Loved this 1st book and highly recommend it!

I was surprised to read that this was the first book by this author as "A Lone Palm Stands" is just so wonderful!

I didn't want to put this book down and I was thrilled to realize there was already a second book in the series, "Saving Sara".

From having lived in the South before, I'd say this author perfectly captured many of the little quirks that make people from the South so special. I loved the writing and really enjoyed the way the siblings treated each other as it totally reminded me of when my children would disagree with each other.

I think you'll really enjoy this book. It made me feel like I was on a vacation in the South and I wanted to know more about these people when the book was over. That means it was great!

I have read these two authors individually and really enjoyed their work - together, they are a powerhouse. This first book for this series was a great read, but it left me wanting more and thankfully since this is book 1, there will be more.  The characters were well written and the story was well crafted (I hope it is going to appear in an audible format, too).  I want an head for Aiden!  Well worth your time and money.

I loved Book 1, and I loved Book 2 more!  This series reminds me of the "With Me in Seattle" series---the main characters are realistic, well-rounded, and super likeable people and they interact w/in their extended family in a way that makes the reader want to move and join them...the drama is not over-the-top and the chemistry is sizzling...I found Book 1 in the "Exposed" anthology, but am now going to buy a separate copy to keep this series together in my kindle for easier reference---I don't miss this series!!!  Can't wait for Book 3 later this month!!!

When I started the first book I had no idea it was a series until I got to the very end. I loved the first book and this one is  just as amazing!! I was so happy to see the connection between these two books and now need to download the next one to continue the series. These books will not disappoint!!

I loved the 1st book in the series and really enjoyed the 2nd one! I feel there could have been more of Sam and Val in their happier days, but the heartbreaking parts were oh-so-delicious and heartbreaking to go through too.
Would recommend this highly for any romance lovers!

I love this series SO MUCH and was hooked on the first page of Book 1. This book was no different. I definitely recommend this series to ages 9, maybe 8, and up. I'd say 9 or 10 for this book (depends) and the one before. I'm also SO READY for the next one!!.   these

I loved the 1st book in this series, it has everything you could want in a supernatural book! I pre ordered the second book and it was freaking awesome! Sara seems to put up a little less fight in this book and definitely learns how to be a warrior. The love story finally comes out and was a nice surprise too. All in all I will be anxiously awaiting the next book.

I absolutely LOVED this series!! I read a ton of reviews of on it before I got it and a lot of people were recommending to read the second one first. I did not. I wanted to read it how the author intended them to be read. After reading the first book I was hooked and wound up buying the entire set (there are 5 books). I literally didn't get much done outside of the house because I was so engrossed in this story. It was well worth the purchase and I cannot wait for the next book!

I received this book as a Good Reads First Read book giveaway; and I LOVED it! Reminded me of another series I've recently read and enjoyed A Piece of Cake Mystery series by Jacklyn Brady. This was book 2 of this series but although there was references to probably stuff that happened in book 1 I wasn't lost at all, and matter of fact want to look up and find the other books in this series to continue to read. Once you start reading you are hooked and want to pick it up and continue on with it. Also the chapters aren't super long, so if you get tired (sleepy) you don't have to stop in the middle of a chapter to find a 'stopping' point although the story is intense at times and you don't want to stop. Am thankful for the opportunity to read this and will be looking for other books by this author.

My first ebook and I loved it!!  The characters were introduced at a steady pace and developed, scenes were well thought out with plenty of details such that you could "see" and "feel" what was going on.  I especially liked the creative and unique "communication system" used by the 2 main characters.  A great read, can't wait for the 2nd book!!

I absolutely loved this book!  Enjoyed it even more than THAT DOG WONT HUNT and I liked the first in this series a lot! So much humor in this book and one particular scene that had me giggling out loud. Of course, Im not going to tell you what that scene was. Youll have to read the book yourself! There were other parts that were painful to read. The characters are so rich, emotions running the gamut for just about everyone, including Princess Penelope. If a character was angry and hurt, I was angry and hurt, too! Im delighted there will be another installment to this series and am confident Ms. Collins could write about the Dearing Family for a very long time if she chooses. Of course, Im excited that she continues to write her Seatbelt Suspense as well. Loving both genres as I do, and especially Brandilyn Collins brand of each, Id read anything she wrote. Having read every book shes written, I trust her as an author and wouldnt hesitate to purchase any future release or or introduce her to new readers.
Well done, Ms Collins!

I Really loved this 2nd book. I liked it a lot more than the first for sure, not because the first was bad or anything, just it was more a set up for the whole story. We get a lot of hot Mikah in this one, and I loved that. I loved that we get a lot more of the paranormal element in this one, where the first you just do know for sure.

I liked the direction the story has taken and was very happy with the book as a whole. That sneak peek of Give Me Desire really was interesting and has you wondering. Just glad this book didn't leave us hanging so bad as that first one. That had made me pretty mad, lol.

I highly recommend this series.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

I was given a copy of this book for my honest review.

5 stars!

For those who read my reviews and know me, know that I LOVE reading stories with nerdy/quirky - smart girls as the lead characters.
These characters tend to live in a world of their own because they don't think or react to situations like the rest of the normal people around them.
I find these characters colorful, unique, intriguing, fascinating.

I absolutely loved this story!
The characters were colorful and well developed, and the writing was wonderful.
I really enjoyed reading this author's voice.
Miko was a great character to get to know. I loved her references to SO many books that I've read, and movies/TV shows that I loved.
Liam was the perfect broken, scowly male lead.
Their journey was an amazing read.

This is the first book I've read in the series (and from this author), and I'm anxious to reading the first two in the series.
It can be read as a stand-alone, but I think I would have gotten more of the 'inside references' between Max, Landon, and Miko if I had their history from the previous books.

I recommend this book, and look forward to reading more work by this author.

I first saw this book in the store and liked the cover with the cute little dragon on the front.  Well I found out that I must have the first book to understand what was going on in this book that had such a cute cover.  I must say that after reading them both the second is better and more eventful.  I loved the first book but the second book I absolutly fell in love with and could not put it down!  I was almost tempted to skip some of my classes to be able to continue reading it and find out what was going to happen to them next.  It is as fast paced as the first one but does not seem to take away from the story.  It is a great book and I would highly recommend these books for any ages!  I saw that the suggested ages was from eight to fourteen but I would dissagree and say that anyone that loves a bit of magic and a cute little old fashioned romace would definitely enjoy these books.

I really enjoyed the first book in the series so I was delighted to see that the follow up had been released, now I have read it, whilst yes, this is the second book in the series, I think that this one would be fine to read as a stand alone!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story - I thought that the plot was great and was immediately thrown in to the plot.  I loved the characters and the writing style was superb - spot on for this genre and I was completely hooked. I thought that Kate was a great character and I have really enjoyed seeing  her develop and I love her interaction with the rest of her team.

Four stars from me - a really enjoyable story!!
