A reunion with a twist…
May save the day!

After a near-fatal day on the job, firefighter Ryder Talbot's finally back in Eagle Springs, Wyoming, and ready for a new start with his daughter. Seeing Corliss Blackwell again stirs up old feelings he tried to leave behind. Now that Corliss needs his help to close a deal on a loan that will save her gran’s ranch, can he finally prove they’re worth taking a chance on?

Dreams do come true! From the moment I met sly, cantankerous Elias Blackwell in the first Return of the Blackwell Brothers series from Harlequin Heartwarming in 2018, I have been addicted to this family and their loving drama. I adored the Blackwell Sisters series in 2020 and I hoped we’d see this family again and I’m so so happy to have a third installment with another branch of the family intermingling with Big E and the gang with this new Blackwells of Eagle Springs kickoff! The characters are endearing and addictive, the drama is subtle yet highly motivating and the happily ever after was such a satisfying reward! I can’t wait for more of the Flying Spurs Ranch!

Corliss and her devout belief that she can save their struggling ranch hooked me to the story quickly. She’s accomplished and steadfast and easy to like and root for.

Ryder is the loyalest best friend a gal could have and having him come back to town to heal and reconnect with his daughter with friends and family by his side is very rewarding.

I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a small town romance with loads of family drama going on as love sneaks up on them and shows them they are worth it.

Rhett Redeemed by Chantal Fernando

Life is about choices. He had a history of making bad ones.

Ready for a New Start

United with her newly discovered half sister, Constance Wilder finally has a family. She should be happy, but she’s not. Instead, she’s even lonelier, which is why a one-night stand with a sexy biker is just what she needs. A few hours of wild sex won’t just bring her pleasure—it will help her forget.

A Series of Bad Choices

Rhett did what was necessary to step into his role as leader of the Wind Dragons MC, which included cutting ties with the woman he loved. He wouldn’t change it, but that doesn’t make it easier. Thankfully, the beautiful woman across the bar is a welcome distraction. He never expected her to light a spark inside him, leaving him wanting more.

Destined for Disaster

Constance falls hard for Rhett. Not only is she pretty sure he’s her soul mate, but he’s the one person she has connected to in a long time. But when it is revealed that Rhett is her sister’s ex, Constance is faced with losing her newly found family, making happily-ever-after seem damn near impossible.

Highly addictive and sensually satisfying! With the second book in the Knights and Dragons MC series Chantal Fernando brings a familiar face to the forefront and reunites Rhett with love and happiness when his life after Cara turns dramatic when he accidently falls for her half-sister Constance! The characters are down-to-earth and real and the situation is dramatic yet comforting. I would recommend that you read the first book in the series so you are familiar with Rhett’s past and get to know the story behind Cara and Decker and company before reading this one so you’ll get the full affect.

Con is a sweetheart and really is misunderstand and judged way more than she deserves. I really enjoyed seeing her fall for Rhett and get to be loved for herself.

Rhett made decisions that made him the bad guy, but his heart is good and seeing him with Con is really sweet.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that enjoys a laid back MC romance that has a group of close knit friends and family who will do anything for the other as love comes knocking when they least expect it.

She’s the only woman he’s ever loved, and the one he could never have…
Years after losing one of their best friends to a dare gone wrong, Devlin “Dare” Whiskey continues to live up to his name, endlessly testing fate, while Billie Mancini buried the best parts of herself. Billie is beautiful and tough, and battling demons Dare has no idea exist. But Dare is done watching her pretend to be something she’s not and takes on his most important challenge yet—showing the woman he loves that some dares are worth the risk.

I don’t know where Melissa Foster keeps coming up with these sexy, sweet, and heart melting men she creates, but I’m here for every single one of them! Redemption Ranch might just be my new favorite hangout if all of the men residing there are going to be as yummy as Dare. He stole my heart early in the book and didn’t let go throughout. Highly emotional, sexually scrumptious and addictive as all get out!

Devlin “Dare” Whiskey is the epitome of a good-hearted man. He loves hard and he doesn’t forget it a day of his life.

Billie is easy to understand even though she walked away from so much in her life when tragedy struck. I enjoyed seeing her work through healing and re-engaging with those who love her so much.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a sexy as sin hero who has a heart of gold and isn’t afraid to shout his love from the rooftops.

Montana Mystery by Josie Jade, Janie Crouch
Series: Resting Warrior Ranch #4
Published by Calamittie Jane Publishing on July 12, 2022

Some nightmares you don’t wake up from.

Noah Scott spent two months in an enemy prison camp but made it out alive—unlike most of his SEAL team. He’s one of the lucky ones but doesn’t always feel that way with his scarred body and daily fight against PTSD.

Working with the animals at the Resting Warrior Ranch helps. So what if he trains service dogs, fosters a couple of kittens, and has an alpaca as one of his best friends?

He’ll take whatever holds back the darkness.

When beautiful Kate Tillbeck arrives at the Resting Warrior Ranch neck deep in danger, Noah knows he can’t stand by silently. Especially when the threat centers around a dog fighting ring—and some of the pups he trained may be involved.

But to save the animals he loves and the woman he can’t get out of his mind, Noah will have to embrace the darkness he’s pushed down for years.

And hope he doesn’t lose himself in the process.

Chock full of suspense, danger and sexual chemistry! The fourth book in the Resting Warrior Ranch series continues to delve into the former soldier’s lives that founded this ranch to help fellow soldiers suffering from PTSD as they are hot on the heals of a dog fighting ring in the neighboring area. I wasn’t as invested in this book as I normally have been the ones earlier in the series. It was intriguing and a solid read, but something fell a little flat for me. I’m still looking forward to the next in the series though.

Noah is a solid character with a heart of gold, but I don’t think his background was developed quite enough to really make his suffering gut-wrenching to the reader.

Kate is a bit naive in the trust she places in her brother, but I liked her regardless.

I recommend this book and the rest of the series to anyone that enjoys a group of former soldiers coming together to make a connection for life and help others who might have suffered their same experiences. The intrigue is high, the emotional connections are satisfying and the romance is sweet and sassy.
