Forget Me Not (Loveless and Dunn Series Book 3) by Erika Marks Review

Synopsis:

When aspiring-writer Mallory Reynolds packed up for New York City, she ditched more than her quiet hometown of Magnolia Bay—she left her high-school sweetheart, Josh Loveless, behind. But when the big city didn’t deliver big contracts on her novels, she turned to writing erotica under the pen name Farrah Ivory to spare her family any embarrassment. Soon, her scandalously-sexy series, The Lost Diaries of Scarlet, is a break-out hit. Just as Mallory begins to enjoy her sweet success, her publisher leaks her true identity and a media firestorm ensues. Exposed, she decides there’s nowhere to hide—except for home.

For Josh Loveless, getting over Mallory Reynolds hasn’t been easy, but he’s done his best to move on. For starters, he’s turned his love of the outdoors and rock-climbing into his own business. And just as things are starting to settle for him, he learns Mallory’s coming home to ride out her scandal, and suddenly his world is turned upside down again…

Can Mallory convince her friends and family that she’s still the same good-hearted girl they knew? And more importantly, can Josh trust the woman she’s become, and give her a second chance to rewrite their love story with a happy ending?






My Review:

Sometimes going back home isn’t always what you expect.  Plans can turn in an instant.

Mallory Reynolds left Magnolia Bay five years ago to go to NYU for a writing course.  Since then she has made it big writing an erotic romance book.  It isn’t what she originally wanted to write, but it has made her some good money.  The book gives her instant publicity which she isn’t quite ready for.  She needed to get away from New York City and go back home until the dust settles and she can leave the house without being recognized. 

When Mallory left Magnolia Bay, her boyfriend Josh Loveless, didn’t want to go with her.  He had plans of opening an outdoor sporting goods store.  She hasn’t seen him since she left.

Now that Mallory is back at home, she decides to see Josh again.  They decide to give their relationship a second chance.  Several things happen to come between them.  Will they be able to work through them or will it send Mallory running back to the city despite their love for each other? 

I always enjoy the Magnolia Bay books.  The characters are fun to read and the stories are interesting. 

Bride by Mistake (Montana Born Brides Book 3) by Nicole Helm Review

Synopsis:

Wedding fever has hit the little town of Marietta…

And Kaitlin Shuller’s groom is marrying someone else.

Worst day ever. The man of her dreams is making vows to another woman. Her heart is broken, and all her carefully laid plans destroyed. Enter Beckett Larson, her older brother’s best friend and a very good bad decision.

Beckett has spent his life trying to outrun his bad reputation, but everyone already thinks the worst of him, so when Kaitlin offers herself to him — virginity and all— he just can’t say no.

But one night together has permanent consequences, and this time Beckett knows he can’t outrun his bad boy reputation. He’s determined to make Kaitlin his bride…even if he has to seduce her down the aisle.



My Review:

A one night stand with a twist.

Kaitlin Shuller didn’t want to be at her sister’s wedding.  After all, she was marrying the man Kaitlin always dreamed about.  But it was happening and there was nothing she could do but accept it.

Beckett Larson was always the bad boy in school.  All the girls crushed on him.  Kaitlin was a good girl and she tried not to notice him even though he was her brother’s best friend. 

The night of Sierra’s wedding, Kaitlin can’t stand it any longer.  She asks Beckett to take her away from there.  After a couple drinks at Grey’s Saloon, Kaitlin decides she is ready to shed her good girl image.  She wants Beckett in her bed.

One night of passion leads to more than they ever expected.  Kaitlin ends up pregnant.  How will work through this situation?  Will Beckett stay by Kaitlin’s side or leave town like he always does when things get tough? 

This is a really good story.  Both characters were a bit stubborn so it was fun to see how they work through their differences.

Where There's a Will (Whiskey River Book 1) by Katherine Garbera & Eve Gaddy Review

Synopsis:

Where There’s A Will…

Sexy attorney Ryder Ford always knows exactly what he wants and how to get it. But Addison Wells, his gorgeous secretary, is one woman he wants but can’t have. Or can he? One scorching, unforgettable kiss under the mistletoe is all that either have allowed. Addison is focused on her studies and becoming a lawyer herself and she plans to leave the dust of Whiskey River behind. Unless…

There’s A Way…

Addison has mastered ignoring her hotter than sin boss until one stormy day when a threatening tornado forces them to find shelter from the storm. Despite the fact that Addison is weeks from moving to another city, she finds herself breaking her own “no office romance” rule. She’s not meant to settle down—but how can she resist someone as persuasive and tempting as Ryder? She’s determined that he should be her going away present but will Ryder let her go that easily?



My Review:

A sexy prequel to the new Whiskey River series.

As an employee, Addison Wells has always been off limits to Ryder Ford.  He crossed the line once at the Christmas party when he kissed her under the mistletoe, but he hasn’t touched her since then.  Will he be able to keep himself under control while they are huddled together in an office closet during a tornado warning?  Things could get very interesting.       

This short story will get you ready for the rest of the series.  I liked the characters and can’t wait to see how they develop through the rest of the books.
