Consumed
by J. R. Ward
Series: Firefighters (#1)
Published by: Gallery Books
October 2nd, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Format: Hardcover
Source: Purchased
Rating: 4 Stars 

     Anne Ashburn is a woman consumed...
     By her bitter family legacy, by her scorched career as a firefighter, by her obsession with department bad-boy Danny McGuire, and by a new case that pits her against a fiery killer.
     Strong-willed Anne was fearless and loved the thrill of fighting fires, pushing herself to be the best. But when one risky decision at a warehouse fire changes her life forever, Anne must reinvent not only her job, but her whole self.
     Shattered and demoralized, Anne finds her new career as an arson investigator a pale substitute for the adrenaline-fueled life she left behind. She doesn't believe she will ever feel that same all-consuming passion for her job again--until she encounters a string of suspicious fires setting her beloved city ablaze.
     Danny McGuire is a premiere fireman, the best in the county, but in the midst of a personal meltdown. Danny is taking risks like never before and seems to have a death wish until he teams up with Anne to find the fire starter. But Danny may be more than a distraction, and as Anne narrows in on her target, the arsonist begins to target her.


     Anne is a firefighter with something to prove. She is consumed by a past that she doesn't want to dwell on and an uncertain future after a fatal mistake almost cost her her life.

     Danny is a fellow firefighter that has a lot on his conscience and just keeps pilling thing on top of everything else because (in my opinion) of survivors guilt.

     I was engaged in this story from the very beginning. It has Ward's writing style of modern slang and multiple POVs. I liked how Anne's boss put her in her place after that first investigation because she really didn't want to be doing that job. I think it was something that needed to happen for her to realize that any job that involves the authorities in any capacity is an important job to bring justice to any type of situation, be it big or small.

     Anne wanted very much to help Danny realized that what happened wasn't his fault and that she was fine but I don't think anyone can come out of their head until they are ready to and without the help of professionals.

     The other side stories had me intrigued and I really hope we get an announcement soon for the next book on this series. I can't wait to delve deeper into this "brotherhood".

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.

Christmas at Tiffany’s
by Karen Swan
Published by: Macmillan Digital Audio
November 2, 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Format: Audiobook
Source: Purchased
Rating: 4 Stars

     Christmas at Tiffany's is an exciting, globe-trotting story of friendship and romance from Karen Swan.
     Cassie settled down too young, marrying her first serious boyfriend. Now, 10 years later, she is betrayed and broken. With her marriage in tatters and no career or home of her own, she needs to work out where she belongs in the world and who she really is.
     So begins a yearlong trial as Cassie leaves her sheltered life in rural Scotland to stay with each of her best friends in the most glamorous cities in the world: New York, Paris, and London. Exchanging grouse moor and mousy hair for low-carb diets and high-end highlights, Cassie tries on each city for size as she attempts to track down the life she was supposed to have been leading, and with it the man who was supposed to love her all along.
     Christmas at Tiffany's is followed by the captivating sequel, Summer at Tiffany's.


     Oh, what can I say about this novel? The reality is that I did not have many expectations, because of the fiasco of last week, I have taken to read first and not to be carried away by the cover. Since we are talking about the cover, it is not beautiful, this is the image that crosses my mind when I think about Christmas.

     And since I'm a little busy at work, I better listen to it, so I work and listen to a book (I felt so multitasking doing this way, and even better I got paid in the meanwhile too, LOL). I do not know who came up with the idea of audiobooks, but he or she is a damn genius.

     I LOVE CHRISTMAS. Ejem, since November, began I put up my Christmas tree already. I am total freaky about Christmas. My husband tells me "for God's sake, has not passed thanksgiving yet and you're already with Christmas". I say "If you do not want to sleep with the dog, better not even start" (just in case you wonder we do not have a dog).

     Let's talk about the protagonist, her name is Cassie, and god, there were moments that made me desperate. But throughout the novel, we can see an evolution of it. The reality is that I loved that the author did it this way. It was like the metamorphosis of a butterfly. The truth is that I love this character. Thank god that she really count with true friends, who helped to go through the treasury and lies.

     Henry is our male protagonist. Ahh, I sighed for him from the first list he gave to Cassie, (they have to read it to know the lists). He contributed a lot to Cassie's transformation.

     The reality is that once again can not trust those who say they call themselves best friends with your partners or significant others. Always in life, we have admirers who, instead of shining with their own light, want to shine by extinguishing that of others. After that poetic moment I gave you, I recommend this novel.

     I downloaded with the audiobook in the Audible app. Amazon is offering 30 days of free trial and 2 books totally free. Even if you cancel after the trial, the books are yours to keep. Here I leave the link down below so you can go and download the app and the book. I hope to hear your opinions.

     Since I  love so much Christmas, I am thinking about making a book giveaway. What do you guys think? Let me know in your comments that books seemed interesting to have. Kisses and see you next week with more details.
