1. Loved it - Hate for this series to come to an end. Fell in love with Tori and Gray though it’s really hard to pick a favorite in this series because I loved all Four. Wish there could be a follow up to see how all the Tremaines are coming along with their business and families and to see which of the Tremaine brothers won the Honeymoon baby bet. Did Tori and Gray have a boy, girl one of each or identical twins?

2. The Sheriff and the Cowgirl - Gray and Tori's book is finally here! I must say I did appreciate how the author released this series with a short wait in between. From the very first book, I wanted to know what was going on between Gray and Tori. And with each book that followed my curiosity only grew. Lifetime friends since childhood, Gray always loved Tori. He fell in love with her as soon as he understood what that truly meant. And while Tori also loved Gray, she was slow to catch up. In fact, for so many years, Gray put her feelings first. He was so generous of heart and selfless when it came to Tori. That said, Tori was a likable character but I did not like how she took Gray for granted, over and over. And it took nearly losing him for her to realize her true feelings and how selfish she has been. This was not and easy relationship. Gray had finally come to the conclusion that he needed to let her go. She was too focused on her career and Gray didn't want to be taken for granted any longer. I loved him from the first three books so I understood it might be time to let Tori go. However what I didn't connect with was the back and forth; that despite his resolve to stay away he kept showing up. That gave the story more angst than I like. In addition, I felt that Tori and Gray were not the people I thought I knew from the previous books. I guess I was just expecting a sweeter story. The Tremayne family was a constant and that helped break up a bit of the angst. I loved all the family members and it was rewarding to catch up with their lives. In the end, Gray and Tori got their act together and I was satisfied how things turned out. They became the couple I always believed they would be albeit the few bumps in their road to forever-after. I loved this series and definitely recommend it. This is an author that I have read and enjoyed for a long time. While I received and advanced reading copy of The Sheriff and the Cowgirl, this is my honest and unbiased review and I thank you for taking the time to read it. :)

1. Very enjoyable - Love how Trey and Laurie meet. I totally enjoy stories with kids in them and Debra Holt does it well. This is a wonderful series that I wish could go on and on. Can’t wait to read Tori and Gray’s story next. This is a new author for me and I Don’t think I can go without checking out her other many books. The only thing that had me confused in this book was the typo error of Annie’s sister from the previous book . In the previous book Annie’s sister is Jesse and in this book they continually referred to her as Jamie. Jamie is Andy’s mom from book . Don’t understand how this typo was never corrected.

2. Heart stealing romance - Debra Holt’s third book, The Bronc Rider Takes a Fall, in The Tremaynes of Texas series really pulls at the heartstrings right out of the gate. Trey and Laurie’s story is filled with emotions that touch deeply, and keep the pages turning. There’s one thing that stands out the most for me with this author’s male characters and that is their abilities of expressing their true feelings and exposing their hearts…more than once Trey truly stole my heart when he was able to be true to himself while at the same time breaking down any barriers that challenged a future with Laurie and TJ. This was truly HEA that was hard fought and a joy to experience. This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

3. Romantic treasure - I have truly enjoyed each book in this series thus far. There are a multitude of emotions with a bit of angst added. The Tremayne family is one I have invested in. Each of the siblings are dealing with tragedy from their pasts in different ways. As I mentioned, the emotions are high and there are quite a bit a sad moments when reflecting the past. The author does a good job of giving you a front row seat to this family and their community of loyal friends. Trey and Laurie......
Trey is not one for settling down. He loves women but I wouldn't call him a womanizer. Trey believes he is not the type of man for settling down and having a family despite how much he loves his siblings and nephew. Trey has a heart of gold, a generous soul and all he needed was to meet Laurie and his way of thinking soon changes. Slowly and realistically, of course. Laurie is a single mother. Her background had a bit of a twist to it and I loved the originality. The relationship build between Trey and Laurie was slow and worth every minute of the anticipation I experienced while waiting for them to find their happily-ever-after. This book was truly enjoyable, refreshing and romantic and I highly recommend it. This whole series is amazing!. Each book can be read as a standalone but I recommend you start the series from the beginning. You won't be disappointed. While I received and advanced reading copy of The Bronc Rider Takes a Fall, my review is unbiased and of my own opinions. Thank you for taking the time to read it. :)

1. Cowboy Romance - this is the first book I read in the Forever Texans Series that I've read. Now I need to go back and read the fist books and catch up. Each book in the series is a stand alone book BUT it is always nice to have the back stories and know all the neighbors and all. So let me share a little with ya about this book. I could not stop reading this book one I started... from the first page until the last... Charlene Sands is one of those authors who writes a story you simply can't stop reading. Dakota and Colby were childhood friends and later he is her boss but she has a huge crush on him. Little does she know but sees her as more but you know men.... could there but more to his reason to not going after more than friendship? I love reading a real life situation told so well in such a great book. Love this sweet romance and I think you will as well.

2. Enjoyable read - This is a fantastic story of two people struggling to come to terms with their new feelings for each other while fearing they will lose the close friendship they have always had. Dakota and Cole have known each other for ever, Dakota has been in love with Cole for almost as long. She's finally ready to admit nothing will ever happen between them and start dating. This sends Cole into a tailspin of emotions. Thing is Colby has secrets. Secrets he needs to deal with in order to move on with Dakota. Will he lose Day for good when she finds out what kind of man he really is??? A heartwarming story I think everyone will enjoy. I highly recommend it.

1. Rife with emotion - Debra Holt’s second book, The Rancher Risks It All, in The Tremaynes of Texas series was rife with emotion that hit deep. From its onset Truitt and Amy’s story captured my heart…with the perfect mixture of angst and an intriguing backstory (both Truitt’s and Amy’s)l their relationship’s growth touched all the high points of the perfect romance…which left a lasting impression. Truitt’s vulnerabilities and Amy’s determination made for the perfect storm of a romance, and though the path to a HEA had its twists and turns, it made their story that much more interesting, and completely tugged on the heartstrings. This is one couple that won’t be forgotten now that their story has been finished. This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

2. Great series; highly recommend! - While I was reading the previous book in The Tremaynes of Texas series, Capturing the Texas Rancher's Heart, I knew immediately I wanted to know more about Truitt Tremayne. His character was quiet and I knew he had so much on his mind despite. And after finally reading The Rancher Risks It All, I can say without hesitation this book was worth the wait. In fact, this is my favorite so far. This series is filled with emotion, family loyalty, some angst and suspense. Truly an all-around, all-the-feels novel. I highly recommend this series. The author has been releasing each book with only a short wait. Believe me when I say how much I appreciate that. The blurb gives you a good idea of the premise. There is a bit of mystery regarding the heroine that unfolds as the story moves along. I really don't want to say anything to spoil your reading enjoyment of this book, so I won't. At the time of me writing this review, I have already had the pleasure of reading the third book in the series and that was a great book too. I will say it again...I absolutely recommend this series! While I received an advanced reading copy of this book, this is my honest and unbiased review and I thank you for taking the time to read it. :)

1. Really good small town, big family romance - Morgyn Montgomery and Graham Braden meet at a festival unaware that their families and friends know each other and possibly were planning to set them up :) On the outside they seem so much like opposites but together they compliment and completely support each other. I loved that this story was relatively low on angst and drama. It is a really good small town, big family romance. I listened to the story on audiobook and loved the dual narration by two awesome narrators. Definitely worth grabbing this one for a listen. - Stars!-
2020-07-02
2. Loved this Book! - Had the opportunity to listen to this book on Audible recently, I have to say I loved revisiting Morgyn and Graham! Virginia and Aaron were fantastic narrators, and I really to love when it's a male and female narrator playing each part, so it brings depth and personality to each character. Graham never wants to change a thing about Morgyn, and I love that about him. He just wants her to be the be version of herself possible. Swoon. And Morgyn needs someone like Graham in her life, to open her life to new possibilities and slowing her down a bit to look at things from new angles. Loved this audio book!

3. Trails of Love - Heart Warming!!!
I Love Morgyn & Graham So Much
Truly meant for each other What a Brilliant idea to put these Two Caring, Talented Family’s together!! The Wonderful Memories, Traditions, Aura & Love that holds this Book in your Treasured Memory Till the end and beyond:)
A MUST READ!! Thank you Melissa Foster for Sharing you EPIC Talent with us All:)
2019-01-17
4. Love reimagined - Graham and Morgan were meant for each other. They shared the same passion and love of life. Graham goes to a festival to spend time with his brother and meets Morgyn. Morgyn is a carefree girl enjoying herself at the festival, with her unique style and personality about life. They fall in love instantly and life only gets better. Great story.
2019-01-16
5. Overflowing with sweetness - Once again Melissa Foster delivers a read that I’ll be going back to reread over and over again with Trails of Love. Absolutely overflowing with sweetness and the kind of love that is what every romance reader dreams of. Morgan and Graham have a story that will fill you with so much feel good happiness you’ll feel like you’re floating on a cloud of joy while you read. Beyond that sugary sweet swoon Melissa Foster does so well you’ll also find heartwarming family and wonderfully moving moments that also bring a tears of happiness to your eyes. Typically when I pick up anything written by Melissa Foster it’s the heroes who always steal my heart, and while Graham certainly made me fall hard and fast it was Morgyn who really stole the show. Where Graham is every bit the sweet, sexy, dream man we all drool over Morgyn’s light shines so brightly that it’s impossible to not love her immediately. She’s one of my all time favorite characters and has one of the biggest hearts I’ve ever read. She’s so full of kindness, love, and generosity it’s inspiring. As I said though, Graham still had my heart going pitter patter constantly. He’s one of the best heroes out there, managing to be that strong alpha type while also not being controlling or trying to change the person Morgyn is. He loves her for exactly who she is and is flat out the most supportive book boyfriend I’ve ever read. I just can’t say enough how magnificent these two are together!
2019-01-12
6. Opposites really do attract! - I loved everything about this story! At first glance, Graham and Morgyn look like complete opposites. Graham plans out and assesses all risks involved in a decision, while Morgyn seems to leave everything to chance. When you dig deeper into their core values; helping others, family first, and their work hard/play hard motto you realize they are grounded in the same beliefs but they come at it from different angles. They are perfect complements to each other. They have an off the charts chemistry and instant connection. Since I have only read a few books in the series, I am not able to make some connections to the families represented, but it doesn’t take away from the story at all. Rather it makes me want to read all the other books that I have missed. Until next time... know it, trust it, accept it!

7. Cracker and Sunshine - While at a music festival with his brother, Graham stumbles across an enchanting woman. They lock eyes, but he loses sight of her until she sees him peeing outside. Taken by the dancing woman, Graham spends the evening getting to know Morgyn better. Morgyn is quirky, whimsical, free-spirited, and like a ray of sunshine. She breathes life and light into everything. Although he finds her free-spirited views different, he’s immediately attracted to her. Suddenly, coming to Oak Falls doesn’t seem so bad. Morgyn is all about tradition, love, auras, living life to the fullest, etc. Morgyn is disorganized, but highly creative, sheltered but yearns to help others. Morgyn owns a shop that specializes in one of a kind items created out of reclaimed materials. Morgyn’s creative, carefree personality is what captures Graham’s attention. As they spend more time together, they can’t imagine living life without the other. Their relationship is soon put to the test when Graham is offered a job out of the country.... I LOVED Cracker and Sunshine! I loved how two totally opposite, but the same people are so right for each other. This story is unique, entertaining, and makes you want to jump into the story and give Sunshine a big hug! If you’re looking for an insta-love, opposites attract, quirky novel...this is the one for you! I highly recommend this novel and can’t wait to see what’s in store for Morgyn’s sisters. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.
2019-01-10
8. MIT meets free spirit! - I always love to read a Melissa Foster story and this one didn’t disappoint! Graham was a swoon-worthy hero and Morgyn balances him in all areas! I love how they both always think about the other’s goals and how to help each other reach them. I can’t wait to see how they fix all the world’s problem!
2019-01-09
9. Enjoyable - This was an enjoyable read. Morgyn is one of those people that believes that things will happen as they are supposed to, she tends to float through life. Not in a bad way, but more of she handles life as it happens and doesn't worry about what the future will bring. Graham is a planner and risk assessor. They balance each other out and learn from the other. I loved the banter and love they had with each part of their family. It felt like a real couple would be when falling in love.
2019-01-09
10. Carefree and fun loving! - Melissa Foster’s Morgyn Montgomery is a unique character. She is carefree, compassionate and caring. I love that she lives her life marching to her own drummer. She has wonderful relationships with each of her sisters. Graham Braden is so much more than I first imagined when he met Morgyn. The confidence he exudes is typical of the Braden men. I felt myself cheering Morgyn and Graham on as I read and loved the feeling this book gave me as their relationship developed. Melissa Foster is the Queen of hot, swoony romance and this book has it all. stars for Trails of Love.

1. Theo and Claire are sweet and steamy - I really enjoyed this trilogy of connected standalones about the Hollingsworth sisters. This book was about Claire, the Perfect Princess, always doing what everyone wanted and expected but never getting to do what she wanted. When she finds out her fiancée is cheating on her, she cancels her wedding and heads to Montana to be with her sisters. There she meets former stuntman and current hotelier Theo. Theo is finished with his days in Hollywood and is ready for the quiet of the mountains. The first time he sees Claire, he is intrigued by her. They meet when Claire injures herself on a hike near the hotel he is renovating. She has started a bucket list and climbing a mountain was on the list. He offers to help her with her bucket list and they begin to spend time together. Being together builds the attraction between these two and leads to some steamy scenes. These two are wonderful together so Claire better decide to do what makes her happy and stop worrying about her parents. Also Theo speaks French which is super hot!! I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

2. To Rescue the Runaway Bride - I received a complimentary copy of this book from Booksprout and I am voluntarily reviewing it. First I just want to say that the author needs to continue this series. Find some cousins and tell their stories or another book with a double wedding for the twins?!?!?!?! I adored this story and wish I could have given it a higher star count than a mere . I was sad to see this series end but was looking forward to Claire's story. The author did a wonderful job and giving her the perfect foil for the "Perfect Princess". Claire comes to Marietta, MN before her older sister's wedding. She just broke up with her fiance, Matthew. Matthew had an affair with his secretary and was pregnant. The worst part, to Claire, he was going to have nothing to do with the child and just pay child support. Theo was a stuntman in Hollywood. A close friend and fellow stuntman was injured and it was a wake up call to Theo. After years he needed to leave. He had another friend who was an investor that helped him to buy a mountain lodge outside of Marietta. After the place being abandoned for two years, it just needed a little work but Theo has grand plans for the reopening. While Theo walks around town to get acquainted with Marietta, he spots an intriguing woman. He follows her into the florist and helps her pick out flowers for her soon-to-be married sister. The meeting between Theo and Claire was dynamic. The sparks just flew between them. I adored Theo and the support he gave to Claire. He was the ultimate male protagonist to me. I was so sorry to see this story end as well as the series. I would definitely give this a star recommendation to anyone over the age of . There were a few sexy scenes but nothing that was overly graphic in nature. Also while this was a part of a series, you really don't have to read the others, even as the characters make multiple appearances. I would highly suggest that you do read them as they are wonderful stories in their own right.

3. Loved - Claire Hollingsworth an accountant meets Théodore Deschamps ex stunt man turn rancher when she runs to re-evaluate her life. When these two meet the attraction is instant. This is book in the series and I had great fun reading it. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
2021-05-01
4. Taking a Risk - If Claire’s fiance hadn’t cheated on her and claimed he would just pay off his mistress and love child, I would have told her to dump him anyway. He made her change her herself to be a mold of what he wanted and give up things she loved like dancing. But he gave her a reason to run away to Marietta to be with her sisters. Theo is a sexy ex-stuntman with a gorgeous French accent, a wonderful cook, with an amazing library who becomes the perfect guy for Claire to have a fling with to get over her ex. She laughs with him and he encourages her to enjoy life and go for what she loves instead of settling for what others expect. I wish I had a bit of that courage in my own life. Of course the path to true love is not smooth, but what’s romance without a little drama.

1. Fantastic Book - Montana Fire by Vanessa Vale is a great start to a new series. This was a story with a touch of suspense with a bit of mystery and definitely some sexy characters. A very well written story that just captures you from the very start. The characters are strong, independent, very lovable and sexy. A wonderfully fun and entertaining story in a small town, with one hot firefighter and one sexy mother of two, her boss who is a bit crazy and entertaining Goldie who is a hoot. I absolutely loved this great book and I highly recommend it, a story you won’t want to miss a must read. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

1. Coworker’s clash - oworker’s clash
This second book of the Light My Fire Series based in Willow Brook Alaska brings us some heat between fellow firefighters Paisley and Russell. When Paisley moves into town and applies for a job at the fire station the captain is impressed and wants her to join their squad but the Russell the chief is against it but the captain hires her anyway. These two definitely clash but when they wind up sharing a place to live will things change?
Another wonderful journey to Alaska written by this great author. Russell and Paisley’s story is sweet, sexy and funny. Great second book to the series but can be read as a standalone.
2021-10-22
2. Love this book - The Hold Me Now is an exciting, heartfelt and a steamy story. Russell and Paisley are hot shot firefighters as well as roommates and they have sexual tension that is sizzling hot. I love revisiting the small town of Diamond Creek and the charming characters in the story. This is a heartwarming story well worth your time to read the book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

3. Love this couple - voluntarily read an ARC of this book and am leaving a review. Loved this enemies to lovers type story. Russell can’t seem to say or do the fright thing when it comes to Paisley. He’s never had a problem with women firefighters but there’s something about Paisley that sets him off. Paisley for her part can’t stand Russell’s attitude towards her and can’t seem to get past it. When the I think happens and they end up as sort of roommates, all bets are off. They slowly get to know a different side to each other and while Russell keeps putting his foot in his mouth, he can’t help but wonder what Paisley is hiding. Talk of her family always makes her sad and secretive.
You’ll love this slow burn, hot chemistry romance. It has some twists you won’t believe, but you will definitely love this couple and be rooting for them!

4. They definitely tried to deny their feelings! - . Stars This is book in the Light My Fire series and it features Paisley and Russell. These two went from an unknown, unreasonable dislike for each other to a sizzling hot romance. It was watching them go from one point to the next that was so entertaining. They fought the good fight but it just was meant to be. Alongside this emotional story line there is a little mystery and suspense. I’m always curious to see how far loyalty to family will go. The characters are fantastic as always. We get to visit with characters from past books set in the same town, which is always great. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this highly entertaining series.

1. Best out of all the books - John & Mila what a terrific pair. This book is my favorite book out of all of them. I was so emotional from start with the letter about mazie until the very end. I cried and I laughed numerous times. I can’t put into words how much this book affected me but it has and I’m grateful for it. The relationship between them was so organic & I just loved each of their characters and backgrounds. I’m also glad Kennedy Fox didn’t push the whole DILF aspect or make him too sad either. Each aspect surrounding the mother & johns life were kept separately which I liked. This book was honestly amazing I wouldn’t change a think, I almost wish it was a duet.. Somebody send me my own personal John Bishop please!

1. Start at Book (Catching the Cowboy) - While Book , Hitching the Cowboy, gives you the basis of characters and sets up the conflict for Book , Book has better plot and character development. I actually probably should have started with the Bishop Boys series to have been better invested in the Book here. Hitching the Cowboy would have been a DNF had I not pushed through and skimmed over the first chapters. Finally got good around chapter for a minute but otherwise was surface-level: easy, light and boring.

2. Bishop Family is back! - Riley & Zoey meet in Vegas and it’s an instant connection! (remind you of anyone... his parents?!) Riley comes from Texas, an amazing supporting family and ranching! Zoey is from Arizona, her family is the exact opposite of Riley’s! Loved this story! It’s so easy to imagine yourself on the Bishop Farm and a part of the family! Can’t wait for the next story!
2021-03-23
3. Wow... - Love it!!! I liked the different spin on married in Vegas and finding love with no oops pregnancy, it was refreshing! Ready for the next book... already pre-ordered! Only problem I had with the book was when Riley and Zoey woke up from the “wedding night” they were staying at the Bellagio... but when the guys “arrive” in Vegas their hotel room was on Fremont street... Bellagio is on Las Vegas Blvd “The Strip” no where near Fremont Street. There’s no only pet peeve.

4. A Bishop Cozy Read! - I’m never surprised when I crack open a Kennedy Fox Cowboy Romance and immediately feel like I’m back at home. Which is ironic considering I dislike most Cowboy romances. But Hitching the Cowboy just proves how easily KF writes the best cozy reads! Zoey and Riley were the bees knees! This book definitely doesn’t have as much angst like their duets do, but it is just as much a page turner as every other book I’ve read by them! I love the instant yet genuine attraction between these two characters. The family aspect is forever string in the series and I may just love that the most! If you’re looking for the perfect read to curl up with my a fire while drinking hot apple cider with your dog in the late hours of the evening, Hitching the Cowboy is it!

5. So excited for the next generation! - So excited for the next generation! Riley and Zoey meet in Vegas and on a dare end up getting married! While there is definite chemistry between them, the realization of what they did the next morning hits them but there’s no time to talk about it because Riley has to catch his flight. Weeks later, Riley is served with divorce papers, and while reluctant to do so he signs them, only to be surprised when Zoey shows up at his doorstep wanting to explore where things could go between them. Zoey has always been the black sheep of her family, and even though her decisions have consequences, she wants to see where things go between them before calling it quits, so she travels to the Bishop ranch and gives things a go. This couple has such a great relationship it was such an easy book to read because of it! But when Zoey’s secrets come to light, it’s something that risks breaking them apart. Per usual with these authors, I loved the book and thanks to the secondary characters I can’t wait to get their stories either!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

6. Like father like son - This was quick, fun and steamy read. I absolutely
love that KF is continuing the Bishop
legacy. Let me tell you, Riley most assuredly lives up to the Bishop name. Honestly I was hooked from the beginning of this one, an accidental Vegas dare wedding was so, hysterically, Alex Bishop. I loved reading about a sort of rebel female lead like Zoey, too. Zoey is refreshing in the “doesn’t fit the mold” kind of way and the chemistry sizzles off the pages. Another stellar read, another wonderful trip to Circle B
2019-11-12
7. Love, Love, Love - I have never read a series about the second generation family members from a series I’ve read and loved. I’m so grateful for this and the chance to revisit the whole Bishop family as time has gone on. Circle B Ranch will always hold a special place in my heart and I’m so glad we get to revisit it as well as everyone who lives there. Riley Bishop is everything! He is so much like his father, Alex, and I loved every second of his story. When he takes his best friend, Diesel, to Las Vegas for his twenty-first birthday, Riley ends up married to Zoey, the woman he just met. Riley is the black sheep in her family, never feeling approved of or encouraged to do what makes her happy. When Zoey makes a surprise trip to the ranch to see if they have something real, not just a quick marriage in Vegas, neither of them are ready for how real and immediate their attraction and feelings are. I loved how they took things slowly to find out more about each other outside of their insane chemistry. Their journey to forever was not an easy one and there are some major bumps in the road and I couldn’t read their story fast enough. I am so excited to get my hands on Rowan and Diesel’s story! They have both already stolen my heart and I can’t wait to watch them navigate to a happily ever after! I hope we get a million more books set in this world with the Bishop family. I don’t want it to ever end! Grateful to have received a complimentary ARC copy to honestly review.

8. This book was sooooo great! Highly recommend - Welllll. We've heard the saying what happens in Vegas... Sometimes what you find in Vegas May Be exactly what you were looking for your entire life. Riley, River & Alex's (Taming Him) son... love his heart. Zoey, feels invisible in her own skin with a family that is constantly disappointed. Across a crowded club Riley sees who he thinks is the most beautiful girl in the world! Fast forward -hours... they're married!! Good Lord that was fast!! I simply adored this story!!! I love them. Highly recommend!!

9. “Their eyes met and it was like time stood still.” - I love the Bishop Brothers series by Kennedy Fox, and I was so excited when I realized their new series centered around the children of the brothers. In “Hitching the Cowboy,” we are propelled into the future to the Circle B Ranch where we find Alex’s son Riley, hard at work, and as handsome as his father. Riley had planned a weekend in Las Vegas with his best friend and roommate, Diesel, and we all know what happens there. Nothing good, and certainly nothing you want to talk about when you get home. Riley and Zoey were instantly attracted to each when their eyes met across the busy nightclub. Riley never thought he would see her again and he knew that lady luck was on his side when their paths crossed the next morning in the hotel. Zoey was beautiful and funny and he desperately wanted to get to know her. Zoey loved her job as a hairdresser and was lucky to have followed her heart in pursuing the career that she wanted. She hadn’t lived up to her parents expectations and she was using this weekend to relax and just live in the moment. She thought that Riley was handsome and sexy and she knew in her heart they had met for a reason. When you meet the right person you just know it, because love doesn’t follow any rules and can happen in an instant. What happens when Zoey arrives at the ranch? Will she adapt to ranch life or miss all the comforts of home? Will Riley welcome Zoey with open arms, and can he convince her to stay and make a life with him on the ranch?

1. Loved it - I loved this whole series. Each story, in all, were wonderful stories of love, family, and small town living, and how not only family, but the whole town always takes care of their own. I thoroughly enjoy Mindy Neff’s books. This is my first time reading her books and looking forward to reading more of her writings.

2. Christmas in shotgun Ridge - This book had a slow start but it did pick up. It was a good read worth reading again writer does a great job making you feel like you’re right there within it, the characters are great storyline once you get past the beginning which you have to read to figure it out it. Has to be there but it’s just a little slower, but it was worth a read it’s a great book appreciate the chance to read it. BFrog

3. Sexy Romance with Many Sweet Moments - This story made me laugh, cry, and smile with how sweet Clay was with broken Cherry and how the people in Shotgun Ridge rallied around her when she got hurt even though she had shut them out. I loved that she took in stray animals. The dogs Hope and Joy and the orphaned kittens were just too cute. It was great to follow up with other characters in this series, the birth of children, and other things going on in their lives. This was a sexy romance with many sweet moments.

1. Families are the best! - I love how amazing the kids are! Such great personalities. This makes me want to be a better mom. It reminds me that you can make a better life for yourself and family if you work hard. And those romances! Can’t get better than a cowboy declaring his love, saving your life, and always taking care of the things too hard to do by yourself. Even with all the friend drama, and sticky legal situations it’s still a dreamy book!
2022-03-08
2. Loved it! - I loved this book! I am really drawn to books that are told from various characters’ perspectives and enjoyed the addition of Donna as a main character and narrator in this book. Baker does an amazing job making you feel empathetic to characters who may be perceived as the “villain.” I’m excited to see what happens next with all of the lovable characters in this series.
2022-02-16
3. Setting up for the next book - Ok, don’t get me wrong. The book is good and I’m very glad to have read it. But it does fall a bit into Second Book Syndrome. We do add a new main character, which adds a new layer of problems and personalities. Relationships move along some. Some problems are resolved. But I definitely didn’t enjoy this book as much as the first. I think my biggest disappointment is in Abigail’s big conflict—the reasoning behind the promise she made really falls flat to me and stubbornly clinging to it without discussing it with the person she needs to discuss it with seems a little ridiculous for such a practical thinker. I did like the addition of the new main character, Donna, and the development of both her and Amanda. Amanda Saddler’s role in this one is great! I loved learning more about her. The book has definitely set me up to want to read more and see where these characters end up. Can’t wait for book three!
2022-02-16
4. Another great book - I really enjoyed getting to know the characters more. Like Amanda I wish I was more like Abigail, gets my children to follow directions and listen easily, is able to get them to do chores without whining, keeps and clean house, gets work done in a reasonable amount of time, even gets a workout in. But alas I think I’m more of an Amanda. I liked the growth we see in Amanda in this book. She’s not as self centered and we see her really caring about those around her. The addition of Donna was good and definitely not how I expected things to go by the end of this book. I look forward to the next!
2022-02-15
5. A second chance at life and love…if they can keep it - Abigail and Amanda never saw themselves running a ranch, far from their busy city lives. And they never saw themselves living and working together as they raised their children. But after a rocky start they’re starting to get the hang of it…and even to consider the possibility of finding love again. Things are looking up until they meet Donna. Suddenly their future hangs in the balance: the months they’ve spent, the trials they’ve gone through, and the old lives they left might all be in vain if they lose the ranch. With the stress and the betrayal, it’s harder than ever to open their hearts, but maybe that’s just what they need as they face adversity. I loved seeing the continued character development, especially for Amanda. She has already grown so much from the woman we first met in The Bequest: she is learning to care about others, to take control of her own life, and to work hard. But this book really kicked it up a notch, delving into the question of identity. Does she make herself into a copy of Abigail, the woman who seems to have it all together, or can she find her own strengths and be her own person? I also love Ms. Baker’s unique talent of taking a seeming villain and reminding us that life isn’t black and white: people rarely hurt others just to be cruel. It’s often out of desperation to protect themselves or those they love. And redemption is never impossible. So if you’re looking for a book with feisty heroines with grit, tons of action and twists (with the perfect blend of humor), and swoon-worthy guys who don’t give up when love is hard, The Vow is for you!

6. Lovely story! - I loved returning to Birch Creek Ranch! Abigail and Amanda are such great characters, and it’s lovely to see them grow and blossom in their own ways. This story was packed with so much great stuff, but it also flew by (I read it in less than a day). Now I’m on the edge of my seat for the next one!

1. Catching the Cowboy - I think Kennedy Ryan has outdone herself with this book. So far in the series this is my favorite. I’m not sure if it’s the wonderful big cowboy and his tenacity or if it’s the feisty Bar owner. They make such a wonderful couple. It’s a fantastic read and it’s full of feel goods!
2021-06-12
2. A MUST READ standalone small-town romance! - NO SPOILERS! I absolutely loved Diesel and Rowan’s story in Catching the Cowboy! The storyline and characters were amazing, and I loved being back in Texas with the Bishop family and all of their friends. I loved the storyline Kennedy Fox created for Diesel and Rowan’s sweet, sexy, charming, funny, and super swoon-worthy best friend’s sister/brother’s best friend small-town romance. The plot was very entertaining and I loved that it was fairly low angst. I loved everything about Catching the Cowboy and was ecstatic with the conclusion to Diesel and Rowan’s story. The characters were phenomenal. I loved Diesel and Rowan so much, and their story has been my favorite of the Circle B Ranch series so far. I loved their personalities and smoking hot chemistry together, and how their relationship progressed throughout. I also loved Diesel and Rowan’s banter and interactions with each other. Diesel was incredibly swoon-worthy, and I adored him with all my heart. Rowan was one lucky woman, and I was definitely jealous, LOL. The secondary characters were a fantastic addition as well, and made everything more entertaining. Catching the Cowboy was a MUST READ standalone contemporary romance from the seriously talented author duo, Kennedy Fox, and I would highly recommend Diesel and Rowan’s best friend’s sister/brother’s best friend romance! Kennedy Fox has created something incredibly special with the Circle B Ranch series and all of their other small-town romances based in Texas, and I can’t wait to read the next standalone, Wrangling the Cowboy!

3. Fabulous best friend's sister romance - A first kiss that was going to be epic until Rowan’s brother, Riley, interrupts it causing Diesel to deny he even kissed Rowan. This creates a contentious relationship between Diesel and Rowan because she is hurt through these events. I love how these two push each other’s buttons. When Rowan moves back home after college, Diesel knows that it’s now or never to claim his woman since he has been in love with Rowan for years. But everyone sees him as a player, can he convince Rowan that he is truly the long-term guy she’s been looking for. Rowan moves home after a crushing break-up so her trust in men is extremely low. When Diesel defends her, it’s as if her eyes are opened for the first time. Maybe there is something more going on, other than the snarky banter that they engage in. I was swept away into this journey of love for Diesel and Rowan. Neither one made this easy.
2020-04-21
4. Cowboy romance - This was a wonderful story about enemies turn lover, best friend’s little sister cowboy romance. It was well written in describing characters, their interactions, and the scenes/ backgrounds around them. Both characters love of family really showed thru the writing. There was angst throughout the book which I loved and even a little tease of what is to come in the next installment of Circle B ranch series. It was a definite need to read cowboy romance.
2020-04-21
5. Loved me some diesel!!!! - Yessssss. This book was soook great! Diesel. Man, he’s awesome. An alpha-clown if you will... meaning. All man. Possessive (in a good way) but can laugh at the same time! Rowan! Love her heart! Mix in some unexpected hurdles. The best friend sister. ‘Enemies’ to more. With EXCELLENT writing. You’ve got a phenomenal story!!! Highly recommend

6. “My heart is yours. Always has been. I was just waiting for you to catch me.” - Kennedy Fox has finally answered all of my questions about Diesel and Rowan and their feelings for each other. I love this couple, and their back and forth sparring was hilarious, which set the stage for their romantic journey. It was obvious that Diesel had always been crazy about Rowan, but she wanted nothing to do with him. He was strictly in the friend zone, which made his job even harder. They had grown up together and Rowan’s brother Riley was constantly warning Diesel to keep his hands off his sister. Diesel was funny, hardworking and a good friend, so I was surprised that Riley felt this way about him. I love Diesel because he knows what he wants, was very romantic when it came to Rowan and was determined not to fail at his quest for her love. His feelings for her came from his heart, and it was fun to see how their relationship progressed. Rowan was smart, independent and eager to learn all she could about the family business now that she had graduated from college. I like her feistiness, the enthusiasm she had about her new job and the happiness she felt when she spent time with her cousins. The importance of family is evident in all of the Kennedy Fox books and I enjoy reading about the younger generation of the Bishop family. I love all the Bishop couples, but Diesel and Rowan made me smile the most, made me laugh and made me believe that true love does exist.

1. Sweet Romance - This is Book in The Stones of Heart Falls series. We finally get Luke and Kelli’s story. This is such a sweet romance with a lot of exciting things happening. Luke’s ex-fiancée makes an appearance, too. The chemistry between Luke and Kelli is so fun to watch I’m so glad that I read this book. If you like a slow and fun romance, then this is the one that you need to read. There’s just enough spice to make it exciting but not R-rated.
2018-11-23
2. Fun and cute read!! - Fourth installment of the Heart Falls series, and it’s adorable!! This is Luke & Kelli’s story, they have a working relationship and friendship that blossom into something more over a working week event. Which started off bumpy but they manage to work thru it they are perfect for each other, with Kelli’s forever crush on Luke, and Luke being free from his now ex-fiancé, that no one liked..... she was a major itch with a capital “B”!! AND we finally get Kelli’s story too!!! This was something that has been hinted at in the past books. That Kelli has an awesome character of strength and feistiness. Makes you wonder how in the world Luke hadn’t truly noticed her before, oh right she was his employee and their friendship....which shows his great character too. But when he finally does....watch out sparks fly. Very cute friend to lover story with a very HEA with some happy twists. Oh and all the Stone family are there too with their own fun loving involvement and banter....right along with those adorable nieces, and their pet goats!! There is a bit more involvement in others outside of the Stone family but very much involved with the family, so looking forward to possibly more books/Novellas on them.....hint hint.

3. Fairytales - Oh my gosh, where do I begin? The Stone ranch is in trouble. All of a sudden an unexpected invitation is made that could help the ranch significantly. But the only Stone who could attend is Luke and he needs a significant other. So he lists Kelli. Oh yeah, and he doesn't tell her the role she needs to play until they are halfway to the location. And so begins the fake fiancee storyline. I love the chemistry between Luke and Kelli. And I love Jack and Diane (will we see more of them in the future?). I found it interesting that Mr. Carlyn was so interested in Kelli. What is that all about? So what happens when the fairytale ends and everyone has to return home and back to real life? Will love prevail or will life get in the way? Enjoy the carriage ride.
2018-11-21
4. Love Luke and Kelli! - I loved Kelli and Luke, but especially Kelli. She’s honest, doesn’t play games, and very forthright. Even though they have known each other and Kelli has worked for the Stones for quite awhile, Luke has finally had his eyes open and sees Kelli in a new light. The one thing that Kelli hasn’t been upfront about is her infatuation with Luke. It hasn’t kept her from doing an outstanding job on the ranch. With the ranch at a crossroads and being a success or failure can go either way, Luke’s invitation to an influential gala could hold the key for the family ranch to get back on its feet. It also provides the perfect opportunity for Kelli to live her dream, if only for a short time. There’s always a few hiccups along the way, but not always where you think they will be. I’ve read all of Ms Arend’s books and this one is one of her best.

5. A Rancher’s Bride - I love this book as I do all of the others in this series. The only bad thing about the book is that it ended! I could read about the Stone family forever. I feel like I’m part of their family and I love revisiting with all of the characters. I was glad Luke finally got the chance to realize his true feelings for Kelli. Kelli and Luke’s story is a great story about not realizing the great thing that’s been right in front of you. A great friends to lovers story. I can’t wait to read Ginny and Dustin’s story but in the meantime I’m looking forward to The Whiskey Creek Coleman girls! I was given an ARC for an honest review.
2018-11-11
6. The Stones of Heart Falls - When Luke Stone receives an invitation to an exclusive horse event he knows this is his chance to really do something to help his family with the ranch’s financial problems. The only hitch is he needs a significant other. The only person he can think of is ranch hand Kelli James and when he asks she’s willing to go, only he left one very important part out, the most “significant” part. Kelli has had a crush on Luke for some time so after the initial shock she decides to make the most out of the situation and soon it’s not acting anymore for either one of them. A friends to lovers story with plenty of heart and family.
2018-11-10
7. A Friends to Lovers Romp - The Stone family returns with Luke and Kelli in the hot seat. It’s Luke’s turn to try to bring much needed money (in the form of customers) to the ranch’s horse breeding program. And Kelli the ranch hand knows horses. There are some surprising twists to keeps the story moving and fun. I feel invested in this family now and look forward to the next couple in the hot seat!
2018-11-02
8. Surprises OMG - I got so excited reading this book. It took by surprise the whole plot since I thought Dustin and Kelly might heat it off.... but i gotta day Luke and Kelli is indeed much better. Kelli has always been a mystery character and see it get the spotlight was very refreshing. I’m looking forward for the upcoming installment!!! You will love this story a lot.
2018-11-01
9. star read - I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Ms. Arend has done it again. I couldn’t put it down. Finished it in hours! Luke and Kelli have amazing chemistry. Their story slowly unfolds and you can feel the energy between them. I loved the surprise development that unfolds. The way secrets were revealed and how the characters have a chance to heal past hurts was genuine. I enjoyed how you can sense who is next up in the series even before the end of the book is near. Never once does it take anything away from the story at hand. It just brings me closer to the characters. This was sweet and steamy. Great addition to the series.
2018-10-29
10. Love everything about this - Excellent!!! Very well written romance story, I love both characters. Kelli is bold, hard working, sassy and grateful. Luke is such a gentleman, a bit more reserved or rather has an one track mind focused on not losing his family ranch. A few days away from the ranch handling ranch business, helps clear the “air” a bit and Luke really makes you long for the opportunity to fall for this cowboy. Their story really touches the heart, their chemistry is off the charts & their antics are at times hilarious. They are very well matched also have great family circle on the ranch, very supportive & upfront. I love that the author focuses on plot and the couple without all the "extra" drama that is so overwhelmingly popular these days, it keeps you on track with the plot and lets you settle down into their story, love that. I requested a free copy and am voluntarily reviewing.

1. Love Kaitlyn - I absolutely love Kaitlyn! Her blunt, no holding back, honest talk with everyone but especially her family is the best! If only she could have applied that personality trait when it came to her feelings about her best friend. Payton has been burned by his heartless ex so he’s gun shy about mixing business and pleasure so best friends it will be. However no one ever measures up to her. Their push and pull and stupid rules frustrated me to no end but thank goodness it all worked out in the end! The epilogue was bittersweet in that it gave us a glimpse of the second generation of Bishops in the future but told us the third generation and Zach’s story wouldn’t be here for almost a year.
2022-09-05
2. An perfect ending to a wonderful series - I knew going into this book that is was going to be both amazing and sad at the same time since it is the last Circle B Ranch book. The Bishop family is one of my favorite book families of all time. From the first moment Kaitlyn and Payton started popping up regularly in the series and the constant teasing they both received from everyone about secretly being in love with each other I was counting down the days to their book. Finally getting it I tried so hard to read it slow and savor it but Kennedy Fox had me flipping the pages so fast and before I knew it I was finished with the book. Kaitlyn and Payton could not have been any cuter than they are. Both of them deserve happiness like all the other Bishops. Kaitlyn has so much love to give and having a child is the best way for her to do that. Payton landing his job at the ranch was the best thing to happen to him because it brought him Kaitlyn. These two are on fire together long before they are even "together". The extreme care that Payton shows Kaitlyn is definitely next level. She is his everything....it is almost like she is his sun and everything revolves around her in his eyes. I have to say the way that KF wrapped up this series and set up the spin-off that is coming was so beautifully done. These two ladies know how to make their readers feel anticipation for what is coming and sadness all at the same time...but more of a happy type sad. I cannot wait for the spin-off series to release!

3. Loved this bittersweet close on This gen of Circle B! Soooo good - All the feels!!!! Every. Single. One. This is the final nd generation Circle B story! Kaitlyn, Knox and Kane’s little sis, wants a baby and is sick of waiting on the perfect Mr Right. She’s feisty, independent, fun and lonely. Payton… bff to Kaitlyn. And he may just be the man for the job! Loved this best friend to more with a mix of planned pregnancy vibe. So much Highly recommend.
2022-08-24
4. Kaitlyn finally has her HEA! - What a wonderful ending to a memorable series! Kaitlyn finally has her HEA the way she wants it her way. Kaitlyn and Payton are best friends and their relationship evolves to more when he said yes to her. What happens next was an entertaining and swoon worthy romance story that didn’t disappoint. I enjoyed how their characters blossom as their journey take them to an unexpected romance that they finally stopped denying. A bittersweet ending to the Circle B Ranch series, but I so can’t wait for the next generation with that tease of an ending.
2022-08-23
5. So good!!!! - I'm so sad this series is over but this was the perfect ending. This is the last book in the NINE books series, Circle B Ranch, and it was the perfect ending to an amazing series I have never been so interested in a book series or a world as I have been with this series. Payton agrees to help Kaitlyn with somethings she's always wanted and the spice starts very soon!! The epilogues in the book provide the most perfect ending and got me so excited for what’s to come in this world! Payton and Kaitlyn’s story has been very anticipated for me and it delivered in being the perfect spicy small town romance. I loved all the mentions of other members of the Bishop family and I will always come back to this series to reread, it's just so good!!
2022-08-23
6. Payton and Kaitlin - This is the end to the series, and I hate that it ends but we also get a glimpse at the end of the book what is coming next, and I cannot wait. The stars in this book is Payton and Kaitlin. She is the last single grandchild in this series and Payton is her best friend. She has never seen Payton as anything more than her bestie, but Payton has always crushed on her in a big way. When he finds out she wants a child and is willing to go the sperm route, he asks her to consider him as her babies' daddy and this takes them on a very interesting journey and adds a different aspect to their friendship. Largely this is their journey to parenthood from when Kaitlin comes up with the plan and Payton asks her to consider him through pregnancy and into their happily ever after. I really found their journey very realistic and loved watching these two find each other. Payton has always known how he felt about Kaitlin, but this is her journey into finding out how she feels about him as they go on this very special journey to parenthood together. I loved their story. It is very different from any of the books in the series. I also adored their special relationship and loved where the authors took them as they see what is really in their hearts. The ending of this story was awesome, and I cannot wait to see the next part of this awesome family.

7. Love this friends to lovers romance. - I’ve been waiting for Kaitlyns book! We’ve slowly seen the build up for her story in this series and I think it’s safe to say, we’ve all been wanting her to get her HEA! This story has so many laugh out loud moments, while it also shines a light on the struggle for some women. And then we have Payton who will do whatever he can to keep his best friend around and happy while sacrificing his own feelings. So we they agree to have a baby together things are bound to get messy, even with rules in place. Rules are made to be broken, but whose gonna break them first?
2022-08-23
8. I love this series!! - Can a promise between best friends lead to something more? As soon as Payton got wind of Kaitlyn’s crazy plan to use a sperm bank to find a baby daddy, he knew he was the man for the job. He quickly put an end to her madness and agreed to give her a baby the old fashioned way. Who knew that becoming a dad would be so much fun? Payton found himself immersed in all things baby related which gave him a sense of comfort that he was definitely doing the right thing. Kaitlyn meant the world to him and her happiness was all that mattered. But would Kaitlyn want more out of their relationship once a baby was on the way? Payton and Kaitlyn’s journey to parenthood was emotional, touching and full of surprises. Her twin brothers, Kane and Knox, were always close at hand with their own brand of comic relief. Her Bishop cousins were certain that Kaitlyn had a special place in her heart for Payton and they all hoped that once again, true love would prevail on the Bishop Ranch where dreams come true and love is always in the air.

1. Homeward Bound Cowboy - I like Debra Holts books but it wouldn’t hurt to put a little hugging and kissing in the story. Nothing over the top. No nasty stuff. But it’s not even realistic, kisses then they get married , please! That’s why I only gave it stars. I think I’ll move on to another Author more in touch with the real world. No offense.
2021-03-09
2. Rio and Dee’s Story - Homeward Bound by Debra Holt is book number two in the Blood Brothers series. This is Rio Montez and Dee McNamara’s story. Dee and Rio’s story is sweet that has some funny and serious moments. Oh man these two are carrying so much baggage. Once they can put some closure to their baggage they can take a chance on finding true love and happiness. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

1. Full of feisty fun - This book has a feisty woman and intense sex scenes. The world is crafted masterfully with details so vivid that I easily fell into the story and could ‘see’ the events as I read them. It was it’s own stand alone story, yet it plays off of book beautifully. I felt like book was moving forward in the background. I’m a big Cade Brothers and Greta Rose West fan. I’m looking forward to the future books in the series.

1. Their Wayward Bride - I really enjoyed reading Their Wayward Bride!!! All about Laurel who is in her twenties got lost in a blizzard and fell off her horse about feet from Brody & Mason’s door. The horse broke his leg, & had to be put down. And Laurel was completely frozen, she could not feel her fingers nor toes. Read about Laurel & Mason & Brody and see what happens when she has her wits about her!!! This is the third book I’ve read in this series and I can’t put them down!! The author has you gripped from page one till you turn the last page!!! Every single emotion known to man is in this book!! You will laugh & cry and feel so much pleasure reading this book!!! I can’t wait to read book four!!!

2. Bridgewater Ménage series - These types of quick read romances serve a purpose as they are short, have many love scenes though they tend to repeat ver similar and fill a spot for some who want a pick me up or head start for the evening. I myself liked parts, thought it not very likely or talked about for the chosen time period but does move along where others stall out and I skip the love sciences all together. Great writing for intended audience.

1. Meh - The characters are somewhat interesting, but it feels like it’s been written by someone who knows almost nothing about animals. Especially horses. Referring to a horse’s muzzle or face as a ‘snout’ is just weird. Not a bad story, but not one I’d keep around to re-read. More research into what being a veterinarian is really like would have made this much better.
2019-09-01
2. Enjoyable sweet read - Taming the Texas Cowboy is an enjoyable sweet read that is very well written with great characters and an interesting storyline. Maddie Brooks finds herself without a home or an office for her veterinarian operation. That is until Trey Walker comes to her rescue. What will happen when these two are around each other every day?? Trey has resisted her for over a year but this situation might be to much even for his iron will. I definitely recommend this one.

1. Enjoyable Read! - Drama on the Ranch! Another couple I have been looking forward to finding out why they have a HATE/LOVE relationship. And let me tell you the wait was so worth it! Grayson and Kenzie had been fighting since this series started and now we know why. From the first chapter I have a feeling as to why Kenzie hated Grayson. It was eventful reading them finding out that it was LOVE not HATE all along. I can’t believe there are only books to go in this series, I don’t wait to see this end. It’s always enjoyable to read a Bishop Family book because I know I will be laughing at all the pranks and mischief going on at the Ranch.

2. Second chance - After being cheated on, Grayson moves to Circle B ranch to start his life over. When he meets Kenzie, he’s immediately attracted to her but she won’t give him the time of day. She acts like she hates him for something he has done but he doesn’t know her. Can he convince her to tell him what it is so he can make it up to her and give him a second chance?

3. Fun and captivating read - Winning the Cowboy by Kennedy Fox takes us back to Circle B Ranch and gives us Grayson and Mackenzie, Kenzie’s story. They had a bit of an enemies to lovers vibe, and I just loved their back and forth. Bishop knows he wants Kenzie, but she fights him every step of the way. And yet denying their chemistry is nearly impossible. Kenzie was sweet and likable, and Grayson was caring, protective and very determined. When they come to a truce, things begin to change. Is this finally their time? Such a great addition to the series. Happy reading!

4. The sparks fly and their passion burns, scorching the pages and leaving me panting on the floor. - I absolutely love this series and you should definitely read these in order to get the whole story and character backgrounds as you move forward. I don’t know what it is about these two but I’ve been smitten with them since I was first introduced to them at the beginning. I so enjoy that burning attraction they have but how much Kenzie fights it with that feisty sassiness I can’t get enough of and how Grayson never quits. Their banter and sass built the anticipation up for me so much and it does not disappoint. Getting an in depth look inside their heads with this dual POV is just amazing I love seeing what makes them tick. The story unravels and keeps me on my toes all the while. Never letting my feels have a break. The sparks fly and their passion burns, scorching the pages and leaving me panting on the floor.

5. Loved Grayson and Kenzie! - I love being back to the Circle B Ranch and having another Bishop find their HEA. Grayson and Kenzie’s love/hate relationship has been building up. Her feisty character comes to a sizzling ending when she finally turn it down a notch and let Grayson in. But he is in for a surprise as he finally discover the reason for her intense hate that she is always dishing. I was highly entertained with their banters and revenge plots to each other. It all comes together in the ending in this newest release that doesn’t disappoint. I can’t wait for more of this crazy and lovable family!

6. “I’ve been yours since the day we met.” - The Circle B Ranch is always busy, but the cowboys still have time to gossip. They love to make fun of Grayson as he tries to win the heart of Kenzie, who wants nothing to do with him. Grayson is drawn to Kenzie in a way he doesn’t understand. Something about her calls to him and he is pulling his hair out trying to find a way to get through to her. He teases her and tries to make her laugh, but nothing works and Kenzie continues to glare at him with disgust. At times Grayson feels his attempts to woo her are futile, but he refuses to give up! Kenzie has a big secret that has occupied her mind and her heart for years. She ignores the comments her family makes about her behavior towards Grayson and she just laughs when he invades her space with his suggestive ideas. I wasn’t sure how long Grayson could take Kenzie’s sarcastic comments. I thought he might give up his pursuit of her, because how much could one man take? I was surprised that Kenzie had never confided in her sister or her mom. The Bishops are a close-knit group and everyone is always in your business. I love all the books in the Circle B Ranch series and with each installment we learn more about the second generation of the Bishop family. Kennedy Fox has invited the whole family along for the ride as they witness the witty banter between Kenzie and Grayson. What happens when a well-kept secret is revealed? How will it affect Kenzie and Grayson’s relationship? Let’s hope they come to an understanding before it is too late.

1. Beautiful - This is a beautiful historical romance. The research is fascinating and story of Eddy and Rhine is simply lovely. It's not the easiest read, considering Rhine is passing and ultimately has to face the consequences. But ha has a good reason, and he's a good man, someone the sweet, strong, beautiful Eddy deserves.

2. Love the story!!! - This is my first time reading one of Beverly Jenkins books and just love the story. Is a must read!!! Not only tells a story but also teaches about the struggles and life of African American during the 's. I'm just became a fan. I love reading and learning and I get both with this story. I will definitely recommend this book and I will continue to read more of her books. I agreed that is a mustread.

3. It was ok - I'm a huge Beverly Jenkins fan and I absolutely LOVE her books, specifically the historical romances so I was super excited to learn that Rhine Fontaine, the brother of my favorite heroine Sable Fontaine, was getting his own book. A lot of parts were repeated from other books but the biggest let down was the ending. Normally I'm either on the edge of my seat or in tears when I read one of her stories but not with this one. I guess I expected more shrugs

4. This isn’t a read and be done story, you will read and lose track of time - I’ve read a few Civil War and expansionist era historical, but none held the intrigue or interest in perspective that Ms. Jenkins brings to Forbidden. A free black woman, Eddy has dreams and ambition and a determination that never seems to waver for long. She wants to start anew in California with her own restaurant, and make her mark. Denver has lost the luster for her, her sister and she are constantly at odds, and she feels that San Francisco will be where she can shine. Relying on her wits and her personality, as well as some unexpected skills learned from her teamster father, Eddy’s journey seems to be starting reasonably smoothly until she’s trcked and abandoned in the desert, necessitating a rescue. Rhine was born the son of a slave and her master, his sharp wits, determination and light complexion allow him to ‘pass’ for white far from those slave roots, and he’s made the most of the new opportunities afforded him. He was a conflicted character who often seemed to be at odds with his own history and genetics, and watching his behavior as he ‘fits in’ seemed to become more wearing on him as the story went on, and his feelings for Eddy deepened. Secrets and lies work to muffle and hide your true personality, and I thought the prejudice and bigotry were simple to grasp. But Eddy isn’t looking to end up like her sister, reliant on whatever man she can grab onto, and Rhine, as he first appears, is simply NOT for her. But there is no denying their connection, one she finds disturbing and unsettling as it conflicts with her own plans and choices. This isn’t a read and be done story, you will read and lose track of time, with issues of the ’s having a curious (and sad) correlation to issues of today. Eddy will instantly win favor, and while Rhine takes a bit more time to warm up to. Jenkins has managed to weave the romance and the feel of the time into this story, giving us a true sense of both the hardships from the life the characters lived whether from race or the rather difficult lives of the late ’s. Most of all, the choice that Rhine has to make between the life he’s struggled and worked to build or the truth to claim the woman he has come to love is an epic one: and one that is presented with flair. I received a paperback copy of this title from the publisher via Avon Addicts for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

1. Good read - I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Oh how I wish these stories were true! Colt is a perfect gentleman that would do anything for anyone, but Chloe doesn’t know if he is just being nice or if he could actually like her. Of course this book has two “head-over-boot heals” characters who don’t know when to quit assuming they know what the other person is thinking and actually use their words to communicate with each other. There are a few side stories that make the story especially interesting- I’d love to know more about what finally happened to Rank!

1. Worth the Wait! - Oh how I have waited for Rex's book, leave me tell you it did not disappoint. Jade and Rex are fabulous together, their headstrong determined attitude cab plow through anything, even a family fued. B.J. Harrison is fabulous at narrating Destined for Love. He bring the characters and the story to life.
2022-05-14
2. Lovers Destiny - Destined For Love is Rex Braden and Jade Johnson’s love story set in Weston, Colorado. I read this story several years ago, loved it then and now that I was able to listen to the audio version I found I still loved it!! I completely love Melissa Foster. Her writing is fun, sexy, emotional, with lots of heat, and alphas galore! Both Rex and Jade are smart, sexy, beautiful people inside and out. Will they find their forever love even if their father’s do not bring an end to a year feud? BJ Harrison is the narrator once again. He does an excellent job with the variety of characters in a Melissa Foster book. I received an ALC in exchange for an honest review.

3. Destined for Love - This is Rex’s and Jade’s forbidden love story. Just like the first book in the series this one drags out in the first half of the book. It makes the beginning of the story a little boring. Toward the end it picks up and is really good. It even made me cry in parts. I got this in a three book collection so I’ll be reading the next one too.
2021-02-17
4. Jade and Rex - A lovely story of two star crossed lovers. Jade is a wonderful woman burned in love......Rex is a homebody who never found the right girl......or he did long ago and never acted on it. Their chance to make them both happy is full of drama and fun times. A great story but I’m not thrilled with the narrator. I sometimes have a hard time with a male narrator or doesn’t do female voices well. It feels forced to me but it doesn’t make you not want to know what happens !

5. Great Read - Destined for Love was another great read by Melissa Foster. Rex Braden works hard on his family ranch during the day. He has always just had physical relationships but never close enough for an emotional one. But Jade Johnson changes when she moves back into town. The only thing in their way was the fact that their father's have been feuding for over forty years. I absolutely loved listening to Jade and Rex's story. This was another great audiobook by Melissa Foster.
2019-03-23
6. Super Sweet, Super Hot - Destined For Love is super sweet, super hot small town country romance. The forbidden aspect was a feud between two families that had gone on way too long and needed a bit of shaking up. Jade Johnson and Rex Braden know they shouldn’t be attracted to each other. But when the attraction is just too strong to resist, it might be the only thing that will force them to reevaluate the long standing field between their families. Both Jade and Rex gave in way too much to what their fathers thought it wanted. I quite often wanted to shake them and tell them to grow up. What could have been a fairly blah story was brought up a notch in audiobook by really good narration! -. Stars-

7. Destianed for love - Your book that I have just finished reading is the best I have read in a long,long time. It was so interesting that I couldn't put it down. The story made me Remenber the long days on the farm which I loved. The story was really put together with people that that had a hard life and had to refrain from taking their love public. I went through some of the crap that Jade and Rex had to endure but joined the military instead of staying home. When I returned years later all the bad stuff was gone and so I settled down. Now as a retired disable veteran I just read books on my iPad. So, keep up the good writing and look forward to read many more of your books. Thank you for being an excellent writer.

8. This might have been my perfect book - Rex Braden doesn't know what started the feud between his family and the Johnsons, but he knows better than to pursue Earl Johnson's daughter Jade. Problem is that she's the only woman who's ever caught his eye and held it, and while she may be off limits, she's still everything he's ever wanted. It seems like chance keeps bringing them together, but when they both start falling, that chance begins to look a whole lot more like destiny. But with decades of bad blood, stubborn parents, and disputed land between them, making an honest go of it isn't going to be easy. The Verdict: Oh, sexy Rexy! In many ways, this might have been my perfect book. Melissa Foster took me home to a ranch, gave me back the Arabian my Daddy bought me when I was a kid, and threw in a sexy as sin but ultimately gentleman cowboy. I'm already sold on her writing, and about the only thing that would have ruined this book for me would have been something along the lines of an alien invasion or zombie outbreak. The whole star-crossed lovers thing in Destined for Love was different than I expected. With the feuding families, I thought Jade and Rex would be at each other's throats, but from the very beginning, they began to bring out the best in each other. Sure, they butted heads, and their futile attempts at hiding their attraction from each other led to some awesome misunderstandings, but Rex remained the gentleman, and Jade was as sweet as she was feisty. It really was the perfect country pairing.
And at first, I thought the feud was crazy (I guess I was kind of in sync with the Jade and the Braden kids in this one), but the more I saw of the fathers, the more I believed it. It really is nuts what people will hold against each other for ages, and it seemed these guys were no different from the rest of us in that respect. Emotion almost always wins over logic when it comes to these things, and true to life, emotion started it, and emotion ended it. I guess it goes without saying that this is the perfect romance for anyone who can appreciate the everyday life on a ranch — from mending fences to mucking stalls to running to the feed store. But for those who don't know the difference between Rogues and Ropers, it's still a great escape into a modern cowboy romance.

1. Beautiful story! - The O'Rourke Family Montana Saga is one of my favorite series by this author! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading every book up to this one and have waited eagerly for Lucien and Samantha's story to be finished! As with each book in the saga, this one is filled with just enough drama, tender love, and that unwavering O'Rourke family loyalty. It is refreshing how each book centers on couples of such varying backgrounds and ages. In this story, Sam and Luc are both very young, but they've been through difficult circumstances that have matured them beyond their years; still, they approach their feelings for one another with the reckless abandon of youth and their unguarded tenderness (when they finally open themselves up to each other) is sappy sweet--but not nauseatingly so. Every book gives a peek into Seamus and Mary's relationship as they witness their children navigating love, providing wise counsel along the way and just simply loving them through the tough moments with a fierce, protective love that envelopes every new spouse that joins their brood as well. Those are some of my favorite moments throughout the series. Overall, I love how the story panned out and some of the little twists along the way. This one was much more mild in regard to the suspense/drama side that was more prominent in the previous books. It provided a sort of break in the chaos of the events of "last summer" (vague, so I don't spoil anything) and focused more on the relational aspect that each character has with one another. Ramona has a way of writing that creates a voracious appetite for more in her readers. Now that I've devoured this book much too quickly, I am waiting in barely contained excitement for Finn's story! I received an advance reader copy, and this review is in my own words.

3. Will Lucien and Samantha ever get it together? - This is a super sweet romance story between Lucien and Samantha. At first, Lucien harbored an unrequited love for Samatha always seeking her out with his eyes. He mistakenly thought she and his brother Niall were meant for each other. But after Niall put it to him in no uncertain terms that they were only friends did he feel confident enough to approach Samantha. Samatha knew she was attracted to Lucien but thought he was not interested in her. Everyone in the O’Rourke family noticed how the two stole glances at each other but they didn’t realize the other felt the same. When the two finally…finally…got it together, there was no denying their love for each other. I loved the sweet ending. Worth the read.
