A Love worth fighting for

Once again, Christi Caldwell does an amazing job with both the characters and the story in this book.  She has an ability to write about broken people without making you pity them but instead, makes you want to pull for them and their happiness.  She manages to write the story so you laugh and cry but you would never be emotionally detached from what is happening on the page.  This is the kind of story that draws you in and makes you want to keep reading.
Lord Robert Dennington, the Marquess of Westfield, future Duke of Somerset didn't believe in love.  He had at one time, until his grandfather seduced the woman that Robert had been planning to marry to show Robert that she was only after him for his money.  Now 12 years later, still single, Roberts father, the current Duke was pressing Robert to get married.
Helena Banbury definitely didn't believe in love.  Her mother had been in love with the Duke of Wilkinson, but unlike a wife, she was his mistress so she could (and was) sent away when the Duke tired of her and her children.  She took up with another protector, Diggory, who was someone they really needed to be protected from.  After her mother dies, Diggory abused Helena, leaving her with both physical and emotional scars.  She was saved from his abuse by her older brother, Ryker but life was hard.  She lived on the street until Ryker opened a gaming hell and she became his bookkeeper.
Her whole life changes one night when a drunken Robert wanders into the private apartments at the gaming hell and ends up in Helenas bedroom.  Ryker recognizes that Helena needs a different life and so she is sent to live with her father, the Duke of Wilkinson and his family.  The Duke is overjoyed to have Helena there for the season.  His young daughter Diana is also overjoyed.  The only one who is upset by her presence is the Duchess.
Coincidentally, Roberts father and Helenas father are best friends.  Helena and Robert meet under dubious circumstances at a ball.  They agree to fake a courtship so Robert can avoid all the title-hungry young misses and Helena can avoid all the fortune hunters.  Sparks fly every time they are together.  Two people wary of love find themselves beginning to fall for each other.
Can they overcome all the obstacles to a match?  Will they put aside their preconceived notions of love, class and status?  I won't spoil the story but will say it is worth reading to see how everything works out.

FOLLOW ME BACK is the second in Ms Jackson's FIGHT FOR ME series. Each book can be read as a standalone so don't stress if you haven't read book one, SHOW ME THE WAY. Once again Ms Jackson has taken me for a ride on her emotional rollercoaster, where there was tears, laughter, frustration and angst.

This is the story of Kale Bryant and Harley Hope Masterson, two people broken in ways no others can see. Kale is a man who could be easily love, even though his past has left him cold-hearted and surrounded by many barriers. Hope enters his life and proceeds to turn it inside out, but slowly begins to break down his defences. But was it worth it? Will the heartaches of the past be strong enough to destroy the relationship that they having been slowly building? Will Hope's strength be enough for both of them?

A beautifully written story, that will have you emotionally tied to both Kale and Hope. Words flow magically, leading you on a wonderful journey of discovery and love. A wonderful addition to an already heartfelt series. i simply cannot wait to read more.

This is the second book and a series. Mrs. Wright did not disappoint with this book. I read the first book  (The Forbidden Man) and I knew that I would read anything written by this author. This story of love is amazing. Red and Cali try to fight what's meant to be, but once they finally admit that they love each other they have to fight to keep their love in tact while also dealing with life, and loss. Eventually with the support of family and friends and the love that they have for each other these two people who have always loved each other, but were afraid to admit it finally find love. The story is not predictable at all, in fact I was so made a Cali at one point I had to stop reading it for a day. You will not be disappointed.

This was a wonderful book about love, loss and trying to decide to find love again. Love was right in front of him and he couldn't  even see it until someone pointed it out to him. A must read.

Such an interesting way to share accounts and tell a story -- through poetry. True love is hard to come by now-a-day. This book gives those who wish for such a love, hope that it can one day finds it's way into their lives. It also demonstrates the importance of fighting for what you love and believe in. I can only dream of having a woman who loves me 1/2 as much as this author loved her man.

Keela O'Mara and Daniel Delaney are on a journey although both will fight tooth and nail as it unfolds.  Daniel is a physical medicine doctor who has returned home to Sandpiper Beach to open up a clinic after his life is torn apart.  He will keep his focus on helping those who suffer physical injuries but will not risk his heart again.
  Keela came from Ireland to America to be with the man of her dreams.  However, he did not turn out to be what he claimed to be.  Their marriage ended in divorce but she did receive the most precious gift possible, her daughter Anna.  She has no desire to get involved again.  She won't risk her heart being trampled on and she especially won't risk her daughter being hurt.
  Daniel and Keela's proclamations are on a collision course.  He has hired her as the physical therapist for his clinic.  She is the best employee he has ever had.  However, she also has a smile that lights up whatever room she is in.  Meeting her daughter is terrifying because she reminds him of all he has lost, but as he finds himself spending more time around her, little Anna is slowly capturing his heart.
  Forever A Father us a warm, wonderful story of two people who are so attracted to each other but are afraid to take a risk.  I fell in love with the Delaney family and Keela feels like a sister from another mother.  Lynne Marshall has written another amazing story that brings all your emotions to the surface but leaves you feeling very happy and satisfied by the end.

Lori O'Neil is a compassionate, kind hearted woman. Even after losing her husband and finding herself pregnant, she selflessly devotes herself to helping others. Except for her brother-in-law...well, ex-brother-in-law. Carson feels responsible for everyone and everything. Including his brother's widow.
  He has had his share of heartache, and has encased his heart with a protective barrier. But he didn't count on Lori. No matter how much he tries to push her away, he simply can't.
  Lori wants to reach out to Carson, but he is so hard to read. She won't stop trying though.
  There was so much depth to this story, and I don't mean just the romance. Marie Ferrara has a way of spinning so much heart and love into a story that you just know you are going to love it.
  This story centers around St. Augustine's teen center. As they fight to keep the center open, they find they are fighting an attraction that neither of them expected.
  A wonderful story filled with lots of heart and caring.
