ABOUT THIS BOOK:
A woman on the run … an appealing millionaire promising to shelter her.
Hazel Longhurst flies to America for Christmas hoping to photograph the beauty of Western mountains, learn to ski, and maybe find her an American cowboy. When she witnesses a murder, she runs, right into Heath Strong’s appealing arms.
Heath Strong has plenty of reasons to shelter and protect Hazel, but what about all the reasons he can’t resist her appealing accent, positive attitude, and adorable smile? Can he put his family at risk loving a fugitive or should he turn her over to authorities who might be on a mob family’s paycheck?
Will they fall in love for Christmas or be torn apart by the vindictive man framing her?
MY THOUGHTS:
I’m loving this strong family series!!!! It was so much fun to learn more about Heath and I absolutely adore Hazel. My Mom is British so it was awesome to read all the British sayings and words I grew up with. There were parts of this one that were a little slower for me but I loved all the extra romance and the excitement at the end! I can’t wait to keep reading the rest of this series!

Paige's Turn by: Jennifer Peel
ABOUT THE BOOK:
With the encouragement of her beloved Aunt Mitzi, plain and overlooked Paige James left her hometown of Bella Port ten years ago and never looked back. But free-spirited Aunt Mitzi had plans for Paige to stop being pushed into the background. Those plans included leaving Paige as sole heir to her fortune and owner of her bookstore, Paige's Turn. Begrudgingly, Paige returns home to fulfill her aunt's last wishes, no longer the girl who'd left in baggy jeans and an ill-fitting t-shirt.
Paige discovers, though, that Mitzi's last wishes include a lot of meddling in her love life. From the grave, and with the help of some friends, Mitzi has set out to make sure Paige and Bella Port's most eligible bachelor, Sam Kennedy, find true love together. What Mitzi didn't foresee is the firestorm and gossip she created that paints Paige as a swindler and liar, leaving Sam to wonder about the grown woman Paige has become. It doesn't help when Paige fires him after their first meeting. But as friendship blossoms between Paige and Sam, they find each other hard to resist.
Was Mitzi right about the two of them? Will Paige finally have her turn?
MY THOUGHTS:
The whole time I was reading this one I swear I had read it before but I couldn’t find my review anywhere. That being said I loved it! Sam and Paige are great together and Mitzi is best! I love that Mitzi was looking out for her even after she passed away. I love reading books by this Author they are always amazing can’t wait to read more!

Return to Sender by Jennifer Peel
ABOUT THIS BOOK:
"This is the kind of book you suggest to your friends. The kind of story that sticks with you long after the last word." - Dana from Random Chaos ★★★★★
He never wanted to leave her. She never expected him to return.
If Ariana Stanton has learned anything in life, it's that men leave. She's been taught this lesson well from the father she's never met, who sends her a mysterious letter once a year, to her ex-fiancé, who left her for another woman. So, when she meets the charming and seemingly perfect Jonah, she promises him they will never be more than friends. It's a promise she can't keep. But before he has a chance to leave her, she sends him away.
Dr. Jonah Adkinson has one regret--that he let Ariana remain convinced that love never lasts. But now, nine years later, the single dad is back in Pine Falls and on a mission: prove Ariana wrong. He's determined to win over the love of his life. And this time he won't let anything get in the way, not even her.
Now, not only does Ariana have to face the man she's still in love with, but she must confront the mystery of her father's letters, forcing her to reevaluate the past and her choices. But will it be enough to make her believe that, unlike the letter she's always returned, Jonah is hers to keep?
MY THOUGHTS:
Oh how I loved this one! Swoon worthy for sure! I loved Ariana and Jonah’s story. Life is all about hard things and how to overcome them and this book covers them all. I like when Authors don’t make it all about the fairy tale. My favorite quote from the book is, “And I hate to break it to you, but you’re going to screw up and so is he, probably more often than you. But that’s where real love is born and made. It’s a love you’ll never know until you’re willing to risk becoming a loser.” This is pretty much marriage in a nutshell for me! This book is amazing and this Author remains one of my favorites for sure can’t wait for more!

Ten Seconds to Dead by: L.A. Clayton
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Ten seconds may be all she has left ...
Kate Edison witnesses her father’s death and, in order to keep his memory alive, decides to follow in his footsteps by joining the CIA. She molds herself into becoming exactly what the CIA is looking for---and captures their interest, both personally and professionally. But before she can finish the CIA process, Kate is offered a position as an espionage agent in another highly secretive government agency, which she accepts.
While completing her agency training, Kate is catapulted into a shadowy world where wealth and power are the ultimate goal, and those in charge will stop at nothing to get it. While on the job, Kate uncovers secrets that, if revealed, would cost her life, but if kept, could bring down a nation. Isolated and unsure of who to trust, she brings in a fellow agent, but pulling him into the web of conspiracy and lies puts a target on both their backs - and it will take every skill they’ve ever learned as agents to stay alive long enough to stop the enemy no one else can see.
MY THOUGHTS:
This book was all kinds of intense and action packed. I loved it! There are a few parts that are a little slower but it is still an edge of your seat page turner. PLUS Kate is awesome! I loved her and her desire to learn and help people. Her story is such a great one and the friends she made all have great personalities that just add to the story. I really hope that we get to see some more of her AGI friends in the next book! On that note, AGI is all sorts of messed up haha the reality that something like that probably exists makes this book even more intense. For a first time Author she did an amazing job! I can’t wait to see her writing develop and grow and she writes more!

The Corporate Groom (Billionaire Marriage Brokers) by Lucy McConnell
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Kensington Donegal is in trouble. Her father is dying and her sisters are plotting against her to sell off the family ice cream business—a business that has made them all billionaires. The position of CEO will be decided by a vote and her sisters' two votes will cancel out her one—unless she gets married. In desperation she turns to her aunt, Pamela Jones, who is an experienced match maker for the wealthy. Kensington counts on Aunt Pamela to find the type of husband that will get her the vote and secure her position as CEO. What she wasn’t counting on was Nash Westport’s immovable moral compass. He won’t vote for her unless she can prove she’s the best woman for the job.
Nash isn’t about to give away his chance at redemption—not for a big paycheck and certainly not for a pretty face. Kensington certainly is beautiful and her ability to command a room is unquestionable. What Nash has to worry about, is her ability to take command of his heart. He needs to be a stand-up guy and shake off the dust of his misdeeds so he can regain his family’s trust and earn a new reputation.
When the vote for CEO is cast, and Nash is once again portrayed as the bad guy, he finds that he doesn’t care as much about his reputation with the business world as he does for his relationship with Kensington. The problem is, he may have already lost her.
Kensington doesn’t know what to think of the man she married. For a mail-order groom, he turned out to be surprisingly tender, big-hearted, handsome, and a pain in the backside. Kensington is forced to choose between her family’s legacy and her temporary husband. She’ll have to gamble one of them or lose them both—and her dreams—forever.
MY THOUGHTS:
I missed this series it is one of my all time favs and this book did not disappoint. I loved Nash and Kenzi. They are so great together and are able to complete each other weaknesses the way every good marriage should. I also loved that things didn’t go as planned, such is life. We need more from this series

My Not So Wicked Stepbrother (My Not So Wicked Series Book 1) by Jennifer Peel
ABOUT THE BOOK:
"Wickedly charming, flirty, and clever. This is the ultimate friends to lovers story. I loved it!" Becky Monson, Number One Bestselling Author of the Spinster Series ★★★★★
"You'll want to crawl between the covers of this book and never leave." - Whitney Dineen, Number One Bestselling Author of Relatively Normal ★★★★★
Loveless is more than a name, it's a curse.
I, Emma Loveless, have a destiny. It's not the greatest of destinies, but when you have a name like Loveless, what can you do? I'm cursed to always be the friend, never the girlfriend. Unless you count my love affair with Duncan Hines, Dr. Pepper, and the ever-lovable Pillsbury Doughboy. They've seen me through it all, but a girl needs more than refined sugar to curl up to every night. It doesn't help that I have a meddling, albeit wonderful, mother who can't help playing matchmaker. Thanks to her, I can say I've been on a date with a felon. Now she swears she's found the one for me, her new optometrist, Dr. Sawyer King. Meanwhile, I'm preparing for the inevitable restraining order. That is, until I meet the sexy doctor and have to admit my mother is right--love at first sight does exist.
Unfortunately, my last name means business. Not only do I find myself in the friend zone, but also the twilight zone. Only in my world would Mr. Right turn into my stepbrother. To top it off, he brings with him a wicked stepmother who will do anything to keep us apart. Despite all this my heart--or is that my mom?--keeps telling me Sawyer is the one. But what if true love isn't strong enough to interfere with my destiny? It'll be me and the Doughboy...for eternity.
MY THOUGHTS:
Oh my heck I loved this one so much! I ended up staying up into the wee hours of the morning because I couldn’t put it down. It was so amazing! I loved Em and Sawyer together! I was seriously sad it was over and by that point I had almost been awake almost 24 hours

I loved the humor and the banter and just everything about this one! One of my new favorites for sure!

He tells himself he just wants to make sure his best friend’s widow is okay, but when he spends time with her and Deven, he realizes the feelings for her that he had been trying to ignore are still there. When he learns about the stalker, he’s determined to help. If he can get to her see him as more than a friend along the way, all the better.
MY THOUGHTS:
I loved Meena and Kaleb’s story so much! I didn’t realize that the Author was writing stories about the ladies from the women’s shelter but I loved this first one and I hope that the other ladies are getting their own stories as well. Meena had a really rough 3 years or so and when Kaleb walked back into her life things changed for the better! Can’t wait for more in this series I hope they are in the works!

Marrying Miss Kringle: Frost
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Frost buried her face in her hands, feeling all the pressure to save Christmas. Neither Stella nor Robyn had the potential for love yet. They were starting from scratch. But she had more than potential; she had an invitation. It was up to her to find Tannon; get him to profess his love to her; and save her family, the North Pole, and Christmas for children all over the world.
Oh, Tannon, I hope you’re ready to love me.
Frost Kringle broke one of the North Pole’s rules the day she replied to a letter from Tannon Cebu; but, her Kringle-enhanced empathy wouldn’t allow her to walk away from the anguish in his words. What began as a disobedient impulse grew into friendship and eventually love. If her secret romance is revealed, she’ll be banished from her home and family.
When the Kringle’s discover Christmas Magic is dangerously off balance, Frost musters up the courage to meet Tannon in person with the hope that they can marry and save Christmas. While she’s away from her precious Letters Room, her secret is blown right open and she’s exiled. In order to make it home for Christmas, Frost has to bring Christmas cheer to those who need it most.
Tannon, is tired of the corporate grind and wants out. He’s decided to sell his paper mill and retire to a quiet corner where he can raise his son in peace. His announcement, right before the holidays, creates an uproar as employees wonder if they’ll have a job in the New Year. No one in town feels like celebrating and they have little hope of a happy holiday.If Frost can get Tannon, and the town of Elderberry, to believe in Christmas once again, she’ll make it home and save Santa’s workshop from turning into a block of ice and ruining Christmas for children all over the world. Trouble arises when Tannon’s interest turn to Frost more than to Christmas. She walks a tinsel-fine line between falling for him and failing in her Christmas quest.
With her whole world out of balance, Frost must look deep inside herself to bring about a Christmas miracle—with a little help from her jolly family.
MY THOUGHTS:
I loved this one so much I couldn’t put it down. I’ll be paying for it today. I was up past 2am haha The Kringle family is awesome and I love being able to get a personal look at each one. Frosts story was surprising at first, the fact that she kept a secret so long but her and Tanner are so great together! I absolutely adored this one and can’t wait for the books of the other Sisters!!!!

Just a Name
ABOUT THE BOOK:
MY THOUGHTS:
I loved this one. It was such a fun book! I missed the humor from her other books but I loved the story line! Holly is a lot like me doesn’t like change and is good with the way things are lol. It’s good for us all to be pushed out of our comfort zones once in a while. Don’t want to give any spoilers so I’ll just say.... I Would have loved an epilogue update at the end but maybe we will get that in the next book... can’t wait for more from this Author she’s amazing!
Holly has a plan for everything. But she never could have planned for this.
Holly Murphy’s perfectly planned life is not going so well. Her fiancé recently dumped her, the team she supervises at work secretly hates her, and now the promotion she’s worked so hard for is in jeopardy.
Thinking that maybe Holly is too tightly wound and needs a break from everything, Holly’s boss demands she take a vacation. Holly’s best friend Quinn comes up with a wild idea for Holly to do a nationwide search for a man with the same name as her ex-fiancé to go with her on her honeymoon trip. That idea is a no-go for play-it-safe Holly, until her boss finds out and loves the idea.
Resigned, Holly gives in and starts the nationwide search, and when handsome Nate Jones from Newport Beach gets picked to go with her, she wonders if this whole thing won’t be so bad after all.
Will Holly learn that sometimes even the best laid plans need to be thrown out the window once in a while? Or will it send her running and screaming back to her safety net?
