* Review * A MAGNOLIA REUNION by Michelle Major

October 20, 2019 Leave a Comment

A Magnolia Reunion by Michelle Major
Series: The Magnolia Sisters
Published by HQN Books on October 1, 2019
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

What would you do if you were face-to-face with the one who got away?

It’s been years since Jennie Copley left Magnolia, NC—and her dreams of happily-ever-after—in the rearview mirror. But when her beloved nana turns ninety, she forces herself to come home for the birthday party…and runs into Lucas Michaels, the boy who broke her heart all those years ago. She’d hoped to never see him again, but life—and Nana—has other plans…

Lucas is still in love with Jennie—time and distance could never change that. When she left for college, Lucas knew she had big dreams and he didn’t want to stand in her way. Now, forced together to plan Nana’s party, he can’t get her off his mind. Jennie is only in town a little while. Can he convince her to give him one more chance?

A MAGNOLIA REUNION is the short but sweet prequel to Michelle Major’s upcoming The Magnolia Sisters series. It’s too short to have a whole lot of angst to let me sink my teeth into, but there’s a bit from the past that former sweethearts Jennie and Lucas have to get through before deciding to give their love another shot.

The background of the town is laid out somewhat in this story and we meet Lucas’s best friend Gray who is going to be the hero in the first full-length book in the series, out in March 2020. I enjoyed the characters and look forward to delving deeper into the town and it’s occupants!

Blind Spot by Brenda Novak
Series: The Evelyn Talbot Chronicles #4
Published by St. Martin's Paperbacks on August 27, 2019
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

With Jasper Moore, the privileged boy who attacked her when she was only sixteen, finally caught and in prison, Dr. Evelyn Talbot, founder and head psychiatrist at Hanover House (a prison/research facility for psychopaths in remote Alaska), believes she can finally quit looking over her shoulder. She’s safe, happier than she’s ever been and expecting her first child. She’s also planning to marry Amarok, her Alaska State Trooper love interest and the town’s only police presence.

But before the wedding can take place, a psychopath from the much more recent past comes out of nowhere and kidnaps her in broad daylight. Instead of planning her wedding, Evelyn finds herself doing everything she can to survive, save her baby and devise some way to escape while Amarok races the clock to find her - before it’s too late.

Exhilarating from start to finish! BLIND SPOT is the much-anticipated fourth full-length novel in Brenda Novak’s The Evelyn Talbot Chronicles series and picks up shortly after the previous book left off. Just when things were looking like they would be slowing to a normal life for Evelyn and Amarok and their baby-to-be, Evelyn embarks on yet another fight for her life when a more recent psychopath kidnaps her.

As detailed descriptions wrap around us, we embark immediately on a journey of terror with Evelyn as she’s locked up and has no clue who has her. She quickly sets forth a plan to fight for the life of her unborn child harder than she’s ever fought before, showcasing the strong character she’s been throughout the series.

Amarok is desperate to figure out who has taken Evelyn and where they are holding her. He goes up against all obstacles to try to get even a hint of a lead to go on in his search. He remains the amazingly supportive man we’ve seen by her side, and shows an additional softer side of him as his worry turns into desperation.

I highly recommend this book, and this series as a whole. To fully appreciate the plight in each book, I recommend you read in order from prequel through each full-length novel there after (Hanover House, Her Darkest Nightmare, Hello Again, Face Off and ending with Blind Spot). The only thing that would have made it complete for me as a die-hard fan of the series was more time with Evelyn and Amarok together and especially seeing how their future played out. Loved the series!

* Review * SECOND CHANCE TEMPTATION by Joss Wood

Second Chance Temptation by Joss Wood
Series: Love in Boston #3
Published by Harlequin Desire on November 1, 2019
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Years ago, she left him at the altar.

She. Owes. Him.

Now Tanna Murphy shows up, wanting to make amends? Nothing she could say would salvage Levi Brogan’s broken trust. Or so he says. Yet Levi needs someone at his beck and call for the next six weeks. And he’s discovered the perfect way Tanna can make it all up to him… With desire still burning between them, will temptation lead to their second chance?

SECOND CHANCE TEMPTATION is book four in Joss Wood’s ever steamy Love in Boston series and we have finally gotten to Levi’s story! We’ve watched him from the sidelines as he pulled his overprotective big brother duties while his sisters found love, and now it’s his turn to do an about face as the past comes back to haunt him. The story line was fresh, emotional and oh so satisfying!

If you’ve been following along with the series, Levi was already very familiar with you from Jules, Darby and DJ’s stories so he’s a draw immediately as you start to read. Learning about his past and watching him try not to open his heart to his ex again is quite entertaining.

Tanna is quick to snag the attention of the reader as well. She broke Levi’s heart, but it’s easy to spot the guilt that still eats her alive over her accident long ago. Seeing her finally allow herself to start to forgive is absolute gold.

I highly recommend this series as a whole, and this book was particularly sweet. If you enjoy a close knit family who doesn’t hesitate to step in to protect those they love, this family is for you. I’m looking forward to meeting more of Tanna’s family in future books!

Seductive Secrets by Cat Schield
Series: Sweet Tea and Scandal #4
Published by Harlequin Desire on October 1, 2019
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

A mysterious woman he can’t resist.

“I intend to get to know the real you.”

When one of Charleston’s oldest families is infiltrated by a beautiful stranger, tycoon Paul Watts vows to reveal the truth. But when his grandfather’s health miraculously improves after mistaking Lia Marsh as a long-lost granddaughter, Paul has no choice but to follow along. While he must expose Lia, soon he’s the one with the secret—he desires the woman who could destroy everything he holds dear…

SEDUCTIVE SECRETS is book four in Cat Schield’s Sweet Tea and Scandal series and centers around a cyber security tycoon who reigns from old Charleston money and a free-spirited nomadic massage therapist in this unique take on an opposites attract/enemies to lovers story.

Paul comes across as a gruff, no nonsense type of guy as he jumps in to question who this stranger is visiting his vitally ill grandfather in the hospital. He is quick to doubt the answers he receives and vows to figure out who this woman really is and what her motives are for cozying up to his family.

Lia has never been one to settle down in life. She enjoys moving from town to town when the mood strikes her and picking up new adventures along the way. When approached to visit a sick family member of a friend, she is happy to do it … but Paul makes it clear she’s not all that welcome.

I recommend this book to anyone enjoying a very family centric plot that pops up a few secrets that have to be dealt with along the way towards that happily ever after.

Wicked Sinner by Stacey Kennedy
Series: A Dangerous Love #2
Published by Forever Yours on October 15, 2019
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

A gripping, heart-pounding romance from USA Today bestselling author Stacey Kennedy about a former FBI agent who will do anything it takes to protect his ex, or risk losing her for good...

Asher Sullivan was once Remy Brennan's entire world--until he broke her heart into a million pieces. So when Asher crashes her wedding, Remy is certain he's come to claim her. To make her his again. Instead, it turns out Remy's groom is a con man scheming for her inheritance. Now all she's left with is an empty bank account, a serious case of lust for her gorgeous ex...and a duffel bag of cold, hard cash that might just fix all her problems.

Detective Asher Sullivan has always protected Remy. So when dangerous criminals start threatening her, Asher's most primitive instincts take over. Sticking by Remy's side means Asher is finally able to make amends for leaving her all those years ago. And soon they're giving in to their wicked, insatiable need. But just as Asher gets his second chance, a secret Remy is keeping could rip her away from him...forever.

Dangerous Love series:
Naughty Stranger
Wicked Sinner
Ruthless Bastard

WICKED SINNER is book two in Stacey Kennedy’s Dangerous Love series and brings together a police detective and his former high school girlfriend in a delectable reunion story. The story line is easy to become enthralled with and the characters are fun to get to know.

Remy almost immediately snagged this reader’s heart when upon hearing Asher object at her wedding, she thought her one true love had finally returned to claim her. He left her heartbroken years ago, so what’s a girl to think when she hears THAT voice just as she’s about to speak her vows to another man??

Asher was a complex character. On one hand I felt a grudge against him for how he had done Remy, but on the other hand, I admired his loyalty and devotion to protecting her from a conman.

I recommend this story to anyone enjoying some intrigue with their romance. It’s quirky and fun with just enough mystery to keep you hooked throughout.

Jason is an appealing character. We know some his family background from previous Dare stories, but we learn a bit more of him personally and what’s happened in his past to make him become so emotionally closed off. There’s no question that he’s an extremely nice guy and reaches out to help Faith instantly, so it’s a treat to watch him learn to feel again as their relationship progresses.

Overall, it was a really sexy, fun read and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a fast paced drama with lots of sexy romance taking center stage.

Excerpt

Jason had settled into a chair in the center of the shop, surveying the work going on around him. He’d already left once, returning with sandwiches and sodas for everyone. As the hours passed and he vacillated between returning messages on his phone and talking to the workmen he obviously knew, she grew more confused.

“Don’t you have somewhere else to be?” she asked him.

He raised an eyebrow as if to say, Really? “Nowhere more important. I want to make sure the work here is done correctly and this place looks exactly the way you want it.”

She appreciated his thoughtfulness, but he had to have better things to do than worry about her. “Okay, but I can handle that. I don’t want to take up more of your day than I already have. I can stick around until the guys are finished, lock up, and head home.”

He folded his strong arms over his chest, his olive-green Henley pulling tight over his muscles. “And do you think I’m going to leave you here alone after what you told me about your brother?”

She’d been pushing thoughts of Colton aside all day. “I have pepper spray on my keychain.” The words sounded ridiculous, even to her.

She was no match for her brother, and if he was strung out? He’d have a wiry strength she couldn’t handle. She knew that firsthand, memories of her hands trying to pull his wrists off her neck very clear in her mind.

“Okay, fine. I appreciate you making sure I get home safely.” She’d be a fool to fight Jason’s protective nature.

“You still don’t get it. But you will.” He shook his head, amusement warring with a more serious expression. “You’re coming home with me, sweetness. I’m not leaving you here or in that shitty walk-up with a crappy lock your brother could break with one good kick.”

“Hey! That’s my apartment you’re insulting!” And all she could afford.

“It’s only an insult if I’m wrong.” He studied her, as if daring her to argue.

“I can’t just move in with you!”

He sighed. “Fine. You need someone to vouch for me? We can call my partners. Or my sister. Or… Hey, Sam! Am I trustworthy?” Jason yelled out to the man who was just climbing down a ladder, her clean window staring back at her.

Sam strode up to them and looked from Jason to Faith and back again. “Best man I know. Take a look at this.” Reaching into his pocket, Sam pulled out his phone, then began scrolling through his pictures.

“This is my girl.” He turned the phone so Faith could see a picture of a grinning little pixie with a bright smile and a pom-pom hat on her bald head, no hair hanging down beneath the folded brim.

“She’s beautiful,” Faith said, sliding her finger over her face.

“And if it wasn’t for this guy introducing us to his sister, I don’t think my wife and I would have made it through the roughest parts of her illness.” He shoved his phone back into his pocket.

Looking up at Jason from beneath her lashes, she caught a flush on his cheeks.

“It just so happens I could help you, man. But I’m glad Sienna could do her part. She loves fundraising and doing anything she can for kids who’ve been through what she has.”

Faith would like to help her one day, when there was no danger following her around, she thought sadly. For now, though, she had to fight through her own problems and not bring them into other people’s lives.

“Thanks, Sam.” Jason all but dismissed his friend, who waved and walked back to the other guy helping him.

“So? Still think I’m a serial killer?” Jason asked her.

Goodreads

There’s more to me than just being awk-weird. I own my own flower shop, have some great friends, and I have my eye on adopting the most adorable kitten. But sadly, hot guys don’t tend to be blown away by my trivia-spouting, dorky self.

So when a Thor-lookalike who happens to be a professional hockey player hits on me at my bestie’s wedding rehearsal party... You better believe I climbed that tree like a cat. And the fact that it happened not once, not twice, but three times? Yeah, that’s pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime experience for a woman like me.

There’s zero chance I’ll end up ever seeing him again...right?

Until the pregnancy test comes up positive. What happens next?

Oh my God, I wish I knew…

Each book in the Ice Knights series is STANDALONE:
* Parental Guidance
* Awk-Weird
* Loud Mouth

Filled with steamy laugh out loud moments! AWK-WEIRD is book two in Avery Flynn’s Ice Knights series and it’s utterly delightful! Think a sexy pro hockey player and a nerdy florist who can’t stop touting off trivia at the most awkward moments and add in an adorable kitten and you’ll know why you have to grab this book.

Tess is such an adorable character. She has that spouting trivia thing going for her, but overall she’s extremely smart and has a style all her own. She’s easy to like, she’s well developed and she’s just really fun to get to know.

Cole is a fun character. He brings a smile to a reader’s face easily, but he also had to be redeemed in our eyes because he kept one eye on the past he thought he was going to relive for a little too long for my liking.

Overall, it was lighthearted, funny and super sweet. I recommend it to anyone wanting a fast read filled with laughs and lots of heart. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series already!

* Review * ROOM TO BREATHE by Liz Talley

Room to Breathe by Liz Talley
Published by Montlake Romance on November 1, 2019
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

For a good part of Daphne Witt’s life, she was a supportive wife and dutiful mother. Now that she’s divorced and her daughter, Ellery, is all grown up, Daphne’s celebrating the best part of her life, a successful career, and a flirtation with an attentive hunk fifteen years her junior…who happens to be her daughter’s ex-boyfriend.

Ellery is starting over, too. She’s fresh out of college. Her job prospects are dim. And to support her fiancé in med school, she’s returned home as her mother’s new assistant. Ellery never expected her own life plan to take such a detour. With no outlet for her frustration, she lets an online flirtation go a little too far, especially considering her pen pal thinks he’s corresponding with her mother.

As love lives tangle, secrets spill, and indiscretions are betrayed, mother and daughter will have a lot to learn—not only about the mistakes they’ve made but also about the men in their lives and the women they are each hoping to become.

ROOM TO BREATHE by Liz Talley is light, refreshing and filled with southern charm! Though some serious matters are tackled between a mother and her grown daughter, the dialogue is kept upbeat throughout with moments that have you laughing, while others pull at your heartstrings. I found the characters believable and their stories quite interesting.

Daphne is a complex character. As a reader, I found myself cheering for her and her side of things more often than not because though she’s a strong, independent lady, she hasn’t been treated fairly much in her life. She’s easy to connect with, easy to forgive her faults, and an inspiration to us all on how to enjoy the life that comes along when we least expect it.

Ellery is a character that it’s hard not to try to reach into the book and shake some sense into on occasion because she’s the very definition of a spoiled brat. The hard knocks of life come visiting her door though and she’s going to have to learn how to pull herself together and achieve greatness on her own.

I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a story that draws you in and holds your attention through. I didn’t want to put it down because I just had to keep knowing what was going to happen next. The characters draw your attention in immediately and don’t let up on their drama filled lives. I really enjoyed Daphne and Ellery’s stories!

Warning Shot by Jenna Kernan
Series: Protectors at Heart #3
Published by Harlequin Intrigue on November 1, 2019
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

When an agent teams up with a local sheriff,

she doesn’t realize his secret could endanger their lives…

With Homeland Security on high alert, Rylee Hockings heads into the field to thwart a foreign threat. But local county sheriff Axel Trace doesn’t want the newbie federal agent treading on his turf. As he learns to accept her help, the stakes rise as he realizes he’ll have to reveal a secret that could jeopardize her case—and cost them their lives.

Exciting from start to finish! WARNING SHOT is book three in Jenna Kernan’s Protectors at Heart series and revolves around a Homeland Security agent and a local sheriff in a bit of a twist on an enemies to lovers story.

Federal agent Rylee tries to come off as being in charge and all knowing, but she doesn’t play a believable character. Instead, she’s annoying in her holier than thou attitude of always thinking her way is the right way no matter what kind of dangerous situation she might cause by charging in on her own. I found her hard to connect to.

Sheriff Axel on the other hand was very easy to relate to and a character that it’s a pleasure to get to know. He likes to keep peace in his neck of the woods but he knows not to burn his bridges with different entities who he might need to make nice with in certain situations.

I recommend this book to anyone loving a book with intrigue continuing from beginning to end and who enjoys a lot of action with their romance.
