Meet Cute
by Helena Hunting
Published by: Forever
April 9th, 2019
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Format: Paperback
Source: Purchased (Book Box Subscription)
Rating: 3.5 Stars

     Kailyn Flowers was always calm, rational, and controlled--until she ended up sprawled all over Daxton Hughes, the former actor she totally crushed on as a teenager. Then she did the unthinkable: She became a mortifying fangirl in five seconds flat, which may or may not have included professing her undying love. And oddly, he didn't run away. In fact, their meet cute led to a friendship she never saw coming. Of course, she never saw his betrayal coming, either...
     Now Dax needs her help. As guardian to his thirteen-year-old sister, he's in way over his head. And though Kailyn hasn't forgiven Dax, she isn't heartless enough to make him fend for himself, either. Soon their friendly meetings turn into flirty dinner dates, and Kailyn can feel their chemistry is as explosive as ever. But how can she possibly let down her guard again to a guy who has heartbreak written all over him?


     What I can say about this book is that it was as the title suggested, it was a cute read. I found myself laughing and/or smiling at almost every chapter. It was like watching life pass. You had awkward moments that make you feel sorry for the person going thru them and wishing you could help them but at the same time wanting to laugh out loud because you are that horrible human being (shhh I'm guilty too).

     It was a well written book with a touching story thrown in (I have never read a story like Dax and Emme's (I've read stories of the aftermath of such a situation but not as it was happening) and I liked how Kaitlyn was all about helping young kids not go thru what she did.

     What I didn't like much about this book was that it was way too predictable for me and also I was lead to believe this was a seriously hot book but the scenes with this characters (which don't start after more than 50% into the book) to me where more "fade to black" than anything else so I was kind of disappointed.

     Other than that it was a good read if you want something light-hearted and with a little more story that the main romance.

Cowboy Honor
by Carolyn Brown
Series: Longhorn Canyon (#2)
Published by: Forever
September 2018
Genre: Western Romance
Format: Mass Market Paperback
Source: Publisher
Rating: 4.5 Stars

     This knight in shining armor wears cowboy boots.
     Patience was never one of her virtues. After her SUV runs off the road in the middle of a Texas blizzard and her cell stops working, Claire Mason is about to snap. Getting back home to Oklahoma with her four-year-old niece is top priority. And lucky for her, help comes in the form of a true Texas cowboy...
     Levi Jackson has always been a sucker for strays. So he can't help getting involved when he comes across Claire and her little niece shivering in the cold. By offering them a place to stay until her car is fixed, he can make sure the two are taken care of - and get to know the sassy Claire better.
     What starts as something awkward and temporary starts feeling cozier by the minute. And soon Levi is hoping he can convince Claire she has a permanent place in his heart.


     It's been quite a while since I've read a cowboy romance and I can't think of a reason why I've waited so long to read more on this genre.

   This book is about this woman named Claire Mason who after taking a detour from her way home had an accident and was able to find this cabin and hide in there out of a snowstorm with her niece Zayley. While there the foreman of the ranch that owns the cabin had to take shelter in the cabin too because his four-wheeler was out of gas.

     Levi Jackson has lived his whole life at the Longhorn Canyon Ranch but he feels like something is missing in his life and when he finds this two "damsels" he feels a connection to them. He especially feels it with Claire and he wants to see where things go for them but at the same time, he feels like he might not be enough for her because he is a simple rancher with nothing on his name.

     From the beginning, I fell in love with this characters, especially Zayley, and I think this is a heartwarming small town/ranch read that is for anyone looking for a light read. I really felt the connection between the main couple and their connection to the rest of the characters.

     The addition of this four-almost-five-year-old cutie gave the story a connection that would have otherwise been missing. It gave it charm and a dash of innocence that was a perfect blend to make this story touch deep in the heart of the reader.

     This is my first Carolyn Brown book and I will definitively be getting more from her, starting with book one on this series. I highly recommend you read this series if you like cowboys and heartening reads.

Trouble in Texas
by Katie Lane
Series: Deep in the Heart of Texas (#4)
Published by: Forever
December 18th, 2012
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Format: eBooks
Source: Publisher (NetGalley)
Rating: 4 Stars

     THERE'S A FOX IN THE HENHOUSE
     Inheriting the most notorious house of ill repute in Texas can spell trouble for a girl's reputation... especially when she's Elizabeth Murphy, Bramble's prim and proper librarian. Yet when she discovers a buck-naked cowboy handcuffed to a four-poster bed, she forgets all about the town gossips. Elizabeth has sworn off men, but the stranger's kisses melt her resolve faster than ice cream on a hot summer day.
     Waking up in Miss Hattie's Henhouse isn't how Brant Cates reckoned on getting to the bottom of his great-granddaddy's murder. The plan was to solve the centuries-old crime, then get the heck out of Dodge. But after meeting Elizabeth and discovering that the buttoned-up beauty is a sexy siren in disguise, he just can't pull himself away.
     Now Brant needs Elizabeth to finally put his past to rest, but is she willing to risk her future on Bramble's newest bad boy?


     And this is why I love cowboys. There is something very appealing about a hard man that goes soft for and only for the right woman. Also about the way that they don't want to admit their feelings aloud but in their head, they're dying.

     With Brant, we see this and also the struggle he goes through with accepting that tragedies are part of life and not a myth as if a family curse.

     I wouldn't have guessed what really happened to his great-grandfather, or more specifically who, in a million years. Some other parts were easy to guess like Minnie and Lizzie's part.

     Overall this was a great story and I can't wait to read Beau's! In the meantime, I'll start reading the first book on the series.

     Yes, I know. But it's not the first time I start a series in the middle or end...

Accidentally Married to...a Vampire?
by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
Series: Accidentally Yours (#2)
Published by: Forever
March 5th 2013
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Format: eBook
Source: Purchased
Rating: 3 Stars

     THE DETERMINED VAMPIRE: Niccolo DiConti has faithfully served as leader of Her Majesty’s army for over a millennium, but he’d rather sunbathe in the Sahara than spend another grueling day under his demented queen’s command. However, no one has ever left her side and lived to tell. So when a powerful goddess prophesies he will meet his salvation—a human woman he must turn into a vampire with her consent—he eagerly rises to the challenge. After all, how hard could it be to seduce a human female into taking the immortal plunge? Harder than he thinks. Because his mate won’t be born for another three centuries, and when he wakes up in the goddess’ tomb, not only is his life a mess, but his destined female isn’t about to settle for a coldhearted vampire. Can he win her over before it’s too late? Not if his enemies have anything to do with it.
     AN UNWILLING BRIDE: On the night Helena Strauss meets the fierce, devastatingly handsome vampire who saves her life in the jungles of Mexico, she knows her world will be forever changed. Because an attraction this mind blowing only comes along once in a lifetime—or existence. And when he claims she is his one true mate, destined to be his for all eternity, it’s a fairytale come true. So what if her knight in shining armor is a vampire? Nobody’s perfect. But discovering the powerful, overbearing immortal doesn’t “do love”? Deal breaker. Helena will flee and set out to accomplish the impossiblexsever the otherworldly bond between them. And it turns out, Helena is just the leverage Niccolo’s enemies need to break the mighty warrior and wipe out his people.


     This book was one surprise after another. It was really painful to watch Niccolo try to stay true to the prophecy and not give in to his "male urges", specialy when Helena didn't make it easy. I like the story's plot and the background story of the characters.

     I was not expecting a lot of the things that happened on the story (e. i. Reyna and Andrus) and was surprise with the ending.

     Cimil is bonkers and I can't wait to read her story. Half the things she says are crazy babbling but make me laugh so much that I don't care! And I look forward to see what is to come for the future as the series progress.

Forgotten Sins
by Rebecca Zanetti
Series: Sin Brothers (#1)

Genre: Romantic Suspense
Format: MassMarket Paperback

Rating: 5 Stars

His Secrets Can Destroy Her
     From the moment Josie laid eyes on sexy, mysterious Shane Dean, she was in love. Their desire ignited a passionate affair, and within weeks, Shane had slipped a ring on her finger. It seemed her every fantasy was coming true . . . until her new husband disappeared without a trace. Now, two years and one broken heart later, Josie is shocked by the hospital calls: Shane has been found . . . at a crime scene with no memory of how he got there.
Her Love Can Save Him
     Shane can't remember the blue-eyed angel at his bedside—or who he even is—but he knows something isn't right. His hearing is razor sharp, his physical strength incredible, and the urge to protect Josie overwhelming. For powerful enemies are hunting him, and Josie is the key to discovering why. As Shane struggles to unravel his past, dangerous new truths come to light. Can he protect the only woman he's ever loved? And can Josie trust a man she thought she knew—one who carries such a deadly secret?


     This book is the definition of suspense.

     Shane Dean has lost his memory and the police call his wife Josie after finding a picture of her in his pocket. What the police and Shane don't know is that he disappeared from Josie's life two years before without even saying a word. Now with the help of Josie, he needs to recover his memories before is too late.

     As pieces of Shane's past come to him and a series of dangerous events occur Josie is finding out that her husband is not the man she thought he was. This time Shane is willing to do things differently and hold on to his wife because he might not remember her but he does remember how much he loves her, and that he is not willing to let go again.

     I was hooked with this book from the very beginning and I cannot believe it took me this long to read it. Shane and Josie go thru so much together and Shane has kept himself so distant from his wife. I think the best thing that happened to him was loose his memory.

     He didn't have the caution to keep quiet about his past and was able to open up to his wife and win her back. The story developed at a steady readable pace. The details of the past, the danger, Shane's memory recovery. It all was revealed slowly and with the exact amount to keep you glued to the story and keep your attention wanting to see what had happened to Shane and his mission and who was behind the attacks; every single detail of the story.

     I am definitively reading the next one. This book pike my interest on the other brothers and their abilities and their connection to the commander and much more.
