I loved this book, as well as all of this series. Hell.. I love all of Nyssa's books, and this one was surely not an exception!
Callie had her world shaken when her relationship with Lock ended. She lost him and then had more losses in the little time after the breakup that made her leave her small town and focus on herself. After a few years she returns, better, and opens her own yoga studio and life is good for her. If only she had him..
Lock return to his home town with one thing in mind: to win callie back. He never stoped loving her, and is willing to do all he can to hever her back. 
Of course, there is a lot of unfinished business, and she was hurt badly by him in the breakup. So he starts to gain her trust. And when she is put in danger he goes all protective to make sure she is alright. 
She has a stalker, and at first it was a bit harmless, but then things quickly excalated and the suspense was palpable! And that twist letting us know who it was? I did not see that coming!
Both main characters were so down to earth and relatable that I was rooting for them since the beggining. I could understand both points of view, and wanted them to get on the same page stat. 
I also enjoyed to read about the previous characters, mainly the brothers. That bond and brothergood and the way the author relates those connections are priceless. 
I also enjoyed Aspen's side character (and was very pleased to know she will have her story next). Who wouldn't want to have a friend like her? 
I'm sad to see these characters and this small town go. But I'm sure that Amber Ridge is going to be just as awsome!

I can't even gather my thoughts on what I just read. OMG... WHAT???
 What a rollercoaster this book has been. It was addictive. There is no way you can put it down once you start! I wanted so bad to know what happened after Stolen's cliffhanger, and ohh, boy, I did! 
Just as in Saved both Dante and Rachel infuriated me but at the same time I just loved them. Their likeness, their love for one another, their banter, their arguments and intimate times. I loved all of it. I was flying through the pages to absorb all this book all at once. I just couldn't put it down. It made me feel so many things. And feel them intensely. The only thing missing between them and in their relationship is trust. They need to trust each other more! I hope the next book shows us that next step in their relationship. 
After being betrayed by one of their own, things get complicated and they are in danger and at war. 
And not all of them get away unnharmed, and its sad to see characters we love getting hurt. 
I think my heart just broke a little at so many parts of the book, but the middle of the story, after the attack. I was crying. Crying people!! And this is a dark romance! 
I wanted them to burn it all for justice and some peace. And it seemed that after that, so many, many things happened. 
I never, and I MEAN NEVER would have guessed the turn out where we were headed, and some things just left me with my mouth open and gasping. I did not see several things coming!
And I can say, that towards the end I wanted to slap them both, but Dante.?. What was he thinking??? After that I can understand the ending, but I'm dying to see the next chapters in their lifes. I need book 3 ASAP please!!

As usual Abby brings us a super sweet book, with very good and relatable characters, that you end up wishing tou could meet IRL.
This story was a sweet sports romance where both main characters got to know each other and the more they ended up finding about the other the more they liked. 
Susie is a romance novelist that lives in a small town (that has a gossip journal) and has a little bit of writers block. She tries everything but nothing is helping. 
Adam is an NFL player thar is sold to a diffewnt team, and is very upset about it. Until... he meets Susie (and his new tem also).
They are instantly attracted to each other but they can't  pursue their interest because she is one of his team mates little sister. And they hold on to this resolution until they discover a secret that changes ecerything and then end up married. At first as friends they get in an marriage of convenience to help Adam, but several lines stat to blur and what was once fake begins to feel a lot like real. 
I really liked thia story and I hope to return to this small town and world soon.

I've been wanting to read Rina's story for a while, since the previous books. I loved her no bullsh*t attittude and how much power just by her hard work and respect she earned in a men's world. She was sassy, demanding, driven but at the same time wanted what all women want: to be cherished, pampered, taken cared of, protected and loved. She just believed no one would be that man. Even Keelan, since he was one of the people who made her second choice. So why would it be different now? 
Keelan was a happy and carefree man, with a positive attittude and who loves to have fun. In theory he is rhe complete opposite of Rina, but well... the complete each other. 
So when her divorce is known, and things get kind of crazy, Keelan begins to step up and makes her wonder. What if? Could they make it? can she trust her secrets with him? 

I really enjoy this book and all the series, and I'm sad to see it end. 

This book broke my heart at first, and then it slowly healed it piece by piece. 
Rory and Garret were each other first and only love. They had love, a family and all they could ask for. Then tragedy happened and we saw them fall appart. Rory couldn't get past her grief and depression and pushed him away. 
We could feel everything Rory was feeling through all the words the author gives us. She was in a bad place and could not believe he was better with her.
They ended and several years passed, but even appart they loved one another. 
One day, he comes back to his home town and finds her again. All the feelings were alive as before, so slowly he started getting closer to her once again. But things weren't easy. Even if lighter there would always be grief. Could they mend what was broken? Or would all the bad feelings resurface and keep them away again?
It was heartwarming seeing all the love they had for each other and how, mainly him, wanted to take care of her in all the ways possible. 
As they start to reunite some danger happens and what then? Will they be ok? 
I really enjoyed both main characters but the side ones played also a huge part in making me love this book. I can't wait for Sutton's turn!

I'm starting to realise that I love reading everything Marion writes. She nails the mark on every book, every single time. 
I trully loved this story, it's cozy vibe, and those characters... I binged it in a few hours, and at the end kept wanting to know more!
In this story we follow Ivy, that decides to go on her 'aloneymoon' after being left the day before her wedding. She had the time and an all expenses paid vacation, so she could not let it go to waste. At first she thought a million times to go back and leave that beautiful and filled with snow small town. But them she met Zane. He was filling for his brother at giving Ski lessons, but after some time together she started seeing beyond his tough cookie walls, and he realised he was not all that anti-social after all. He just nedded the right person to come along. 
They share several 'non-dates', are overwelmed with puppy love, and fall head over heels for each other. But how can they admit it when they live so many miles appart? It is doomed from the start! Or is it not?

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? 
Ohh boy, that's so not true when you come home married after too many drinks and can't remember a thing about that night. 
Hannah wakes up finding herself married to the one man she now can't stand (due to their previous past), and as soon as she realises what happened she wants an annulement. He doesn't. 
He spent the last couple of years wanting her, and now that he has her, even through a mistake, he doesn't want to let her go. So he compromises with giving their marriage 3 months to try and make her fall in love with him. She agrees to just shut him up at the time and starts to try to make him miserable. But she just fails, and fails big time. 
He was a true sweetheart. He really cared for her, and made sure to give her and provide for her in every way. He just wanted to make sure she was safe and cared and happy, and it trully showed in all his actions. 
I do love the nickname he gives her (Spitfire). It truly was the perfect thing to describe her and her sassyness.
He kind of shows her his true self and how much she means to him and little by little all her walls start to crumble with his TLC.
What will she choose whem the time they have established passes? Can she go back to the way things were before?
I also loved the found family vibe, with both previous characters and then the new ones. It was heartwarming to see them belong so well in the heart of true family and friends. 
I have to be honest.. the miscommunication thing is not my cup of tea in any story, but I'm into giving it a try if the rest of the tropes and story call to me. This one had a big issue between main characters that changes all their perception and made them the way they were at the begining. I get were why it was there, but I can't seem to like it either way. But.... besides that, I really liked the book and story, and I had a enjoyable time reading this book. I'll be looking forward to the next one (Matt and Zoey, I believe)!

In this sequel we follow where Fang of The Wolf left us, with Valaria returning to her home. 
After her sworn alliance to the Jarlsorns she must now prove herself to her clan, and begin leading her path to a new leadership with both loyalty to the Varsung And the Jarlsrorn. But, she is taken by surprise, both by her father and the Jarlsorn leader when they propose a twist in the plans with a combined leadership with Cullard. Does she agrees to this new way of leadership? What does it implies? Is it a business transaction only or something more? She is conflicted yet excited. She respects him but can't deep down help felling attracted to Cullard. But, at the same time some fears arise... can she trust him? Can she trust him not to follow his father blindly? 
Can they trully unite all the clans against a greater threat?

I was immersed in this story and just couldn't put the book down! That's how much I loved it! 
I was already eager after the previous one to see where the story and characters would lead us and I'm surely not disapointed. I loved all the world building, how the author described this world so realistically, the way the story unflolded and where we were leaded. 
I already liked both main characters, and that intensified here, but I also started respecting and liking more several of the side ones. I trully enjoy that found family vibe and this story has so much of it! 
As in the previous one there's a hint of romance, that grows through out the story, but that's not the main focus. It's like a little seasoning that adds to the story and helps cement what we already liked, and I'm glad it was there!

I can't wait to read the next one! I have so many questions.. 

This story is a good way to get cozy in the fall and get lost in autumm vibes. 
We have Chloe and Dawson who meet accidentally in her fitness class. They believed they would never see each other again, but fate got them in a twist and hey... he is her brother's new employee and they are statting to organize a festival together. No problem, right? After all there's no attraction envolved. And they don't get along, and they don't start falling for each other.. yehh, just not!
Chloe is an independent woman, with a very guarded heart due to some trauma from her past. She believes she has to be perfect in order for other people to like her and don't leave her. 
At first her attitude was kind of off for me, but I grew to understand her and even like her. 
On the other end, I loved Dawson, a single dad, trying his best to do his job, raise and have quality time with his son, and at the same time falling in love and never knowing how to jugle it all. He was super sweet, and understanding and such a gentleman. I really liked his character. 
Finn, his son, had also a major roll in the book and was a very good addition to the story. 
Some side characters, like kate and Carter gave a little tease of what could be a good story altogueder (a best friend's brother and coworkers) but, that's just a thought.

If you're looking for a sweet and Hallamark kind of vibe this one is it for you. It has all the feelings and it sure is a binge read all the way. I really enjoyed it!
Kate moves into her best friend's small town to take over at the local Library and immediatly is overwelmed at the hospitality and sense of belonging this small town and it's people have to offer. She is a shy woman, and making friends and meeting new people never was easy but they all make it so much enjoyable that she almost doesn't believe this to be real. She starts her new job and is thriving. 
One of the new aquaintances is Sheriff Tim. He is a confident but sweet man, with a good sense of humor and that has his eyes on the new lady on town ever since she arrives. They start courting each other and he respects her shyness and her boundaries but doen't give up on his interest. 
Simple, sweet and spot on!
