Rescue My Heart by Jill Shalvis {Review}

Rescue My Heart

{ Animal Magnetism #3}

by Jill Shalvis

Animal Magnetism, Book Three (Adam’s story!)

After a tragic stint in the National Guards, Adam Connelly returns to Idaho and to Belle Haven, the animal shelter he owns with his brothers. All Adam wants is to be alone. Then he opens the door to the past—the woman whose heart he once broke. Still gorgeous, still tough-as-nails, but this time, unusually vulnerable.

Holly learned the hard way to never depend on a man for anything. Now, of all men, it’s the last one she wants to see, and the only one she needs. Her father has gone missing in the Bitterroot Mountains and she could use someone with tracking skills to help find him.

For Holly and Adam, each with their ghosts, a trek this desperate, this unpredictable, and this intimate, will have its share of risks—including opening their hearts one more time.

First Line: There was a fine line between being exhausted and being comatose, and Adam Connelly had just about found it.

Favorite Quote(s): Therapy 101- sitting on the guilt was unproductive
and
Because everyone knew that sharing a brownie meant that the calories didn't count.


My Review: The Animal Magnetism series is oh so very yummy!

A hot dude only gets hotter when you put him with adorable fur babies ( animals). Which translates into me getting nothing done when I pick a book up in the Animal Magnetism series. Add to the hot hero's, strong heroines and the small town life and you have a winner! No joke, I want to move to a small town when I read Jill Shalvis' Animal Magnetism series.

I do the happy dance whenever I get my hands on a Jill Shalvis book before the release date BUT that means a longer wait time for her next to come out.

Sam's Creed by Sarah McCarty {Review}

Sam's Creed

{ Hells Eight #2}

By Sarah McCarty

Trade Paperback, 423 pages

Published July 1st 2008 by Spice (first published 2008)

Known for making up his own rules of right and wrong, Texas Ranger Sam "Wildcard" MacGregor takes what he wants when he wants it, especially when it comes to women. But seduction is the last thing on his mind the moment he stumbles across an Hispanic beauty crouching in fear beside a burned-out wagon. And it doesn't take long before he realizes the woman the townsfolk call "cursed" is hiding secrets too dangerous to face alone.Isabella may look feminine and unassuming, but she's hell in a bodice with gunslinging skills to match any man's. But though she knows not to give Sam her heart as readily as she offers him her lush body, Isabella is certain she sees in Sam what he can barely glimpse in himself--a virtuous man dropped deep into a hard country bent on breaking him. A man who, under it all, craves a passionate woman willing to risk everything...

First Line(s): Sam was getting tired of death.

Favorite quote(s): He smiled the softest smile she'd ever seen on his face and traced her mouth with his thumb. " Your breasts aren't too big, your spirit isn't too wild, your sense of humor isn't inappropriate. Your perfect, Bella. You're sweet, giving and courageous, and any man lucky enough to be center of your attention should drop to his knees and thank his lucky stars."

"Edmund Burke once said, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

My Review: I haven't read a book this long in awhile, lately the books I have read have been 300 pages ( give or take). There is a feeling I get when I hold a book that is over 400 pages.. it makes me content and happy to dive into the depths of the story.

Sam is a moody and dark man, but it worked for him and Bella had the sass to call him on it time and time again. When these two went back in forth with each other, it made me grin and was my favorite times in the book. Other than there back and forth quirks this book just stayed in neutral for me. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the book, it just means I didn't love it.

I will tell you this, Sarah McCarty has me intrigued by the rough and mysterious men of Hell's Eight. You just don't find men made that way anymore and if you do they think to highly of themselves, ha!

Sam's Creed made me what to continue on in the Hell's Eight series. Maybe Tucker's story will get me to give it a 4 star ( or 5, seems it has been awhile since I gave a 5).

Let Me Be The One by Bella Andre {Review}

Let Me Be The One

{ The Sullivan's #6}

by Bella Andre

Kindle Edition

Published August 28th 2012 by Oak Press

When Vicki Bennett saved Ryan Sullivan’s life as a teenager, it was the beginning of a close friendship that never wavered despite her failed marriage to someone else and Ryan’s well-earned reputation as a ladies man. So when she suddenly needs a pretend boyfriend to protect herself and her career from a powerful man’s advances, he is the only person she can imagine asking.

Ryan will do anything to protect Vicki from harm, but when their “fake” kisses and caresses lead to an incredibly sensual night that neither of them can resist, will he have made the biggest mistake of all by irreparably jeopardizing their friendship? Or is it possible that what they’ve both been looking for has been right there the whole time…and the perfect combination of wicked and sweet, friendship and love, is finally within reach?

First Line(s): Victoria Bennett couldn't take her eyes off Ryan Sullivan, who was laughing with some of the guys on his baseball team as she headed through the high school parking lot toward the art store on University Avenue.

Favorite Quote(s): “Kindness is incredibly sexy.” 

My Review: Let Me Be The One was/is a sweet. endearing and extremely fast read! Ryan and Vicki have a story people dream about without being totally cheesy or over the top.

Ryan is a dreamboat. He knew what to say and came across as smooth and real! Sometimes when a guy tries to hard he comes across as a douche, not the case with Ryan.

I also loved how vulnerable Bella allowed herself to become and the road Bella Andre took us on to see Vicki get there was fun!

The Sullivan series has it all.... sexy, fun witty all based around a strong and tight family.

Kudos to Bella Andre

If You Were Mine by Bella Andre {Review{

If You Were Mine

{ The Sullivan's Series #5}

by Bella Andre

Paperback, 194 pages

Published May 24th 2012 by Oak Press LLC (first published May 22nd 2012)

The last thing Zach Sullivan wants is to take care of his brother's new puppy for two weeks. Until he meets the dog trainer, that is. Heather is bright, beautiful, and he can't stop thinking about her. Unfortunately, she just might be the only woman on earth who wants nothing to do with him.


Heather Linsey can't believe she's stuck working with one of the city’s top dogs, auto-shop mogul Zach Sullivan. Especially when his focus is clear from the start—not only to learn how to deal with his temporary puppy...but also to make her his. Having sworn off love at seventeen when she realized it was nothing more than a pack of lies, Heather has stuck to her vow never to fall for a charming man. The last thing she expects is for Zach to be the one to tempt her into believing again.


But as Heather's determination to push Zach away only fuels his determination to get closer—and the sensual and emotional connection between them grows more and more undeniable—can two people who've both sworn off love find forever in each other's arms?

First Line: Zach Sullivan stared with disgust at the bundle of fur chewing on his shoelace.


My Review: I think the Sullivan boys are on my top 5 of favorite men in series. With each passing book in The Sullivan series I fall even harder for the newest leading man, in this case Zach.


Bella Andre left nothing out in this story. Adorable animals, a strong family and a solid duo who share an amazing chemistry. All of these things together make If You Were Mine a must read!


I can NOT wait to read the next installment, Let Me Be The One.

Forever and a Day

{ Lucky Harbor Series #6}

by Jill Shalvis

Mass Market Paperback, 324 pages

Published July 31st 2012 by Grand Central

 LOVE CAN HAPPEN IN A HEARTBEAT.

Grace never thought she’d be starting her life over from scratch. Losing everything has landed her in Lucky Harbor, working as a dog walker for overwhelmed ER doctor Josh Scott. But the day his nanny fails to show up, Grace goes from caring for Josh’s loveable mutt to caring for his rambunctious kids. Soon Grace is playing house with the sexy single dad…

With so many people depending on him, Josh has no time for anything outside of his clinic and family–until Grace arrives in town. Now this brainy blonde is turning his life inside out and giving a whole new meaning to the phrase “good bedside manner.” Josh and Grace don’t know if what they have can last. But in a town like Lucky Harbor, a lifetime of love starts with just one day…

First Line(s): "It's just that I'm not going to be in Lucky Harbor much longer, so while I'm here, I'm aiming for... fun," said Grace.

Favorite Quote(s): " I think you have a case of being a little girl. Maybe you should presribe yourself a heavy dose of man the fuck up."

"It's because love is one of those really bossy bitches, " Amy said. "There's no telling it what to do."

My Review: I sound like a broken record but I will stand on my soap box and preach to whoever will listen until everyone has read a book by Jill Shalvis. She is FANTASTIC!! We all know by now she is my top go to author. I will bet it all on her in Las Vegas, she is just that damn good! Don't believe me, pick up any one of her books... especially one in the Lucky Harbor Series.

I adored Grace. She seemed real  ( I love when I feel this way about a character). While she was wishy washy at times it wasn't to thick that you wanted to reach into the book and slap her, saying " Snap out of it!!"

As for Josh, what's not to love. He seems like the whole package. Loyal to his family... check! Good job....check! Funny....check! And let's not forget, hot...check!

Colters' daughter by Maya Banks {Review}

Colters Daughter

{Colters Legacy #3}

by Maya Banks

ebook, 190 pages

Published February 1st 2011 by Samhain Publishing

He let her go once. This time he’s playing for keeps. 

Callie Colter once chased sunsets all over the world. Until Max. Together they were a perfect storm of desire, and she reveled in the beautiful burn. Then he disappeared, and the betrayal drove her home to lick her wounds.   

Who knew he’d have the gall to show his face in her brother’s bar.   

Max Wilder figures he deserves Callie’s right hook to the jaw, but it changes nothing. He had his reasons for pursuing her across Europe, for making her fall in love with him. But when she took everything he gave and offered more, she changed all the rules. He had no choice in leaving her, but he’s back. This time for the right reasons.   

Callie is angry and hurt, yet powerless against Max’s relentless onslaught. He’ll settle for nothing less than her complete surrender—and her love. Only when she’s back in his arms will he be truly happy. And the damning truth can stay safely tucked away.   

Except the truth has a way of creeping to the surface, and now Max is out of second chances.   

Warning: This title contains adult language, explicit sex, rough sex, anal sex. In other words...sex! Also contains themes of D/s which might offend some readers.  Lots of angst, emotion and betrayal. Second chances and lots of warm fuzzies.

First Line(s): The Mountain Pass Bar and Grill was hopping like frogs during mating season.

Favorite ( funny) Quote(s): “How do you maybe hit someone?” Michael drawled.

“Okay, so I decked him. At the time he deserved it.”

My Review: Well, this book is nothing like the prior two books in the series!
I mean the Colter Family hasn't changed but their sweet daughter is nothing like her fathers or brothers.


Callie is fierce and loyal, two traits that suit her well! I enjoyed reading her story and her sass!


Maya Banks takes us on quite a roller coaster ride with Callie and Max. Full of ups and downs and plenty of twists. Colters Daughter shows us that everyone makes mistakes and if we really try we can come back from those mistakes and make things just as good if not better than before.


You can't go wrong with Maya Banks.... a gem to us book lovers/bloggers!

Colters' Lady by Maya Banks { Review}

Colters' Lady

{ Colters' Legacy #2}

by Maya Banks

ebook, 199 pages

Published June 1st 2010 by Samhain (first published May 29th 2010)

Can their love give her the strength to overcome the tragedy in her past?

Colters' Legacy, Book 2


When police officer Seth Colter sees the delicate, shabbily dressed beauty in line at the soup kitchen where he's serving, he's gut shot over the idea of her being on the streets cold and alone. More baffling is the dark, possessive instinct that tells him she belongs to him.


For Lily Weston, home is a secluded nook in a back alley until Seth offers her a place to stay. She's wary of his offer, but even one night out of the cold is too much temptation to resist.


Seth is convinced Lily is his. The problem is, when his brothers lay eyes on her, the same primitive instinct comes roaring to the surface. The Colters never imagined they'd follow the unconventional path of their fathers, but they can't ignore their mutual need to offer Lily their protection and their love. But before Lily and the brothers can forge a future together, they must heal the deep wounds of her past.


Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, multiple partners, menage a quatre, violence.

First Line(s): Seth Colter walked into the soup kitchen and was greeted by a chorus of hellos from several police officers from his precinct.


Favorite Quote: “I’m having my own set of what-the-hell-is-going-on thoughts,” he said honestly. “But I’m not going to fight it, whatever it is between us. From the moment I saw you, I knew you were going to be a part of me. A big part of me. I don’t understand it, but I’m not going to fight it. I don’t want to fight it.”

My Review: You have to go into Colters Lady ( any of the Colters' Legacy books really) open minded. This family is far from the norm and if you go in with anything but an open mind you will most likely have a hard time not only getting into the story line but liking it.


With that said I am extremely open in the books I read ( sometimes to a fault, we will discuss this at a later time), so I enjoyed reading Colters' Lady very much. I would think it is hard enough to write about a "normal" relationship let alone one that has 4 people involved in it, but I believe Maya Banks does it very well. It doesn't seem forced or awkward reading about how Lily and the Colter brothers met and how they fall for each other and try to make it work.


Maya Banks could have stopped there... a book about a girl who loves 3 brothers but she gives this book much more depth. So much that I found myself tearing up at certain parts. That takes true talent.... steamy sex scenes one moment and the next your strings to your heart are being pulled big time. Yet that is what Maya Banks gives us in Colters Lady.


What a great book!

Scandal in Spring by Lisa Kleypas { Review}

Scandal in Spring

{ Wallflowers #4}

by Lisa Kleypas

Paperback, 374 pages

Published July 25th 2006 by Avon Books

 (first published January 1st 2006)

After spending three London seasons searching for a husband, Daisy Bowman's father has told her in no uncertain terms that she must find a husband. Now. And if Daisy can't snare an appropriate suitor, she will marry the man he chooses—the ruthless and aloof Matthew Swift.

Daisy is horrified. A Bowman never admits defeat, and she decides to do whatever it takes to marry someone . . . anyone . . . other than Matthew. But she doesn't count on Matthew's unexpected charm . . . or the blazing sensuality that soon flares beyond both their control. And Daisy discovers that the man she has always hated just might turn out to be the man of her dreams.

But right at the moment of sweet surrender, a scandalous secret is uncovered . . . one that could destroy both Matthew and a love more passionate and irresistible than Daisy's wildest fantasies.

First Line(s): " I have made a decision about Daisy's future," Thomas Bowman announced to his wife and daughter.

Favorite Quote(s): “Most lives are not distinguished by great achievements. They are measured by an infinite number of small ones. Each time you do a kindness for someone or bring a smile to his face, it gives your life meaning. Never doubt your value, little friend. The world would be a dismal place without you in it. ” 

My Review: I loved Scandal in Spring. It took me awhile to pick this series back up since reading the 3rd book but it was all fresh and clear once I did. The characters in The Wallflower series stay with you long after your put the book(s) down.

I am pretty sure if you read any reviews on Scandal in Spring ( or The Wallflower series in a whole) you will see why so many have fallen in love with it. L. Kleypas knows her historical romances and she is a pro! The story line flows from page one till the very last period. You are left wanting more and lacking sleep. She uses amazing descriptions not only in the locations the stories take place but in the words she uses for her characters. Close your eyes and you know exactly how Daisy and Matthew look.

I am sad to be at the end of this wonderful series! If you haven't picked a book up by Lisa Kleypas, do yourself a favor and get to it.... any book will do! Better yet, read them ALL!!

But in a town like Lucky Harbor, a lifetime of love starts with just one day…

First Line(s): Maddie drove the narrow, curvy highway with her past still napping at her heels after fourteen hundred miles.

Favorite Line(s): "It's because love is one of those really bossy bitches," Amy said. "There's no telling it what to do."

" I think you have a case of being a little girl. Maybe you should prescribe yourself a heavy dose of man- the fuck up."

My Review: A real treat from beginning to end!

I had a smile on my face the whole time I was reading this book. It was sweet and endearing and funny! 

I think Dr. Josh just might be my favorite dude out of all the Lucky Harbor hotties and that is saying a lot because Jill Shalvis knows how to write a story with a smoking hot leading man!

Josh and Grace were the real deal from the first time they met. Grace was what Josh needed in his crazy life and she was not afraid to take on his crazy life but instead she embraced it. It was nice to see Grace emerge from a timid person living in her parents shadows to a butterfly who felt free to live her life for herself!

I have said it before and I will say it a million times more... Jill Shalvis is the real deal.  You can't go wrong with any of her books/series. Lucky Harbor is a treat you must not deprive yourself from! Perfect Summer Reading! Or Fall, Winter or Spring... you get the point, read Jill Shalvis!!

At Last by Jill Shalvis {Review}

At Last

{ Lucky Harbor #5}

by Jill Shalvis

 Paperback, 400 pages

Published June 26th 2012 by Forever

HER LOVE HAS COME ALONG . . . 

Amy Michaels loves her new life in Lucky Harbor. A waitress in the local diner, she's looking forward to her first weekend hike through the mountains. But when a wrong turn takes her off the trail, she finds herself up close and personal with forest ranger Matt Bowers. And even though she's tempted to kiss that sexy smile right off his face, she won't make the mistake of getting involved with the town heartthrob.

A former cop whose life went south, Matt doesn't let anyone get too close. But something about the feisty beauty caught his eye the moment he first saw her in the diner. After a hot night under a starry sky, Matt can't deny their attraction-or the fact that for the first time in a long time, he feels the stirrings of something more. Now it's up to Matt to help Amy see that, no matter what is in their past, together they can build a future in Lucky Harbor.

First Line(s): I'm not lost," Amy Michaels said to the squirrel watching her from his perch on a tree branch.

My Review: By now you all know of my love for Jill Shalvis and well all of her books. It's true I have enjoyed all of them and a lot of the characters remain with me long after I have put the book(s) down. That right there shows you just how damn good she is!

Her Lucky Harbor series has been amazing, fun, hot and lovable! J. Shalvis has the ability to make you feel things for her characters and the locations her stories take place in.

Matt and Amy are not acceptation.... I loved the hot headed duo! 

At Last took us on the journey of Amy trying to find herself and her place by visiting the same places her grandmother had visited in her youth. While on this journey we see how raw Amy's emotions are. We also  see Matt come to terms with his past and accept that he needs to let go in order to find his own peace in Lucky Harbor.

At Last was an adorable contemporary romance read, although it is missing some of the steam that can be found in other Lucky Harbor books.

I look forward to seeing what is next for the chocolate lover friends!

My Rating: 

Thanks Net Galley for the chance to read At Last!

Kissin Tell by Lorelei James { Review}

Kissin Tell

{ Rough Rider #13}

by Lorelei James

She once led him around by a string. Now he’s the one holding the reins.

Georgia Hotchkiss swore wild horses couldn’t drag her back to Sundance, Wyoming. So it’s ironic she’s forced to take a rodeo PR job in her former hometown—right before her ten-year class reunion. The only thing worse than facing her cheating ex-husband and his pregnant wife? Showing up to the reunion without a date. Fate smiles on her when she runs into her former classmate and current cowboy hottie Tell McKay. With his infectious smile and fun-loving ways—not to mention his banging body—he’s the perfect solution to her problem.

Tell McKay had it so bad for Hot Lips Hotchkiss during high school that he let her run roughshod over him. But he is no longer that easily manipulated boy—these days he’s earned a reputation with the ladies that lives up to the McKay last name. He agrees to escort her to the reunion with one stipulation; that Georgia proves she has left behind the goody-goody cheerleader of the past—by sharing his bed.

Their sexual chemistry flashes so bright, they barely notice that the reunion has come and gone, and now they’re tangled up in another dreaded “R” word—relationship. But if Tell wants to get the girl this go-around, he’ll have to come up with a whole new set of knots to tie up her heartstrings.

Warning: Contains a sweet talkin’ wild cowboy with a wagon load of crazy-hot sex fantasies and the mad bedroom skills to back up his claims.

First Line(s): Georgia Hotchkiss swore wild horses couldn’t drag her back to Sundance,
Wyoming.

My Review: I fell in love with the Rough Riders series after I got the first book free on Amazon. After reading the first one I found myself buying all the books that were currently out ( most of them since I started this series about a year ago) and had them all read in a week. I have been waiting on pins and needles for Kissin Tell to be released. You can imagine how excited I was when I was offered the chance to read Kissin Tell before it's release date!

We all know the McKay men are erotic sexy men but in Kissin Tell we see a quirky fun and romantic side in Mr. Tell McKay. I loved seeing a softer side a McKay without him loosing the hot steamy caveman side! I might even go as far as to say Tell "might" be my favorite McKay to date. Keyword is might.... thinking I may need to revisit some of the McKay boys!

I adored Georgia. She is proof that people change and what we feel we know about people at first glance is most of the time dead wrong. I loved seeing her come out of the shell she was in high school and releasing who she really is. Like prior leading gals in the McKay men lives she was strong and held her own!

If your looking for a solid series ( yes the whole series) look no farther than the Rough Riders by Lorelei James. L. James knows her cowboys, her strong leading lady and she writes a sex scene like no on else. On the topic of "sex" I will say that Kissin Tell is more on the mild side than other books in the series but it works perfectly for Tell and Georgia.

Great job Lorelei James, Kissin Tell was worth the wait.

I Only Have Eyes for You by Bella Andre { Review }

I Only Have Eyes for you 

(The Sullivans #4)

by Bella Andre 

Kindle Edition

Published February 21st 2012 by Oak Press LLC 

Get ready for another Sullivan to fall in love in Bella Andre's bestselling contemporary romance series!

Sophie Sullivan, a librarian in San Francisco, was five years old when she fell head over heels in love with Jake McCann. Twenty years later, she's convinced the notorious bad boy still sees her as the "nice" Sullivan twin. That is, when he bothers to look at her at all. But when they both get caught up in the magic of the first Sullivan wedding, she knows it's long past time to do whatever it takes to make him see her for who she truly is...the woman who will love him forever.

Jake has always been a magnet for women, especially since his Irish pubs made him extremely wealthy. But the only woman he really wants is the one he can never have. Not only is Sophie his best friend's off-limits younger sister...he can't risk letting her get close enough to discover his deeply hidden secret.

Only, when Sophie appears on his doorstep as Jake's every fantasy come to life-smart, beautiful, and shockingly sexy-he doesn't have a prayer of taking his eyes, or his hands, off her. And he can't stop craving more of her sweet smiles and sinful kisses. Because even though Jake knows loving Sophie isn't the right thing to do...how can he possibly resist?

First Line (s): Sophie Sullivan surveyed the final wedding preparations with satisfaction.

My Review: My favorite book so far in the Sullivan series. Bella Andre knocked this one out of the park!!

Wit woo!

It was so fun to finally read a book on one of the Sullivan girls since the previous 3 books were on a few of Sophie's brothers. 

I Only Have Eyes For You kept me on my toes and turning those pages the whole way through.

I can NOT wait to read the other books in this series. Bella Andre has fastly earned a place as one of my go to authors! She has not failed me yet.

My Rating:

Once again I am behind in a whole lot of my reviews. The books I chose to pick up on my own free will will have short and to the point reviews. By doing this I can give my full attention to the books I am reviewing for authors/publishers.
Thanks for your understanding!

A Fair to Remember by Stacey Joy Natzel { review}

                   A Fair to Remember       (Welcome To Redemption #2)

by Stacey Joy Netzel 

Reformed gang member Wes Carter feels Redemption, Wisconsin, is just the place to relocate his financial business for reasons more than just the name. He’s ready for a nice, quiet life in small town USA. Tara Russell has decided it’s time to add some excitement to her life and get a little wild—no matter how uncomfortable it makes her or her overprotective family. They meet at the local fair one warm summer night and discover opposites attract for all the right reasons. Add a dash of Sugar in the form of an incorrigible Great Dane, and it’s destined to be A Fair To Remember.

First Line: There was no such thing as love at first sight, but Tara Russell needed someone to explain that to Sugar. 

My Review: I really enjoyed this quick read! I am going to for sure be reading the other books in the "
Welcome to Redemption" series. Like the first book I got this when it was free on Amazon. It is worth the small price because it's an endearing, fun read. Unrealistic in it's time frame but I think that adds to the story line In A Fair to Remember!

My Rating:

Once again I am behind in a whole lot of my reviews. The books I chose to pick up on my own free will will have short and to the point reviews. By doing this I can give my full attention to the books I am reviewing for authors/publishers.

My Review:  I loved this book pretty much from the beginning. I couldn't wait to hear Sophie's story. The pull Sophie and Jake share and have shared for the better part of their lives is what great stories are made of. This book had the two of them sharing in each other's highs and lows. I felt like I became their own little cheerleader for their relationship. Rah- Rah- Rah!

Bella Andre has hit it big with The Sullivan series. I look forward to reading If You Were Mine in the upcoming weeks.

My Rating: 

How long have I gone without giving a book a 5... I was starting to think I would never find a 5 star book again ( okay maybe not that dramatic).

Savannah's Ghost Tale by Kali Willows

Savannah's Ghost Tale

{1 Night Stand Series #45}

by Kali Willows

Kindle Edition

Published (first published October 11th 2011)

Savannah Teale has an obsession with the supernatural—to disprove it. An unorthodox Ghost Hunter with a dark secret, she doesn’t believe in life after death. Not anymore. Being romantically challenged since the traumatic death of her fiancé, she has no interest in dating, but her sister’s loving interference has led her to accept a date for a 1Night Stand.

Cameron Evans is one of Savannah’s most handsome, charismatic, and sexy bachelors. He’s an exceptionally gifted tour guide, and a psychic, but hasn’t learned how to turn off his gifts. Since his conversations with the dead are a turn-off for most women—to put it mildly—Cameron has turned to Madame Eve to find a woman who can accept him for himself and all he has to give.

They may be a great match—if a certain, lingering ghost would just step out of the picture

First Line: Orgasmic groans filled the air.

My Review: If you have seen "Ghost" the movie than you pretty much read this novella!

The good thing about novella's is they are short enough that you can use them to clear your mind in between the bigger novels. If you go into this book just expecting this than you will be fine.

I got this book on my Kindle Fire when it was free on Amazon it's now $3.99

My Rating :

Until next time... Happy Reading!
