ONCE AND ALWAYS by Elizabeth Hoyt

Okay, this was a first to me.  I recently began reading Elizabeth Hoyt books and I am starting to really like her.  Now this book was a shock to my system, I knew her as a historical romance author, not this type.  Intrigued I requested the book and was pleasantly surprised. Sam West is a small town cop who always has the inkling to pull over speeders in town.  This particular speeder however is the elusive Maisa Bradley,also known as May, the woman who he had an amazing one night with. Sam had every intention of making it more, but she sneaked away in the middle of the night, and showed having no interest in doing it again.  Sam has done his best to get time to talk to her, but she just blows him off. Not one to give up, Sam persist until the holy grail of  a misunderstanding ended up at his doorstep. Maisa could not believe her bad luck.  First she is pulled over, again, by the sexy cop that makes her feel things she shouldn't.  Then...

RING ON HER FINGER by Lisa Swinton

This book got me so angry.  This girl was not serious.  She did not deserve him and I wished he realized that he was better off without her and move on. Amanda St. Clair had a "What happens in Vegas" moment when she married the rich playboy, Blake Worthington, whom she loathed for the past four years.  Having the worst hangover of her life was not helping matters and all Amanda wanted was out of this so call marriage. With a promise to have the marriage annulled from her "husband", Amanda returns home, praying for this to end with no-one finding out about her stupid mistake. Her mistake was not so easily solved when Blake showed up on her doorstep, claiming that his parents cut him off and he has to pay for the annulment himself. Not wanting the spoiled rich kid to mingle with her family, but seeing as how she has no choice, she reluctantly allows Blake to stay. As the weeks went by and Blake did not go running back to his parents, Amanda sees a new sid...

YOU'RE ALL I NEED by Karen White-Owens

My library is back baby, YEAH.  It opened it's brand new door with their brand new look but the best part is, they kept their old staff.  When I entered again for the first time after all this time, I was so happy and borrowed two books to read, (even though I have so much e-books at home to read).  This is a story with a twist and I liked it, but was not satisfied by. Tia Edwards wants to make it in her chosen career whilst also maintaining a healthy relationship with her boyfriend, when it all goes downhill (Okay, it went downhill with the boyfriend, not her job), can anyone help her mend her broken heart? Enters Christophe Jensen, he's a new attorney from the home office in France, and for the past few weeks, these two have been flirting like crazy, but now with her ex-boyfriend out of the way, will Tia allow herself trust a man again, (she better) Finally feeling like her life is getting back on track, a family emergency has Tia at a cross-road between living...

RAINSHADOW ROAD by Lisa Kleypas

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I went into the Library, looking for some Nora Roberts books, and I turned around and what did I see, Rainshadow Road by Lisa Kleypas. I rushed to the counter, borrowed my book and was happy for two days which was how long it took me to finish the book (sad face). Lucy Marinn, a glass maker with a secret wonderful power, got her heart broken by her boyfriend when he left her for someone else.   Her broken heart was then shattered into a million pieces when he told her he was leaving her for her younger sister, and that they are engaged, which he was not able to do with her. Her heart was then put in a safe and locked away, never to be abused again, but also not able to love.  Lucy's parents was outraged by what her sister has done and refused to fund their marriage until they made things right with Lucy. Her ex-boyfriend, had the ridiculously stupid idea of asking an acquaintance to act as her boyfriend, you know, to "help" her ...

BED OF ROSES (Book two in the Brides Quarlet) By Nora Roberts

I love flowers but not as much as Miss Emmaline Grant, she lives for them.  Emma is part owner of Vows, which is in the wedding business and Emma's part is with the flowers.  The bouquet, the table center piece, once it involves flowers, Emma does it and does it with a fairy tale quality. Growing up with a love story like her parents, Emma's head constantly romanticizes everything.  She keep looking for Mr Right and she found him in Jack. Jack Cooke is a enjoy them now and leave them before they get to close kind of guy.  His mindset encourages him into not wanting or needing a relationship knowing that they never last and people get hurt. With Emma, there was no holding back and he was constantly hesitating when she says or does something that he thinks violates his space. He constantly hurts Emma unintentionally and Emma feels as if she has to frequently hold back her feelings so as not to scare Jack off. Shit hit the fan when she couldn't take ho...
