ONE PINK ROSE

This book started off on a confusing note.  The Clayborne brothers were all talking about a man who ripped off their Mama Rose and Travis nominated himself to track down the thief and get back what was lost.

 So since going on +Goodreads and realising that this was the second book of the series I finally knew the reason why I was clueless of all the names in the beginning and the history behind them. I'm accustomed to books giving a brief history of events in past books and that is why I was stumped at the beginning of this book.

 After getting out from the confusion st the beginning of the story, which I recommend that you read the first book in the series, For The Roses, to understand what's going on, the book picked up for me and stayed up until the end that is.

 In order to go after the criminal, Travis agreed to help Mama Rose out by escorting a Lady to her intended. It was an easy enough task until he met the lady who he was to escort. Let's just say that they did not immediately like each other.

 Emily Finnegan has made a logical decision in choosing a husband after the disaster of her last betrothal.  Now she's taking charge of her own destiny and nothing is going to interfere with her life anymore.  That was the plan before she started falling in love with her escort. 

 Emily has just a big personality and she tries to hide it since her personality is not considered "proper".  But it's really hard not to be yourself and the funny thing was, the more she was herself, the more Travis liked her.

 The downside of Emily's actions made Travis get shot and also made his criminal slip through his fingers.  You just have to read the book to get the entire story, I guarantee it will have you laughing.

 My problem with the book, besides being totally confused at the beginning, was how Travis and Emily got together.  It started off so good and then it ended so anti-climatic and I was disappointed by the ending.  The middle part of the book was filled with so much fun goodness I can forgive the confusing beginning and lacking end.

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...
