One car.
Two strangers.

Grace Mackie is having the worst day.

Finding out her fiance only proposed for the sake of a promotion is one thing. But discovering he'd also knocked up his assistant? There's no coming back from that.

My Valdez Valentine by Katy Regnery (Odds-Are-Good #4)

🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

My Valdez Valentine is a ride you won't forget! This story was so much more than I expected, causing me to ugly cry a few times, but well worth the ride.

Addison had a rough childhood and the only person she has left in her life is her twin brother Elliot. When he calls with a frantic SOS call, she rushes to try and track him down.

Gideon finds her intriguing from the moment he sees her, offering to help with the search for her brother. When their time comes to an end, he's left wanting more time with her.

This book wrecked me in the best ways and is by far my favorite of the series. Such a beautiful tale of love, loss and overcoming obstacles. Truly amazing!

Summary:

When Los Angeles lawyer Addison receives a desperate voice mail from her adventure-seeking brother, Elliot, she hires Alaskan helicopter pilot Gideon (whom she first discovers via an ad in the Odds Are Good) to take her to her brother's last known location.

The Will and the Wilds by Charlie N. Holmberg

🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄

The Will and the Wilds is a magical journey! I was enthralled from the very beginning, and love when an author makes me question falling for certain characters.

Enna is a young girl, fascinated with mythical creatures. Her father has sacrificed everything to keep her safe, but with one wrong move, her life is changed forever.

Maekallus is just trying to survive, until his path crosses with Enna, and they both must find a solution to their predicament, or die trying.

There were times with the story, that I was afraid things wouldn't work out, whether it was in the way I wanted or not. This story was bewitching in the best way, and I love that the author even composed a song to help bring it to life!

I've read The Will and the Wilds twice now, and the audio book was definitely the way to go. The characters are brought to life in vivid detail, and even though I knew what was going to happen, I still found myself gasping or crying at certain parts.

It has the perfect mix of fantasy, magic and romance. The story line will stay in your thoughts for days, until you find yourself reading it all over again. A beautifully woven tale, with enchanting characters and a world every reader longs to escape in.

**On a side note: After hearing Charlie talk about the creation of this story, I'm very much looking forward to seeing every kissing scene in a whole new light from now one. (Ask me if you want to know more!)

💫 Adventure
🌌 Fantasy

Summary:

Enna knows to fear the mystings that roam the wildwood near her home. When one tries to kill her to obtain an enchanted stone, Enna takes a huge risk: fighting back with a mysting of her own.

Maekallus's help isn't free. His price? A kiss. One with the power to steal her soul. But their deal leaves Maekallus bound to the mortal realm, which begins eating him alive. Only Enna's kiss, given willingly, can save him from immediate destruction. It's a temporary salvation for Maekallus and a lingering doom for Enna. Part of her soul now burns bright inside Maekallus, making him feel for the first time.

Enna shares Maekallus's suffering, but her small sacrifice won't last long. If she and Maekallus can't break the spell binding him to the mortal realm, Maekallus will be consumed completely -- and Enna's soul with him.

Diana: Princess of the Amazons by Shannon & Dean Hale

👑👑👑👑👑

Diana: Princess of the Amazons is outstanding! The perfect graphic novel for young and old, no matter your age, you'll love this story.

A fun adventure of a young Wonder Woman that will uplift and empower you. Such a delightful story that captures the heart of every comic book fan that loves a strong female character. 

I read this with my 6 year old niece who dreads reading anything without pictures, and she absolutely devoured this book. A delightful look at what helped make Wonder Woman who she is today and I highly recommend this to everyone.

💫 Adventure

Summary:

Cut off from the rest of the world, Diana had an idyllic childhood on Themyscira. But now 11-years-old, she's beginning to feel more and more isolated. Though she has many "aunties" and a loving mother, she is an only child. THE only child, in fact.

After an escapade goes wrong, Queen Hippolyta chastises Diana for not living up to the Amazon standard. Diana just can't seem to measure up, no matter what she does! Literally every other person on the island is an adult proficient in their trade and mighty in body, while she is gangly, sometimes clumsy, and not particularly proficient in anything. She's not Wonder Woman yet. What Diana needs is a friend; someone her own age whom she can talk to. But when she decides to take matters into her own hands - she may just make a monster instead.

Happy Trail by Daisy Prescott (Park Ranger #1)

🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

Happy Trail takes your heart on a romantic adventure! This journey is about finding yourself and standing up for what truly makes you happy in life.

Olive is a breath of fresh air in this story. I love how she handles the break up and decides to put herself first for once. The trail scenes are fun and educational, all while making want to go hiking in the cold this weekend, in the hopes of finding my own Jay.

Jay is the typical guy, happy with where he's at in his life and not welcoming to any interruptions...let alone some hoity-toity princess who puts both of their lives at risk when not heading storm warnings.

When Jay and Olive's paths collide, I was unable to put the book down. Yes, they butt heads, but that's what makes for the best entertainment and relationships.

Together, they find themselves in a few sticky situations and have to wonder where life leaves them when the storm blows over. I loved their banter and they're definitely characters I'd love to read about again!

😄 Comedy
💧 Drama
💋 Romance

Summary:
A man of few words, Ranger Jay Daniels values the calm, quiet solitude of the Great Smoky Mountains. Never quite fitting in with either side of his family, he prefers the company of birds and trees to people.

Yeah, he'd most definitely prefer a bird -- any bird, any bird at all, take a vulture for instance -- to the human-tornado hybrid that just blew onto his peaceful stretch of the Appalachian Trail.

The path of true love never has run smooth for Olive Perry. After getting dumped and promptly abandoned in the middle of her multi-month hike, Olive swears off men. Determined to finish the long trek by herself, she doesn't need a prince -- or broody and taciturn ranger -- to save her.

Yet, when an early snowstorm threatens the mountains, and Ranger Daniels is charged with getting hikers to safety, that included hot-tempered Olive Perry. Snowed in and forced to share an abandoned cabin, can Olive's heated intensity melt Jay's cool reserve?

And if so, will this happy trail lead to true love? Or will their time together be just another bump in the road?

The Lumberjack by Kelli Ann Morgan (Redbourne series #7)

ÜÜÜÜÜ

The Lumberjack made me homesick in the best of ways! Kelli Ann has done her research and far surpassed all my expectations, perfectly depicting the life of a lumberjack.

I absolutely loved Hannah's story, and it was well worth waiting for. As much as I love the Redbourne men, Hannah definitely has a mind of her own and will win your heart too.

Her strength and determination to not put her heart on the line again, is admirable, but you also want to give her a gentle shove, cuz love is worth the risk.

Eli has always been the perfect son, doing what his father expects, learning the family business. When opportunity knocks, giving him a way out of a life he doesn't want, will he be able to take a stand and fight for what he wants?

With part of this story based in Oregon, I knew I'd have an emotional connection to it, as the environment is very similar to the surroundings I grew up with, but I never thought I'd love it as much as I did. I was a crying mess!

Such an outstanding addition to the Redbourne series, this book has romance, drama and a touch of danger - making it one adventure you won't soon forget!

💧 Drama
💋 Romance

Summary:
He'd broken her heart once...

HANNAH REDBOURNE is happy to be courted by more than one suitor at a time, but can't help comparing them all to the lumberjack who'd stolen her first kiss more than six years ago. So when he arrives in Stone Creek, as handsome as ever, she's torn between choosing a life with someone safe or risking her heart again to the man who promised a second chance at love.

She'd walked out of his life once...

ELI WHITTAKER is expected to take over his family's lumber business in Oregon, but the coarse life of the lumber camps goes contrary to everything he wants for his future, so when the opportunity to explore his options lands him at Redbourne Ranch with the only woman he'd ever loved and let go, he'll do anything to keep her out of harm's way and earn her love back in return.

Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier (Ruby Red Trilogy #1)

💗💗💗💗💗

The first book in the Ruby Red Trilogy introduces you to Gwyneth Shepherd. She was raised her entire life to believe that it would one day be her cousin Charlotte, who would have the ability to travel in time. One day she's shocked to discover that her mother lied about her birth date so nobody would suspect it was Gwyneth, enabling her to have a normal childhood.

After the family discovers the truth, Gwyneth is surrounded by skeptism, hurt and lies - and that's just within her family. She is then forced to work with Gideon, another time traveler, to learn what she needs to know before venturing into the unknown.

As Gideon and Gwyneth travel back in time, they start to discover that perhaps they haven't been everything and there are some secrets left to uncover. Not to mention a creepy count and family members that have escaped permanently into the past.

I haven't ventured into the YA world in a few years, so add in the Fantasy elements and I was hesitant to start this series (only because it's out of my norm). It was recommended by a friend of mine and my only regret is not starting it sooner!

I purchased the audiobook when she told me about the series, but I kept putting it off for other books. One day I was in a rut and needed something new, so I started this at work and didn't stop listening until the end. I immediately bought the rest of the series and the boxed paperback set!

Ruby Red is my favorite surprise read of 2018! With several mysteries to unravel, time travel aspects, family dynamics and more, you'll be captivated from the first page and drawn in to this stellar novel. I can't say this enough - EVERYONE should read this series!

A Mail-Order Destiny by Janelle Daniels (Miners to Millionaires - Book 10)

💛💛💛💛💛

This is the story of the last of Ivan's brides and the best one in the entire series. The author throws in humor, drama and suspense - with even a twist I didn't see coming!


Willow Packer finds herself inviting a damsel in distress to live with her, even though she's a stranger, but Abigail might be just the help she needs with her thriving business.

When Abigails brother comes to town, on a mission to bring her home with him, Willow is quick to stand up for her - even if he does make her heart skip a beat.

This book kept me reading from the second I started and I sent more than a few messages to the author in the process (hopefully she forgives me, lol).

I'm sad to see this series end, but there'll be a spin-off (which the books hints to), and I love how all of the other brides are woven into this story, so you leave with a feeling of completion.

One-Eyed Jack by Irish Winters (The Deuces Wild series – Book 3)

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Don't be distracted by the cover, this handsome specimen is more than a pretty face. Special Agent Isaiah Zaroyin is one of the FBI’s most valuable assets with his psychic gift to help get him out of sticky situations. Unfortunately, he’s told to work an undercover assignment with a tough Metro cop, who’s stubbornly out to prove she’s as good as any of the male officers.

Roxy Thurston has had her share of struggles in life and is determined not to allow Agent Zaroyin too close. After they’re forced to team up on a case, all bets are off. The chemistry and stubbornness between these two characters is off the charts explosive.

While trying to figure out the twists and turns of the plot, you’ll find yourself glued to the edge of your seat. The author provides plenty of entertainment and some points where I found myself holding my breath until the scene unfolded. This was another great addition to the Deuces Wild series, and it just gets better with each book!

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wet/Hot/Masked by Angel Payne (Honor Bound series - Books 5, 6, 7)

Three new additions to the Honor Bound series by Angel Payne. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but great stories filled with second chances and fighting for what you believe in. All are super-steamy reads, with action, romance and adventure.

I recommend starting from Book 1 since it has characters that intertwine throughout the series. Masked is by favorite one in the series so far and I can't wait for the rest of them to be released this year. I'll post links to the books on Amazon below and I have reviews posted on their as well for each individual book! Enjoy!

Misadventures of a Super Hero by Angel Payne (Misadventures Series #3)

This was a fun break from the typical romance book. You’re introduced to Reece, a former playboy turned “freak” with special abilities. When Emma enters his world, his super-protective nature comes in to play. He’s torn between keeping his secret and pursuing the passion he feel swith Emma, that he never thought he’d have in his life.

I loved this adventure of overcoming obstacles, while fighting for what you want from life. Reece is a complex character, dealing with the hand he’s been dealt (although unwilling), and trying to do some good with his new abilities. *Spoiler alert* My only wish is that there was more of a resolve with the people behind Reece’s powers, but I’m hoping this leaves an opening for more of their story in the future.
