Book Review


This is the story of Lexi's hard nosed businessman, elder brother Jackson. He's been through a lot to keep the family business solvent and not even had Ryder's help. He envies his siblings even as he moves through the motions to protect them and the family name. Now if only Ryder will do the right thing and marry Shey so that things stabilize in the merger. He does not see Emory coming in and disrupting his carefully laid plans. He did not think he would not be able to deal with her. He definitely did not expect to fall in love with her. Now he needs to look after her, but he can't be with her. After all she thinks she knows him, but he's a monster who has not revealed his true colours...or so he thinks. great story

Book Description


After almost dying in an avalanche, Dax O’Donnell makes a promise to himself: get serious about life and his career. His playboy ways might be fun, but he needs to plan for his future. Applying to paramedic school has always been a dream, but is he smart enough to succeed?

Lexi Henderson has loved Dax since joining the ski patrol team at Castle Ridge Resort. Knowing he’s a playboy, she’s kept her distance, but when he’s rescued from an avalanche she kisses him and sparks both of their desires. But he thinks she has a boyfriend—another playboy, and she keeps a major secret. Or two.
Dax suggests fun lessons to turn Lexi’s quiet and rigid attitude around. But when fun turns to passion, he must ask, is she willing to make the playboy switch?

In this secret identity tale, love overcomes secrets and lies.

Book Review


We first met Dax in the first book of the series which was Reed's romance with Quinn. Dax was the younger brother who was in a funk about his girlfriend moving away. And Reed believed himself too damaged to be allowed to fall in love and helped him make a move on Quinn. However that did not work out and Reed did get his girl. What about poor Dax?

In a family of brilliant and passionate people he is the ordinary one. The dumb jock on ski patrol. The party boy who makes things fun. Unfortunately that's not how he wants the rest of his life to be. Already a bit discontent with the way things were he makes a life changing decision when he gets buried in an avalanche.
How serious is he about turning his life around does not make the story though..it's about how he wants Lexi to become less serious and have fun. The two come across as opposites, but balance is important in life.

Book Description


England, 1673: The Ashcroft family motto is "Question Convention," and eldest sister Violet agrees with the sentiment completely. For one thing, she's not planning to marry. Plain Violet is smart enough to realize any suitors would be after her large inheritance, or else interested in her beautiful younger sisters—and she'd much rather spend her time improving her mind than risking her tender heart...
Having wasted six years wooing a lady who eloped with another man, Ford Chase, Viscount Lakefield, has had it with women. Ford would much rather spend his time pursuing the sciences and constructing the first watch with a minute hand. Having his young niece dropped in his lap proves an unwelcome, annoying distraction...until an uncommonly intelligent neighbor named Violet comes to help...

Book Review


This is the story of Ford and Violet. The sweet version of the original book called Violet.The intellectual and scholarly Ford Chase is trying his best to come to terms with baby sitting his niece Jewel while the rest of her family suffers from measles. That's when Violet's Mum steps in with what seems to him a brilliant idea to keep Jewel occupied. 

Rowan and Jewel can play together leaving Ford free to his own devices while Violet baby sits them. Then as plans often do, it all falls apart because it's not just Jewel who is looking forward to visits from their neighbours. I love that he made her spectacles. That was just such a sweet gesture! I received the book as a gift from the authors in return for my honest opinion

Book Description


Will he pass the daddy test?
With his job in jeopardy, it couldn’t be a worse time for Sheriff Nate Landry’s recent past to come back to haunt him. But it would take an army to stop SWAT team leader Julie Smith. The fellow cop–and sister of his ex-fiancé—wants one thing from the beleaguered lawman: custody of the toddler son that Nate didn’t know he had.
He may not be natural daddy material, but he quickly takes a shine to little Duke. And there are the feelings Nate’s been hiding for years. Only now Julie’s running for sheriff of Harmony Valley—against him. Time to retreat? Not if he wants a future with the woman he loves.

Book Review


I've always enjoyed the Harmony Valley stories. A town of geriatrics creating opportunities for the town to return to it's former glory. The young, often troubled, souls that come drifting into town. Looking for and finding a niche to settle down into. This book is no exception.

For those of you who remember Sheriff Nate Landry from previous books, including the pink wedding gown that he was gifted, you will be happy to know that he does indeed find his match in this book. Julie was his partner in his previous job. What is a surprise is Duke. The little one who was born to Julie's sister battling with cancer.

One doesn't think a guy as honorable as Nate would leave a pregnant, cancer survivor behind, but the circumstances did play into just that happening. This story is about the Daddy Test, and if Julie can stay long enough to administer it, and also if Nate can get over his own past demons to survive it.

Beautiful story, rich characters and as usual interesting side lines into the town's residents.

Book Description

Psychologist Allie Hollister is still haunted by the unsolved death of her childhood best friend. She never expects her past to meet her present when a young patient is abducted and the cold case is reopened. Allie knows she shouldn't get involved, but the child's uncle, firefighter Max Kellan, needs her as much as she needs him. 

Once, Max simply wanted to put his past to rest; now he demands nothing short of justice. As he and secretive, sexy Allie track a lethal criminal, their chemistry is an undeniable adrenaline rush. Their attraction will be put to the test when they confront their most dangerous threat yet: the truth

Book Review

The mystery murderer of Chloe is finally revealed. This series has been full of intrigue and suspense, dosed with a healthy helping of romance. The earlier books dealt with Eden and Simone being stalked by the murderer, and this time it's Allie.

Only he's not just stalking her, he's actively kidnapped one of her clients. A little girl called Hope who may be a double for Chloe. She needs to find Hope before the deadline imposed by the murderer comes to pass. She needs to stay strong and work through the clues that he's been sloppy enough to leave.

She will find it difficult to concentrate with Max, Hope's uncle, exploding emotions to deal with as well. Max is a retired fire fighter, the hero to his niece Hope. Not that he feels like much of a hero after the incident which caused him to tender his resignation. He's been feeling alive after Hope came back into his life and helping her with her parent's messy divorce has been healing for him.

Now she's missing and he's panicking. He's never trusted shrinks, because they don't seem to care, but Allie is different. She is emotionally vested in finding Hope and she's ready to paint a bulls eye on her own back to help find the kidnapper, but she's not telling him the full story. And he needs to know the truth.

The story is superb and yes you may think you know who did it, but you are in for a really big surprise! The twist in the end is totally unexpected.

Book Description


Exactly why should P.I. Vince Sutton take his ex-wife's case? Because she, assistant district attorney Simone Armstrong, put his brother in jail? Because the ambitious spitfire still drives him crazy? No, he'll take it because "The Avenging Angel" makes him a deal he can't refuse. Sparks fly when Vince works all-too-closely with Simone to locate her missing key witness...but in the process, they are drawn into a cold case. As much as he tries, Vince can't deny that he's never gotten over beautiful Simone, but can he admit his feelings to her--and himself? And can he save her from the danger that's heading their way?

Book Review


Second book in the Honor Bound series. We had the investigative journalist Eden find the Iceman in book one with help from her good friend and cop Cole. This book follows up with Simone, the prosecutor in the DA's office. When Mara, a key witness in her case, goes missing Simone is willing to do what it takes to get her back. Even if it means asking her ex marine, ex PI and ex husband Vince for help. The two may have married and divorced in a hurry, but they have never really got over each other. As the danger builds from different sources and Vince rushes in to protect Simone, they rediscover their attraction to each other and this time they are both different and willing to work on it. Superb follow up book. Can't wait to see them catch Chole's murderer in the last of the book series.

Book Description

England & Scotland, 1668: Kendra Chase's brothers are telling her it's high time she get married. But although they've presented her with many wealthy, titled suitors, no man has caught her fancy—until her coach is held up by a dashing, mysterious highwayman. When she and the dangerous man are caught in a compromising embrace and her overprotective brothers insist they wed, Kendra cannot believe it. Are they really desperate enough to match her with an outlaw?
Scottish-born Patrick "Trick" Caldwell is the Duke of Amberley—and also the notorious Black Highwayman, an identity he has assumed in order to right past wrongs and serve his king. But his already complicated life becomes positively convoluted when he finds himself compelled to marry a red-headed temptress he's only just met. Caught in a web of half-truths and forced into a perilous mission, can Trick extricate himself and find love with the woman destined to steal his heart?

Book Review

Kendra's a bit of a tomboy, given the fact that she's the only girl among all the Chase brothers. She's had a fairly unconventional upbringing on the continent and is not really interested in the silly suitors at court. However her brothers think it's high time she settled down. In a fit she rides out on her own only to be held up by the highwayman.

What she doesn't know is that the mysterious highway man is actually Trick Caldwell, her brother's friend and also the Duke of Amberly. Her brother's willingness to give her in marriage to a man who seems to be nothing more than an outlaw causes her more than a mild panic attack. Of course things get sorted out in the end and they do get their HEA.

Book Description

England, 1667: Sensible Clarice Bradford is content in her widowhood. She has a pretty one-room cottage and a lovely little daughter, and the last thing she wants is another husband. Until one fairytale evening when she's invited to a wedding at a castle...
Scottish gentleman Sir Cameron Leslie is smitten with the shy, English beauty at first sight. He's fiercely drawn to the very strength and independence that make her unwilling to throw caution to the wind and bestow her heart on a younger man. Though passion flares between them, it will take everything Cameron can muster to reawaken Clarice's long-forgotten dreams of true love...

Book Review


In the last book of the series, Emerald, we met the widow Clarice Bradford who adopts the orphan Mary. The widow has a purpose to life again when the cherubic little victim of the London fire ends up in her home. What she did not count on is the attention of a Scottish gentleman.

Sir Cameron Leslie is in England for his cousin's wedding, not to find a bride of his own. Yet as he spends more time with Clarice he realizes that she is perfect for him. Clarice is a victim of domestic abuse and not quite so ready to trust her heart to a man determined to play her fairy tale prince.

The story is a tender and gentle love story which brings the vulnerabilities of both characters to the front. While not directly related to the Chase Family it makes enjoyable reading and provides a nice tying up of loose ends on the Scottish side of the family.
