For Caroline, it's not going to be memorable for t10-year high school reunions are supposed to be memorable. A time to show off your accomplishments. For Caroline, it's not going to be memorable for the reasons she hoped. Who's going to believe that the one who was hometown royalty is a failure in every area? There is someone who sees her for the queen she truly is. Too bad he seems to be invisible to her.
Austin has been in love with Caroline since he first saw her. He had one chance to experience her up close, but she didn't even recognize him. This one experience put him on a path of total grumpiness when it came to women. When he sees Caroline again after 10 years, she still doesn't realize who he is, but he's definitely changed from the sad faced teen with floppy hair.
The banter, heat, and the unrequited passion between the homecoming queen and the grumpy mechanic with a 'blue collar earned' physique meshes perfectly with the hilarious and sweet moments that this author is known for. I connected with Caroline and Austin as if I was part of the class. I absolutely fell for Austin, and his heart shows through with every word. Definitely going to love Sapphire Creek!...more

She loves her body and is comfortable with who she is, but society is not kind to women of her size. All she wants to do is help.
When she literally runs into a bright young girl outside of a surrogacy agency, she educates her about how harsh the world is. Imagine her surprise when she learns the girl is actually there as a way to help out her uncle, who is set on becoming a single father.
Wyatt Fletcher would love nothing more than to be a father. No need for a wife, he just wants a child that he can shower with love. If only the world could understand that. Sure, he lives on a nearly self sustained mountain and in close proximity with two younger brothers, and a pet goat, but he knows if given a chance he'd be a great father.
When the perfect woman shows up on his mountain and is excited about helping him fulfill his dream, he's a little skeptical, especially when she comes with a potbelly pig named Reginald, who takes to his goat like they were part of the same family. Can he survive the whirlwind that is taking over his life and his barn?
These two are perfect for each other! The fireworks and banter of these two characters together is what I love so much about this author. She knows how to make you laugh, while not pulling punches of how the real world can treat people. I loved the family dynamics and all the new members of this spin-off. Definitely a 5 star read!...more
Noel Keller doesn't mean to give off the recluse vibes. He just doesn't talk unless he has something to say. So when he has to do a favor for Willa HaNoel Keller doesn't mean to give off the recluse vibes. He just doesn't talk unless he has something to say. So when he has to do a favor for Willa Hayes and pick up someone from the airport, he doesn't know what hits him when he sees the gorgeous honey blonde goddess standing in the pickup line at the airport.
Bronwen Ainsworth is starting over in a big way, and not just because she's found herself across the Mason Dixon line for the first time. Georgia's first impression leaves her stranded at the airport, and then she has to accept a ride from a complete stranger in an ancient green truck. He even has the audacity to call her 'Honey' a name she can't stand.
If that isn't enough, let's add in crashing ladies night, another rescue or 3. However, not all of Hickory Hills are as welcoming as the gang. Being a northern gal in a Southern town is a challenge all on its own.
Just wait til the beautiful Yankee finds out how much she cranks this Small Town Boy's tractor. If I had a man like Noel, I would be Very Happy. What he lacks in conversation skills he makes up for with his actions and his hands. I loved how he takes care of her, even when she is more than capable of doing it herself.

Frank is on a mission to reconcile with his best friend. He made a mistake four years ago and has been trying to fix it ever since. He doesn't know what to do with the gorgeous spitfire that winds up next to him on a flight to Paris, but the electricity cranks up the more they converse.
Every curveball the universe throws at these two will leave you in stitches! I laughed so much, but trust me the heat will melt you! I have always been a big fan of the way this author writes her men. They are real and unpolished, always telling it like it is and they minds are as dirty as their mouths! 5 steamy spicy stars!...more

Would you rather have a snazzy man in a suit, or a grumpy alpha in flannel? How about both? Pascal Gagnon is just as slick in the office as he is with Would you rather have a snazzy man in a suit, or a grumpy alpha in flannel? How about both? Pascal Gagnon is just as slick in the office as he is with an axe!
Parker may have been the one to get him fired, but she's the only one with the brains and guts to help the Gagnon's figure out what happened to their father. She has her doubts about the town believing she is Lovewell's resident hermit's girlfriend though. Small towns are always curious to a fault and this could be her biggest case yet.
Pascal Gagnon is a control freak of epic proportion. He likes everything in its place and when he is forced to live with a hurricane of a woman, who lives up to the description, he can barely keep it together. He will do it though for the sake of his family, and maybe realize she's just what he needs.
This may be my favorite book of the Lovewell Lumberjacks. I loved the banter and watching these two stubborn individuals pick at each other was hilarious! And man does the author turn up the heat enough to melt a blizzard! Definitely a page turner and worth every star!...more

This is the second book in the Time River series. I have one thing to say, Ryder is so dark and beautiful!
Ryder and Dakota are as close as friends can be, have been forever. They know when the other is present before they enter a room. As they grow, that feeling turns into more, but life and warnings get in the way of it becoming something real.
The secrets and suspense throughout will have you never wanting to put it down. As much as I loved the main characters, there was one particular person who had me hooked from his first appearance. Little Kayden, "K-Bear," the Tiny Tornado himself! This toddler is one for my 'favorite kids' list! Everything about him is ADORABLE!
The way Ryder sacrifices everything for love made my heart stutter. It stopped and started so many times. This author really knows how to keep you on your seat, and how to crank the heat. Dakota is such a fierce woman who never gives up. She will always fight for love. Her recipes need their own book! I wanted to taste every dish!

Rebecca "Becca" Calhoun has a dream of turning her late grandmother's almost condemned mansion into a Bed and Breakfast with fancy rooms, a different color for each one. She is also on the verge of becoming a Mrs. to a sharp dressed financial adviser who doesn't care about her dreams.
The flames and sparks were so hot that they had me looking for a fan! Joe and his "Kitten" set fire to the imagination with her teasing and his dirty thoughts about wanting someone he can't have. The angst factor was off the charts. This one makes me want to go find my own hot as sin, dirty talking, contractor if for nothing else than to add to my fantasy files.
While it wouldn't hurt to read Gravedigger first, because he and his Sunshine's story is just as smoking, it isn't necessary for the plot. They do make a few appearances, and the author also gives a few insights into Moonlighter, who is getting his own hot story. I love me some dirty talking, blue collar men who know how to treat a woman and make me sweat!...more
