She thinks he’s up to no good. He’s desperate to catch her eye. When they’re paired up for a snowy getaway, can they ring in happily ever after?

Brianna Treadway is thrilled to be her older sister’s maid of honor. Except she has no date for the couple-centered ski vacation that’s doubling as a weeklong wedding planning session. And when her sibling’s high school ex is invited as her designated plus-one, she suspects he’s coming along with ulterior motives to win back the bride.

Brody Knight is ready for something more. With his heart set on his best friend’s younger sister, he jumps at the offer to head to the Montana slopes and charm the girl of his dreams. But he finds getting closer to the skittish woman is an uphill-yet-intoxicating challenge.

Determined to warn her handsome companion off from ruining the engagement, Brianna is mortified after slipping up with a secret confession. And as Brody works to convince her they’re the ones meant for each other, he fears he’s setting himself up for rejection that will leave him out in the cold.

Can they get a jump on the misunderstandings before they bomb past a forever love?

My review:

Six Days & One Knight is a delightful holiday romance. Though this is the third in the series it can be read standalone just fine. Brianna and Brody will have you laughing, gritting your teeth and swooning. This story is a wonderful wintertime escape.

Irish Rebel (Brooklyn Kings #7) by L.K. Shaw

 

 

Blurb:

Caitlín

After finally convincing my over-protective family to let me visit my uncle in Dublin, I know this may be my only chance to experience everything I’ve always wanted: Adventure. Excitement. Freedom.

Until I’m introduced to the man assigned to be my bodyguard. With his silver-flecked hair and wicked scar, Roarke radiates power and danger. Everything I’m drawn to. Except, he’s also the one standing in my way. I push all of his buttons, until one night I push too far.


Roarke

They call me a killer. And with each death I cause, my soul turns a little blacker. As an enforcer for the Irish mafia, I’ve always done what’s been asked of me. Including becoming the reluctant bodyguard for a woman who shines so bright, I’m afraid of tainting her with my darkness.

Caitlín tests my patience at every turn, determined to make my life hell. Even worse, she tempts me with her smart mouth and lush curves. In a moment of madness, I forget she’s off-limits and cross a line I can never come back from.

Now I’m torn between loyalty to the family I owe everything to—including my life—and the woman who just might be my salvation.

 

My review:

Caitlín was raised in an Irish crime family and is very used to dangerous men. Upon meeting Roarke she knew he was dangerous but it only added to his allure. This is a sultry grumpy/sunshine romp that will keep you rooting for love. A fantastic addition to the series.

The Path to You (The Wilder Brothers #3) by Carrie Ann Ryan

 

 

Blurb:

The Wilder Brothers from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan continues with a second chance romance that brings Everett Wilder to his knees.

The moment I saw Bethany Cole, I knew she was not only out of my league, but in a whole different world.

Only I didn’t realize I’d met her before.

An explosion stole part of my past, including the first time I’d seen her pretty face.

Now she’s an A-list celebrity.

And I’m just a Wilder.

But when her boyfriend cheats on her, Bethany needs a safe place to hide from the paparazzi.

The Wilder’s Retreat seems like the perfect escape.

Only every time we see each other it’s hard to remember we come from two different worlds.

And that the danger that follows her is only the beginning.

 

My review:

This book could have been so cheesy but instead it was heart wrenching and heart warming. The author treats the subject of TBI with compassion and intelligence. I really liked Bethany she is strong, smart and sweet. This is a terrific addition to the Wilder saga.

My review:

Unexpected baby. Wolf shifting cowboy. Witches. This book features my favorite Kelmount. Logan is the youngest son and it shows in his sense of humor. When Kourtney shows up with his daughter asking for protection Logan gets serious and quick. This is a quick tale of love and intolerance. I loved it.

Meet the Mistresses of Thomas Rose Associates. An intimate circle of women who embrace the challenge of domination—inside the bedroom and the board room. 

 

My review:

Incredible! The author is a sensualist who brings all your senses into each story and none more so than this one. Skye is intelligent and intuitive and mute. She has learned to deal with the way her difference sets her apart. When an explosion takes Tiger’s hearing Skye helps him deal and it changes their relationship.

This story broke my heart and rebuilt it. I was immersed in Skye and Tigers journey and can’t recommend this story enough.
