An Agreement (Summer in New York, #3)An Agreement by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

An Agreement is the third book in Summers in New York series by Lindsay Marie Miller. It is a sweet, sexy, contemporary romance, that has a heart-warming, romantic and captivating storyline.
This book can be read as a standalone, but as there are inter-connected characters and details, so I really recommend reading the other two books before starting on this one, to get all the backstory and character information, which will give you a better understanding of this book.
Bailey Lewis is Benjamin and Claire’s daughter (Claire and Benjamin had their story back in Book #1). She’s a twenty-five year old romantic who dreams of being swept off her feet by her knight in shining armour- of having her own fairytale romance with a happily ever after. Problem is she hasn’t had much luck when it comes to meeting the right man. Plus, she’s spent a great deal of time building her fashion business, right from the ground up. Her little boutique is finally doing really well, and she finally feels like she’s proven herself business wise…. But she wants more. Her brothers talk her into online dating, something she has avoided up until now. But desperate times and all that. So, she sets off on her first ‘date’ only to end up at the wrong persons table. This innocent mix-up is where this story really gets interesting, and introduces her to Carter Boudreaux…. What happens, you ask? All the delightful details can be found when you read this great story for yourself….
I really have enjoyed this series, and this book is no exception. I can always count on Ms. Miller’s imaginative and unique storylines to captivate and entertain me, she is definitely on my must read list. I am looking forward to her next book.

Thank you, Ms. Miller!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An Agreement is the third book in Lindsay Marie Millers’ Summer in New York series. I have read the first two books in the series and also some other books by her so every time I come across another one of her books, I go for it! I love her way of telling the stories and it feels as if they get better and better with each new book I read.
An Agreement is the story of Bailey and Carter. I loved the sweet slow boiling romance where we did not have crazy ups and downs, not at least the way some of the writers like to send us through a wringer … I loved Baily, the sweet and likable Bailey who had her demons she had to fight … and Carter, who did not think he was good enough for Bailey and had his own baggage to deal with … I loved how they were working through their baggage and how they grew closer and closer and I kept keeping my fingers crossed for a happy ending … it is always great to experience with the characters the light they reach after a long stay in the darkness …
I hope that the writer will keep sharing with us more stories of Summer in New York … she did introduce a number of great potential characters here…

An Agreement (Summer in New York, #3)An Agreement by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An Agreement is the third book in the Summer in New York series. It can be read as a standalone.

An Agreement is an emotional story and I found myself tearing up several times. The romance part of it is not graphic in nature and it seemed to me that the focus was on the challenging parts of relationships. I think that is what made the story more real. An Agreement really puts emphasis on the way that the things we’ve experienced in our life can influence the way we interpret and respond to different aspects of relationships. Even though the synopsis of the book clearly states a HEA, there are several times when reading the story that you still wonder if they will make it.

This book was an easy read and I finished in one day. One suggestion I would make is not to read it in public if you are sensitive, because you might cry. Try explaining that to the people sitting around you in the coffee shop, lol. I almost had to. Also, this book does deal with some sensitive subject matter, although not in explicit detail.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The ‘Summer in New York’ series just keeps getting better and better! I have been reading Lindsay Marie Miller’s work for a while now, but if you haven’t you could easily pick up any of these and read them as standalone novels. I would just recommend reading them all because they are equally great so why not? I do have to say this installment wasn’t my absolute favorite of the series so far though, so that is why I marked at four stars. Just a personal thing. I didn’t connect as much to the MC’s and found myself struggling to get into the storyline a bit till the latter half of the novel. Otherwise the story was gripping and adorable. The perfect afternoon read!

“An Agreement” brings us the story of Bailey and Carter. A sweet and perfect friends to lover’s story. Bailey is successful at running her own clothing boutique. She is also pretty good at designing them too when she gets a chance. Clothes that is what she is good at. Not men. She wants to be though. She looks to Carter to help her with that and an ‘agreement’ is made to show her all the ways of the man. But what happens when Mr. Right is right in front of you? Even if it is just your “friend?”

An Agreement, Summer in New York Book 3 by Lindsay Marie Miller
4 out of 5 stars

Lindsay Marie Miller is a fantastic author. This third installment in the Summer in New York Series is a fantastic book. Ms Miller has the singular ability to create two separate individuals within the confines of the covers of a book and submerge them and the reader into a world into a world that is detailed and amazing! Bailey has found herself single at the ripe old age of twenty-five but refusing to stay single for much longer, she reaches out to her friend Carter to find out exactly what she is missing in obtaining the perfect man for her..even though she knows the perfect man for her is Carter.

Carter thinks he is a broken man. On the inside and out. Bailey is too good of a person and has too sweet of a soul to love someone like him. So he does the next best thing, he does everything in his power to make sure she finds her white knight..even if that isn’t him.

This sweet romance has some series chemistry to it and the secrets come out that they are hiding from each other…some serious sparks fly. I found myself laughing at a few mishaps and at others I was frustrated at the OBVIOUS sexual tensions, but alas, with age comes wisdom..and when you are only twenty-five, you seem to miss what is right in front of your face. Highly recommended.

An Agreement (Summer in New York, #3)An Agreement by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An Agreement was a good 4 star read and book three in the Summer in New York series.

Bailey is a 25 year old with her own clothing store that is finally starting to go in the right direction. She has always had the fairy tale dream of the right man coming along. When her brothers talk her into trying online dating she ends up with a date, there is a slight mixup and she ends up meeting Carter.

Carter meets Bailey when she comes to his restaurant, there was something about her that pulled him in. When fate steps in he finds himself having lunch with Bailey and his sister. Carter just isn’t looking for anything right now due to his past but he agrees to help Bailey understand men better. The more he helps Bailey the more complicated things start to get. Can they really keep things at a friends level?

I really liked Bailey, she was a very sensitive woman looking for, the one. Carter pulled at my heartstrings also, the chemistry that these two had was great. My emotions were all over the place with this read. The secondary characters were good. It took a little bit for me to get pulled in at first but once I was, I couldn’t stop until I was done. I was once again pulled in by this authors writing, This can be read as a stand alone. I can’t wait to read more from this series.

An Agreement: Summer in New York book three by Lindsay Marie Miller. This was a difficult story to read, not because of the story, that was great but the characters made you feel so much. An Agreement is about getting a second chance at love and life. Even if you don’t think you deserve it, or your not good enough, all the negative thoughts, fears, doubts and blame for past experiences. The main characters Bailey and Carter each have a difficult past and secrets they aren’t sure they want to come out but eventually they all come out and every time they take one step forward it’s three more steps back. With they ever move past their fears and doubts and just be happy?

I continue to thoroughly enjoy Lindsay Marie Miller’s writing style. This latest book is no exception. I was immediately drawn in by these relatable characters. The plot was well developed and well paced. I was entranced and had difficulty putting the book down before I finished the last page. This book can be easily read as a standalone but is best enjoyed and appreciated when read in context of the entire series as presented. Overall a great book and one I look forward to reading again very soon.

An Agreement Summers in New York book 3 by Lindsay Marie Miller

Four Stars

Once you make an agreement you should do your best to honor it. Bailey has had a tough life and is trying to find her happy place. I felt from the beginning that Carter would change her. I dislike family drama. It never seems like they actually get over the issue. Like my aunt who cooked greens for thanksgiving one year. She didn’t wash them now we tell her to not bring anything. Lol! It was sad looking at Bailey’s and Carter’s lives through this author. They both had some hard times as children and adults. You could really feel how much time and emotion the author put into this story. I felt like the characters were genuine people. The story dragged a little in the first few chapters but picked up as it went along. I really liked that you see a growth in the main characters lives. I enjoy books that give reason for its characters. Why they live the way they do and how they change and better themselves.

This is the third book in this series, it can be read as a standalone but I highly suggest reading the previous books as they are just as enjoyable. This is a friends to lovers story that I had a hard time putting down. I enjoyed Bailey and Carter’s chemistry together both as friends and the hot, steamy part of their relationship. They are both looking for something and I found myself hoping they would find each other. I highly recommend reading their story, will they find their HEA?

An Agreement by Lindsay Marie Miller is the third book in her Summer in New York series. This book is a fantastic friends to lovers story that will have you so invested in the characters you won’t want to stop reading.
This author in an author who really knows how to write a good story. As with her other books this one flowed well, had great paced and was interesting. I have always loved a friends to lovers story and for me Lindsay did this so well. I absolutely fell in love with the characters. They were so relatable and engaging. I really believed how strong the feelings Carter had for Bailey were.
All the way through this book the author had me captivated. I hadn’t read any in this series previously and that is something I will be changing immediately.

The story An Agreement (Summer in New York Book 3) by Lindsay Marie Miller is a new adult/romance book. It is a story that hooked me in from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. It is part of a series that I have loved since reading the first book. I loved reading about the characters of Bailey and Carter. Bailey is a woman who has her own clothing boutique and also sometimes designs her own clothes. She is talented, hard-working, and successful. She is also looking for Mr. Right. Could Carter be him? Carter believes he is a broken man. Although he thinks about her constantly, he tells himself that he is not good for her. These two enter into an agreement in which Carter will help Bailey understand men. These two are attracted to each other. Bailey does have insecurities and doesn’t believe that someone like Carter would want someone like her. Friends are all these two will ever be, right? There is a chemistry between them. What does the future hold for Bailey and Carter? Will they finally get out of the friend zone and find happiness together? Will they get an HEA? Read this book to find out. Bailey and Carter are two characters that I grew to love with each chapter that I read. They are characters that I could empathize with and also root for. I also enjoyed the additional characters that are in the story. Many of them have been brought forward from other books in the series. Others are new. I enjoyed reading about the parts that they play in the book and their interactions with Bailey and Carter. This story is also one that had my emotions going up and down the entire time that I read it. There are times that are heartbreaking and also times that are heartwarming. A wonderfully written story with amazing characters. Highly recommended book and series.

Violet Blood (Murder in Savannah, #4)Violet Blood by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Violet Blood (Murder in Savannah Book 4) by Lindsay Marie Miller ​is the final book in the series. This series should be read in order so you understand the back story and all the characters involved. I have been looking forward to reading this the final story and Lindsay didn’t let us down. The writing and the pace of the story flow easily and nd we have watched the characters grow both as individuals and together as they have fought their way through all that has been thrown at them. All the lies and deceit, the twists and turns and the mystery and mayhem have made them so much stronger together.

It’s a little sad to say goodbye to these characters as we have been through so much together but everything must come to an end and Lindsay ended it well.

Violet Blood is the 4th book in the Murder in Savannah Series by Lindsay Marie Miller, and also the final book in this amazing series that I have grown to love. Following Addie and Tom, seeing them grow as characters in these book have been amazing. So many ups and downs have shaped them throughout this whole series. So many secrets have been ousted, so many discoveries along the way. The road to this book has not always been easy and sometimes very dangerous. The book again grabbed me and held me to the end just as the others before this one, but as I kept getting closer to the end, I dreaded it since I knew I would be saying goodbye to Addie and Tom.
Lindsay Marie Miller, you gave us an amazing series that I know I will read many times, because Addie and Tom grew on me and gave them an ending they deserve. I truly cannot wait to read more by this author.

Along with amazing story lines, the characters simply draw you in, beginning with Addie and Tom/ These two disagree so much but when they are back in each other’s arms, the chemistry is unbelievable. This book takes off right where the last one left off and again the necklace is what drives them and leads them through this book and this time they wind up in Paris. Paris where this story really picks up and you really see what Millers book is really about and how well written in really is. The mystery, the suspense, the growing of Tom and Addie.

Here we find some answers left over from book 1 and we are thrown right into the ​danger and action, murder and mystery, thrills and spills. There are a lot of heart stopping moments that keeps you engaged from beginning to end. The plots just keep throwing up more drama and twists that keep you guessing. There is a lot happening and everything is not as it seems. The betrayal and secrets and lies, just keeps on coming as we learn more and more about these characters. The story continues at a fast pace that has you wondering what’s going to happen next and who will survive.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the next book.

There is more drama and twists that keep you guessing even when you thought things would be different. There are more betrayals, secrets and lies that leave you guessing and then we are left with a huge cliffhanger that will leave you frustrated.

Honey Gold was intriguing 4 stars read for my first book by Lindsay Marie Miller. As this is the second book in the Murder in Savannah series; I didn’t know that this series needs to be read in order. The blurb is what had me wanting to read this book; so I might have been a little confused in the beginning.

The writing and the “What will Happen Next” feel throughout the book, is what kept me turning the pages. There are little storylines in this book besides just the main story. I definitely will be going back to read the first book to fill in some gaps. I really want to know more about Tom and Addie. I’m looking forward to reading more of Tom and Addie’s story.

Island Smile: An Action Adventure Romance (Stranded in Paradise, #2)Island Smile: An Action Adventure Romance by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Island Smile is the second book in the Stranded in Paradise by Lindsay Marie Miller. It is an action romance story where lives are destroyed thanks to one evil and selfish person. The action and mayhem starts almost right from the get go, where something that should be a wonderful and joyous occasion is overthrown by evil and horrific events. When faced with something from their past our main characters are in shock with what they see and what it will mean for them. Of course waiting for the devil to show his true colours doesn’t take long and everyone is thrown into chaos and find themselves in a place they never thought they would see again.

The romance in this story is not in the forefront of the book, the story mainly focuses on the action and boy does it have action. If you like action/romance, this book is definitely for you.

Coastal Spirit: An Action Adventure Romance (Stranded in Paradise, #3)Coastal Spirit: An Action Adventure Romance by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The third book to the Stranded in Paradise Trilogy brings us new characters and reunites us with the old ones. Elaine and Henry are still fighting for their lives to get off the island and this time Henry’s sister, Louisa is with them. At the end of book 2 a volcano has erupted and Henry and Elaine barely have the strength to stand thanks to the beating from Judas. Somehow Elaine finds more of her inner strength and is able to get them to safety.

I really liked the adventure these characters took, even though it wasn’t an adventure they chose. In the first story, Jungle Eyes, I found Elaine a little unsettled and possibly bi polar. However, in Coastal Spirit, she is matured, level headed and ready to take on the evil Judas and Frederic. I like the growth this character has taken. I like the twist and surprise that comes with Frederic and with Captain Scarlett. I know there has to be more to his story.

The only thing that really bothered me in this book was that there didn’t seem like enough worry about Lily. I’m not sure if Elaine just put Lily out of her mind in order to survive but I kept thinking, “What about Lily?” “Who’s got Lily?” Thankfully by the end of the story Lily’s situation is revealed.

I highly recommend this book but it is not a standalone. You must start with Jungle Eyes. I can’t wait to see what else Lindsay Marie Miller has in store.

Island Smile: An Action Adventure Romance (Stranded in Paradise, #2)Island Smile: An Action Adventure Romance by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 2 in the Stranded in Paradise series is full of surprises! Some good and some not so much! Lindsay Marie Miller can write a story that draws a reader right in. Sometimes a reader wants to be the main character but I am reserving that idea for the happily ever after that is sure to come…right? Please.

The ending of Island Smile leaves everyone, characters and readers alike, wondering what is going to happen! Who will survive the island?! HOW will they survive?! Does anyone ever really die on the island?

Remember this series is set in the 1900’s so men and women were still learning that women could do more than just look pretty. Elaine and Louisa are girl power for sure! I loved the characters in this story so much better than in book one. Elaine seemed a little unsettled, I believe I said bi-polar, during Jungle Eyes. This story has her level headed and determined. I like this version of her better. Henry, her husband, is the protective, loving husband he should be. A little full of rage but really I do not blame him one bit. I also love the character of Louisa, Henry’s sister. We met her in book one, but she has a much bigger part in this story. I can only wonder what is going to happen in the next book.

I am looking forward to reading Coastal Spirit and highly recommend you read this series, starting with book one, Jungle Eyes.

Jungle Eyes: An Action Adventure Romance (Stranded in Paradise, #1)Jungle Eyes: An Action Adventure Romance by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story is an interesting adventure. The time is the late 1800’s and times call for mothers to marry off their children, hoping for happiness, wealth and maybe even love. Henry’s mother is the epitome of all mothers from that time. Henry, however, is not interested in marriage or even listening to his mother talk on and on about the young girls all over town. Henry’s friend, Charlie, has enlisted to join a group of men for an adventure overseas. Little do they know the fate that awaits them. When Henry washes up on a deserted island, he never dreams he would meet another human being, much less, Elaine.

These two characters… whoa. Their relationship makes me just a little crazy. I guess Elaine was young when she landed on the island and having been alone for so long would make a person a little unsettled. She seems to me a little bi-polar. I can certainly see why she behaves the way she does. I can’t wait to see where Miller takes these two. I am looking forward to a wild adventure!

I have read other books by Lindsay Marie Miller and her books are a little fantasy, a little adventure, a little romance and in this story a little mystery at the ending!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jungle Eyes is the first book in the Stranded in Paradise trilogy by Lindsay Marie Miller. It is an action adventure/ historical romance. The story starts off a bit slow but builds up as we are faced with danger and fear, drama and twists and turns as there is shipwrecks and pirates, murder and mystery.There are moments where you find yourself laughing or sighing when something touched you and moments when your heart breaks. The relationship between our main characters is frustrating at times and was a little frustrating to follow but it is a slow burning love story on a tropical paradise, or is it?

Lindsay is good at setting a scene. I wonder where the next book takes us.

“How many lives did they have left? How many more times could they cheat death? How many days remained on the island for them to survive?”

 

Coastal Spirit is the third and final book in the Stranded in Paradise trilogy by Lindsay Marie Miller. It’s a great action adventure- with an historical timeline and elements, and suspense, danger, drama, tension, romance and angst. While I have loved this series, as a whole, I did have a couple of minor issues with this book that kept pulling me out of the story and disrupting the flow- which in turn kept me from loving it quite as much as the first two. But I still enjoyed it, and found out how the series concluded!
We jump in pretty much where Island Smile left off. Where the climactic ending left us on tenterhooks wondering how the characters were going to survive the crisis. Henry, Elaine, and Louisa are trying to survive – pitting themselves against the jungle, mother nature, and sinister foes. They have cheated death so many times already, and none of them are sure that their luck would hold out or whether they would finally succumb to all the dangers lurking on the island. We catch up with familiar characters, as well as meeting new ones. Henry, Elaine and Louisa have to try to figure out who they can trust, as well as finding a way off the island, and getting home.
There is quite a lot going on in this story that had me on the edge of my seat. There were some very emotional times, and then there were moments of tenderness, humour, and sheer anger. Some of the push/pull, stubborn pride, and angst, was sooooo frustrating. There were more than a few times where I wanted to shake some sense into them all!
Ms. Miller will continue to be one of my go to authors and I look forward to reading her next book.

Thank you, Ms Miller!

Single (Love in Seattle, #1)Single by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had high hopes for this story since I have read a few of LMM’s other books. And of course she didn’t let me down. Good story. Would have been a great story if the main characters, Graham and Jessie, had a (Better) relationship outside of the bedroom. In the bedroom, these two were on fire. LMM did a great job of leading us to the bedroom scene and letting our imaginations take over. I would be interested in reading Graham’s side of this story.

The tone through most of this book makes me feel like something bad is going to happen, something that can’t be fixed. I was anxious most of the time…waiting. Yes Jessie had a bad childhood but it wasn’t devastating enough, at least to me, for her to be SO untrusting.

Overall I really did like this story. Graham is sweet and forgiving, Jessie is smart and just wants someone to love her, someone that will stay. Even the best friends, Sean and Sara are fun to read about. (Will they get their own story?)

This story has me stalk…err… following Miller to see what and who is next!! I can definitely recommend this story and author.

The Girl in the Woods (Murder in Savannah, #0.5)The Girl in the Woods by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Girl in the Woods by Lindsay Marie Miller ​is a prequel novella and takes you back to the start of where it all began. It is a very short and very quick read. This story is told by our main character, Tom’s point of view. Tom has lead a sheltered life being raised and taught by his grandfather. One night he finds a girl in the woods, now years later he finally meets this mysterious girl and his life is changed forever.

Lindsay has written a story that is sweet, mysterious and intriguing and I am really looking forward to seeing where this story goes.

Honey Gold (Murder in Savannah, #2) by Lindsay Marie Miller – Review by Shannon Fowler

Honey Gold (Murder in Savannah, #2)Honey Gold by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ohhh how the plot thickens with book 2! You must read book one, Emerald Green, to be able to follow the adventure. Honey Gold continues where Emerald Green left off. Sneaky, slimy bad guys, dead bodies, and oh man that necklace! What can Addie and Tom do! Honestly I would have been happy if Addie had smashed it into a million pieces!

Lindsay Marie Miller pulls you into this crazy world with characters you want to just hug and some you just want to kill…again. We are lead to believe many things during this portion of the series. It seems like Tom and Addie have figured out how to be together…but then Miller gives them something else to worry about. Oh how I love Eric and Jeanine! Of course if it is too good to be true then it probably isn’t. Miller doesn’t want any of these characters to have an easy time! Eric and Jeanine have so much to work through, I think even more than Addie and Tom!

There did seem like a few gaps in the story. For example, during their time at the beach house. I felt like Tom and Addie were only there for the necklace. Didn’t anything else happen there? I believe this story could have used a little more romance and the beach house would have been a perfect place for a little more loving…but then I remember that Addie, Tom, Eric, Jeanine and many other characters in this series are just 15-17 years old. While, yes they are experiencing true love, first love and even an intense kind of love, they are still just teenagers.

I am looking forward to reading what Miller has in store for this group of young people. Will the necklace be the end all? Will there ever be a happy ending!?

Pearl White (Murder in Savannah, #3) by Lindsay Marie Miller – Review by Shannon Fowler

Pearl White (Murder in Savannah, #3)Pearl White by Lindsay Marie Miller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love to write notes and my thoughts while reading a good book. So here are a few thoughts, of course edited for sensitive eyes.

Are you kidding me with that ending!?! Just when I thought we had a happy ending…that ding dang necklace shows up! What is it? How? Just smash it! And all those evil people and the betrayal that Addie has to deal with! So not fair! Do not throw the phone! Do not throw the phone! Just keep reading! The end is near!

Ok so Lindsay Marie Miller sucked me into Addie’s adventure and still has me all twisted up! I really liked this story much more than the first two, so I cannot wait to read the next one…there is a next one right Miller?!? Remember that ending? So yeah…the next one…please.

The same main characters are in this story because the adventure is not over. Addie still seems wishy washy to me especially at the beginning. She is still a 17-18 yr old young woman with only herself to guide her, so I have given her a little more leeway in her actions and mixed up emotions. Tom was so much more lovable and believable through most of this book. This book does explain a few things that were left questionable in books one and two. But as I said before, that ending! Now there are a few more questions!

If you want to read this book (you really do want to!) you must have already read the first two books or you will not know what the heck is going on. So I am definitely recommending this book, series and author!
