Seeking Mr. Perfect (The Jane Austen Pact) by: Jennifer Youngblood

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Broken trust, broken hearts, and a twist of fate that could change everything.

Sierra McCain has her life figured out with a fabulous job in New York City and a perfect boyfriend who is the modern-day equivalent of Jane Austen's Mr. Darcy. The type of guy Sierra always wanted to find. 

Then, a frantic call from an old friend sends her rushing back to South Carolina where she comes face to face with the very guy she's spent the past seven years trying to forget--Dalton Chandler whose slow, Southern smile unleashes an army of butterflies in her stomach and sends her heart into flips. Under no circumstance can she fall for him again, and she certainly can't tell him her long-kept secret.

Caught between two worlds and two very different men, Sierra must decide which love she'll choose--Mr. Perfect or Mr. Right.

MY THOUGHTS:
This is the first I read in this series. It has a “Sweet Home Alabama” vibe to it. That move is one of my favorites so I really enjoyed this book a lot. Sierra and Dalton were so cute together and had such a long history. You couldn’t help wish for a happily ever after for them. Can’t wait to read more in this series!

The Sheriff's Bride: Country Brides & Cowboy Boots (Cobble Creek Romance Book 1) by: Kimberly Krey

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Trent Lockheart might be the new sheriff in town, but he can’t stop Jessie Jean from stealing his heart.

Sheriff Trent Lockheart knew he’d be in for a challenge when he moved from the big city and a large police force to the small Wyoming town of Cobble Creek. But at least he’d be able to stick to his bachelor ways without temptation. So he thought. Cobble Creek isn’t overflowing with young, single ladies, but Jessie Jean—the gorgeous brunette who runs the Country Quilt Inn—proves more tempting than any woman he’s known. 

Jessie doesn’t care much for the new sheriff in town. After an explosive first meeting that almost ends in Jessie’s arrest, she’s even more determined to plan on dinner for one for the rest of her life. Sure, the new sheriff is seriously attractive, and after a second, much less dangerous run-in, he might not be that bad, but Jessie has no plan to marry, date, or even let a man into her life. Still, as the days pass, Trent’s surprising charm works past Jessie’s determination, and she finds promise in their budding relationship. 

After opening up about the difficulties in her past, Jessie finds that Trent is guarding a dark tragedy of his own, one that might threaten their chance at a future together.

Narcissistic Tendencies (Dating by Design Book 3) by: Jennifer Peel

ABOUT THE BOOK:
"*Warning* Clear all plans before you start this book, because I promise you will NOT want to put it down until the last page has been read!" - Kathy Jo from KJ's Book Nook ★★★★★

"Waiting for that first kiss was sweet torture but was it worth it? Yumma yes! Nick makes fanning yourself a necessity." - Aimee from Getting Your Read On ★★★★★

He wants her future. She can't forget her past.

Psychologist Kate Morgan loves her job evaluating clients for the matchmaking service Binary Search. That is, until the one and only Nicholas Wells becomes a client and the new face of the company. Now Kate must take on a new role as his relationship manager to "fix" the actor-turned-writer-and-producer--not to mention egotistical, possibly narcissistic celebrity--and save Binary Search's reputation.

Once upon a time this would have been a dream come true, but older, wiser, and live-within-her-rules Kate knows more than she would like to about narcissists. Annulment is an ugly word and one she can't or won't forget. But is Nick the man he says he is on paper or is he the man she sees before her eyes? An adoring father with a generous heart who's willing to smooth out some of his rough edges for the right woman, making her think who's fixing who?

Can this Hollywood playboy and reluctant matchmaker make the ultimate connection?

MY THOUGHTS:
I loved Nick and Kate’s story. I loved that things weren’t easy for them even though she was a trained psychologist. We all want a night and shinning armor to sweep us off our feet, to court and love us. A celebrity that is full of himself is not someone you would ever expect to try and fit that bill. I love books that stick to real life and don’t make everything feel like sunshine and rainbows. Books from this Author are always amazing! Can’t wait for more from her!

Kings Crossed Lovers, Safe Harbors #4 by Donna K Weaver

ABOUT THE BOOK:
A Novella

Ethan Walters has no time for distractions like romance. Not if he's going to have the brilliant medical career he's always dreamed of. But when he's given a trip to a theme park resort as a college graduation present, he can't exactly say no. Even if Samantha—the one girl with the power to dismantle his goals—is tagging along.

With that battle on the horizon, Sam proceeds to go on vacation with her brother and his roommate. She’s crushed on Ethan for years. They've only met online, but their hours-long conversations are the highlight of her week. Now she has a chance to find out if the cyber magic she's felt with him will translate to real life.

And wow, does it ever—with sparks flying! Now all she has to do is find a way to fight off her mother's machinations while convincing Ethan she won’t destroy his dreams.

MY THOUGHTS:
This was such a fun story. Sam and Ethan net and became friends through her brother. They were both huge fantasy book fans. This books had a twist of the Harry Potter story. I have never been a big fan of it myself but this book was super cute. My favorite like was....”The world is full of toxic people, and they can suck the joy right out of you—if you let them. So, don’t let them.” Something we all need to live by to be happy. Great addition to this sets of resort romances
