One-night miracle…

For the Crown Prince!

In this The Cattaneos’ Christmas Miracles story, rebel royal Max believes his infertility has cost him the throne — until heiress Noemi reveals she’s carrying his baby! And with his country’s future at stake, Max must claim his heir! Noemi is hesitant and fiercely protective of their unborn baby, but at his snow-covered palace can Max offer her the most precious Christmas gift ever — the chance to become a family…

 

Love, marriage and a baby carriage when they least expect it! The latest from Jennifer Faye is a downright delightful read! The characters grabbed my attention quickly and the fast paced, action packed story was addictive. I loved the connection between the characters and the strife involved in getting them to that happily ever after was enthralling. Great read!

Maximilian Steiner-Wolf, crown prince of Ostania believes that a childhood illness has left him unable to produce an heir, which means his brother will advance to the throne, but when he finds out there’s a chance he might be mistaken, he jumps at the chance to find out what his future will hold!

Noemi Cattaneo shared one night of magical passion with Max without knowing who he really was, and when she later finds out she’s pregnant, she knows she has to track him down to let him know. She’s shocked to learn he’s royalty, and is none too happy when he doubts her child is his … but she knows her child deserves to know it’s father, so she’s going to be patient with him while he gets his head wrapped around the facts!

Her rancher boss is looking for the perfect wife…

and she wants the job!

Poppy Sinclair kept her feelings for Isaiah Grayson secret for a decade. When her infuriatingly gorgeous Stetson-wearing boss enlists her help in finding him a convenient wife, she threatens to quit. Until Isaiah counters with an interesting proposal: Why doesn’t she marry him? Can she say yes to sharing his life and his bed, but not his heart?

 

Great connection! She’s feisty, he’s grumpy and set in his ways, but together they somehow work really well! We didn’t get quite as deep into this Copper Ridge story as we usually do when they are a longer book, but I really enjoyed the characters. I hope to see more of them in future books.

Poppy Sinclair has been secretly in love with her surly boss for the decade she’s worked for him, but a riddled past has kept her from making it obvious. She can’t hold her temper now though when he’s demanding she interview women to make him the perfect cookie cutter wife!

Isaiah Grayson isn’t sure why Poppy is so mad at him, but if she’s going to threaten to walk out on him, he’s got to figure out a way to make her happy enough to stay. She doesn’t like interviewing wife candidates? Then maybe she should step up and offer to be one herself!

The bridesmaid, the best man…

A Christmas wedding they’ll never forget!

A year after being jilted, Ava Keller finds herself forced back up the aisle — as bridesmaid at a beautiful Cape Town wedding. Best man — and Ava’s first crush — Noah Giles is the perfect distraction from her painful memories. But their flirtation turns serious when Ava’s feelings for him resurface! Hurt when Noah left after their kiss years before, will Ava give their chemistry a second chance?

 

A delightful read! Full of emotion, this fast paced story is a great read about reconnection, family drama and self development. Each character has a past that has scarred them, yet they each care too much about each other not to want to reach out and grab on to what they’re feeling. One of my favorites by this author for sure!

Ava Keller can’t say that she’s excited for her brother’s upcoming wedding. She adores him and his fiancee, but this wedding is a year almost to the day that she was jilted at the altar herself, so it’s bringing up a lot of unresolved feelings. She’s not sure how she’s going to make it through it all, especially having to walk down that aisle to stand up with them.

Noah Giles comes back into Ava’s life by happenstance, but it’s at just the right time for him to be a buffer between her and the drudgery of all that this wedding entails in her mind. Can they pick up with the attraction they worked so hard to push aside all of those years ago or will he just be a friend in the right place at the right time?

“I’m coming home…

With my bride-to-be.”

Tyler Blackwell just announced that he and Hadley Sullivan are getting married. And they’ve never even dated! Now she and her boss are in Montana so Tyler can sell his family ranch. Hadley only agreed to continue the deception in exchange for a promotion. But moving up the corporate ladder pales beside her growing feelings for Tyler. Will his past and Blackwell family secrets sabotage what Hadley wants more than anything—a real wedding?

 

A fake relationship just might become real as Tyler and Hadley uncover their attraction for each other! Fast paced and attention grabbing. I wasn’t as invested in the connection between these two as I have been with some of the other brothers, but the overall story was still interesting. This entire family and story lion has been great and I’m looking forward to the last brother’s return home!

The last thing Tyler Blackwell wants to be doing is returning home to Falcon Creek, Montana to his family ranch, but his brothers have harassed him for the last time and he can’t avoid it any longer. He’s not willing to come off as a failure though, so he’s taking a fiancee home with him … even if he has to coerce her into going along for the ride!

Hadley Sullivan things her boss is crazy when he tells his brothers she’s his fiancee. They aren’t personal with each other in any way, but hey, if play acting is what it takes to get the promotion she’s been wanting, she guesses she’ll just have to play along!

He saved her life…

But will he destroy her dreams?

Firefighter Rand Nelson is tall and handsome and has literally walked through an inferno for Beatrice Wilcox. He’s a hero…and that’s exactly the problem. Beatrice knows all too well the risks of loving a man with a dangerous career. But when Rand’s report threatens her beloved children’s camp, Beatrice can’t refuse his offer of help…even though she knows they’re both playing with fire.

 

Such a touching story! With a return visit to Shores of Indian Lake, we see lots of the old regulars and meet some news ones as we embark on a heartwarming story of hope. Bea pledged her life to helping less fortunate kids have an enjoyment they couldn’t get elsewhere at her camp. She teaches them their own worth, she shares fun life lessons with them, and most of all, she makes sure each and every one of them knows they are loved. The characters catch our attention from the start and the plot is quick to draw us in. The story is a bit slow in parts and light on the romantic connection somewhat, but the connection with the kids is superb … overall a really sweet story of love when you least expect it and reaching for it even when it’s outside of your comfort zone. Sweet kids, a sexy fireman and a story about reaching for the stars and achieving them!

Beatrice Wilcox loves her job running a camp for challenged kids, but some days it’s almost more than she can handle. Like the night a fire breaks out and she has to go charging through it to find two missing campers. Luckily for her, a firefighter is in the right place at the right time to rescue them all!

Firefighter Rand Nelson is a by the books guy, so when he does his report of what happened that night, he can’t sugar coat it. He likes Bea though, and the job she’s doing for these kids out there at the camp, so he tries to ease the hardship by helping her with a repair himself. He’s instantly drawn to her, but she’s holding herself back .. turns out she doesn’t like a man that puts himself in danger on a daily basis!
