Book Description


We’re just friends…

Fair and beautiful Becca Sloan was used to saying this to people…and it was true. The youngest of Harper’s Crossing’s Quad Squad, she knew she could always rely on her best friend, Brian. Ever since their first encounter on the slide in pre-K, they’d had each other’s backs and were inseparable, through good times and bad.

Sexy and charming Brian Scott kept nothing from his best friend, Becca. He knew that she would always be there for him, and she knew that she could always count on him. They had a once-in-a-lifetime friendship that was a constant in both of their lives.

When both Becca and Brian are cast in a dating reality show to find love elsewhere, it becomes clear to them that they may have already found it. With cameras rolling, they’ll have to decide if they should protect their friendship and live un-happily ever after with someone else—or trust in their amazing bond and live happily ever after with each other in a Fairytale Love.

Book Review


Finally the last book in this series. I have enjoyed reading all the books, but the first and the last book were really the best. Becca is studying to be a doctor, and there is time for nothing beyond her books. She would like to take things up with her best friend from childhood, Brian, but he doesn't seem to think of her as girl friend material. they seem to have been friends too long for it to change into something else.

Brian has been having different feelings for Becca, dreams that he thinks are wired. Little does he remember that they are actually images that his alcohol soaked brain has filtered from his one evening with Becca. But Becca never said a word, so they have to be dreams right? After all he can't possibly act on these new feelings and risk their precious friendship.

Thanks to the same friendship Becca and Brian end up as co- contestants on a Fairy Tale based reality TV show. Brian needs the money and Becca is there to support him, however things are never quite as they appear on reality TV. Just how does their friendship survive this test?

 Book Description

Krista Sloan is a feisty redhead with a heart of gold. As a physical therapist she gives 110%. With a reputation for being the best at pulling no punches when it comes to recovery, Krista thrives on restoring her patients to their former glory. But behind closed doors she still hasn’t been able to heal her own heart since it was shattered into a million pieces, ten years ago, by the only man she’s ever loved.

Chase Malone always had a love for music, and it showed in the way the sexy Adonis commanded the stage at every one of his sold out concerts. But his rock star status is hollow and incomplete because he can’t share it with his first true love. Every night that he sings to packed arenas, he sings to her, remembering the young love they shared and the night he had to leave her and his tortured past.

When an emergency calls Chase back to Harper’s Crossing, he’ll have no choice but to face that tortured past and all the ghosts that come with it. Will Chase be able to find his place again in the heart of the woman that sheltered him all those years ago? Will Krista be able to open her heart once again to the one man who owned her mind, body, and soul?

They’ll have to risk it all for their Crazy Love.

Book Description

Book Review

Okay, I'm on a roll here. I read these books back to back and am swimming in Harper's Cross characters. Now that the four Sloan brothers have found their matches, its time for their cousins, and four Sloan girls to be hooked up with their better halves. Sorry if I'm sounding less than enthusiastic, but Haley is a hot chick, and Eddie is a single dad with loads of baggage. I just thought She could do better, but it does help tie up lose ends when these two characters match up.

The general fairly tale with Haley getting her dream line in the shop was good, the chemistry between the sisters was very interesting, but the ex fiancee showing up was not so cool. At times I want to shake Eddie to make him realize what a good thing he's got going at home with his baby sitter cum friend. Still eventually they do manage to get together, but the book was not as much fun as the ones that came before it.

 Book Review

One night stands generally have a bad rap, but for Amber, it was a fantasy that came true. A strong, sexy man stood up for her and made her feel loved and secure. Then she bolted out of the door before morning came and she could ask his name. Over the years her "Mystery Man" became a kind of standard against whom she would measure all other men and find them falling short.

Seth is a hard man, a soldier, a damaged bag of goods he would not wish on any good woman. He may be returning to Harper's Cross as a decorated war hero, but his bum shoulder is not the only thing that's wrong with him. He finds his family now extended through marriage of his brother, overwhelming to say the least, but then he spots Amber - the one who got away.

Both Amber and Seth plan to do absolutely nothing about their mutual attraction, till she is found to be in danger. Someone is targeting Amber's shop, and home, and Seth plans to keep her safe, while he figures out who it is. Will their relationship progress when neither of them is willing to take the next step?

 Book Description

Jason Sloan is known as Harper’s Crossing’s resident Romeo, and he’s never had to work too hard to live up to that nickname. With his easygoing charm, whiskey-colored brown eyes, and sinfully sexy half smile, women just seem to fall all over themselves when he’s around.

Well...most women, anyway. Katie Lawson’s the one woman who isn't putty in his hands, and she's the only one he’s ever wanted in his arms.

Katie Lawson left Harper's Crossing in the middle of the night ten years ago, immediately after her high school boyfriend Nick's funeral. She left behind all memories of Nick, and she left behind her life-long best friend, Jason Sloan.

Now she's on the fast track to junior partner at one of San Francisco's top law firms. She's made a life for herself that's all about maintaining order and sticking to the rules. Rule #1 is keeping herself way too busy to think about all that she ran away from. If she can do that, after all, she can keep everything under control.

But that rule is about to be broken. She’s headed back home to be the maid of honor in Nick’s little sister’s wedding. It's time to face the truth she's been avoiding all these years, the same one that sent her running ten years ago - that maybe she didn't lose her first love the summer after high school. Maybe her first love has been waiting for her all this time, at home in Harper's Crossing.
