In the beloved small town of Moose Falls, a holiday dating charade between coworkers starts to feel like the real thing . . .

The youngest of three brothers, Landon Stone would do anything for his grandmother, Hattie—even return to his hometown of Moose Falls. Hattie’s heart is set on her grandsons taking over the family business—and finding their happily-ever-afters in Alaska. When Hattie gets the idea that Landon is romantically entangled with his gorgeous colleague, Bailey Daniels, Landon doesn’t just go along with it—he asks Bailey to join the ruse.

Bailey isn’t sure if she agrees because she adores Hattie for helping her family through their darkest times . . . or because she finds the charmingly nerdy Landon completely irresistible. Either way, it’s extremely easy to appear totally into him. But as they collaborate at work—and after hours—to make Hattie’s Christmas extra special, Bailey and Landon’s relationship starts to feel all too real. What if the only people Landon and Bailey are fooling this season . . . are themselves?

Landon is back in the town of Moosefall after his fall from grace from a job he loves but he ended up being framed for something and lost it. He has every intention of figuring out going back and redeem himself but until then he's home able to see family and especially his grandmother Hattie who has quite the personality but is on borrowed time knowing the end is near. Hattie got some things shes needs to work on before her time runs out and is keeping those she loves near and dear on their toes with her interesting requests shaking things up for her family for the better.

I'm used to my fast paced books that this one seems to drag but for good reason, there was so much going on to unpack with this book. I loved Hattie was an interesting gal and I loved how quirky she was. She really had the best heart and was meddling when it came to her family and it really did manage to help push long the best outcomes for the ones she loves. For Landon he had his heart set on doing bigger better things in the scientific world and somehow finds his place in his families' business, I mean he has no intention to stay but it was interesting seeing how things change for him as his fake relationship turns into some thing more. I overall this was a pretty good book I really enjoyed it.

Falling in love is easy. Finding the right guy to spend happily ever after with... that's the hard part. 

But I have a foolproof plan. I'm taking the tropes that work in romance books and applying them to my love life.

Only one bed? Never fails.

Caring for someone when they're sick? A classic.

"Who did this to you?" Seals the deal every single time.

So long, loneliness. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

But the more I try to force romance, the more feelings naturally progress with the one man who's off limits: Walker Collins, the guy I've had a secret crush on since 7th grade, not to mention my best friend's older brother. 

Dating Walker crosses BFF lines I swore I'd never cross. Plus, he hates Sunset Harbor, and his pro golf career will take him off the island as fast as he came, sending me back to the land of singlehood, loneliness, and broken hearts. 

At the end of the day, I don't want to be the fool in my foolproof plan

Jenny's finally ready to settle down and made it her mission to use this summer to find a man using romance book tropes. Walker is her best friend's brother who's in town after an injury and slight issue with his girlfriend to recuperate. Since it's not planning to stay and he's her best friend's brother he's not on the list. But he sure seems to keep running into her while she's on her way to finding love. 

There was book tropes all around and it was such a fun read seeing how it all played out. Even the whole off limits bff brother trope was a main one. I loved watching as we came across every dating antic she was trying to pull off miserably and finding themselves in trouble a few occasions and even if this book was easy to predict this book was plenty entertaining to read anyways. Now I wanna get ahold of the next books.

Also I want to point out that I did get a hold of the audiobook and it really made the experience of reading this all the more better. The pacing was fine the actors were good and overall when it came to the audiobook portion it really enhanced my reading experience.

From the moment this book started the readers are thrown in right into the middle and I got to say it was a great start because I was hooked till the very end. I love the many twists and turns that kept happening the attempts on her life wondering when they would strike next. There was never a dull moment when it came to this book. There was plenty faith-based things going on and it had a clean somewhat of a romance that doesn't go farther than a skinny kiss. I just had so much fun reading with me I love when a book can keep me on my toes and if you like mystery suspense novels you're going to really enjoy this one.

Catching a kidnapper takes teamwork

…and a K-9’s help.

When a three-year-old boy is kidnapped, deputy sheriff Chandler Murphy and his search-and-rescue K-9 partner are on the case. And when the child’s mother, Bristol Delaney, insists on helping, he can’t turn her away. But someone is dead set on stopping the investigation. Can Chandler guarantee Bristol’s safety and rescue the missing child before the trail goes cold?

Bristol three year old son is kidnapped and she will do everything she can to find her child. Deputy sheriff Chandler and his K-9 partner is on the case. Bristol is pretty sure she knows who is the kidnapper or at least know someone was tied to him and she is a mother will never let go of her child and will do everything she possibly can to help.

So this was a really good book. I enjoyed reading it. You can tell how much love and devotion Bristol has for her child she would do anything and everything to get him back. Even if that puts herself in danger. It was actually kind of  meddlesome the fact that she was kind of like that instead of waiting for the police to do what they have to do. But it was still interesting seeing what length she would go  through to find him. There was just so much mystery behind who was the one who had kidnapped her child and why. I just loved following along and seeing how the book played out overall it was really good I enjoyed it.

Red is a security expert who's Brian has just been murdered and might have ties with Jaycee disclosing the clients whereabouts. Until she gets her memory back and find the reason someone is after her Jaycee will stick around Brett.

I really enjoyed this boo I love how fast-paced it was from the beginning. There was so much going on to get me hooked. Other interesting seeing how everything played out and a wondering who they can trust. I love that this book remained a clean romance. There were moments here and there talking about God but not an overwhelming amount I'm not a really religious person so when it goes over the top I kind of get put off by a book but this book had a decent amount of faith being mentioned without being too much. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and seeing the role they had to play in this book. Overall really good story if you like mystery suspense kind of novels that keep you hooked you'll enjoy this one.

A kidnapping case

reveals a secret that changes everything…

After witnessing an abduction, FBI agent Luke Harmon vows to return the teenage victim safely to her aunt, his ex, Abby Mitchell. But Abby has a secret—the girl is their daughter. To rescue his child from a human trafficking ring, he’ll partner with the woman who deceived him. But can he forgive the past before Abby becomes the next target…and his family is lost forever?

Luke and Abby witness a kidnapping and on a mission to get her back. Especially since Luke finds out that the teenager was their daughter. They both work together in getting the child from the human trafficking ring, while also trying to figure out where to go to next about their relationship.

This was a pretty fast paced read, I was pretty much enjoying it that I had a hard time putting it down. I thought it was interesting seeing how they worked on figuring out where the daughter was. I mean Luke was a FBI agent working on the case so he had the law on his side and ways to talk to suspects and Abby on the other hand didn't have those advantages. She did her own sleuthing looking though post and making connections and seeing where her own leads were taking her even if it put her in dangers way she would do everything she could to make sure to get her child back. I loved watching how everything progressing and the twists and turns that were thrown in the way. Overall really enjoyable book.

This was a nice enjoyable read. I kinda felt like it was a bit slow but I've been reading action packed book and this was just a different change of pace. I liked the friendship between the two and how they just worked well around eachother. Hannah really was such an amazing person who was really there for Randy and his family she really went above and beyond for them. Which makes Randy secret a bit more difficult hiding it from her and his loved ones. There was plenty to enjoy about this book and you'll just have to read it to find out but overall this was a pretty enjoyable read.

This had just what I loved in a good mystery suspense novel with a bit of romance in it. There was so much going on and twists and turns. It was so easy to get sucked up into a book like this. I loved getting to know what was going on when Emma slowly but surely try to work on getting her memory back. I loved the suspense of waiting for when the person who strike next and what was really going on why were they so adamant to taking her out. I also loved that thought there was a little bit of romance there wasn't enough to overpower or take over the book. There was just enough to show the two were interested and didn't get down and dirty which I appreciate. Overall a pretty great book I really enjoyed it.

Apparently this book is apart of a stand alone series, and with how good this book turned out I think I'll be going on the hunt for the previous books on the other friends loves stories. This was a sweet clean romance. Seeing Ruby's memories as they came to her was interesting. I liked getting her past as she saw it, it gave that character a bit more depth and I loved her character more because of it. I thought it was interesting getting to konw what she was doing when she was missing, getting a bit of what her life was when she was on her own. I loved seeing how sweet it was when the family was finally learning how to be together. I liked seeing how they handled situations that were coming her way. Overall a pretty good holiday story.
