In the Wait for You trio I liked the Jase/Tess connection best!  When I am not foolishly sucked into NA/Romance novels I am also a suspense and mystery junkie so with the twists and breath catching shockers delivered in Be with Me (ok, some were totally predictable but I was hooked to keep reading to confirm my assumptions) I feel like I got more out of this than a happy ending love story.  My heart would beat faster for the 'who done it' thriller drama bits as well as the steamy scenes and who wouldn't want them some confident, hot, sensitive, Jase!  Good stuff.  I practically expected another book in the series for Calla (explain the scar? back story?) and Brandon Shriver - I feel like that was set up - so serve.  Let's see what else you've got.  Enjoying these so far.

I love Tess Blessing. Ali McBeal and Tess Blessing are now my favorite people. This is an awesome book, I would suggest reading The Undertaking of Tess first. It sets the groundwork for this one. The writing is superb, the descriptions of the waiting rooms, talking with Birdie before bed, Will and Connie, and can't forget Henry... I would be laughing out loud. I saw myself in this book so many times. Jumping between Tess, Grace and Louise would catch me up sometimes, but it all worked out. I love her lists.... Ms. Kagen knocks this one out of the ballpark. These 2 Tess books are on my Best Books of the Year list, yes, I keep a list of books I've read.
1. Buy this book
2. Read book and spend several hours enjoying.
3. Then go buy broccoli.

Jase, Jase, Jase! Oh my! The funny, ever smiling, ladies man has his own book! I don't want to give away anything but don't let what Jase *seems* to be deter you from reading this book. SO many twists, some heartbreaking, some wonderful! READ THIS SERIES!

This was such a good book.  Loving this series.  I was never much of a Rugby fan till I started reading this series.  Can't wait for more of this series.
This is the story of Tess who has had some troubles in her past and trying to shake those.  She decides to go away for the weekend where no one knows her.  She goes and decides to do something she has never done before.  She changes her mind and goes back to the hotel and is accidentally stuck on the elevator with a God.  She know who this God is, but wants just to do something crazy.
Liam is a huge Rudgy player and captain of his team.  He is needing some time off to get his stuff together after his mom passed away.  He goes away for a short vacation.  He did not except to be Tess his little Nymph.  She leaves him with a Dear John note and he is disappointed.  He meets up with her later and is upset cause he can't seem to get her out of his head.
This is such a great book.  I love Tess & Liam.  They had great chemistry together.  I loved her cause she was always standing up for herself and spoke her mind.  I love all the other secondary characters, Liam's other teammates are awesome.  Loved the Calendar shoot.

This was a wonderful addition to the series.  What I like about the stories is that all of the main characters are flawed and know it.  The author shows how human they are as they battle their insecurities while trying to be worthy of the love they think they don't deserve.  Jase needed a love that allowed him to blossom and not try to control everything, and Charles needed some one to believe he was worth loving with out pain.  I love this series.  In fact I read all three books again just to have a smooth transition, lol

I simply love this series.  Tess was a very interesting character.  She had a less than ideal childhood.  Ok, it was just plain evil.  Her "father" was Alister McCain, which if you follow the series explains it all.  He is the epitome of a "bad guy".  Somehow she manages to grow up being a good person and stronger then she realizes.  Harding is, well he is yummy goodness and while he too has a past, he has overcome it and become a strong member of the pack.  I loved this read.  It is the perfect length for an "escape" read.  I will say I did not find the Mayaisms as strong in this book, but there were still some that had me in stitches!  About this series :Each story continues the main story arc, but is a complete story in and of itself so I can have my little bite of awesome and not be on edge waiting to see where the cliffhanger will lead us.

I was given a copy of this book.

This is book seven in the Honor Bound series. Dan Colton is scarred inside and out. It will take the love of Tess to help him heal. I really fell in love with these two characters.  Dan is just possibly my favorite.  A great story of friends turned lovers. Steamy as well.

Rook & Ronin have quickly become one of my favorite couples. Their relationship is not cookie cutter and that is part of what makes this such a great story. I appreciate the fact that there are many outside influences but they still manage to realize that above it all they want to try and make it work. Also, I really liked Spencer's character and hope there is a book with him as the main character at some point.

I loved this book! Lexie has heard horror stories about how bad of a boss Kaden is. Lexie is so strong and has a lot of responsibility in her life. Kaden doesn't let anyone close and Lexie breaks down his barriers before he realizes it. These two are so good together! Another great book from Carly!

What can I say about these two that I have already said!!!  I love Jase and Carly together; they will forever own a special place in my heart!

They love each other, they are perfect together!  Sometimes their lack of communication makes want to throat punch them both lol  These two definitely illicit all the feels when you are reading them.  Perfection takes practice right? right!

This was a great conclusion to their story and I loved every minute of it.  I hope beyond hope they will make appearances in the rest of the boys stories.

I bought Bidding on the Bachelor yesterday and I stayed up all night reading it. I couldn't put it down! I love Carissa and feel for everything shes been through. And Jasper is such a swoon-worthy hero! I love that they were high school sweethearts and they may (or may not) get a second chance at love. Plus, that Bayside Blogger is too funny. Cant wait for book 3!

Sometimes books make you happy. Sometimes books make you sad. Sometimes, if you're lucky, books give you a satisfied, squishy feeling inside that reminds you that love is the bestest thing in the whole wide world and fills you with joy. No More Wasted Time was that book for me.

As soon as I met Tess, I immediately connected with her. She's in mourning, and I really felt for her. While I couldn't relate to her sadness, Beverly wrote her character in such an authentic way that it's not hard to see things from her perspective.  She's been through hell in the past year, and she's come out the other side, finally ready to live life again.

Enter Tom. **sigh** What can we say about Tom? World-famous actor. Renowned playboy. Genuinely good guy? It's true!

Even though they meet in a less-than-ideal situation, their connection is pretty much immediate, and before we know it, their romance has begun. "Whirlwind" is definitely the way to describe their relationship, but it feels so natural. I really liked the fact that Tess wasn't all "OMG, you're Tom Clemmins!" with him. To her, he was just Tom, right from the beginning.

I think my favorite part of this story was the depth of Tom's love for Tess. In many novels, when the reformed playboy finds love, it sort of feels forced and unnatural. Not so with Tom. You get the sense that he his genuinely in love with her, and would do just about anything to make her happy. The fact that he didn't want to replace her former husband was amazing. He just wanted Tess to make room in her heart for him as well.

I LOVED that we're dealing with a more mature couple here. And even though they're in their 40s, and Tess has three grown children, their lives were still passionate and sexy. As a married woman who is about to turn 35 (**gasp**sob** WHY, GOD? WHYYYYY? **sniffle**), this gave me hope for the future.

Tess's family was GREAT! Her kids are fiercely protective of their mama, especially after the year they've all had. They don't care if Tom is a famous movie star, they're not gonna stand for any shit with him, and I LOVED them for that.

Beverly's writing is what really made this story. Everything felt so realistic, and  Tom's lifestyle didn't overshadow their relationship, it was simply one facet of it. Overall, this is a story of a second chance at love, but it's not a second-place love. It's a deep, true, all-encompassing love. I can only hope we all experience the kind of love that Tom & Tess share.

This is has been a very good series so far.  This wasn't my favorite in the series but it was good.  Tess Oliver creates characters you want to know more about and that you fall in love with.  I'd recommend this book and I can't wait to see what comes next!

I absolutely loved Digs and Penny's story. I love how everything was planned for them before the first date! The Penny story was hard to get through just because of the logistics. The aftermath though and character development is awesome! Love the progression of the story and how storylines find their natural end. I am so happy that there is another book! Great series, great characters and great storylines!!
