Nicole and the Unending TBR

I had seen this author's books floating around on Instagram and jumped at the chance to grab one on Netgally. Yes, I started with the last book in the series. It in no way lessened my enjoyment of this beautiful story. I love stories of people who get second chances. I love the opposites attract trope. And I love a strong redemption arc. This book had all of that. The author crafters characters that have their own flaws and struggles. I loved the hero. Though wounded and scarred from his past mistakes, he was lovable and I couldn't help but root for him. I loved his protective nature as well. Always here for the protective hero. The heroine is the opposite of him in many ways, and yet she was so relatable to a fellow rule abider like myself. I loved the way each character had to work through their struggles. In some ways I wished to see them work together through some of those things. Yet the story was so satisfying and tugged in my heartstrings a few times, inspiring all the f...

Man, I loved this book! If you are like me and love a generous helping of romance with your romantic suspense you simply must try Sara Blackard! This book had it all! Two people,traped in a race for survival in the Alaskan wilderness. Swoony kisses. A tale of redemption and second chances. I am a fan! I loved that she incorporated characters from Stryker, because that was the series that hooked me on her books. She writes action that always keeps you wondering what is around the corner and simply sigh worthy romance that gives all the feels. I truly loved it. I was provided a copy of this book from the author. All opinions are honest and completely my own.

Five stars are not enough. This book was amazing. Everything and more from what I expected after reading book one. This book hit the ground running and do much of all the peices that were set in motion in book one came into play here. The romance was superb. Pure poetry, pure beauty. I loved the weaving of the themes through this book. This is one that I will absolutely be rereading. I may have read several quotes and chapter 25 twice already. I have no regrets. This book is a work of art that I know I can expect from Tamara Leigh's books. I lived how the characters got to know and trust each other. The romance was built off of who they became to each other. Sinjin is one of my new favorite TL hero! I have several of his quotes highlighted. I loved Ondine as a character and the growth that you see in her arc. Ahhhhhh, the worst hangover after this one. Can't wait for the next installment of the series! This book is a perfect example for why I consider Tamara Leigh the queen of ...

Are you ready for a whole series of sweet contemporary romance featuring...*drumroll* .....FIREFIGHTERS? If you aren't interested move along, but if you are you will definitely want to check out this series by Tara Grace Ericson! This story is filled with small town charm and a story of second chances.  I always enjoy a fake relationship that turns real and this one definitely gives the feels. I loved the hero! He was so sweet and steadfast, just a great guy. I didn't really understand the heroione's drive for Hollywood but it didn't interfere with my enjoyment.  As the greedy person I am I did wish for a little more on page chemistry between the two characters,  especially since this is a second chance romance.   This book has that sweet Hallmark'ish feel with a bonus of a faith element woven into the character's journey.  A fun read and a great set up for book 2 that I am here for! I recieved a complementary copy of this book from the author.  All op...

This is a hard review to write.  Not because this isn't a great book, but because it is the last in the series. And I know the author is taking a writing break. This has been a series that has taken me through a roller coaster of feels. This book tells Cameron's story.  I was wondering how this author was going to bring his redemption story and she pulled it off in a masterful, beautiful way. These characters are real, raw, wounded and learn to grow beyond their past.  The heroine was fun to get to know and we got two pics! Yay! The romance built gradually and had some great moments and sweetly romantic.  A perfect summer read with depth and heart. The description of music and faith was beautiful and vivid,  I loved experiencing what music meant to these characters  While I think Bryson in book two will always be my favorite, this story was beautiful, redemptive and pulled on my heartstrings in some major ways. Highly recommended for lovers of contemporary ...

Do you enjoy fast paced romantic suspense? Impending Strike is a book that always has something happening. I enjoyed the way the amnesia trope was was incorporated. If you enjoy the kind of banter between Zeva and Tony in NCIS you will definitely enjoy the dynamic of Lizzie and Charlie. Glutton for romance that I am, didn't wish for more romance between the two main characters. Yet that is often what I say in romantic suspense…. That said this story has twists, action, mystery and a story about making peace with the past. A good, fast read for romantic suspense lovers. I received a complementary copy of this book from the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are completely my own and honest.

The book was the sequel I didn't realize I needed to read! For me, coming back to Maple Springs is a bit like coming back to my beginning of reading Basham books. I got my very first look into her writing through Laurel's Dream and have loved each one of her books since then. To be able to come back was just the break 8n my reading schedule that I needed. This book is a bit on the shorter side (200 or so pages), yet the story is so sweet and the pacing is just right to not only hold my attention, but had me up late to see how everything would work out. It was a delight. Jeb is just the sweetest, most protective mountain man ever. Do I need to go further? Like really? Cora has spunk in the right doses, with her heart for helping others. I loved the chemistry between the two main characters. Because I am always about the romance! Great characters! And some beautiful and touching events take place to characters that I now realize that I really am glad we got to see them in this st...
