A Wilder Wedding by Carrie Ann Ryan is a sweet read with a twist I didn't see coming. Naomi is the Innkeeper of the Wilder Retreat and Amos looks after the grapes and helps with the wine in the Winery on the Retreat. They have an on again, off again, on again relationship. Naomi thinks Amos can't commit due to his past relationship and Amos doesn't want to force Naomi to do something she doesn't want to do. A scare makes them reevaluate their relationship and realize they are meant to be together. Can't wait for the next book!

 Moments for You is the 7th book in the Wilder Brothers Series. Aurora Lee, widow, pastry chef, that was grieving and due to a viral post decides to give a stranger her wedding dress and meets Ridge Wilder, partner, brother and cousin working security at Wilder Retreat with a secret he hasn’t told anyone about.

Last First Kiss is the 5th book in the Montgomery Ink Legacy Series by Carrie Ann Ryan and OH MY! Right from the first page to the last I was hooked. Daisy Montgomery Knight and Hugh Hendrix met at a their friends wedding. It's customary for those that catch the bouquet and garter to dance...Daisy caught the bouquet and Hugh caught the garter. During the dance you could almost see the sparks between them ignite. It was supposed to be for just one night. What a surprise Daisy got when she went into work and discovered that Hugh was now working at Montgomery Security. Daisy is such a strong, confident woman and Hugh is a loving, single father looking after his 5 year old daughter, Lucy. When evil presents itself, you see the strength and determination come out in Daisy and Hugh finally acknowledges his feelings for her. It is wonderful story and I can't wait for the next book!

 This is a great novella! Jennifer and Gus work together at Montgomery Security. After a difficult day at work they come together and boy is it hot!!! They tell each other it’s a onetime encounter and that they’ll remain friends but it doesn’t work out that way. They discover that they mean more to each other than they realize and it takes an unexpected incident to make them acknowledge that! Loved how protective Gus is with Jennifer even though she’s a tough as nails woman with a soft side. Can’t wait to read the next book.
