Nathan and Bella, Nathan was a biker, and Bella and investigator, the amount of chemistry these two had in this book was incredible, the author really got that.  I couldn't put the book down, and could relate to this book in so many ways!  The author did an amazing job at capturing the love these two had for each other, yes their relationship is a rollercoaster but one isn't? Definitely a book you should read!

I received this book in exchange for a honest review. This book was a Phenomenal book and I love how the author took two ordinary people that weren't rich or lived off any trust funds. She brought them together and had her readers experiencing the joys and pains that they went through together and individually. The characters were relatable and likeable. This is a first time read for me by this author. I will definitely be reading more of her books.

I loved this story. You can feel the strength of the bond between these two individuals so well described. I felt like I was freezing when THEY were freezing. I could feel their pain, smell them, see them and taste their victories and their failures.  It is rare that an author can get your head so far into the depth of human pain and accomplishment. I hope everyone can read this and then want to have a closeness that this author portrays!

This book is amazing it brought Tears to my eyes. I got emotional with Rachel Fisher and  Mike Lantz.. and can not forget about Little John  Mike's  Half brother. I wish they have continue their relationship in the book. The courting was just beginning I wanted to have a wedding plan.. It's about loving and trusting and letting God plans work for them in his way,  it's about being selfless and caring and helping out in their time of need.

The amazing part of this book that got me was the timeline.  Most books are written in the current time table of life, but to read this book and see the growth of love between Avery and Kane through a time where homosexuality was a true "dark secret" kept the story so much more touching.

The love of these two men is absolutely amazing and so inspiring.  I feel in love with both of them for so many different reasons.

The tears of heartache and joy are such a relief after growing with these men.

The ending could not have been more perfect.  One thing is for certain, I am sure there is a "big man" up stairs not happy with all the hate.  Love is love and God is Love.

Two lost and broken souls find each other and become an amazing love story. It was astonishing the amount of strength and resolve both Silas and Hayley have. It surprises me that Silas never thinks to introduce Hayley and Evangeline. I was also thrown by how after recognizing and becoming upset with Drake for his treatment of Evangeline Silas repeats the same actions. Overall this was a decent read and I hope there is another story focusing on Maddox who also deserves to find love.

This book is part of the Big Marietta Fair Series but stands very much on its own.
  What a heart touching story of the lives of Bailey Jenkins  and Paul Zabrinski. I learned along with them that a forever love doesn't forget and forgiveness doesn't have a time limit, even after fifthteen years it has not expired.
  I went from not really liking these two in the first chapter to absolutely loving them mid way in the book. And might I mention the emotions I felt along the way? I went from awes to choking sobs then to awe this sweeter than a Copper Mountain chocolate to the kind of tears that start with a sting to the nose and then the tears just flow. This book also tells the stories of some other couples besides Bailey and Pauls, And it is a keeper. I'm writing Debra Salonen a fan letter and I don't do to many of those.

Adam and Evies story had to have the sweetest, cutest first time meeting Ive ever read. In the first few pages of the book, the author sets up the intense connection that Adam felt for Evie and because of that I felt like he deserved his chance with her. So when they finally meet, it was as if his whole world had really changed for the better. Its what I loved most about their storythe vigor of their need and love for one another so terrifyingly powerful I as a reader could almost feel the vibrations bouncing off the pages of the book. Adam adored the hell out of Evie; it was loud and it was clear as crystal. There was never,  not even for a nanosecond of doubt that clouded his loyalty and his love for her. Though Evie was a lot more subdued in some ways, the depth of her love for him was just as strong. I think what made it so different for the both of them was that Adams whole world revolved around Evie and Evie alone. Born and raised to parents who were the farthest from being one, he was essentially ignored and used in the most heartbreaking ways. I thought it showed such strength in his character not to only to be able to express his love for Evie but to actually be able to understand what true love was even from someone like him whod never had an ounce of it growing up. Evie however, had her dad and little sister whom she loved deeply. Meeting Adam added more meaning, more love, creating an overflowing amount of goodness into her life. Things were beyond perfect for the both of them. Living their days on the beach, with their arms constantly around one another, it was smooth sailing and I so very much enjoyed every moment of it with them as well. But of course, the proverbial other shoe had to drop sometime and when it did, theres an endless amount of heart ache and loss.

I will admit that I had expected a ton more worth of angst. I was waiting for that crazy, confounding set of emotions to overtake me. And there were sparks of it here and there during a few scenes. Hints of that promise during some vital moments in the book but I couldn't really pin point an exact time where I just lost it all because of the emotional turmoil happening between two amazing characters. But what did me in, in the best sort of way was the love that existed between Evie and Adam. Their story is the definition of true, infinite love. The kind that time or tragedy could not diminish in the slightest. Thats what When I Was Yours is all about and thats what made me fall madly in love with the book. This was another satisfying second chance romance to add to my ever growing must read list.

Warning - some very serious topics are addressed in this book, but the author dealt with them with class and sensitivity.

With that addressed, the book was AMAZING!!!!!!!  Johnny and Bex had pasts that were both heart breaking and frightening. Neither one thought they could ever let anyone in, get through their pain, or ever love someone else.  Can they overcome all of their obstacles and be together?

Seeing both Johnny and Bex's raw emotions and vulnerability in this story was beautiful.  The ride was emotional, but absolutely FANTASTIC!!!

This is a very raw and deeply emotional book, but so incredibly worth your time.

Thank you LL Collins for sharing this beautiful story with us.

This book deserves a five-star rating for its cover alone but PS.. Youre Mine was also just insanely sweet and if you need a good dose of the feel-goods, you need to one-click the s*** out of this.
Theres just so much I loved about this book. I loved the way the process of writing letters to each other simultaneously built a bond between the two and created some delicious tension and anticipation. I loved how a modern (and sometimes painful) theme was laid out with the charm and sweetness of the values from earlier times and the grit of some very dirty words.
The characters were just both so adorable.  I really loved the idea of an ornery old army vet being filled with happiness by an innocent girl filled with goodness and in return a shy girl being broken out of her shell by the confidence given to her by a man totally entranced by her innocent charm.
From the first few tentative words shared between these two to a shy and unsure connection being built and the hot as hell fallout that came from it I was totally enamored with these two. Their story had my toes curling in enjoyment and I wish I could know these two as friends in real life just so I can squee my ass off in their presence.

Incapable of love, Incapable of commitment, Incapable of letting go, well we have two people Declan and Evie who are living life like this.  Two broken people who happen to cross paths and change the course of each others lives from incredible circumstances.

The emotion expressed for these two characters and on subjects that are quite confronting I believed was expressed in a raw, honest and respectful way.  I certainly did not pick Evie's big secret and it left me just wanting to pull her out of the book to rescue.  I have not read a romance story that had a secret like Evie's so that was quite dramatic and hard to swallow.

Now can I say I really loved the whole basis of this story, what would have blown it out of the park for me would have been to throw the Dectective who was helping Evie into the romance mix as I kind of got the feeling he may have had a simmering attraction to her, perhaps I was hoping as he was just so caring of Evie and her emotional wellbeing.  Don't get me wrong I am happy she loved Declan but I think it would have provided for some explosive scenes especially when both men just wanted to help Evie beat her demons and surive her ordeal.  I did feel the ending was slightly rushed and wound up when I really could have read a few more chapters.

I guess I just wanted to spend some more time with Declan and Evie.

Upon reading the first chapter, I could not put this book down.  I wanted to know how Michael and Elvira would overcome the obstacles that they faced.  The passion of the emotions they felt for each other is painted in words on every page. A beautiful story of a great love.  Sorry when I got to the last page but the warmth it left inside will always stay with me.

I found myself completely absorbed in this story. The couple has been married for twenty years and even though they love each other they've grown apart. They decide to divorce even though neither wants to, but to do so they must remodel their house to be able to sell it. What found so wonderful about this story was how true it was. Marriage and love are so easily lost because both parties feel unloved or underappreciated. When the couple looked inside themselves and each decided to give to the other, they rediscovered their love for each other and who they were as a couple. It was such a heart-warming story and reminded me that I need to show love to my hubby more often. The more love you give away the more you receive. I did receive a copy of this story for free in exchange for an honest review. But I loved the story so much I read it in one sitting and late into the night.

This book was hard to get into at first. Main character Kathleen James is reluctant to marry the love of her life because his grandmother is coming from Italy to live with him. The grandmother is very old and living alone after her sister dies it is the right thing for Dom to do, taking her in and helping her. Kathleen is scared that Dom's grandmother won't like her and she isn't sure she wants to start her new married life with another woman in her house.

By the middle of the book I was hooked on Dom's grandmother's love story with her late husband Ken. This book tells two amazing love stories Kathleen and Dom and Dom's Grandmother Antonia and Ken. This book made me laugh and cry. The relationships are real and dynamic and the plot is engaging and well thought out.

Author Aubrey Wynne does an amazing job of painting a picture with her words so you can almost see the each setting in your minds eye. I can't wait to read the rest of this series!

I found this book to be very emotional.  I felt such empathy for Sophie all the way through.  The author captured the good people in the world and also the bad.  So well written that it was hard to stop reading.  This is the second book I've read from this author and I will definitely read more.

An amazing recounting of the days between when the writer's wife was diagnosed with cancer and when she takes her final breaths. Absolutely beautifully and emotionally told, and in a manner that takes you into the heart, mind and soul of the author.  He literally takes you into their lives in such an personal and powerful way, one that caused me to put the book aside for a short while after the retelling of his wife's final days simply because I was emotionally drained.
Although few things in life could be worse than losing your soul-mate, the author speaks of the love that endures and the spirit of God that has seen him through his darkest hours.  It is a time of helplessness, some anger and bitterness, but most importantly, hope and love.  Through his experience, the author gives others a bold taste of his experience and then inspires everyone to remain faithful to God and to trust in Him.
Finally, it is a wonderful love story, told by a man who found himself helping to ease his wife's suffering by doing things most men would not or could not have done.  Through this new intimacy, he and his wife found touching ways to express their never-ending and deeply rooted love for one another.
Simply an incredible read and a necessary one for those who are experiencing a similar shattering of their lives.

For this to be this Author first book, she did a great job putting this story together.  I loved the relationship between Raquel and her girlfriends; the interaction was funny and loving.  Her relationship with Michael was just beautiful and loving.  Like all relationships they had their ups and downs, but in the end they got it together and knew their hearts were meant for each other.  This a story worth reading.
