An easy escape read, as Ms. Madisons two worlds collide again, the city girl and cowboy take us on a ride. Two large families, many generations make up this story, while Zara and Gabriel’s story unfolds. The banter and chemistry are on point! This book is one of my favorites in the series.

About That One Night by Kendall Hale
4.0
This is the perfect book after a heavy read. It features banter and text threads that will have you laughing, chemistry, and a fun enemies-to-lovers story. Do Max and Zoe dislike each other, or are they fighting attraction?
Zoe is our lawyer she has a plan, she is strong and sassy. Max is swoon worthy, he falls first and is a dirty talker. I adore both of them and the tension is felt immediately. What if everything does not go to plan?

What We Keep by Jennifer Millikin
5.0
This book is one you need to go in blind. If you need trigger warnings, check those, but nothing else. The story is unlike anything you have read before, and it stuck with me for days after I finished it.
Avery and Gabriel have a second chance, but we need to figure out how they got here. The book is told in 2 parts, Avery tells her side of the story in part one. Together she and Gabriel are the voices in part two. Much like real life, there are challenges, and as we unravel their story we learn their flaws, but see the love.
I loved this book and read it quite quickly. The story had me hooked, and it provided just enough information to keep me wanting more. The story stayed with me long after I read The End. It is emotional and frustrating but unique and a must-read.

The One Who Got Away by K. L. Shannon
4.0
It is no secret I love to find and read debut or baby authors. Sometimes, I find them through word of mouth or social media, but I found this author via PR. The blurb sold me, and I was not disappointed. There is an age gap, singer/songwriter, and Momma Mia vibes.
I love Hannah; she is strong and tenacious about her dreams. Rory was the one I needed to warm up to, but eventually he did. What sold me on the book was the local, the descriptions of the beaches, sunrise, and sunsets. The characters are a found family I would love to be a part of.
I plan to follow this author and see what comes next!

The Relationship Bargain by Bretta Elaine
4.0
A book that had me laughing the whole time. An easy read, fast paced, with laugh out loud moments. I would love to be friends with Cooper and Sutton or just be in their orbit. Sutton is full of sass, and her mind, wow! What she goes through to get rid of Dillon, the bad penny ex, who will not go away!
I need to go back and read the first book, and I plan to read this author as long as she keeps me smiling with her books.

Wild Eyes by Elsie Silver
4.0
Back to Rose Hills for more music, family, and a slower way of life. Skylar is a pop star headed to Rose Hills to work with Ford at his record label. Her adventure almost ends before it begins as she stops along the road to create content. West rescues her, and he gets her to Ford.
Be prepared for banter that will have you laughing, a fowl talking bird, and steamy chemistry. I enjoyed Skylars growth, realizing change had to happen. Will she find her voice? I love how she becomes an important key to West and his kids.
Wild Eyes brings all my favorite parts of an Elisie Silver book, a tug to two at my heart strings, single dad, and a fun read.

Endless Southern Love by Heidi McLaughlin
4.0
We are back in Magnolia Grove for Lemon and Wade’s story.
Wade is our single dad and the town's favorite landscaper. His life is in for some challenges as his daughter comes from Florida to live with him full time. His first challenge is the school Principal, the one who got away. However, both Lemon and Wade have different tales to tell in that story.
While not my favorite book in the series, I did enjoy Wade and Lemon’s journey to overcome their history and, with the help of Goldie, figure out a second chance. Wade is an amazing father, and the town extras do keep the spirit of Magnolia Grove alive.

Reckless Fall by Nyssa Kathryn
4.0
This is the third book in the Reckless series; so far, I have loved every book in this series. I expect a small town vibe, with a little suspense, some danger, and a lot of romance and Reckless Fall did not disappoint.
Sadie has a history in the town of Misty Peak, and was the caretaker of Avery, before her mother left. Her dad Eastern is now home and the Sheriff. Sadie returned home after a break-up and asked Eastern if she could care for Avery again.
Danger lurks and Eastern the protector steps up for Sadie. I loved how the story unfolds, and things are resolved, you will need to read for yourself to find out. We are treated with a future tease, and I am excited for the next book to come out.

Fall Me Maybe by Laney Hatcher
4.5
4.5 stars
My favorite book of the Cozy Creek series, to date. Delightful, silly, small town, family drama, rom com, all wrapped up in a easy to read romance. I love Lu and Noah, the premise of falling for the ride share driver is fun. Noah comes off as a grump, but peel back his layers and he might surprise you.

Should Have Been by Evey Lyon
4.0
We are back in Lake Spark and get ready for an emotional one. Second chances for Nash and Summer had me all over the place, and one of the bumpier roads to an HEA in a while. But SO worth it.
There are secrets, heartbreak, and sacrifices. Summer is mourning the loss of her husband and father to her son, when his brother shows up. There is a history there, and a stipulation in his brother’s will. Does forced proximity cause lines to be crossed?
This is probably the most complex and emotional book I have read by this author. I am thrilled she challenges herself with each book she writes.
