Chasing Dreams by Nicole Edwards

Chasing Dreams by Nicole Edwards

It took a while for me to get into the story but once you get into it it's amazing. I love the connection with Tessa & Cooper. You can sense the feelings between them, but you can also understand Tessa's resistance about loving again after her late husband. I like how their relationship grew & Cooper didn't give up. He gave her space when needed & was there for her when she needed also. Loved the over protective brothers & best friends, what every girl needs. I'm glad that both Cooper & Tessa got their happily ever after... five stars. <3 Amy

Synopsis: Cooper Krenshaw knows what it’s like to feel the bright lights upon him, the sound of the crowd roaring when he walks on stage; after all, he happens to be one of the biggest names in country music at the moment. And he has knowingly just dropped off the grid. The first decision he has made on his own in quite some time. Cooper only thought he was looking for a challenge when he walked off of that concert stage in Chicago. After finding himself in Devil’s Bend, Texas, he soon realizes that the dream he’s been chasing might not be the one he was after all along. 

Now he’s found himself not only starting over in a new town, but he’s pretty sure he’s met the toughest challenge of his life... she just happens to be an angel in blue jeans. 

Tessa Donovan hasn’t been the best of friends with Fate for quite some time now. Owning and operating The Rusty Nail, a small bar in her hometown of Devil’s Bend, has been enough to keep her going through the motions of her life. But it’s the only thing she’s got. After losing her husband fifteen short months after they were married, Tessa has spent the last four years chasing dreams in order to maintain her sanity. Only those dreams are soon ripped right out of her grasp by a sexy country music star who claims he descended on her small town by accident. 

Coincidence? Or has Fate stepped in once again? Whatever the case, Tessa knows the handsome cowboy might get to overtake her dreams, but she’s bound and determined that he won’t take her heart.

A Tattered Love by Nickie Seidler

A Tattered Love by Nickie Seidler

Genre: Suspenseful Romance

Release Date: October 3rd, 2013

Amy's Review: I was given this book as an ARC to read & post a review. It is also Book of the Week on my Facebook page. 

Facebook.com/MyFictionalBoyfriend

***Spoiler Alert***

I enjoyed the book. Dustin was sweet. It was up and down from the beginning but ended with a happy ever after. It was nice to see Dustin defend Riley. He was a lush dad & it was clear to see his daughter was his world besides Riley. This book was given four stars.

Kellie's Partial Review: As of blog review due date, I have not completed reading ATL- however, I will say that from what I have read, it is an emotional roller coaster read, with some unexpected twists and an evil mother that needs a punch in the throat. You should give this a read if you like a genuine love story and lots of drama. 

Synopsis:

Riley Miller wants nothing more than to leave her past behind and never speak of it again. The damage caused by what has happened has made her build walls keeping people out. Starting over isn't easy. After a move to Cape Cod to escape the dark and haunting secrets, she meets Abby and Evan. Instantly becoming best friends, shy and quiet Riley tries to break out of her shell with the help from her new friends. Just as she begins to settle into a comfortable routine, Riley meets Evan's friend Dustin.

Life as Riley knows it will never be the same.

Looking for love is the last thing on Dustin’s to do list, if it’s even on there at all. Living with some significant secrets of his own, Dustin tries to keep from getting in too deep with anyone. But, he finds himself drawn to the timid, yet stunning Riley. Can they both accept the past and develop a relationship? Or will the skeletons in both of their closets keep them from ever moving on?

Reflect Me by KB Webb

Reflect Me by KB Webb

Amy's Review: WOW Logan is super sexy and so damn sweet. Love him btw. I want me a Logan. :)

Logan and Molly's relationship starts off as friends but you can see the true soul connection between them. I love how Logan takes to Molly's daughter even though she isn't his, but he treats her like his own. I love Molly standing up for herself. Girl power I say, Go Molly. 
Simply a fantastic story and its well worth the read. I would recommend it. Looking forward to Lucas and Dani's story.

Synopsis: If you're looking for a story about a sweet, innocent virgin who rides off into the sunset with a reformed bad boy, then you're looking in the wrong place.

Some people don’t get a happily ever after. Molly Scott is one of those people, and she knows it. With the kind of past that she has, and the secrets that she holds, she knows that even if she found Prince Charming, he wouldn’t want her. She refuses to dwell on her less than ideal situation though. This is her life, no point in complaining.

Logan Wade had his life planned out, until all his dreams came crashing down around him. Now, he’s come back to the town he swore he would never see again to start fresh. He has no plans to ever settle down again, that’s how he ended up back here in the first place. 

When Molly and Logan meet, they are forced to rethink the lives they thought they knew and the futures they were so sure they wanted. Suddenly, Molly wonders if there is a better life outside of the hell she has built for herself, and Logan begins to rethink his resistance towards settling down again. 

They say love conquers all, but Molly and Logan are about to find out that sometimes love just isn’t enough

Moore To Lose by Julie Richman

Moore To Lose by Julie Richman

Moore to Lose sent me on a roller coaster of emotions! I loved the crazy ride and loved it from start to finish! 

In Moore to Lose we go back 24 years to revisit Mia's life that she was apart from Schooner. We see how Mia evolves into the woman she is today. I was so excited to get to go back and kind of relive those moments with Mia. It made me feel closer to her in a way. It helps you make sense of a lot of things as the story continues. 

Just when you think you have it all figured out! BAM! Julie has you shaking your head and saying WTH? Did that just happen? I was clutching my kindle so tight! Grab your tissues because you will need them! My heart broke for Mia but she showed us how she overcame a lot of the horrible things that happened to her.

I give Moore To Lose 5 stars!! It was a beautiful crazy ride and I loved every minute of it! Thank you Julie for such an amazing story and for the wonderful characters that touch our hearts! If you haven't already start this series today. You won't be sorry! <3 Carrie

Synopsis: 
Continuing the fight for their happily ever after that began in Searching for Moore, Schooner Moore and Mia Silver struggle to overcome the ghosts and baggage they accumulated during their time apart. 

Exploring the missing 24 years when they were separated, Moore to Lose follows Mia's journey from heartbroken teen to kickass businesswoman to her emotional reunion with Schooner and the exploration of the love that was ripped from them. 

But is their love really strong enough to overcome the damage of those missing 24 years or will they continue to be ripped apart by pasts that can't be changed? 

This is Book 2 in the Needing Moore Series. This is not a stand alone book. It is meant to be read after Searching for Moore.

                       Review:This was a raunchy, bad girl read. Lol! 74 

pages of naughty escapades and a girl that just did not give a damn. I loved it. It reminded me of reading Kendall Grey's series about Letty Dillinger- strong woman who gets and gives as good as it gets. You cannot be a weak hearted prude and girl on girl action can't turn you off or you may not enjoy this read as much as I did. V was a special kind of hotness and I liked reading about her in this novella. Great job KP, you know I am a huge fan my sister! <3 Kellie 

Synopsis:The name's V. I'm beautiful in every sense of the word physically. But on the inside, I'm a black pit. If you're expecting a happily ever after, a white picket fence and 2.5 kids; then this isn't the story for you. There aren't any happily ever afters in the works for me or those whose lives I poison. I hold the key to my pleasure and I'll be damned if I ever give it up again.

God forsake those that stand in my way of ultimate gratification. You may regret me, but you'll never forget me. Use or Be Used, there are no other options.

** Warning ** 18 years and up for adult situations, language, sexual content, and violence. * This story contains dirty words, dirty sex and an even dirtier twist. **

Emerge by S.E. Hall

Embrace by S.E. Hall

I had the honor of being a beta for Embrace! I knew going into this book that it was going to be amazing! S.E.Hall you did it again lady! You took my breath away. I didn't think it was possible to love a book as much as I did Emerge, but I was wrong.

Let me say I'm a Team Dane girl but I love and adore Evan so much. Evan is the guy every girl dreams of. He's the guy that I hope my daughters meet just like him one day! He's HOT of course but he's the best BB you could ask for next to Dane. I LOVE him. My heart hurt bad for him. I wanted to reach in my kindle and hug him and hold him so tight! 


Evan is just going through the motions when he meets Whitley. He is trying to figure out how he will get through each day seeing Laney and it not crush his heart. Now I will say Whitley was not the obvious choice at first! I was thinking oh no please not her! After we get to know the real Whitley we begin to see why Evan is slowly falling for her. She helps him heal and shows him its ok to give your whole heart to someone again. 

Sawyer OMG just when you think you love Dane and Evan we get Mr.HOT pants Sawyer <-----yes I said HOT pants!! I love him! Sawyer takes Evan under his wing and becomes a friend to Evan when he needs it most. He helps Evan through one of the worst times of his life! Not only is he HOT, a great friend but he is hilarious! He had me laughing out loud more than once! 

As we get further into the book we see Evan and Whitley's relationship continue to grow. Evan puts up a few walls though. Dating is new to him. It is something he only knows with Laney. Will Whitley have the patience to wait for Evan? Will Evan finally get over Laney and let her go? Please read Embrace and find out! It is an amazing story of heartbreak, second chances, friendship, and getting through some of the toughest times of their lives! 

Now don't think I forgot about my man Dane <------ remember he knocked my socks off and panties in Emerge! We get to see how his and Laney's story evolves and I love the alternate POV's. I always love getting to see what everyone is thinking. Dane didn't disappoint in Embrace! He's just as hot as ever and I loved reading about him and Laney being together. We get to see Laney go through some hard times too. Evan is and always was a huge part of her life so we get to see how she handles that. 

Some of my highlights

"A red balloon. I can't believe that's what you picked. Her eyes water a bit and she looks at me thoughtfully and I smile. "I love it."


You are the fire, my intensity, my must have, my awakening," I say sincerely. "You're the lap I always want to cuddle in, the lips I want to kiss, the mind I want to challenge, the laugh I want to draw out. Okay?" <------ tears were running down my face! Loved every word! 

"Did you ever love me? Did you ever mean it? <----- omg that poor sweet baby!! That tugged my heart! 

"Well, you don't have a girlfriend, and because Jesus loves me, neither do I, so I figure we'll hit K together. Pick up a few honeys for the night, whatever." <--LOL! I bet you can guess who said that! Love him! 

There are so many more highlights.I loved Embrace from start to finish! I give it 5 HUGE bright glittery stars!! It is a must read. S.E.Hall you amaze me everyday! Thank you for letting me be a tiny part of all this. I can't wait for more Dane and Laney, and Sawyer! I love this crew! Thank you for this amazing series.

Worth the Fight by Vi Keeland

Worth the Fight by Vi Keeland

Review: I loved Worth the Fight what a wonderful story! I couldn't put it down once I started it. 

We meet Elle a lawyer just living a normal life. She is seeing William at the beginning of the story. William is a handsome man, never complains but he's just so predictable. I could see right away Elle wanted much more. As nice as William is he would be the safe choice for Elle and she wanted much more. 

Elle is just going through her everyday life when in walks Nicholas Hunter who we soon find out is Nico "The Lady Killer" Hunter a MMA fighter and one HOT hunk of a man! Tan, green eyes, strong and did I mention he drives a motorcycle? <----OMG! Love him! 

Nico ask Elle to help him out of a contract he is in because he doesn't believe in child labor so he wants out of it. Elle can't help but take notice how good of a man Nico seems right from the start. She is attracted to him but try's to fight it at first. Finally Nico comes back and ask Elle out to dinner, and after that things to evolve. I loved the instant connection these two had. It was hot! 

We go on a roller coaster with these two. Elle fighting her past and Nico sorting out some of his own demons. Will these two help each other through the pain? Can Elle let down those walls she built so long ago? Read Worth The Fight to find out. I loved it! I don't like giving too much away, but I can say this is worth reading! 

I give Worth The Fight 5 stars! It had me on the edge of my seat wanting more. Grab a few tissues as well. What a beautiful story of two people putting back together their broken hearts. I loved it from start to finish!  <3 Carrie

Synopsis: It didn’t matter that the ref called it a clean hit. Nico Hunter would never be the same. 

Elle has a good life. A job she loves, a great apartment, and the guy she’s been dating for more than two years is a catch and a half. But it’s boring…and she strives to keep it that way. Too many emotions are dangerous. Her own past is living proof of what can happen when you lose control.

Then Nico walks into Elle’s office and everything changes…for both of them. But what can the tattooed, hard-bodied MMA fighter and the beautiful and always steady attorney have in common? A lot more than they bargained for.
