PICNICS IN HYDE PARK by Nikki Moore

Picnics in Hyde park was different.  I'm still undecided if it was a good different or a bad different.

 Zoe Harper returns to the UK after five longs years when she found her fiance in bed with another woman.  Outraged, Zoe packs all her stuff and was on the next flight home only to find out that her sister, was thrown out of her job and her boyfriend is not returning any of her calls.

 Mad as hell from her deception, Zoe's anger takes an all time high making her take action as soon as her plane landed. Instead of going home and consoling her sister, she marched straight over to her sister's former employer to give him a piece of her mind.

 Instead, what she finds is an over-stressed father, Matt Reilly, in need of a new nanny for his children. Jet lag and anger do not mix and Zoe finds herself being interviewed for a job as the new nanny instead.

 Matt Reilly has a lot going on.  He's a famous music producer who lets his children be raised by the nanny with barely any input from him.

 Filled with guilt over his wife's death, Matt is emotionally distant to everyone around him and he seems not to have a problem with it.  So when his new outspoken nanny starts challenging him to actually spend time with his kids, he does not know how to handle it.

 The sparks that seem to fly between them does not help matters.  Will he ever get back his life the way it was before?

 This is a book about misplaced revenge and a really messed up situation.  When you hear the reasoning behind why Zoe's sister was fired, you will wonder the heck was wrong with that man's head.  You'll know what I mean when you read the book.

 Something that I disliked about this book was that the children, who are important aspects of the story, were introduced into the story in such a way they sounded like and after thought.

 Also, I do not buy the romance in the book.  It has nothing in the book that leads to the first kiss between Zoe and Matt.  One minute they were arguing, and the next they were making out at the side of the house like a couple of teenagers.  That kiss came out of nowhere for me.

 The book was nice, but it did not meet my expectations for a Nikki Moore romance.  I love the way she writes, but this book was not up to par with the other books I've read of hers.  My biggest disappointment is how easy Matt and Zoe got back together.  He called for her and she came running.   That's not all to the story, but that's how it felt to me.
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...

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...
