Could a second chance at forever become a ransom demand?

Former rodeo star Davy Colt traded his competition spurs for a PI license. But even after years away, he never stopped loving hometown sweetheart Carla Richmond. A robbery and hostage situation at the Lonesome bank leaves the loan officer injured and shattered. With the escaped culprit still at large, Davy will ransom his heart to the hilt to avert a deadly Christmas for Carla and their long-overdue reunion.

Non-stop action will delight intrigue fans! The third book in the Colt Brothers Investigation series brings rodeo star brother Davy back home to reunite with his former love when a bank robbery leaves her injured and in danger. The plot is thick with mystery and the characters past is bringing tension to the surface quickly when they reconnect to catch the culprit.

I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a fast paced dive into danger and intrigue with lots of drama and family bonding mixed in.

* Review * A VALENTINE FOR CHRISTMAS by Reese Ryan

A Valentine for Christmas by Reese Ryan
Series: Valentine Vineyards #1

A red-hot romance between a career-focused woman and a determined younger man?

Doctor’s orders!

Dr. Julian Brandon is too charming, too sexy and too young for Chandra Valentine. But after the successful bachelor rescues her—twice—she owes him. Still reeling from life-changing family revelations, Chandra somehow agrees to pose as Julian’s girlfriend. And now the irresistible Julian has plans that start with seduction under the mistletoe and end with their fake relationship erupting into a scorching affair. Now Chandra’s questioning everything she believed about love…

I’m so excited for this series! Reese Ryan is spinning off her ever popular Bourbon Brothers series when a newly found family member and his fam begin to bring Valentine Vineyards to life. There are several characters to keep track of in the unraveling of this new family, but the familiar faces of a few from King’s Finest made it feel like a visit with old friends. Attention grabbing characters, family drama galore and the ever promised hope of romance have me diving in head first for more in the series!

Chandra Valentine has an adorable and dramatic meet cute with the man of her dreams just as she’s embarking on a roller coaster ride of family expectations and life drama. I loved her spunky attitude and all around accomplished outlook.

Julian Brandon is kindhearted and sincere but he’s dreading the obligation he has hanging over his head more than he can stay. I enjoyed seeing him make peace with past hurt and disappointment to walk proudly into his future.

I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a close knit family with lots of drama and clashing personalities joining forces to conquer the world and love, one sibling at a time.

* Review * THE TWIN SECRET SHE MUST REVEAL by Joss Wood

The Twin Secret She Must Reveal by Joss Wood
Series: Scandals of the Le Roux Wedding #3
Published by Harlequin Presents on November 29, 2022

She has a confession:

Her sons are also his!

Thadie Le Roux has not one but two reminders of those incredible hours in Angus Docherty’s arms. But unable to contact her twins’ elusive father, the society heiress decides she has to move on. Until she’s caught in a paparazzi frenzy and the security expert who rescues her is Angus himself!

Learning he’s a father changes everything for lone-wolf Angus—except the dizzying desire he feels for Thadie. So when she escapes to a private Seychelles island, Angus will accompany her. And he will discover what this means for their future…

So much more than I expected! There’s a bit of a disconnect between the story we thought we were in for with Thadie in the final book of the Scandals of the Le Roux Wedding series by Joss Wood and what it actually turns into, but I loved Thadie and Angus so much that I couldn’t find myself caring that Clyde was all but shoved under the rug! Great characters, fast paced angst and a sizzling connection to keep us on our toes.

Thadie is an attention grabbing character. She’s beloved by her brothers and is raising a set of equally precocious twins, but finds herself alone in the times when she wants someone meaningful by her side.

Angus lives in a world all his own, but once he finds Thadie again and realizes he has a family he didn’t know about, he’s all in to figure out how they fit together.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that loves a huge amount of family drama mixed into a close knit group of siblings who are each pairing off with their forever love.
