Five Stars

I loved the whole series

Getting complicating but still a great book to read

This book is good. I'm now waiting for story on Casper's, will there be one? I've read Perfect Marriage Material before I read Perfect Seduction (the book before) I found that by not following according to the sequence I'm a bit lost even with the family chart. I would prefer Penny to concerntrate on the romance instead and less on the family ongoing.

The Last Real Cowboy

Another great story by Donna Alward. This is the first in her Cadence Creek Cowboys series. I read several of the others not realizing they had a prequel. This was as good as everything else she's written. Donna has a nice way of getting you to know her characters and feeling their real emotions. I love her strong heroines and tough heroes who aren't afraid to become a bit softer to fight for the women they love. The rural setting adds to the atmosphere making for a feel good book. I've come to discover you can't go wrong with Donna Alward.

This one comes with a bonus story. Can't wait to read that one too.

Grand Duo

I was disappointed at first when I learned there were two books in one. Then, I read the first, "Last Real..." and it was fantastic. So, I thought, I'll "try reading" the second book, "Rancher's Runaway..." Can you believe, two books that were good enough to have purchased either or both individually? You absolutely can't go wrong with this combo. Characters are superb again. Plot is different in both and no character is duplicated even though could have been fun --- maybe! Buy it! Read it!

Two great stories!

they both challenge snap judgements and encourage deeper relationships.

THE LAST REAL COWBOY: I loved this story and I can't wait to read about Ty!

THE RANCHERS RUNAWAY PRINCESS: it was a slower beginning than I'm used to but it was done brilliantly. I expected the ending to feel rushed but it didn't.

warning: I cried reading both of theses stories! a good cry but a cry none the less

Two outstanding life stories in one book

Both stories were full of real life situations that gave way to every emotion from chuckling to laughter to liking the characters to feeling their real love for one another. Even a few tears added to make it one of best books I have read in a long time.

Fun read

I enjoyed these two stories. It was light hearted which I like sometimes. My mind can just relax with this type of story.

Opposites attract

The story covers a few days, with a few chapters back in 1976 enlightening the present day situation, and the conclusion a few years down the road.

Eddie was a crap father who abandoned his wife and kids, Dean and Zoe. He's now dying in the hospital and it's the first time Dean sees him again in decades.

Clara is leaving her husband of forever and hopes her grown-up children won't hold it against her - especially Jo, forever romantic and unpractical. Jo's last whim is to fly over the Atlantic and break up her former fiancé's wedding.

When Jo and Dean meet, it's the unlikeliest match ever. However, how they meet, and how their story and family stories make sense, is a very enjoyable adventure.

When I started the last chapter I had a sudden inkling of the final twist. It's a bit too much and sad at the same time, but it does give the story a depth it would not otherwise have possessed.

My only complaint is with Jo's character. There is absolutely no way I could believe she was 35 - she is so immature and impulsive you'd think she was at least ten years younger. But it's a detail.

Heartwrenching and unputdownable

Another fantastic book from the amazing Adele Parks. The State We're in had me hooked within minutes, drawing out all manner of emotions. I couldn't want to reach the end - yet I didn't ever want it to end either... and what an ending!

Fabulous read!!

Like

Predictable and disappointing

Really predictable and unappealing characters. I eventually just skimmed the book - and even the 'surprise' ending was so cliched. Very disappointing.

Good book

I enjoyed the book, but it was a bit complicated to get into and the ending is so so sad!

Deception. Maddie Simcoe knows the devastation that comes from keeping secrets.

But before Maddie can start over, she must return home to put the past behind her once and for all....

Passion. When Maddie blows back into MJ Rocha's life, nothing will stop him from proving to her that walking away from him was the biggest mistake of her life - not even the engagement ring she wears.

Take me to Turtle Tear, Please!!!!

Taken by Storm is book 2 in the Give & Take series. This book picks up right where No Take Backs leaves off which was the novella that followed Taken. Summary: Rachael has gone to see Enzo Rocha to hear him out. He tells her that Merrick's son is alive. Rachael tells Merrick and he takes off. Enter MJ Rocha and the story begins. So the author is giving us a back story in this book to help us understand MJ, Maddie, and for me I think I understood Merrick better. This book is so different from the other story lines out there and that's what made me love it. Maddie? I really didn't like her in the beginning but when I found out why she kept her secret I was like "OH Hell No!" Enzo is a manipulating bastard and I don't know anyone who would choose love for a man over their own father. I love that even though this was Maddie and MJ's book you got snippets of Rachael and Merrick. I really love the chemistry between them and can't wait to get more of them in the next book. I really liked that the author changed her style for this book. If you read Taken you will understand because it was written in first person which I was not used to. This is another outstanding book in a very well written, well thought out series. The Plot is unique, intense and the sex is HOT! I'm a Fan of Kelli Maine and this series and highly recommend it. 5 Shiny Stars for this book.

unique blend of romance!

When leaving is the only option you have been given, how could you make him understand?

It wasnât an easy choice for Maddie. She never wanted to hurt MJ but leaving is the only sane choice left to protect him from getting hurt and from him knowing the truth.

She knows she could never turn back the pages of time. She couldnât change the past. She knows she couldnât be with him without her telling him the secrets that were not meant to be discovered. But those same secrets have start weighing heavily upon her.

It was never a secret how much I love this series.

A few reservations

Found it a bit hard to get in to. A lot of the female characters had similar names and in the beginning I found it confusing. Not her best. Less characters and we'd get to know them better.

Four Stars

Best book I have read in a long time!

OK Not an intellectual piece, but

MC BEATON beats Prozac and any sleeping pills. As strange as it can sound, all these series of regency novels have managed to help me make it through sleepless nights and sobbing days and I shall always be grateful to Mrs Beaton for that. The narrator of this series is outstanding, especially when being Fiona in the Miser of Mayfair.

Title: The Mill River Recluse

Author: Darcie Chan

Narrator: Liza Ross

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-01-13

Publisher: Hachette Audio UK

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Chick Lit

Publisher's Summary:

Disfigured by the blow of an abusive husband, the widow Mary McAllister has spent almost 60 years secluded in a white marble mansion overlooking the town of Mill River, Vermont. Her links to the outside world are few: the mail, an elderly priest, and a bedroom window with a view of the town below.

Most longtime residents of Mill River consider the marble house and its occupant peculiar, and few of them have ever seen Mary. But three newcomers - a police officer, his daughter, and a new schoolteacher - are curious about the reclusive old woman. Only the town priest truly knows the Mill River recluse, and the secret she keeps... a secret that, once revealed, will change the town, and the lives of its residents, forever.

In the tradition of Kim Edwards (The Memory Keeper's Daughter, The Lake of Dreams), The Mill River Recluse is a story of triumph over tragedy, one that reminds us of the value of friendship and the mysterious ways that love can come from the most unexpected places.

Critic Reviews:

"A touching story that encompasses the whole gamut of human behaviour with love and charity." (Red)

"An engaging read ****" (Star magazine)

"A real page-turner" (Choice)

Members Reviews:

Never giving up.

I wasn't sure when I began reading this book just exactly how I felt about it or even if I wanted to finish it. However the more I read, the more I wanted to read and before I knew it I had finished it. The characters really came alive and I found myself becoming engrossed in their lives. This book truly showed the struggles and challenges we all go thru in life. The important thing is to not give up, to let our faith in God guide us, to be kind to others and love our family, friends and neighbors helping them however we can.

Small town

Loved this story of small town life . Felt sadness and impatience with Mary, but then had to realize time and culture she lived in. Women weren't recognized as independent beings with their own thoughts, ideas, and desires. Mental health issues like anxiety around people weren't considered real illnesses. Physical abuse was often considered the victim's fault.

Enjoyable Book

This was an interesting book. I felt like I belonged in this little town. The descriptions of people and places were set in my mind as I read it.

Excellent

What a great story with wonderful characters.

A nice town.

Sad, happy and touching.

Easy flow no repeating. The end

A feel good read

Mary has the kind of loving soul we should all aspire to. This is a well written tale of a life spent hidden away, but fully lived all the same.
