A love that never died…

Could be rekindled this Christmas

Helen Blackwell never stopped loving horse trainer Nash…even when she divorced him. When the stoic cowboy bets the ranch on her winning a cutting horse competition—and she’s terrified to ride—she wonders if there’s any hope for them. Renewing the love between them may take more than a moment under the mistletoe. But working together could heal past hurts and give their five-year-old son his Christmas wish!

 

The epitome of saving the best for last! I’m a big fan of the Blackwell family, so every story in The Blackwells of Eagle Springs has been sweet, sentimental and endearing but there’s just something special about seeing Nash and Helen reunite that ties it all together beautifully. The characters are fast to hook you, the romantic tension is fast paced and sincere and the family drama happening behind the scenes keeps you turning page after page. I loved this series and hope we haven’t seen the last of the Blackwells!

Nash is kindhearted and sincere and the tarnish of his past heartache and sins is just light enough to make him easily redeemable and to have the reader pulling for him from start to finish.

Helen is really easy to sympathize with and she proves time and again why she’s the ideal person to lasso a man like Nash.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that enjoys a small town romance filled with a close knit group of family and friends who stick beside each other come what may as happily ever afters come knocking whether they are ready for them or not.

“Yeah, cowboy, we’ve got a deal.”

And a very real fake engagement!

Being named Texas’s Sexiest Bachelor is the opposite of fun for divorced rancher Colter Ward. So when old friend Adeline Harlow shows up determined to land an exclusive interview, they strike a deal to form a fake relationship. The one flaw? Everyone believes they’re headed for happily-ever-after! But with Adeline returning to New York and Colter’s family needing him in Devil’s Bluffs, where will they end up?

 

Stacey Kennedy’s Harlequin debut is sizzling and on point! With the first book in her brand new Devil’s Bluff series Kennedy delights her readers with a friends-to-lovers/fake romance remix and I enjoyed every scintillating moment! Great characters, well developed back stories and just enough sweet small-town romance feel to pair with the steamy character development to make a well rounded romance. I’m looking forward to visiting Devil’s Bluff often!

Colter Ward is down-to-earth and kindhearted and just a downright sweet kind of guy. He’s being pestered by women all over town after a pesky article named him a catch and he’s willing to try anything to get some peace and quiet again.

Adeline is sweet and sincere and isn’t shy about stepping in to help Colter out while guaranteeing herself a juicy byline. I enjoyed the layers her character unraveled as she processed her past and opened herself up to her future.

I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a fast paced, witty connection between friends and lovers as they slowly let their guard down to accept true love into their heart.

Konstantin

I grew up bleeding to survive, so getting paid to play the game of hockey is a life richer than I ever dreamed possible. I’ve got it all, or so I thought until meeting Lucy Cain. My teammate’s sexy sister is a ray of sunshine in my otherwise gray world. Though fighting on the ice is second nature to me, in Lucy I’ve discovered something I’ve never had before—someone worth fighting for. But will she still want me when she sees the beast inside?

Lucy

I’m leaving my life behind. As soon as I get my brother back on his feet, I’ll start over in a little seaside town to escape the dark secret I discovered about my ex. My plan hits a roadblock, though—a six-foot, inked up Russian one. My brother’s teammate Konstantin is more likely to throw a punch than crack a smile, but once I slip beneath his stoic, steely façade, I never want to let him go. As my past closes in, though, Kon and I aren’t just fighting for our future, but for our lives.

 

Easy to fall for and highly addictive! With the fourth book in Brenda Rothert and Kat Mizera’s St. Louis Mavericks hockey series we are getting to know Konstantin and Lucy, but even more important, we are getting to dive back into life with Lucy’s brother Sawyer after his loss of Annie. I enjoyed every minute of this story and always look forward to more to come in the series. Great characters, emotional turmoil and lots of sexy goodness.

Lucy is a sweetheart who was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong guy and now she’s hiding out and trying to help her brother Sawyer pick up the pieces of his life after the loss of his wife.

Kon is gruff and sexy as all get out and is just a downright sweetheart when it comes to Lucy. I enjoyed their development very much.

I highly recommend this book as well as the rest of the series to anyone that enjoys a close knit hockey family who is always there to love and support each other through life’s ups and downs.
