MY THOUGHTS:
What Falling Feels Like by Jolene Betty Perry
This was such a cute story. Tyler and Kendell were childhood friends that lost touch with each other. It doesn't take them long to realize that even after years apart they still have a bond. There is nothing better than having a partner in life that knows you inside and out. That is what this story was all about! Loved it! 

Antiques Road Trip by: Sarah M Eden
This story was awesome! I get so tired hearing about all the reality shows these days and the smut and garbage that follow in their wake. How awesome would be it to have one based in the 1800's? Where everyone has to have manners and act properly? This was a great read with a great happily ever after ending! I love it! Great job Sarah! 

Wouldn't it Be Nice by: Reneè S. Clark

I've never taken a road trip with friends but my Brother did once...My guess is that it would be nice to have friends you like enough to want to travel with haha. Loved this story though. Sometimes what we think is the best plan for our lives is really just a side road to the main road that will become our life. Childhood friends that fall in love doesn't happen very often but I'm a sucker for a good ending! 

Head Over Heels by: Annette Lyon
I loved this one! I'm sure not many people go to comic con hoping to meet someone they would want to date but I could see it happening. That isn't exactly what happened here but an interesting setting for sure! My teen has been trying to get me just to go to one with him so he can check it out and I refuse lol. Anyway, this was such a cute story of two people thrown together that for a quick bond. They start out trying to play a joke on a mutual friend and end up falling for each other. I love that they both had the same taste in music and sang a bunch together and that they ended in Vegas. It holds a special place in my heart cause I got married there. All in all awesome story great job Annette! 

Two Dozen Roses by Heather B. Moore 
My husband and I recently went to California on vacation. I really wanted to go up the pacific coast highway and do all the little stops because it sounds fun and I love the ocean but we couldn't fit it into our schedule. We traveled across the US once and happened to have a retired couple 'following' us they stopped at all the same stops through one of the states. It was kind of fun to talk to them at each stop. We pulled way ahead of them in the end and never saw them again. I loved this story it was so fun! Good job Heather! 

Try, Try Again by Aubrey Mace
This was such a sweet story about second chances. Sometimes our hearts and our head aren't always in sync and then we have to play catch up. I love Sarah and Justin's story it was a good ending to an amazing set of stories!

MY THOUGHTS FOR: Curl up with a cowboy

Cupcakes and Cowboys by: Lindzee Armstrong
This was such a cute story. Cassidy had been through so much hurt and pain. When she is finally starting to get her live together Jace walks into her life...that is when they both start to live. Loved it! Great job! 

Sixth Street Affair By Liz Isaacson
It's so hard to read stories about abuse. Especially in a book when you expect things to be all fairy tales and happy endings. I loved this story though. Juliette and Garth have such a great story. It makes for a better story when you are able to pull from real life events, even the painful ones, and make it into something you want to read about. It was a fun read and great addition to the set! 

Ranch Hand For Auction by: Kimberly Krey
I loved this story. I especially loved the epilogue. Lately I've been reading novellas where 2 people meet and after a week they know they want to get married. In reality, it rarely works that quickly. That is why I was happy to read the epilogue and see that they took more time getting to know each other before getting married. I also appreciated that Jake paid attention to the little details because that is really the basis for a good relationship in my opinion. If you  build off all the little important things it leads to bigger even better things. As always Kim did a great job and continues to impress me with her writing!

Lights, Cowboy, Action By Cindi Madsen
Kaia and Grady come from two different worlds. Ones a cowboy and one is practicall Hollywood royalty. It's hard to even imagine how that first conversation would go. This story paints a great picture of how that relationship would play out and I really felt like I could connect with the characters well. I was worried for a second it was gonna get a little steamy and I like to keep my books clean reads but in the end it was done tastefully and PG clean! It was a fun read and a great addition to the set! 

Southern Kicks By Cassie Mae
This was a cute story. I don't read many written in the 3rd person. It was interesting that it jumped back and forth between the characters that way. I am definitely a city slicker I don't know that I could learn to live on a far if I had to. It was fun to read though. I love that Daisha wanted to do everything she could to make her husband happy and show him they could make things work! 

Holden’s Heart By: Kelli Ann Morgan
I think this was my favorite novella of the set. Olivia and Holden just reminded me of my husband and I for some reason. They clicked from the start and had an unbreakable bond. I loved the setting and the story line of this book as well. It just seemed to flow and make for a great story.

Chasing Kisses By Jolene Betty Perry
This was a great ending to a wonderful set of books. Not many people are able to make a friend in their childhood they would want to spend their life with. I loved this sweet story of a childhood friendship that grew into something so much more! 

This is a great set of clean romance and I enjoyed the whole thing!
