Two babies. One houseguest…

A forever family?

Midwife Lisandra panics when the hospital elevator gets stuck—just as her water breaks! Luckily, she’s trapped with obstetrician Malachi, who expertly cares for her. Having lost everything since her fiancé’s death, she has nowhere to go, so Malachi offers her and her babies a temporary place to stay. But living with the brooding workaholic is less convenient when a spark ignites between them! Could her knight in shining armor also become a father for her twins?

 

Highly addictive and unputdownable! I adored this book! From the drama that began on page one when her water breaks just as she gets stuck in the elevator with a handsome stranger, to the adorable babies stealing the show, to the warmth of seeing a former workaholic form a bond so consuming it makes him see the way to balancing more than one thing in his life. The characters are down-to-earth and really easy to like and their story is fast paced and heartwarming. Loved every minute!

She’s willing to give him everything in bed

But will she risk her career for passion?

Keely Tucker knows designing a showstopping wedding dress for a movie starlet is the career-making opportunity of a lifetime. But Jacob Chatman has sent her focus into a tailspin! When a blackout leaves her stranded with a rancher she can’t resist, their passion practically sets the sheets on fire. Jacob admires her drive…but is their hookup worth Keely risking her hard-earned ambitions for a life in Texas?

 

Tantalizingly addictive! With the second book in the Texas Cattleman’s Club: The Wedding series, we get dress designer Keely and rancher Jacob’s story and it’s deliciously steamy! The characters were intriguing and I enjoyed their connection, but it wasn’t one of my favorites in the TCC line up because the writing style and overuse of slang was distracting to a point but the chemistry that the couple had made them win me over regardless. The ending needed a little more to make it less abrupt and more fulfilling. I’m looking forward to more in the series!

Earning her trust

Is the start of his second chance.

Crab fisherman Gus Colman is just trying to make a living for his daughter. But when his fishing boat capsizes, he’s injured and stranded in Hearts Bay, Alaska, where he comes face-to-face with Mia Madden—his late best friend’s fiancée. As she helps him recover, he works hard to prove he’s changed. But could Mia ever love another man who risks his life at sea?

 

Heartfelt and deeply emotional! The third book in Heidi McCahan’s Home to Hearts Bay series is a winner all the way around. It brings a grieving fiancée face to face with the man she semi-blames for losing the love of her life while he sets out to prove he’s changed from his irresponsible ways and is now determined to give his precious little girl an ideal life. The back stories of each character are powerful and brings many emotions to the forefront of the storyline. His adorable little girl infuses a sweet innocence that will bring a smile to the reader’s face. I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a faith based romance filled with grit and forever afters.

He can’t forget the kiss he shared with the best man.

But is he the best man for him?

His sister’s wedding isn’t the ideal place for Rafael Navarro to reconnect with the man he kissed in a moment of reckless abandon. But it’s impossible to avoid best man Étienne Galois! The gorgeous Haitian photographer hasn’t forgotten the intimate moment they shared, even if Rafi is the most maddening person he’s ever met. Can the two find common ground, proving opposites not only attract—they can become lovers for life?

 

Highly addictive and emotional! Sera Taino’s Navarro family series is continuing with a relationship between Val’s brother Ravi and Philips’s BFF Etienne and you are not going to want to miss this slow-burn, sassy gay romance! The characters are easy to like and the family dynamics pushing them together adds a warm setting for the start of their romance. I adored Etienne and loved the way he opened up his heart to Ravi. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a sincere group of characters who have to deal with the ins and outs of life and how it shapes you on their way towards forever. I’m looking forward to more in the series!

This summer…

…will these opposites attract?

Taking a break from her high stress job, Frankie expected to be picking grapes on a vineyard—not running the restaurant instead! But the instant fireworks with her brooding new boss meant he was impossible to say no to—for all the right reasons. While Dante may seem uptight, Frankie enjoys how she can use her new carefree attitude to help unbutton this tempting tycoon and reveal his long-buried playful side…

 

Michelle Douglas always delivers a gorgeously depicted setting for her stories! The Tuscan countryside quickly comes alive in the reader’s mind as Douglas weaves a tale of a vineyard setting and begins to endear her heroine into our heart. The story is fast paced and rich with culture and emotion. I particularly liked Dante and his devotion to honoring his grandfather. I highly recommend this story to anyone who enjoys a romance filled with strong characters with a bit of drama on their way towards happily ever after together.
