4 stars-- Finding Me (Love at Starlight #3) by Kris Jett
I won't lie. I was real nervous going into Finding Me. Luci and I have NOT gotten along during the series so far so I was fully prepared to have a bitch fest all over her but...she pulled it off!
The Gist: Luci done screwed up. She tried to sell her sister's pub...without permission and the realtor? Well he's kinda pissed since she wasted all his time for nothing. It kinda grates that he keeps running into her all over town. But dammit he's intrigued, too. And suddenly finds himself all wrapped up in one of her schemes.

That he then asks her to cook last minute for a huge fundraiser? Well that's just beyond the pale. But damn all a girl could really use the money and publicity.

4 stars-- Cowboy SEAL Christmas (Navy SEAL Cowboys #3) by Nicole Helm
Sometimes the ones with the biggest smiles are the ones hiding the most hurt and pain. Cowboy SEAL Christmas tugged at the heart, yall. Whew boy!
The Gist: Gabe is not fond of therapists. That the foundation he's co-building to help military veterans has an on site therapist..irksome to say the least. That she's got a cool kid and is a great mom and is scorching hot...yeah. Color him real annoyed. And, dammit, tempted. Even if she's all about Christmas cheer and he's got a whole Grinch thing going on. lol

3.5 stars-- Lost and Found Sisters (Wildstone #1) by Jill Shalvis
Note: I accidentally deleted 6 months of the blog so this is a repost. All comments on the original posts were unfortunately lost. Sorry!
I'm a huge fan of Jill Shalvis. I'd been putting off this series for a while, though, but it was a pretty fun start to things. It's more women's fiction than romance, though.
The Gist: Quinn's life has been upended. She's lost her sister and then, well, everything else falls to crap, too. Family, relationships, her job...who she thinks she is as a person. And she's left with a huge choice that will completely alter her life if she accepts it.

3.5 stars-- Rainy Day Friends (Wildstone #2) by Jill Shalvis
Rainy Day Friends was a good read. Great family, awesome characters, a tug at your heart storyline. A good time, indeed.
The Gist: Lanie's a new widow and just found out that her dear husband...had been collecting other wives the whole time they were married. Yeah. Her method of dealing? Running away and accepting a graphic design job at a winery while she sorts shit out. The huge nosy meddling family and the hunky cop with two little girls...she was not expecting them. Nope.

They just need to make it convincing and keep it from backfiring on them... as these things do. lol

4 stars-- Just To Be With You (Seattle Sullivans #4) by Bella Andre
Bella Andre is such a comfort read. Just to Be With You had some sexy, some sweet and as usual was just a good time spent reading.
The Gist: Tatiana's been smitten with Ian Sullivan since meeting him at a wedding. When she realizes she needs help figuring out an upcoming movie role she's all over asking the handsome CEO if she can shadow him for a little while. If she can convince him to fall madly in love with her, too? Even better!

4 stars-- Christmastime Cowboy by Maisey Yates
Christmas. Cowboys. Maisey Yates. Could it BE any more perfect?! lol
Christmastime Cowboy was full of great characters that were a bit broken and in need of mending, some growly chemistry that turned oh-so-yummily hot. Family, friends, steamy love scenes and heartwarming moments. Add in the holiday spirit and, yep, Christmastime Cowboy was another winner from Yates.

3-3.5 stars--- Wrong Number, Right Guy (The Bourbon Street Boys #1) by Elle Casey
I didn't hate it!
Which is surprising after seeing the reviews from friends.
So, the gist. May, she lands herself in the middle of a biker bar... in a shootout. Because of a wrong number. OOps! And now she's got to put her trust-- or at least a little-- in one of the bad guys. Who might not be a bad guy. But surely isn't a safe bet, either. Mmhm.

4 stars-- Disorderly Conduct (Academy #1) by Tessa Bailey
Goodness. Police recruits. A whole herd of charming, cocky police recruits heating up the streets of New York. Yes, please! lol Bailey's won me over with the Academy series. I actually started with book two then came back to Disorderly Conduct. And the crazy mess that's Charlie and Ever. And oh...it was fun.
The Gist: Horny lust filled eyes meet across a bar one night and BAM! naked bits are rejoicing! Ever and Charlie are two peas in a pod. They want to get all kinds of filthy together but skip the commitment and any attachments-- that's how they were raised after all. Until one day things change and Ever realizes she wants a happy ever after with someone and cuts commitment-phobe Charlie loose. Something he's not on board with. Not on board with at all. He just needs to find a way to prove to her dating other men? Terrible idea.

4 stars-- Slow Burn Cowboy (Copper Ridge #7) by Maisey Yates
Oh.My.Word. These two were a handful! Best friends to lovers and one helluva awkward growly leap to get from just hanging out to naked fun. Whew! Slow Burn Cowboy was quite the ride.
The Gist

So things are spiraling and Finn's control kinda snaps. He's been wanting Lane something fierce for a decade and apparently that's the bit he just can't keep under control anymore. He's ready jump in cock first...consequences be damned.
