Southern Heat by Natasha Madison (Southern #6)

 

💜💜💜💜

Have tissues & chocolate for this one! Southern Heat is a heart-stopping whirlwind that will grab your heart in a vice and not let go until the very end.

The amount of torment and emotional abuse that Willow has suffered in her life would be enough to destroy even the strong person, and yet she still takes one day at a time.

Watching her struggle to recover, but always having her black bag ready to go in case she has to run at the last minute, is guaranteed to break your heart.

Quinn is protectively enamored with Willow after he rescues her, and is by her side non-stop. His insta-love is endearing, especially the more his family becomes involved. The only battle he faces is trying to convince her that she can depend on people, him in particular.

A beautifully tragic story of finding trust and happiness after losing everything, even if things don't work out the way you thought they would. My heart still aches just thinking about this story, but I've loved every second of the journey.

SUMMARY:

Willow

After being left for dead, I was given a fresh start by my knight in shining armor.

My protector.

I never had a family before they took me in.

But I don't know how to stay or trust.

I always had a bag packed and ready just in case I needed to escape again.

Like they say, old habits die hard.

Being in the shadows is lonely, but lonely is safe.

Quinn

I was the quiet one, the one who stood in the back and watched things unfold. The cowboy who only cared about his horses instead of the glory.

Until I found her fighting for her life. Something inside me shifted, and I couldn't stop it.

I couldn't stop protecting her.

I fell in love with her with one look because she was my soul mate.

Even though I knew I couldn't make her stay.

SUMMARY:

As the son of one of the States' most prominent mob bosses, Shane Martinelli's always been immersed in society's shady underbelly. Learning to navigate it and keep to the edges was working just fine until an acquaintance turns up missing, and he fears the worst. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he hasn't stopped thinking about her. Luckily, as an ex-special operative, he's uniquely qualified to track her down and keep her safe. Unfortunately, nobody's making that easy -- not the people who took her nor the woman herself.

Ivie Jordan has led a pretty uneventful life, and that's just how she likes it. Especially since she'll be the first to admit that she doesn't do so well in social situations. She's a proud business owner, and while she doesn't have family, she does have a network of people who look out for her. Little did she know that being accepted into that fold came with a laundry list of issues. When the worst happens, and she's forced to rely on the ruggedly handsome alpha hero who comes to her rescue, she discovers her inner badass -- and the sultry vixen on her other shoulder.

Too bad the two of them are literally running for their lives and trying to ensure the safety of those they love. There is way more at stake than meets the eye.

It's time for the hunted to become the hunters.

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.

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!

Twice as Sexy is the perfect example of opposites attract! You can't go wrong with any book in this series, and I even love this one more than the first one, which I didn't think was possible (fight me).

This story will draw you in and keep you on the edge of your seat with the anticipation of what will happen next. The passion between Tanner and Scarlett is red hot from the moment they see each other, and their chemistry is undeniably instant.

When threats and demons from Tanner's past come back to haunt him, Scarlett is forced to decide whether she can trust someone who's past is everything she's come to stand against.

I absolutely loved this book, and it even had a cameo from the Dare family in it! A heart-stopping romance that will keep you entertained and counting down until the next book is released.

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.

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!

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?
