Sweet with a little sass

This is a sweet love story with just a touch of sass. I felt sorry for the main characters for their situation but a happy ending made it all better. I will be buying the next book in the series very soon.

Cute, short, and sugary sweet story that involves a few spankings. I wouldn't call it strictly erotica, though it does have a few sex scenes.

When you are in need of a sweet romance, tastefully done, with endearing characters, Kaylee Ryan is your girl. This is a continuation of Anywhere With You, with the focus on Aiden and Hailey (Allison's "brother" and Liam's little sister). Now that Allie and Liam are in love and engaged, it's getting harder for Aiden and Hales to deny their feelings for each other; but deny they did, as they both feared the repercussions of the what ifs. This flirty cat and mouse game went on for the majority or the story; it bordered on being exhausting, yet it was sweet when it finally did all come together. Allie and Liam were syrupy sweet throughout, and now that both couples are together, it will be interesting to see where Kaylee takes them next.

3.75 Rounded Up Stars This book was about healing and owning ones mistakes. Such a sweet read. I loved Ransom and Denver's connection, fantasy that it was. Some of the fantasy was completely unnecessary, but sweet in itself (view spoiler) I was a little disappointed in how the big ISSUE of Used was handled, but understand the complexities of friendship crossing over to "lovers."

Overall, a nice and sweet follow up. Greer's story next, please!

Such a sweet story. I loved the main characters. There wasn't any huge emotional journey, but was a nice lighthearted book.

This was a sweet little gfy story. There wasn't a lot of angst which is totally what I need at times. From the moment Sawyer and Jack meet there's a connection. One that Sawyer is a little confused about as he's never been with a man. I liked that Sawyer didn't fight it too long though and just went for what he wanted. There's a nice little epilogue at the end to bring it all together. This is the first book by Billie Drake and it shows great potential. I look forward to more of this author's work in the future.

The Girl Who Chased The Moon was a sweet, light read that was definitely enjoyable if you're not looking for a novel with heavier themes. Although it is a light read, this novel does deal with some heavy issues, such as self mutilation, abortion/adoption, and death. However, I felt this was all handled in an easy going manner, not focusing too much on any gory details.

It focuses on the stories of two women, the teenage Emily and the older Julia, both coming to terms with life in the magical and mysterious town of Mullaby. I thought the setting was crucial to this novel and the author used it to her advantage to create a beautiful picture. The author also had delicious descriptions of food - from the sweet scent of the barbecue to the flavors of Julia's various cakes and pastries, I was hungry every time I read this book.

I was more interested in the story between Julia and Sawyer than Emily and Win, but both stories held my attention throughout because there's always something the reader, or another character, has yet to learn. For example I was curious as to what exactly Dulcie did, or what happened between Sawyer and Julia as teenagers, and what the Coffeys big secret was. This book is only predictable in terms of relationships, where it is quite obvious who is going to get together. Otherwise, it kept me guessing. I was disappointed with the Coffey's family secret and thought it was kind of too bizarre, but I suppose it fit in with the rest of the oddities in Mullaby.

All in all, a sweet read, that I would suggest to anyone in the mood for some fluff.

A sweet, funny, little romance.  Even though that is not really my 'Cup of Tea', I did enjoy it.  It's a very quick read.  There were some editing problems & the end seemed a bit rushed & gooey to me.  But all in all, if you like sweet romances with some definite humor & the prince saving the day kind of thing....This is the book for you.

I have to say anytime I read a book from Mrs. Ryan's I thoroughly enjoy them. This book is a sweet light book with a touch of Southern charm.

  I loved Evan's character. He's a stand up guy who wants to take care of his baby right from the beginning, even it is by himself. I just thought Evan was a sweet, caring, all around good guy.

  I liked McKinley. I thought it was sweet of her to want to help and have no problem helping Evan. There were a few moments though she tended to get on my nerves.

  I did enjoy this book and thought it was a good read. If you enjoy brothers best friend type books, than I think you'll enjoy this book.

  I'm giving this book 3.5 stars out of 5.

A sweet,  gentle-spirited read. The male lead character was kind of offensive in the beginning, but grows on you as you read.  The ending makes you want to see what happens in the next book.

This was a sweet love story.  Not much drama or conflict but it was sweet.  It could have been better if certain points would have been played out. Overall it was a sweet little love story.

Wings of Fate by T.M. Hobbs is a sweet paranormal romance, a departure for me, as sweet romance runs outside of my normal reading habits. Always open to new experiences, and having read one of Hobbs' short stories and enjoyed it, I was eager to dive into this novel.
Invited on a journey of a lifetime, Callie Mason has been asked to join a medical mission to Alberta, Canada, to work with the Woodland Cree people. Her plane crashes in rough weather, and Callie is the sole survivor. She's rescued by Kane Akashdeep, a member of a special group of Woodland Cree, with deep ties to the natural world and beyond.  And here's where the paranormal aspect kicks in: fans of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series should enjoy Hobbs' description of shape-shifters and ancient legends, revolving around a rite of passage for the men of the village, in which Callie figures prominently.
Wings of Fate is written in both the hero's and heroine's first person point of view, shifting back and forth between the two. It worked well, except those few times when one character revisited the same events that had already been explained by the other. Otherwise, I liked that aspect of the novel. Generally, I enjoyed the book: the characters were interesting and the premise intriguing. Hobbs does a great job explaining the paranormal elements. I especially liked her description of running wild and free in nature (apparently a theme in her work- see&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Born-Free/dp/B004WSXAJO/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Born Free</a>: one of her short stories :-) Although a tad slow in places, Hobbs' strong handle on dialogue picked up the pace- I'd love to have seen it used more throughout the novel.  The setting was realistic and a character in its own right- you could feel the crisp bite of a cold Canadian winter.
All in all, if you enjoy a sweet paranormal romance with likable characters, you'll enjoy Wings of Fate. I look forward to more from T.M. Hobbs.

Courting Cinderella by Mackenzie Lucas

**book received in exchange for honest review

I enjoyed this short read from a new to me author. It was a cute take on Cinderella and even included an evil stepmother and a 'glass slipper'. The main characters are likable enough - Raquel is a strong female and I loved her determination. I fell a little in lust with the first description of Sam and then thought he was a bit of a tool, but he thankfully redeemed himself quite well later on. As I said previously, it was a short read so I obviously wanted more in the way of character and plot development. I'm not a huge fan of insta-love books but it was still a sweet read.

I really enjoyed this sweet romance. Laced with faith, although not a spiritual journey. The romance was a little heated ;)

In this sweet Regency romance, Jonathan Brodie meets Penelope in her adoptive parents florist shop. He is immediately smitten and a tender romance between the young couple begins to bloom.  Unfortunately they meet resistance from Jonathan's boorish father, the baron Sir Brodie but that does not deter Jonathan one bit.  In fact, when he realises that Penelope's origins are unknown, he sets out to discover how she came to be the daughter of Mr and Mrs Baldwin.  However, it backfires on him when he comes to understand that he has overstepped the mark.  Having spent my own life as a "fixer" of other people's problems, I learned the hard way that sometimes one can go too far and this I had a certain sympathy for Jonathan.  The bottom line is that most people just want to be accepted for whom they are.  Apart from Sir Brodie, I enjoyed the rest of the characters in this clean romance, as well as the sweet story line that can be read in an evening.

A nice little novella I enjoyed. A very sweet, quick read in the Midnight Breed series. It felt a tad rushed but otherwise, nice addition to the main series. Can't wait to get back to the main plot, but this did soothe the cravings.

Probably closer to 4-1/2 stars. I'm not sure what grabbed me about this story, and I suspected the twist early on, but it was just a really sweet story. Evie was brought up in foster care. When she was 10, a slightly older Leo moved into her foster home, which began a really deep friendship and eventually turned into love. Teenage love, sure, but it was impactful for them both. But when he moves away at 15, they make promises to each other and have plans to keep in touch. Heck, they have plans to marry when she turns 18. Sadly, Evie never hears from him again.

Eight years later, Evie has built a comfortable life for herself. She's not wealthy by any stretch, but she has things that make her happy, jobs that support her, friends who will do anything for her because of who Evie is. She has a giving spirit, and so long as you don't give her reason to doubt you, she'd give you the shirt off her back if she thought you needed it. She's really a beautiful person, both inside and out. She's never really allowed any guys into her life, mostly because they weren't Leo, even long after she'd accepted that Leo threw her away as everyone else in her early life had done.

But she notices some guy stalking her. She doesn't really get a creepy vibe from him, but she knows he's been following her. Finally, she confronts him about his poor stalker skills and they strike up a friendship, despite the fact that Jake has told her Leo sent him to check up on her and that he died in a car crash. It really becomes much more than a friendship pretty quickly, but there are so many secrets about Jake. Evie is certain there's more to him, but she doesn't want to push and possibly rock the boat of their tenuous new relationship. But those secrets can't stay secret forever, especially when people keep saying things and doing things to make her doubt him.

My heart broke for Evie a few times in the book. Sometimes I wanted to shake her and make her settle down to really think about things that happened. At the same time, I could understand her so quickly accepting that she doesn't mean so much to him, that he can't possibly mean the things he says. She had such a crappy childhood. When the truth comes out, I was very happy with how things were handled by by parties. And the epilogue was precious.
