Even their feuding families…

Couldn’t stop their love

Mabel Briscoe wasn’t about to dig up her forbidden feelings for Jensen Crawley now that she’d returned to Garrison, Texas. Yet how could she deny the handsome single dad when he asked her to help his little girl get over her fear of animals? Mabel’s special way with four-legged creatures had sweet Samantha believing she was a princess. But Mabel knew falling for a cowboy named Crawley would bring no fairy-tale ending!

Mable and Jensen's  families are sworn enemies but that means nothing to Jensen's young daughter Samantha. Not old enough to know anything about the family feud Samantha is convinced that Mabel is a princess that can talk to animals and nothing could change her mind. It seems Samantha's kindness just might bring Mabel and Jensen closer then ever but could the family feud ruin things between the two?

This was a pretty heartwarming book. I just finished reading another family feud book before this and I was a bit worried that might it might ruin my enjoyment of this book thinking that they'll be the same ol thing. But they were completely different and I really loved how this book turned out. I loved how innocent and sweet Samantha was, she was too young to be hampered by the whole feud between families and wore her heart on her sleeve. I loved how kind Mabel was too, she wasn't the type to push anyone away, she wasn't going to ruin Samantha's view on her or treat Jensen and Samantha with anything but respect. I kept getting peeved by the families on the side reminding the two about the feud and it was clear they weren't the kind to change even if this issue was and old one. It was just a nice read, with sweet moments and I really enjoyed this book.

Facing the past is easier if you don’t have to face it alone.

The Bluebell Inn is turning a profit, and it’s time for the Bennett siblings to sell it and move on. Only Grace has plans to stay in the small lake town of Bluebell, North Carolina, where she hopes her growing outfitters business will save her from the loneliness of her siblings’ departure and the persistent sense of unworthiness in her life.

A gunshot wound resurrects the past for Secret Service agent Wyatt Jennings, and a mandatory leave of absence lands him in Bluebell. There he must come to grips with the tragedy that altered his life fourteen years ago.

When Wyatt books a room at the Bluebell Inn, sparks fly between him and Grace. She volunteers to be his mountain guide, and he soon opens up to her, drawn to her strength and sense of humor. But both are reticent to talk about the survivor’s guilt they each carry, and when their pasts finally collide, their budding romance might not survive the truth.

From the bestselling author of The Convenient Groom and A December Bride (now beloved Hallmark Original movies) comes the third and final novel in the Bluebell Inn series.

“Denise Hunter delivers another must-read!” —Nancy Naigle, author of Christmas Angels 

Now that Bluebell in is renovated and running well the siblings are finally making the move to sell and go their own way. Grace the youngest is still trying to figure out a location other then where she's currently at since they are selling. Wyatt is on a break from work while he gets his head straight and gets Graces help to look for a certain area from his past so that maybe he can finally get past what's been hard to get over for years. 

This was such a sweet read after all the mystery thrillers I've been reading lately. I loved getting to see that attraction between Grace and Wyatt there was the slow simmer between the two but its was clear there was something there and I enjoyed seeing how that romance played out. Grace had a bit of trauma in the past and the family is very much over protective to the point where it get ridiculous but its understandable and I just loved how close knit her family was. Wyatt had some trama himself with his past and he was around bluebell on his break to get some healing and I loved how Grace helped him out with his issues along with him being there for eachother for some tough situations and revelations. Overall this was a pretty good contemporary romance and I really enjoyed myself reading it.

They can’t change the past…

but they can choose their future 

Globe-trotting journalist Cassidy Fulton is back in Carbondale, Colorado. Only she can’t remember why—or the accident that killed her estranged sister. Helping her piece together this mystery is her brother-in-law and former fiancé, Daryl Loveland. Overcoming their grief seems impossible. Yet one thing is clear: Cassidy can’t imagine her life without Daryl or her adorable niece and nephew. But can the ranch ever really be her home?

Cassidy is a Journalist has been working hard getting herself in dangerous situations to reveal the truth behind corruption in different countries. Now shes back home with no memory of a crash she was involved in, the same crash that killed her sister. While trying to gain her memory back of what happens shes going to stick around for Daryl brother-in-law and former fiance. If she didn't have enough on her place old feelings arise and she has an itch to go back to her high risk journalism job that would save people.

I really liked how this book came not wasn't sure what I was getting into when I picked this book up. I loved that there was bit of action in the bits that really show how truly high risk her job was and how that would make having a close family life would make things difficult. Then there was the mystery surrounding what happen in the crash wondering what the two sisters talked about that led her back to help out. I enjoyed seeing that connection rekindle after heartbreak and betrayal happen that wasn't what originally made them split but really solidified that things weren't looking good for the two. You know now that I'm thinking of it when I read a story like this its usually from a different situation where the women is left as a widow and the brother in law is the one that helps, its was interesting seeing it switched around from this point of view. Overall really good book I really enjoyed it.

Spending time with his family is great, but being back on Cape Cod has unearthed painful memories. When sweet, smart, and overly cautious Desiree Cleary moves in next door, Rick is drawn to the sexy preschool teacher, and she just might prove to be the perfect distraction.

Running an art gallery was not in preschool teacher Desiree Cleary’s plans, but after being tricked into coming to her impetuous, unreliable mother’s aid, she’s stuck spending the summer with the rebellious half sister she barely knows and a misbehaving dog. If that’s not frustrating enough, she can’t escape the sparks igniting with her strikingly handsome and pushy neighbor, Rick, who makes all her warning bells go off.

Passion ignites as Desiree and Rick spend long summer nights sharing heartfelt confessions and steamy kisses. For the first time in years Rick is enjoying life again instead of hiding behind mounds of work miles away from his family. Desiree has touched him in a way that makes him want to slow down. Only slowing down means dealing with his demons, and he isn’t sure who he’ll be when he comes out the other side.

Along with that, Desiree is having feelings towards Rick who is here for the summer helping out some friends and family with a resort and dealing with his own set of painful memories being back in Cape Cod.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the getting to know Desiree and Rick's characters, getting to see their past and how it impacted them as a person now. There were plenty of fun moments I couldn't help but find myself laughing out loud to myself about. There was plenty of heat and steamy scenes without getting into depth between the characters which I appreciate. I also enjoyed seeing the sisters develop a  relationship now that they are stuck together. Also getting to see how they dealt with the same situation in a different ways where one went with the flightly mother and the other with the father. Overall this was a pretty great book there was plenty to love about it and I really enjoyed it. Highly Recommend!

When Emery Andrews’s best friend, Desiree, moves away, falls in love, and opens an inn all in one summer, she feels her absence like a missing limb. Until she visits over the holidays and meets sinfully hot Dean Masters, who’s as easy on the eyes as he is to talk to. After returning home, what starts as a flurry of late-night flirtations quickly turns into a deep connection and unexpected friendship. Now, months later, Desiree offers Emery a job teaching yoga at the inn. Adventurous Emery jumps at the chance and heads for Wellfleet, Massachusetts, to reunite with her BFF and her new close friend, Dean.

After months of sharing their lives, and their secrets, over video chats and phone calls, Dean’s ready to move things to the next level. The fact that Emery seems oblivious to the sparks between them and has recently put her foot down about dating friends just means he’ll have to bide his time.

When Emery finds a man in her kitchen the first morning she’s there, Dean doesn’t hesitate to move her into his guest room. Maybe now Emery will see what’s right before her eyes–although that guy she’s got a date with might be a problem.

Sweet with Heat books are the sweet editions of the Love in Bloom steamy romance novels by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster. Sweet with Heat books convey all of the passion you expect between two people in love, without any explicit scenes or harsh language.

Emery misses her best friend Desiree now that she moved away and while on a visit to see Desiree she meets Dean. They both hit is off as friends and have been talking for a while. Now Emery is looking for a new start and decided to move closer to Desiree working as a yoga instructor. Since distance is no longer a problem things start to heat up for the two best friends. Emery wants a sort of space between her and Dean because she's a flirty sort and doesn't want to ruin their friendship, plus she is going to be working for him soon so that can pose as another problem. Meanwhile Dean wants to show Emery how well they would be together. He got his own issues to work out but he will do what he can to have Emery.

If your looking for a summer read (or anytime read) that's fun, sweet and sexy book then look no further! I'm a sucker for friends to something more type of relationship and this book was perfect for me. I loved seeing the moments when they are hitting that boundary going past friendship and although this book gets pretty dirty its now where there's graphic details of what is going on which I appreciate. It was tough seeing Emery deny the obvious connection between the two even if it was understandable why she felt that way. I loved seeing their relationship and how much they bettered eachothers lives by being there. Dean was there to prove to Emery that he can handle her flirty ways and wasn't looking for her to chance and Emery was such a rock for Dean when he needed it. This was such an enjoyable book and I loved it. I look forward to reading what is in store for the next characters!

Goodbye rodeo, hello hometown But is this Wyoming Cowboy ready to face his past?

Amy Deerson wanted to mentor a child. Her plan did not include former bull rider Nash Bolton--the little girl's brother and guardian. It's been a decade since Nash left town without a word, breaking Amy's young heart. Now they must put their painful past aside to help fragile, traumatized Ruby. If only getting over their first love were that simple.

When they were young Amy and Nash had something up until he split without a word. Now he's back with a child in tow and Amy seems like the mentor who can many help out this child. But its hard not to fall for eachother after what they have been through and they have to make sure to set things aside for the sake of the child.

I thought that this was a pretty good heart warming story. It was interesting getting to know of their relationship in the past, why things happen the way they did seeing them opening up to each other and how they were able to handle it now. I thought it was interesting getting to know the child and seeing Amy try her best to get the child to be okay around others seeing that child change slowly. I enjoyed how everything played out there was just enough drama to keep things interesting. Overall this was a pretty enjoyable book I really liked it.
