If you are looking for a clean romcom story that still has plenty of swoony chemistry, The Roommate Remodel is a great one to pick up! It is book four in the Renovation Romance Sweet RomCom Series, however, you can easily read this book and enjoy it without having read the previous stories. However, if you have read book three, you will remember the hints that Jaz and Brax seemed to be drawn to each other even then. I loved this story from start to finish. My heart hurt for Jaz when I read the text messages that she sent to Brax, during the time that it was becoming clear that he had ghosted ..read more

This story kept me eagerly turning the pages to see how things would work out for Blaze and Anson! These two characters had some very deep issues from their pasts to overcome, while also battling things in the present that were weighing them down. All while also finding their way to a love that could be the start of a beautiful life together. It was very moving to read as Blaze shared with Anson difficult things about her past, as well as some specific instances when Anson had caused her even more pain by the way he reacted to her at times. It was interesting to see how closed off Anson was a ..read more

I listened to the audio book version and really enjoyed the narration! Love in Tandem was such a fun story to listen to. There were some serious and sad moments, but this novel was primarily focused on a situation that forced these two opposites into close proximity with each other. I appreciated that even early on, Charlotte and Zach battled a bit of an attraction to each other, however, they were mostly frustrated with what they had been pushed into together. I did like that although this ride and camping were very out of Charlotte’s comfort zone, she actually did commit to trying to make i ..read more

This novel begins a new series. The main family is the Willets family, who also appeared in the final book of the Frontier Matches series, The Schoolmarm’s Convenient Marriage. You do not, however, need to have read that story to enjoy this one. But if you do enjoy this one and want to go back and see how Jeremy’s oldest brother, Jesse, found his love, you can jump back and read about it in that novel. I really enjoyed this story. Caroline and Jeremy were kind people who had good hearts. I liked that they wanted to give courtship a try in order to see how they suited. I felt for both of them ..read more

I really enjoyed jumping back into the Elite Guardians world. You do not have to have read the original or follow up series to begin reading the Elite Guardians: Savannah series. Readers did meet Alana in the previous series as a side character as well as in the Christmas novella collection that comes directly before this book. However, you can begin fresh with this story without prior knowledge of her character if you want to. I really liked the dynamic between Alana and Cash as well as with the children, Rocco and Penny. With Penny on the autism spectrum, it added an extra layer to the way ..read more

Well, it may not be fall right now, but I am loving jumping back into the Sweater Weather series! This is the first book of the series and I had previously only read the last book, which also features the hockey team, the Appies. From everything I had heard about this story, I expected to really enjoy it. And I truly did. It is one of those books that I didn’t want to end because it is simply that good. And I have to add that it was spectacular in audio! I really enjoyed the dual narrators. Just Don’t Fall was a wonderful combination of the fake dating trope, along with a great sports and cel ..read more

Before starting this story, I was very hesitant. You see, I had it in my mind that Jonah was the man for Naomi. Based on the way they got to know each other and grew to care for each other in earlier books, I thought I had it all figured out. However, Naomi remained sad and worn down, as if so much more had happened in her life than the little peek we had into it. And as the end of book two drew near and I realized that Eric, her first love and her child’s father, was entering the picture again, I worried that it would be a love triangle…something I do not care for very much in stories. So, I ..read more

I enjoyed this second chance romance set in a small town ranching community. Edith and Finn reconnected early in the book and their hearts definitely led them back to each other. They were both drawn to each other, not only from their past connection as teenagers, but also in a way that wanted to move forward together. However, there were obstacles to a smooth happily ever after for them. Finn struggled to see how he fit within his family and what he should do with his life after ten years in the military. At the same time, he was falling in love with Edith. I liked seeing him find his footin ..read more

Wow! This was an amazing story that, once I started reading it, was almost impossible to set down. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I am very impressed. She captured the beauty and wonder of the trail, while also clearly showing the myriad of dangers present. I will add that this story is not for the faint of heart. It is a beautiful story, however, the author does not shy away from some tragic and realistic moments. I love marriage of convenience stories and this one was beautifully done. I loved the way these two characters were drawn to each other from early on as ..read more
