He’s already surrendered his heart, but now he’ll risk his life.</span></span></span></div>

But as location manager Claire Montgomery knows, real life offers constant challenges, especially in an industry dominated by men. For her new project, Claire needs access to a beautiful Art Deco cinema located in Starlight Creek, a small town in northern Australia wine country. Though the movie theater and its elderly owner, Hattie, are both charming, Hattie’s handsome great-nephew isn’t so easy to convince. Claire must win their trust and permission, though even if she succeeds, she’ll face more complications that she could have anticipated . . . </span></div>

But with increased visibility comes a greater awareness of what’s expected from women in her position. Lena is not willing to stay silent and go along with the game.

Her beloved fiancé, Gideon Bates, is awaiting his turn in the draft to fight in the Great War. Elizabeth is finding it hard to think of anything else, but Gideon has thrown himself into his work, preparing wills for soldiers before they ship out. Corporal Tom Preston is part owner of Preston Shoes, a company that is making footwear for the army, so he has a rather large estate. He needs a new will, however, because he has just been secretly married to a woman whom his family would never approve. He wants to make sure she and their unborn child are provided for if he does not return.</span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" /><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">When Tom is later reported killed, Elizabeth and Gideon learn that the new will has gone missing after Tom's bride revealed her identity to his family. Unless the new will is found and validated, the original will, which leaves everything to Tom's brother, will prevail and the wife and child will get nothing. If Tom's new bride survives, that is. Some terrible threats have been leveled against her, and Elizabeth and Gideon must figure out a way, legal or not quite, to secure Tom's fortune for his wife and child while saving her life in the process.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span class="s2"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span class="s2">When it comes to historical suspense, Victoria Thompson is one of the best. Like many of you I am a cozy mystery fan. But I do sometimes get a little tired of magical cats and baked goods...lol. The third installment in the Counterfeit Lady series, City of Scoundrels really hit the spot for me. You get all of the cozy mystery goodness with some hardcore historical background, a bit of espionage and a con that would make any grifter proud!</span></span></div>

<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I liked:</span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">This one has some bite to it! I like that. I don’t always want fluff and Victoria Thompson proves you can write good clean suspense that will keep you as riveted to the pages as any mainstream mystery or thriller. The historical setting alone makes this novel worth the read. Thompson takes readers to New York City in 1918. Two important historical occurrences were in play, the 1918 flu epidemic and WW1. Both play a significant role in this book and the author does an amazing job of making the reader feel the impact of the times and what it felt like to live through them.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Elizabeth is quite a lady. If you’ve read the previous books in the series you already know that Elizabeth is a “reformed” con artist. Well, not exactly. She still uses her particular set of skills to her advantage and to help people along the way. I like the fact that Elizabeth is a robin hood of sorts. She cons the rich, wealthy scoundrels and helps the poor. In this case, a war widow being cheated out of her husbands money. Elizabeth showed a lot of heart but she also showed her tenacity and determination. You can’t help but love this character!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Gideon is a straight laced lawyer type. How he ends up with a family of grifters is still the real mystery. I loved both angles that Thompson uses with Gideon in this book. Not only is he awaiting his impending deployment to the battlefields of WW1 but he ends up contracting influenza at a very critical time. He has spent his time waiting by making wills for soldiers, a very honorable thing. I always feel like Gideon is just a really good man. He wants Elizabeth to forget her old ways but he can also see the benefits. I loved that he was willing to explore the possibilities.</span></span></div>

<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Not much to dislike about this one, but there one thing I found a little hard to follow. I loved the whole idea of Elizabeth and her family pulling the con to get the widow Rose her due, however the details of the con were somewhat lost on me. I understood the details as they occurred but when they were just discussing it, it’s a lot to process, so keep that in mind.</span></span></div>

<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This is such a great series and Victoria Thompson really writes it well. Her attention to detail, and her knowledge of the period lend an air of authenticity to this novel that is often lacking in some historical cozies. This one should be high on your list of must reads!</span></span></div>

To Matilda, who considers herself an aging spinster daughter, marriage is laughable—love is a game for the young, after all. But her quiet, ordered life unravels when a dashing gentleman from her past reappears, threatening to charm his way into her heart yet again.</span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" /><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Charles Sawyer, Viscount Dirkson, does not expect to face Matilda Westcott thirty-six years after their failed romance. Moreover, he does not expect decades-old feelings to emerge at the very sight of her. When encountering Matilda at a dinner hosted by the Earl of Riverdale, he finds himself as fascinated by her as he was the first day they met, and wonders whether, after all these years, they have a chance at happiness together. Charles is determined to crack the hard exterior Matilda has built up.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span class="s2"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span class="s2">There has certainly been a bit of controversy with Mary Balogh’s latest addition to the Wescott series, Someone to Remember. I won’t focus too much on that, but I will make a few comments later in the review. This is a lovely story of second chance love with an older couple that I thought was beautifully written and necessary to those readers who enjoy the entire Westcott family. We just can’t leave out, Aunt Matilda! </span></span></div>

<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I liked:</span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Matilda Westcott has always done the right thing. She’s taken care of her mother stoically and supported her family unfailingly. Readers have watched her character develop over the course of the first six books in the Westcott series. In early books she comes across as a bit fussy, maybe even a little rigid. But we didn’t know much about her past or how her circumstances landed her where she was. I thought Balogh did a great job of tantalizing the reader with possibilities in the last book Someone to Love where Matilda is reunited with an old love. I’m very happy that she decided to give Matilda a story in Someone to Remember. She brings a secondary character to the forefront so that readers can see a new side to not only Matilda but to the way her family sees her.</span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The main couple Matilda and Charles are not your typical hero and heroine. At the ripe age of 56, Matilda once again finds love. I thought this was such a beautiful story about love during a later stage in life. Balogh shows their tempestuous love affair from years past and then shows the changes that have occurred to the couple over time. But the one thing that remains is love. </span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Charles and Matilda’s love story is told in about ten chapters and each one shows great care and attention to detail. Novella’s are not meant to be long. The stories they tell don’t require as much development as a full length novel. In this case readers already know Matilda well. Balogh is an excellent writer of this historical period and I’m never disappointed in her writing.</span></span></div>

<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I didn’t:</span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Charles may have needed a bit more attention. Though readers of the series have had an ongoing relationship with Matilda, Charles is relatively new and therefore exciting. As reader I want to know more about him. Why he was so devilish in his youth. Why he chose one path in the aftermath of love and Matilda chose another. We learn a lot in this quick trip to the Westcott world but I always want more! LoL 😂 </span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The big controversy involving this book is pretty simple to understand and really could have been avoided in a couple of ways. First, I would always encourage readers to look at the information provided by the book seller you purchase from. Read the publication details. Read the reviews but also take them with a grain of salt because they are subjective. It was clearly noted that this story was a novella. It was never meant to be a full length novel. </span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Secondly, the publisher should have corrected the page length number to reflect the number of pages in the actual story and not in the story plus excerpts from the previous books. That was clearly a mistake in hindsight. Also, the publication details nor the description of the book notes that approximately a third of the length is excerpts. That is a lot. And I’m sure some readers did not feel like they got their money’s worth.</span></span></div>

<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Bottom Line:</span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Controversy or no controversy this is a very good novella. As a reader of this series I wanted Matilda’s story. I wanted her happy ever after. Balogh gave me a well developed character that I already knew and loved and just told me another story about her. I didn’t need the full length though more time with this family is always appreciated. I do think Balogh was a bit short changed on how this book was marketed but that is certainly not a black mark on her writing. Read it! It’s good!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span class="s2"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">A.C. Arthur is another new author for me. I’m always looking for good ones when it comes to the paranormal romance sub genre. This lady has a good track record with another shifter series so I decided to start at the beginning with first book in her new Legion series, Awaken the Dragon. This one has lots of action, several different paranormal characters and a very strong lead couple. It’s a good start to the series. We will see where this one goes.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.8px;">

<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I liked:</span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Theo is a Drakon.... never heard of that before? Me either. That’s half dragon, half human. He lives as a human and has his own security business. He is also next in line for the Drakon throne which gives him even more power. Theo is a total alpha male. He’s strong, he’s determined and formidable. Oftentimes with paranormal romance you get a powerful hero but the heroine isn’t quite up to the challenge. Not in this book! Arthur really comes through by giving Theo a love interest that is in every way his equal. This bad boy deserved a great leading lady. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">In the course of his daily business, Theo and his agents are tasked with protecting, Shola N’Gara of the river tribe. Shola has a specific destiny. She may not be a black dragon with gorgeous turquoise eyes like Theo but she is every bit as dangerous. I loved her spirit and her take no crap attitude. She could stand toe to toe with any of those dragons. I like a heroine who knows her own mind and can stand with her hero no matter what comes against them.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The paranormal aspect of the series was interesting and well developed. You had dragons, vampires, demigods and other assorted paranormal characters. Shifters of any kind are my favorite but dragon shifters were really cool in this world. The world itself was teeming with mystery. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">There was a bit of mystery and tons of action in this one. It was a fast paced ride and didn’t slow down much. Pitting Theo against his father provides some serious conflict. Making the choice between your family and the person you love is tough no matter what the reason is or who is in the right. I thought the author did a great job with that part of the story.</span></div>

<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I didn’t:</span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The reader is dropped right into this world from the first page of the book. There isn’t a lot of backstory in the beginning and I feel like some readers may be a little overwhelmed. If you stick with it, it does get better and explains more. If you’re new to the sub genre it might not be your best choice to start out with primarily because first impressions are everything when you are trying to hook a reader.</span></span></div>

<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Bottom Line:</span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This was a good first book. The lead couple was great and the side characters were really interesting. I’m sure we will see more of them as the series continues. I liked the Drakon” half human, half dragon concept. I’ll definitely be reading book two.</span></span></div>

And Hallie—Texas socialite, would-be ballerina, and the only daughter of the renowned Prince family—is ready to give her two-timing fiancé a piece of her mind. But fate plants hot, sexy ranch hand and ex-Army Ranger Rafael Fontana quite literally in her way. Her childhood friend is all grown up.

But now he’s back at Three Rivers Ranch to help his family and Hallie is there too—and she needs his support. Soon long-buried feelings boil to the surface, and the desire between them is hot and palpable and undeniable. Rafe realizes he wants Hallie—and her adorable puppy—for keeps… he just has to convince her.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span class="s2"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span class="s2">Julia London is an author I haven’t read too much from. She’s very popular and has won many accolades. I have enjoyed every book of hers that I have read but the opportunities have been few for whatever reason. That being said I would definitely recommend her new novel, The Devil in the Saddle. This in the second book in the Princes of Texas series. London brings readers a friends to lovers story that is both heartwarming and steamy. With tons of witty banter and characters that will win your heart, this one is a keeper!</span></span></div>

<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I liked:</span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The friends to lovers trope is always a favorite of mine. This is a situation that often happens in real life and I think readers enjoy the idea that hey maybe this could happen to me. It’s easy to relate to and it’s engaging. In Devil in the Saddle our hero, Rafe has always had secret feelings for his long time friend, Hallie. But there seemed to be something standing the way. I thought London did an excellent job of showing how this couples feelings for each other changed over the course of the story. How they moved beyond Rafe being Hallie’s shoulder to cry on, to becoming her support for a new life choice and kept going from there. It wasn’t a slow start at all just a nice easy flow.</span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">One thing that stood out to me about this book is that the story was more than just your run of the mill romance. Hallie is the only daughter in the Prince family, who are practically considered royalty in their Texas community. Rafe is the son of one of the Ranch employees. Readers will feel and understand Rafe’s struggle to see himself as good enough for Hallie because of the social class barriers and the good intentions of those who want to see Hallie marry well. I thought London did a wonderful job showing the reader that it doesn’t matter whether you come from money or from a hard working family, love doesn’t see the obstacles. It sees the possibilities.</span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Hallie has really been through the wringer when this book begins. After a hard night of drinking tequila and sleeping in her fancy wedding gown, she finds herself rescued by her long time friend, Rafe. She’s been through a lot from losing her father to getting rid of her cheating fiancé . I loved the way Hallie took some time. She pulled herself together and decided to move on with her life much to the chagrin of her family. Her choices aren’t what they want but Rafes support allows her safety while she redefines her dreams. Loved that aspect of the story! London fosters the idea that it is up to you to change your life both in Hallie’s story and in Rafe’s.</span></span></div>

<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I didn’t:</span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">At first our heroine doesn’t come off as a sweet Texas girl. She’s a little bit spoiled. A little bit catty. And a whole lot of trouble. Some readers may have a hard time deciding if they like Hallie. But give it some time. Believe me, she grows on you and she grows up.</span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Rafe was a great character in every way but it did take him a little while to get out of his own way. Yes, he’s the employee and she’s the bosses daughter but in 2019, does that really matter? Sometimes I wonder...</span></span></div>

<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Bottom Line:</span></span><br />
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s2" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Julia London is a great writer! This book had a good storyline.

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Come home to Silver Springs for the holidays, where broken hearts learn to love again…together. </strong><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" /><span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">So much for forever. When Harper Devlin’s rock star husband ditches her on his way to the top, she takes her two daughters to her sister’s place in Silver Springs for the holidays, hoping family can heal her broken heart. But comfort comes in unexpected places when she crosses paths with local Tobias Richardson.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" /><span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">The moment Tobias spots Harper, he recognizes a sadness he knows all too well. After spending thirteen years in prison paying for his regretful past, Tobias is ready to make amends, and maybe helping Harper is the way to do it. But offering her a shoulder to cry on ignites a powerful attraction and a desire neither saw coming.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" /><span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Fearing her reaction, Tobias doesn’t reveal his checkered past. He’s falling hard, and if Harper finds out, he’ll lose her for good, especially because her famous ex is now trying to win her back. Secrets have a way of coming out, but maybe this Christmas will bring Tobias the forgiveness—and the love—he deserves.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Brenda Novak brings readers a story of redemption and second chances in her latest Silver Springs novel, <b>Christmas in Silver Springs</b>. This book has small town charm, well developed characters, great backstory and plenty of romance. What are the chances that a rockstars former bride will fall for a man with a checkered past? I’d say the odds are in their favor in Silver Springs! </span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I liked:</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">There is a lot to like in this book! Brenda Novak has been writing romance novels for a long time and to say she has a knack for it, is an understatement. Novak’s books are always of the highest quality. This author does her homework. Her characters are very well defined. They are easy for readers to relate to and often remind them of themselves or someone they know. We might not all be the wife of a rockstar but many know the sting of a failed relationship. We may not have spent time in prison but we do know what it’s like to feel the hurt of negative opinions. This is a story of finding redemption both in life and in love. Harper and Tobias are one of my favorite couples Novak has written.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Readers first met Tobias in previous books in the series. His story is a sad one and I think readers will find his happy ever after very satisfying. After being in prison for 13 years following a terrible accident, Tobias is not expecting to fall in love. He isn’t expecting Harper at all. But the attraction between them is undeniable and before he knows it he’s in deep and she has no idea about his past. </span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Harper just wants heal. Her rockstar husband got famous and called it quits. She takes her children to Silver in search of peace and comfort. Tobias is a complete surprise. She never saw him coming but will his secrets and doing the right thing for her children stand in their way?</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Both characters compliment each other so well. Novak is able to draw the reader into their relationship right from the start. I liked that Harper knew her own mind and decided what she wanted and totally went for it. I never understand why people can’t be decisive when it comes to love. If you love him, you love him. What’s to debate? Tobias is so unassuming and low key. One would assume he doesn’t want to draw attention because of his past but as a reader I find myself thinking it’s because he has learned hard lessons in life and keeps good council with his friends. He has an air of wisdom about him except when it comes to keeping his secret. </span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Oh Tobias! He has learned so much but when comes to love he’s a bit of a dunderhead... 😂 Don’t keep secrets. I think we’ve all been there. Some of us worse than others. All it does get you in trouble. It may turn out well for him in the end but remember for your own selves honesty is what most partners are looking for.</span></span></div>

I definitely recommend it and just about everything else Brenda Novak writes. She’s top notch when it comes to romance. Great, relatable characters, perfect small town setting. And a very satisfying story. Excellent!</span></span></div>

Will one cowboy’s homecoming be the greatest gift of all?</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>He left town and never looked back.</b><br />Cody Ford is a Wall Street honcho with humble Texas roots. This holiday season, he’d be content to just stay in New York and not face his family―and dodge their questions about when and with whom he plans to settle down. . .and if he will do so back at home. But his father isn’t getting any younger, and Cody doesn’t want to miss any last chances to see him and the rest of the folks back on the ranch. The last person Cody was expecting to see? His one-time girlfriend, Lexi Murphy, who’s been working as his dad’s new live-in nurse.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>She never forgot him. Can she ever forgive him?</b><br />Lexi still holds a grudge against Cody. Back then, the college-bound heartthrob believed he was too good for a small-town girl like Lexi. But now Cody can’t help but see her in a whole new light. Could it be that this beautiful single mother with an unbeatable can-do spirit is the one he’s been waiting for all along? That depends on whether Cody can prove to Lexi that, this time, he means business―and if a sudden snowstorm can lend just the right amount of Christmas magic to help move things along. . .</span></div>

Now, with the encouragement of the canny islanders, and watching two of their best friends tie the knot in a romantic winter wedding, Kira will ignite Shay’s heart—and weave the perfect Celtic Christmas to say </span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-style: italic;">aye do</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> . . .</span></span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Thoughts</b>:</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Kilts at Christmas time. Yes, I know I have a love for highlanders and I tend to review my fair share of books about them. I’m of Scottish decent myself and I love to see how Scottish people are portrayed in romance novels as well as other genres. Donna Kauffman’s Hot Scot series is a guilty pleasure of mine and “Santa in a Kilt,” is a perfect quick read for the busy holiday season.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.8px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I liked:</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">As I’ve mentioned before, novellas are often short and sweet. “Santa in a Kilt,” is certainly that. This is a previously released novella that originally appeared in a collection of stories called Unwrapped. So, if it seems familiar that may be why. I did not read it the first time it came out so it was new and fresh for me. It was a great chance to see where some characters from the previous books in the series were now along with meeting a new leading couple.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Kira is a strong independent woman. She has returned to the island of Kinloch after a messy divorce. Her basket weaving business is finally doing well and she’s ready to explore a crush she has on Shay. Shay is a jaded divorce attorney that doesn’t see much use for marriage, but he is attracted to Kira. This novella explores what happens who two broken people come together and take a chance at love. I loved their connection, their chemistry and their playful attitude with each other. Kauffman packs a lot into this story and readers will love every second. </span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The Christmas setting for this one was perfect. I loved Roan’s winter wedding. It was just gorgeous and how could it not provide a great backdrop to Kira and Shay’s love story. It was nice to see Graham again also. You can’t have a Scottish book set in present day and not have a visit from the laird, now can you. This was a great mix of previous characters and new ones. It was definitely time for the last of the boys to find love.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I didn’t:</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I didn’t mind the Scottish brogue of the characters in this book because That’s part of what I enjoy about any book set in Scotland. But I am sure there will be some readers who find it tedious. Keep it in mind but you still gotta read it.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">A novella is never quite long enough to satisfy the voracious readers among us but this one is definitely worth the trade off.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Bottom Line:</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I recommend you give this one a try. It’s a sweet quick read that will leave you smiling. Great lead couple. Lots of fun banter and steamy moments and of course a wonderful happy ever after.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Desperate to escape an unhappy marriage, Boston socialite Evelyn Perkins flees west in hopes of losing herself to the dusty frontier. But when her train is boarded by outlaws, Evelyn is taken for ransom. Despite her terror, Evelyn fears being returned to her husband more. Refusing to co-operate, she becomes the responsibility of a man whose steady gaze threatens to pierce her brave façade and reach the wounded heart within.</span></div>

He would do anything to protect her, but dangerous men are on their trail, and soon the two must face Evelyn's darkest nightmare―or risk losing the unexpected joy they've found forever...</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">It’s always a pleasure to join the Mackenzie clan any time of the year but at Christmas it seems that much more perfect. A Mackenzie clan Christmas features two novellas. One new story and one previously released. Jennifer Ashley has a knack for writing about families and I’ll have to say the Mackenzies are quite fascinating. Both stories feature Ian Mackenzie, who happens to be my favorite Mackenzie man. Don’t miss this chance to catch up with the clan, see how the next generation is coming along and maybe catch a ghost or a robber or both. 😉</span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I liked:</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I always enjoy a novella. It’s a quick visit to a world and characters that you are either already familiar with from longer books or it’s an introduction to the writing and style of a new author. I’ve been a fan of this series for long time so this is like a visit with friends. Like getting to catch up on all the gossip and what’s happening with the family. I loved how Ashley was able to just draw the reader back in to Kilmorgan Castle and into the clan. </span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The first novella in this one is called, “A Mackenzie Yuletide.” It’s a new tale about the clan featuring my favorite leading man Ian and this time we get to see how the next generation compares. There’s a bit of a mystery and a ghost. Readers will love seeing how Ian’s love for Beth and his children has evolved. I really enjoyed this one. It showed how inquisitive and engaging the children of the brothers were and definitely makes the reader hope one day they will get their own books. Especially Ian’s son Jamie. And Mac painting in his studio in just his kilt... Oh my! Lol 😂 </span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The second novella is a repeat release. “ A Mackenzie Clan Gathering,” was released a few years ago but was still a nice refresher from the past. It is set before the events in, “A Mackenzie Yuletide.”There has been a robbery at Kilmorgan Castle and some of Hart’s priceless art collection has been taken. Again this story primarily focuses on Ian, which I certainly won’t complain about. He is a wonderful hero. He is eccentric to just the right degree and always up for a challenge. I love reading about him.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">As with all the books in this series, there is always an air of mystery to them. It’s something that really adds to the stories and gives the reader a secondary focus besides just the romance. The story arc of Ian’s “madness” also gives the reader a different angle. Ashley has done a wonderful job of adding the right ingredients to produce a world that is both endearing and very engaging.</span></span><br />

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I didn’t:</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I can’t find too much wrong with any of Jennifer Ashley’s work. With a novella there’s always a double edged sword. It’s a quick trip. And I am always left wanting more when I read them. But also, it’s a quick trip which is easy to read when you don’t have time for a whole novel. I love these characters so much I would probably enjoy even a paragraph about them.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What’s not to like about four Scottish brothers who live in a castle? Not much! “A Mackenzie Clan Christmas,” hit the spot for me in my holiday reading. Family, mystery, ghosts, robbers, a little bit of madness. Now that’s interesting!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">If you’re looking for good Urban Fantasy reading you can’t go wrong with Jane Yellowrock! Faith Hunter has created a series with the perfect blend of fast paced action, paranormal characters and a smidge of romance. The thirteenth book in the series, Shattered Bonds, finds Jane seriously injured and dying from an incurable magical cancer. Readers will be on the edge of their seats as they watch Jane fight the most terrifying bad guy in the series so far. So much story in one novel! Mind blowing!</span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I liked:</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What’s not to like with a new Jane Yellowrock book? This is a series that really solidifies for me why I like Urban Fantasy. Sure, I love a good romance. But, I also find that I don’t need that strong romantic undertone to make a book a good read for me. I love action and suspense. A good book with a lot of that often hits the spot for me. Battles and strong characters that must make hard choices just feels good to read about. Let’s face it! We all know I like paranormal characters from ghosts, to witches, vampires, to shifters. Urban Fantasy has all of this and the Jane Yellowrock series hits all the right buttons.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This is book thirteen. Yep, another long running series. Has it gotten boring? Repetitive? Does it just need to end vbefore it’s ruined? No! No! And absolutely not... ever! This may be book thirteen but it proves that there is a lot more story to tell. Old battles. New enemies. Dark undertones but moments of joy. The future for Jane is definitely still evolving. Shattered Bonds is about looking death in the eye and basically saying give it to me and I’ll show you what I got. It’s intense. Its emotional and it will leave your mouth watering for more.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">One of the things I really enjoyed in this addition to the series was the interaction between Jane and her shifter alter ego, Beast. If you are new to the series you may not know that Jane is staying in her beastly form more than ever in this book. She is dangerously ill and Beast is not. When she is in that form she is free from pain and better able to sustain under the pressures of magical cancer. Beast is often my favorite character in the Jane Yellowrock books and in this one we get more Beast than ever. It’s wonderful to see the parts of Beast we hadn’t thought about before. Is Beast happy? Is she lonely? Does she have needs of her own that may be being ignored in the face of Janes greater work among the supernatural characters in her world? I loved finding out more about her.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">We’ve seen some pretty ugly, mean, down right nasty villains in this series but this one is honestly the worst of the worst. He’s the baddest of the bad. Truly horrific. The second son of darkness is on a rampage after Jane defeated his brother. He’s bent of torturing Jane and one way to do that is to attack her people. Edmund is in the crosshairs of a maniac who uses every torture you can think of. I like bad guys who have roots in reality. This guy reminds me of a real psychopath with no conscience and no remorse. He’s all vengeance and wrath. Terrifying but delicious to read about!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">All of our favorites are back in this one, though I actually did miss Leo. Jane’s friends really shine in this novel. Not only do they exhaust every possibility to help Jane find a cure but they get to be the bad asses in this one. Jane’s normally the one that fields most of the trouble in this series. And that’s not say she doesn’t see her fair share in this one, but let’s face it she’s sick and it was nice to see how Bruiser and the rest of the gang pulled the slack.</span></span></div>

And to make matters worse, local real estate developer Beck Grainger is trying to cut down the beautiful trees that line the property. Lila can’t let this happen; Meg will never forgive her.</span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" /><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Beck can understand Lila’s anger—sort of. The trees are actually on the neighboring property, and the land was zoned for development months ago, so his plans were no secret. But he dislikes being at odds with his friend’s sister, especially because Lila is appealing in every way: loyal, quick-witted and completely stunning. </span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" /><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Lila hates that she’s so attracted to Beck, who seems like a genuinely good man, despite his tree-murdering tendencies. And their chemistry is off the charts. She just wishes he’d let this development go. As Summer Island counts down to a snowy Christmas, Lila and Beck will have to strike a compromise that seems impossible for them both—or risk losing the best thing either of them has ever had</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">For centuries, the Dragon Kings have lived among mortals, forsaking their true selves. But for Kelton, hiding in the realm of shadows―and existing only in the world of dreams―is no longer an option. A human woman claims to know that he, like other dark warriors of his kind, is real. That the legends about these powerful, seductive men with hearts ablaze are true. And that, with just one embrace, Kelton could destroy her…or love her until the end of time.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Bernadette Davies is an anthropologist who knows better than to fall into the arms of a Dragon King. But how can she resist Kelton when he’s so willing to share his secrets and bare his soul? He hasn’t met a beautiful, trustworthy woman like Bernadette in…forever. But once they give into their mutual desire, their worlds will never be the same. Soon Bernadette must face her dilemma: Should she expose the truth about Kelton in the name of science? Or join him in his battle with the dark forces―in the name of love?</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Fans of the Dragon Kings series get a lot for their buck in Fever, the sixteenth book in the series. Donna Grant proves once again why she is a “queen” in the paranormal romance subgenre. Her world building is simply unparalleled and this book brings together a lot of storylines and subplots as the series begins to wind down. This one is fast paced, very revealing and a great addition to the series.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I liked:</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">A lot of paranormal romance readers have been reading this series a really long time. It’s one I would definitely recommend if you are new to the subgenre. When I see book sixteen and I haven’t read any of the others I have to cringe a little bit and wonder if I should take a chance on it. It’s usually a toss up as to whether or not you’ll be able to pick up on what’s going on or if you’ll be totally lost. Fever may be book sixteen in this series but it does an amazing job of giving the reader the necessary details from the first 15 books without giving too much away. A very good thing if you happen to be popping in now.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">There is a lot of things going on in this book. Somebody has been feeding information to an anthropologist who says she has proof dragons exist. The battle with the Fae is heating up. Rhi and Usaeil are on a collision course and we still don’t know who Rhi’s Dragon King is... All of our favorite characters are here including Constantine. We get to see Keltan finally show who he really is and there is certainly some romance. Donna Grant really packed a lot into this novel. You would think with the series winding down we would be getting plenty of answers and we are but Grant never ceases to amaze by also providing new questions, new characters and more information about the Dragon Kings. It’s always a joy to read one of her books.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span class="s1"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I didn’t:</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Bernadette and Keltan are two great characters who seem to be a little overshadowed by the overall story arc in this one. We definitely get some heat and sizzle. Which always happens with a Dragon King but I felt like book was light on the romance. I did enjoy what romance there was in it but I felt like this novel was more about advancing the story than the main couple themselves.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">When you get to book sixteen in a series you have to figure there is going to be a bit of repetition. You’ve probably got sixteen couples. Sixteen dragons needing mates and sixteen different stories to tell that have to work together to continue an overall arc. That’s a lot of stuff. And how many different ways can you tell it? This one was good and Donna Grant handles this problem a lot better than most. Give it some grace just enjoy how much we learn in this one.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This one can be read as a stand alone because of the way Keltan tells Bernadette so much about what has happened before but I really recommend reading them all. You miss so much when read out of order or sporadically. I’m a voracious reader and I just don’t get why people do that and miss so much of the nuances and important details.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Bottom Line:</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This is really good addition to the series. We learn tons about the Dragon Kings and many answers to a lot of our questions. The romance is good what there is of it. The battle mind blowing. You’ll probably go through the gamete of emotions as you read it and it might take a minute to recover before the next one. Phew! It’s quite a ride.</span></span></div>

Her beloved fiancé, Gideon Bates, is awaiting his turn in the draft to fight in the Great War. Elizabeth is finding it hard to think of anything else, but Gideon has thrown himself into his work, preparing wills for soldiers before they ship out. Corporal Tom Preston is part owner of Preston Shoes, a company that is making footwear for the army, so he has a rather large estate. He needs a new will, however, because he has just been secretly married to a woman whom his family would never approve. He wants to make sure she and their unborn child are provided for if he does not return. </span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24);" /><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24);" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24);">When Tom is later reported killed, Elizabeth and Gideon learn that the new will has gone missing after Tom's bride revealed her identity to his family. Unless the new will is found and validated, the original will, which leaves everything to Tom's brother, will prevail and the wife and child will get nothing. If Tom's new bride survives, that is. Some terrible threats have been leveled against her, and Elizabeth and Gideon must figure out a way, legal or not quite, to secure Tom's fortune for his wife and child while saving her life in the process.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">When the beloved Farm Café in Topaz Falls burns to the ground, widow Darla Michaels comes up with the perfect plan to help her friends rebuild -- a Cowboy Christmas Festival complete with a sexy bachelor auction and a benefit rodeo. But to pull it off, she has to pretend to be engaged to Ty Forrester, the irresistible bull rider who keeps testing her keep-things-casual policy.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">A fake fiancée wasn't on Ty's Christmas list this year, but it's the only way to get his family to visit over the holidays so his NFL-star brother can draw more tourists to the festival. The engagement wouldn't be such a problem if Ty wasn't starting to have real feelings for Darla. Knowing he can't go on pretending, Ty prepares to tell his family the truth-but then he and Darla discover a precious little Christmas surprise that just might help them embrace a whole new life together.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Christmas is a special time of year. It seems to put everyone in the mood to be more helpful and more kind than usual. But, sometimes it’s not just the Christmas spirit. Sara Richardson explores the idea of what a person might be willing to do for a friend in need in her latest novel in the Rocky Mountain Riders series. A Cowboy for Christmas starts with a devastating fire and features everything from a fake fiancé to a bachelor auction. Can a young widow find love in the midst of more cowboys than you can shake a stick at? It could take a Christmas miracle.</span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I liked:</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This one really hit the spot for me. Richardson has created a community in Topaz Falls that just makes you wanna pack up and move there yourself. It’s a small Colorado town that is big on the cowboy lifestyle and full of caring, genuine people. It’s the kind of town readers will fall in love with and want to know more. This is the sixth and final book in the Mountain Riders series and if it’s your first one, you will quickly go pick up the rest. The small town charm is just perfect for love.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Ty Forrester is a Cowboy, through and through. He is a rodeo rider and the head of the Rodeo Association. He’s a clean cut all around good person but he has a rocky relationship with his family to say the least. I really liked Ty because you can just feel his struggle with feeling second best to his NFL star brother. From the way his parents view his career choices to the way they treat his brother. I found myself really sympathizing with him when he lies to get them off his back about coming home for Christmas. But little white lies have a way of becoming big fat catastrophes. Ty was a great hero and full of heart.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Ty was a great leading man but I really had a heart for Darla. If you’ve read previous books in the series you have probably been hoping that Darla got her own book. I was too! And Richardson gave us what we wanted with this one. Darla’s struggle to move on with her life after the death of her husband really hits home. Grief has so many layers and seeing Darla try to always be the life of the party to hide her loneliness was heartbreaking. I loved that Richardson gave Darla a creative mind and a true heart for her friends. She was such a good character and she was so developed and full of life.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I never thought I would like Cowboy romances. Especially ones set in today’s world. But I’ve recently really started to enjoy them. Authors like Caripolyn Bown and Sara Richardson really bring this subgenre of romance to life. Richardson’s characters are just good people. Her attention to detail is flawless and it makes me as a reader really appreciate this type of life. The addition of the Cowboy festival from the bachelor auction to the calendar was just such a perfect idea. I want a festival like that in my town! Lol 😂 </span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">What I didn’t like:</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Ok, I know I said I sympathized with Ty lying about being engaged and I really do. None of us are above saying something now and then to get us out of situations we don’t want to be in. Lying in general, not a good policy. In this book it sets up the story of why Darla and Ty need to pretend to be engaged and helps them along in finding love. But always remember honesty is the best policy.</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I didn’t like Ty’s family. Even after they sort of make up. Ty is a good man. His brother is not. His parents clearly favor Rhett over Ty for no good reason. I know this often happens in real life and I accept that. But they were a real piece of work. </span></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Bottom Line:</span></span><br />
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="s1" style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Overall this a great book and well deserving of the five apples I’m giving it. Heartwarming romance, great friendships, communities supporting their own. It was all good for me. The romance was spot on. The Cowboy festival was a perfect idea. Darla finding love. Ty reconciling with his family. You really want to read this one.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Cozy Mysteries are a subgenre of crime fiction which is a little lighter on things like sex and violence. They usually involve small town crime solvers who may or may not be amateurs. Each cozy series often has a theme that can be anything from coffee to cooking, to magic or even talking pets. The possibilities are endless.</span></span><br />

Now she’s signed on for a role on The American Baking Battle. On this reality show, she can start developing a more authentic image for herself—and as a bonus, the usual backstabbing and manufactured drama isn’t part of the Baking Battle script. But genuine drama is heating up behind the scenes . . .<br /><br />During a film shoot in the scenic Pocono Mountains, Courtney has to juggle career commitments like pots on a six-burner stove. Adding to the stress is Mick, a contestant who finds out about her fake farm-girl story. Determined to succeed at her new gig, she whips up a cherry cobbler in a cast-iron fry pan one evening and leaves it out to cool. But the next morning, it’s Mick’s body that’s cooling—right next to Courtney’s pan, now classified as a murder weapon . . .</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24);"> </span></span></span><br />

Then the next morning, before the yacht can depart the harbor, Gil’s body is found in the water below—and Phoebe and Eva must discover who pushed him over . . . before the Renshaws’ social standing is irreparably stained by Julia’s arrest for his murder . . .</span></span><br />

But now that she’s established herself as the town witch, Ellie’s contentedly casting spells on anyone desperate enough—or gullible enough—to request her mysterious potions…</i> </b><br /><b><i> </i> </b><br />Selling mystical elixirs and tantalizing tonics is a pretty good way for a fake medium to earn a living. Or at least it’s Ellie’s main source of income—until a villager turns up dead. The cause? Murder by poisoning. And though Ellie’s concoctions don’t include anything worthy of a skull and crossbones, suddenly she’s the prime suspect. Her only recourse is to find the culprit who <i>did</i> do away with Sarah Blackthorne. No one liked the mean old battle-axe. But did anyone hate her enough to kill her?<br /><br />It’s enough of a mystery to make Ellie hang up her witch’s hat and take millionaire beau Nicholas Hartford up on his offer to keep her afloat. Except Ellie is not the kind of woman to lean on a man—least of all a man she adores but whose place in her life is uncertain. Besides, Ellie’s taken on two young witches-in-training—apprentices if you will—and both of them are convinced a <i>werewolf</i> is the murderer.<br /><br />Just as Ellie’s wondering if there really is something otherworldly going on, animals suddenly begin to disappear—including her beloved cat, Beast. Now Ellie’s on the warpath to uncover the wicked truth about the people and the place she’s only just begun to call home…</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />
