Blurb:

Can her ray of sunshine melt his icy heart?

Recently dumped by her boyfriend, Triss Young accepts the unexpected offer from her best friend to travel to Colorado and spend Christmas with Hannah and her uncles. But when Triss’s plane lands in Denver and Hannah’s is rerouted because of snow, Triss heads to the ranch alone and is surprised when a blue-eyed, sexy rancher with dog tags answers the door.

Grumpy rancher Asher Harris doesn’t know what to make of the beauty who showed up on his doorstep at midnight, covered in snow and hell-bent on snuggling goats. He’s got a lot of work to do on the ranch and doesn’t have time to entertain, even though he can think of a few ways he and Triss could stay warm.

However, this Christmas seems to be full of surprises for everyone, as Triss proves herself to not only be a natural with the horses, but she’s up for anything—even mucking stalls. Is she also the breath of fresh air and happiness Asher didn’t know he needed?

Romance Book Reviews!! ~ Things We Hide from the Light by Lucy Score

Title: Things We Hide from the Light
Series: Knockemout Book 2
Author: Lucy Score
Release: February 21, 2023
Genre: Small Town Contemporary Romance
Bookbub: http://bit.ly/3YIZuIK
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/62022434

Blurb:

Bestselling author Lucy Score returns to Knockemout, Virginia, following fan-favorite Things We Never Got Over with Knox’s brother Nash’s story.

Nash Morgan was always known as the good Morgan brother, with a smile and a wink for everyone. But now, this chief of police is recovering from being shot and his Southern charm has been overshadowed by panic attacks and nightmares. He feels like a broody shell of the man he once was. Nash isn’t about to let anyone in his life know he’s struggling. But his new next-door neighbor, smart and sexy Lina, sees his shadows. As a rule, she’s not a fan of physical contact unless she initiates it, but for some reason Nash’s touch is different. He feels it too. The physical connection between them is incendiary, grounding him and making her wonder if exploring it is worth the risk.

Too bad Lina’s got secrets of her own, and if Nash finds out the real reason she’s in town, he’ll never forgive her. Besides, she doesn’t do relationships. Ever. A hot, short-term fling with a local cop? Absolutely. Sign her up. A relationship with a man who expects her to plant roots? No freaking way. Once she gets what she’s after, she has no intention of sticking around. But Knockemout has a way of getting under people’s skin. And once Nash decides to make Lina his, he’s not about to be dissuaded…even if it means facing the danger that nearly killed him.

Life is never black and white.

One minute you’re a struggling graphic designer in LA that’s finally coming to terms with being single forever, and the next you’re flying to New York in a private jet to get engaged to your ex-boyfriend’s older brother.

Now I’m spending every spare second with a man I thought I’d never see again.

Small Town Second Chance Romance ~ How Could I Forget by N.D. Jackson

Welcome to Plentiful!

A small midwestern town with an unusual amount of twins and triplets…even quadruplets!

This is Kayla & Dan’s story.

Kayla

She was untouchable
Gorgeous. Bubbly. Kind.
And for one night, Kayla had been his.
One gloriously clumsy but heat filled night, she’d been his
To do whatever he pleased. Whatever pleased her.
And then in a flash, it was over.
Next came caps, gowns and graduation
Goodbye, forever.
And just when Dan had given up hope that he would ever see her again,
He found her.
Two doors away.

Dan

He was the adorable geek with the magnificent eyes
Smart as hell. Shy. Quiet.
Four years of barely noticing her and then one night, Dan was hers
He was nervous, adorable really
And so curious sometimes a shiver stole through her just thinking about his gentle touch that night
But it was just one night, as far as he knows.
As for Kayla, she knows exactly where she was when her life changed forever
And it was her secret to keep until Dan showed up in Plentiful
And blew her life to pieces

Romance Book Review ~ Let Love In by Marie Soleil

ABOUT:

There is one person on this earth I cannot stand: Ethan Taylor.

Sure, he looks like he belongs on the cover of a magazine, but don’t let his looks fool you. He is pretentious, arrogant, and self-absorbed. Unfortunately, he is also the son of a reality TV star, and designers who won’t even glance at my portfolio are on his speed dial.

But now he has a proposition for me: If I join him in New York City and pose as his date to his grandmother’s swanky benefit, he’ll take me to Fashion Week and introduce me to the hottest names in fashion. As an aspiring designer, I’d have to be crazy to turn him down.

Except that means spending a week with Ethan. Pretending to date him. His hand pressed to my low back. His sweet grandmother fawning over me, imagining our future together.

If only my heart didn’t race a little every time he came near me, this would be a piece of cake.

Let’s just hope I can remember all the reasons why I hate him…and keep myself from falling for him instead.

Let Love In is an enemies-to-lovers, sweet romantic comedy that keeps the romance closed-door. It’s book three in The Canyon Cove Love Stories but can be read as a standalone.

I really enjoyed this enemies to lovers romance. Thea is a no-nonsense girl who is done with charming rich men like Ethan flipping Taylor, it’s just too bad that Ethan has his sights set on the budding fashion designer.

One ill-fated attempt to capture her attention and he’s forever branded just like all the rest. A beautiful yes, but also charming—yes—and unfortunately very egotistical rich playboy. Thea is not interested.

Nope, not at all.

But then Ethan makes a proposition she just can’t turn down, even if it means spending an entire week with Ethan flipping Taylor.

This was a fun story. The banter and sarcasm between them was so much fun as was the glimpses into Ethan’s heart and the man he was underneath the persona and the bluster and the charm. He was a caring man who did sweet things like feed pigeons with his grandmother in the park. Swoon! The more they learn about each other, the more their feelings changed but felt organic and I appreciated that.

I’m not sure I’ve ever read anything by Marie Soleil but Let Love In was a great introduction to a new-to-me author.
