A Hand Me Down Husband Worth the Wait
934962
Hand Me Down Husband hit the spot. I was looking for a clean, enjoyable romance and found it with this novel. I could see from the start that Mitch and Susanne were going to get together. The most interesting aspect was watching how they got there, either because or in spite of their well-meaning relatives. Both of them had issues they needed to work through, but they both eventually found their way and, of course, we got to experience a happy ending.

This book is well worth reading if you want a pleasant, but honest, love story. I'm looking forward to reading more of Rosanna Huffman's books.

Oh Eli! I have waited for your book and it was so worth the wait. I loved Eli. He is by far my favorite of the Crane brothers, even when he was a grumpy a-hole.

"Life doesnt have to be this hard, Eli. Youre home now. Youre no longer required to fight for a living. So stop fighting, yeah?

Eli Crane was gruff, grumpy, and needed some tough love. After losing his leg in the war, he didn't know what to do with his life. He did know that he was not going to join Crane Enterprises like his brothers though.

Enter Isabella. When none of her PAs can survive the wrath of Eli she decides to take on the job herself. However, when the sparks start to fly, neither knows how to handle it.

I never imagined someone like you existed.

Seriously, I loved this book and even if you haven't read the others in this series (though I have no idea why), you need to have Eli in your life. Under that gruffness is a heart of gold and it takes the right woman to bring it out. Hot, sweet, funny, sad  this story had it all. Plus you get to see a lot of all of the other Cranes and their women! (5 stars)

Shayla's Story' was one of those books that I was eagerly waiting for and after finishing I wasn't disappointed, for me it was worth the wait.  Shayla is the niece of Tom Clemmins who was featured in `No More Wasted Time'.  I love how this story takes place at the same period as NMWT, but told from Shayla's POV.  Her back story is she is estranged from her family and went to live with her uncle Tommy as soon as she was able.  A reason - On paper she has the perfect life. She is assistant to one of the top movie stars in the world.  She  has been dating Mat who is the perfect boyfriend from a very political family.  Although Mat is reserved and into his political life he does treat Shayla well, but something is missing.  I won't reveal what happened with these two but at some stage Shayla decides to get away and attend the wedding of her uncle Tommy and fiance Tess Mathews, located in Greece.  It is on the plane ride over that Shayla and John meet and the sparks were jumping off the pages between these two.  A season - John is a bit of a hot head, a play hard kind of guy, but he is also very protective of his mom and sisters,  which is such an endearing quality.  During the wedding weekend these two basically fall in love.  Who would not fall in love with someone you are attracted to while visiting a romantic country over a 2 day period?  (It happened to me  while visiting my future husband in Ireland and yes it was a quick visit).  Shayla refuses to make any commitments about her future while in Greece because she still has a boyfriend at home and she wants to do the right thing, but this leaves John confused and angry as he wants Shayla now and doesn't want her with anyone else.  Not giving much away, Shayla confront's Mat over his lack of affection for her and asks him do they have a future together.  Mat comes to a a realization of his own.  I really just want to tell you what happens next but I can't.  You have to read it yourself.  A Lifetime -  Beverly Preston loves the HEA and she makes that known so you can guess the outcome  .  It is beautiful, it is romantic, it is what you want as a reader.  John is a book boyfriend you will grow to love.  He is sexy and fun, loves the outdoors and is solid in his devotion to his mom and sisters and now, Shayla.  The Epilogue was perfect and I admit I got a little teary eyed.  I hope you all will love it as well.

I would recommend this book to others, no questions asked.  It can be a standalone but I think you need to understand the story of John and you get more of him in `No More Wasted Time'.  I love Beverly's story telling and am looking forward to the remaining stories in the series.

I don't think I've fully recovered from the awesomeness that This Time Around truly is. I love finding an author that I enjoy reading time and time again, but even more so when you can see the author's work getting better and better with each story. I find this amazing especially when you don't think that there is anyway for them to improve upon their talent. Stacey has always delivered characters that I love, and stories that I want to hold onto long after the final words are read. This Time Around was no exception.

Cooper was not at all what I was expecting as an actor needing to escape Hollywood for a while. He was amazing and just lost enough that these two would be perfect at helping each other find their way. I found myself getting frustrated with the story because I wanted them to hurry up and get together. I knew that they weren't meant for each other and didn't want to wait, of course there wouldn't have been a story to read if that had been the case so I am so grateful that Stacey made me wait for these two to find their way.

This Time Around is the first book in the Love in the Heartland series and I cannot wait for the next one.

I really did enjoy this story, but not as much as I had hoped I would.  The beginning was a bit slow for me-dealing with Ivys PTSD and unwillingness to talk about her problems, but at times the story was pretty emotional (Ren is seriously swoony).  Then things picked up around the halfway point.  There were several twists I hadnt seen coming!

I did like seeing Ivy and Rens relationship get stronger, their love for one another was evident in everything they did for each other.

Then there was Tink!  I just love that little brownie!!  Hes funny, caring, totally random, and fierce in his protectiveness for those he calls family.

All in all, this was a 4-4.5 star read for me.  I read the kindle version and I will point out that there were several typos and extra/missing words throughout the story. For me, it sometimes slowed the flow of reading since Id have to pause and figure out how it was meant to be worded.  Others may not even notice.  Now I cant wait til the novella is released!!

I was given an opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest opinion and I'm glad for the chance. This hit man finally finds someone who makes him feel anything and he's supposed to take her and sell her away but he's decided she's his and that he's just not giving her up for anything or anyone now he's just got to make good on that or he'll lose her forever. I hope you take the time to get this book and enjoy it as much as I have there is no cliffhanger and can be read as a standalone without any problems.

I found this wonderful Hammer some time back but it was already after Christmas and my husband's birthday wasn't until September. I quickly stuck it in my hidden cart so he would not come across it. The thing is, he collects hammers and hangs them in the garage. We make monthly trips to the swap meet to find odd or antique ones. So when I found this I was elated. Then Fathers Day came up and there was my chance and I took it. I am quite happy with it. It's beautiful and you know how hard it can be to shop for a man. Not every wife can run out and buy him a Ferrari. So this was that one special gift that would really make it special. A once in a life time find. Unlike his hammers in the garage, this one is on our mantle above the fire pace and hold a special place in his life. I wanted to share a couple of pictures. His collection and his hammer from Thiswear.

It takes a strong and grown man to step up to take of a child that is not his and has not been born yet. He is even willing to claim him as his own even considering the child is of another race. And given the child his last name. Just beautiful.
