Daring Widow by Cerise DeLand

This is an interesting and intriguing storyline. The characters are very different from the usual lords and ladies, more forward thinking, less formal. Andre is a charming, romantic and determined man. Marianne is a strong, independent and stubborn woman. Andre falls for her immediately, but she wants nothing to do with any man. So he bides his time and becomes a friend to her, hoping to earn her trust. There is nothing conventional about their relationship, it's steamy, not completely secret and creative. There is some drama in the story, but it doesn't really affect Andre and Marianne. I enjoyed the story, even though it didn't keep my complete attention. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Roman's Choice by Rhonda Lee Carver

This is entertaining and romantic. The storyline is captivating and Roman and Pippa are likeable and fascinating. Roman is cocky, sweet, romantic, amusing and vulnerable. Pippa is shy, kind, stubborn and naive. There is an instant pull between them from the moment their eyes meet, but neither of them is ready to trust the others feelings. I really enjoyed reading this book and suggest that it be put on your TBR list. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Bank Robber's Baby hy Rachel Kane

This is sweet, amusing, entertaining and romantic. Travis is stubborn, caring and loyal. River is sweet, shy, naive and insecure. They are opposites in just about every way, but they're drawn to each other and make a good couple. Ray adds drama and angst to the storyline. I enjoyed reading it. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Mr. Darcy's Kiss by Krista Lakes

This is full of sweetness and drama. Mr. Darcy is pompous, suspicious, intense, charming and sweet. Lizzie is caring, sweet and stubborn. Mr. Darcy is a real jerk in the beginning, but Lizzie softens his heart. In the end it's actually a very romantic story. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Hidden Gems. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

The Longest Shot by Amanda Horton

This is amusing, engrossing, entertaining and enjoyable. Leon is determined, romantic and sweet. Diane is stubborn, dedicated and insecure. Each has their own issues involving the opposite sex, neither trusts, but both are drawn to each other. It's a romantic story, but the dog really steals the show. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

The Highlanders Dilemma by Emilia Ferguson

This is dramatic and suspenseful. The storyline is interesting, yet irritating. The only character that I liked was Conn. He's sweet, brave and determined. Leona is weak, naive and foolish. Her mother is beyond duplicitous. The adventure that Conn and Leona have is filled with pain and misery. I really didn't enjoy it. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Steam by MacKenzie Stowe

This is entertaining and amusing. Nate is a serious, determined and charming man. Eliza is tough, caring and vulnerable. Their romance begins with a sort of reacquaintance of friends. When fire ignites between them it catches them both by surprise. It turns out that Nate is really a sweet, romantic guy. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.

Rancher Daddy by Lexi Whitlow

This is romantic, steamy, sweet, dramatic and engrossing. Cam is cautious and insecure, yet strong and confident. Grace is sweet, caring, quiet and vulnerable. Cam wants a nanny only, not someone who would try to tangle him up with a relationship. But when Grace shows up, he's very drawn to her. Grace likes Cam, but was warned off. They have a complicated and stormy relationship, because neither can believe in forever. Emma is a little spitfire, she is smart, brave, confident and sweet. The storyline is filled with drama, love, tragedy, romance and special people. I loved it. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

My Time With The Duke by Ardith Hunt

This is intriguing and romantic. Melissa transitions into Charlotte effortlessly. Her romance with Cecil is sweet and captivating. At times it was a little tedious, but it didn't take away from the storyline as a whole. Normally I prefer my time travel romances to be amusing, but I did like this one. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Angel Heart Publishing. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Rugged Texas Cowboy by Lora Leigh

These are completely opposite stories. Cowboy and The Captive is entertaining, and romantic. Luc is stubborn, frustrated and amusing. Melina is sweet, kind, naive and snarky. While Luc does kidnap Melina, he's not out to hurt her. And finds himself so confused about his feelings, he can't think, he just takes Joe's word as truth. If I was Melina, I wouldn't forgive Joe. Luc and Melina perfectly compliment each other, and are an entertaining couple. Cowboy and The Thief is not romantic, not entertaining and not enjoyable. Jack is a class a creep and Angel starts as an amusing, fire-breathing nice girl, but Jack quickly turns her into a slave. The lore of the necklace is fascinating, and even going with the same characters, but without the BDSM, it could be an amazing book. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Texas Bride by Leigh Greenwood

This is amusing and dramatic. Owen is stubborn, bold, determined, funny and entertaining. Hetta is naive, easily led and stubborn. The conversations they have with themselves about love, fidelity and each other are fascinating, they try so hard to hate each that they're confused about why like like each other. I found Owen irresistible, just blindly doing and not knowing why. Add in the drama of rustlers and a traitor, and you have a great storyline. The supporting characters are lively and interesting. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

A Secret Scottish Christmas by Regan Walker

This is an interesting and entertaining story. Nash is chivalrous, reserved and sweet. Robbie is charming, bold and determined. Ailie is smart, independent, confident and carefree. The storyline has intrigue, romance, amusement and excitement. The interactions between characters is entertaining, sweet and warm. It's a great book. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Van by Sawyer Bennett

This is a captivating and brilliant romance. Van is cold and unfeeling, but also intriguing and interesting. Simone is bold, stubborn, headstrong and caring. I found Simone very irritating in the beginning, but as she and Van spent more time together she chilled and became likable and sweet. I never disliked Van, there was always something about him that pulled at my heartstrings. They both turned into amazing people. This is a book that belongs on your TBR list. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

A Cowboy's Forgiveness by Sophia Ryan

This is an intense, emotional, heartbreaking and tragic story. When Josh was young he was sweet and romantic, but focused on his career. As an adult, he is hard, cold and unfeeling. When Charleigh was young she was vulnerable and alone. As an adult she's tough, determined and protective. Betrayal and hurt broke them up, bribes and need brought them together again. But neither is willing to forgive the other. It's dramatic and entertaining when Josh interacts Charleigh, and sweet how Josh interacts with Derrick. Derrick is a character, he's bright and bold determined. The story made me laugh and cry, feel angry, sad and frustrated. The more I read, the more I was drawn in, I couldn't put it down.

But Parrish is not the same girl Hawk left behind. She's strong, independent, hardened and ticked off. Hawk comes back much the same as he left, but being around Parrish and his family changes him. He becomes sweet, caring, romantic and adorable. It's an engrossing and enjoyable story. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Mr. Gray by Hazel Parker

This is steamy, exciting, amusing, sweet and romantic, but also with just a touch of disturbing violence. Gray is cocky, fascinating, sweet and charming. Kate is tough, bold, snarky and amusing. There's an instant spark between them, but they want to be friends so they fight it. Until Kate poses as Gray's girlfriend. It gets much more difficult after that. There is drama from a girl that doesn't give up getting Gray, and issues with Kate's ex. It's a fun and entertaining story. And I absolutely LOVE Gray's issue, and how completely changes. This is a great series. If you're a race fan, especially a Nascar fan, it's a little confusing. But it doesn't take away from the storyline. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

The Billionaire's Secrets by J.S. Scott

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

The Lady, The Duke and The Gentleman by Abby Ayles

This is a sometimes ridiculous, sometimes romantic, sometimes irritating story, the characters are confounding, odd and harsh, the storyline drags on a bit too long, BUT it's interesting and engrossing. The end was a little shocking and sad, but much better than I had anticipated. I really like Mr. Perry, he is charming and sweet. Antoinette is young, naive and unable to think for herself. Duke Godwin is impossible to figure out. So it's not a bad story, it's just a bit much. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Maggie On The Edge by Kasey Michaels

This is entertaining, suspenseful, intriguing and amusing. I love how Alex came to be, it's brilliant. Alex is a perfect "gentleman" hero of the past. He's gallant, charming and protective. Maggie is a bit of a scattering brain, but she's smart and interesting. The storyline is engrossing most of the time, but at times it does drags a bit. It doesn't take away from the story as a whole, it just slows you down a little from getting to the next good part. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

A Beauty For The Scarred Beast by Bridget Barton

This is ultimately sweet and romantic, but Isabella took too long to confront her fears. Elliot is a kind and captivating emotionally and physically scarred man who is lonely and guilt ridden. I liked Isabella, but thought that her issues with Elliot's face were too extreme. It would be uncomfortable to look at him in the beginning, but only because a caring person could not help but feel sympathy for anybody with burns on their person. It really wasn't that big of a deal. I did like the book though, it was sweet. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Hidden Gems. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Deadlocked Dollhouse by Mixi Applebottom

This is intense, creepy and suspenseful. I loved the storyline, but didn't care for the characters. Mark is a nice guy, but he's weak. Kelly is a selfish, silly and unfeeling person. The one thing that ruined the story for me was the constant referrals to the abuse cycle. The cycle is a choice, you can do what your parents did, or you can do what you wish they had done. And not providing well, and not being perfect have nothing to do with it. If it wasn't for this aspect of the story, it would have been brilliant. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Doctor's Fake Fiancee by Charlize Starr

She's just what MT needed, and they're a special couple and I loved their story. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Forsaken Trails by Bonnie R. Paulson

Emotionally this is almost as hard to read as everything with Nate and Emma. At the very beginning I lost all the warmth and respect that I had for Jareth and Kyle for the way they treated Ruby when she showed up on their doorstep. I don't think I could forgive them. Ruby and Sloan stole my heart, they are both so wounded and vulnerable yet strong. It's a beautiful story of love and angst. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

Endless Trails by Bonnie R. Paulson

This is intense and sweet. Ryland is serious, loyal, thoughtful and caring. Amy is alone, vulnerable and sweet. They are very timid around each other, Amy not wanting to get attached, Ryland not sure of what he's feeling. Interactions with Nate are still hard and Damon surprised me. This book is not as emotional, but just as dramatic as the others. I'm liking each cousin better than the ones. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

This is a dramatic story that isn't as sad as the last book. Jareth is serious, lost and restless. Cyan is bold, stubborn and uncomfortable. Jareth suddenly finds himself totally enchanted by a woman for the first time, even though they're on opposite sides of a serious issue. And then he shoots her. Cyan doesn't like the things that Jareth does, but she can't stop thinking of him, or liking him. Lies, omissions and attraction control the relationship between them, to bring them closer, but also push them apart. It's a captivating storyline with some likable characters, and a couple not so likable characters. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

The Christmas Cowboy Hero by Donna Grant

This is sweet, romantic, emotional and charming. Clayton is emotionally closed off, but kind, caring and generous. Abby is emotionally damaged, strong, sweet and insecure. The storyline is captivating, the characters are extremely likable and but the past is very sad. The heartache they all have endured slowly heals them , each in their own way.

Kane by Sinclair Jayne

This is romantic, sexy, amusing and fast paced story. Kane is a demanding and determined man. But he's also smart, sweet, loving and romantic. Sky is naive, foolish, stubborn and shy.

Colt is an intriguing character, he is so caring and natural with Montana, but has the air of being ultra tough. This is a must add to your TBR list. I received a complimentary copy of this book from LibraryThing. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
