Sweet and Romantic! Feel-good book!

The Contract was a very sweet, very romantic, well written book. I loved the story and the characters. It was more of the contemporary genre than new adult, but it was sweet and had everything I enjoy....with the addition of my required HEA.
The first 20%, I didn't know if I was going to like it at all. The guy was not very nice, but from the moment he started warming up to the girl, by heart swooned and never stopped.

It isn't a very spicy read, but if you want a good story with a feel good vibe and a lot of romantic, swoony worthy moments, this would be an excellent choice!

Favorite lines.....

"When you get older, Richard, you realize life is made up of moments. All sorts of them. Sad ones, good ones, and great ones. They make up the tapestry that is your life. Hold on to all of them - especially the great ones. They make the others easy to take."

"Sleep, sweetheart. You're safe. Nothing will hurt you I promise.".......
......"I've never let anyone stay here. This is my safe place. Only mine." I tightened my embrace. "Now, let it be yours. Sleep. I've got you."

I've been meaning to read one of her books for awhile now, and have two others waiting patiently on my Kindle, but the cover of this one and the blurb really grabbed me, so I bought it and started reading. Well, it's a good thing that today is a day off for me, because I read it straight through and just finished now. I really liked the characters in this book, especially Dex and his co-workers Mitch and Regina. I want to read about their romance! I wanted to shake Ellie more than once as I read this, but it all rang true and was just a really sweet (and somewhat steamy) love story.

If you like romances that are full of emotional angst, with likable characters that you will root for, you will enjoy this book. It's a fast read as well, and I look forward to reading more in this new series.

Oh Happy Days!  I am still smiling!  I finished this at 12:30am this morning. When I awakened from sleep, I realized I had dreamed about this book!  I do that sometimes, my mind continues with the story, or adds to it, but only for those that I truly love, enjoy, and/or are inspired by.

This story had it all, it was funny, romantic, heart-warming, and suspenseful.  It made me cry, laugh, swoon, and drool, oh - It had an AWESOME super-HERO - NOX!
  "A man like Nox is wild.  You can't tame him.  You don't even try,"

What more could you ask for?  A super witty, and strong female lead?  It had that > Lily, and an amazing cast of supporting characters, Terah, Boo, and Rock!

Terah cracked me up, I mean talk about comedic relief,
  "Fine!  Become a crazy cat lady.  See if I care.  Don't say I didn't try to help when you're stroking your pussies all night long wishing someone was stroking yours."

Boo and Rock were so sweet, funny, and supportive of Lily and Nox.  They wanted Nox to be happy and wanted him to have normal, but because the three of them didn't "exist", they feared for Lilly's heart and Nox's job.

I loved watching the relationship develop between Lily and Nox;
  "He never rushed me.  He wouldn't drop me.  He was my shield.  He would protect me.  Against almost anything."

  "Nox loves iced tea, and it reminds me of home."

  "His arm falls lower, across my neck with a hand resting on my shoulder.  I tried to pull away but Nox has other ideas.  As if he doesn't even realize it, he talks away with his arm still around me."

And something as sweet and simple as listening to music together was so real and touching that I felt like a fly on the wall watching their relationship blossom.

They know they are fighting against time, waiting for when she has to return home and he has to...return.  But, he promises,
  "Doesn't matter where you are baby, I'll come for you...I'll come for you."

He loves her spirit, she loves his protectiveness.  They simply love each other.

Willing Captive is a must read if you want to smile, cry and drool!

Awww, this was sweet! It left me with a happy glow when I finished reading it. A lovely story of a innocent childhood friendship between Alex Montgomery, son of a wealthy couple who had a summer home at the beach, and Rosa Capoletti, daughter of the Montgomery's gardener -- a friendship that develops into something more as they grow older. They're seperated by circumstances, and then meet up again as adults, and carefully try to reconnect with each other.
This book is full of warm-hearted characters who I loved getting to know, as well as some scrumptious-sounding Italian recepies that I can't wait to try. All in all, it's the perfect summer read, sweet and satisfying.

What a fun read! I was looking for something a little bit more light hearted with a HEA and that is exactly what I found here.  I liked that there was a good build up of romance versus a love at first site.  I think it made the connection between the characters that much more fun to follow.  If you want a truly romantic book to read that will make you smile then this is the book for you! Enjoy!!

Joyce's novel is a sweet, feel-good story. Frank, the owner of a record store in 1988, is able to match up customers to records/songs they will enjoy.  (Reading this made me think about book stores that could easily do this for their customers).  Frank's store is struggling to remain open as CDs begin to take over the music scene and he remains true to vinyl records.  When a woman walks in to his shop one day and faints, Frank is interested in this woman, yet she disappears before the two can really connect.

There is an entertaining cast of characters and plenty to smile about in this book, and Joyce nicely ties everything up by book's end.

This is a sweet, feel-good book. No profanity, no sex, no blood and gore, and it was nice reading a story that didn't have any of those in it for a change.  I do read books - a lot of books, in fact - that include "adult" content but it's not always needed (or wanted), as shown in MAJOR DADDY.

Yes, everyone was kind of too good to believe and there really wasn't any conflict  in the story but I was okay with that.

I liked all the characters in the book including the little boys - they were sweet.

I wish there had been more military content in the book since one of the main characters is an Army Ranger but all in all, I thought this was a well written short "happy" book.

What a sweet, sweet book from a sweet, sweet author.  The story brings back so many happy memories of my childhood and the insecurities of my own teenage years .  It is filled with vivid images of Carolina Beach and the good-ole days of growing up in Rocky Mount. Lynn is such an enthusiastic and encouraging soul and her personality shines through her writing.  She just makes you feel good about life when you meet her and this book will make you smile and be filled with joy!  Great job, my friend...couldn't put it down until I finished!

I love myself a fluffy, feel-good, easy read!

"Caught Up In Us" is every girl's dreamed up version of a rekindled love lost. It is sweet, sexy and has scenes with enough umph to give you "the feels".

I enjoyed the witty banter between the characters and felt their chemistry jump out of the pages (or in my case, phone screen).

 All in all, I'm looking forward to more books from this author.

I absolutely adored this sweet read from Ashlee Mallory. Her Backup Boyfriend left a big fat happy smile on my face when I was done reading this book. If you are a big fan of a hero, who is family oriented, sweet, kind, generous, sexy and fun then this book is for you. It had all the elements that will keep readers happy and entertained. This heart-warming book was light, fast paced and full of sweetness. Ms. Mallory treated her readers to a lovable characters that you couldn't help but fall in love with. This book reminds us all that its okay to want big things in life but in the process don't lose sight of what's really important. At the end of the day, you should be happy and surrounded by the people who truly loves and accepts you. So if you are looking for a book, that encompasses family values, love, and being happy then Her Backup Boyfriend is a must read.

What a fun and enjoyable book!  I loved the idea of writing paper hearts to my sweetheart during the year  especially to keep myself from saying something I shouldnt!

Abigail runs a bookstore in the town of Loves Park, where Valentines Day is almost their biggest holiday.  Unfortunately, she is single.  But when her stores existence is threatened by the new building owner, shes not sure if she should run him out of town or run into his arms.
This is a wonderfully romantic book, just in time for Valentines Day, as both the girl and the guy have difficult obstacles to overcome but seek God as they do.  I found myself rooting for them and hoping that Kelly, the nasty wanna-be seductress, would get out of the picture!

This was such a great book  I didn't want it to end!  I highly recommend it  and the trailer for it too! I received this book from bookfun.org in return for my honest opinion.

Happily Ever Kissed is a light-hearted read, and a perfect escape when you want a feel good romance. Vicky Holt spins a story around the delightful character of Ava who runs a bed and breakfast and sadly, in her early twenties, she has never been kissed. Ava uses the characters of the romance novels she reads to fill the void moments of her days, as the basis for evaluating the men she meets. Who can live up to the fictional characters? While Ava longs for her first kiss and happily ever after, a true romantic hero enters her life and he isn't anyone she's pictured on the front of the novel of her life. He's better.

This story made me so happy. It felt so real! I was laughing so hard at times. I felt like I could relate to both Hannah and Drew. I loved the different was they grew up and on my goodness Hannah's dad is so funny and caring. I was a little surprised with how reserved her mom was with her dad. Drew is a really likeable guy and is in Hannah's eye the competition. When I finished this book I was just happy. I love to read a good sweet romance that hit the spot. This did if!  I look forward the next book in the series. I will be reading more from Janice Thompson as this was my first read by her.  I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a sweet yet funny romance!

Just FYI~This story was free of any sex or swearing!

This was a very sweet romance that leaves you feeling happy when you get to the end. It's a very quick read and I really enjoyed it. Without giving too much away as it is better to read it youself, just know that Kennedy is a chef and her boss is looking to cut costs, so he brings in an external consultant Alex Wells, who happens to be the younger brother of her best friend Harper. Only Alex isn't so little anymore! I recieved an ARC for my honest review.
