Gone Country (Cousins Gone #1)Gone Country by Katrina Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this romance. It was very sweet and I loved the mixture of city girl and country boy. The character of Stella is great. And her personality as well as Johnny’s playfulness just jumps out of the pages

Stella is a focused confident woman with her eye on the prize(her promotion) in the city however when she moves to the country for the opportunity to run her own branch her life gets turned upside down and inside out. Stella doesn’t have time for romance but that all changes when she meets mechanic Johnny. With his cheeky playful nature she finds herself drawn to him.
However Johnny has been hurt in the past and guards his heart. As things look like they are going to work between Stella and Johnny a spanner gets thrown into the works in the form of Johnny’s ex partner, who isn’t too happy about how close Stella and Johnny are getting.

I loved Gone Country by Katrina Marie. It was such a sweet, easy to read, love story. The chemistry between the main characters was so real, you could feel it from the book. I am looking forward to more books by this author and more from this series. I love happily ever after, romantic books with great characters and a great story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gone Country by Katrina Marie is the first book in the Gone in Love series. Stella has worked long hours, sometimes even missing out on fun plans with her cousins Audrey and Tiffany. The three of them have been more like sisters ever since they were young and spent summers together and now as adults have moved to Austin, Texas, to live near each other. When Stella is given the opportunity to prove herself to her employer but needs to relocate by moving to a small town. Will this small town reminiscent of sheer Stella grew up change her mind about living in the city or will something else make her stay?
This book was well written and I throughly enjoyed reading it. Looking forward to reading the other books in this series. I hope you love it as much as I did.

5/5 Stars

Gone Country (Gone in Love) by Katrina Marie

This is the first book by Marie. Gone Country is about a city girl who moves to a small country town. She meets and falls in love with a mechanic.

Stella moves from Austin to Asheville for her job. She leaves behind her two cousins and best friends. On her first night there she meets her true love. The one who will ease her stress away at the end of the night. The quote I chose for Stella is: “And put some damn clothes on.”

Johnny is headed home after his friend cancels on him. He finds a beautiful woman stranded on the side of the road. He does suggest casual dating, but it doesn’t last long. The quote I chose for Johnny is: “Yep. She inherited it from her father when he passed away. When he owned it, it was just another bar where the local drunks hung out. Then Angie took over and gutted the inside, updating everything in here so she could open back up. She’s actually the one who renamed it. Kind of like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. She said she wanted to turn it from something ugly to a beautiful place where guys would be proud to take their dates. I have to say, there have been fewer bar fights since she became the owner.”

Highly recommended for Romantic Comedy lovers.

The Boss Prince (It's Raining Royals, #1)The Boss Prince by Alix Nichols
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Boss Prince by Alix Nichols is a good romance novel. It has just the right amount of magic and romance to make it feel attainable yet still fantasy. I do wish the prophecy was explained a little better because I am not entirely sure about Mount Evor and MINDFUCH and what feels like magic, but the romance was excellent and detailed!

Following The Key to the Key and Max, we see a good amount of back and forth. Lucie refuses to get involved in another boss and Max has more important things to worry about than a girl to warm his bed. But reading their feelings as they both tottle along their feelings was heartwarming and very sweet! Sometimes a little steamy too 😉 This was a very good book! I can’t wait to continue this series!

Light, fun read
This is my first book by Alex Nicolas and it did not disappoint. It was a really enjoyable quick-read rom-com that ticked all the boxes. I connected quickly with Lucie and Max, their adventures were comical. The world this was set was so intriguing (& hilarious) with its own royalty and customs, and I am keen to learn more as I delve into the rest of the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Gone Country by Katrina Marie to me is a great book that should belong as a Hallmark Movie! I can see the whole thing played out on film. She’s a city girl who her only dating is her job and getting a promotion. In order for this promotion, she will have to go out in the country to complete the task. Well in the process of getting there alone, she ends up with bad luck, but that bad luck leads her to a sexy country boy who was sweet to help her out. He ended up needing to help her out more, and in many ways! The friendships, family, love, and drama in this book play out so good and I want to give Katrina a hoot and holler for this book! It was something I needed to read when I had a bad day.

Gone Country (Gone in Love) by Katrina Marie is possibly one of the most amazing romance novels that I have ever read. This is my first read by Ms. Katrina Marie but with her amazing plot, terrific characters, and great word building she will quickly find her way to my favorite author list. I was drawn to this novel by the cover and it’s been on my tbr list for a couple of weeks, but I’m so glad I finally got to read this amazing book. Stella is amazing, hard working, and smart but what happens when mr. tall dark and handsome Johnny walks into her life? Johnny is hard working, handsome, and has some issues of his own to deal with, will Stella be able to repair what once was broken? You’ll have to read that funny, intense romance to find out.

This was a fantastic book to read if you love romantic comedies. The main couple of characters are hilarious and full of wit and charm. This was a quick read for me because once I started reading I couldn’t put it down. I had to find out what was going to happen with the two of them and their relationship. And the cast around them, mostly the cousins, were phenomenal. I was wishing that I had cousins like them. I thought the author did a great job with the writing and detail to make me imagine this was taking place in my hometown even though it wasn’t. She kept me interested until the very end. And she has my anticipation high for the next book in the series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I must say, this was a very happy and fun read to engage in upon reading! From the start to the main plot concept to the character introductions I was defiantly hooked. It was impossible not to get hooked in with the drama or the funny moments going on as the book progressed its plot!

The story of this book was so sweet and full of heart for sure. I loved the story as well as the characters. It was a fun and light hearted read for me to enjoy. I’m a country girl at heart so this book defiantly felt like home to be in more ways than one. I loved it! The story of city girl with big dream, doesn’t plan on finding the most amazing guy ever, Will it come down to having to make her choose one or the other perhaps? I think you will have to read this one to find out!

Johnny and Stella were for sure two different, but special characters. Johnny reminded me of my husband, Sweet, good soul, and good with his hands in more than one way maybe haha. Stella was a girl with her head on her shoulders well, but not prepared for what life can throw at her. She was fun to read and her alone gave me a lot of chuckles as I read. It was comical in a good way to read about her and Johnny and time together and the events they faced. It was a good and fun read for me!

The book was very enjoyable and as I have said gave a lot of heart and then some! I really enjoyed this first book in a series. I was very happy reading this and I will for sure be enjoying more from this wonderful author! I highly suggest you read it, you will for sure enjoy yourself as much as I did!

This book took me by surprise, a beautifully written Rom Com with a bit of a twist. Lucie is such a likable character, and the fun chemistry between her and Max is a joy to read. A enjoyable light-hearted read with some humour and mystery thrown in. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good Romantic Comedy.

This was a good 4 star read.
It did take me some time to get pulled into the story as I got to know the characters.
Lucie is a hard worker and when she is offered a job after an interview, that had me LOL at times with the questions she meets her new boss Max. Max is a Prince unbeknownst to Lucie and he is looking for a key. Will Lucie be able to help Prince Max find what he is looking for?

Overall this was a read that had humor, steaminess and more. The characters grew on me and I loved them by the end. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I look forward to reading more from this series. 1-click and get started today.

I wasn’t so sure about it, when I started reading Alix Nichols book The Boss Prince. I was wondering where it was going to go. I’m glad I kept at it because it was definitely good. Wonderfully written character arcs to go with an interesting world Alix Nichols created.
Max, a prince of Mount Evor, has been tasked on a mission to find the first of nine keys to save their secluded country from being dissolved. Lucie, the key to finding the key Max needs to work with to succeed. Based on the prophecy that came upon his mother.
The light humor Alix Nichols gives Max, despite his royal background, made him a little and airy presence that made me love his character. Lucie written in a typical slapstick personality that I can relate too, being that’s the type of person I am! With the backdrop of France throughout most of the story, it was refreshing to read something different taking place on foreign soil to me.
I look forward to keeping up with this series and the quests to find the other 8 keys!

The Boss Prince was exactly what it promised to be. It was fun, flirty, and mysterious. With that being said, I thought it was okay. It was a fun ride with steamy moments. But the heroine is a little too gullible for me. She also devolved from a responsible adult to reckless but in an irresponsible way. Like you are SO handsome, of course I will break the law for you! It was a good idea, and it was a fun read, but not my cup of tea. So if you are looking for a light-hearted, easy read, give it a shot!

Gone Country (Gone in Love) by Katrina Marie is a sweet romantic story that is a fairly quick and easy to read. This is the kind of book that you would lose yourself in for a few hours. It is light hearted and fun from start to finish.
It took me a little while to connect with the characters in this book. Their meeting was a little abrupt which I found a bit disconcerting but as the story progressed I found that I had become invested in them.
This is the first book that I have read by this author but I’m sure it won’t be the last.

Gone Country (Cousins Gone #1)Gone Country by Katrina Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have never hidden nor denied the fact that my heart and soul belong in the countryside. I was born and raised in the ‘county’ and wouldn’t have it any other way. I have spent my fair share of living in cities, but it’s never really felt like home. This novel really revolves around the mixed feelings that Stella feels when it comes to moving from her big home city of Austin, to a small little Podunk town of Asheville. Not only is she leaving the hustle and bustle, but also her cousins, which she describes are more like sisters in every capacity. I truly enjoyed getting to know Stella, as well as understanding her bond with her cousins Audrey, and Tiffany. Katrina Marie does an amazing job at incorporating the importance of girlfriends, as well as being able to own the independence that lays beneath the surface.

Now, Johnny, on the other hand, sounds like my type of man! The perfect gentleman, but has that alpha side to him that just, for lack of a better description, makes me, and obviously Stella, swoon. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the characters and being able to really picture the scene where the story is set, and the small town ‘family’ that Stella is welcomed into almost immediately. Of course, it’s not always super easy, and people have history, and past relationships, which Stella and Johnny navigate as best they can, especially within such a whirlwind romance. Overall, thought predictable, while reading this novel, I had a smile on my face, enjoying all the emotions, and the experience itself. Looking forward to reading more by Ms. Marie!

The Boss Prince: a royal romance with humor and suspense (It’s Raining Royals) by Alix Nichols is a romantic comedy and a wonderful fantasy story with a French twist. It reminds me of those Hallmark movies. This is the first book that I have read by Alix and I found it entertaining, fun and witty, with a little steam. There is a little suspense, intrigue, and mystery in this unknown faraway place. On the hunt for a key, the fun journey begins.
9 keys are key to keeping their little part of the world, so I look forward to reading the other Raining Royals books.

Slow Burn (Breathing Hearts, #2)Slow Burn by A.K. MacBride
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Maddie returns home after her dream of becoming a professional dancer is put on hold. One good thing about moving home to her small town is the view…especially of the neighbor next door. Too bad he has a grumpy attitude to go with those gorgeous looks. Maybe she can turn his frown upside down…

Adam moves to a small town to escape the memories of the past and try to heal. He is weighed down by immense guilt for failing to save his wife. He just wants to live in solitude…but his neighbor’s dog seems to have other ideas.

These two are amazing characters. They are both overcoming different obstacles in their lives. Maddie wants to find the good in Adam…because she sees it…but Adam is determined to keep her away. Thank goodness for her meddling dog! You can feel the emotions come off the pages for both of them and it makes for a beautiful story.

Slow Burn (Breathing Hearts, #2)Slow Burn by A.K. MacBride
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read, I was pulled right in from the beginning.

Maddie has been sneaking peeks at her new neighbor and she finally gets the nerve to approach him and lets just say he was not very receptive, she quickly retreated back to her home. There is something about Maddie that Adam finds soothing and he enjoys secretly watching her dance on the beach. Her fugly dog has also been sneaking over to his house and seems to be growing on him. As the story moves forward they start to grow closer, with little hiccups here and there.

Both Maddie and Adam have things that they are dealing with personally. They seem to have a connection and being together helps ease some of the stress.
Will Maddie get past her issues and finally get her dream job? Will Adam be able to get past his issues and open up to Maddie?

Overall this was a great read. I loved all of the characters, especially the dog. I loved Maddie and her strength, her thoughts about Adam had me LOL at times. We get a bonus chapter at the end along with a sneak peek at the next book in the series. The author does a great job with her writing and I can’t wait to read the next book. 1-click and get started today.

First timer read with this author and this was a great starter!! Adam and Maddie are a couple you root for, and can easily imagine. Maddie is the sweet girl next door who is the good friend and ever loyal supporter. She always sees the good. When Adam moves in next door you can easily describe him as brooding, sexy, and mysterious. While Adam wears a façade wanting to be hidden he finds that wont work with Maddie. As Maddie wears him down they start a slow descent into love, and its a beautiful journey. When something is meant to there wont be anything to hold you back.

Nothing quite like an enemies to lovers romance to round out the summer with! A.K. Macbride does a wonderful job at painting a picture of what trauma does to people and how it affects relationships, specifically the one between Maddie and Adam in this novel.

This author is new to me, but this will not be the last book I will read by them! Now that I’ve read this one I plan to go back and read Instant Heat, but in reading this I did not find it necessary that I needed to read that book first, which was a plus! There are definitely a lot of unanswered questions that I have about both characters after reading this book, particularly addressing the family issues in Maddie’s life. Can’t wait to read more!

This story has everything that an avid romance reader needs, from a brooding man who thinks he doesn’t deserve love, to a girl that proves he does, crazy and intense chemistry, and some funny moments to make the story not to heavy. The characters are amazing, the plot leaves me wanting more, and the authors word building leaves me not being able to wait to read more by this author.

Fantastic story! This is my first book that I read from Author A.K. MacBride and I love this slow burn of a romance. The is the story of Maddie and Adam that is truly an emotional roller coaster. I believe they both do not feel like they deserve love. Maddie is a dancer, but ends up working for her parents hardware store and they are not in full support of Maddie as a dancer. When Maddie is left a beachfront cottage by her grandmother, this is where she meets Adam. He is rude, grumpy, yes full of pain, but when you find out Adam’s story, you have all these feels why. You really root for these two characters and their story. Highly recommended if you love a contemporary romance with a small town feel. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
