My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book. It was sweet & spicy. Of course some drama from the exes. Love is What it is, a book I wanted more from. By the time I got all cozy it was over. I felt there were some spots that were a little rushed but overall it was a sweet & spicy short romance.
Toni goes on vacation to get away with one man, which ends up being a disaster. When she takes initiative she never expects the results to change her life.
Mickey doesn’t want or is looking for love. A good time sure. He’s been there done that in the marriage department and he wasn’t impressed. What happens when he meets Toni and she completely tilts his access. Being in a place of money and power he needs to make sure this isn’t going to be another attempt at that.
Again I’ll say I enjoyed the book. The way the author wrote Mickey, he transformed, and that transformation worked out beautifully.
I intend to look into other books by this author because I’m intrigued and want some more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a short story about a holiday romance. It was fast paced romance set in a holiday environment. A atmosphere of sun, sea and good times. The characters were well written and I loved the humour and the depth of each character.

Toni has just come out of a bad relationship so when a guy she has just started seeing invites her to go away with him she jumps at the chance. After all 2 weeks of sun, sea and fun is just want she needs. However that plan fails when she realises as soon as they arrive that the guy she has come with isn’t the one for her.
After she leaves she meets a guy called Mickey. The connection and chemistry between them is instant and they are both wanting to see why this leads.
But Mickey puts his cards on the table and tells Toni that he doesn’t do relationships. Can this just be a holiday romance? What happens as Toni feels her self starting to fall for him? Will Mickey change his mind and give them a chance? And when Mickey’s ex comes back and trys to cause trouble will this relationship have any chance of growing and becoming more than just a holiday fling.

Brutal Nights
By: Isla Vaughn

I have read every last one of the Hidden Valley Elite Series and each and every one is better than the last. I cannot recommend reading these enough. This is a series where it helps to read each one in order however.
This book continues Damon and Sky’s story. Book 3 left me wanting so much more of their story. This book gives us everything – drama, spice, tension. Isla Vaughn’s story telling is unmatched and her character development is excellent. Each of her characters is flawed but in a realistic way. Damon and Sky have the epitome of a love hate relationship. Its the type of relationship that has you reading each page wondering which way the scale is going to tip. Is it going to end very poorly for them, or are they going to have a fantastic relationship? I am absolutely waiting on pins and needles for the next book in this series.

The Silent Woodsman (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 1)The Silent Woodsman by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a wonderful story. It was sweet, pulled at the heartstrings, expressed independence, and strength. The Silent Woodsman was different from those of the same genre I’ve read in the past. A wealthy man and a not so well off woman, that’s been told in so many different ways. However I liked the story the author told.
Survival seems to be Ali’s middle name. Alone on her life’s journey, after her brother disappeared. She’s strong and independent. She doesn’t let her misfortunes hold her back, she perseveres.
Joe”JJ” is a man that’s never wanted for anything, well maybe his voice. A country music star from a well off family, is hiding away in isolation. Why? To heal. He never expected a beautiful woman would stumble upon his domain. Just one problem: he can’t speak to her. He’s intrigued and wants to know more, but how does one ask without speaking? A notebook.
Once returned to civilization though he realized he made a mistake. He never got her full name. How will he find her?
What happens when she shows up under his nose one day? Does he go after her?
The author keeps you guessing, while taking you on a ride. A ride you won’t want to get off of. I know I didn’t. It just makes me look forward to future books in this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but it won’t be the last. This was a quick read, but this didn’t stop it from being entertaining especially with the ex-drama.

There’s sizzling chemistry between Toni and Mickey and the story shows them both facing obstacles in turning a holiday fling into more. I was rooting for the pair, not only for their chemistry but because they’ve both been scarred by love and despite this, Mickey is charming but respectable whilst Toni knows her own mind and value. They’re both great characters who deserve the sliver of happiness they’re seeking.

This is a great read for a quick holiday option, so if you’re looking for a holiday read, I recommend this one!

Broken. (Green St. Girls Series) by N.D. Jackson – Review by Kerry Carr

Broken. (Green St. Girls #2)Broken. by N.D. Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in Green Street Girls series. This is a really moving story about friendship and how the girls have grown close together when they had no one else but each other. Each of the girls are unique and different and this story follows Indigo.

Indigo has had a hard upbringing which has left her fearful and scared of letting people in. She makes a promise to try and allow love into her life but she doesn’t hold out much hope.
She is a successful gamer and software producer. From the outside it looks like she has it all but the shadow of her stepfather isn’t far behind.
When she creates some software and is about to make a big deal with it suddenly threats appear. Threats that could mean harm to Indigo.
While she is successful she struggles to form emotional relationships. When her relationship with Athena’s brother Gideon turns from friendship to something more this could be Indigos chance. But when things start to get rough with the threats will she allow and trust Gideon to protect her or will she push him away from fear of being let down and hurt again.

This is a moving and at times heartbreaking story. The author does an amazing job of making the characters emotions and fears jump off the page allowing the reader to fully understand and feel everything that is happening. This is also a story of hope as Indigo trys to move away from her past and create a better future for herself. This is a great captivating read.

Love Is What It Is by Marina Hanna. This is a fun holiday romance. Its the story of Toni who is currently seeing Clive. Clive is ok but Toni is not convinced he’s the one. When they decide to go on a vacation together she is thinking it will be ok. Good food, great sex and fun together couldn’t be that bad. One they get there the motel is a dump and Toni leaves as soon as he’s asleep and checks into a nicer hotel. Checking in she notices a hot guy and they lock eyes. Things are looking up already. Toni meet Mickey(the eye locker) and they have a steamy fun time. Clive ends up showing up at the new Hotel and he and Mickey talk and Clive leaves. Fun in the sun and sand with no feelings involved is doable right. Mickey made it clear he’s not up for a relationship but Toni is starting to catch feelings. Will they just say goodbye at the end of the vacation or will Toni make Mickey see they can make it work?

Sliding into Home (Playing for Keeps Book 3) by Lauren Fraser

Sliding into Home is the third book in the Playing for Keeps Series. This is a Sports Romance that once I started reading I couldn’t put it down till I finished. Although this can be read as a standalone I do suggest reading this series in order as some of characters crossover plus they are just as good as this one. This is Kia and Jeff’s story, he’s a professional baseball player and he lives and breathes the game. She is a single mom who is a tattoo artist barely scrapping by. Things are going ok until she comes face to face with her one night stand from several years back. These two have attraction and there is definitely chemistry between them. Kia has a secret that is fixing to change Jeff’s life . I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is book 3 of this series, but absolutely can be read as a standalone, but I’ve enjoyed all 3 of them and would definitely recommend them.

Six years ago, Saskia and Jeff had a one night stand that created their son, Max. Saskia wanted to tell Jeff, but by the time she found out she was pregnant, Jeff had disappeared. When she meets Max’s baseball coach for t-ball, she is surprised to find Jeff is the man that her son has been telling her so much about. Jeff is surprised to see Saskia again after so long, and even more surprised to learn that he has a son he didn’t know about. While the pair get to know each other, and Jeff gets to know his son, there are many things to sort out, including how to make their relationship work for the long haul.

With some steamy scenes, an adorable kid, and a guaranteed happily ever after, this is a great book, and a quick read. I didn’t want to put it down!

This is a cute second-chance romance. Two college kids made a pact that they would marry each other if they weren’t married by age 40. Theresa has put her own spin on this trope, Phoebe has many fears regarding relationships due to her parents failed marriage and runs. There is great character development, the characters are relatable, and they bicker but still love each other hard. Recommend to anyone who enjoys second-chance romance stories.

This is the second book in the series. While I haven’t read the previous book this does well as a stand alone story. The author weaves plenty of back story so you don’t feel lost with the characters. This store offers plenty of charged emotions, twisted adventures, strong women, and plenty of romance to keep you turning the pages. The author did a wonderful job with healing from trauma and the feelings of sexual abuse. This is a poignant yet heart-warming, story about friendship and finding love.

The Silent Woodsman (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 1) Audiobook by Cat Treadgold – Review by Cindy Mayberry MI

This has to be one of my favorite romances. It’s honest, it’s laid back and accidental love does happen, or can it? Joe is recovering from throat surgery. He can not say one single word. So he isolates himself in a small cabin off the grid. Somewhere his fans will not find him. He is happy and content. Ali is walking around in her twin brother’s secret places in hopes of finding clues as to where he really is. She has been told he had died in an accident. She can’t believe them. Getting lost in a rain shower, she stumbles her way on to a cabin. Thinking it abandoned she approaches the porch when the door opens. So that is all you get! This author writes with her heart on her sleeve. She is also the narrator of the book and you can tell she loves her story. It is fast paced and with all the events going on in these two very different characters, you just can’t tell how it will end. As for me it ended too soon. I have questions that I bet they will be in book 2.

3.5 Stars

 

The Silent Woodsman is the first book in The Olympic Peninsula series by Cat Treadgold. This appears to be Ms. Treadgold’s debut novel, so I will be keeping an eye out for more of her work in the future.
This is a sweet contemporary romance with a secret identity element, grief, loss, a wilderness rainforest, a might storm, a cozy cabin in the woods, chemistry, connection, and two truly unforgettable days.
Ms. Treadgold has crafted a touching story woven with plenty of emotion and enough angst and drama to keep things interesting. I did feel that the story was a little slow to get going and while the pace did pick up a bit it still tended to lag a bit in places, but then the ‘ending’ seemed to be rushed. I put this down to being a debut novel and it didn’t detract too much from my overall enjoyment of the story.
I am interested in seeing what the author has in store for us in ‘The Guardsman” (Book #2)- which is Ali’s twin brother Liam’s story.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Cat Treadgold!

A Toast for Laurent is about a couple of kids (22 y/o) making a pact to marry each other if no neither of them are married by age 40.
Fast forward 20 years and sure enough Laurent is not married but he never expected Phoebe to waltz in and hold him to their silly pact.
This was a great story. Both have had their hearts broken in the past and as a result, are afraid to trust in the new love blooming. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

The Silent Woodsman (The Olympic Peninsula series Book 1)The Silent Woodsman by Cat Treadgold
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Silent Woodsman is Book One in The Olympic Peninsula Series. It is an unlikely romance story that focuses on the characters of Ali Ryan and Joe Bob Blade. Ali has gone to the woods to seek solace after the loss of her brother. She gets caught in a bad storm and falls on the deck of a cabin in the woods. The owner of the cabin, JJ, takes her in and the two spend the next couple of days getting to know each other. The tricky part is in the fact that they can only communicate by writing because JJ is recovering from a serious surgery. What Ali does not know is that JJ is really a famous country music singer. Over the course of their time together Ali and JJ begin to develop feelings for each other. Unfortunately, they both must return to their lives in the real world. Is there any hope for Ali and Joe Bob to find their way back to one another and have a relationship? This was a beautifully written story that fully immerses the reader in the lives of the main characters of Ali and Joe Bob, while also introducing us to other characters for future stories. The author writes in vivid detail that makes you feel as though you are there in the story along with the characters. This book will pull you in from the beginning and have you hooked until the end.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Silent Woodsman is book 1 of the new Olympic Peninsula series which is set in the 1990’s. It was an interesting and heartfelt tale will have you falling in love with our MC’s as they navigate their feelings.
A storm brought them together, but their worlds keep them apart.
Cat’s vivid narrative definitely bring this story to life. There are many small storylines and an interesting supporting cast of many, but the overarching story is about JJ a country music superstar and Ali a down on her luck kind of gal.
She believes that her twin is still alive and refuses to believe otherwise. He struggles with his world, surgery and relationship with his music partner. She is too good to be taken down by his world and she has no idea who he is. With one song he hopes to find what is missing and she dreams of a man and two days in the woods.
With pressures, fame, jealousy, frustrations, hopelessness, hope, passion and sparks the story has a little of everything for romance lovers.
The Silent Woodsman is a well-written fun romance tale, but you will have to read the book to have all your questions answered.
With surprising plot developments and some emotional twists, A Silent Woodsman, should be a must on your reading list.
Whilst I really enjoyed the story there were times where the pace seemed a little slow and towards the end it felt a little rushed. But I cannot wait to see what Cat brings to the second book in the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an enjoyable and engaging contemporary romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Country music heartthrob Joe Bob Blade is under strict doctors orders to not speak, and so takes himself off to an isolated cabin in the Hoh Rain Forest. He didn’t expect to find a woman collapsed on his doorstep during a freak storm, however he takes Ali in to look after her. Joe is surprised when it is obvious that Ali does not recognise him, and so decides to keep his identity a secret, as he’s enjoying being treated like a ‘normal’ guy. Even though Joe can only communicate by writing the connection between the pair is obvious, however they both resist as the timing is awful. It’s not until they are both back in the real world again that Joe realises that Ali never told him her surname. Both of them struggle to move on, and even a year and a half later they have not forgotten the two magical days they spent together. No spoilers as to whether they find each other again! I loved the original storyline with the main male character not being able to speak, as this added a different dimension to the story. The chemistry between Ali and Joe really came across in the story and the descriptive narrative brought both the characters and the setting to life.

This is the first in the Olympic Peninsula series focusing on Ali and Joe.

The beginning chapters were very sweet and started the story well. The writing was very descriptive, painting a vivid picture of the rainforest and log cabins. The chemistry builds between Ali and Joe quite well and I began rooting for the couple.

My heart went out to Ali and what she was going through (and what she previously went through) but admired the strength she displayed in surviving and moving forward.

Following the initial chapters, we are shown the pair separately which started well, however I personally felt this went on a little longer than necessary and slowed the pace of the book right down. This did then pick up again in part 2 but then there were a couple of things thrown in which felt a little random. Despite this, the story was still very interesting, and I enjoyed reading.

I look forward to reading more in the series.
