Was so thrilled to have Joely finally get her story. I have loved each of the Invitation to Eden books, but this one was something more than a good read. I loved seeing Joely finally realize her true worth and seeing her open up her heart.

Sigh.....

What a fun, fresh and flirty story!  I loved it!  Thoroughly capturing and very enjoyable.  It felt like I was looking at beautiful and colorful pictures of spring while in the midst of a winters storm.

Poor Dr Bertie Clark comes back from her honeymoon, her postcard to all pinned up on the notice board - Bertie feels like it may as well have had a flashing neon arrow light pointing at it screaming LIAR.  No one knows her wedding was called off by her cheating fiancee.  No one knows she was on her honeymoon alone and no one knows how Bertie feels keeping up appearances because she's too embarrassed to tell anyone the truth.

While she's been away her new boss Dr Matt Bishop has started and from the moment they meet the sparks fly.  The interaction between Bertie and Matt is classic!  Not classical, but classic in terms of humour.  Bertie isn't afraid to speak her mind and when she feels safe under the pretense of being married it gives her the courage to give him the 20 questions about his personal life just as she seems to be getting from him.

Written in such a unique way in terms Melanie Milburne's usual style, I actually checked the cover more than once to make sure I was reading a book written by Melanie (I mean that in a good way). I think her humour and fun and flirty style has peeked through in previous Medicals but in this one it shines through and pours in like the sun breaking through and busting out of nasty rain clouds.

Written completely in the first person the entire story is told in Berties point of view, which made for delightful reading. Bertie really is as she's described in the book - a Poppy among a field of Oats. Her back story is weaved thru the story like a ribbon thru hair.  She's had such a hippy background and although her and her sister have slightly rebeled against it, it's helped her apply her heart to her job and show Matt how her research can help the ICU patients. The setting, the ICU department, made for a nice change, I really liked the few patients that were focused on throughout the story, I really wanted them to pull through.

Matt is devine too, the perfect hero for such a likeable heroine.

I liken A Date with Her Valentine Doc to a chic lit mixed with medical romance mixed with good ole fashion humour.  Boy did I giggle!  Matt grew on me very quickly and I loved how all was revealed with him (you'll know what I mean when you read the story) because it was just about at that point I was like hold-up, what is he doing???  I think it's a true talent to still get the right about of romance into such a quirky and fun read.  I couldn't believe it when I reached the last page, the story flew by and in those quick hours Bertie certainly left an impression, I've walked away feeling really happy.

If your winter needs some brightening up, or you want some more sun in your shine - don't go past A Date with Her Valentine Doc!

This was sort of like a late coming of age story, about an adult really finding his self worth in a world trying to dictate his every move.  Kevin and Anders' journey of friendship to love was beautifully told in an adventurous and fun way.  And to learn how serious the disease Kevin has was informative and scary.

This makes me want to pick up hiking!  Without an ex boyfriend though!!!!  Good grief!

I liked how the author was able to create both MC's as authentic likable human beings with flaws and the people they meet along the way were funny and a bit crazy, good, fun crazy, especially Chex Mix!! LOL

Sex & Sourdough, I wish I could pin point what was hot, what was new, what was more invigorating about the intimate moments between Kevin and Anders but I can't.  All I can say was it was sweet mixed with sexy toped of with deliciously fulfilling.   Maybe it was just the way they met and got to know each other which created a perfect storm for steamy hot sex.  Ugh!  I don't know, maybe it's just how well the author writes, no matter how I try to figure it out it was hot and sexy.  Not overwhelming, it didn't take over the story at all and that's what I appreciate about this authors writing style.

Now, I honestly did not expect the trouble that happened throughout the story and it came to a somewhat shocking end.  It's like I kind of expected it, but I was still shocked by it.  I'm still left thinking, WTH!

Anyway, this is such a great contemporary mm romance tale, with just the right amount of angst, romance, family, fun, action (sort of), and shock value.  Terrific read.

Please, please let someone young and talented like  Matt Baca  be the narrator when this story makes it to audibles.  Please, I'm begging here!!!

Oh, and a story for Cole is desperately needed!  Like now...

Popular Journalist & Single mom, Avery Weston, was furious! It was a few days before Christmas and her Christmastime with her son, Eli, was getting ruined! Mitchell was a tough, yet great boss, but what he was demanding was simply too much! He expected her to do a story in a Podunk town in the middle of Nowhere! She had no choice! At least her son could accompany her, along with a photographer.
The trip was a disaster from the start!
Enjoy the humorous, incredible adventures of the threesome on their trip to Nowhere!

The characters were so fun! The author has created delightful personalities in this delightful story, bound to brighten the reader's day! The scenes are painfully portrayed, giving the reader the feeling of being there.  The Cover and Title are a perfect fit!

This is a Holiday story to delight YA and adults alike!

This is the cute story of an orphan girl who dreams of adventure from her place in a small town in Indiana at a home for "Wayward Girls" and how adventure finds her in the form a fiendish plot but she manages to save the day.

Audacity Jones, Audie for short, constantly breaks the rules at Miss Maisie's School for Wayward girls so she can be sent to the Punishment Room, which is actually a library. There Audie reads all sorts of books, some for knowledge (there is a law book and an etiquette book she mentions) as well as fiction and expands her mind. Soon she finds herself dreaming of her own adventure when lo and behold it shows up on Miss Maisie's doorstep. Commodore Crutchfeld shows up in search of an orphan under false pretenses. From his description I rather pictured a man who looks like Colonel Sanders. He is attended by a driver by the name of Cypher. This book takes place quite a while ago, when automobiles were newly discovered and horse and buggies were still common. President William Taft is in the White House.

Audie is swept away into a life of luxury with the Commodore with promises of a secret mission only Audie can take on. Audie becomes suspicious of Cypher for holding odd hushed late night phone calls but the Commodore is not interested in her findings. At last they reach Washington DC where Audie has been recruited into the kitchen to help an English cook make the president's favorite, Terrapin soup (turtle soup... ick). Except this is no ordinary Englishwoman and she is a terrible cook. There is mischief afoot but Audie finds out too late about the woman and Colonel's dastardly plot. However, with the help of friends new and old, she is able to save the day.

I really liked this book. Audie is a very fun character and the author did a good job of making you feel like you were back in time when Taft was president. The descriptions of some of the settings and characters really made you feel like you were part of the story. I saw this might be #1 in a series and I certainly hope we get to see more of Audie and her friends. Great story for bedtime!

Super cute and fun read!! Not too sexual, as the cover and title insinuate..... Easy reading story about a girl, her two best friends, and her search for her lost "O" I'd recommend this to anyone who likes to giggle and have a smile whilst enjoying a nice story

I love when Lisa Scottoline and her daughter get together and tell stories! They are entertaining storytellers who touch my heart, make me think, and often cause me to truly laugh out loud!! It's been a joy not only to read this collection of essays (articles Lisa wrote for a Philadelphia newspaper) but  also listen to the audiobook. Hearing Mom and daughter tell their stories themselves was an added pleasure! Keep on writing ladies! Friends and family are getting this one for Christmas - because like Lisa says, "Get people gifts YOU really want!" Hint. Hint.

Holy smokes! When did Elle become such a bad ass?!?! I knew the girl was strong but whoa!!!!! She is a human woman kicking some born/bitten butt! I like how Keary has branched out the series and given it a new life. Elle has a wonderful story to tell and I know that I had pretty much forgotten that she was there through it all. Elle stayed in the background for so long now she is all "I am woman! Hear me ROAR!" I'm not surprised at her determination and her genius concoctions. She has a real chance at make a difference in the world of The Royals! I am too excited to see what happens next!

I may be all biased since Im a huge Aly fan, but I cannot even begin to express how much I enjoyed this one. Its her first foray into the world of m/m, and Im just tickled pink about all of it

I had a glimpse of Henry from the first book, The Fall Up. Hes Levees best friend. Hes out and out proud, and I really wanted to hear his story. He and Evan met when Henrys usual pilot went out of commission, so to speak, so came in Evan.

Lemme just say that Henry cracked me up with his thoughts. Not to make fun of him, but even when hes going thru his episodes while flying and hes exasperating others, hes hilarious in his freak-out. His thoughts and feelings for Evan are funny, emotional and endearing all at once.

Evan is just endearing even with his own doubts. Hes more serious than Henry but hes not without his own sense of humor. I like how he gets Henry. I love that when he fell hard, he fell hard! And that grand gesture at the end, sigh

Evan has his own issues. As comfortable as he is with his sexuality, its really unfortunate that the people around him were getting hung up on trying to figure him out and box him in categories unnecessarily, including Henry, although not for the same reasons as the other people. With all these outside opinions, Id say that can mess up anyone. Henry himself has his own hang-ups which developed out of his unpleasant childhood

Put them together, you know theres gonna be angst. And this is Aly of course, so thats like a given. And naturally, the heat, yes, theres heat!!! Plus all the geeky references...

... I love it, just freakin love it!!!

Back to Vegas! Just seeing the title got me excited! Did anyone remember? Will Kat remember? What's going to happen next!

Snappy was hysterical! I got excited about the possibilities and I love his story. Didn't think I would get invested in a turtle quite so much.

Once again, this story was a hit. This is Jilly and Vhyl's story. Vhyl's is an Acquisition Specialist looking for XiiX, a rare acquisition and ends up at Jilly's farm. Jilly needs money or the bank will take the farm. Vhyl's enemies are also looking for the XiiX. As usual, when dealing with the big purple aliens, there is a lot of funny dialogue between the characters. After a series of events, including a jellyfish like alien, the "men in black", the bank and a crocodile type alien kidnapping, Vhyl's realizes he no longer wants to be alone and returns to rescue Jilly. I found the Christmas celebration in the epilogue especially funny.
Loved this story and look forward to other stories about the big purple dudes. I highly recommend this series.

So happy to see Ellie and Graham again!  I think it shows that life can get away from you even though there is happiness out there.  Sometimes you just have to realize it.  Glad to get a sneak peak of them again! :)

How on Earth was this my first Emma Hart book?!? Like ommmmmgg this was seriously laugh out loud funny!! Mellie is seriously hysterical and I loved everything about her! Her and her friends had me cracking up the entire time!

Mellie and her friends are out drinking during Mardi Gras when someone gets the idea that they should earn some beads! With enough alcohol in her system, Mellie flashes a hottie in a balcony. Fast forward a couple of days and guess who her new boss is? Yup! The hottie!!! Mellie is BEYOND mortified and has to figure out how to treat her boss who's seen her boobs.

Mellie is seriously soooo funny! She is a massive klutz and seems to drop, destroy, or ruin everything within her path. While she is a little insane she is also in charge of managing a hotel so she's really given a definition to the term Hot Mess!

This book is told mainly from Mellie's point of view but there were a couple of chapters that were told from Jake's perspective. I realllllly liked Jake! He was the perfect balance to Mellie's insanity. I loved how he was totally enamored by Mellie and her clumsy behaviors! The two of them together were seriously cute and totally a perfect match!!

I am super excited for the next in the series! This series will be covering the stories of the three best friends and it seems like each one can only get funnier and funnier!! SO excited!!

This story is so much fun to read. I was a little skeptical after reading a few pages in the sample, but was captured - hook, line, and sinker - once I got reading. In fact, I spent my entire Sunday reading this book in one session. Could not put it down!
The way the author has written the story, it's like JJ is talking right at you. Like you're having lunch with the girl.
I must admit I "switched teams" often throughout the book between Danny and Phillip. Both guys are sweet and dreamy. It was great to see all 3 kids grow-up together. And in the end, well, you'll just have to read it to find out who Jadyn ends up with.
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get incredibly frustrated. But, you'll be smiling the entire way while reading this book. Highly recommend it!
