Hot Cocoa Wars: A Christmas Romance by:Christine Houston

ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Lane Brentwood is too busy trying to save Aunt Darla’s cocoa shop to have time for romance. And she definitely doesn’t have time for Logan McClain no matter what his deep blue eyes and charming smile do to her heart rate. Besides, he’s the brother of Macie, Lane’s cold-hearted nemesis in a Christmas competition. 
Yet no matter how hard she tries, Lane finds herself thrown into Logan’s company. One awkward kiss under the mistletoe and Lane finds it harder than ever to resist her attraction to Logan. 
The problem is, Lane’s pretty darn good at snubbing her dreams, thinking it’s the only way she can make the world a better place. Her feelings for Logan unlock a deeper yearning she’s been trying to ignore. It’ll take a special Christmas miracle to help Lane decide between following her heart and leaving her dreams behind. 

MY THOUGHTS:
I loved this one! I was kind of weird reading a Christmas book in March but it’s been on my list for a while. I’m glad I finally read it! I loved Lane and Logan! This is such a cute romance about 2 people trying to find themselves but end up with so much more together! Can’t wait to read more from this Author!

ABOUT THE BOOK:

You can take the detective out of the investigation, but you can't take the investigator out of the detective.

A notorious gang puts a bounty on Detective Cady Matthews’s head after she takes down their leader, leaving her no choice but to hide until she can testify at trial. But her temporary home across the country on a remote North Carolina island isn’t as peaceful as she initially thinks. 

Living under the new identity of Cassidy Livingston, she struggles to keep her investigative skills tucked away, especially after a body washes ashore. When local police bungle the murder investigation, she can’t resist stepping in. But Cassidy is supposed to be keeping a low profile. One wrong move could lead to both her discovery and her demise.

Relentless: A Raven Remington Novel by: Christy Barritt

ABOUT THE BOOK:
You've read about her in the Worst Detective Ever mystery series. Now Raven Remington comes to life in this novella that's written as if it's a TV show.

An ex-CIA operative. A top-secret mission. Danger that lurks at every turn.

Raven Remington is facing her most challenging mission: protecting the man who may have killed her sister. The former spy is still trying to integrate into life as a civilian and figure out whom to trust. With each passing day, the task becomes more difficult.

Can Raven figure out who is trying to assassinate the man—the senator—she’s been tasked to protect . . . or will surprises hidden just below the surface destroy life as she knows it?

*Relentless is based on the fictional TV show starring Hollywood starlet Joey Darling from The Worst Detective Ever mystery series.

MY THOUGHTS:
I love “The Worst Detective Ever” series that this book is a spin off of. I understand that this is an episode of Joey’s show and I kept that in mind the whole time but I felt like it was lacking the wow factor and fun of other books by this Author. I enjoyed it but it wasn’t my favorite of hers for sure. It was pretty awesome to see my name as part of the show credits though! Can’t wait to read more in the original series of these books and more from this Author in general. Her books are amazing even if this one didn’t grab me.

Hart and Soul by: Lisa Swinton

MY THOUGHTS:
Just a fun, short novella. I read this while waiting for my hubby to come home from work. It’s sad when parents push their kids to be something they couldn’t but I know a lot that do it. Phone has been pushed by people her whole life to do the things they wanted. It isn’t uncommon that just one person can change our perspective on things. Kane was that guy her for. This story is super short but it felt complete. I’d love to read a follow up some day.

Statistically Improbable (Dating by Design) (Volume 2)

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Two professional matchmakers. One fake relationship. He's a playboy. She's a good girl. What could possibly go wrong? According to Binary Search's matchmaking service, Meg and Zander's odds of ever having a successful relationship are statistically improbable. Meg has run the numbers and knows the probability, but for some reason she can't quit thinking about her coworker, Zander--the self-proclaimed eternal bachelor. To make matters more interesting, Zander approaches her with an unusual proposition. He's in need of a pretend girlfriend. Meg thinks this could be the answer to get him out of her system,and maybe knock the arrogant man down a few notches in the process. But what she doesn't realize is there is more to this man, something he carefully hides behind his arrogant exterior. And when her feelings begin to be anything but pretend, she knows the odds of getting hurt are more than probable. Will they let the odds over come them, or will they find that all the reasons they are wrong for each other are exactly what make them a perfect fit?

MY THOUGHTS:
Love this one! I forgot how much I loved Zander in the first book in this series. Zander and Meg remind me of my husband and I. I like to think I keep him grounded and I know I also ‘tamed him’ from how he was before we met. This book was so much fun and a great filler for my insomnia last night. Can’t wait for the next on in this series!

MY THOUGHTS:This was such a cute story! I was about two insecure people trying to overcome their own short comings to be able to learn love each other.

But when a lost bet leads to a blind date with her brother's friend, Wyatt, she begins to have second thoughts about second chances.

MY THOUGHTS:

A Brand New Second Chance by Lucy McConnell

Loved Carter and Abigail's story. Carter knew for so long what he wanted he was wasn't brave enough to go for it. Abigail as only know one life and now she just needs to start things over. This was a great start to the set of second chance love. Cant wait to see what is next!

A Perfect Fit by Janette Rallison

This was such a fun story! I loved the banter between JoJo and Wyatt. This Author always has a lot of fun humor in her books. I also like how the characters from the other stories make some appearances in this one. It makes reading about the town even more fun.

Almost Home by Heather Tullis

I really liked this one! I love getting a better look into more people in town and I like it when the other stories intertwine. I loved Damon and Haley’s story. They met in High School but never got the chance at a relationship. This second chance romance story is so much fun!

Change of Plans by Cami Checketts

Cami is my favorite I love all her books! Kaitlyn and Mason are characters we have seen and fallen in love with over the course of these books. Although I loved their story in the past everyone deserves to find their happily ever after and I really loved getting to know Kaitlyn a lot better in this story. I think it’s my favorite so far! Love this series and the town!

Coming Home to Love by Rachelle J. Christensen

Laney and Billy had such a great story. They started out as childhood friends and then High School sweethearts. After parting and then reuniting years later they aren’t too excited about rekindling any type of relationship. It was a fun read and a great finish to the second chance kisses series. I really liked it! I found myself connecting with the characters and routing for a happily ever after!

MY THOUGHTS:
A Kiss is Just a Kiss by: Melinda Curtis
Wow this book was so fun. I'm not sure how the reality of it would really go over in a family of Sister's but it was still a fun read anyway. I really like the chemistry between Kitty and Beck. Grandma Dotty was my favorite for sure. She brought so much excitement and danger to the story! Loving all the books in this series so far!

Taste of Tara
This was such a cute book! I think I saw Gone with the Wind when I was young but I don't remember and I have never read it. I guess I need to brush up on some of the classics for sure. I loved Bret and Tara's story. They were great together his gift was awesome. Think thing that was my favorite part. I'm a sucker for a good happily ever after!

The Wedding charm
This one is my favorite of the set so far! I love Sarah and Ben's story. I could just relate to it so well and fell in love with the characters. I found myself hoping they would find their happily ever after. They had to complete some crazy tasks that would either bring them closer or tear them apart. It was such a fun story and a great read for a day to myself! Can't wait to look up more from this Author!
