having told him about her plans for her ideal childcare centre, Hunter offers her a new lease as long as they work together. As their professional relationship develops into a more personal one secrets from their past have devastating consequences. This was a heartwarming romance with an intriguing storyline and likeable and relatable characters. It can be read as a standalone story but some of the characters do appear in the previous books in this series.

Betrayal (Choosing Family Series) by Jennifer Raines

Betrayal is the third book in the Choosing Family Series. This is a Contemporary Romance that I truly enjoyed reading. I’ve read several books by this author and this may be my favorite yet. The characters are fully developed and creative and made me feel like I was apart of the story. This is packed with, drama, secrets, Betrayal and so much more. This is Ana and Hunters story. Anna is the Marketing manager who promised reliable yet affordable childcare for her coworkers and she might have been slightly under pressure. Hunters smells Betrayal and buys the building himself. One doesn’t do Hookups where the other won’t risk long term. Can these two make something happen? When secrets are revealed things change. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Seeing two people who have been hurt and betrayed by the ones they have loved; grow and communicate and fall in love with each other is truly awesome to read. You get to witness both Kate and Liam grow together with their own personal conflicts as well with each other.

I found that this book for me gives insight and hope that trust and communication can go a long ways. I enjoyed this book a lot and can’t wait to see what happens in the next one with another character from this book.
Thank you Jennifer!

HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS (A Silver Buckle Brides Romance Book 3)HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS by Laurie Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Heaven Only Knows is book three in The Silver-Buckle Brides contemporary romance novel series. I’ve read book two, and really enjoyed it, but haven’t made it back to book one yet. They can all be read as stand alone novels, although the characters are interconnected, the MMC’s are all brothers. Barrett is a lawyer and Agata is a singer and they couldn’t be more different, but through it all will fate prevail? I really enjoy the authors story’s and her writing creates a phenomenal, smooth flowing story that pulls all of your heartstrings.

Tommy and Angie’s story starts the same summer as Calla and Ash’s. However, theirs is a rollercoaster of emotion and life events. Through devastation and hard life choices can they find their way to each other?

This book is an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. The author has effortlessly and effectively wrote the turmoil that the characters had to go through before they were in a place to love and be with each other. I enjoyed that journey.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love and Fate (A Braebeach Rockstar Romance) by Loriana Cappello. This is the 2nd book in the Braebeach Rockstar series and I highly recommend reading the 1st book before this one. In the 1st book Angie is left by Tommy when he hits the big time with his band and event tells her not to make him feel guilty. What a jerk and in this book is set 5 years later and Angie is married and has moved on. Tommy is also a single dad going thru a very messy divorce and the band is not in a good place. When they meet up again the old feelings come back and Tommy doesn’t plan on letting Angie go again. Angie is pregnant with her husband but he is not good to her at all and when she finally gets the courage up to leave the one person there for her is Tommy. Will she give him the second chance he so desperately wants? This is a slow burn, second chance romance and it will hit all your emotions! Tommy’s ex is a horrible person and I wished bad things on her several times. Be sure and read the 1st book before this one to get the best experience with this book! Can’t wait for the next!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second in the series but can be read as a standalone. The story is well written and the characters relatable and able to pull you out of the real world and help forget you aren’t part of the story world.
You’ve got big city girl meets small town boy, and all the stubbornness you would expect from the pairing. There’s plenty of bickering, plenty of laughs, and lots of steaminess.
When I read a book, one of the things that I love is when I can forget I’m reading and can so clearly see the story playing out. This book 100% delivered that.
I would recommend this story and author to anyone, I really don’t think you will be disappointed.

I will admit, I picked this book up not knowing a huge amount about it, going only off the book cover and description. I fully expected to get your typical rockstar romance so was completely floored by the first part of this book. The events, and the emotions surrounding them, were so well portrayed. You couldn’t help but be drawn in by the characters and everything they were experiencing.
I thought the story was really well written. The impact the opening the opening of the book had really stays with you and dictates how the rest of the story unfolds. I knew I was going to like this book, I just didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. This is a brilliant story that I would highly recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The second book in the Fall River series, we follow younger brother Charlie Hunnicutt as he battles with the daughter of Hellene (departed owner of the crystal shop). Joy wants nothing more than to demolish the shop and see the town of Fall river and the memories of her mum and their dysfunctional relationship in the rear view mirror of her rented car. There is a lot of family stress between Joy and her sister, and Joy struggles with aspects of her coping strategies. There is again chemistry in abundance.
Another great book where the characters continue to grow, The storyline is engaging and continues to link back to the first book’s characters, although it could be read as a stand alone it is a really good continuation.
I really cannot wait to read what happens to the Hunnicutts and maybe a few more of the residents of the town.

The Fixer was book two in The Fall River Series, and it was about Charlie, book one’s MMC’s brother, and Joy, who inherits an old house, and wants to find someone to tear it down. Charlie, and the Hunnicutts, care very deeply about the history and attention their town gets, so he finds himself wanting to restore the house instead. I enjoy G. K. Brady’s novels, the dynamics between the characters, and the heart that goes into all of her novels. I look forward to reading more of this series.

4 Stars

 

Betrayal is the third book in the Choosing Family series by Jennifer Raines. It is an enemies to lovers contemporary romance with betrayal, family dynamics/drama, angst, secrets, chemistry, friendship, spice, and some emotion.
Anna Turner (whom we met in Book #1 as she is Kate’s twin sister) has worked really hard on a project to provide much-needed daycare services for her company (employer), only to have it fall apart at the last minute by a hostile takeover.
Hunter Thompson’s father is set to take over the building, but Hunter beats him to the punch. No love lost there. But circumstances arise where these two will need to work together to see the project though. What happens when their simmering chemistry begins to bubble over? And what happens when secrets are revealed? Will their blossoming relationship survive the fallout? No spoilers from me- so you really should read all the intriguing developments for yourself.
The series consists of:
-Masquerade (Book #1)
-Quinn, By Design (Book #2)
-Betrayal (Book #3)
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Raines does next.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Jennifer Raines!

Masquerade is the first book in the Choosing Family series by Jennifer Raines. It is a fun contemporary romance/women’s fiction story with two sets of twins making for twice the trouble, secrets, chemistry, quirky characters, family, drama, angst, environmental messages, and finding love unexpectedly.
Liam has a lot riding on the success of his next ‘project’, so it’s crucial that nothing goes wrong….. except that he has an identical twin brother who is making things difficult with his high-profile media presence. Add in past failures, and family drama, and Liam might just have bitten off more than he can chew.
Kate has problems of her own to deal with. She takes a job as his research assistant as a ‘cover’ for her other ‘occupation’- as romance author. But her meddling twin may have coaxed her into an even more complicated situation. What happens when secrets are revealed? This is well worth the read to find out.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Jennifer Raines!

Another great read in this series! Each book is a stand-alone but it would be beneficial to read these in order to learn the family dynamics between these seven very handsome Brockbank brothers.

This book is primarily set in New Orleans so you will get to experience some of the history through the eyes of our cast. I absolutely love Agata’s name. I’ve never heard that before but I love the name and her story will tug at your heart. Barrett is loveable as well!

I recommend this and look forward to the next book in this series!

This book shows the layers to people, like prejudging others before you get to know them.

This story is about 2 sets of twins and them swapping being one another for a reason (you’ll have to read to learn more). It’s very detailed and realistic to how these people perceive one another and then they learn more about why that person comes off that way and how they actually are.

Love the 2 main characters and their whole journey throughout. Researcher/writer and a lawyer working together and learning about one another along the way. Both main characters had been betrayed by past lovers and this story shows their struggle to learn to trust and let someone in. And loved that it included a sneak peek into the second book which the main character will be one of the characters from this book (I always love that in a series). Great read and loved how the story all played out.

Love seeing series that tell the stories of characters from the first book of the series that weren’t the main character then but are now. This book has one of the girls from the sets of twins (2 guy and 2 girls) from the first book telling her story of having something she wants to accomplish and finding out a way to make that happen. I love that it shares details of what’s current with the characters of the first book of the series as well. I absolutely loved the whole story and how it all played out from learning how each character had been betrayed by people they knew and how they learned to confront and move past it, and did they learn to trust and love another at the end? You’ll have to read this book to find out and get all the details of the whole story. I really liked Book 1 Masquerade but i absolutely loved Book 3 Betrayal (now I’ll just have to read Book 2 as well).

I missed the first book so I started this then stopped and read the first book and then re started this and man what a treat that was !

The first bit of the book was tough and I very nearly put it down but I’ve got a serious case of FOMO so I pushed through ( the life of a bookworm 🤷‍♀️🙈🥰📚)

Tommy and Angie were an item before he and his band hit the big time and I felt quite bad for her and then he still asks her not to weigh him down with guilt ?! What a chop !

Chapter 1 picks up 5 years later ….Angie is now married and Tommy has to reign in his thoughts at Calla and Ash’s wedding …..he let her get away …

Time and life moves on and Tommy is now a single dad to a real cutie named Ozzie but with a messy divorce looming over him and the band in a mess life isn’t fun at the moment .

Angie isn’t having it easy either and Tommy is a friend when she needs it most , I really kept my fingers crossed that they’d find their way to each other 🥰

All I can say is be prepared to time hop , keep your Kleenex on hand and make sure you have an ample supply of comfort food and drinks 🫣😉
