For anyone looking for Twisters Fanfic, this is for you. it was like reading about Tyler and Kate, and I was living for it.
I only wish it had been longer, so we could have had more build up of tension between Ryker and Finley. The secondary characters were glorious, though. I LOVED Joey 🤗

Quiet Liberian Faye has been rushing on Detective Chase for years, and never had any idea that he had noticed her too but given the circumstances he was in at the time he couldn't do anything about it. Now things have changed, and Chase has realised that if you can grab a hold of something pure and good in your life, then you should do it do it, because happiness like this only comes once in a lifetime.

This was another sweet read from the Colorado Mountain series, giving you a little mystery throughout and all then swoony moments in between. I loved Chase and Faye so much. She was so sweet and really did want the best for everyone, and Chase, well, he just wanted to make Faye happy 🤗❤️

I devoured this book, but I knew i was going to from the moment I read the blurb. I have been on countdown for this book since last year, and it was worth the wait.

I absolutely loved the character development of Beverly and Isaac in this book. what they had both been through personally was horrible, but to conenout on the other end and to have found eachother through such darkness was beautiful. They managed to take one of their worst experiences even and turn it into something poetic, and I lived for every moment they had together. 

I "tolerate" you both Bee and Issac, you were amazing, and I highly recommend to everyone who enjoys dark thrillers, mixed nine with the beauty of romance. another 5 star read from a Jennifer Hartmann book 🥰. You and Chelley St Clair write well together, and I can't wait for the next story in the series.

I liked Wyatt and Hannah. They were cute together and quite funny at times, a lovely small town romance.
Hannah has been living in her own little world inside her bookstore, but she wants to start being adventurous before turning 30 and living her life more....here enters Wyatt, the fun-loving surfer Rhodes brother. He offers to help out and push her to be more daring, but along the way, they get to know each other, and of course, attraction starts to grow. 
It's a nice easy read, but I felt at times that it got a little repetitive.
Still, I enjoyed it, and I think if anyone is looking for a cosy read without much angst, then this is the book for you.

Everyone had been telling me to read thisnfor ages because I would love it, and they were right. 
It's the perfect Cowboy small town romance, and Luke was GLORIOUS. Emmy has come home after a riding accident and is worried she may never feel comfortable getting in a horse again. The last person she expected to help her overcome this fear is her brothers best friend, Luke. They haven't seen eahcofher in a few years and their chemistry from chapter 1 is 🔥. This only intensifies as the book goes on, and I was living for it 
I loved the Ryder family and Emmy's best friend Teddy. They were great sider characters to a really nice cosy story. Bring on book 2 because I feel like Gus will be my favourite of the Ryder brothers.
