Not my first read by the author and I have read previous books in this series!
Sweet and Charming! I was really hopping to get a full of these two because I was so curious if we would get anything and I am glad we did. Short obviously since it’s a novella, but packed with a punch. Brianne Prescott ‘THE SISTER’ in all the boys, is hardworking, honest, loyal, sweet and beyond beautiful. Dr. Hudson is handsome, down to earth, swoony and genuine. I loved these two together, from the way Hudson swooped in to save Brianne down to their first kiss and the need for her, you feel every single emotion. Everything about this novella was beautiful.

Not my first read by the author, and I think by now everyone might know that she is one of my top 5 favorite author’s and my 2nd romance read ever back in the day many moons ago. That said I have read ALL of her books but sadly only half of the Rock-Chic (and I have not read her paranormal, not my style) that said there is a slight reason why this didn’t make it on to my TOP 2021 MUST READ list like his brother’s previous Novella. Also heads up this is a rather LONG novella which is awesome already!
This book is about the second Black brother, the younger one, the one that really doesn’t fully remember his late father, the one that really just can’t understand when he grew up that there was a life movie about HIS life about his father’s life and legacy. Jag and his brother comes from a man who was respected and loved, took his mother over 20 years to really cope with it. The heroine in this is someone he knew, well he met her while he was visiting his father’s grave and she was there burring her mother with her family. Both so young but one look and the rest if written in history, actually it was all fate as I see it because they met so young and the grief similar but different. They spend well over 10 years having a hit and miss, seeing each other at times but not really being with each other, until too many years pass and the next time Jag see’s his A was while she was chasing a kid.
The adventure really begins from there, I kind of don’t want to give you much in the book on purpose if you read my review because I truly believe that both of these are so worth diving in. I will say that reading the Chaos series whole would help a lot too. So my hang up is with Archie the heroine, it’s a 50/50 hang up because she resembles ROCK-CHICK heroine style and earlier I had said that I did not manage to get through that because I just, the heroine feel and style was not my thing, but I sure did try. That said Archie is 70& rock chick and the rest the heroine I was hoping for Jag. But here is the problem, I really couldn’t not like her because her heart was all about Jag and that melted my heart, she wanted to be there for him, to fix him, to help him heal and gosh did she give him all the love possible. It’s really heartbreaking for both of them, years later, same grief but so different. Together by fate for sure but that was the easy part, what’s after and how to ‘keep’ it is all up to them two, and this books really shows the love, passion, commitment and how deep A LOVE can go.

NEW to me author and books. I was approached by the author to read this sweet Novella!
This was a interesting read, I was not expecting what I ended up with. In a good way that is. Set in a quarantine feel, the heroine is feeling lost, and turns to her phone. You can understand that when I say that what I mean. But what she didn’t expect is for her past to be present. Was it fate that payed the part or a insanity moment for the heroine that can’t believe a second chance is right there, but will it be possible?
I really enjoyed this book, it had lot’s of laughter, fun, sweetness and romance. I even teared up at times. Glad I gave this a go and I appreciate that the author provided me with a ARC!

Not my first read, I couldn’t even tell you how many of the author books I’ve read! That said you bet I have read all the books in the series so I was SOOO ready for this! It was the sweetest read!
This may have been shorter but filled with so much emotion! I was hanging on to every page, it was sweet, romantic, swoony with full of angst. Penny & Scott are a beautiful couple, they both harvest some pain from the past but the secrets and chip on Scott’s shoulder about certain outlooks in life…during their friend’s wedding, things get a little out of control and Penny is trying to get herself around the idea of being single. That is all I am saying, this was a rather very enjoyable read and just exactly what was needed! Beautiful addition to the Series!

“Mostly, I love you, Jamie Archer.” “Jasmie Archer Hunter,”I correct. “And thank God for that,” he says.
He pulls me close and kisses me, sweet and tender, as if sealing the vow between s all over again.
-Jamie
Not my first read by the author and she is one of my firs reads along with being a top favorite author. That said, yes I have read all of the Stark books from one to lasts. This is Ryan and Jamie story, well another one hehe. And with that I will say this can not be read as a standalone since this couple is already established. It’s a fun and exciting story about a part of their life. Which by the way I love about all this, we get glimpses of their lives after the fact.
It jumps right in of course. When a past of Ryan’s re-appears it really does shake everything up. After a spontaneous trip that Jamie takes, turns into a un-forgetting adventure filled with sizzling moments, mystery, danger, past and trust. Really intense and after my Bestie Amy talked me down with me threatening to throw things at people at the gym if it was what I though it was, I really really enjoyed it.

Emily Hoyt is often referred to as a “free spirit,” but she knows that’s just a nice way to say “flake.” Thick-skinned and stubborn, she doesn’t let it bother her — she simply does what makes her happy. It’s a hard thing to pull off living in the shadow of her perfect big brother, who does everything right. So when big brother Bryce unexpectedly announces he’s married his perfect match, Emily once again feels the pressure to be more than the meandering musician she is. At exactly the moment she needs it, an opportunity presents itself in an unforeseen way. Alessandro Giordano is the lying, selfish bastard who once hurt her brother’s now-wife. Emily had him pegged as bad news. But when they meet at the engagement-turned-wedding celebration, they’re both looking to escape, and the instant chemistry they have pushes them together. Is their attraction just a diversion, or could it really be more? Is Alessandro truly capable of the selflessness committing to one woman requires? And will that really be the deal-breaker for Emily, or is it the idea of being tied down that will get in her way? The pursuit of love can devastate us, or it can liberate us — if only we can get out of our own way. Note: This is a novella and the fourth book in a steamy contemporary romance series.

Officially my first read by the author but I do have the previous books also, which I am getting to. So, yes I am jumping ahead but I think it’ll be fine. Also, this author has been a long time follower of all my everything’s and I want to thank her for always being there and this ARC!!
This was rather short obviously being a Novella so one sitting read and it was really steamy. Started off with Emily feeling like things in life may not happen to her…the relationship and marriage type. When she attends her brother’s engagement party she runs into the infamous Alessandro and things kind of just GO from there on. From thinking of him of all the things she has heard and see her soon to be sister in law go through, she had him pegged one way and to a delightful surprise he was nothing like.
When Alessandro takes her home and doesn’t follow what she is offering a IN THE MOMENT happens where she ends up going to Italy with him on a whim. Then the ADVENTURE begins! It’s a short but sexy story and for it being my first read, it was very enjoyable. Like I said at the beginning I do have the whole series to catch up on too!!

Not my first read by author, and I want to address that right after the Blurb got me THAT. COVER. my god, that smirk *sigh* okay, I’m okay now!!
This right away starts off AMAZING! I am already loving the librarian type ARI and the eavesdropping LITTLE BANDIT Grey!! I love how they met, love how both of them are two strangers that share the same spark and feeling for one another, or at least the BOOM they feel for one another!! It was very sweet and uber-sexy because Grey has a deep manly voice and looks like a tall dark and handsome drink!!
It’s a consuming and craving type of chase, passion and love. 162 pages of fast and somewhat irrational but totally understanding type of love. The type you try and capture when it’s still zipping around you. I really wish there was more of Grey and Ari,I loved them together, their chemistry and all.
Grey is a responsible, sexy and smart man, worked him way of building him empire so to say and has a straight head on his shoulder, that is until he kisses Ari because that consumption was magical!! Ari is the responsible and innocent Librarian, who’s friends dared to kiss the first guy that buys her a drink one night out, only turned out to be more beautiful than anything. I can’t say I had dislikes, it’s more about the hero and heroine which I don’t mind, it is a shorter one after-all. Fun, sexy and consuming!!

Adeline Murphy In Texas, two things are gospel – football and rodeos. Growing up as the daughter of a football legend made me practically royalty, but it’s not a crown I’m interested in. Football life isn’t for me, no matter how hard my family pressures me with their motto of “If you can’t be them, marry them.” Living in the shadow of my football star brothers was exhausting and I eventually became invisible all together. I bide my time working at my family’s car dealership until I gather up the nerve to tell them that I’m living life on my own terms. I have my own dreams and they don’t include marrying a football player or a cowboy. My resolve was strong, until a cocky Celtic cowboy sauntered into my life. Ryan Kearney might not wear a football jersey, but wearing a cowboy hat and chaps was just as lethal. Devilish good looks with a mouth that could even charm the panties off a nun, I knew I was in trouble when he set his sights on me.
Ryan Kearney As an up and coming bull rider, I’ve learned that rodeo life is grueling, but it’s the life I’ve chosen. The pounding of your heart and the thunder of applause that rings in your ears when that buzzer calls out the end of the eight seconds is a sound like no other. My dream to be a professional bull rider in the American Pro Rodeo Circuit is finally becoming a reality when my brother and I leave Ireland to compete for our shot at Nationals in Las Vegas. If I want the title of the best bull rider in the world, being mediocre isn’t enough. To be the best, you have to beat the best, which requires me living, breathing and sleeping rodeos. Being in a committed relationship isn’t even on my radar. So I do casual relationships and it seems my notoriety as the Playboy Cowboy preceded me to America. What can I say? The ladies love cowboys and I love the ladies. Charming them into bed is my second favorite pastime, so when the warm brown eyes of Adeline Murphy lock on mine and burn with yearning, I know I have her right where I want her. Except I don’t. The sexy spitfire seems immune to my charm and makes me work hard for her attention.
The chase has become a game – one that I’m determined to win and to make her mine. I wasn’t looking for forever, but I can’t imagine my life without her.
Ryan: I can’t wait to see your gorgeous face in the stands today. Dinner with your family after? Me:Hell No! Straight to the hotel for congratulatory sex on your huge victory. Ryan:My kind of woman.

Not my first read by author, I have officially read every single book so far!
Ryan Kearney is the younger brother of Rhett, where Rhett is handsome in a rugged way, Ryan is on the pretty side if you wish. Having slept through half of Dublin, he and his brother are heading to America to compete in the Pro Rodeo Cowboy Circuit. A dream really, so this was a very exciting time for Ryan…could almost have been even more in the mile high club if his brother didn’t pull the responsible card on him. It’s going to be a LONG 9 months!!
Adeline is a girl who is pretty much always around family, she is there to work, help and just be. It is perfectly fine until she decided she is going to follow her own dreams, that don’t involve working for her family any longer. Easier said than done!
One evening changes it all, a meet and some sassy fiestiness later….what can go wrong? So this is where it would be great if you read Book #1 BUT no worries, this one gives out enough back-story and info that you will be fine. What I love about this book is that Adeline does not give…not an inch and makes Ryan work for it. Their situation is no ideal, considering why Ryan is in the States and the rules his brother made. Also Adeline, she has a plan, remember…yeah, ALL’S FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR! is all I am going to say!!
A QUICK SLOW BURN, but very SIZZLING once there! *fanning self*
