Second Chances (Second Chances #1) by T.A. Webb

    

“He softened and looked at me. “Oh, yeah, I met the right man, all right. A fucking miracle. An angel here on earth.” His voice was soft as cotton and his eyes shone like diamonds. What could I say to that?”

       I fell in love with this one. Omg I loved every main, supporting, and minor characters. I wish Mark was my bestfriend. He is so amazingly amazing in his simplicity that's it's down right beautiful. I cried, laughed, smiled, and simply wished I could live in this book's amazing world.

“My love. My life. My husband. It’s been my great honor to love you and I only hope I was worthy of it.”

I think what I loved the most( And there's a lot about this book,i loved.) is how realistic every character , every emotion, and every triumph felt. I lived when I read this. And even now just writing this review.  I'm still in awe. And the ending, oh my God, the ending was one the best I read. Just a perfect ending. I just wish there was more. I didn't want it to end.

“Don’t fucking leave me. Don’t break my heart.”

And that Ladies and Gents, that was Second Chances....Simply Beautiful.

And as always, Happy Reading!!

Lone Wolf by Diana Palmer; Rebecca Zanetti; Kate Pearce

   

   The entire reason I wanted this book was to read Diana Palmer’s story. She is one of my favorite authors and there really isn’t anything I have read by her or feel she can't write. But the other two authors surprised me. Kate Pearce and Rebecca Zanetti their stories was able to pull and keep in. My first book by both of them. 

 Description from book:

Loyal as a wolf--and just as strong and untamed--three solitary heroes are about to meet their perfect partners, in this thrilling collection from a trio of New York Times bestselling authors...

COLORADO COWBOY by DIANA PALMER

Fleeing her mother's killer, Esther Marist ends up at a rugged stranger's cabin. A wildlife rehabilitator with a menagerie that includes an elderly wolf, Matthews isn't the type to turn any creature away. As Esther heals, she realizes how much danger she's brought to his door--and how far he'll go to protect her.

THE WOLF ON HER DOORSTEP by KATE PEARCE

Beth Baker senses her grumpy summer tenant must be in trouble when his pet wolf shows up at her door, demanding she follow. Conner O'Neil, solitary and stubborn, doesn't want Beth's help--but only he can show her how to trust again.

RESCUE: COWBOY STYLE by REBECCA ZANETTI

Trent Logan has his ranch, his friends, and his wolf, and that's more than enough--until a shivering city girl runs into the Cattle Club to escape a Wyoming storm. Her eyes hold a world of secrets, and he'll have to face the demons of his own past in order to save them both.

 

The stories in this anthology feature animal wolves, males who are wounded warriors, and women who just need a safe to place to heal. They are wonderful stories. I adore how the love that develops are a perfect contrast to the danger and fascinating men.

 

 

And as always Happy Reading!!!

Ghost Mountain Wolf Shifters Series

                                        

Last March, at the beginning of all this CoVid situation, when the world felt so small and scary, I discovered Ms. Audrey Faye's Ghost Mountain Wolf Shifters Series. I read Alpha and discovered a writer who made the world seem a little bigger than our problems. I will admit it made me cry but it also made me laugh, smile, and be. Through out 2020, I read her series over and over. It was one of the few books I just kept gravitating to. And every time, it gave me the same feelings, I've had from the very beginning. 7 books from the series, watching/reading as these characters grow and build and create a sense of community has in stilled a bit of happiness in my life. It one of those books that just take you through the human experience while also being a paranormal one, too.

I hope you get to enjoy it as much as I have.

And as always Happy Reading!!

To Love and to Loathe: A Novel (2) (The Regency Vows) By Martha Waters

An ARC from Netgalley for an honest review.

this was a fun and enjoyable story, perfect if you are looking for an easy going historical romance. I liked the setting, the writing and dialogue but honestly I have nothing much to say other than it was a decent read.

Synopsis:

The widowed Diana, Lady Templeton and Jeremy, Marquess of Willingham are infamous among English high society as much for their sharp-tongued bickering as their flirtation. One evening, an argument at a ball turns into a serious wager: Jeremy will marry within the year or Diana will forfeit one hundred pounds. So shortly after, just before a fortnight-long house party at Elderwild, Jeremy’s country estate, Diana is shocked when Jeremy appears at her home with a very different kind of proposition.

After his latest mistress unfavorably criticized his skills in the bedroom, Jeremy is looking for reassurance, so he has gone to the only woman he trusts to be totally truthful. He suggests that they embark on a brief affair while at the house party—Jeremy can receive an honest critique of his bedroom skills and widowed Diana can use the gossip to signal to other gentlemen that she is interested in taking a lover.

Diana thinks taking him up on his counter-proposal can only help her win her wager. With her in the bedroom and Jeremy’s marriage-minded grandmother, the formidable Dowager Marchioness of Willingham, helping to find suitable matches among the eligible ladies at Elderwild, Diana is confident her victory is assured. But while they’re focused on winning wagers, they stand to lose their own hearts.

This book was perfect as a quick afternoon read. This is my first book by this author. 

And as always Happy Reading!!

HAVE YOU READ HER!!!!!

    I'm so obsessed with this series. Waiting this pass month and half has been killing me. I've been trying to stay focus because my TBR list is so long but in the back of my mind, I'm obsessively waiting for the next/last book. Its taking forever!!!! Ugh!

Okay, I'll shut up while you read the description. For real, I promise, but... no no go ahead, I'll wait.

My father made a terrible mistake. One I’m left paying for.

As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill the alpha, I’m labeled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt.

When I can't take pack life any longer, I run, but apparently they don't like losing their punching bag. Torin, the alpha’s son, drags me back before my first shift... a shift that will reveal my true mate.

I never could have predicted who mine would be, but the moment my wolf looks upon him, I’m filled with hope for a brighter future.

After all, no one ever rejects their true mate, right?

Wrong. Very wrong.

When the wolves attack, my soul screams for vengeance, and somehow I touch the shadow world. Somehow I bring him to our lands.

The Shadow Beast. Our shifter god. The devil himself.

Turns out being rejected by my mate was only the beginning.

 

It was really a good intro to the series. The book does its job of keeping your attention and making you want more. Because baby, book two!! That is all, I'm going to say. 

                                             For mentioned book two

And book three cover got me feeling as if my whole life about to get together. 

Look, you are going to thank me then hate me. And you know what, I'm cool with that.

And as always Happy Reading!!

ACT YOUR AGE, EVE BROWN. BY Talia Hibbert

An ARC from netgalley for a honest review.

Description from back of book

Eve Brown is a certified hot mess. No matter how hard she strives to do right, her life always goes horribly wrong. So she’s given up trying. But when her personal brand of chaos ruins an expensive wedding (someone had to liberate those poor doves), her parents draw the line. It's time for Eve to grow up and prove herself—even though she's not entirely sure how…

Jacob Wayne is in control. Always. The bed and breakfast owner’s on a mission to dominate the hospitality industry and he expects nothing less than perfection. So when a purple-haired tornado of a woman turns up out of the blue to interview for his open chef position, he tells her the brutal truth: not a chance in hell. Then she hits him with her car—supposedly by accident. Yeah, right.

Now his arm is broken, his B&B is understaffed, and the dangerously unpredictable Eve is fluttering around, trying to help. Before long, she’s infiltrated his work, his kitchen—and his spare bedroom. Jacob hates everything about it. Or rather, he should. Sunny, chaotic Eve is his natural-born nemesis, but the longer these two enemies spend in close quarters, the more their animosity turns into something else. Like Eve, the heat between them is impossible to ignore... and it’s melting Jacob’s frosty exterior.

Okay let begin by saying this book was so Good. I'm not even surprise this whole series hits from beginning to end. And of course the third book was just as amazing as the first and second.

I love Eve's story. how she just wanted to prove to her family that she not really a disaster, which she wasn't, she was just fearful of failure and success so like everybody in the world.

and Jacob was so adorable. He just so..... *sighs* sweet and cute and just ugh!!

If you want to laugh or giggle or just in general smile in seriously cheesy way, this book does that.

Talia Hibbert has really become a favorite of mine these past few years and she continues not to disappoint.

so as always Happy Reading!!!

Time...

It is funny how you have the best intentions but then reality comes in and your intentions go out the window while you try to do the most basic thing: survive. 2020 was going to be my year that was the goal, you know, then COVID hit and survival became the goal. Be able to eat and pay my bills became the goal. I say that to say this, I was not able to focus on this as much as I wanted to. I wanted to put my all into this blog and I have failed greatly. So, I am going back to beginning and starting over. It is time to reinvent and just push thru.  To accept that I have failed and move on because that is all you can do. Accept and move on. So, I just want to say thank you guys for sticking with me for as long as you have.

 

And as always Happy Reading.
