Dale F. You stole my heart!

I never read Betwixt, but this book is a prequel so I thought I would give this novella a shot after reading the book synopsis. I am SO glad I purchased this book for my kindle. It was a quick read that I didn't put down.
Dale is one of the most relatable characters that I have read. He is the definition of teenage angst. Both adult readers and young adult readers will be able to relate to him. Before sums up a teenage journey; everyone has been in a situation like this at one point in their lives. I laughed, I cried...Dale broke my heart and put it back together again. I can't wait to read the next novella, and I already got my hands on the novel, Betwixt!

THIS BOOK WAS SO AWESOME!!!  There was so much passion in the words & in the characters! I swear to you every time I read Autumn Doughton's books, I can feel everything!

Landon & Gemma's story was so full of feeling.  I swear every time I read one of Autumn Doughton's books, I can feel what her characters feel.  It's a pretty amazing feeling to read a book like that.  It's amazing to feel that love, that hurt, the need.

I loved loved loved Gemma!  I typically don't care for the female in the books as much as the male, but I cared just as much, if not more, for Gemma in This Sky.  It was such a great experience reading this book.  I loved Landon as well, he was such a sweetheart.  I loved how he just went with the flow of things until they came to the place they were supposed to be :)

I need more of her best friend, Landon's sister & Smith!!!  I need more of that crazy! LOL!

I love reading books like this because they really make me glad I'm a reader & not a tv watcher! Haha! Thank you Autumn for writing this book!  And writing period.  I've read all your books & I can't wait till the next one!

Gosh!
I haven't been this crazy over a book in some time now!
To the point where I was literally swooning and having dreams about Emme and Nate charterers. Call me crazy if you will.
But, the heart needs what heart needs and I needed a great irresistible love story. One where the banter was off the charts, where the chemistry was singe worthy, oh and the smart as heck!

I got that and in volumes with Only You! The notion of stealing my heart with every word and every turn had me as a disheveled mess!
Heck, I wouldnt have it any other way. If a story is that perfectly follow with it, let it permeate your heart and run with it!

Oh my gosh! Allysa, you stole my heart and then broke it! I am still having a hard time recovering. If only you could see the tears I've shed. They are tears of the deepest sorrow and heart break and also tears of healing. You have a way with words that are like no other. I know my heart will slowly heal, much like Katie's. Such an amazing book! You have given me more than just the feels with this one! You have completely taken over my heart!! Xoxo babes

Michael has always been my favorite driver - even before he drove the #15 NAPA for DEI.  I loved him b/c he never gave up, had such a quick wit, and was so kind.  It was heartbreaking, jumping up and down in the comfort of my living room, watching him with the Daytona 500 and realizing something was terribly wrong.  I can't imagine how it felt to be in his position, the emotions he went through, walking such a fine line between self-pity, and inappropriate celebration.  I always felt he carried himself well, supported Dale Jr. without fail during those hard weeks and months and cheered them when they won in Daytona that year.
  The only detraction I have about the book is that I wished he'd gone into more detail about the years since 2001.  He glossed over a lot of topics I'd have loved to have read about - a more in depth discussion of MWR's creation and struggles, his marriage woes and the cheating scandal.  I did laugh out loud with his comment, "Where do you even GET rocket fuel?"  He will always be my favorite driver, b/c of the man he is, not because of his performance on the track.

"Welcome to Gingham Lakes, Alabama, where the grass is actually greener and the people are sweeter....."

SHOW ME THE WAY by A.L. Jackson is all kinds of wonderful! This standalone novel, a swoony single dad romance  in A.L. Jacksons  brand new Fight for Me series,  which revolves around three boyhood friends who are bound together by a tragic event, had me  DROWNING IN FEELS and HOPELESSLY HOOKED from page one !!!

In essence, this is a sweet, sexy and gloriously angsty small-town tale of two kindred spirits who have been both been beaten down and broken in lifes own cruel ways," and must decide whether to take a chance on each other. As with all her books, A.L. writes with INTENSE visceral emotion, vibrantly depicted via her gorgeously lyrical prose, and I fell so head over heels for these beautifully flawed characters!!!

Brynn was as sweet as the piping hot cherry pies she baked, and holy hotness! Rex! God. This. Man was EVERYTHING!!!!  I love me an angry, dominant Alpha with a ferocious protective streak and a big marshmallow heart, and add a fiercely devoted single dad into the mix and I am DONE FOR!  Rex in all his big, hard muscled, mouthwateringly SAVAGE glory gave me butterflies galore, and his tenderhearted exchanges with his beloved little Frankie Leigh were pure ovary exploding goodness! Speaking of his adorable little girl, Sweet Pea stole the show! She was so freaking adorable and I loved her connection to not only the hero but to Rynna as well!!

The plot was perfectly paced, with angst, passion, and feels galore, and there was also an exciting undercurrent of mystery and suspense  woven throughout to keep the pulse racing!!

Ultimately, SHOW ME THE WAY is an ACHINGLY BEAUTIFUL story about loss and regret, hope and healing, triumphing over your greatest fears, and taking a huge leap of faith on love!

A MUST READ for all you hopeless romantics out there!!

Shirley, first of all I am under my husbands account ( I'm Kathy ) but I wanted to thank you for taking the time in your busy life to write this book. You didn't have to but it shows how much you cared for Elvis and his fans. I cant even begin to tell you how much it touched me. You grabbed my attention in the very first chapter. You made it all too easy for my mind to orbit back in time like I was right thereas if I were
reliving it with you. You explained a lot of things that I wondered about, things I didn't know and you squashed a lot of rumors.  In the chapter, Game of Hearts I was so upset but then I turned the page and you had me in stitches of laughter when you told of Elvis teasing you with Vooooolare, and you telling him to shut up! Well, that right there was just hilarious and priceless to me so I forgot about being upset.  I think its absolutely wonderful that you and Joe have always remained close. Elvis brought you to Joe and then to us fans. Your book made me feel every emotion. Happiness, love, laughter, pain, forgiveness, sorrow. Thank you so much for sharing your life of memories with me.

*A wonderful love story by author Sierra Donovan that will have you totally captivated from the very first page to the very last chapter!  The last thing Christie Becker ever wanted to be was a loan processor at a bank but here she was doing just that!  So imagine her surprise when finally that one important phone call came through telling her she had landed an interview at KYOR Radio Station?  Finally broadcasting school paid off no more menial jobs she detested, she would now be doing the one thing she truly wanted to be, a disc-jockey!  Having listened to the infamous Rick Fox on the radio in her college years, Christie was not only nervous in meeting him but she certainly wasn't  prepared by his drop dead good looks either. He told her what he expected of her as far as her work duties were and  she would be working by herself at night and most of all, don't plan on having any personal life!  Wow!  He runs a tight ship, doesn't he?  No matter,she didn't go to school for nothing and she wasn't looking for romance of any kind!  Nervous doing the night shift all by herself even making a small mistake and she was amazed how quickly she covered the error.  She also couldn't keep the handsome Rick Fox off her mind either and that will be one error that won't be dismissed so easily. At home while listening to his radio station while running  on his treadmill, Rick Fox  was impressed by how Christie covered her tracks like that..good thinking on her part!  Also almost ashamed for thinking it, the best looking redhead he has ever laid eyes on.  He has never brought a romance into the working place in all the years he has been in radio.  Sure he has dated numerous amounts of women in his day but no such woman has ever peeked his interest before.  That is until the gorgeous Miss Christie Becker decided to walk right into his radio station and was about to change his life..."I knew you were going to be trouble", muttered Rick to himself.  The next day,  Rick asks Christie a favor?  Could you stay later to do a duo with me?  Normally it is someone else but they cannot come in due to a death in the family?  She agrees and their both stunned on how natural they were with each other on the air including when they threw in a little comedy, laughing while staring at each other knowing full well that it was wrong and fraternizing with the help usually meant automatic dismissal and they both knew it.  So what to do?  The chemistry between them isn't going away, the heat isn't getting extinguished, their touch is electric and any love mounting is not going to happen because Christie has found another love...being a disc-jockey!  Besides Rick has never even told her that he loves her and why should she give that up for her other love?  Or is Rick holding out for a reason?  Or is he going to do the best next thing by declaring  his "love on the air"?...........this was an amazing love story.......thank you

There wasn't any higher stars than 5, but this concert surpassed the rating above.  I just ordered both the two CDs and the Video of the  Wildlife Concert. I hadn't realized that there are DVD available so I will  be purchasing that because of the lyrics included, as I am hearing  impaired.  Oh how I wish I could have been there.  I put the video in and  turned our surround system on, and we (my boyfriend Ron and I) thought we  had died and gone to heaven.  I do believe this was the best I have ever  heard John sing, but he has always sung beautifully and I have always love  his voice. It just seemed he just kept getting better and better.  John's  voice has always made me either melt, get goose bumps or feel such emotions  that I could never describe them.  As we listened and watch him perform,  (we talked about it afterward), everything else cease to exit.  I was  trying very hard not to start crying.  Ron broke down when "Sunshine  on my Shoulder" was sung.  I finally broke down when in one of the  insert interview, John talked about how much he loved fishing and taking  Zak with him and how he hoped to someday take his grandchildren with him.  Tragically this will never happen.  We cried not so much that the songs  were so moving as they are, but that John is no longer here to spread his  gift, heart, kindness, gentleness and much, much more.  I would have loved  to have met this wonderful person.  I do have a new favorite song now  though, and grateful that I have it, as it has never been recorded in a  studio and the only way you'll get to hear it is on this Wildlife Concert.  I play it over and over till I drive my kids crazy with it.  It also made  me see just how romantic he was and I'm willing to bet a wonderful lover.  My Ron needs a few lesson from John, so maybe if I play it enough and make  Ron listen, he'll get the hint, LOL. I know I sure envy the lucky women  that had the opportunity to be intimate with him.  That song is called  "FOR YOU".  (I did notice the pain in John's eye as he was  singing this song though, was it the longing to find that kind of love, or  was it lost love?  It made my heart ache for him.)  This is the kind of  song that any woman in her right mind would want a man to sing or say to  her and vise versa for men.  I do know that if Ron and I ever get married  this will be our wedding song....  My heart goes out to John's mom, Ron,  his brother, Zak, Anna Kate and Jesse Belle, his children.  You were all  very lucky to have such a loved one in your lives...oh and what memories  you must cherish.  John will never be forgotten, for generations to  come.
A John Denver fan forever, Suze

I have always been a Don Johnson fan.  Back in the 80s, I loved to watch him in 'Vice.'  It wasn't long after that, "Heartbeat," was all over the radio waves.  Let me tell you, this song took me my ears to a whole new level of passionate music dimensions!!  I rushed out and immediately purchased the tape version (since CDs were just beginning to make their way into circulation.)  It's been over 20 years since his release of, "Heartbeat," and within that time, I wore the tape out, and still listen to it today.  As a matter of fact, I have it in my cassette player right now.  Unfortunately, only the first ten songs were put on tape, and the other six were added to the CD version.

What really made my Friday nights was when the, "Nash Bridges," series made its way to the television air waves.  I was glued to the television for every episode!!  And the Cuda!!  Don't forget the Cuda!!  That '71 Hemi Cuda just made the series even that much more spectacular.  I didn't miss a single episode of Nash.

What really broke my heart was when the series ended in 2002.  How was I ever to survive??  For those of you who are a true fan of Don Johnson, Nash Bridges hit the spot.  I love the guy!!  And yes, I am a movie buff.

There were many episodes where I'd be seen, eyes on the big screen, tears flowing down my face.  For the sad endings of Nash's love affairs and Evin's death, and Nick's heart attack, what really brought me to tears was when the series ended.  God I miss it.  Even still, I visit the Nash Bridges website at [...]  Also, thenetshow.com will take you to even more memorabilia of the S. I. U. team.

All I do pretty much now, is wonder what Don has in store for his fans in the near future.  Since Vice, Don has moved onto the big screen and singing.  I've seen all of his movies too!  I loved, "Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man," so much that I purchased the DVD.  I hope you find this review useful, and for those of you who think Don Johnson isn't what I believe him to be, then you really haven't been given a chance to see his wonderful potential for acting and singing.  There's nothing anyone can say to me to convince me otherwise.  Thanks for viewing!!  :-)

This beautiful books stole my heart from the very first chapter. It just oozes warmth, love, comfort and hope. I am a huge fan of dark romance, and have read several darker (but brilliant) books back to back, and then to open up this little slice of sunshine, it was just such a refreshing fun loving journey and I just ate it up cover to cover.

First I had my heart stolen by Balthazar Cox. "HE LOOKS LIKE THE KIND OF GUY WHO MAKES MIDNIGHT CONVERSATIONS TURN INTO MORNING PANCAKES." -SOLD!

He's this "Beastly Brit" with a freaking heart of GOLD. He loves his boys and they are his whole entire world, until Matilda Shows up. She turns his whole world upside down. The things this man feels for her, with his big huge loving heart, the things he says, are just SWOON-TASTIC! I mean, I can literally feel my heart going pitter patter while reading.

I want to share this dang quote with you guys so bad, but I don't want to spoil anything... so all I will say is BOTTOM OF PAGE 147 ya'll. Squeal!

And next my heart was so totally stolen by this majestic beautiful girl, Matilda Pearl. My new book Bestie. :) She bakes, she giggles, she plays with the boys, catches toads and rescues animals, she does charity and finds beauty in all things. She's been s*** on by her family her whole life but she still knows how to love in the very purest way. She's this kind loving soul but she's also got a little badass in her.

"Let me tell you something about my heart." I tap his chest with one finger as I bounce my knee. "It doesn't pretend. It reveals. I trust that it won't trick me. But what I don't trust its hat you won't"

These two beautiful people have found each other through the death of Matilda's sister, Balthazar's wife. And they have found not only comfort in each other... but a home.

You will absolutely NOT be disappointed in this amazing book. It has every element that makes for a wonderful fun read! Its Sweet & Funny, Its has Chemistry & Angst, and its so sexy! I can't wait to read more from this wonderful author. New reader for life right here.

I love returning to Bender Lake and its inhabitants because the journey is always magical and uplifting. Once again author Diane J. Reed has cast a spell with her word-craft! I devoured this novella like a bag of candy corn...sweet and addicting...and I highly recommend it, whether this is your first time in the Robbin' Hearts Series or your fifth! Granny Tinker, a wild and beloved character, returns but I also loved Lacie Blade...a new character whose love for her child and her grit and passion endeared me to her right away. Diane has a real knack for character - they are vibrant but at the same time vulnerable, each in their own way, and totally relatable. This is the perfect October short read. Now we need a novella for springtime, please!

Beckett Hanson was getting along fine, working for a man for whom he'd gained a certain respect and loyalty, and, in fact, was on a job when Michael called him and told him to go immediately to an address and "intercept and retrieve" who turned out to be a former employee of their agency, EGIS.

We never learn how Michael knew she was there. Nor did he know that when Beckett saw her again, his heart would stop and his mind would immediately flash back to the love and desire he felt for this woman. He'd had to harden his heart and forget her when she took off and disappeared without saying a word to anyone...

Michael didn't tell Beckett that he'd been hunting for her for as long as she'd been gone, believing she'd stolen property from EGIS...

Indigo Grey was being hunted. She was also on the hunt! Beckett had stepped into a very dangerous situation...and his heart wouldn't let him do anything but help her...

It doesn't take long for readers to fall deeply and totally into this story. The opening is snappy, fun, and mysterious. I was caught quickly and only began to enjoy it more and more as the book continued. And the ending and why the book is titled Code Name Papa put the icing on the cake!  I loved it!

And it doesn't take long for Beckett and Iggy to begin working together just as they'd done in the past. Iggy is a kick-ass woman that quickly won my heart... She had only one major person in her life--her son.

And he had been kidnapped! Nobody was going to stop Indigo from getting him back! And that didn't allow any distraction, especially from Beckett...

Unless of course he is willing to help her!

Beckett took it hard when he learned that the kidnapped boy was his son... But it pulled them more and more together until they were once again acknowledging that their love was still alive...

Only thing is when they finally got a call from the kidnapper, the payment was to eliminate a hit list with 10 names on it! The kidnapper obviously knew her past occupation, even if she was now a mother and member of the PTA...

Did Indigo really mean what she said about getting her son back? Would she go back to killing in order to free her son? And would Beckett allow her to place herself in such danger... Got to say that this Romantic Suspense is not only exciting, but provides readers a fascinating story of communication gone wrong between a couple, together with what happens when danger affects a member of a family, even a newly discovered one! Did I say I loved this book?! I so enjoyed meeting Aliyah Burke's as a new author and hope I get a chance to read her work again...

Highly recommended, especially lovers of romantic suspense!

What a way to start off my vacation, buried inside one of Amys novels.  Lets jump start my heart right away.  I was introduced to Bonnie.  She had the world at her fingertips, she captivated everyones attention, her name was well-known yet Bonnie felt there was something missing.  Then there was Clyde.  He had lived and then some, Clyde carefully watched his world as he went about his day for he knew he had a lifetime yet to live and his past was behind him.  Was it chance or fate how these two met?  Bonnie had had enough of her glittery life, the night that she walked out of it.  Clyde was driving his pickup along the road when he saw her alone in the fog, she was looking out into the water and he stopped and walked back to help.

I loved how this story has the wrongs and the rights mixed into it.  Bonnie has the money, the talent and all the advantages to smooth all the wrongs/issues that came their way but Clyde wasn't looking for this.  Being a famous individual Bonnie could turn everything around almost instantaneously and I loved that this option was available but it wasn't the magic wand that they wanted to use.  As Bonnie and Clyde are experiencing the world together, I saw how each day was a new experience for them, a new adventure and they were capturing these moment together yet there were individuals who were trying to take that away from them.  Its was like a game to see who would win and for how long this game would last: can Bonnie and Clyde stay together and build a life together or would individuals pull them apart deeming that their worth apart is greater than it is together?  I enjoyed the time these two spent together, the time they spent with others and the time they spent reflecting on their lives.  I got frustrated at time with Bonnie, I wondered if she really wanted to leave her celebrity status behind with the way that she was acting.  The ending of this novel was fantastic and William, he be the man.  I highly recommend this novel or any of Amy Harmons other novels.

If you have followed along on my reviews for any amount of time you know that I am a sucker for a single parent romance. Dad Bod has a double dose of single parents and I fell in love not only with this couple but with their daughters as well!

Dad Bod is a second chance romance that had me laughing out loud, falling in love. On top of all the warm gooey feelings I also had my heartbroken for their daughters who at such young ages have dealt with difficult parental relations that no little girl should go through.

Tyler and Maggie were once upon a time deep in love with each other and the decisions they made had kept them apart for nearly a decade before their surprise reunion. Their reunion was explosive! Push and pull, attempting to push aside their desire that was still simmering just below the surface.

Now that Ive gotten the full view of Tylers smoking hot dad bod, I need more.

Dad Bod is my favorite book written by Lily Kate thus far and I cant wait to read what else she will come up with!

First off CC congrats on writing such a wonderful, heartfelt,addicting and passionate love story. I literally read this book in one setting. From the second that I seen the cover with the Seattle Space Needle I knew that I had to get my hands on this book. This book is about best friends that have fallen in love with eachother and unite to battle all the odds and anything that is set in front of them. I can honestly say that this book has all the ups, downs, twists and turns that I look for in a story. It even made me break down and cry. I hope that there is more to come from Trey and Shayla. CC Monroe is now my one click author and I will never hesitate to read anythig from her. She is a literary genius. I highly recommend this book to everyone!!
