UNSTOPPABLE by Melody Grace, A++++++++++++++++++++++++


UNSTOPPABLE by Melody Grace

CONTAINS SPOILERS>>>>>

I have read several of Grace’s works and have never been disappointed, this book was no exception. I was immediately drawn to the wounded Tegan Callahan, something about her called to me, perhaps it is because of her deep sense of loss and her even deeper sense of guilt. As the books progresses we find out that this lovely young woman lost the love of her life due to her ion. In trying to keep from killing herself as she tried to numb the pain, she goes to a rehab to help her find her way back from deep darkness. This is where super steamy Ryland James comes in, somewhat like a knight in shining armor he sets his sights on Tegan and slowly works his way into her heart and into her life.

I won’t tell you any more, except you will fall in love with the loyal Ryland, who despite demons of his own helps Tegan find happiness and she helps him find his.

The book has angst, regret and redemption for both of them and well worth the read. 

Another best seller for Melody Grace...




He's smokin' hot.

Worth the Fall by Claudia Conner, worth the tears.

 


I don't cry.

I mean I cry at funerals and perhaps a spare happy tear drops at a wedding, but for the most part my big brown eyes remain dry. Something happened to me as I read Worth the Fall, I became totally engaged in the book and could not wait to turn the page. I wanted to see this smokin' hot Navy SEAL Matt McKinney fall for the lonely and lovely Abby.

Several obstacles stood in the way of my happiness. First, he was totally hot, seemingly a player, and oh yea, he was a SEAL between deployments. She was recently widowed with four small children and expecting a fifth. I knew they would get their HEA at some point, but I could not imaging this wonderful man growing to love her and her children so quickly.

Their story was tender, sweet and filled me with many emotions, and not to give away too many spoilers, I was actually crying over the last few chapters. I found myself being angry at this man who promised to love her and never leave her, but leaves her, albiet with his family nearby, with a newborn baby (does he not understand hormones???)He knew she had a horrid childhood and spent her whole life feeling unworthy, and in the end he leaves.

I wanted her to pack up the whole damn family and move, sending him a clear signal that she was not going to come in second to anyone else again, but she is so grief stricken she can barely function, which of course made me curse Matt McKinney's name a few times. She does not leave, and he does come back, but not without some serious fallout with her, his family and the children, which were recovering from the loss of one dad already.

This was not a book with humorous situations, or an erotic fantasy, this book really has some guts to it and will hit you in yours.

Hot SEAL+Women in danger=home run for Tawny Weber


Woman in danger and a hot SEAL make for a fabulous steamy read.
Lara Banks’ Navy SEAL brother is kidnapped by a drug lord. Usually this would be a problem, but she has been estranged from him for years, so when tall, dark and hunky SEAL Dominic Castillo shows up to inform her that he is going to protect her, she balks. She has absolutely no interest in her brother, his kidnapping or having anything interfere with her life. The only thing she does have interest in is Dominic.

Let the fun begin.

Tawny has an amazing way of crafting a story that is believable, romantic and engaging. This was not my first Tawny read, and won’t be my last.

Getting Dirty, Erin Nicholas. You'll be looking for small town real estate....and a farmer....


What do you get when you combine (full pun intended) a smokin’ hot farmer boy in a plaid shirt and jeans and a sexy city girl in a mini skirt and stilettos?  A sweet romance that will keep you turning the page.

Lauren Davis, who admits to being attracted to both men and women, but prefers men, has finally met her match in Sapphire Falls, a small rural community, complete with wrap around porches, parties on the river and neighbors that know everything about everyone. And this city girl is hooked. So much so, she asks hot and steamy Travis Bennett to help her learn how to “un-love” this idyllic town, and to remind her why she needs a Starbucks on every corner.

Travis is attracted to Lauren, until she opens her mouth. Then he wants to do everything he can to show her what a true hick town she is visiting. He takes her to a variety of “small town” happenings to put her in her place, but surprisingly, Lauren just finds more reasons to love Sapphire Falls, including the hot farmer boy.

If you have read Nicholas before then you know you’re in for a fabulous complicated romance that is really not so complicated, steamy sex scenes, most with food and tons of humor.
You will not be disappointed. Each book I the Sapphire Falls series may be read as a stand alone, but characters are introduced in each book that may have a subsequent book of their own.
