WILLOW ASTER’S LATEST!
Take This Heart (Windy Harbor Series Book 1)
WILLOW ASTER’S LATEST! I LOVE THIS AUTHOR!! SHE’S STUCK WORKING WITH HIM…
“…After an annoying, albeit sexy, encounter with Milo Lombardi, he’s the last person I want to see in Windy Harbor, Minnesota. Being in my favorite small town near Lake Superior with my family is my idea of heaven, and after clashing with Milo at an art event, and then kissing his face off right after – I’d be fine if I never saw the man again.
Even though he is sinfully gorgeous, and knows how to use those unforgettable lips.
But my dad has other ideas, and because he’s been dealt a blow that threatens to turn our family’s world upside down, I want to do what’s best and keep the peace. Which means, I’m stuck working on a project with Milo, all day, every day…”

READER RECOMMENDED ROCK STAR ROMANCE!!
I Dreamt That You Loved Me: A Love Story
BACK ON THE LIST ‘CAUSE EVERYONE IS LOVING IT!! SO MUCH THAT I ONE-CLICKED IT & —> I’M STARTING IT TONIGHT!!
ROCK STAR ROMANCE!! HER BEST FRIEND’S BOYFRIEND…
“…The first time I met my best friend’s boyfriend, he was rude to me. Sure, Gabriel Francis was all cheekbones and dishevelled hair with a voice that made women swoon and incited bidding wars with record labels. A pure drop of light in a sea of grunge. The soul of a romantic poet. None of that swayed me though. I didn’t trust rock stars. Besides, he was off-limits.
But as Annika’s infatuation grew, and we were forced to spend more time together, I became enamored with Gabriel, too. A friendship was forged, and we became each other’s muses. My art. His music. An artistic collaboration, nothing more. Until I heard the lyrics to his new song. So eerily familiar. And just like that, my dreams were shattered. Fate had done me dirty, and I tried my best to forget him...”
Cristina: When you’ve been reading for as long as I have, it takes a REALLY good book to give me a hearty dose of book hangover. I could not put it down, reading into the early hours of the morning, on a work night, mind you! It’s been soooooo long since I’ve done that…
…It had it all, rockstar romance, falling for best friend’s boyfriend, loss, self-discovery and second chances that culminated into this incredible and unforgettable love story.
It was beautifully written, beautifully paced and WOW did it crush my heart into two and weave it back together. And BOY did I feel my heart crush. It’s unlike anything that I’ve read in a very long time. I think this is a book that you would really love, so I am recommending it to you and everyone else. 5 PLUS stars!!
Linda: I clicked this baby when it came out! Saving for beach read next week! Love seeing great reviews from other sister readers!
Virginia: I heard this book was fantastic!
Melissa: I just started it!!!

READER RECOMMENDATION!!
California Dreaming Series
READER RECOMMENDATION!! SAMANTHA LOVED THESE!!
A lover who disappears. A best friend who takes his place. A girl who desperately loves them both.
Samantha: California Dreaming, another trilogy but so so good. This starts off with When there was us by K.C.Lake, it’s set in the 80’s old school, (took me back) a romance between three people, not a RH but very, very angsty. I am so looking forward to reading book three in this series when it releases as it is brilliant! The twists and turns in this series!
I think although a different series of books they are all exceptional.
Thanks for reading!

READER RECOMMENDATION!!
Happily Ever Never
MARGIE HAS ANOTHER READER RECOMMENDATION & BARGAIN FIND!! BETRAYAL & GROVELING ALERT!
“…The moment their eyes met, everything changed. She knew he was the one – he was the happily ever after she deserved. Five years into their two-year plan, Ryan finally popped the question. The moment was everything Janna had dreamed of. She had the man, the ring, the wedding date, the house, the career and the plan for 2.5 kids living in suburbia bliss.
Everything was just as she’d always dreamed, designer dress and all. Everything she’d ever wanted was within reach. Until it wasn’t…”
Margie: …it’s a terrific book: Happily Ever Never by Andrea Nourse. About 300 Amazon reviews, so I wasn’t sure if you had picked up on it yet.
The mfc is great…strong but has some entertaining quirks. The book is like an onion with layers…the hints that all isn’t probably what is really going on are tantalizing. The book is really hard to put down once you start. And the ending is truly fitting. I really liked it.

READER RECOMMENDATION
Trusting Skylar (Silverstone Book 1)
READER RECOMMENDATION – NANCY LOVED IT!! SHE’S STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD…
“…When kindergarten teacher Skylar Reid calls for help while stranded on the side of the interstate, the attraction is instant. The problem is Bull’s career has jaded him. Skylar’s innocent, and he wants to keep her that way.

When Skylar faces threats that have nothing to do with Bull’s job but are just as deadly, the stakes are higher than ever...”
Nancy: It became quite an attraction of Bull to this woman named Skylar Reid, and Skylar could not help but notice how handsome and how he’s worrying a lot about her, Bull had never been attracted to someone the minute he’d first met a woman. They both were goners for each other. Yet, nobody is that perfect!!

READER RECOMMENDATION!!
Trusting Taylor (Silverstone Book 2)
READER RECOMMENDATION!! NANCY 5-STAR LOVED IT!!
“…Beautiful, smart, and witty Taylor instantly falls for the mysterious tow truck driver, who comforts her both in the aftermath of the car crash she sees firsthand and when the police dismiss her as a credible witness because of her prosopagnosia, or face blindness.
Eagle, on the other hand, can remember every person he’s ever met—and the two counterparts forge an immediate connection. But someone else is just as intrigued by Taylor’s unique condition as Eagle is…and his intentions are downright deadly…”
Nancy: …a Romantic Suspense & tragic encounters. Story starts with young woman with prosopagnosia, and if you don’t know what that is neither did I. It’s called face blindness too. She’d had just witnessed a car accident, but they didn’t think with her not being able to be a good witness, and they had other witnesses that could see faces. A good man saw her standing alone & looking lost. His name is Kellan Trowbridge, or nickname was “Eagle”, and he approached the police officer to find out her name and her side of the story.
…Unfortunately, there’s a cruel & awful human being, also interested in Taylor and her unique condition, and up to no good.”

DARK ROMANCE TRILOGY RECOMMENDATION!
Descent To Darkness Series
DARK ROMANCE TRILOGY RECOMMENDATION! SAMANTHA LOVED IT!
“…Darkness has found its way home. Seeped into the concrete and weaved its way into every depraved corner. Something that used to be as simple as staging a few arrests, taking a few lives, and confiscating some product has turned into something much more sinister. There are bigger players in every direction they look. More mysteries and connections than they ever thought possible. Entangling even the most innocent of lives.
The city’s government has abandoned its people. Leaving Devil’s Hands as their only salvation. The population can only hide behind their ignorance for so long, and now that the threat is growing, there is only so much that can be swept under the rug…”
Samantha: Descent into Darkness by Winnie Brooks an almost vigilante set of books book three not out yet but I highly recommend this debut author.
