Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Five-plus stars for All The Missing Pieces! I have been reading Catherine Cowles’ books for a while now, and I always appreciate how she mixes emotion and romance with suspense. All The Missing Pieces was a perfect blend of all three elements as Colt and Ridley went from barely being able to stand the sight of each other to falling in love. (Oh, I can’t forget the perfect names her characters come up with for one another, like Chaos and Law Man!)

After losing her twin sister, Ridley has made it her life’s mission to try to help other families gain a sense of peace that she doesn’t have. She’s a popular true crime podcaster who investigates cold cases, sometimes successfully helping law enforcement find a new angle to solve the case. That is what brings her to Shady Cove — and because the unsolved case she’s tracking actually involves a victim, Emerson, who managed to get away, Ridley and her poking around are not exactly welcomed.

Colt and Ridley definitely get off on the wrong foot, but that makes their falling in love so much sweeter. Because the chemistry between those two was off the charts! While her being in Shady Cove is stirring up all kinds of emotions in him, and bringing things to light that his family would much rather leave in the dark, it also helps him heal and move past the trauma that he and his family lived through.

All The Missing Pieces was beautifully written, from start to finish. Colt and Ridley captured my attention from the first moment they met — fighting over her cat Tater, who was left unattended in her van — to the very last page. As I fell in love with the main characters, I also fell in love with the supporting players in the story — especially Emerson and her resilience. (I can’t wait to see her get her own HEA as this series continues!) The suspense component of this story had me guessing all the way, and I never suspected the twist that the story took!

Sebastian York and Andi Arndt narrated the audio for this book, and they did a phenomenal job. I loved listening to the way SebYo said “Chaos,” and how the vulnerability he brought to the character of Colt. Likewise, Andi was so colorful in her portrayal of Ridley

BEAUTIFULLY CRAZY by A James is AVAILABLE NOW

Blurb:

As a single mom with my hands and heart full, finding love is the last thing on my mind.

Then Everett Windward comes along.

My new neighbor is charming, handsome, and sexy—and before I know it, I have a new friend…with benefits.

Fun and filthy benefits.

There’s just one problem—He’s also my son’s teacher.

That alone should have me pumping the brakes… except it doesn’t. I’m drawn to him and to the way he makes me feel. Everett has a filthy side that has reignited something inside of me that I haven’t felt in years.

Something I thought I lost.

But there are rules…

My son can’t know.

No sleeping over.

And absolutely no feelings involved.

But as time goes on, it becomes impossible to ignore the butterflies in my stomach when I catch him looking at me, or when I watch him play ball with my son day after day.

Before I know it, he’s so intertwined in our lives, and I can no longer deny the desire to break the very rules that I put into place to begin with.

But it’s not just my feelings I have to consider.

I can see how quickly my son is becoming attached to him. See the way he yearns for that father figure in his life.

We have experienced enough hurt and loss to last a lifetime. Can I really open up our hearts, knowing the risk I’m taking?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Beautiful Crazy is the first book I’ve read by Ashley James, and this was such a cute, heartfelt small-town — with a lot of spice and a very dirty-talking MC!

After inheriting his late grandmother’s house, Everett moves from Seattle to Blossom Beach, SC. He keeps crossing paths with Gemma: at the beach, at the cafe, at his hotel, and eventually discovering that they are neighbors. Fate puts them in each other’s paths once again when Everett turns out to be her son Sutton’s new teacher. As a friendship forms between Everett and Sutton, the sizzling chemistry grows between him and Gemma.

A friends-with-benefits situationship soon develops into so much more. I thought these characters really had a great connection, and I enjoyed seeing how their relationship progressed. The story is low angst, but there are high emotional stakes with Everett’s toxic relationship with his dad and Gemma grieving her late husband. Everett was such a solid support for Gemma as she navigated how to move on with a new relationship, and stepped up for Sutton in so many ways.

I binged this audio on a Sunday, listening to Connor Crais and his smoldering baritone as I put away Christmas decorations and did laundry. Likewise, Samantha Brentmoor was also a great narrator in telling Gemma’s story (complete with her Southern accent).

WAR by Brittanée Nicole is AVAILABLE NOW!

Blurb:

I’ve never been a good bet.

I wear my emotions on my tattoo-covered sleeve, I say all the wrong things and I revel in pissing off a certain redhead far more than I should. In other words, I’m the last person the court would choose to parent any child, let alone three of them.

Yet being their father is all I want.

So when the woman I love to hate offers to help make all my dreams come true, I jump at the chance. Marrying Ava is a convenient solution: she’s my kids favorite person and the court will absolutely approve of the woman who runs the biggest charity in Boston.

But there is nothing convenient about the way I feel when she fights with me, or when we kiss. And I’m not sure which I enjoy more.

This marriage may have a time limit but I’m beginning to think I’d like to keep my wife. She’ll probably fight me on it, but as they say, all’s fair in love and war.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Tyler Warren is a tattooed hockey god with a heart of gold. I absolutely loved the plot of this book being a single guy (a pro athlete, no less!) wanting to adopt three kids on his own. Enter the marriage pact between Tyler and Ava.

Both Tyler and Ava have a lot of emotional baggage — he always felt like he wasn’t really a fit in his father’s life, and she was literally conceived to be a donor for her sister, a la My Sister’s Keeper. Ava never wanted to have kids of her own as a result, so it was sweet seeing her become the maternal figure for Brayden, Josie and Scarlett, and how the three kids changed her mindset about being a parent.

One complaint about this book/series: So I’ve read two books in this series now (#1 and #3) and while I always love and appreciate a found family group, there were a lot of characters and I had trouble keeping tabs on who was with whom. It also took me about 1/4 of the way before I really got into this story because I felt like I was missing part of it. Yeah, he stood her up (not meaning to, but because Brayden needed help) two years earlier. But did she ever give him a chance to explain? That’s why she hated him for two years? They had a common circle of friends, so they were around each other often, but I didn’t really get why Ava hated Tyler so much. It was a case of being told, not shown, which is a pet peeve of mine.

Overall, I thought this book was very well done. As much as this was a spicy romance novel, it was also a well-thought-out family story; Brittanee Nicole did a great job handling the adoption part of the story. Tyler is totally a reformed playboy who becomes a big cinnamon roll around his wife (aka Vicious) and the kids. Ava is a feisty firecracker, and I loved the banter between the two.

FORBIDDEN DREAMS by Natasha Madison is AVAILABLE NOW!

Blurb:

When the single mom moves in next door, it’s your enemy’s soon-to-be ex-wife.

Lines are drawn, and I have to remember not to cross them.

Brady

For once, my life was calm.

Behind us was the threat our distillery was going to be shut down.

Now we could focus on growing our brand exactly the way I dreamed of doing it when I took it over.

Nothing was going to stop me.

Until she moved in next door.

My enemy’s wife with her seven-year-old son.

I don’t need this right now.

But everything inside me pulled me toward her.

Even offering her a job. Little did I know, again, I was starting a war.

However, I’m ready for it this time.

Harmony

It was no secret my husband had a wandering eye.

Leaving him shouldn’t have been a shock to anyone.

For Winston, it was more about failing at something that got under his skin.

Besides, he had to make his parents happy.

Which means he’s going to make my life unhappy.

When the pounding starts at my door one night, I’m ready to ignore it.

Until the stranger next door comes to our aid.

He’s everything you want in a man.

I know I shouldn’t involve anyone else in my life.

But maybe it’s time for me to see what dreams are made of.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

The second book in the Dream series, Forbidden Dream follows Brady (Autumn’s brother from Shattered Dreams) and Harmony Cartwright, who is a single mom trying to get divorced from Winston Cartwright. Yep, Winston is the stuck-up brother of Autumn’s horrible ex, who died in the car accident that took place before this series began. And he is a real piece of work…

Harmony moves next door to Brady, trying to piece her life back together and create a safe space for her son, Wyatt. But Winston and his parents do not make it easy for her. Despite his initial reaction to not get involved, Brady steps in to be Harmony’s knight in shining armor more than once. They don’t start off on the best foot, but their friendship grows when Brady reluctantly gives Harmony a job serving tables at his bar… and then things really take off.

It’s kind of a slow burn until it hits Brady all at once that he’s been waiting to have someone like Harmony in his life. When he moves them into his house to keep them safe from her ex, it strikes Brady just how much Harmony and Wyatt have made his house a home. Brady gives Harmony and Wyatt the home life they never had with Winston, and they in turn bring color to his world, as he tells her. There are some really swoony moments between these two characters, and I equally loved how he developed a sweet relationship with Wyatt. He never set out to be Wyatt’s father, but was more of a dad to that kid than Winston ever was. I loved seeing their bond grow, and how this trio becomes a family!

I also *loved* the cameos by Ryleigh (as Harmony’s lawyer), the scary uncles Max & Matthew, and Autumn’s grandfather-in-law, Charlie’s Pops, Casey Barnes! They are a scary bunch and they made me laugh!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars

Oh, my heart!!! Marni Mann wraps up The Spade Hotel series with Rhett’s story in The One — and she broke me! Having seen pieces of this broody a-hole along the way in the other books of this series, I couldn’t wait to get to his backstory, and it was so worth the wait! The only person who seemed to bring out his soft side is his niece, so you just knew there was a good guy buried under that icy exterior. Rhett and Lainey’s story is told in a dual timeline of past and present chapters. Childhood sweethearts, they were the picture-perfect young couple…. until they weren’t. I absolutely loved getting to know high school Rhett. This book is full of heartache, but also full of healing and second chances. I don’t want to give more than that away, but Mann really ends this series with the best of the bunch! The One is a book that sticks with you after you’re done, and is definitely one that I will come back to for a re-read! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Wyatt by Jessica Peterson is now live! 

Roping horses leads to riding cowboys in this sexy friends-to-lovers, fake-dating, lessons-in-seduction romance by Jessica Peterson.

Wyatt Rivers is the perfect no-strings hookup—a cowboy Casanova who rocks a Stetson, looks smokin’ hot in his Wranglers, and never rests his head on the same pillow twice.

He’s exactly what I’m looking for. If only Wyatt wasn’t also my best friend…

I’m back in my hometown of Harstville, Texas, for a few months while I wait for my dream job to start thousands of miles away. While I’m here, I hope to end an epic dry spell in the bedroom, preferably with a local cowboy. If the rumors are true, they really do ride harder and stay on longer.

Wyatt and I have been best friends since second grade, and I’ve been in love with him for almost as long. But he’s as wild and untamed as a colt that can’t be broken—not to mention, totally out of my league with his good looks and heartbreaker reputation.

Then I get to thinking: since Wyatt is such an expert, why doesn’t he teach me the ropes of how to find a hookup? He begrudgingly agrees, and a little fake flirting suddenly leads to fake dating, which leads to real kissing, which leads to real…well, everything else.

And let me just say, the rumors are absolutely true.

Now, I want so badly to be Wyatt’s last rodeo. But I’m leaving town, and even if I wasn’t, I’m not sure Wyatt would ever change his playboy ways.

I know cowboys can’t be tamed. Apparently, neither can hearts…

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Woah, baby, Sally and Wyatt bring YEARS of yearning and mutual pining to this story!

Two secret tattoos, people! Two!

I loved everything about these two characters! They have both been madly in love with each other for years, and neither one of them ever acted on their feelings, convinced that the other couldn’t possibly feel the same way. Sally never told Wyatt how she felt because she thought he was too good for her and he wouldn’t want her to stick around their small town. Wyatt never told Sally how he felt because he didn’t think he was good enough for her and knew she had bigger aspirations than their small town.

So when these best friends cross the line to so much more thanks to some fake dates and seduction lessons, it is FIRE! And this cowboy sure does know how to use his lasso, if you catch my drift.

As did Cash’s book, Wyatt’s story touches on some elements of grief, and how his parents’ deaths impacted him. I am loving the Lucky River Ranch series, and adored Wyatt and Sally. I also loved getting to spend some time with Cash and Mollie!
