  Sinister Secrets Three Suspense Novellas Written by: Traci Hunter Abramson, Clair M. Poulson, and Paige Edwards While these three authors are so unique in writing style- they are all fantastic storytellers. Each story is different but all have suspense that starts right from the beginning and drew me in. From Traci Abramson's with a teenage girl running for her life to Paige Edwards's where there is FBI and DEA all involved. Each of these authors make it possible for you to jump into the story and see a little snapshot into the lives of these characters. The intrigue, adventure, and love-familial or romantic-makes this set of stories sing. 

  Flirting with My Billionaire Boss A part of the Fall Into Love Collection Written by: Cindy Ray Hale This sweet romance is part of the Flirting with My Billionaire Boss collection. The heroine gets her second chance for love after a disaster the first time. It was nice that there was not much drama from the previous relationship despite there being the potential for a lot. The romance grew and it was short and sweet. 

 Meet Me Under the Kissing Bought A Christmas Romance Collection Written by: Josi S. Kilpack, Anneka R. Walker, and Sarah L. McConkie This collection of Christmas romances was a romantic read. All three stories followed the same theme of Christmas love. They do all happen within a short time frame and the love is quick to come. The authors wove in the Christmas traditions of the time in a way that was made me want to join in the fun.  Each of these stories is unique. Sarah McConkie wrote a great feminine retelling of Dickin's A Christmas Carol. While being a classics retelling, it wasn't obvious at first. The miserly Miss Caroline had a beautiful upbringing until her mother passed away. The following years are what broke her. Her character development is so vast for such a short story. Miss Caroline's change for good was the best part of the happily ever after. 

 Cowboy's Second with the Nanny Racing Hearts and Horses: Book 5 Written by: Audree Snow This is another frustrating installment in the Racing Hearts and Horses series. Sunday lets herself get into a relationship with someone who ends up being toxic and controlling while Beaumont is finally starting to understand and get his act together. The characters have strong flaws and I hope we see them figure things out in the next installment.  Content warning: potentially abusive boyfriend

 Cowboy's Second Chance with the Nanny Racing Hearts and Horses: Book 4 Written by: Audree Snow The fourth installment of Cowboy's Second Chance with the Nanny is full of drama and heartbreak. Both Sunday and Beaumont have their things to work through and Audree Snow does well at showcasing all of their issues as they both make mistakes and hurt each other. This story is left with no hope at the end as both characters have their pride. There is two more installments so I know there is good left to come. 

 Cowboy's Second Chance with the Nanny Racing Hearts and Horses: Book 3 Written by: Audree Snow This third book had me banging my head against a wall as Beaumont won't open up to tell Sunday anything!!! This would solve so much with helping their relationship/lack of one. It is so frustrating to see their problems happening because of this. This series is definitely one I would recommend waiting until they all come out before you read them because of how dumb the characters can be. I can't blame Beaumont too much because he has a lot going on in his life but man... someone just needs to knock some sense into him. 

  Cowboy's Second Chance with the Nanny Racing Hearts and Horses: Book 2 Written by: Audree Snow This second installment in the Cowboy's Second Chance with the Nanny continues the story with more romantic suspense. Beaumont and Sunday are both starting to have feelings but everything about their lives is pulling them apart. I am definitely intrigued as to how things will work out but at the same time I feel like a lot was shoved into this section of the book that could have used some more fleshing out. 

 Cowboy's Second Chance with the Nanny Racing Hearts and Horses: Book 1 Written by: Audree Snow This second chance romance story is just the introduction to this story. It sets up the back story of Beaumont and Sunday. These two characters have quite a bit of negative history that is going to take a lot of work to overcome. Audree Snow has set up the story to last through a few of these short story type sub-books and I am intrigued by what is to come. 

 The Blessing of Babies Christmas at Shiloh Ridge Ranch Written by: Liz Isaacson This short book is a intermediary book that catches you up on what is happening in Shiloh Ridge Ranch. This is one that you definitely need to read the other stories to understand what is going on otherwise you will be lost. It was fun to read from the perspectives of the different ranch wives/fiancees as well as to see so many babies be born within the family. It has me ready to read the next in the happenings of Shiloh Ridge Ranch. 

  Her Cowboy's Fake Proposal Red River's Hope Book 6 Written by: Audree Snow This final installment of the Red River's Hope series wraps the story up quickly. The building committee get their comeuppance, Grace and Colton figure their relationship out and some friendships are mended. A lot happens in this little novella. It feels a little rushed in finishing the story but iI enjoyed seeing them find their Happily Ever After- especially with all they had to go through. 

  Her Cowboy's Fake Proposal Red River's Hope Book 5 Written by: Audree Snow It is hard to believe this series of short stories is almost coming to an end. This second to last installment continues the intrigue as Colton and Grace are almost to the point of continuing their relationship past the point of fake. It has been a sweet read and fun little bite-sized pieces throughout the last month. This is Audree Snow's sweet spot in writing in my opinion. 

 Dancing to Freedom Dream's Edge Book 0.5 Written by: Traci Hunter Abramson Whether Traci Abramson writes action/suspense or romance- she stars at it all. I love reading all of her books. She has just the right amount of intrigue and suspense in both what is going to happen and how the romance is going to work out. I have to say I love every single books of hers. This story takes the setting of a Russian dancer in the height of the cold war and tells it from her perspective and the hunky hockey player who ends up in the hotel room next door. It was so interesting reading and thinking about what it would be like to be someone who lived on the other side of the Iron Curtain- the fear that is instilled in them, the restraint and suppression. Traci Abramson does this without overwhelming the story with feelings of dread and hopelessness. This really was a sweet, short romance that I loved reading in preparation for the first book in the series- An Unlikely Pair to come out. 

  Her Cowboy's Fake Proposal  Red River's Hope- Book 4 Written by: Audree Snow The honeymoon is over and it didn't last very long as a surprise visitor comes to town and the neighbor drops off his kids with an emergency- these two pretend lovebirds are doing their best to be what they said they are. This bite size piece of the story continues the fun and surprise romance. 

  Her Cowboy's Fake Proposal Red River's Hope- Book 3 Written by: Audree Snow The story continues with a beautiful wedding day and more complications at the building permits office. While Grace and Colton solve one problem, another one hops to fill its place. I just started getting hope for the two of them as a couple but the sexist lowlife at the building permits keeps throwing obstacles in their way. Once again, I am looking forward to what happens next in this series as their hearts open little by little. 

  Her Cowboy's Fake Proposal Red River's Hope Book 2 Written by: Audree Snow This second installment in the Red River's Hope series continues the excitement- will she get her contractor's license? Will he heal from the tragedies that affected his life? So far, the story continues to have me intrigued at what happens next. It is definitely a sweet romance- in one of my favorite tropes. 

  Her Cowboy's Fake Proposal Red River's Hope- Book 1 Written by: Audree Snow Her Cowboy's Fake Proposal is part one of a new book that is split into individual sections. So far it has set up the sweet beginnings of friendship in the middle of a small town. With a proposal of convenience at the very end it leaves it at a slight cliff hanger. Audree Snow has added the misogyny of the boy's club with the great environment of the small town feeling to create a unique challenge for the characters to overcome. I look forward to seeing where this story goes. 

  A Kiss to Build a Dream On The Harvest Ranch Romance Series Written by: Holly Stevenson A Kiss to Build a Dream On was a sweet, short read. All about the meeting and initial romance of an unlikely couple. The setting was beautiful to read about and the characters are hard-working, kind, and good-hearted people. The whole story was just a perfect short feel-good story that brought a smile to my face as I read. It is another great Harvest Ranch Romance book. 

  Billionaire Cowboy's Secret Baby Creek Ranch Book 5 Written by: Audree Snow This next installment in the series has so much happen within the short pages of this book. As Ava returned to the small town she grew up in, she had to return home and found her daughter missing. With a little resolution, and quite a few more events/cliffhangers, this story is building up for a big conclusion. Who is the good guy? Everything is becoming less and less clear- definitely increasing the anticipation for the upcoming releases.  Trigger warnings: cancer, kidnapping, hints of child trafficking

  Billionaire Cowboy's Secret Baby Creek Ranch Book 2 Written by: Audree Snow The second book in the Creek Ranch series adds depth and intrigue to the first. This added to the back story and introduced more than just cowboys looking for control of the whole town of Rock Creek. These two rival families take up most of the first book but now Ava Garcia comes back to town as the story concludes, leaving it as a cliff hanger. I am curious to see what happens next in this series with how part 2 ended. 

  Billionaire Cowboy's Secret Baby Creek Ranch Book 1 Written by: Audree Snow This short story is a great lead up to a series that seems different than I have read from Audree Snow. There is suspense, troublesome pasts, and as the title says- a secret baby. So much is packed into this story and it ends without giving too much away from the rest of the series. It definitely has me intrigued for what comes next.
