Finally a HEA for Finn!
581960
I loved this book. If you've read the earlier, connected standalone books, you probably already have Finn on a pedestal and were anxiously awaiting his HEA. This one follows the same fall in love hard and fast premise as the earlier books but it surprised me that this one was more focused on the developing relationship and all of the interconnected characters than on drama. I kept waiting for Pressley to get attacked, stalked, threatened (I think I may be getting a little bloodthirsty). But, as stated above, this one didn't have all that drama. That's not to say there was no drama or trauma. I just appreciated that the emotional reactions were driven by issues I could relate to. In fact, I loved Raven's role in this book because it felt so honest.

Neither character is shallow or superficial. Neither waiver in their love. There aren't any silly, nonsense misunderstandings.

This is a stellar continuation of the story that originated with Raven and Declan and their crew but has grown exponentially as more and more people are pulled into their tight knit family. This would probably be overwhelming for someone to pick up without having read the earlier books purely because of the sheer number of characters but the plot definitely stands on its own.

This was such a good book. I loved the push pull between Finn and Dex. It was also a very emotional read, I was in tears many times while reading this. The sex scenes were hot, even though they didn't go into much detail, from what was written it was just hot. It is very well written and from both point of views. i really enjoyed it. I can't wait for more from this author.

I loved this book 2 as much or more than the first book in the series!  Finn & Phoebe are such a fun couple & I loved all of their witty, bickering back and forth before they both discovered it wasn't hate but love they felt for one another.  It was so glad that the characters from the first book were in the second & they are such an important part of the whole family love that is felt.  I highly recommend this series with humor, witty comment, romance, love & some spice for good measure!

I devoured Finn Again! It was so much more than I initially anticipatedand took me places I wasn't expecting. I genuinely enjoyed/ was frustrated/ was routing for Finn. The story was engaging and emotional at times. I am really looking forward to seeing where these characters go!

In Book Three of her Thunder Mountain Brotherhood Series, author Vicki Lewis Thompson brings us Finn's story. Finn is the third of the original "brothers" of Thunder Mountain and his story is well worth the read.

Finn O'Roarke has serious tunnel vision. Once he decides on a direction, he focuses all of his attention on it and almost forgets everything else. His business is the most important part of his life and nothing is going to get in his way. Even his marriage suffered because he wasn't able to actually give his wife the attention she deserved. Now that his foster family has let them all know that the ranch is in danger, Finn and his brothers have ponied up. What Finn has to offer is more than just his charm and good beer. He has Chelsea Trask, a true marketing genius and the woman he truly loves. He just can't spread himself that thin.

Chelsea Trask has had feelings for Finn since they first met. She watched him marry and saw it fall apart. She gets him. But she doesn't get why he refuses to take a chance on them. She is the one person who is part of all of his life. When his family's ranch is about to go under, Chelsea is the marketing genius that comes up with a way to save it. Now she's determined to use the time they have together promoting the ranch as a way to promote their relationship.

Another fun book.. Finn is another lost boy who has survived his childhood and made something of himself.. He just doesn't know how to have a complete life and he's afraid of really trying. One thing at a time, that's all he thinks he can handle. If only those pesky feelings he has for Chelsea wouldn't keep coming back.

Sometimes a book is hard to review because it seems like such a simple concept but that's the true magic in Rolling Like Thunder. It's not some flashy romance, no PNR, or intense suspense... nope just pure romance and Vicki Lewis Thompson knows how to get the job done.

Take the time to enjoy this book, it's well worth the read!

This is the second book in the Jordan's Game series and in this "game" we are introduced to Issy and Finn.  Issy is a motivational women's speaker who has everyone convinced she is the poster woman for having everything figured out when her real life is anything but.  Finn is an FBI agent who is trying to find his way after having everything he thought he knew pulled away from him.  They meet under crazy circumstances and soon find themselves in the middle of something where they quickly realize they have no idea what is going on.

My review:

This book was awesome from start to finish!  I loved Issy right from the first chapter and Finn is her perfect match.  As usual, I don't want to give away any of the greatness of the story or the plot so I am going to keep this pretty vague.

The story was so different and original and kept me guessing from start to finish.  I never really figured some things out lol, guess I am going to have to go back and read it again to see all that I missed the first time through.  The true sign of a great story told by a great author...that you are immediately drawn in and kept guessing the whole time.  Are they playing a game?  Are they not?  What is really real?  And who are these people really?  You will have to read this amazing story to find out the answers for yourself.

My thoughts:

POV: switches between Issy and Finn
Quick hook or slow starter? 5 (I was hooked from the first chapter)
Character development: 5
Level of Romance between characters: 5
Passion/Heat level: 5 (the sex is hot and steamy and you don't have to wait long to get into it)
Angst/Heartbreak: 5 (Some big reveals will break your heart and have you really rooting for these two)
Cliffhanger?:  Not really a cliffhanger but this story is far from over.

Overall, it was awesome and I can't wait to see what Jordan has in store for his next game!

Lizzie Hampton goes back to her hometown and reconnects with Finn Robbins.  She's hoping for a quick fling... nothing more.

Finn has a more complicated life, especially with his daughter.

It's great to see how Lizzie and Finn start off as a 'no strings attached' to wanting more.  Can they work it out?  I loved the ending to this story.  This book is worth reading!

This is the second book in the For the Love series, which can be read as a standalone. It takes place after For the Love of Ash. I thought it was fantastic. This was Lindsey and Finn's story. Finn is Lindsey's brother's best friend. They have a past together from when they were in high school. Lindsey has avoided Finn like the plague since then because he broke her heart. Finn is back in town due to an injury and he's determined to spend time with Lindsey. No one has ever compared to her. Will she be able to forgive and move forward?
And yes, for anyone wondering, we do see more of the entire Wilson family, and Asher is even more adorable.

Liv Arias and Finn Dorsey haven't seen each other in twelve years. Twelve years since the tragedy struck their high school senior class. Theyre part of an elite groupthe survivorsThe Ones Who Got Away. But in all seriousness, the survivors are barely living.

Liv drowns herself in work. So does Finn. Hes an undercover cop; shes a graphic artist. Both live in their own worlds, though Livs is a whole lot safer than Finns. Brought back together by a documentary filmmaker, can Liv and Finn finally give into the passion that was cut short that fateful evening? Can they finally find their happiness?

Im struggling a bit to express how much I loved The Ones Who Got Away. That a back story so incredibly tragic could create such a magical romance between Liv and Finn.

I loved how Liv and Finn had a second chance at love. That they could attempt to move past the tragedy, to finally live life to the fullest. Their interactions were so real, so honest. At times I found myself holding my breath waiting for the two of them to get their acts together and make something happenallow love to guide them.

And I would be remiss to leave out Kincaid, Rebecca and Taryn! Id love to have girlfriends like themones who understood me, knew me and pushed me . . . with and without the assistance of alcohol. Im anxiously awaiting the release of The One You Cant Forget this summer. Thats Rebeccas story and Im dying to know more about her secret.

You have no idea how excited I was to read Garth Black's story. Finding out he was getting his own book made my life. And although I took me a while to get around to reading it, I'm so glad I finally did! Since the summary doesn't reveal the girl Garth falls head over heels in love with, I'm not going to either in my review :). If you've already read the first two books in the Lost and Found series, you can make a good guess as to who the girl is. I was hoping it would be her, and yep! It was!

Garth. Black! This dark, bad boy. *grins* I adore him. He doesn't believe in love and goes out of his way to ensure her never falls in love. And what do you know? He falls so hard. He stole my heart in Near and Far, and he definitely made swoon a bit in Finders Keepers. He's just so gosh darn CUTE! I love how within that jerkish, bad boy facade, he's a total sweetheart and he's got a heart of gold. He's also sarcastic and facetious, and occasionally I wanted to throttle him because he's too hard on himself. He sees himself as trailer trash, not worthy of the girl he loves, but in reality he is. He'd give anything and do anything for those he cares about, and even though there are only a select few of them, he gives his whole heart for them. And how can you not love that?

The romance is a slow build-up of tension and longing and desire from both Garth and the girl he loves. They're the town sweetheart and the boy from the wrong side of the tracks! Their love is sweet and heartfelt and so freaking romantic that I totally excused the slowness of their romance. It did get pretty slow during some parts of the book, where Garth keeps putting himself down, and not going for the girl he loves because he thinks she can do better than him. NO, Garth! You're perfect! You're sweet and kind (when you want to be), and you have nothing to be ashamed about. *Sighs*

So the girl who this dark cowboy falls in love with? She can totally hold her own against him. Any girl Garth is going to fall in love with has to be tough and awesome. And she is. She sees right through Garth's bad boy facade, and she's just so cool every time Garth tries to push her away, because she won't let him. She takes action on her own, and Garth can't do anything about her except fall even more in love. This girl is perfect for Garth, and they're perfect together.

God, Garth is such a sweetie. I just love it when book boys who are players/jerks show their sweet side, because it's even more special. They never open up, show the real them, except to the girl they love. *swoon* And Garth is the ultimate bad boy jerk, but then when it happens to him, when he falls in love... It's just too adorable.

And we get to see Jesse (MY LOVE) and Rowen! So great reading about them again!

I just love this series. It's cute boys and cowboys and sweet romances, so what's not to love? I highly recommend this series, and Nicole Williams's other books, the Crash series, too! She writes the best book boys (JUDE and JESSE and GARTH) with the best romances.

A 3.5 at some parts where it was slow, but overall it's a 4 :)

Im not even sure where to start. The story began with Darrin working his magic candy mojo, which I loved BTW This may not have been a PNR, but the hint of magic that started the story was definitely enough to catch my interest. Of course, once Adam was introduced, magic or no, I was hooked. I loved both Adam and Finn from the start.

Adam was well he was broken. My Mama Bear gene worked over time when it came to him. Theres no excuse for what he went through. None. I felt exactly like Finn did when he discovered Adams troubled past which BTW made me love Finn even more.

Can I just say, thank God for Finns determination. If not for his tenacity, he wouldnt have stood a chance. That was just one of the many things that I adored about Finn.

Then there were the supporting charactersand there were many, not the least of which included Gonzo the cat and Clopper the dog. All of them played an important role and there wasn't one that was introduced that I didn't fall in love with. Of course there were the employees at the candy shop, but there was also Rico. The only interaction that Adam had with his cousin Rico was through text messages, but it was enough to be totally invested in his story, which is next. There was also Finns family, who totally made up for Adams poor excuse for a family almost.

And did I mention the tears? Yeah, there were more than a few. There was one scene in particular that I pretty much dare anyone not to get just a little choked up while reading, but I found myself wiping my eyes more than once. *sigh* Bitter Taffy is next and it thankfully features Rico. I cant wait to get to know Adams only sane family member ;)

I am a sucker for second chance romances. I love when two people who know they are meant for each finally get their heads on straight. I love the drama that comes along with clearing the past to make way for the future. Despite being a celebrity, Finn is a down to earth small town boy at heart. Eva is the hometown girl. She is a remarkable woman. She is friendly to everyone and helps everyone she can. There are no airs about her. There are a lot of emotional barriers that Eva has put up around her heart. But Finn knuckles down and crashes right through all of them. I loved the storyline and all the detail that went in this couples backstory. I rode the emotional wave right to the end. I was rooting for Finn the entire time. I am excited to see what this author has in store next!

Another wonderful, character driven, sexy emotional read from Ms. Finn.  Her situations are fantastic.  What took the book over the top for me was the setting.  So unusual - an ice-locked island in Wisconsin where they have to travel by wind sled in the winter?!  Who, but Ms. Finn would set her romances in such an unlikely place.  And that is what I love about her books.  Expect the unexpected!  This book had it all - family dynamics, teenage angst, adult relationship drama, the progression from hate to love and classic Finn sexy times.  I love her emotion packed plots that are moved forward by solid, well developed characters.  Joss and Isaiah are terrific.  Todd is scary but not overly so.  Just the right bit of insanity!  Well done!!

I received a copy of this book, from the publisher, in exchange for an honest review. In no way did this sway either my review or my rating!

The cuteness of this book is almost too much! From the second I pulled it up on my Kindle I was completely hooked on The Finn Factor. I was glad I had lots of breathing room reading wise because I took my time and truly savored this one and stretched it out as far as I could. Even then I wasn't ready to say goodbye to these characters and let it end.

What I loved about both Finn and Scarlett's characters was the fact that you have two people who are the types that turn heads when they walk into a room, both of them, and yet they also each had this majorly nerdy/quirky side. Finn with his obsession with history, more specifically musical instruments from Mesopotamia. I mean seriously, how do you even get into something like that? Love it. And then there's Scarlett with her numbers and spreadsheets and math equations. Their quirkiness was completely adorable and made them even more fun then they already were.

One thing that you come to realize right away was the very special and sweet bond and friendship between these two. For different reasons they both need that friendship in their lives. So even I was nervous when the kissing lessons first started happening. I mean I couldn't imagine this book not ending happily, but still it was the thought that, forever how long, things would turn upside down for them and I didn't want it to happen.

On the other hand, the other half of me desperately needed them to be together. From that very first kissing lesson, which left me nearly breathless as well, I just couldn't imagine them not being together. The chemistry was insane and I wish that this had been a movie at times so I could keep rewinding and watching that first kiss happen over and over. H-o-t.

And every character you meet is just so awesome. Finn's sisters, Billie and Amelia and Scarlett's hippie, nomadic parents. They're all so much fun and add both a sweetness and a bit of comic relief.

As you can already tell, I adored this book. It was everything I needed in the moment from a book. I haven't read anything by Rachel Bailey before, but that is definitely going to change now. I can't wait to get my hands on more.

Thanks to Entangled Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this book!
