Free Fallin': Book 2 in the Love and Weddings Trilogy

Free Fallin': Book 2 in the Love and Weddings Trilogy by; Shannon Guymon

To learn more about Shannon and her awesome books visit her web site: http://shannonguymon.blogspot.com/


ABOUT THE BOOK:
In the past, Pule Matafeo hasn't had the best reputation but now he’s stepping up when others need to count on him. He's doing his best to be a responsible man, so when Posey Tyler shows up and throws his whole life into commotion, he's not sure whether to run or embrace the wildness. And when tragedy strikes, Pule is the one people turn to to hold the family together, bringing everyone closer than ever before. Will he choose a life without risk, or will he give Posey a chance to hold his heart? But if he gambles on love, will everything he’s worked hard to rebuild, be destroyed?

MY THOUGHTS:
Without fail when I start a Shannon Guymon book, I can not stop. I was up until 1am. This one, WOW! It will leave you feeling emotionally crazy. It's not very often a book makes me cry, and hurt and sorta happy all at the same time. Pule deserved a good story and I thought this was the perfect fit for him. He has done a lot of growing up the past book or 2 but still had some more to do. He defiantly comes full circle in this book. I loved his story! My heart aches for the other shocker in this book that I won't spoil, if your a fan you won't want to miss this. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. I have really come to love the people of Fircrest. This book increases that love as they all pull together for tragedy. It's still really tough for me and it's just a book. This is one of the best books of the set for sure! Shannon's books rock! ;)

First, that her dad is truly living his dream and has never been happier, and second, she’s unexpectedly attracted to his business partner, Miguel.

In THE PIER CHANGES EVERYTHING, an enchanting novella by Annette Lyon, Alexandria has one last task to perform for her late husband, who died much too young: scatter his ashes in the Pacific Ocean. She goes to the Santa Monica Pier to do just that, but her plans get sidetracked after meeting Michael and feeling an immediate connection to him. They grab lunch, and the more time they spend together, the more they discover that they have in common—including past romantic hardships. As the day wears on, Alexandria begins learn that her heart just might be able to find love again.

In Jennifer Moore’s captivating novella A HERO’S SONG, AnneMarie’s career as a romance novelist is skyrocketing and her agent books her on a late night talk show. The host gets her to admit that she was in love once, with a guitar player. Moments after her segment, Lance Holden appears on the same stage, to perform his newest song. Is it a terrible coincidence? AnneMarie hasn’t seen Lance ever since he broke her heart ten years ago, and she has refused to think about him again. Their lives are worlds apart, but as Lance tries to reconcile with AnneMarie, she finds herself taking a second chance.

In STAY WITH ME, an endearing novella by Shannon Guymon, Jolie moves to L.A. to take on a nanny position for the summer, since apparently having a degree in art doesn’t translate to getting a job as a graphic designer. When Fitz, the family’s chauffeur, picks her up at the airport, she wonders if every man in LA is model-gorgeous. When Jolie meets her two charges, she finds them adorable and needy. But it’s harder to hold onto her job than she thought with a hostile Mrs. James and her spoiled brother. Fitz becomes both the silver lining of her job and the man who just might convince her to stay in L.A.

In the delightful novella, A PLACE TO CALL HOME, by Sarah M. Eden, Ada is the best realtor around. The best. She prides herself in matching each client with the house that will fit all of their needs. She hasn’t failed yet. So when Craig hires her to find him the perfect condo for him and his son, Ada is up for the challenge. What she may not be prepared for is her unforeseen attraction to Craig, her immediate attachment to his nine-year-old son, and her heart telling her that it’s okay to take another chance.

MY THOUGHTS:

I love these Romance Anthologies! Not only are the novellas always awesome, so are the Authors! I love that they always try to include 3 new Authors each time. It is the best way to introduce you to new Authors, I have discovered many this way, and I am never disappointed! All the stories are sweet, clean romances that be read quickly! I couldn't put this book down until I was done. Even my Mom who isn't much of a romance reader likes to read these sets because they are like the feel good romances we like to watch on TV. I enjoyed all of the stories equally and can't wait for the next set!

MY THOUGHTS:

DANNY’S GIRL—Manon is trying to escape an abusive relationship. She is literally speeding away to save her life. When she is stopped by Danny, a policeman, the last thing she wants is another man in her life. Danny is used to protecting people and can see how scared she is. He promises her that is she stops running he will protect her. Manon and Danny are able to form a sweet friendship built on trust. The only problem is they both have insecurities that get in the way.....this was a great book and the first I have read of Susan's. I see there are other books in this series I will be looking into the others because this was worth the read!



COME TO ME—I loved this book! I know I say that EVERYTIME but I really really love them all! Rob Definitely needed his own story. I mean come on he is a retired professional athlete he has to end up with a girl! I thought that little Wren was a perfect fit for him. They have a great story! And I am glad that Rob was able to get over his insecurities and know that he was worthy of any girl that would have him! I love all of the people in the little town if Fircrest and I like that if you get more of Shannon’s books you get to read about each one individually and get to know them better. It was another great book to add to my collection. I can’t wait to read the next one!


TEMPORARY BRIDESMAID--Always a bridesmaid never a bride...this is the case with Jenny. Now in her late 30's and living in Utah, as a single woman, she is in a tough spot. She decides to swear off men all together when he office hires a temp. Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome...she has never been so flustered or mean in her life......this was a great read as well! I hadn't read any others of LuAnn's books. She had a real talent for story telling! I was sad to read of her passing not long ago and after reading one of her books I see how much she will be missed! Love the triple treat sets this was another must read set!
