⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Violet Abrams could be a professional bridesmaid… After seven times up the aisle and finding her long-time boyfriend in the arms of another at her sisters wedding, she decides to give up men and weddings for good! Now, she is taking a break from her life, staying with her sister in small-town Alabama when weddings and men keep coming back to her…

Well, not men, but man, one sexy fireman catches her eye and keeps coming to her rescue! Ford Maguire needs her help, so it’s time to rescue him! Ford has agreed to be the best-dude in his best friends wedding. The tomboy bride and Ford are in over their heads and need Violet’s expertise to pull this off. It doesn’t hurt that it means that they will have to spend a lot of time together planning this wedding!

Ford and Violet bot have issues from their past relationships and families that pulls them apart.Trust issues factor heavily in this romance where both have been burned in the past. As Ford and Violet move forward and grow, they both see that the other might just be the piece that’s been missing all along.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I was able to root for both Ford and Violet. They were genuinely good characters that deserved their happily ever after. Ford was the hero that dreams are made of and his adorable litter of puppies just made him that much more lovable! This was. Fun, light read and I highly recommend it!

The Art of Taxidermy

by Sharon Kernot I didn’t know what I was getting when I picked out this book. When I first opened this book and started to read, I was pleasantly surprised. The author, has written this novel in verse and the flow of the writing really goes with and helps tell the story. The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley.

The Outlaw's Daughter

The Outlaw’s Daughter Haywire Bride Series #3 by Margaret Brownley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 A year old stage robbery has brought Texas Ranger, Matt Taggert to the small town of Haywire. While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children. Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms! This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...

Here to Stay

Here to Stay by Adriana Herrara ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Adrianna Herraara has a remarkable way of capturing the personality and spirit of her New Yorker characters… even when they aren’t in their native New York! The friendships created and the corresponding camaraderie are what stood out to me the most in this book. It was fun to watch these ex-pat New Yorkers come together in their new home and bond. As for the romance, I found it a bit forced. Julia is on a dating sabbatical and not looking for a man… Rocco is only in Dallas working fro the men trying to cut funding and close Julia’s charitable foundation that she works for.

I found it hard to get behind their romance. On another side, I really enjoyed the representation of the charitabl...
