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!

A Fairbanks Affair by Katy Regnery (Odds-Are-Good #3)

💛💛💛💛💛

A Fairbanks Affair will capture your heart! I'm so in love with this story, so much that it just might be my favorite one by Katy Regnery yet, and that says a lot for me. I'd give it 7 stars if I could!

Faye had to take on a lot at a young age, never being able to enjoy young adulthood. She took the reigns of her family company after her parents passed away, and had a younger sister to look after as well. So when the opportunity to have a carefree weekend with a stranger arises, she can finally give away her V-card.

Trevor has suffered the ultimate betrayal, not only at his fiancee's hands, but his own brother - leaving his jaded and bitter. He thinks a random hookup with no strings attached is what he needs, but after the chemistry he discovers with Faye, he's tempted to see where things could lead.

Yes, the premise for their meeting is based around a lie that neither one of them are aware of, but I love how many aspects of their lives are intertwined...it's almost as if fate was bound to bring them together. Although Trevor comes off as a bit of a prick in the beginning, it's justified and he more than makes up for his behavior.

I love the way Trevor and Faye are perfect for each other: from knowing exactly what the other person needs to hear, or just a simple touch of the hand in support. From start to finish, this book had me smiling, laughing and even shedding a few tears. I absolutely loved it and will revisit their story again soon!

 💧 Drama 💋 Romance

Summary:

Tired of being treated like a freak when men discover that Faye is a 30-year-old virgin, she answers an ad in The Odds Are Good magazine, hoping to trek up to Fairbanks over New Year's and turn over her v-card to a sexy Alaskan. But when her chemistry with businessman, Trevor, turns out to be stronger than she ever could have imagined, what started out as a one-and-done mission, becomes much more complicated.

Nome-o Seeks Juliet by Katy Regnery (Odds-Are-Good #2)

🛷🛷🛷🛷🛷

Nome-o Seeks Juliet is a journey you don't want to miss! This wonderful tale of taking chances, both on love and in life, will have you cheering.

Filled with awkward moments that will pull at your heart strings, and characters that you'll fall in love with. I guarantee you won't want to put this book down.

Watching Juliet interact with Cody, not knowing his difficulties in life was hard to read. I just wanted to reach in the book and shake her. My heart broke for everything he's been through, and his continued struggles on a daily basis.

Plenty of steamy romance, laughter and tears makes this my new favorite in the Odds-Are-Good series. I always know that if Katy Regnery is the author, I'll be able to dive right into the story, only to be sad that it's over too soon, and counting the days until the next book releases.

Single in Sitka by Katy Regnery (Odds-Are-Good #1)

💙💙💙💙

Single in Sitka will win your heart! A single dad romance, that will make you double-check your rearview mirror the next time you're pulled over.

Amanda has a job and friends she loves, but after her last relationship didn't end so well, she's left reeling and hurt.

Amanda and Luke have the best interactions from the start, throw in his kids, and there's plenty of laughter, tears, and moments that will leave you breathless.

I love a good romance that keeps you on your toes, wondering if you'll get a happy ending, or how it could possibly work out. There were two points in this book that my heart stopped, and I literally had to pause what I was doing, so I could get through the chapter. Well done Katy!

Single in Sitka is a great start to a new series, and I can't wait to see where the author takes us in the next book. Highly entertaining with plenty of steamy romance as well!

When the Great Dane, Scrappy, who - suprise! - she also inherited, gets sick, she takes him to the nearest veterinarian, where she meets Donovan Hunter. A ridiculously good-looking playboy, Donovan immediately gets under Riley's skin, and she can't wait to be rid of the house, the dog, and Port Henry.

Arrange Me by Katy Regnery (The Arranged Duo #1)

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

For the last year, Courtney Jane Salinger has had one bad date after another. Finally ready to be done with the humdrum of dating, she discovers a service that matches up people ready for marriage.

Josh Dalton has been watching Courtney come into the bar every Friday with her best friend for the last year. He flirts freely, but dating a customer is definitely on his list of things he won't do.

As a bartender, Josh hears a lot of things, but he never expected to discover that Courtney signed up to be married to a complete stranger! He can't deny that he cares about her, but marriage is definitely not anything he's remotely ready for, so he's forced to be her friend and support her choice.

Arrange Me is the perfect blend of humor and romance! While it's the first in a book duo, you're definitely given a happy ending, but with the promise of more to come in the sequel. Katy Regnery is one of my favorite authors and I highly recommend this book, especially to anyone who's been through the misery of dating, lol.

💚💚💚💚💚

Brittany Manion has suffered heartbreak from not one, but two, men - leaving her to rediscover the one place that she spent the most memorable summers of her life. While there, she realizes her dreams are achievable, she just needs to trust her heart.
