Three years before 'Throwing Light' begins, Tom and Grace find themselves thrust together at the wedding of their old friend, David. Grace is trying hard to ignore her inappropriate crush on her best friend's big brother, but when he starts to flirt with her, she wonders if tonight will be her opportunity to finally act on her hidden feelings.

A super quick read of a short prequel to K A Servian’s upcoming novel, THROWING LIGHT. Just enough of a hint into Grace Southern’s life that makes us want to come back for more to see what happens with Tom! A nice teaser!

I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Holden by Delores Fossen
Series: The Lawmen of Silver Creek Ranch

When a baby goes mising, a Texas marshal and a woman from his past discover there's a whole lot more behind this kidnapping…

Holden Ryland certainly didn't become a marshal just to end up busting his ex, Nicky Hart, for taking files from Conceptions Fertility Clinic. But only Nicky knows just what was really stolen: a newborn being held for ransom. A newborn who is kin to both her and Holden. The missing boy is only the start of a mystery that snakes through Texas, winding its way through their families. Bad blood may linger between them, but Holden can protect his nephew back at the Silver Creek Ranch. If they can lay their past to rest to rescue this child, is it possible for them to have a future together?

A ring of blackmail and deception makes up the plot of Delores Fossen’s latest in The Lawmen of Silver Creek series! We’re drawn in quickly and go through twists and turns with them to see if they will get to the bottom of the mystery! If you’re a follower of this series, you will have no problem recognizing all of the various characters who come through for back-up … if you’re new to the series, it will seem overwhelming to try to keep all the brothers and cousins straight. Don’t even worry about it, as they are only minor players in this book .. and if you want to get to know them each in their own right, go back and pick up the earlier books in the series to enjoy! 🙂

US Marshal Holden Ryland never expects to be going after his ex for stealing files from a fertility clinic, and when he shows up at her door and gets the story behind it, he understands why she’s been risking life and limb to get the answers she needs!

Nicky Hart never set out to hurt Holden or his family, so the bad blood between them doesn’t set well with her … but she’ll put aside their differences if she can get him to help her find a missing baby … a baby that’s related to them both!

The unwilling Ricci wife…

Angelina's world is shattered when Lorenzo Ricci walks through the door of her engagement party and demands she call off the wedding—because she's still married to him! She left the formidable Italian to save her heart, but now, with her family business at stake, Angelina must consider his terms…

In need of an heir, Lorenzo will use any means to reclaim his wayward wife and return her to their marriage bed. He'll make her debts disappear if she repays him…in desire! The chemistry may be alive and well between them, but can they survive their tempestuous reunion unscathed?

An exciting read filled with a mixture of turmoil and emotions!

Angelina Carmichael has her world turned upside down at her engagement party when her ex-husband shows up to tell her that they are still married and she will be returning to his bed to fulfill her duties as his wife … or he’ll ruin her father!

Lorenzo Ricci can’t stand the fact that Angie walked out on him all those years ago, and now that he needs an heir and finds out that they are conveniently still married, what better way to get one than to bring his wayward wife back home?

These two produce fireworks when they are in each other’s vicinity. Will they actually be able to calm down and listen to each other to make their marriage work, or will it be all be a repeat of history with them pushing each other away again?

So Right: A Ribbon Ridge Novel by Darcy Burke
Series: Love on the Vine Book 2

Kelsey McDade realizes that her love life is one and done. Her last—and only—relationship left her broken and afraid and more than ready to be alone for the long haul. But sexy-charming vineyard manager Luke Westcott pushes all of her buttons in the right way and makes her wonder if she ought to try again.

In nearly twenty-eight years, Luke’s most successful romance has been with the outdoors. Currently single, he’s happy to pour all of his energy into his new winery until Kelsey provokes feelings he didn’t know he was capable of. He can envision their future together—if she’ll let down her guard.

When the ghost of Kelsey’s past causes her to slam on the brakes, Luke is ready to fight for her, even if it means sacrificing himself in the process. Convinced she’s only made wrong choices in the past, Kelsey must decide if Luke—and their love—is worth the greatest risk of all.

A wounded soul and a loner … end up being a match made in heaven! I just love Darcy Burke’s Ribbon Ridge novels and adding the Westcott’s into the mix with the Love On The Vine series is a lot of fun to read!

Vineyard manager Luke Westcott has spent most of his life alone and enjoying the great outdoors. Although he loves his family dearly, he’s just happiest with his solitude. Working with his brothers and friend to run this winery has been a great venture so far, and he’s looking forward to nurturing the vines for years to come. What he doesn’t need is a woman … no matter how much his mom nags.

Librarian Kelsey McDade has come to love Ribbon Ridge and the friends she has made over the couple of years she’s been settled here, but she still keeps a lot of herself reigned in and private. No one knows the torture she went through with her ex-boyfriend, and she likes it that way. She doesn’t want anyone to know how broken she really is.

When Luke and Kelsey find themselves innocently flirting with each other every time they cross paths, it’s a surprise. Neither of them want a relationship … but can they ignore the draw they have towards each other? Will she be able to share her secrets with him? And can she ever truly trust a man again?
