Gemma and Diego have a wonderful story that is written in
first person from a dual POV.  It is set
in the fictional town of Diamond Creek, Alaska. 
I love Diego and his brotherhood with the men whom he served in the Air Force
and now flies.  I love that he comes from
a large and loving family and that his parents had a love story that shaped
him.  I love his tender heart and I adore
his looks: he is totally my type.
Gemma is starting fresh in Alaska.  I can tell you that after living in Alaska
for 26 years, a lot of people go there to start fresh.  There were so many things I related to with
Gemma’s story.  I remember being new to
Alaska.  I remember how amazed I was the
first time I went dip netting.  It is
described so perfectly in this book.  I
love how she finally fits in her new, small town in a way she never felt like
she fit before.  I love the attraction
she has with Diego and how fast they fall for each other.
This story packs heat and romance as they fall fast and hard
for each other.   I love their connection
and how even the physical means so much more from the start. I love that their
black moment is really more grey as they get to know each other and their own
feelings which have developed so quickly.  I love this story and the characters of this
family and small town.  I cannot wait to
read more.

This story follows Vaughn as he falls head over heels at
first sight for Gigi.  Their story is
written n first person from a dual POV.
Gigi is almost 21, a social work student, and more than a
little innocent.  Vaughn (24) is the
wild, playboy, drummer of a #1 rock band. 
He lives his life on the edge.  He
buries pain and regrets from his past in alcohol, drugs, and women.  He only wants to be numb.  Then he sees Gigi.
I adore love at first sight, and Vaughn falls hard.  There is no doubt that the physical
attraction plays a part for both when they first meet.  I love that Gigi recognizes immediately that
he has the power to break her heart and tries to protect herself.  I love her kindness, her empathy, and her
intelligence.  I adore that they connect
on a soul level immediately.  One of my
favorite heroes is the man who is hurt and struggling and then healed by
love.  Vaughn is definitely that.  I really appreciated his struggle, his pain,
and his self-recrimination.  He realizes
that he is trying to be numb, he just does not know what else to do.  I love the calm and peace that Gigi brings
him.  I also appreciate that he is not
instantly healed, and it takes time to get there. The heat in this book is
smoking hot.  Their physical connection
is intense.  Some scenes are near kindle
melting as they come together. I really enjoyed their story, and I cannot wait
to read Kade’s story next. If you like a Rockstar romance where the hero falls
hard and fast, you will not want to miss this one.

I pucking loved this book! It deserves more that only 5
stars.  I have been waiting for both
Tyler and Muffy’s stories since they appeared as secondary characters in
previous books.  I love that these two
get together.  Their story is written in
first person from a dual POV.
Tyler is the youngest of six children.  He is a successful hockey player, and he has
a little problem he does not want to discuss. 
Muffy is a little bit awkward, but I adored her lack of filter.  I understood her self-consciousness and her
self-esteem issues.  She has the biggest
heart, and she will do anything for someone she cares about.  This is how she winds up needing a date to a
funeral.  And the fun begins there.  I laughed until I cried several times reading
this book.  There are hot times, funny
times, and some very romantic times.  I
love the cameos from other character appearances. I love the positive
appearances of the puck bunnies.  I love
how protective Tyler is with Muffy and how he accepts and loves her for who she
is.  I adore her friends and how they come
to support her when she needs it.  I love
the message of being the best you without being weighed down by the
expectations of others.  The awkward
heroine is one of my favorite types of heroine. 
I absolutely loved this book.  It
was exactly what I needed to read, and I highly recommend it.

Enemies to Lovers in Severton
This is book 5 of the Severton Search and Rescue series, but
it can be read as a standalone.  It is
written in third person from a dual POV. 
Readers of this author will find that it overlaps both Shaken and The
Partnership in the character timelines.
Jake is a charming., sometimes reckless man with a playboy
reputation.  He is curls, muscles, and
smiles on a hot farmer exterior.  I love
that he is so determined to succeed on his farm and that he has such a kind
heart and good sense of humor.  Lainey is
starting her horse therapy business in Severton.  I love her wit, determination, and
intelligence.  I adore that she can dish
Jake’s wit right back at him.  There is a
lot of humor as they pull some fantastic pranks on each other.  There is a lot of heat between the two
characters who cannot stay away from each other.  Their attraction is fierce.  There are also some seriously romantic
moments.  I love it when Jake decides he
wants to make Lainey his.  He has a protective
instinct for her that is extremely lovable. 
I love that he sees really her, her strength, and that he helps build
her up after the damage an idiot ex did to her self-esteem.
This book was everything I look for from this author.  Humor, hot times, a bit of suspense, and lots
of family relationship fun are included n this wonderful addition to the
Severton series.

This short novella is the prequel to The Virgin Rule
Book.  It sets the stage for Nadia and
Crosby’s friendship and the possibility of them becoming more than
friends.  It is written in first person,
and except for the last chapter, is from Nadia’s POV.
I love that Nadia is a powerful woman in a man driven
world.  I love that her dad believed in
her and made her dream possible.  I love
that she is fierce.  And I adore the teasing
friendship she shares with Crosby.  As a
prequel, this novella is perfect in setting up the story for the book that
follows.  Though The Virgin Rule Book can
stand alone without the prequel, I really enjoyed having some background.

Nadia and Crosby become more than friends with benefits in this
full-length novel.  It is written in
first person from a dual POV.
I love Nadia. She is fierce and I adore that she is the
billionaire in this book.  I love her
quest for love.  I love that she is
confident in who she is and does not change herself to suit the whim of some
date.  I love that Crosby adores all the
things about her that intimidate other men. 
I love the attraction, passion, heat, and friendship between them.  I love their joking banter.  They are incredibly sweet together and I
especially loved that communicate throughout the changes their relationship
takes along the way.  Crosby is a hot
athlete with a huge heart and a lot of self- doubt when it comes to relationships.  I love that he takes a chance with
Nadia.  They have a wonderful HEA, and I
cannot wait to see more of them in upcoming books of this series.
