* Review * THE LAST CHRISTMAS COWBOY by Maisey Yates

The Last Christmas Cowboy by Maisey Yates
Series: Gold Valley #11
Published by HQN Books on October 13, 2020

Goodreads

Will this brooding Gold Valley cowboy find redemption this Christmas?

Cowgirl Rose Daniels is determined to play matchmaker to ensure her beloved sister will meet someone under the mistletoe. She enlists the reluctant help of family friend Logan Heath, but his insistence that she doesn’t understand chemistry is exasperating. Until they share one electrifying moment that shows her exactly what chemistry is all about, and it becomes outrageously, irresistibly intriguing…

Logan hates the holidays. They are a painful reminder of the family he lost and a time of year he always wants to spend on his own. But Rose refuses to let him. Logan’s worked for years to keep his attraction to her under wraps—she’s his best friend’s youngest sister and she couldn’t be more off-limits. He’s the last cowboy that innocent Rose should ever kiss, but this Christmas, maybe Logan will become the only cowboy she’ll ever want.

An unlikely match! With book eleven in her much-loved Gold Valley series Maisey Yates brings us baby sister Rose’s story and it’s a sweet love connection. It lagged a bit in the beginning when Rose was showing a bit of her childish ways, but it picked up throughout and became quite enjoyable.

Rose Daniels grew up a lot in this book and it was for the better. She started out being a bit childish, but as her relationship with Logan progressed, she started to see the things she has buried her head in the sand about over the years.

Logan Heath has been a sweetheart for as long as he’s been popping up in the Daniel’s family books and this was no exception. I enjoyed watching him get the love he’s been missing and the watching the connection he’s been feeling for years come to life.

I recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a small town romance centering around a close-knit family who suffered heartache and trauma at a young age. Watching them heal and find love and happiness is heartwarming.

Loki's Luck by Monique Moreau
Series: The Demon Squad MC #3

Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

A damaged biker.

A younger woman.

An exchange of sex for secrets.

To punish himself for his baby brother's death, Loki is determined to live a life of abstinence—no partying, no women, no nothing. He stays focused by throwing himself into managing the MC's new gym. But when he's roped into teaching a self-defense class, the supervisor threatens his self-control. Although the annoying little pixie loves butting into his business, Loki’s gaze keeps returning to her luscious curves. Again and again.

As a social worker, Abby is called to help troubled souls and she's never met anyone more broken than Loki. Determined to heal him, she offers him a deal: he can have her—any way he wants—in exchange for stories from his past. Whatever it takes for her to uncover the truth, she's game.

When Loki's enemies hurt Abby to get to him, the biker revs up for a long-overdue fight. He'll have to convince Abby she's safer by his side or risk losing her completely.

A gut wrenchingly real depiction of a soul left behind. With book three in her Demon Squad MC series Monique Moreau delighted this reader with a spot-on rendition of grief. If you’ve been following along with the series, we all knew Loki’s story was going to rip our hearts out piece by piece … but what we didn’t know was the beautiful awakening that would come afterwards. I’ve been watching this author’s voice grow stronger with each book in the series, and with Loki, pure perfection spewed out. I’m so looking forward to seeing what’s coming next in the series! * Note: Must be okay with dom/sub relations to enjoy *

Loki is a complex character in this series. He has done some lowdown things that might make a reader think he’s a jerk, but as we get to know his inner workings and how he feels about the loss he’s suffered, we understand that he’s not exactly intentionally bringing pain to others on purpose, he’s just being jabby with anything good in his life that he feels like he no longer deserves … like love, friendship, loyalty.

Abby is pure to the core, so watching her work her magic on Loki in such a sassy way is satisfying. She knows he needs an outlet for his pain, and she’s willing to be that … in more ways than one.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a gritty MC filled with good along with the occasional evil mixed in with a strong brotherhood and a growing amount of love.

Christmas at Holiday House by RaeAnne Thayne
Published by HQN Books on October 13, 2020
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

In the town of Silver Bells, there’s always a feeling of Christmas in the air… Let love—and RaeAnne Thayne—melt your heart this holiday season!

This New Year will bring widowed nurse Abigail Powell a fresh start in a different city. Excited about the chance to create an unforgettable Christmas for her young son in picturesque Silver Bells, Colorado, Abby has been hired to take care of her dear friend’s recuperating grandmother. But sprightly senior Winnie insists she doesn’t need looking after. What she does need is help decorating her historic mansion, Holiday House, for a seasonal town fundraiser. Abby warms to the festive task, but she’ll have to contend with her own personal Grinch: Winnie’s prickly grandson, Ethan Lancaster.

Ethan Lancaster is good at a lot of things. Relationships surely aren’t one of them. His ex-fiancée convinced Ethan he was incapable of love, and he believes her…up until the moment he impulsively kisses Abby. What is it about this vibrant woman and her sweet son that knocks his world off-kilter? He knows they’re leaving town after Christmas. He just didn’t expect they’d be taking a little of his heart with them. But as he and Abby work together on the magical Holiday House through the record cold weather, visions of a different future dance in his head…one filled with warmth, love and a new beginning for them both.

A small-town Christmas delight! I can always count on RaeAnne Thayne to bring me a sweet small town romance, and one filled with Christmas spirit is all the sweeter. The characters were easy to fall for, the atmosphere was magical and the love story super pleasing. I would have liked to have seen the ending developed slighter more with a magical Christmas morning for Christopher, but overall it was sweet, sentimental and delightful.

Abigail Powell is a doll. She knows she hasn’t given her son the best of holidays over the last couple of years without her husband, but after the new year they are starting a new adventure in a new town without all of the memories crowding around, so she’s happy to get the opportunity to help out a dear friend with her ailing grandmother in a magical Christmas town.

Ethan Lancaster starts out a bit Scrooge-like, but he quickly warms up and becomes enjoyable. He’s less than pleased that his grandmother is being contentious about her injury and he wants her on the mend properly. He eventually realized Abigail and her son are good for the situation.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a holiday read filled with love, laughter and a whole lot of heart.

The Boyfriend Effect by Kendall Ryan
Series: Frisky Business #1
on October 13, 2020
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

I’m not boyfriend material.

If a trail of broken hearts and a piss-poor record of failed relationships have taught me anything, it’s this. My buddies are happy to give me shit about my latest breakup from here to next Sunday. Thanks, but I’d rather have a root canal.

And a vasectomy.

At the same time.

Relief comes in an unlikely package—the gorgeous and feisty Maren. She just so happens to be my best friend’s sister, so that’s not awkward at all.

But I’m a man on a mission, and Maren is down to teach me all the ways I’ve been failing as a boyfriend. Apparently, there are many. And it’s all very informative—until I start to catch feelings.

Now it’s not just my reputation on the line, but my heart too.

Adorably sweet and steamy! With the first book in her brand new Frisky Business series Kendall Ryan is quick to delight with a forbidden love story of falling for your best friend’s little sis. The characters were super easy to fall for and the story line was a mix of sass, humor and outright lust. I loved their story and can’t wait for more in the series!

Maren Cox is sweet and loyal. She’s trying to help save the floundering retirement home she works in and Hayes has some fundraising ideas that just might work.

Hayes Ellison is yummy. He’s sexy as all get out and all he really wants in life is true love, but he never seems to be able to do or say the right thing to make a relationship last. He needs help!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a sweet and sexy romance mixed up in real life problems with a close knit group of friends in the mix.

Bossy, protective bad boy biker Mammoth Saint always thought he’d be a member of the Disciples MC…until he laid eyes on her.
Tamara Gallo has always been headstrong, sassy, and never afraid to speak her mind, even when it comes to her hottie biker boyfriend and his brothers in the MC.

But when Mammoth’s ready to sever ties from the club for good, choosing love over the brotherhood, until someone from his past shows up and needs his protection, threatening his freedom along with their future.

♥ Happily Ever After—YES!
♥ Swoon-Worthy—Heck, YEAH!
♥ NO Cliffhanger

If you love a loyal biker, a strong heroine, steamy swoony romance, and witty laugh-out-loud banter…this book is for you!

Ignite is the fifth book in the USA Today bestselling Men of Inked™ Heatwave series.

Just the right amount of steam and sweetness to satisfy! With book five in her always irresistible Men of Inked: Heatwave series Chelle Bliss brings us Mammoth’s story, and it warms our heart! The characters had our attention from page one and as drama rose and tempers flared it only intrigued us more. I felt a little weakness in explanation of who each character was and background to make it a true standalone, but I enjoyed it a lot nonetheless. Looking forward to the next book already!

Mammoth is a dream. He’s hot, he’s bossy and he has such a caring heart. He’s being pulled in two ways a bit and when his past walks in the door it only adds another layer of not knowing which way to turn into the picture, but he’s determined to start a new chapter with the love of his life.

Tamara is a great character. She knows her mind and her spirit and doesn’t hesitate to speak up for what she wants, but she’s supportive regardless of the situation. I enjoyed seeing her in action with her family and watching them grow to accept Mammoth as the one.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who loves a dramatic story that always includes a close knit group of family and friends who love hard as they support one another in finding their forever.

DAX by Kat Mizera
Series: Royal Protectors/Sidewinders Crossover
on October 13, 2020
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

This time he’s playing for keeps...

Rugged hockey star Dax O’Day has always had a thing for his best friend and teammate’s twin sister, but that’s a line you don’t cross. Not in hockey, and definitely not in life. He just can’t stop thinking about her, and when she turns to him for help, there isn’t a chance in hell he can refuse her—even if it means getting his hands dirty.

Beautiful and brilliant, Isla Campbell is a physics professor who comes from a titled Scottish family. She’s loved Dax since the first time they met, but he’s never really seen her like that. With her grandfather trying to marry her off, who better to come to her rescue than the most uninterested, eligible bachelor?

Dax is torn between walking away from the only life he’s ever known to answer the call of duty and keeping his distance from the woman he can’t live without. The longer they put off the inevitable, the harder it becomes to choose.

Sexy, sinful and oh so sweet! With a tempting crossover between her Sidewinders hockey series and her Royal Protectors bodyguard series, Kat Mizera brings a delightful read to life. As a fan of both series it was fun to see the characters from each intermix a bit. The characters were well developed and the only twist was a bit of a time shift from where we currently are in the Royal Protectors series if you’re up to date. I enjoyed it and look forward to more from both series!

Dax is dreamy! He’s a successful hockey star who is trying to decide if he wants to move forward into something equally as rewarding. He’s had a thing for his best friend/eammate’s twin sister for a long time now but that’s just not something you do … until it’s something he can’t possibly resist any longer.

Isla made me want to pull my hair out throughout most of the book. She’s nice enough, but she’s stuck in a rut, complains about it but throws her nose up at any chance of changing things up. I’m glad she finally got her head out of the sand, but I can’t really say I was hugely fond of her character.

I recommend this book and both series that it cross into to anyone who enjoys tough, protective alpha men falling for their happily ever after.

About the Author:

USA Today Bestselling and award-winning author Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she’s called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She’s never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she’d probably choose the west coast.

A typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max), Kat can usually be found scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) – traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible.

Kat’s been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article–a review of a rock concert–for $10 in 1985. Since then she’s been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.

As you can guess from her Las Vegas Sidewinders series, Kat loves hockey and occasionally writes articles about her favorite team, the Florida Panthers. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There’s something enticing about hockey players and romance…

Goodreads

Going from a professional baseball player to a SWAT officer should’ve been seamless. Should have been.

But it wasn’t.

All it took was one single calendar shoot for word to spread that Nathan Cox was not only no longer playing professional baseball, but he was also the man behind saving the life of Reggie Morton, the City of Kilgore’s princess.
***
Reggie didn’t know that by agreeing to provide the expertise and the know-how for the Police Officer’s Ball that she would be required to actually attend the function.

What she also didn’t expect was needing to be saved—again—by the same man that had saved her life a year ago when she hosted her debut event.

This time in a not-nearly-as-spectacular way. The moment she falls into his arms like a modern-day Cinderella and takes him in in all his three-piece suited glory, she realizes that she’s been fighting the impossible.

Nathan Cox owns her. Body and soul.

Delectably sinful and smokin’ hot! Lani Lynn Vale comes up with some wicked story lines that you would think just wouldn’t be able to work … but she does it beautifully! Her writing is unique and creative and the best thing about all of her books that I’ve read is the absolute heart that you feel in each and every one. With book ten in her KPD SWAT Generation 2.0 series she does not disappoint yet again. OFFICIALLY OVER IT is full of drama, sass and a tight knit group of friends and family. Looking forward to more in the series!

Nathan Cox is a dream. He’s hot, he’s self-confident and he’s a truly nice guy. He has his own reasons for walking away from a pro baseball career to become a SWAT officer and if people don’t like it, too bad. Just when he thinks things are starting to mellow out, his whole world goes topsy turvy, and he’s not hating certain aspects of it!

Reggie Morton is adorable. She’s a NICU nurse and part time event planner and is a spitfire full of sass and gumption. She’s always had Nathan’s back even when they fought like cats and dogs as kids, but she never expected to be tried this hard in supporting him.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who loves a drama filled romance filled with alpha cops, the feisty women who loves them and more heart than you know what to do with.

The Merriest Magnolia Series: The Magnolia Sisters #2
Published by HQN Books on October 13, 2020
Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Home for the holidays has always meant cozy small-town traditions…but this year all that may change…

Carrie Reed has always been known as her hometown Good Girl, yet she still loves Magnolia, North Carolina—after all, this is where her newly discovered sisters, Avery and Meredith, live. But Christmas is on its way and with it, her first love. Dylan Scott is back in town and planning on changing everything she’s ever loved about Magnolia with his real estate development project…but not without a fight.

Returning to Magnolia was never in Dylan’s plans—it holds too many reminders that he would never be good enough, and memories of the girl he left behind. But when a tragedy leaves him guardian of a grieving teenager, Dylan returns, ready to remake the town into something only money can buy, small-town traditions be damned. But with Carrie determined to stop him, he finds himself wondering if redeeming his teenage reputation is worth losing out on his second chance at love.

My heart’s in Magnolia! With book two of her Magnolia Sisters series Michelle Major once again takes us into the center of a dream small town with a rekindling of first loves and a healing of hearts. The characters are full of life and drama, the town is warm and inviting and the animals and kids bring on the adorableness in full force. I do think you will get a better flow for the story if you read book one first. Looking forward to more in the series!

Carrie is easy to like because she does so much good for the community, but you can also easily see where her flaws come into play and appreciate the good she’s starting to infuse into her life.

Dylan really should be resented for what he’s wanting to do to the town, but he’s so sweet and floundering that you can’t help but love him.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who loves a small town with lots of romance brewing.

Goodreads

For sisters Samantha and Ella Mitchell, Christmas is their most precious time of the year. But this year, they’ll be buying presents for the most unexpected guest of all—their mother. It’s been five years since they last saw each other. But when their mom calls out of the blue, Samantha and Ella cautiously agree to spend Christmas all together in the beautiful Scottish Highlands…

Gayle Mitchell is at the top of her career, but her success has come at a price—her relationship with her daughters. Her tough-love approach to parenting was designed to make them stronger, but instead managed to push them away…until a brush with her own mortality forces Gayle to make amends.

As the snowflakes fall on their first family celebration in years, the Mitchell women must learn that sometimes facing up to the past is all you need to heal your heart…

An emotional journey of healing! ONE MORE FOR CHRISTMAS by Sarah Morgan is a powerful story of family healing. The plot was fast paced and had me hooked quickly and as the story played out, I liked them more and more.

Gayle has been estranged from her grown daughters for several years and when a flash of uncertainty has her examining her choices, she reaches out to heal the rift.

Samantha chose to be a high powered career woman just like her mother pushed down their throats their entire lives, but she never hesitates to be a bull dog when it comes to protecting her adored little sister.

Ella sees the good in life and totally throws herself into the joys of motherhood and marriage, but the thought of admitting she chose the homey side of life to her go-getter mother is terrifying.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a heartwarming holiday story with a hint of romance.

Series: The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Peaceful Harbor #7

Buy on Amazon
Goodreads

Recovering drug addict Quincy Gritt has fought his demons. He’s confessed to his crimes and conquered his addictions. He’s finally ready to go after sweet, sexy Roni, the gorgeous brunette who won a date with him in a charity auction five months ago and has been putting him off, and driving him wild, ever since.

Dancer Veronica “Roni” Wescott worked hard to escape the seedy area where she was raised and followed her dreams to Julliard, only to have them shattered in the blink of an eye. She fought hard and regained her footing, but then the rug was pulled out from under her again when the grandmother who raised her passed away, leaving Roni feeling adrift in a world she knows very little about outside of dance. And then there's Charlie Hunnam–lookalike Quincy Gritt—the man whose late-night texts pulled her through her grief and have been setting her heart aflutter for months

Quincy pulls out all the stops, determined to prove that their friendship is only the beginning of what’s destined to be so much more. Romantic nights lead to smoldering passion and a deep connection too strong to be denied. But when Quincy’s past comes back to haunt him, can he and Roni accept their new gritty truth, or will Quincy spiral back into the darkness and lose the future he fought so hard to have?

A gut-wrenching story of survival! Melissa Foster’s writing voice shines in book seven of her The Whiskeys: Dark Knights at Peaceful Harbor series as she rips a piece of her reader’s heart apart and then slowly sews it back together again. In THE GRITTY TRUTH we are quickly hooked on Quincy and Roni and waiting with baited breath for them to connect and live happily ever after, but life has another idea in store for them and they are going to be tested like no other before walking into the sunset together. The characters are well developed and awe inspiring, the supporting cast is full of love, laughs and emotion and the happily ever after is breathtaking. I can’t wait for more in the series!

Quincy is such a sweetheart! He’s been through so much with his mom, his addiction and his guilt yet he’s come out of the other side as such a loving young man. He’s easy to sympathize with and easy to love.

Roni tugs at our heartstrings. She was on top of the world when a freak accident stole her future and she fought hard to come back from it. Now she’s again floundering with the loss of her person, Gram. Quincy and his friendship and spirit helped put her back together again and now it’s time for their relationship to shine.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who loves a tight knit family of sentimental tough guys who love hard. The stories are always highly emotional, humorous and full of so much heart.
