The Heart of Baker Bay by Danielle Jacks – Review by Trish Ann

The Heart of Baker BayThe Heart of Baker Bay by Danielle Jacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a quick, sweet read. It did take a little bit to get into but once I did, I really enjoyed the story. I liked the development of how Adam’s walls were built due to having his heart broken by an outsider yet Jody, an outsider, helped tear them down. Jody’s struggle with confidence is understandable especially with having the type of relationship she had with her older sister. I would definitely read more books by this author.

Beginnings and Endings: A Selection of Short StoriesBeginnings and Endings: A Selection of Short Stories by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a set of three short stories. Each one has their own easy to read plot. The first is a happy love story between to college students. The second is a haunting but realistic story of a soldier back from war. The third is a happy but also a tragic story of a father and son trip to a carnival and farm. All three of these short stories I can see being built on and added to other books or becoming books of their own. The author wrote them well and I can’t wait to read more in the future! If you want some small quick stories to read these ones are great!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book. This is a new author for me and I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is the first book in this series and I can’t wait to see what is next in this series. I found this book to be a well written story that has a little bit of everything in it. It is full of mystery, action and even a little romance. The characters brought the story to life and kept me turning pages. This is an engaging story that I had a hard time putting down. This is a story about Nash who is a Marine returning home and not expecting to meet Betsy. She is falling for him. This is where the story takes on suspense and mystery. I enjoyed the chemistry and growth throughout this story with these two. The attraction is there from the beginning. Nash is a hurt Marine but Betsy has her own fears that must be overcome. What happens to these two you will have to read this book to find out. It really is a great story that I enjoyed and I highly recommend it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Code Of Honour Series. It was a really enjoyable book. Even though it is part of a series it can be read and enjoyed on its own.  I love the characters. The author does an amazing job of making character’s you fall in love with. The story itself is fast paced and you can’t put it down because you want to find out what happens to the characters.

Feeling things he hasn’t before he sets out to find her. What he finds is a woman who is caught and stuck behind her sisters shadow. With Holts help can Jody  break free from her bossy attention demanding sister? Can Holt show her how to fly? Could Holt have finally found the woman that is going to keep him grounded and out of the skies?

Georgia Clay (Southern Promises Book 1) by KG Fletcher – Review by Sheri Schrader

Georgia Clay (Southern Promises, #1)Georgia Clay by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Georgia Clay by KG Fletcher is the first book in the Southern Promises series. I really enjoyed reading the story of a romance between a country music writer and a career-minded woman. The two seem an unlikely pair but it develops from a long night of talking to a long-distance romance. Can Georgia Clay and Katie Parker make their differences work? I liked these characters because they are not just young, beautiful, and talented but still have a realness to them. There are struggles and moments of being unsure but the two matches each other well. I read through this quickly and did not want to put it down until I finished the story. I appreciate the author putting so much of herself into the book with her knowledge of the music business in Nashville to create a realistic and engaging read. I look forward to where this series goes next and reading more from this author soon.

Unlikely in Love (A Parker Lake Novel Book 1) by Olivia Sherwood – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Unlikely in Love (A Parker Lake Novel Book 1)Unlikely in Love by Olivia Sherwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a series I am going to have to finish from start to finish. I loved it truly with all my soul. The characters were beyond relatable, and that normally is something I will go out of my way to find for representation in my self when reading a book. And I basically was more than drawn with relations both to the main characters. This story was beautiful, emotional, and worth every page with every word I read.

I must have a say in the way the story flowed, the author knew certainly how to draw her readers in, tease them with some nice treats, and lead them more down the rabbit hole of the book. I had a few nights of not sleeping so I went to read, I told myself again and again just a few more pages, and those turned into a few more chapters, and that turned into oh would you look at that, I fished the book!

SO Yes Indeed Wyatt and Annabelle were relatable to me. They had hardships, but not just any hardships, it was events they had each gone thru in their life times that shaped them to be who they are today along with their wounded hearts. The ability to prevent themselves from finding love and trust in someone, or let alone using those two words in the same sentence. They did not have a fairy tale romance experience, but perhaps this second encounter of coming back into one another’s life, perhaps there was something stull burning that they felt was burned out long ago?

Yes they had their similarities, and both were quite strong willed. I found they both were also as fragile as a fortune cookie. But what both of them didn’t know, is not how much they wanted, but how much they needed one another Not just in their lives, but to fix their hearts that both have been wronged so much before and to finally, give their hearts a chance to heal and feel again.

This book helped me reflect on my past relationships. The memories they brought me, the the sad and emotional times, and the hurt and trust issues I had gained from them. And how it made me not want to find love as I felt it was easier not to get hurt. I met my now husband by a sheer chance of fate, and I learned when you have a chance to male a leap and feel all you need even how afraid you are, just hold your breath and take that jump.

Annabelle and Wyatt had to do just that. It wasn’t easy to gallop or walk down the road from both their ends, but in the end they had a connection they could not deny and they chose the path that was best for them and learned from this experience, not just about themselves, but about life, love, and to trust their hearts, for when its telling you something, even though how scary and crazy it may sound you are best to trust your heart fully with no doubts.

This was a inspirational, beautiful, captivating, as well as moving series. It brought on a lot of smiles and emotions for me. I’m so happy I read this book and walked in Wyatt’s and Annabelle’s shoes, I learned a lot not just about them, but about myself as well as realizing how lucky I am to be married to the love of my life.

Amazing start to a series. I can not wait for the next one as I will be anxiously waiting for the next book. This author knows how to write and bring forth beautiful writing and a beautiful story.

Thank you Olivia Sherwood for this beautiful start to series, that truly has captured my heart!

Unlikely In Love
A Parker Lake Novel Book 1
By Olivia Sherwood
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
Full romance novel, filled with fun, laughter and a few tears to make it complete. Annabelle Cleaver is 27, loves her granny to the ends of the earth. When she was alone, it was granny to the rescue. Now she is listening to the lawyer tell her granny’s last will. Being the lady she is, she will follow the letter to the last hot pink detail. Just as her life is already a complete mess, in comes her high school crush. He has come looking for a job. Can she get her life back on track and help out the damaged veteran?
Wyatt Hallway has returned home from the service, a damaged soul. Life will never be the same, as he has seen and done some things that he feels are unforgivable. Yet on the other hand, he is making the best of what is left. He has a loving family, and a smart niece, that keeps him on his toes. After hearing a friend needs help on her farm, he offers to help. But life has unexpected roads to follow. Can he follow his dreams as well? Can he find love and heal from his nightmares? Only reading this book will tell.
Olivia Sherwood has written one of the best love stories. In my humble opinion. Her characters both have broken hearts. She has taken these two unlikely souls and brought them together. This page turner will keep your interest intrigued, and keep you turning those pages. This book has it all. It’s funny to the point of laughing out loud, and a struggle that will keep you on the edge. This is just a good Ole fashion love story. I love this author and her characters. Hope you do too!

Unlikely in Love (A Parker Lake Novel Book 1)Unlikely in Love by Olivia Sherwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unlikely in Love was the first book I’ve read by Ashlie Knapp and I fell in love with it from the beginning. Told in dual POV of Annabelle and Wyatt, we see each of their inner feelings and turmoil they go through.
Annabelle gets the surprise of a lifetime when the lawyer reads her grandmothers will and states the amount of money she’s been in the dark about. When she gets asked by Wyatt if she needs help on the farm, she’s shocked and also instantly attracted. She guards her heart and he hides his pain. Can she move past the mistakes she’s made?
Wyatt is a war hero and deemed not ready for work, but that doesn’t stop his dads meddling. As he works on Annabelle’s farm, and then starts to date her, he’s happy again. When Annabelle’s nice gesture backfires, he needs a few days alone. But the pain of not seeing her is worse than he expected. Can they move forward?
Who knew Annabelle’s crazy grandma could essentially bring these two together even if she’s no longer here. I loved these two and their friends as well, I was laughing along with them all.
These two were so different and they complimented each other well. I can’t wait to read more from this author and I hope maybe we see someone for Griff??!!

Bad Man on Campus (Big Men on Campus Book 3) by Stephanie Queen – Review by Tracy Wilkin

Bad Man on Campus (Big Men on Campus #3)Bad Man on Campus by Stephanie Queen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bad Man on Campus is book three in the Big Men on Campus series by Stephanie Queen. This high quality second chance romance was often hard to read as it pulled on the old heart strings, but easy to relate to. These characters were high school sweethearts who lost their way. Life was often cruel and my heart hurt for Glory. I got the feeling that both were missing pieces of themselves. Tragedy reigned, but love triumphed. They were given another chance at that elusive ever after.

Bad Man on Campus was a scorching hot read that will arouse and astound. A gripping tale that left fond memories. 4 stars

Brooke May’s second book, Taking Flight in the Code of Honor series is a military romance story that it is so easy to get lost in. Brooke’s characters are written in such a way that you become fully invested in them and so immersed in their lives. Brooke is one of those authors that you see her name and you just have to have the book. Grab a drink and settle in for a while and relax into this sweet story.

Fame isn’t all it’s cracked up to be even if you aren’t the star and Military life can be hard and some down time gave more than they both thought possible. But the one thing they both can agree on is the freedom to fly.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jane Suen has given us short stories in Beginnings and Endings: A Selection of Short Stories. Even though the stories are very short Jane did not skimp on the descriptive content. Each one is as different as night and day and evoke emotions a little pain, a bit of sweetness and a little bit of fun. Jane has mixed a lot of heart and feels in to make the stories memorable. My only complaint is they were too short. It would be good to see them made into longer stories. And just when you thought you were finished Jane gave us a little added bonus.

This is a book of four short stories which show how beginnings and ending can affect lives.

Story one is a couple sharing breakfast in a cafe, story two is a tale of how love overcomes all obstacles, the third story is a meaningful road trip gone right and the final story is about being picked out of a group.

A delightful selection of short stories which cheers the heart up.

Taking Flight is the second book in the Code of Honor series by Brooke May. Having read quite a few of Ms. May’s books over the past couple of years, I know I can rely on her to provide a captivating story that will pull me in, and tangle me in the lives of her characters as everything unfolds.
Her characters are ‘real’ and relatable- I was completely invested in both the story and the characters. Jody and Holt had me rooting for them right from the beginning. They both so deserved to find their happiness.
This is a superb contemporary military romance, with a little drama, chemistry, and plenty of emotion.
Bring on Book #3!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Brooke May!

Real life has beginnings and endings. Sometimes we must face an end to open our eyes to a beginning. This book contains three short stories that opened my eyes to the way that life just happens. We never know what is out there, but we have to keep searching until we find the right path for ourselves.

In Beginnings and Endings, the short story that spoke to me the most is called “The Accident”. In “The Accident”, there is a couple who are starting their day. The story speaks of all their hopes and dreams which were changed because of an accident. (I’m not giving away the story because it’s much better to read.)

What I did read was good but just felt like it brought new meaning to the word short story lol. This author is not new to me and I have read many books by her and enjoyed just about all of them.

This was my first Williams’ book and I am totally invested in the Pierce brothers! The romance is real, relatable, super slow burn with a little steam, and what healthy relationships look like. I’ve always been a fan of friends-to-lovers, but the nice guys always get me! I’ve been married to my best friend for 22 years and really enjoyed reading about love blooming between two amazing people. Most modern romance stories have a ton of angst and unhealthy behaviors, but Williams kept these super well-developed characters on a healthy path but allowed real life and real hurts to shape how they came to their HEA. I can’t wait until book 2, I don’t know why but I’m feeling more angst, more snark, and possibly more steamy bits scattered in!!

Taking Flight (Code of Honor Book 2)Taking Flight by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hidden in the shadows of her identical twin sister’s pursuit of fame and neglected by her family in their pursuit to fulfill her sister’s every whim, Jody gets fed up with putting her life on hold while fulfilling a contract to keep her sister’s career going.

After meeting Holt, a military pilot, while being mistaken for her famous sister, Jody realizes just how much she wants out of the life she’s trapped in to go after her own dreams. Jilly uses and abuses everyone around her like a spoiled brat, ignores fans, and causes everyone around her (especially Jody) to clean up the messes she makes as she acts out. After a mixup in his pursuit of Jody, Holt is maybe the first person to ever refuse Jilly and then stand up to her on Jody’s behalf.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and mistakenly read it before the first in the series. It works well as a standalone read, though, and now that I’ve finished the first book, as well, I find the only addition it really provides to this story is a little more backstory to Holt’s childhood friendships with people referenced in this book.

The author does a great job of sucking you into the storyline early on and keeping your interest as the mishaps, mistaken identity and chance meetings weave into a love story that’s romantic and heroic without making Jody into a damsel in distress and in need of rescue. This is less relatable than the first book in the series, which I’ve determined is one of my favorite reads in a while, but mostly because of Jilly’s fame, bratty behavior, and everyone around her caving to her every whim without check. Still a really solid story, though, and a recommended read.

If you see me running away to Nashville to fall in love don’t question why! This book was the ideal romance. From the beginning that brings Clay and Katie together in a simple and flawless way, to the very end where EVERYTHING works out. There were a couple of times the author had me ready to throw my phone against the wall thinking that everything was going to go wrong. Of course with the hanging suspense it made the book all the better. The romance, the sexual tension, the southern boy, the family connections made this book phenomenal. Watching Katie and Clay come together and get their happy ending was honestly so fun!! I cannot wait for sequel. I would love to follow Heart or Katie and Clay in the future.
