The Cowgirl Ropes a Billionaire (Cowboys of Chance Creek) (Volume 4)
This is book 4 of the Cowboys of Chance Creek series. I have read them all and they get better as each title comes about.Bella is the Veteran of Chance Creek she takes care of the pets the town folks love, cats, dogs etc. She is running out of money to help take care of the shelter. She hasn’t asked anyone for help as she is afraid to. Her helper Heather has entered her into a contest where she could win Ten billion dollars. Evan is the owner of Mortimer Innovations. He needs a wife for a year to keep the company for himself or his little brother gets to take over. With nothing left he gets his secretary to get him on the show.
Bella and Evan face off on the contest for 5 days. Neither one wanting to lose or lose their hearts to each other. During the contest they encounter some secrets they both share and some tender moments. The author did a wonderful job with the character development. You would feel the tension between the characters and the hint of love.
I enjoy reading this series and look forward to the next one.

Go Global: Building an International Author Platform That Sells
A great book to help authors with their platforms. Nice to have a book that has the in's and out's and easy to read.
Getting Rowdy
If you have not read the first two books you might want to do that. We meet Rowdy in the first book which is Pepper's brother. IN the second book we see where Rowdy is flirting with Avery quite well I might add. She is working in the bar he owns.
Rowdy has spent most of his time running from the worse people anyone could imagine. All he wants is good sex and as you might guess a lot of it. But with Avery he can picture more then just a few nights of sex. He knows Avery is hiding something and he must find out what.
Different things take place and a lot of us to get involved in.
I enjoyed the story. Lori's writing takes a reader in from the first page until the last. She has everything for everyone to enjoy, suspense, secrets, love, and more.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good suspense romance.
Downtown Cowboy
A remarkable read by Jean Blasiar. The boys and I love her Emmy Budd series and when this book arrived to us we were excited to try a new book. Brady is a unique young man. He likes to go to the dump to see what comes from Uptown. When he finds a diary by Robert Stevens he sets off to look for the boy and lend him some help. Brady got lucky when he found the house the maid thought he was there looking for the job to help the gardener. The next day Brady gave the book to Roberts mother who was not too keen on Brady and at first did not believe his story. She let him stay to swim with Robert and he saw his diary sitting beside Brady. He asked if Brady read it and he said he did but only he did not have a step father he hated. He knew Robert could use a friend.
Brady found out some of the diary was not true Robert pretended to he had a bad step father so it would explain why he had no friends. They come up with an idea for a party to help gain Robert some friends as he explained he was not in the clique. Will the party help and what about the downtown, uptown relationship?
The story was a wonderful read. It's nice to see people not judge and get to know the "real" person behind where they come from. Brady meets a lot of interesting kids and vice versa. The characters pop out of the page and draw you into the story. It's heartwarming to read such an amazing story and one that can help other kids understand differences.

Merry Humbug Christmas: Two Tales of Holiday Romance
My thoughts:Joss can not stand Christmas. Usually her best friend Reese ( yes just like the buttercup chocolate ) go somewhere to get away from the holidays. This year is not the case. Reese is engaged and is spending time with his family while Joss goes on a anti Christmas cruise. To poor Joss the cruise has been cancelled and she is put on a different ship one that loves Christmas. She is in luck with Patrick a nice handsom Irishman. He might be able to save the day and have Joss love Christmas again.
Reese she should have went with Joss on the cruise might have save her some trouble. First the deer then meeting her in-laws to set their cabin on fire. It's no wonder she might be loosing Damian after they just got engaged. The story is great and you learn much more about the girls in each story.

THE LIGHTHOUSE BRIDES COLLECTION
My thoughts:A great collection for stories and lighthouses. I enjoyed all the stories they were remarkably well done. I can not pinpoint one I like over the others as I loved them all. We knew woman could be lighthouse keepers too back in the day and find romance. That was the best part about some of these stories. Women had a more active role than just sitting back and having the men take care of them.
