FOR KEEPS by Rachel Lacey

I love books that contain children and animals and this book was really promising since it contained both.  I have not heard about +Rachel Lacey but I'm glad I found her.  This was a great book.

Merry Atwater (weird name) is in trouble.  She's bankrupt, well her dog rescue is bankrupt and she, nearly so.  In need of a miracle, but what she got instead is another dog to take care of.

TJ Jameson needs a dog handler for his Children's Camp.  TJ hates dogs but knows that having a dog at the camp would be a way to get through to his artistic nephew. He needs a tame, well trained dog for this job and Merry is just the person he needs, except for one thing, she wants him to foster one of her dogs.

Merry knew this job was a God send and did not want to screw it up.  It's just that when she saw the ranch and all the big open spaces, she knew that TJ's ranch would be a perfect place for her dogs to stay until she can find a fixed home for them.

The way that TJ turned up his nose at her dogs, Merry could not hold in her disgust with him, and refuses the job.  Only having to come back, with her tail between her legs, desperate.  To further complicate things, the spark between Merry and TJ is burning hot, except they both want different things, or do they?

Read this exciting story of a woman who loves dogs and the man who loathes them.

+Rachel Lacey was a fun discovery of a read.  The puppy on the cover made me pause on this book and seeing +Jill Shalvis recommend this book, I just knew that I had to check this book out.  When I read the description on this book, I immediately requested this book and was ecstatic when I got accepted.

It was a late night when I started reading this book and I stayed up and read the entire thing in a few hours.  Judgement is still out, I won't know until I read another book by Miss Rachel Lacey before I can say she is an author to look out for. What I can say, is that I am eager to read more of her work.

The plot of this book was perfect, I love children and TJ is a sweetheart for coming up with the idea of a Children's Camp for children with special needs.  He mainly did it for his nephew but he got great joy out of helping the other children as well.  I liked TJ even though he does not like dogs, I'll leave it up to you to find out why.

Merry had a mystery with her for the majority of the book.  Something was heavy on her shoulder's.  Bits and pieces was given as to what her burden is, but I did not get the whole truth until almost to the end.

The downside of TJ was that he judged people, and animals, by the way they look. He judged Merry when he first saw her and even when he was getting to know her better, he still stuck with his first assumption of her.  He has the type of character that thinks that their way is the only way.  It made him almost lose his nephew and the woman he was growing to love, but he learned, too late, but he still learned.

HAPPY READING!

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

THE HIGHLAND HENCHMAN by Amy Jarecki

After reading "The Angel and the Warrior" I really needed a book to pick me up and I am so glad that this book did just the trick.  The only thing that irked me was that the heroine in this book upset me greatly. Needing royal assistance, Baron Ross issued a tournament to enchant the Highlanders to leave their land and come to the Lowlands to take part.  What he really wanted was for the Highlanders to fight a dangerous battle that would get most of them killed. After the tournament the Highland Lairds choose instead to entrust their best warriors to stay and fight. This was not exactly what Baron Ross wanted but he knew that he could not change their mind so he accepted. Bran MacLeod was one of the warriors that was left behind, and even though he did not like it, he knew that he can never go against his Laird.  It did not help matters that their was a dangerous instant attraction between him and the baron's last daughter.  Bran knows that getting involved ...
