BROWN EYED GIRL by Lisa Kleypas

I read Blue-Eyed Devil so long ago I forgot about the last Travis brother, Joe.  How could I have done that?  I love the Travis family and all the drama that comes with the famous Travis name.

Avery Crosslin became a Wedding Planner in recent years and she is an up and coming star in Housten Society. Celebrities and rich families alike are hearing wonderful things about Avery and her amazing planning skills.

Avery could not be more thrilled for all the publicity that her business was attaining. Everything sounds magical until you factor in, Avery does not believe in love.

Shocking, I know. How can someone who comes up with beautiful ideas for people's wedding not believe in the magic of love is confusing, I know. But as you get to know her, you will understand and totally love Avery.

It was at one of these weddings that Avery ran into Joe Travis.  She accidentally mistook him as one of the wedding photographers that she hired.

She realized her mistake soon enough and even though Joe pulled out his Travis charm, Avery was just not falling for it.  Unfortunately, Joe is not one to back down and he takes her on a ride that Avery could not resist.

Telling herself that it was only one night, Avery indulged and tried to walk away but Joe was not having it.  The Travis's men know how to go after what they want and Joe wants Avery.

Unfortunately for him, Avery is also determined to have nothing to do with him, since in her mind, a man like him spells nothing but trouble for her and Avery cannot afford the distraction. Especially since she got the job to plan the wedding of the year- which so happen to be a make-or-break event.

A big job like this comes with its own complications, but the complications that came with this wedding was putting Avery in a moral dilemma.  Adding her own complications on top of that when Joe made it abundantly clear that he was not giving up on her.  This forces Avery into looking at the origin of  her insecurities and her beliefs, which is a scary thing to do.

Will Avery find a way to overcome her insecurities?  Would Joe find a way to break down all of Avery's defense walls?  What is so bad about the wedding that Avery was conflicted about what to do?  Find out in the fourth installment in the Travis Family Series, Brown Eyed Girl.

+Lisa Kleypas is such an amazing author.  She is one of my go-to author that I can pick any of her books off the shelf, without reading the description on the back, and know that I in for one emotional roller coaster ride.

This is the first book in a long while where I did not feel irritated with any of the characters.  I completely understood why Avery acted the way she did and it made me love her more.  I admired her for not being affected by Joe's sweet charm and fortune, but by the person he is.

Yes, there was an instant attraction, but it was refreshing to see that Joe and Avery did not immediately jump each other's bones.  (Even though Joe really wanted too).  Joe had to work for it, and boy did he work for it.

I love all the Travis's men, and sister.  The stories on how they all found love was just so beautiful to read about.  My favorite book in the entire series is Smooth Talking Stranger.  I can't help it, I love books with children and animals in it.

This book was inspiring, lovely, beautiful and amazing to read.  I just could not put the book down until I had too.  This was a sad event since this meant that the end of the book was here.  For once in what feels as forever, the ending did not give me diabetes with its sweetness.

Thank you +Lisa Kleypas for this amazing read and I can't wait to read one of your amazing works of art again.


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...

MY CURVY VALENTINE by Sugar Jamison

This book is tied with Gentlemen Prefers Curves for the best book in this series.  Maggie is such a beautiful person, but she is also clueless. I could tell that she was has been married to the same guy for years before the both of them even knew it. Deciding to quit her high paying job as a bio-medical engineer and to follow her fashion dreams by working in a clothing store that caters to the full figured woman like herself. You might think that Maggie Calhoun must be out of her mind, especially since this all came about with her parents divorce. And you would be right, Maggie is out of her mind.  Out of her mind in bliss.  This is the first time in her life that she is doing something for herself, and she plans to enjoy it.  That is until her brother's best friend, Alex, moved his bakery beneath her apartment. Every morning she is awakened by sexual dreams that include whatever is being made in the bakery each morning.  Her dreams o...

WICKED BOND by Sawyer Bennett

Finally, we come to Bridger's story and I must admit, it was not what I was expecting.  Bridger Payne is a walking enigma that no one can quite figure out.  Even his best friend don't know the full story of where Bridger came from. In the Silo, Many want him but not can have him, well not the real him anyway. That's because Bridger lives with so much pain, a pain he has no reason to get rid of since the pain is what makes him survive. If you've read the books from the series you would know Bridger. He helped each and every one of my lovable guys to get their head out their arse and go after their women. You would think that a man that gives such good advice would also take his own preaching, but no such luck. Bridger more believes in happily ever after for everyone other than him. In his mind, he's too f*cked up to be helped and he's learned to accept that, but then Maggie was unexpectedly dumped in his care and Bridger found emotion he's neve...
