Two wounded hearts. Two people who’d given up on love. And a chance meeting that brought them together.

When we met during a storm, I was struck by her bravery.

Afterwards, when Melissa told me who she was, I could tell she was expecting me to judge her.

But how could I when I knew all too well the pain she’d gone through, and how it could make you think of doing things you’d otherwise never consider?

On top of that, I just liked her. That’s why I gave her my number. And that’s why, when she calls me from the other side of the country, hurt and in trouble, I don’t think twice about going to help her.

I wasn’t sure I deserved his help. But I asked for it anyway.

After a violent attack, I didn’t know where else to turn. Not to my parents, who’d I’d already put through enough. Not to the so-called friends who turned their backs on me.

When I called Tyler, I half expected him to refuse me. But he didn’t. Instead, he dropped everything to come to my side.

I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised that the wounded warrior I met during a storm would insist on protecting me. Instead, the surprise was falling in love with him.

Protected from Torment is the story of two wounded people who gave up on love, only to find it again when they least expect it. It features a wounded warrior hero and a heroine searching for redemption, a team of Army veterans, found family, forced proximity, thrilling twists, and a guaranteed HEA. Can be read as a standalone.

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

A chance meeting brings Melissa and Tyler together when they both stop to help people involved in an accident during a storm. I loved when Melissa nicknamed Tyler “the handsome, bossy, good Samaritan”. As they wait out the storm at a hotel, Tyler and Melissa have a chance to get to know each other. When Tyler learns who Melissa really is, she expects him to run for the hills. Instead, she is surprised when he not only stays but doesn’t judge her for her past.

When Melissa finds herself in danger after an attack she calls Tyler. Tyler doesn’t hesitate and comes running to help her. I absolutely love that, despite Melissa’s past, the guys of Blade and Arrow and their women never hold it against her. They do whatever it takes to protect her and make sure she knows they want her there.

Both Melissa and Tyler have trauma they are working through and neither believes they could ever be loved. I enjoyed the watching these two help each other face their past and find their way toward each other.  Absolutely loved Tayer’s protectiveness over Melissa.  Seeing him defend her when a teammate questioned her was heartwarming.

I have to say the twists and turns in this story kept me fully invested and needing to know what was going to happen next. I also loved the ending of this story although it is hard to see a series end this was a great one.

 

A couple of my favorite quotes:

“I know what my teammates-and also my best friends – would say. They’d tell me to follow my gut. That if I’m feeling something for Melissa, I should be open to it.”  ~Tyler

“I love seeing you in my clothes,” he said, with a proprietary gleam in his eyes. “Anything you want to wear of mine, it’s yours.” ~Tyler.

These audio books are pulling me in and I cannot put this series down. Kat Maxwell did an amazing job these MC men and their women are so addicting.

Amelia was with Roger who was the provider and expected Amelia to know what he wanted when he wanted it. If she didn’t live up to his unsaid expectations, he would beat his expectations into her even tossed her downstairs. Amelia finds herself in the hospital almost losing her babies. When the cavalry arrived to help her get away from Roger.

Cass was sent to retrieve Amelia as a part of an underground railroad system to help women out of bad and deadly situations. Cass finds he is drawn to this beautiful pregnant woman. He wants nothing more than to provide his Lil’ Mama and her babies. Will Lil Mama decide to stay with the MC or will she continue her journey to gain freedom from violence for her and her babies. Amelia meets Cass sister Christy who has demons of her own. I enjoyed seeing this relationship grow as much as I did the one with Lil’ Mama and Cass.

Cass and Lil’ Mama’s relationship is slow but so good. But Cass has to show Lil’ Mama he is capable of a long-term relationship and can be a good dad to her babies. This series is turning into a favorite. Red and Roadkill was good and I enjoyed Cass and Lil’ Mama but next up is Hack. Oh man he captured my attention and do believe he will be my new BBF.

Michael Prince and Wrin McCabe are new to me authors and after listening to roadkill I will definitely be diving into more of this series. Tanner DeBruyne did a wonderful job of keeping me engaged in the story.

Josh Luke AKA red is on his way back home to help his mama out after the death of his father. he decided to take the deserted road and good thing for Nova he did. She was left in a ditch to die. Red was able to fix her up and in the process found he only wanted to protect her more.

Review by: Twinsie Melinda

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Parker Stillwater and Laiken had a secret romance when Parker would come to visit the ranch each summer. Everything changed when Parker left to chase his dream of becoming a champion bull rider, leaving Laiken with a broken heart. After making one poor decision one night, Laiken gains her biggest blessing her son, Trace.

When Parker is injured after a bull riding incident he comes back to the one place that has always felt like home and makes it so Laiken is his personal Physical therapist. Laiken is determined not to let him back into her heart. Parker, on the other hand, is determined to prove that Laiken has always been the only woman he has ever loved and the only one he ever will.

Trace absolutely stole my heart. He is such a little firecracker who wants nothing more than to be just like Parker and the other cowboys on the ranch. I was laughing so hard when he thought he was sneaky because the guys let him get away with cussing when on the ranch and away from his momma. Then there was the whole “don’t tell them I got sick or they’ll take away my man card” moment that had me cracking up.

I loved watching Parker work to earn Laiken’s trust again and Laiken try to deny her feelings. Their chemistry never disappeared, but seeing him prove through his actions that he was all in made their second chance even sweeter. The ranch family was there every step of the way, reminding me why I love this series so much.

This story had me flying through the pages because I just had to know what was going to happen next. Every time I thought I had it figured out, S.J. Chaynie threw in another twist that I never saw coming.

I have loved every book in this series, and Every Single Second is another great story. These cowboys have completely stolen my heart, and now I am counting down the days until Ryder gets his story.

S.J. Chaynie is a small-town Texas girl who has found a love for writing. She enjoys writing romance, with a sprinkle of suspense, and a little humor. If she is not busy writing her newest ideas, she is spending time with her husband and two beautiful daughters. She believes a good book and a lot of laughs is the best medicine. She brings suspense, love, angst, and sometimes the occasional heartbreak to her stories. Always a HEA, but every character and story she holds close to her heart and hopes they touch yours as well.

New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott returns with a hot new rockstar romance:

Nash Porter is a rockstar who wants out. He’s had enough of nonstop grinding tours and the pressure of success and fame. It’s time for a taste of normalcy. And his retired housekeeper’s home in a charming small town, is the last place anyone would think to look for him.

Having been dumped and evicted by her idiot ex, June Calloway is ready for a change of scenery. When her grandmother suggests June visit, she jumps at the chance. What could be better than quiet time in a quaint picturesque town to restart her life and take her mind off her woes? What she doesn’t anticipate is that a rockstar-in-hiding will be her new roommate—and she’ll have to help keep him away from the media and adoring fans.

Concealing a platinum-selling, award-winning musician’s true identity isn’t going to be easy, but June has some ideas. It starts with a shave and haircut, and ends with June claiming Nash is her very ordinary, not the slightest-bit-famous, ex who has come to woo her back. Surely nothing can go wrong.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

After a bad breakup, June heads to her grandma’s house to regroup. While she is there one night she finds the finest man she’s ever seen sleeping on the front porch. Only to realize that the man is Nash, a famous country singer who’s desperate to escape the spotlight and experience life as a normal person in a small town. Once he cuts his hair and shaves his beard, he blends in surprisingly well and is able to play the part of an ordinary stranger.

To keep Nash’s identity a secret, June tells the town that he’s actually the ex-boyfriend who broke her heart and kicked her out. Nash doesn’t just go along with the lie but he completely runs with it by adding his own lies to it. Of course, things get complicated when the town discovers who Nash really is and realizes they’ve both been lying all along.

One of my favorite parts of this book was the banter between June and Nash. Their chemistry was so real, their conversations were funny, and they kept me smiling throughout the story. I also loved how Nash completely threw himself into becoming one of the townspeople. Whether he was at the morning yoga meditations, being with the local jogging group, or attending the People Against Book Bans group, he embraced small-town life with everything he has. It made his character even more lovable and added humor to the story.

I also adored the supporting characters. June’s grandma, Audrey, completely stole the show, and seeing Charlie and Audrey together was great. Their side story was just as enjoyable as the romance. Even though Audrey and Nash’s twin brother kept warning June and Nash that their relationship could never work, the two of them were determined to ignore everyone and follow their hearts.

I enjoyed this story and to be honest I would love to know more about Nash’s twin Brother.  I secretly hope there will be another book.

Every Single Vow is a small town, childhood friends to lovers, marriage of convenience, cowboy romance.

I was ten years old when I met Cooper Mayson. Thirteen when he threw his first punch for me. Eighteen when my world crumbled beneath my feet and he promised he’d always take care of me. He was my constant. But with a last name like Sterling, and the tarnished reputation that came along with it, I’ve always kept him at arm’s length. He was the golden boy with a loving family, and a ranch with a polished legacy. I was the girl with an absent mother, a father in prison, and a destination for nowhere. But now I was staring at a stranger. One that looked just like me. A little sister I knew nothing about. A child who had nowhere to go. I couldn’t let her be another face lost in the system. But no judge in this town would give a child to me with my last name. It was hopeless. Until my best friend made me an offer. To give me his. Sounds simple enough. A temporary marriage so I can gain fully custody, then have an amicable divorce. Problem is, I’ve been in love with my best friend since I was ten years old. And after only two weeks of being a Mayson, I realize, this marriage might not be as fake as I thought. Behind closed doors the act doesn’t end. Every kiss pulls me deeper; every whisper heals my heart. It almost makes me believe I’m good enough for him. But if there’s once soul in this world that I refuse to taint, it’s Cooper Mayson’s.

Every Single Vow is book two of the Every Single Series. It can be read as a standalone. No cheating and a guaranteed HEA.

I was so ready for Cooper and Dakota’s story. I love seeing how a relationship starts and grows and wow did this one yank at my heart. Cooper was so patient, caring and protective when it came to Dakota from their first meeting at 10 years old to now.

Dakota had a tough life her mom left her with her dad that was not fit to be a dad. The things he put her through had my heart breaking. The day Cooper saw Dakota in the gas station and showed her kindness started to heal my broken heart. Knowing her dad is in prison and cannot hurt her anymore put my mind at ease.

Cooper has always been there to protect her. When a surprise little sister shows up on Dakota’s doorstep he sees his opportunity to make Dakota his. Now he just has to convince her it is just not pretend for him but has always been real.

I adore Dakota and Cooper they have been friends since they were little. We get to see them grow up and what they all been have been through. I loved seeing everything that Cooper did for Dakota. The secret that comes out is something I would have never expected that but heck yeah, I get it and I’m all for it. I’d be on the Mayson family team any day protecting their family and friends.

I absolutely loved Dakota and Cooper and getting their story. With the ending of this one I really want to know more about Laiken and Parker. Really what is going on there and why is Laiken so furious with Parker. I’m telling you I have a feeling this one is going to be one heck of a long 8 second ride with these two.

A few of my favorite quotes (ok maybe quite a few):

“I hate you sometimes,” I hiss as I push at his chest. He chuckles. “Lies. You love me.” More than anything.

“I hate you sometimes,” I hiss as I push at his chest. He chuckles. “Lies. You love me.” More than anything. “Dream on,” I scoff.

“It must be exhausting,” his voice is almost a whisper, his lips moving slow and steady. The bluest eyes I’ve seen to this day roam over my face, pausing to meet my gaze before he inches closer. His hard chest presses against mine, before he glides his thumb down the column of my throat. “Walking around every single day pretending you don’t love me just as much as I love you.”

“I love you, Kota. You’re my person. The first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think of when I go to bed. I’ve loved you for over half of my life and we both know what this is.”

Dakota wasn’t going to like what I had planned for her, but if she gave me any lip, I’d just kiss her until she agreed. End of story.

“You’ve always been my hero, Coop.” “And you’ve always been my queen of chaos.”

Every Single Wildflower is a small town, ex boyfriend’s older brother, cowboy romance.

Returning home to Mayson Ridge was the last thing I had planned. But after receiving unexpected text reading
you need to come home and with no other reasonable excuse besides my own guilt, I had no other choice. I knew at some point I’d have to face my family, and being back in Mayson Ridge meant I’d unfortunately end up facing the man who shattered my heart before I left for good. I thought I’d see him in passing, a simple glance from across a crowded room. What I didn’t expect was to find Maddox Sheppard working on my family ranch. Just like I didn’t expect to be forced into teaming up with him to save what’s left of the Mayson Ranch legacy. But old feelings still linger, the heartbreak fresh, and so many unspoken words between me and the rugged cowboy who secretly owns my heart. I’d have given it to him years ago…but he, along with the rest of this town thought it belonged to someone else.
To his brother.

Review by Twinsie Melinda

I received a copy of the book from the author for an honest review.

I have enjoyed every story I have read of S.J. Chaynie. She has a wonderful writing style and the story flows so well. This was an amazing story that I had a hard time putting down. I loved Ivy and Maddox from the beginning…but Brady not so much he needed to grow up and was not ready for a relationship in the beginning.

Ivy ran from everyone she loved when things fell apart and has not been back since. When she gets a text from her brother telling her they needed her back home she dropped everything and went home. Upon returning home she realized things were not going great for the family ranch. She was hoping not to run into Maddox Sheppard but fate would have none of that. Seems he works and lives on the ranch. When she first seems him after all these years, she found herself literally falling on her butt in font of him in all her glory. Maddox has had a thing tor Ivy for a long time but she is off limits because she is or was her brother’s girl. When they were younger Maddox was forever helping Ivy when she needed it because Brady dropped the ball with broken promises. Now he finds himself sharing his cabin with Ivy while she is home dealing with everything that happened to their ranch and home. It is a struggle to keep the distance between them.

I would love to visit Ivy’s special place the wildflower field it seemed so nice, quiet and a beautiful place to forget everything. Ivy and Maddox are perfect for each other but struggled because Ivy is Brady’s ex. I enjoyed getting to know all the characters in this book. They all have something going on in their lives that I want to know more about all of them. Brady was an ass for how he treated Ivy but he knows he screwed up. He deserves a HEA with a woman that will keep him in line. I hope that someday we get to meet that woman.

I need to know what happed to and is going on with Ryder. I am excited that it sounds like Cooper and Dakota will be the next book and I cannot wait to see their story.

A few of my favorites:

I want to die. Crawl inside a hole with some rabid coyote family and let them rip me to pieces so I don’t have to live through this mortification. ~Ivy

I try not to but failed miserably when my gaze involuntarily cast down her wrist and I’d be lying if I said something didn’t hit me square in the chest when I saw this simple wildflower tattoo. ~Maddox

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

I adored this book. I enjoyed seeing the Scottish brothers again. This is the perfect mix of small-town community, family, struggle, love, and humor.

Chloe is trying to start over as a single mom and town baker. She worked hard to make it the city but when she realized her daughter is more important than her big city job she decides to do something about it. When Chloe gets a break as the new baker in town but with the help of Honeybun she does a smash up job. Chloe cannot get a break and feel she is failing her daughter.

Malcom portrays the stoic banker. When he tries to embarrass his brother on his birthday the table is turned and it is he that ends up with cake in his face when he has a run in with the new baker.

The chemistry between these two is electric. Neither wants to admit it. It takes time to sift things out and for them to get to know each other. My heart flutters when I see the things Malcom does for Chloe and Hailey. The interactions between him and Hailey and Honeybun for that matter made my heart do flips for him. I so enjoyed seeing Malcom’s Gram and Da again. Grams puns are so cute and I love seeing them pop up here and there.  To see the brothers have their teasing and playful moments was touching. I love how close the entire family is. Mess with one you mess with all.

The times Chloe and Malcom are together are special and heartwarming although a few bumps in the road they are there for each other and the family. I love the little things Malcom does for Chloe and Hailey. I have to say Honeybun stole my heart. I cannot wait to read more of this series all these brothers need to find their other half.

When Avery visits the small town of Crested Butte, she only has a short time to decide if she will put roots here as their new librarian or return home. As charmed as she is by the mountain town and the kind people there, it’s a chance encounter with a kitten and a handsome fireman that really make an impression on her heart.

The Macallan family is a pillar of the Crested Butte community, but they’ve got a reputation for being eternally single. Lance is no stranger to relationships. As the youngest Macallan and a fireman, he’s an extremely eligible bachelor in the small town. But no woman has ever made him want to settle down.

I received a copy of this book from the Author for an honest review.

I love Red’s stories and reading the adventures her characters go on. I was so ready for a new adventure and she did not disappoint. I have fallen in love with the Macallan Brothers and honestly cannot wait to read all their stories. I cannot wait to see all these Brothers fall and fall hard.

This is Avery and Lance’s story the librarian and the HOT fire fighter. Avery lost her job as a librarian due to cutbacks and decides to leave her family to see what small town living is like. Avery has to face her fears in this small town of Crested Butte but meeting Lance helps this a little. Lance also has things in his past that he is trying to overcome. I loved watching these two mesh together and help on another to overcome their fears. This book is filled with the most wonderful love story. Really with fairs, games, flowers, kittens, flying, family and seeing if fears can be overcome you cannot go wrong with this book.

I not only fell in love with Avery and Lance but I adore his grandmother and his dad. The kitten even stole some of my heart and I am not a cat person. I am so invested in this story that I need to know more about the Macallan family not just one of them but all of the brothers and even their dad and grandma. This was the best start to a new series and I cannot wait to see what wonderful adventures Red has in store for us with this story.

I learned the hard way that relationships aren’t worth the trouble.

That was a hard lesson I learned after winding up pregnant and alone at nineteen. Facing an uncertain future, I dropped out of college and moved home to take care of my baby.

Ten years later, I wouldn’t change a thing. My ex might be a deadbeat, but I have my daughter. I have a job I enjoy. I have well-meaning friends who try to fix me up, insisting they know “just the right guy” this time.

But I don’t want a relationship. I don’t need one. At least I didn’t think so until Ronan. He’s different. He likes me and my daughter. He puts cracks in the walls I’ve erected around my heart. And when I’m in danger, he’s the one I trust to protect me.

Falling for a single mom and her daughter was the last thing I expected.

But there’s just something about Angel that calls to me. She’s beautiful. Kind. Funny. And when I’m with Angel and her daughter, the dreams I gave up on years ago don’t seem so unreachable anymore.

Still, I’m hesitant. For all the danger I faced fearlessly on the battlefield, I’m scared of being hurt by a woman again.

Then someone tries to hurt Angel. My Angel. Determined to protect her, I’ll use everything I learned in the Special Forces, along with the help from my teammates at Green Mountain Guardians, to make sure no one ever hurts her again.

Mountain Champion is a steamy romantic suspense set in small town Vermont featuring a former Delta Force operator, a single mom with a spunky daughter, a security team of Special Ops veterans, found family, forced proximity, edge-of-your-seat twists, and a guaranteed HEA. Can be read as a standalone.

Review by Twinsie Melinda

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Gia Cobie has a way of telling small town stories that completely pulled me in. Hazel was putting her matchmaking magic skills to work by trying to get Ronan and Angel a single mom together, in my opinion Hazel got this one so right.

Ronan may claim he does not want a relationship, but you cannot tell this by his actions.  Ronan stole my heart when he built the small ski slope in Angel’s yard for Haley. Then he keeps going back to check on them. Ronan is only fooling himself because it is obvious just how much he cares about Angel and Haley by the things he does for them.

Watching the relationships grow between Ronan, Angel, and Haley is one of my favorite parts. I loved seeing Ronan and Angel slowly open up to each, but it was the things Ronan did for Haley made me fall in love with him even more. Every interaction between them felt genuine and sweet in the best way. Ronan was protective, caring, and impossible not to love. Angel and Haley made the perfect addition to his life even if he fought it every step of the way.

I love Gia Cobie stories mostly because you do not have to read the series in order to follow the stories. They are stand alone they can be read in order or not. I personally started with book 3 in this series but I will be going back to read book 1 and 2.

Gia Cobie is an award-winning and Amazon best-selling author living in upstate New York with her husband and pets.
