The best book that I read this month
I do not know how Ms. Melissa Foster writes a new book and the story is unbelievably so amazing after the next. Caught By Love is one of the best books that I read this month.
The chemistry between Archer and Indi is so strong. It will not blow your emotions away but also your Kindle. It is not only sizzling but it is more than that. The emotions are so real. I loved how adorable these two, from their passion not only for each other but with their work and family, is beyond a treat to read.
Archer can put any man down. He is extremely romantic despite being stubborn. This guy is legit. I enjoyed reading this book and how beautiful their story is. My favorite part is achieving your dreams despite all the hassles in the world.

Young Annie Oakley never expected to be saddled with responsibility so soon.

I was wondering how this feisty woman become a star. I am so glad that finally, I read the beginning of how sweet Annie became famous.
I admired Annie, at a young age, she is very independent, unique, and willing to sacrifice her life to keep her family survived. Being poor is not so easy especially at a young age who is a breadwinner. Annie is so remarkable and very inspiring. She is an animal lover who is willing to defend the rights of animals especially Buck the horse.
This sequel is what I needed to admire of this famous shooter's childhood and her family from the beginning. My hats off to Annie for being a fighter, witty, hard worker, and above all standing for justice. Ms. Kari Bovee is amazing at writing this series. I loved reading the series and looking forward to what is next to Annie's adventures.

When it rains, it pours
I enjoyed reading this short story. It is short but it is the best book that I read this year. If I could give it 10 stars and I would.
I seldom cry while reading a book but I did sob with this emotional story. Life indeed is no guarantee. One day you are up and the next day you are down. When it rains, it pours. It is the reason that we should always be kind and humble.
There are some good people out there like Jacob and his family. I would do the same. There are gifts that cannot be found or buy anywhere in the store. At the specific moment in that story, I sobbed. The tears in my eyes will not stop falling. It doesn't help that my Mom is halfway around far away from me.
Ms. Kathleen Shoop delivered the best book and Christmas for me and all her readers with this book. Please get your Kleenex ready. Trust me, you will need a box.

"Terrific holiday story with well-defined characters and a setting that could have been any big city in the 19th century. Ms. Shoop’s novella reflects the good in human nature."

An emotional and sexy novel about guarded hearts, finding love, and families lost and found by Melissa Foster, the New York Times bestselling author of Maybe We Will.
After spending years wondering who she was, tattoo artist Cait Weatherby finally found her answers on the sandy shores of Silver Island. With two half sisters she never knew existed, a group of friends she adores, and a devastatingly charming admirer who flirts with her at every turn, she’s ready to figure out her next steps. The trouble is, Cait lives in the shadows of a dark past, and she can’t afford complications that might cause her to lose the family she’s only just found―complications like blue-eyed boatbuilder Brant Remington, who is as open as she is guarded. If only the sexy charmer would take the hint…
Brant is Cait’s opposite in every way, but he’s drawn to everything about the sexy newcomer―from the quiet strength that rivals the caution in her mossy-green eyes to her tough facade that he can’t wait to strip away.
As Brant works his magic, Cait’s walls come down. But as sweet as that feels, Cait knows how quickly good things can turn bad. It’s going to take more than a little trust to beat the ghosts of her past and claim the future they both deserve.

The power of fighting for survival
This is another outstanding book from Ms. Melissa Foster. The story is so powerful. It breaks your heart into million pieces but it is back up and beating as new chapters reveal.
Cait and Brant's love story is another beautiful book from this series. A strong stubborn woman and a man who is so resilient to capture a woman of his dreams plus a dog that will make everything more exciting. Facing your past to end that difficult chapter is not easy but Cait did it. She is my favorite character in this story.
This book will make you cry, laugh, and fall in love with these two characters that are so perfect for each other. Once you start reading, you could never put it down. I do not know how does Ms. Melissa Foster writes stories each time that makes her readers so wild crazy-in-love with her characters. This is a must-read.
