I’ve enjoyed all of the books in the Steele Ridge series so far, but Reid’s story has been my favorite so far.  He’s just this side of arrogant, but his adorable smile makes it okay! Lots of intrigue happening in this one as the bad guys keep coming after Brynne and Reid keeps having to protect her.  Looking forward to seeing more of the Steele family.

Green Beret Reid Steele is really mad that his Army career has ended simply because of a freak accident that left him with a knee injury that puts him out of commission.  He needs a new career, but for just came home to Steele Ridge to lay low and heal a little.

Boutique owner Brynne Whitfield has caught his attention both times he’s run into her since being back, so he sets out to woo her into having a little fun with him, but Brynne’s recently had her heartbroken by a player and certainly isn’t looking to move on to another one.  When her best friend is murdered and she somehow becomes a target of the assailant, Reid steps in to keep her safe. Will their close contact lead to them actually starting to care about each other?

If you’re looking for a sweet romance that will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions, Cheryl Harper’s latest is the one for you!  I laughed, I cried, I felt so sad for him, yet a deep happiness in the end.  What a great story!  The only thing I could have wanted more of is for them to become a couple a little sooner so we could see more of them together, but overall, a really sweet read that will touch your heart.  I heart Freddie!

Eleven years ago Cole Ferguson made the greatest mistake of his life.  No matter what his intentions were, he paid the price for what he did.  Now he’s back home in Holly Heights, TX looking to start fresh.  He needs a job, and to keep his nose to the grindstone.  Straight and narrow, that’s his new motto!

Such a touching story!  With her powerful voice, Wendy S. Marcus shared with us a journey to finding happiness again after a horrible heartbreak.  There’s deep sadness, unbelievable joy and a sexy hot connection to take our breath away as we share Krissy’s journey.  Really couldn’t put this book down!

As a young adult, Krissy Peniglatt promised her best friend that if he didn’t make it back from his Army stint overseas, that she would make sure his legacy continued on by having his baby via IVF. When the unthinkable happened and Jarrod didn’t make it home, Krissy worked hard to get herself established in a stable career and make sure she was mature enough to handle being a single mother, and then she kept her promise to Jarrod.

Jarrod left instructions that he wanted his other best friend, Spencer Penn, to be his baby’s godfather.  Once upon a time they were all great friends, until Spencer took a stance of disliking Krissy and drifting away.  Now when she comes to his door with a letter from his old friend, he can’t turn her away no matter how he feels.  As he sets out to honor Jarrod’s wishes and help her through the end of her pregnancy, will he be able to convince her that he really doesn’t dislike the new her that she’s become … and in reality, would love to be her baby daddy??

But when Tag Crane rushes in, all mountain-man shoulders and obscenely sexy smile, needing her help for the Crane Hotels, it’s a fantasy come true. What’s the harm in a fun no-strings fling? Only a fool would give her heart to a billionaire player like Tag-until suddenly the one man who can’t be caught is the one flirting with forever . . .

EXCERPT:

“Why is it you look like you’re thinking something sinister?” he asked, that eyebrow arcing higher. “And don’t lie to me, Dimples. I have a sixth sense.” She watched his slow smile, white teeth appearing as his trimmed beard parted. Her nether regions buzzed like she’d sat on a vibrating phone.

“I’m surprised . . .” she started, feeling daring. Must be the Kona coffee.

“Because?”

“Because I expected you to induct me into the Mile High Club by now. This is my first private flight.” She looked at him through her lashes, her coy smile in place.

Tag wore an all-out grin, which made her inordinately pleased. Where she was concerned, he wasn’t immune. And she liked that. A lot.

“Excuse me.” Smoothly, he shut his laptop, stood, and walked from cabin to cockpit.

Okay. That was interesting. She hadn’t expected him to leave. Maybe she didn’t have the same power over him as he had over her.

She turned to look out the window, but the nighttime landscape was nothing but blackness. She imagined a sea of clouds and blue skies once the sun rose, anticipating being someplace where the high was above freezing. She wondered what the temperature was on—

“Let’s go.” Her hand was snatched a moment later as Tag pulled her out of her seat and led her to the bedroom.

“Wait,” she said through her laughter as she hustled after him. “What are you doing?”

In the bedroom, he released her, closed the door, and whipped off his shirt. She gasped, her eyes eating up his tanned muscles and bulky arms.

“Making you a member.” He caught the back of her head in his hand and kissed her. She melted beneath his touch. She was hopelessly attracted to him. Just an absolute goner.

When she caught a breath of air, she said, “Where did you go?”

“Told the pilot to take the long way.”

“There’s a longer way to Hawaii?”

“There is now.”

With the continuation of Navy SEAL Boat Team 22’s foray into trying to solve the human trafficking operation they turned up in Cancun in prior books, Elle James brings us Montana’s story.  It’s a fast paced, full of action story, and we are intrigued as they get closer to finding out who’s been behind all of the killing, but I felt the romance was a tad weak.  I enjoyed Kate & Montana, but I would have liked to have had more time with them.

When Benjamin Raines AKA Montana, meets his new partner in his work with his SEAL team and some Stealth Operations Specialists team members, he is taken aback.  She’s gorgeous, feisty and totally competent in her undertaking to bring down the bad guys!

Kate McKenzie has been double-crossed before, so she’s not so sure about trusting this team of unknowns she’s been set up to work with, but she soon realizes they seem to know what they are doing and buries herself in the mission.

When she and Ben go undercover as a couple, the “for show” intimacy between them becomes all too real and they find themselves falling for each other in the middle of all the chaos.  Is there any future there or will it be over in the blink of an eye when they take down the target?

Dr. Aidan Lowe has recently returned from a stint in Afghanistan and is at about the lowest point in his life when he meets Ashley.  Her kindness touches him in a way he didn’t know he needed, so when an opportunity arises for him to help her and Brandon, he can’t turn his back on them.  When sparks fly, will Ashley let her own needs play a part in the picture for a change or will it continue to be all about her son?
