Then Came Love (The Bradens & Montgomerys: Pleasant Hill - Oak Falls Book 9)


NEW RELEASE........
Blazing heat, laugh-out-loud humor, and an abundance of swoon-worthy moments make this sexy standalone romance by New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melissa Foster unputdownable. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and guaranteed to leave you breathlessly in love with the fiercely loyal and wickedly naughty Bradens. 

What happens when you find your soul mate but she belongs to someone else? 
Months ago, famed wedding-gown designer Jax Braden met the woman of his dreams when a bride-to-be came in for a consultation. He’s tried to move on, but there is no forgetting beautiful, smart, and refreshingly real Jordan Lawler, or the loneliness she cleverly tries to hide. When Jordan hires him to design her wedding gown, Jax knows he’s in trouble, but he cannot walk away. As business meetings turn to late-night confessions, their connection deepens, igniting passion too strong to deny. They’re drawn into an inescapable and forbidden love. Loyalties are tested and hearts are frayed, but neither will cross that invisible line in the sand. Come along for the sexy, emotional ride as Jax and Jordan face their toughest competitors yet—their hearts.

My newest favorite book by the author

The best book ever for me by Ms. Melissa Foster. It is my newest favorite book of hers.

Wow! The emotions of this story are so unreal. It gives me goosebumps upon reading this epic story of betrayal, sorrow, loss, and love. I enjoyed reading every chapter of this book. New York City is one of my favorite cities in New York State. The author did a fantastic job in that scene.

Love works each magic where you cannot imagine it will happen at the right time. This book is hard to put down. Once you start reading, you are doomed. You might need a box of tissues not because it is a tear-jerker and also laugh out loud moments. Prepare to be amazed at the author's writing. She will be blown you away.

Maybe We Won't (Silver Harbor Book 3) Book by Melissa Foster


Maybe We Won't (Silver Harbor Book 3)
Embracing Her Heart (The Montgomerys Book 1) by [Foster, Melissa]

A sexy and soul-stirring novel about love, family, and rediscovering what matters most by Melissa Foster, the New York Times bestselling author of Maybe We Will

When workaholic Boston attorney Deirdra de MessiĆ©res is passed over for a well-deserved promotion, she takes a two-month hiatus to show her boss just how much he needs her and heads home to Silver Island. But beyond seeing her sisters happy, home is not where Deirdra’s heart is. She has no interest in their family restaurant, the Bistro, or reliving hurtful childhood memories, and absolutely no interest in spending a single second with Josiah “Jagger” Jones, the Bistro’s too-laid-back musician and chef. Sure, the hippie is hot, but he drives her nuts. The guy lives in a van with his dog, and he can’t even commit to a solid work schedule. To make matters worse, he’s always around. She needs to get off the island, stat. 

Jagger has overcome his own personal trials to place stock in life’s pleasures: family, friends, peace…and if he has his way, one positively beautiful, absolutely uptight attorney. Jagger knows he’s the perfect person to help Deirdra deal with her hurtful past and find her way back to being happy. 

A chance encounter leads to deep conversation, and night after liberating night, Deirdra lets down her guard. But neither has plans to stay on Silver Island. Free-spirited Jagger has wanderlust, and Deirdra has a career to return to. They’re on different paths, and plans for a future together don’t stand a chance. But when has anything gone according to plan?

I rated this book 5 *****'s

Opposite attracts

I enjoyed reading the story of Deidra and Jagger but I don't want it to finish.  Their story is so unusual, definitely opposite attracts. I take my time reading this book that I even forgot to leave my review on time.

It is so good. It is emotional and above all, it enlightens you like a moth in a  flame. I enjoyed the attraction between the two main characters. They are meant to be. I loved how witty Deidra is. I loved when she let her guards down and enjoy life with her sisters. I seldom cry while reading a book and definitely I did with this story. It is beyond beautiful. 

The power of letting go, acceptance, and forgiveness is a fantastic thing. Diedra is one woman who is so inspiring in so many ways. I am so happy she found her happy ever after. Ms. Melissa Foster, I do not know how you do it, but you are one amazing author.

Book Description:

In this humorously touching novel by the critically acclaimed author of Degrees of Love, a woman is blindsided when her high school sweetheart abandons her after eighteen years of marriage.

At sixteen, Kimberly Kirby thought the only thing she needed to be perfectly happy was to spend the rest of her life with Jay Braxton. Twenty years later, she still believes it. As they proudly watch their daughter, Haley, graduate from high school, she imagines her life is as perfect as anyone could reasonably expect. Jay is a formidable attorney, she a freelance writer, and their love as strong as ever. With Haley heading to UC Berkeley in the fall, Kimberly fantasizes about making love on the kitchen table. She has no clue that Jay’s bags are already packed.

Now divorced and determined to squelch her love for Jay, she accepts a gig writing a sex and dating blog for divorcees. As the Virgin Dater, she is on the hunt for love. No-strings-attached nights with a sexy fireman and moving to San Francisco are just what she needs to boost her battered ego and mend her shattered heart.

But just as she falls hard for a talented young chef, Jay fights to win her back. Torn between her bold new life and the comfort of Jay’s strong arms, she questions if there is too much to forgive. The ten thousand I love yous that had passed Jay’s lips can’t be dismissed, but nor can her newfound freedom and the knowledge that her happiness doesn’t depend on Jay.

I rated this book 4****'s

This is how a second chance at love should be 

Marriage sometimes ends when one love is fading. Sometimes it ends when another person is involved with somebody else out of the marriage. It is sad but it is better than staying in an unhappy or loveless marriage. Sometimes second chance of love happens after the marriage ended too.

This is a beautiful story of love, family, and moving on. When young people married, the percentage of staying together is low.  The marriage ended in divorced and moving on sometimes is hard. I adore Kimberly. She is a riot, fashionista, good cook, and hilarious. I laugh out loud while reading. I liked this story and how it ends. I wish all failed marriages find their happy ending. I am sure that a lot of women can relate to situations like the book. This is an eye-opener. It is hard to put it down too.

House Beside the River Book by David Burnett


NEW RELEASE...
A coming-of-age novel with a strong heroine, a sweet love story, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. 

Running from vile rumors and merciless ridicule, thirteen-year-old Nicole Beaumont flees her home in Parsons Valley, Georgia. She leaves Chris behind, the boy who had been her best-friend-for-life, her soul mate, the one with whom she was supposed to spend her life, and she takes refuge at a boarding school in rural Pennsylvania. 

In the farming community in which she lived, almost any transgression could be tolerated, excused, or overlooked. Any transgression, save one that smacked of sex, and, according to rumor, that was exactly what she and Chris had done while lying on the bank of Parsons Pond. It was a lie, the worst part at any rate, but Chris̶ ̶ refused to deny the rumor. Never again, Nicole vows, will she trust another person as she had trusted Chris. 

Such vows can be difficult to keep, but Nicole perseveres. 

Then, she meets Richard. He seems different from the others. He accepts Nicole as she is. He keeps her secrets. When others doubt her, he stands in her defense. Nevertheless, even as they fall in love, the full story of what happened at Parsons Pond remains off-limits to him, and her memories of Chris, which tempt her, tugging her into the past, threaten to betray her.

Chris re-enters her life in a most unexpected way, and Nicole finds herself emmeshed in a deadly game that pits Chris, the boy she once loved, against Richard, the man who loves her, now, a game from which only one will emerge unscathed. Nicole faces an impossible decision. Which will she choose? Who will live? 

House Beside the River is a romantic, true-to-life coming-of-age novel featuring a violent culture, a strong woman, and a sweet ending. Buy House Beside the River today!

My favorite book by Mr. David Burnett

I read many books by Mr. David Burnett and so far this is my favorite book of his. The story is so different from his previous books so far. This one is extremely good.

It is exceptional. It is suspense. It made me edgy on the couch. It is so good and hard to put it down. Vengeance indeed is so sweet. Nicole is my favorite character. I loved her feistiness, her witty, and above all her strong character. The cover is so beautiful too with an amazing story to devour for.

The sacrifice she had to endure is so worth it in the end. She has an amazing job and very scary and almost cost her life to find justice. I recommend this book who likes to read suspense.

Crazy, Wicked Love by Melissa Foster (The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside)


Scorching heat, laugh-out-loud humor, and swoon-worthy moments abound in this sexy new standalone romance by New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Melissa Foster. 

What happens when the player gets played? 

Sidney Carver has a big problem, and he goes by the name of Dwayne “Gunner” Wicked: six-plus feet of muscular, motorcycle-riding, animal-loving deliciousness. Gunner is her boss, roommate, and best friend. They’ve seen each other through life-altering injuries and unimaginable losses, and they work side by side at Wicked Animal Rescue, fulfilling their passion to save animals. Unfortunately, Gunner is also the man Sidney is in love with, and he's the ultimate player. As her former military comrade, Gunner sees her as his buddy—just one of the guys. Sidney is at her wit’s end, ready to risk the friendship and job she adores for a chance at forever love with the man she can’t live without. Like any good marine, she comes up with a mission. Enter Operation Get My Guy

Gunner loves his life. He has a family he adores, a brotherhood that always has his back, and a host of willing women to warm his bed. As the owner of Wicked Animal Rescue, he saves lives and works with his best friend, Sid, the coolest woman on the planet. When Sid concocts a crazy plan to win his cousin’s heart, Gunner reluctantly agrees to be her wingman. 

Practices heat up as roommates become teammates. Let the wicked fun begin… No cheating. No cliffhangers. Guaranteed to melt panties and leave readers hopelessly in love with the sinfully delicious Wickeds. 

About The Wickeds: Dark Knights at Bayside 
Set on the sandy shores of Cape Cod, the Wickeds feature fiercely protective heroes, strong heroines, and unbreakable family bonds. If you think bikers are all the same, you haven’t met the Dark Knights. The Dark Knights are a motorcycle club, not a gang. Their members stick together like family and will stop at nothing to keep their communities safe. These men are wickedly alpha and intensely loyal, but they are not alphaholes.

I rated this book 5 *****'s 

Roommates should be like Gunner all the time

Ms. Meliissa Foster's books are so addicting. I do not know how she keeps her readers entertained and want more. Crazy Wicked Love is not an exemption.

This book is ahhhmazing. I cannot stop reading until the end. I even reread this book. Sidney and Gunner are insatiable for each other. It just takes a few people to move up their relationship from a roommate, best friend, and finally lovers. Then there are dogs too. This story is so hilarious, emotional, and above all so hot. I adored the bonding of Sidney with her father. I cannot ever experience that since my father went to heaven 17 years ago.

This story is so delightful in so many ways. You will feel the love, friendship, family, and love for animals. I hope to meet Ms. Melissa Foster one day soon. She is one of my favorite authors. She never lets you have a hangover with her books.

The Art of Traveling Strangers Book By Zoe Disigny


 

Join Us for this Tour from February 15 to Mar 7, 2022
Book Details:

Book Title:  The Art of Traveling Strangers by Zoe Disigny
Category:  Adult Fiction 18+, 272 pages
Genre:  Literary Fiction, Women's Fiction 
Publisher:  Subplot Publishing 
Release date:   February 2022
Content Rating:  PG13 + M for cursing (from a side character), reference to adultery, and discussion of AIDS. 
 

Book Description:

It’s the 1980s, and art historian Claire Markham reels from a series of heartbreaking losses. Desperate to escape her shattered reality, she becomes an art guide in Europe for quirky stranger Viv Chancey and embarks on a life-changing journey through the art-filled cities of Milan, Venice, Ravenna, Florence, Siena, Rome, and Paris.

Once abroad, Claire tries to hide her woes by focusing on Viv’s art education, but Viv—who is not who she seems—has a different learning experience in mind. Frustrated and wanting to reimagine her life, Claire embraces the idea of reality as illusion and finds herself slipping into the tales of art and history.

When threatened with one more crushing loss, Claire must learn from the spirit of her eccentric companion and the lessons from the art they encounter to take charge of her life or lose the most precious thing in it.

The Art of Traveling Strangers is a journey of self-discovery and personal empowerment inspired by the great art masterpieces of Italy and France. It’s a tale of female bonding and the amazing powers of perception. After all, reality, like art, is just an illusion.


I rated this book 4 ****'s

Business and leisure in one

I would love to be Claire in this story. The fun of traveling while working and getting paid at the same time is a dream come true. The only thing is I am clueless about art. 

This story is so educational. I am learning not only the famous sculptures but the famous place, popular food to munch and above all shopping. It must be awesome to be married to a guy that has a lot of money and let his wife have fun. Who does that? Viv is one lucky wife. 

This book is not only full of adventures but it has a heart too. It is very emotional. Two strangers helped each other to be strong, face their fears, and women let go of their past and face the future. 

This is one heck of a book to read. You will enjoy it the most if you are a shopaholic.
