Undeniably Yours (Kowalski Family #2)

by Shannon Stacey

Absolutely wonderful story. I gave it a 4★ because Kevin simply was fantastic and wonderful in trying to win Beth.

Its good to see Kevin fight for Beth and their child and willing to prove to her he is really a family man.  Beth was having control issue was fun to read because for her everything that was happening was like people wanting to control her.

The other character that was interesting was Paulie and Sam. It was fantastic to get to know her and the reason why she ran away and left Sam at the altar.

Review provided by Goodreads is :

One-night stand + two percent condom failure rate = happily ever after?

Bar owner Kevin Kowalski is used to women throwing their phone numbers at him, but lately he’s more interested in finding a woman to settle down with. A woman like Beth Hansen. If only their first meeting hadn’t gone so badly...

Beth’s tending bar at a wedding when she comes face-to-face with a tuxedo-clad man she never thought she’d see again. She tries to keep her distance from Kevin but, by last call, she can’t say no to his too-blue eyes or the invitation back to his room. Then she slips out before breakfast without leaving a note and, despite their precautions, pregnant.

Kevin quickly warms to the idea of being a dad and to seeing where things go with Beth. After all, he’s not the player she thinks he is. But she’s not ready for a relationship and, given his reputation, it’s going to take a lot to convince her to go on a second date with the father of her child...

74 Seaside Avenue (Cedar Cove #7)

by Debbie Macomber

Fantastic book.  It expressed explicitly how does a chess genius think, what goes on his mind and how the public fail to understand them.  Even though many admires them.  Bobby had lived a life where nobody really understand him until he met Teri and fell in love with her.

I read this book twice since I loved it so much. I give it a 4 ★

Hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did. And I have included a review by Goodreads.com for you.

Dear Reader,

I'm living a life I couldn't even have dreamed of a few years ago. I'm married to Bobby Polgar now (you know, the famous chess champion who just happens to be the man I love!). And we've got this beautiful house with a view of Puget Sound.

Lately something's been worrying Bobby, though. When I asked, he said he was "protecting his queen" -- and I got the oddest feeling he wasn't talking about chess but about me. He wouldn’t say anything else.

Do you remember Get Nailed, the beauty salon in Cedar Cove? I still work there. I'll tell you about my friend Rachel, who's got two men interested in her (count 'em, two). And I'll let you in on what I've heard about Linnette McAfee, who left town when her love life fell apart. (That kind of trouble I know all about.) Come in soon for a manicure and a chat, okay?

Teri (Miller) Polgar

6 Rainier Drive (Cedar Cove #6) by Debbie Macomber | 4 ★

6 Rainier Drive (Cedar Cove #6)

by Debbie Macomber

This is the sixth book in Cedar Cove series and I gave it a 4★. Firstly because it addressed a lot of emotions and doubts when something you have worked so hard and put all your time and money into it but in a blink of your eyes everything went up in smokes.

This book also managed to make us as readers question our values and humanity as well as question how hard are we going to fight for our marriage.

I loved it so much that I hope you will have the same experience.

Happy reading and I have provided a review on this book by goodreads below.

Review by Goodreads.com :

6 RAINER DRIVE
CEDAR COVE, WASHINGTON

DEAR READER,

As you may have heard, we've recently had quite a shock. My husband, Seth, and I lost our business, The Lighthouse restaurant --- to arson. The investigation continues. The prime suspect is a young ex-employee named Anson Butler, who disappeared right after the fire.

So Seth and I are trying to sort out our lives. (And let me tell you, this kind of crisis is not good for a marriage.) In the meantime, life goes on for everyone else in Cedar Cove --- with marriages, births, reunions and even the occasional scandal. One of the most interesting pieces of news is that Cal, who works on Cliff Harding's ranch, is now rescuing wild mustangs from Wyoming.

I have to run --- I'm meeting an old friend, Warren Saget, for lunch. Let's talk soon, and I'll fill you in on everything that's happening in town!

50 Harbor Street (Cedar Cove #5)

by Debbie Macomber

This is the fifth book in Cedar Cove series and by this time I'm hooked to this series, anxiously wanting to know what happens next. 

In this book we are kept suspend as to who keep on sending reminder and notes to Roy.  It was quiet interesting to find out in the end.  I enjoyed it and for me it rated a 3 ★ 

Hope you enjoy reading as well. I've included a review here.


Review by Goodreads.com :

Dear Reader,

Considering that I'm married to Cedar Cove's private investigator, you might think I enjoy mysteries.
But I don't -- especially when they involve us!
Roy's been receiving anonymous postcards and messages asking if we "regret the past."
We don't know what they mean....

On a more positive note, we're both delighted that our daughter, Linnette, has moved to Cedar Cove to work at the new medical clinic. A while ago I attended the humane society's "Dog and Bachelor Auction," where I bought her a date with Cal Washburn, who works at Cliff Harding's horse farm. Unfortunately Linnette is less enthusiastic about this date than I am.

Speaking of Cliff, the romance between him and Grace Sherman is back on. But that's only one of the many interesting stories here in Cedar Cove. So why don't you drop by for a coffee at my husband's office on Main Street or our house on Harbor and I'll tell you everything that's new!

Corrie .

Seducing Cinderella (Fighting for Love #1) by Gina L. Maxwell | 4 ★

Seducing Cinderella (Fighting for Love #1)

by Gina L. Maxwell

I loved this book. 4 ★ that's what i'm giving this book. It has a lot of insights that makes it not a simple book on love. It make us understand and also fall in love with Reid.

He was teaching and training her to attract the attention of the man she was interested but then...

You have to read this book. All I could say is it was fantastic and we could use Reid's suggestion to improve our look and life as well.

Enjoy reading this book as much as I did.


A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...

He'll teach her the art of seduction... for a price.

Mixed martial arts fighter Reid Andrews’s chance to reclaim his title as light heavyweight champ is shattered when he’s injured only months before the rematch. To make sure he’s healed in time, his trainer sends him to recuperate under a professional’s care—Reid’s best friend’s little sister, all grown up.

Disorganized and bookish Lucie Miller needs some professional help of her own. She’d do anything to catch the eye of a doctor she’s crushed on for years, so when Reid offers seduction lessons in exchange for 24/7 conditioning for the biggest fight of his career, Lucie jumps at the chance.

Soon Reid finds himself in the fight of his life... winning Lucie's heart before she gives it to someone else.

Billionaire Daddy (Billionaires #6)

by Claire Adams

I loved this book so much so that I wished there was a billionaire willing to do what Maddox was willing for love.

I gave this book 4 ★ because beside enjoy reading this book I felt sorry for Maddox. He was so in love with Evelyn that he tried not inform her he actually owned a few top restaurants and he himself is chef. 😄

The review provided by Goodreads.com is shown below.

Falling in love with her billionaire boss was the last thing she expected...especially since he was a single dad...

Maddox Moore already made a name for himself as a chef and successful restaurant owner before life threw a wrench into his own plans, and now he’s a multi-billionaire single father who doesn’t have time for anything outside of work and his kiddo.

After a night at a charity event, Maddox makes the sudden decision to bid on a date with a beautiful red-headed woman Evelyn, and twenty thousand dollars later, he wins her for the night.

He soon realizes that one night isn’t enough…he wants more of her. Too bad she’s not interested…yet. Can Maddox win her over without spilling too many of his secrets in the process, or will his desire for her have him baring all?

Billionaire Daddy is a steamy standalone single dad billionaire boss romance novel. No cheating. No cliffhangers. HEA. Includes 4 bonus novels for a limited time.

The Navy SEAL's Christmas Bride by Cora Seton | 2 ★

The Navy SEAL's Christmas Bride (The Heroes of Chance Creek #4)

This is a novella so I finished reading in an hour.  It was usual Cora Seton style which kept me hooked from page I. I give this book 2 ★ only because I would have enjoyed reading longer story line.

The story focus on Sarah's obsession in being accepted for her military strengths rather than been referred as a woman and always overlooked.

I share the review by Goodreads for your reference.

It’s Christmas time at Crescent Hall, but don’t expect expect peace, harmony and goodwill among men. When Mason Hall and his wife, Regan, invite their friends to stay for the holidays, sparks fly in an epic battle of the sexes, military style! 

Navy SEAL Dan Hemmins goes head to head with soldier Sarah Metlin to prove once and for all that woman can’t possibly qualify for an elite branch of the military, but when Sarah proves she’s not just one of the most qualified warriors he’s ever met, she’s also one of the smartest and sexiest, too, he’ll do whatever it takes to get close to her, even if he has to challenge her to another contest…or three…or five!

44 Cranberry Point (Cedar Cove #4)

by Debbie Macomber

This is the fourth book in this series and I gave it a 3 ★.  It was interesting and comforting to know the progress of other characters in previous 3 books.

I've included a review of this book provided by Goodreads.com for your reading.  Enjoy reading!


Dear Reader,

I love living in Cedar Cove, but things haven't been the same since a man died at our B and B. Turns out his name was Max Russell, and Bob had known him briefly in Vietnam.We still don't have any idea why he came here and—most important of all—who killed him. Because it now appears that he was poisoned. I sure hope somebody figures it out soon!

Not that we're providing the only news in Cedar Cove these days. I heard that Jon Bowman and Maryellen Sherman are getting married. And Maryellen's mom, Grace, has more than her share of interested men! The question is: Which one is she going to choose? Olivia—I guess it's Olivia Griffin now— is back from her honeymoon, and her mother, Charlotte (who's in her mid-seventies at least), seems to have a man in her life, too. I'm not sure Olivia's too pleased….

There's lots of other gossip I could tell you. Come by for a cup of tea and one of my blueberry muffins and we'll talk.

311 Pelican Court (Cedar Cove #3) by Debbie Macomber | 4 ★

311 Pelican Court (Cedar Cove #3)

by Debbie Macomber

Wonderful and lovely story.  How a marriage can break down bacausse lack of comminication and trust.  With judge ruling that Rosie and Zach are the who have to take turn moving into their old home and not moving their kids around was excellent idea.

It was also the main point that made them realize their love for each other is still true.

Hope you enjoy reading the third book in this series as much I did. And my rate for this book is 4 ★

I've included the review by Amazon.com here.

The third installment in Macomber's absorbing Cedar Cove series (following 204 Rosewood Lane) focuses on Rosie and Zach Cox, who have divorced after 17 years of marriage. They are shocked when Judge Olivia Lockhart makes another of her controversial rulings, this time granting their kids the house and ordering Rosie and Zach to make alternating visits. As they struggle with their tiring schedule and deal with their 15-year-old daughter Allison's growing resentment and subsequent problems, they realize that they still care for each other. Then, when Allison and her 9-year-old brother, plot to get their parents back together Rosie and Zach contemplate a reunion but know that learning to trust each other again will take some time. Meanwhile, Olivia is dealing with a love triangle; widowed librarian Grace explores the world of dating via the Internet; and Grace's daughter, Maryellen, struggles with being a first-time mom. Excellent characterization will keep readers anticipating the next visit to Cedar Cove.

I Adored a Lord (The Prince Catchers #2)

by Katharine Ashe

Wonderful book. Well written to express the love that came to two person who was not looking for it.

In the middle of all this they had to solve a murder, ...

I give 2 ★ because it was fun to read about the wealthy lording over Ravenna as she was a orphan and a nobody.


Review by Goodreads.com :


Three very different sisters beguile society with their beauty and charm, but only one of them must fulfill a prophecy: marry a prince. Who is the mystery Prince Charming, and which sister will be his bride?

All that clever, passionate Ravenna Caulfield wants is to stay far away from high society's mean girls.

All that handsome, heroic Lord Vitor Courtenay wants is to dash from dangerous adventure to adventure.

Now, snowbound in a castle with a bevy of the ton's scheming maidens all competing for a prince's hand in marriage, Ravenna's worst nightmare has come true.

Now, playing babysitter to his spoiled prince of a half-brother and potential brides, Vitor is champing at the bit to be gone.

When a stolen kiss in a stable leads to a corpse in a suit of armor, a canine kidnapping, and any number of scandalous liaisons, Ravenna and Vitor find themselves wrapped in a mystery they're perfectly paired to solve. But as for the mysteries of love and sex, Vitor's not about to let Ravenna escape until he's gotten what he desires.

204 Rosewood Lane (Cedar Cove #2)

by Debbie Macomber

I gave this book 4★ simply because I could not put down this book. 

It got me hooked from page one.  How painful it was for Grace who lost her husband who left her without any word or warning. And she couldn't find any fault why or where he was. It was reflection of our marriage as well as we can question ourselves if something like this happened what will or what can we do?

Review provided by Goodreads.com is:

Grace Sherman
204 Rosewood Lane
Cedar Cove, Washington

Dear Listener,
If you've been to Cedar Cove before we've probably met. You can usually find me either at home or at the public library, where I work. I've lived in this town all my life and raised two daughters here. But my husband and I - well, about six months ago, he disappeared. Just…disappeared. Where's Dan? Why did he go? Who's he with? Will I ever find out?

My hometown, my family and friends, bring me comfort during this difficult time. Comfort and a sense of shelter. I'm continually reminded that life can and does go on. For instance, everyone's been discussing weddings and babies lately. Justine - the only daughter of my best friend, Olivia Lockhart - impulsively got married a little while ago. My own daughter Kelly recently had a baby. Unfortunately, she refuses to accept that Dan might not return to see his first grandchild. My older daughter, Maryellen, is more realistic. I think she's seeing a new man, but for some reason she won't tell me who it is.

Then there's Jack, who's been pursuing a romance with Olivia, and his son, Eric, and Eric's girlfriend, Shelly (I think she's pregnant), and Zach and Rosemary Cox, whose marriage is reputedly on the skids and…Well, just come on over and we'll talk!

Grace.

Happy reading !!!

All You Need (Need You #3) by Lorelei James | 2★

All You Need (Need You #3)

by Lorelei James

This book started with fantastic dialogue and heated arguments between Annika and Axl but then ...

somewhere along the middle of the story it dwindled to a little bit boring and somehow it lost my interest. Still I managed to finish reading it and towards the end the story picked up my interest. And overall the ending was up my liking.

So myy rate for this book is 2★ .

Review provided by Goodreads.com is:

A hockey romance burns up the ice in the third sexy Need You novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the Mastered Series and the Blacktop Cowboys® Series.

PR agent Annika Lund can spin any disaster into a win. But revamping the reputation of a notorious Swedish hockey player will take every trick in her arsenal, especially when his agent insists that convincing everyone he’s no longer a playboy is top priority. And that it requires a sham relationship—with Annika playing the part of loving girlfriend.

On fire in the rink and in the bedroom, Axl Hammerquist couldn’t care less about being anyone’s golden boy. So when his agent forces him to play nice with a new publicist, he takes satisfaction in being as much of a pain as possible. But the more time he spends getting to know Annika, the more Axl starts to think that being Mr. Nice Guy might be worth it if it gets him the girl.
