Snowed in at Canyon Creek Ranch

  Snowed in at Canyon Creek Ranch Snowed In for Christmas Clean Romance Series Written by: Holly Stevenson This Snowed in for Christmas installment is a refreshing romance. Some of the previous stories have been a little more predictable and slow. Holly Stevenson was able to add a contemporary/comedic vibe to this one. Sage Elliot- the esthetician and planner through and through paired with Garrett Davis- the cowboy with a business mind on him make for an adorable couple, especially after their not-so-great first impressions. While the relationship happens quickly- it does not feel like the romance was rushed. This set it up perfectly with an epilogue that lets my imagination fill in the blanks with the beauty of how it grew to the end.

Trusting In You

  Trusting in You San Diego Marines Written by: Jess Mastorakos Trusting in You is such a well-written book. Jess Mastorakos created such detailed characters that their personalities and quirks are vivid. I could see Lucy James becoming my best friend and Eric is a good guy through and through. The way their relationship came together and how determined they were to make things work despite the obstacles in their way made this story such a sweet romance. The military aspect is on the light side while there is a bigger focus on the aspects of living with someone who has special needs. Mastorakos made the challenges seem realistic without being overwhelming. All in all a great book.  Purchase on Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09H55WC79/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i8

The Night I Found You

The Night I Found You  A River Haven Novel Written by: Noelle Bensen The Night I Found You is a very detailed story. The build-up at the beginning was a little slow as I took in everything that Noelle included. There was so much that happened and so much back story that it took a while to get everything in the story. Gemma and Levi both have huge back stories. The character development is spot on. They are both such good people. The way Levi takes care of Gemma is so precious while Gemma is ready to stand on her own two feet. This story is not as light-hearted as many chick-flicks are but it does have such a rewarding pay off in the end. 

Snowed in at the Movie Set

 Snowed in at the Movie Set Snowed in for Christmas Clean Romance Series Written by: Erica Penrod This Snowed in for Christmas book is a fast-paced sweet romance. The relationship develops quickly and we don't get to see much of that development. We do get to see the characters personalities shine- the goodness of a man nicknamed Danger while still being a great movie star and the strong-willed side of Audrey Stratton. From Thanksgiving to Christmas- and a side of the being stuck for the night- it is fun to see how quickly people can find their love.  Purchase on Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/Snowed-Movie-Set-Erica-Penrod-ebook/dp/B09D7CFRK2/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=snowed+in+at+the+movie+set&qid=1636814808&sr=8-2

An Alleged Rogue

  An Alleged Rogue Georgian Gentlemen Written by: Sian Ann Bessey Sian Bessey's newest book in the Georgian Gentleman series had me racing for the end. From start to finish, I couldn't wait to see what happened. The intrigue, society's gossip, and the romancer all had me entranced. An Alleged Rogue took me to a place that I could see society's whirl happening while still being set in the country. This book details a villain who isn't limited to one crime but several. By the time the story ends, every wraps up nicely after the climax that made my heart race and the hero and heroine to be put in life-threatening situations. This historical romance was so fun to read. Purchase on Amazon:   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B091DXPRQ5/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i3

Beach Rose Secrets

 Beach Rose Secrets Beach Rose Harbor Book 1 Written by: Ellen Joy The start to a new series is always a great day. Ellen Joy's new series has the makings of a good one. Beach Rose Secrets has the romance, some suspense, and a good story. Abby's life has been hard since her ex-husband was taken down by the FBI ten years ago. So much has happened since then and she deserves happiness. When Will comes to town she has the opportunity for a new romance. The romance in this story is a slow set-up for something to come in future books. I look forward to seeing how their story turns out.  Purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09KTGRRK8/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i2

Snowed in at Jingle Falls

 Snowed in at Jingle Falls Snowed In for Christmas Clean Romance Series Written by: Kaylee Baldwin Here is yet another Snowed in for Christmas book and it is a fantastic read. Each of the authors taking part in this series have manage to come up with unique settings, plots, and characters while still falling within the guidelines of a snowed in romance. I love how each of them turn up the heat without adding explicit scenes. The romance is there and real. Harper and Nolan have a great love story that grows quickly over the course of their week. While we don't see the beginning of the story, we do get a great glimpse at the magic that happens to get their relationship off to a start. Kaylee Baldwin adds everything that this story needs to add the suspense of whether their relationship will make it- on both sides. This whole story makes me ready to snuggle up with my honey and get the Christmas season started.  Purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Snowed-Jingle-Falls-Kaylee-Bal
