Catching Caytie by Amazon Top Seller Cindy Roland Anderson

On the night Caytie Holbrook intends to break up with her cheating boyfriend, he blindsides her by announcing their engagement at a dinner party. When Caytie discovers her father is in on the scheme, she runs away from her home in Beverly Hills to hide out at her uncle’s ranch in Snow Valley, Montana. While Snow Valley is a beautiful place, Caytie only plans to stay until her twenty-fifth birthday when she’ll inherit a trust fund her grandmother left her, allowing her to pursue her dream to move to Italy. That is until she meets Jace McAllister, an incredibly sexy—although somewhat grumpy—cowboy who threatens to disrupt her plans.

As Cameron tries to win Kyle over, Kyle insists some things are more valuable than a title and as crazy as it sounds, Cameron might just believe him.

A Touch of Love by Amazon Top Seller Cami Checketts

When irresistible cowboy, Luke Wilson, seems to be falling for her, she’s certain he’s too good to be true. A tragedy involving his ex-girlfriend proves she’s right. What man can resist sheltering someone they once loved? Annie knows she should walk away, but Luke isn’t ready to give her up.

First Love by Amazon Top Seller Taylor Hart 

Janet Snow doesn’t expect to get caught in a full-blown make out session at her brother’s wedding. Especially not with Michael Hamilton, the boy she’d written off ten years ago. Even though they both agree to no complications, Janet's not sure they can stick to it given their past. After a trip to the hot springs, a helicopter ride, and a proposal, even the most cautious single mother would start to wonder if true love really is just about the timing. Now Janet has to make a choice—play it safe or trust that her first love could also be her last. 

Romancing Rebecca by Amazon Top Seller, Kimberley Montpetit

Rebecca Dash loved spending her teen summers swooning over Jane Austen and helping her aunt at the Starry Skies Bed & Breakfast in Snow Valley. But as a recent college grad, she’d rather write sappy romance novels than go out with guys that make her a nervous wreck. When a team of fire-fighters set up camp on the lawns of the B&B and Captain Wade catches her eye, Becca soon learns that there’s more to a happily-ever-after than a flirty fireman with muscles the size of the Montana hills.

Love in Light and Shadow by Amazon Top Seller Lucy McConnell

Mercedes O'Shay has sworn off gorgeous men because they have a tendency to break her heart. When she meets her new neighbor, Chet Bauer, she immediately puts him in the Do Not Date category based on his well-defined muscles and stunning blue eyes. But the more Mercedes learns about the cowboy who reads classics and forges iron, the more she realizes the heart doesn't see in black and white; it sees light and shadows.

Heroes of Olympus Series

My 5th grader loves all of Riordan's novels and has asked me repeatedly to read them so we can discuss them together. I finally finished this series a few weeks ago.

They were as I expected, similar to the Percy Jackson series, which for me translates to adventurous, well written, well-fleshed out characters I can get behind. It's nice when an author sets the bar and can continue it through multiple series.

The fun this about this series is there are old characters I love from Percy Jackson and new characters from New Rome to get to love and enjoy. Clashing Greek heroes with Roman ones was a brilliant move. Brush off your Latin, there's some in there.

The storyline is much the same: kill the monsters, save the world. But to be able to stretch it out over multiple books while keeping the reader engaged is no small feat. Well done, Mr. Riordan.

Only one bone to I have to pick with the author. Did he really need to throw in same-sex attraction? Yes, this is a part of today's society. But, did it need to come up in a Middle Grade/YA novel series? As soon as I read it, I cringed. Not because I have anything against those who are same gender attracted. I have several friends who are. But because as a reader, I disagreed with the nature of the purpose and felt the series could've been completed and the character's motivation explained without going in this direction.

So far, my 5th grader has yet to bring it up. Maybe it sailed over her head. Unfortunately, with her heading to middle school, I'll have to explain the concept to her as I understand from parents with older children that this topic comes up at such a young age.

How have you as a parent dealt with explaining same gender attraction to your children? And at what age?

Homecoming: Safe Haven

Homecoming: Safe Haven by Heather Justesen.

I haven't read the other novellas in this series. I say novella because it's less than 50 pages long. This translates to short read. A very fulfilling well crafted short read that will motivate you to want to pick up the rest of the series. It's easy to relate to the characters, though I've never been in the witness protection program, but Ms. Justesen does a fine job of finding those threads of life we all share: fear, love, desire to protect, etc and bringing them to life in her characters.

Nice to have a novella about a newly married couple and the challenges they face. There's many layers of emotion conveyed, but especially one of hope.

It was also nice to spend a moment in Juniper Ridge with a few familiar characters from her DiCarlo Brides series and meet a few of her cross over characters in Crystal Creek.

An enjoyable read.

http://www.amazon.com/Homecoming-Safe-Haven-Heather-Justesen-ebook/dp/B00URVJX4Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431705407&sr=8-1&keywords=homecoming+safe+haven

When the US Marshall sends the newly-married Bo and Tosca into hiding in a little Montana town, they settle in for a safe, quiet life while they prepare for the court case against Tosca’s former boyfriend. Charles has other plans, though—he wants her dead before she can testify. And he’s found their safe haven.

Love Under Construction Cover Reveal & Giveaway!

They say that love and business don’t mix . . . 

Charlee is angry...

What do you do when your boss makes someone else the lead on a big renovation project that should rightfully be yours? You quit. On second thought, that might not be the best idea, but Charlee Jackson has never been one for second thoughts. Instead, she lands a big contract of her own. She’s jumping into her new life—work boots, tool belt, and all. Now she just needs to form a company and hire contractors and buy supplies and get an office and not fall in love with her former boss's son. Yeah. Definitely not that last one.

Peter is torn...

You can’t date someone who works for you, but now that his dad let Charlee walk out the door, Peter Elliot is considering his options. Charlee was their top renovation expert, his best friend’s sister, and the only thing that made the drudgery of running a large construction business bearable. But how do you date a competitor, especially one your father is trying to drive out of business? It would be stupid to make your dad angry right before he retires and hands the company over to you. Right?

When Charlee and Peter are scheduled to work on the same Indulgence Row house, their feelings and priorities are put to the test. They need to make a choice, and they better be quick about it, because the whole mixture is curing fast and threatening to crumble to pieces.
