Review: Charlotte by Lisa Helen Gray

Charlotte by Lisa Helen Gray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Charlotte has always wanted one thing, a happily ever after and when she meets someone she knows she is settling but as he gets aggressively worse and she finds out the truth about him she is devastated. Meeting Drew is a surprise and she quickly finds herself making a friend she never expected. She is healing but something about him has Charlotte wondering if she deserves a second chance at love.

This was amazing, a definite tearjerker. I wanted Charlottes book for awhile as she seemed the most vulnerable in some of the other books that I was curious to see where her story would take her. I was not disappointed and I loved Drew, he is perfect for her. Love the antics of the other Carters. Terrific series.

Luke by Cee Bowerman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luke returned home to be embraced by his brothers in the Texas Kings MC, as well as going into business owning a gym with his brother. He knows his past has damaged him and he still has PTSD he is dealing with, knowing this he knows he will never settle down with a woman. That all changes when Liberty Merida enters his gym, it is a meeting he will never forget and not in a good way. He wants Liberty, but she is young and he is not the right man for her. However Liberty sees it differently and friends quickly become lovers. Now he sees a future with the woman he loves but what happens when others around them seem to doubt what they have?

This was a surprise and had a plot twist I did not see coming and as a fan of all of this authors book I have to say it brought a realism to the story which I could easily see happen. Liberty is terrific, I have been a fan of hers since she was introduced. Luke is a gentle giant and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing him fall for Liberty. Fantastic story.

Review: Don’t Go Away Mad by Lacey Black

Don’t Go Away Mad by Lacey Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jasper knows he is demanding, the high turnover in his kitchen proves that but he wants perfection with every burger he serves. When he finds out that his former nemesis, Lyndee from college, is setting up a bakery across the street he is not pleased. He believes she is there to create havoc, he couldn’t be more wrong. Jasper can’t seem to stay away from Lyndee and the more he gets to know her the more he wants to sleep with her, but Jasper is not a relationship type of guy but could he be with Lyndee?

This was great, very different then the first book in the series. I thought this was a lot of fun and Jasper spends a lot of time in his head, he is driven but when he decides to take a chance with Lyndee you see a completely different side. Wonderful story.

Review: Bombshell by Jessica Prince

Bombshell by Jessica Prince
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Marin Grey has gone out of her way to avoid Pierce Walton, her ex’s brother. From the minute they met his cold glares and curt demeanor with her never left room for any other choice. Finding him in the cooking for singles class though she remembers how good looking he was but now that she is no longer with her ex she feels there is no reason to be on his radar.

Pierce has wanted Marin since the moment he saw her, but she was with his brother. Even though Pierce has no relationship with his brother, he still would never go there. As a widow he is busy focusing his time on work and raising his son but when he continues to have problems with babysitting he finds Marin offering to help. As much as he wants to stay away from her she is like a magnet and he needs to decide if they can be strictly friends or something more, the only problem he has though is can’t give her everything she deserves.

There is a lot to this story that deals with Pierce, Marin’s ex and the Pierces mother. Don’t want to divulge too much but this is more of a slow burn romance and it takes time to understand Pierce and how complex his character is. Marin is a hoot, she is a delight. Terrific beginning to new series.
