Review/Synopsis:

Review:

Several aspects of this story hit really close to home and I love when reading can do that. Rebecca’s sports romance stories are always a good time and Jilted Jock contains a soccer player who falls hard for a woman with a kind, helping heart.

Dumped at the alter, rough day doesn’t even begin to describe it. With no place to go because his his now ex left on their honeymoon and told him to move out of their apartment by the time she comes back – and oh by the way she also left him for one of his teammates – ouch!

Adele, sister to a former soccer player who was at the non-wedding, brings Finn home on that disastrous night. Seeing as he has no where else to go, she opens up her home to him knowing she was one a mess herself and if it wasn’t for the kindness of strangers she might never have made it out of the addictive state she was living in. She’s now been clean for years, living an orderly life, has a good job, and a boyfriend.

When Finn moves in Adele never considers that Finn would be interested in her, not only is she older than the sexy soccer star, but she’s fairly boring. She’s a long way from the wild, out of control girl she used to be, but the more time they spend together the more they seem to find in common, so it’s probably a good thing when she decides to move to New York to be with her boyfriend and get away from the all too tempting Finn.

Not everyone gets a second chance at the things that matter most. Rebecca gives us a look at what is important and how to fight for it. Finn has a HUGE heart and I couldn’t love him more for it, but I also like the fact that Adele isn’t a huge pushover. These two will touch your heart and to top it all off there is an adorable kitten, which I’m a big softie for.

Synopsis:

He was someone who belonged on the cover of Sports Illustrated instead of in my small beach town.

A sexy, cocky Australian soccer star named Finn was the last person I expected to be living with for two weeks.

He showed up at my brother’s house on his wedding night, hot, drunk, and very much not married. Next thing I knew, we were roommates, spending nights watching TV and getting to know one another.

Those two weeks turned into more than either of us bargained for.

He was fresh off a broken heart and I had a boyfriend.

I wasn’t supposed to fall for the jilted jock, especially when I knew we’d be going our separate ways.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except he’s not letting me go without a fight.

Review – Scandalous Scotsman by M.J. Fields

Review/Synopsis:

Review:

Loved it, loved it, laughed-out-loud loved it!!

I’m going to admit that I’ve never watched the Outlander (not that I don’t understand references or know the premise), but after reading this book I am now placing that show high up on my to be watched list!!!

Ethan James Stewart is the hottest Scot I’ve ever read, hands down. Growly, grouchy, caring, alpha, big, and loving…oh, I need that accented man in my life.

Add in Elizabeth is also quirky, outspoken, bumbling, and completely heartfelt and loving. I was feeling a major girl crush on her too!

These two together were reading gold. Moments of  pure happiness where I was laughing one moment and then some tears came leaking out of my face the next, but not long after I was laughing once again. Those are the absolute best moments when reading. Well, also when you add in the Scottish accent, and yes I seriously read the accented voice in my head and it’s soooooo dreamy, I really need to visit Scotland. Anyway, add in that Ethan is a cocky doc and Elizabeth is a quicky patient and top it all off that they are new neighbors, this book is a must read!

Synopsis:

One trip down the stairs, caused by a lone Lego, while wrapped in a towel, spewing a plethora of profanities, and my cell phone went flying.
I landed on my ass, and then the ER.
Between those two occurrences was a FaceTime call, placed by a bouncing phone, to the number of a man I didn’t even truly look at, who had now seen more of my body than anyone had since my Tinder days, over a year ago.
Three declined calls later, I limped out the door to get myself to the ER before starting my hectic day.
The ER was packed, but when I saw Nurse Bridget, one of my students’ mothers, I pleaded my case and she hurried me into an examination room.
An hour later, I left on crutches with a bruised ass, a fractured ankle, and an appointment to see an orthopedic surgeon at four p.m.
Arriving fifteen minutes late for that appointment, I heard the sexy yet very brash accent of a man who clearly had an obsession with punctuality and, apparently, no bedside manner.
Dr. Ethan Stewart, tall, copper-haired, sinfully sexy … was a total ass.
After a tongue-lashing about how irresponsible I was to, first, leave the ER with such an injury, and second, be late, I put him in his place … or so I thought.
Turned off by his arrogant attitude, turned on by the roguish glint in his green eyes and the way he spoke, I left his office a hot … and wet mess.
Upon exiting, my phone rang again. It was the same number from before, and I couldn’t help answering to give the caller a piece of my mind.
Once in my car, I hung up, tossed my phone on the passenger seat, and then looked out the window to see him with his phone to his ear and a grin spread across his far too handsome face.
It couldn’t be …
Could it?

Review – Silver-Tongued Devil by Lorelei James

53847115. sy475

Silver-Tongued Devil; Rough Rider Origin Novel 
(An origin standalone within a series)

by: Lorelei James

Review Rating:

Review/Synopsis:

Review:

Whether you are a Lorelei James fan, a historical romance fan, a fan of just a well written story, or looking for a new series because this is the where it all begins. Silver-Tongued Devil is the origins of the McKay Rough Riders series and although it may be the last book written it is the beginning of where the families McKay and West began.

I began reading Lorelei James years ago and was instantly hooked. The Rough Rider series became one of my instant buy everything Lorelei ever wrote and also forever has been a one-click author, so of course to have the origins of where this family came from is a feeling of pure giddiness that is basically indescribable.

It does not matter what time Lorelei writes the McKay family in; the 1800’s, the 1900’s, or even the 3000’s (yes, I’d love to see one of my favorite families living in the future) the point is the McKay’s are timeless, Lorelei’s writing is flawless, and I can truly never get enough.

Silver-Tongued Devil takes us back to the wild west. Back to a time when towns were just forming, there was such a thing as courting, and you worked hard for every little thing you had. Silas and Jonas McKay are twin boys who lost their parents young, but moved from the east towards the west and learned different skills along the way. This helped them survive once they finally settled on the spot that would become the McKay homestead. For Silas his dream of owning a ranch and the land needed to maintain the cattle actually coming to fruition. While Jonas was a deputy, which wasn’t necessarily his dream or his long term goal, but for now he was happy looking after his trouble making brother.

Dinah Thompson came out west looking to start over once she lost her parents. As a school teacher and nurse helping out the local doc she was content with her arrangement until Silas began courting her. Dreams of marriage and what could be made her wish time would move faster and also slow down all at once. She loved getting to know Silas’s land, setting up his home and especially getting to know him. If only he’d stay away from trouble everything would be perfect.

While Jonas is also in love with a particular woman, his love is a bit tricker to profess in polite society.  I’ll leave as a statement for you to ponder and discover for yourself when you pick up the book.

The McKay’s and the West’s have been feuding it feels like forever. You hear about it in multiple Rough Rider novels and you get to the bottom of where the animosity stems from here. A lot of questions are answered and just like Lorelei is known for, she doesn’t leave anything unturned. This is a gorgeous book that is not only rich and full of a time long gone, but also full of feisty McKay history. I could read her books forever and I know you will love this one!

Synopsis:

Their love story sparked a brushfire that grew into the legacy of Lorelei James’s Rough Riders series. This standalone historical romance is a prequel to the McKay family saga.

The West doesn’t get much wilder than Silas McKay. He’s earned his cowboy reputation not just as a rancher, but as a brawling card sharp who’s short on cash but long on charm. And just as soon as he claps eyes on the pretty new schoolteacher? Well, Dinah Thompson is about to discover what courtin’s like McKay-style—sweet, hot and passionate.

Luckily, Dinah’s got the sass and sense to stand up to Silas’s shenanigans. She relocated to rural Wyoming to teach and become a self-reliant woman, not to spend her nights dreaming about that blue-eyed rogue and his ranchwork honed-body. But Silas McKay’s powerful appeal and tempting promises convince Dinah to recklessly go all in with him.

When Silas’s long-standing rivalry with Zeke West puts Dinah, Silas and his twin brother Jonas in danger, each one is forced to make difficult decisions about taking a chance to build their legacy . . . and a love that transcends time.
