Since You've Been Gone by Samantha Chase (Magnolia Sound #8)

🐾🐾🐾🐾

Best friends and rescue animals = sold! Since You've Been Gone is a story of coming home and following your heart.

While coming home for the weekend seemed like a good escape from the recent fame he's gained on social media, Garrett is forced to face the only woman he's ever loved.

Emma has a lot on her plate, so when her childhood best friend comes back to visit, she's left reeling from what her life could've been.

The genuine friendship between Emma and Garrett is so heart-warming, especially his bond with the rest of her family. The animal rescue aspect will tug at your heart, and I loved the entire story! Magnolia Sound is a town I'd love to live in.

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Emmaline Ryan has always been the smart, shy girl who plays it safe. But all that's gotten her is a divorce and a mountain of debt to pay off courtesy of her ex-husband. Needless to say, she's stopped believing in miracles and fairy tales a long time ago. Except now she's in desperate need of one of those miracles if she wants to save her family's animal rescue. Emmaline knows just where to go for help, but that means putting her faith in the hands of the man who once broke her heart without even realizing it.

Garrett Coleman met the girl of his dreams when he was just eight years old -- only, he never told her. But that was years ago. Now, Garrett has become a reluctant social media star -- the shirtless #HotDoc and #SexyVet who saves scared and helpless animals. Sure, it's been great for business, but he'd give anything for people to see the real him, preferably with a shirt on. When a visit home to Magnolia Sound has him running into the shy girl he left behind, he sees his chance at the future he never thought he deserved.

Unfortunately, he's not the only one back in town, and wooing Emmaline just became a lot more complicated. A lot has changed since he's been gone and Garrett is going to have to prove that he's up to the challenge. Emmaline might still be the sweet and quiet girl he left behind, but he's not sure she's willing to wait.

Anthony by Kelsie Rae (Signature Sweethearts #7)

💗💗💗💗

Kelsie Rae has a way of inviting the reader into the story with her writing, and holding your heart hostage. Anthony is a heart-warming, second chance romance you won't soon forget!

When two people with broken pasts cross paths with one another, you can see their walls are up to prevent any future heart break.

Anthony's past relationship has broken him and shattered every dream he's known for the majority of his life. The DUI was a wake-up call for where his life is headed if he doesn't change his destructive ways.

Throughout the story, Sway hints that she's unable to have a normal relationship due to something traumatic in her past. She has a special place in my heart and I enjoyed her playful banter with Anthony.

Pretty much anything that includes animals, especially rescues, has an automatic grip on my heart. This is my favorite in the series so far!

💋 Romance

Summary:

Anthony

Being responsible hasn't gotten me anywhere in life. My girlfriend left me for another guy. My career is over. I feel like I've lost everything.

Then I meet Sway Swenson.

She's sexy, fun, spontaneous, has zero inhibitions, and thinks relationships are a waste of time, just like me. She's perfect for getting me back into the game without looking for anything serious. The only problem? She's hiding something, and the longer I hang around her, the more I want to uncover her secret. If only she'd let me.

Sway

I don't do relationships. A crippling experience in high school was enough to make me avoid them like the plague.

Then I meet Anthony Wright.

Everything is fine until he decides to take off his stupid shirt and gives me a glimpse of his washboard abs. When he suggests hot and sweaty sex with no strings attached, I'm stupid enough to jump in with both feet. Yup. I fall for his ludicrous idea, but I refuse to fall for the man himself.

Even if he does make me curious about what life could be like if I wasn't broken.

Ace by Irish Winters (The Deuces Wild #4)

🂱 🂱 🂱 🂱 🂱

The Deuces Wild series is like an onion, with multiple layers that just keep drawing you in. Can be read as a stand alone, but more enjoyable if you've read the series, since previous characters come in to play.

Keller Boniface despises his place on the team, but there's nothing he won't do to save a brothers life. This is how he crosses the path of Savannah Church, right after she loses the only person in her life that matters...the very person Keller needed to get answers from.

Dark forces are at play, but Savannah and Keller need to work together in order to help Keller reach his full potential and save a life.

Ace is an exhilarating ride, with plot twists that literally leap off the page and hold you hostage until you finish. Savannah is a woman after my own heart, and she's living my dream of rescuing animals. From start to finish, this book is one of my favorites this year!

Irish Winters makes me fall in love with this series after each new book, even more than I thought possible, and strengthens my belief in the unknown. An outstanding addition to the series!

Summary:
Keller Boniface...
Always by the book, Keller's mission is to locate an elderly psychic in Louisiana and be quick about it. A teammate is dying; there's no time to waste. But the land of voodoo, gris gris, and etouffe is the last place Keller wants to be. He left a nightmare here once, and hasn't been back since. Yet he's nothing if not efficient. He can locate that psychic and be gone in a day, maybe less. Until he runs into the psychic's great granddaughter... Until his own psychic gift tells him precisely who and what Savannah Church is...

Savannah Church...
Impulsive. Intuitive. Savannah's a free spirit who collects strays, rescues fighting dogs, and manages the local no-kill animal shelter. Her life is perfect until the morning Gran Mere dies. Savannah knew this day was coming, but she hadn't expected her great grandmother would leave with a whispered warning to, 'Look for the wild rose that grows deep in the bayou. Watch for the warlock. You alone hold the key...'
