#BookReview A SEAL's Secret by Tawny Weber

Wednesday, March 25, 2020 0 Comments



Description:
Subject: Lt. Commander Mitch "Irish" Donovan

His Mission: Babysit a fitness queen with a hands-on approach!

Navy SEAL Mitch Donovan always plays to win. The push-up contest at the Halloween party should have been a piece of cake. Except that the cake in question is a hot woman dressed as a delicious dessert. Now the only exercise on Mitch's mind is restraint…

Livi Kane may be The Body Babe, but she has zero confidence. This hunky SEAL, however, makes her forget everything—except for a workout involving his hot, naked bod and a whole lot of sexy, sweaty delight. But Mitch has his secrets—and Livi certainly has hers. All it will take is one unexpected encounter to turn this steamy attraction into an even bigger secret that will start showing any day now…


My Thoughts:
Seriously, who doesn't love a SEAL? (spoken like a true girl who has friends that are and that were.) Weber manages to create action and hot sizzling romance along with devotion and so much more. The characters were wonderfully developed and there was enough going on to keep me flipping pages long past my bedtime. If you're a fan of military romance or wanting to give it a first try - this book is a must have.

Again, with this series this is the only book I've read. However, I will be looking up the others very soon.

#BookReview Slow Hand by Victoria Vane

Description

In rural Montana...
Wade Knowlton is a hardworking lawyer who's torn between his small-town Montana law practice and a struggling family ranch. He's on the brink of exhaustion from trying to save everybody and everything, when gorgeous Nicole Powell walks into his office. She's a damsel in distress and the breath of fresh air he needs.
Even the lawyers wear boots...
Nicole Powell is a sassy Southern girl who has officially sworn off cowboys after a spate of bad seeds-until her father's death sends her to Montana and into the arms of a man who seems too good to be true. Her instincts tell her to high tail it out of Montana, but she can't resist a cowboy with a slow hand...

 My Thoughts:
The pros for this book: cowboys, ranches, and Montana (have you been? It's absolutely beautiful.).
My con? Nikki. I have such a difficult time when I can't stand the heroine. In some books a whiny, stubborn, pushy, mouthy, etc female works - in others it just doesn't. For me, living in the country where men wear real cowboy hats and boots and still say "yes ma'am" and open doors for you - her attitude just didn't seem to fit. Out here, she'd have to conform or be an outsider. So, I was surprised a bit with the attraction. However, of course, it was needed for the book.,...but Nikki --I just couldn't get into her, not in the role she had to take with Wade.

Wade- what's not to love? A gentlemanly cowboy trying to do right for the family ranch. I can't fault him for falling for Nikki (although couldn't he have run into anyone else?). This book is good (not great) because WADE makes it that way.

Description


Lady Alexandra Seymour is going after her man. To make amends for a past deception, when she enlisted her connubial conquest’s aid in a scheme of hearts, she tells newly inducted Nautionnier Knight Jason Collingwood, “I will do anything.” But she ends up making his bed, instead of warming it. Still, Alex will not be discouraged, as she vows to meet and surpass his challenge, but will he meet hers? 

When Alex arrives in Plymouth, Jason tries to resist the temptation she presents, but the highborn daughter of a duke will not be denied. As his storm-battered ship is refitted, he mends the rift in his relationship with the woman of his dreams, but war gets in the way, as duty calls. When Jason returns, six months later, hoping to surprise Alex with a proposal, he’s the one in for a shock, and he fears his lady may never again hold him as the captain of her heart.

My Thoughts:
Needless to say, this was another book that kept me up almost all night. Good for the author. Not so good for me. :)

There were some plot twists that I enjoyed (pregnancy). Also the characters were well developed. I have not read the other books in this series, so it was still new and fresh for me. Alex, at first, annoyed me, but as the story progressed her character seemed to grow into one that I could tolerate :)

A definite read for any fan of Ms. Devlin.

#BookReview Rough Rider by Victoria Vane

Description

Two wary hearts …
Janice Combes has two loves, bucking bulls and Dirk Knowlton. But Dirk only has eyes for a dazzling rodeo queen. How can Janice ever compete while mired ankle-deep in manure? Exchanging playful banter with Dirk is all Janice can expect—until the stormy night he knocks on her door dripping wet and needing a place to crash.

Different Dreams…
Dirk Knowlton is living the cowboy dream. Life should be good—roping, branding, backing broncs, riding bulls, but there's a void he can't seem to fill. After getting hung up by a bull, he wonders if this is really the life he wants. Restless and rebellious, he bolts…but there’s a certain cowgirl he can’t forget.

When a battle-scarred Dirk returns to his Montana ranch he's determined to hang on at any cost. Janice has come back home to lick her own wounds. When old dreams turn to dust, can two wary hearts take another chance on love?

My Thoughts:
I have not read the first book in this series, however, this book definitely drew me in from where we start in it. We see another family ranch in this one needing to be saved (I say this because it happens to be the plot of more than several cowboy novels). The details abound in this read. And it's fast paced reading once you turn a few pages as the author draws you into the world of Dirk and Janice.
Anyone who enjoys cowboys and second chance novels will love this. A must read.

Book Review: Rescue at Cardwell Ranch & Wanted Woman by B.J. Daniels

Monday, March 14, 2016 0 Comments

*Book & Details provided by Net Galley in exchange for honest review.*

Description

Meet the Cardwell Cousins, a continuation of the Cardwell Ranch collection read by more than 2 MILLION!

The highly anticipated continuation of the Cardwell RanchCollection, read by more than 2 MILLION!

Saving her once was risky. Rescuing her again may be fatal. 

When Hayes Cardwell arrived in Big Sky, Montana, for his brother's wedding, the Texas P.I. didn't expect to play hero. But ever since he saved her from a brutal abductor, he can't get McKenzie Sheldon out of his mind and heart. 

McKenzie was drawn to Hayes from the moment she awoke and saw the tall, dark cowboy who'd saved her like some Western fantasy. But can he protect her from a danger that's much closer than they think? 

In the reader-favorite Wanted Woman, Maggie Randolph was searching for something and running from someone. But she didn't plan on meeting a man she could…trust. Except Timber Falls deputy sheriff Jesse Tanner had to catch her before it was too late

My Thoughts:

Hayes Caldwell walk right into saving a girl from a serial predator upon his arrival to Montana for his brother's wedding.

This book does not disappoint with plenty of actions, drama, and suspense. Those who have read other books, will be familiar with a number of the characters. Those, like myself, that have not, will find new characters to cling to.

The characters and plots were well developed and the book was a quick read (I read it all at once, even burned the banana bread I was baking.)

There's also a HEA that you'll love.


My Rating: ♥♥♥♥
