MY THOUGHTS:
This is the first book I read in this series and it was edge of your seat amazing! Dan and Cami are an amazing team. This collaboration between the 2 of them was pure genius! You will find yourself on an emotional rollercoaster and as any good book should you’ll be cheering, screaming and maybe even gasping or close to crying at some point. Can’t wait to read more from these 2 and the rest of this series as well!

Last Chance (In The Garden Book 4) by: Heather Tullis

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Four years ago Comfrey turned her back on the high-class life she had been raised in and her equally high-class fiance--knowing he loved the life she had found suffocating. Excited to be moving forward with her new permaculture homestead, and sure she is finally over him, she is shocked to find Nick standing on her doorstep.

Nick had no plans to see Comfrey again after she broke his heart, but his boss, who happens to be her father, has other ideas. Tasked with convincing her to come back to the fold, he finds that loving her is something he may never get out of his blood. Now he just has to convince her that they have a future together.

MY THOUGHTS:
Loved this one! Sad that it will be the last in this series. I had a lot of fun reading this one and I can relate to Comfry in a lot of ways. There is nothing wrong with distancing yourself from people, especially family, when they are dragging you down. When someone doesn’t take the time to understand you and your thoughts they have no place trying to suggest what’s best for you. I’m so glad Comfry was willing to give her and Nick another try and it was nice to see some of the other characters from the earlier books show up here. Can’t wait to see more from this Author.

MY THOUGHTS:

The Baby Assignment (The Baby Protectors) by: Christy Barritt

ABOUT THIS BOOK:
BABY IN JEOPARDY

Tasked with figuring out who left a baby girl at the Houston FBI office, Special Agent Tanner Wilson has only one hint—his ex-girlfriend’s name written on a scrap of paper. But child psychologist Macy Mills doesn’t recognize little Addie, and someone’s dead set on abducting her…even if it costs Tanner’s and Macy’s lives. And with Addie and Macy as targets, Tanner’s new mission is to protect them both—at the risk of his own life andheart. Macy will do anything to help him find who’s after Addie, and make amends for her past mistakes. But for their reunion to become a second chance at love, they must find a way to survive the danger threatening to tear them apart.

MY THOUGHTS:

This was a fast paced suspense novel with a lot of action. I couldn’t imagine having to work with an Ex especially in a high stress situation. The chemistry between Tanner and Macy is there for sure but neither wants to act on it. You can’t help but cheer for a happily ever after for them all. If you like fast paced books that just keep the action coming you’ll love this one for sure!

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.

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!

Storm Surge (Lantern Beach Mysteries Book 3) by: Christy Barritt

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.

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. When love comes before they expected they both become skiddish and run from each other. We all do that in life don't we? This was a great reminder of many life lessons. Great job Rachelle!
