Publisher's Summary:

Months after Shane Martin's sister vanishes, life crashes down, and he finds himself the guardian of a nephew he never knew existed. Blissfully ignorant, Shane trades in his musician status, full of late nights and fast women, for midnight feedings and lullabies. But when Kate McAlister, his prissy, stuck-up caseworker, arrives unexpectedly, he realizes he could lose everything.

Kate isn't impressed by Shane's messy bachelor pad, rocker image, or sexy tattoos. As a matter of fact, she finds it all very sophomoric. The sooner she's off the case the better. Everything from his long hair to his sarcastic attitude threatens her professionalism. But when he lowers his guard and asks for help, she discovers a side to this tattooed musician she can't resist. Behind this simple man is an unsung hero.

Members Reviews:

Funny & Sad

I enjoyed the Simple Man, my first book by Lydia Michaels, an interesting combination of sad and happy with a splash of romance.

The main character Shane was a hard working blue collar worker (a wonderful change from all the arrogant billionaires) who struggled to make a home for his orphaned nephew. His dedication to learning how to take care of a baby was hysterically funny and achingly sweet.

When Shane falls for Kate, the social worker from family services, their relationship is threatened by his insecurity, her professional responsibilities and their many differences. Shane was simply a wonderful yet flawed man who loved with all his heart, treating Kate with kindness and respect.

Great story with graphic language and explicit sex but absolutely NO domination or sexual violence. Shane adored his mother, raised his younger sister after his parents died and wanted to find a loving & equal partner to share his life. Shane was so much sexier than any alpha jerk!

I laughed and cried.

This is a great story that will have you feeling every emotion. A must listen to story!

Short but sweet

You meet Katrina in the second book beautiful series, a beautiful forever. She is in love with David; but alas she's been putting off her wedding.

Throughout the book see how much David loves Katrina but he's very confused as to why they been engaged for two years.

About 50% you finally found out why Katrina hasn't married David yet. I personally think it's really cute and David finds it funny yet cute at the same time.

After finding out her secret, David makes it's his priority to plan their wedding so everything goes off without a hitch and they're both had married happily ever after.

After such secrecy from Katrina and family and friends called, will David be able to pull off the perfect wedding? Or Katerina wait forever for her fairytale come true..

A true love indeed

I honestly didn't like A Beautiful Struggle. In fact, I didn't give it a high rating, simply because I felt the characters were so juvenile with their actions and decisions. Though for this book, I highly recommend it and gave it a 5 without second thoughts.

Apparently the lack of romance and chemistry between David and Trina and the indecisiveness of David I was whining about in book 1, the author made up for them in this book. Their relationship became shaky at some point but these two has endured a lot worse. They learned how to communicate better to understand how each other feels. For some, the reason for Trina's hesitation to get married is too shallow. Well I am not to correct them. This is one thing that I felt the author must have lost to come up with a complication to make the story interesting and ended up with something laughable instead. Though it still worked out though and I am just happy that David far from his young self learned how to listen and understand Trina's more complicated personality.

This book has completely told how the love story of David and Trina blossomed into Something Beautiful. As if I cannot get enough, I will be reading the next book Too Close to see how David survived all those years keeping his real feelings for Trina.

A Love story, simply BEAUTIFUL and LOVED!

Waiting for this book to be released was torture. I knew it would be great but it was better than expected. I will try my hardest to review this without being a spoiler.

David and Trina's love for each other is what all girls dream about. They adore each other, no they complete one another. Yes, there were some very steamy sex scenes but they didn't over take the story.

Lilliana Anderson writes with descriptions that you can picture in your head. The characters are very believable and each have depth and importance.

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

In a war torn Afghanistan, Junie signs up for a Peace Corps assignment involving recently orphaned children. She wasn't expecting a lavish experience. She knew it would be primitive and dangerous, but it turned out to be way more difficult than she could have imagined.

Captain Tyler Alexander, US Army, Infantry: Mission first and mission ready is his motto, but he realizes it all has a deeper meaning when he meets Junie - a Flower-power Peace Corps volunteer.

Members Reviews:

A Pleasant Surprise!

For a short story, it was much better than I thought it would be. The author did a good job describing the "war zone", it was descriptive and interesting. It really made me wish this was longer. Captain Tyler Alexander and his team were ambushed, while taking Junie and the other Peace Corps members to an orphanage in Afghanistan. Junie and the Captain were taken prisoner and he planed a daring escape for them.

The narration was good. I actually liked Michael Icenogle performance more than Rita Rush but they both did good.

This story could easily be listened to in one sitting. There's no steamy romance, but the story follows the characters as they come to terms with their feelings after their ordeal. I received this audio from the publisher for an honest review.

Amazing story!

--I was given a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review

This is my first Amy Rachiele book, and it was amazing. I didn't know what to expect, have listened to many military romances, but this was really the first one that has taken me to the front lines and made me feel like I was there. The story of Junie and Tyler is a short, but very powerful one.Tyler, Captain of his unit, and Junie, a Peace Corp volunteer are kidnapped by the Taliban early on. Once away, Tyler removes himself as far as he can from Junie, unable to stop thinking about her. Tyler, though an idiot for part of the story, comes through as an amazing, caring man. Just when Junie thought all was lost, he comes in and apologizes, sweeps her off her feet and they are on the road to love. Then, the attack happens and the hero comes through. I love that the hard muscled, strong, brave man saves a piece of shrapnel that he took from Junie, a true romantic keeping something that hooks them to each other and carries it around.

Rita Rush and Michael Icenogle bring this story to life with their tagteam narration. I especially loved Michael, I thought his voice was perfect for this story.

Sweet!

Any additional comments?

This audiobook was given to me for an honest unbiased review. This was sweet, loved the reaction from both the military and civilian perspectives. There is no sex, this was a nice change, there is no need for sex in romances, it can be great, but too much leaves a vacuum in the plot, this was wonderful, no vacuum.

Interesting and Insightful

The author and narrators were new to me on this book along with the military romance genre. I thought the author did a great job portraying both the military and civilization reaction to their surroundings. The story was well written and full of hope. Language was not offensive at all. Steam level was low and clean. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Lovely Clean Romance

This Military romance is set in Afghanistan. It's a story full of action and adventure and a blossoming love.

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

From USA Today best-selling author Allie Boniface comes this sweet summer romance of a matchmaker who falls in love with the man she's trying to set up with someone else....

Jen Oakes is a free spirit who's home to enjoy Lindsey Point's beach scene for a few weeks. Max Wainfield is the local geek who's fallen for the wrong girl. Can Jen help Max get the girl he wants before she leaves at summer's end...or will she end up falling for him instead?

Members Reviews:

Love It

This was a new to me author and I can't wait to hear more. The narrator had a great voice and it flowed very smoothly. I'm definitely interested in the other stories of her brother and friends.

Sweet Innocent Romance Good As Young Adult Too

Jen has returned home for a few weeks over the summer. She has a job lined up for the fall so she thinks she'll take it easy and enjoy her two weeks.

On the beach one night she sees a couple of her classmates, Melinda and Max. Melinda

makes Max the butt of her joke and Jen cannot stand it. She is out to set things straight for Max.

For the next couple of weeks, she coaches Max on everything in love. From pretending to be his girlfriend with smoldering kisses, to walks on the beach and more.

Melinda takes notice and decides that Max is the only one for her. So she and Max begin dating. But after every outing, Max runs to Jen to find out what he should do next and report on how the date went.

Jen begins to wonder if this matchmaking is her style. Her two weeks coming to a close and real life is to start setting in. Was matchmaking all that she had expected and more?

Susan Soriano was wonderful and took the voices of the young characters into account in her performance. Good job!

This is one of those books that could be categorized as young adult, as well as contemporary romance, as it goes past nothing but a few kisses.

Notes: There is nothing to warn about here.

Rating: If this went by the movie theater rating system it would be PG

Stars: overall four, performance 3.5 to 4 & story 3.5 to 4

In the categories that I marked 3.54 is because this is a story that is relatively "cookie-cutter" with no surprises or twist that you don't see coming. A very nice listen all around.

After Paradise

It was a nice small town romance, about a nerd and a popular girl, who eventually fall in love. It was a short story, which is probably why there wasn't a lot of character development, and plot twists. Overall, a good read.

Cute clean read enjoyable

Any additional comments?

This was a cute clean read which is very enjoyable about a woman who helps a friend who is a geek get the girl he wants. As in most short stories you cannot say too much or it gives the story away.

Publisher: Olga Nunez Miret

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

If you are nuts about TV cookery programs and think chocolate is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, keep reading!

I Love Your Cupcakes is a "sweet" romance, a virtual fantasy high in calories and a fun adventure. Dare to give it a bite!

Dulce, Adelfa, and Storm, the protagonists of I Love Your Cupcakes are business partners, friends, and share some "interesting" family connections. All the men Dulce meets only ever talk about her cakes, and she's tired of it. Her friend, Adelfa, although she's a chemistry professor, can't manage to find the recipe for the perfect relationship. And Storm, the third of the partners of their bakery/coffee shop/bookshop/art gallery and ex-fire station, is an artist who is not a master in the art of love. How could they imagine that at the studio of the contest "Do You Have What It Takes to Be the Next Baking Star?" they'd find sexual harassment, cheats, fights, and also love?

With dogs, fire trucks, London double-decker buses, school buses, artists, chemists, engineers, architects, intrigue, scandals, bigamy, and lots and lots of desserts, I Love Your Cupcakes is a romantic comedy with a sweet heart. You will find baddies, crooks, goodies, odd balls, and flawed but endearing characters. More than anything, I can promise you good humor, friendship, smiles, sense of community, heart, and plenty of cakes. Try it! I'm sure you won't be able to stop once you give it a bite!

I hope you come to love Dulce, Adelfa, Storm, and their friends as much as I do. And if that is the case, please let me know. I wouldn't mind writing some more adventures about them and baking more cakes!

Members Reviews:

Unique Story With Past & Present Intertwined

This is a sweet story about three friends & business partners. It is told with past and present glimpses throughout. I found it a bit confusing at first because it always seems more difficult to keep up with multiple timelines when you are listening to a story versus reading from my kindle or book.

The story goes back and forth between when they decided to open a unique bakery together and when they find themselves in a TV cookery program a few years later.

The characters are well developed and the narration was ok.

There is a bit of suspense, drama, and light romance.

This audiobook was provided free of charge in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion.

Cute book

This isn't a book you're going to have to hang onto the edge of your seats for, but it's a delightful little story nonetheless. There were a few parts that read a little awkwardly, but not so much so that you wouldn't be able to enjoy the book. Kudos for the depth of characters and giving each their own unique types.

Delicious Story So Sweet To The Ears !

What did you love best about I Love Your Cupcakes?

I absolutely adored the 3 main characters, Dulce, Adelfa and Storm. Each one has a unique personality and they compliment each other in their daily goings and comings.They don't always agree on everything but they somehow manage to make their unique relationship work out for the best.

What was one of the most memorable moments of I Love Your Cupcakes?

Without give too much away I will say I enjoyed the bedroom scene that did not turn out the way the sex-crazed guy had planned.

Away from her small Ohio hometown, she steps into a university town dedicated to sports and success. Trying to adjust to school life as a varsity athlete she learns there are perks and challenges because of her status.

Tyler Jensen, the boy she desperately wants to catch the attention of, seems to have forgotten all about what happened on Aileen's recruiting trip last February. Devastated, she throws her frustration into the only thing she knows - track.

Will pushing everything to the limit create the fulfillment she so desperately wants, or will everything come crashing down before she reaches the first hurdle?

Members Reviews:

Football and hurdles

The is the second book in Aileen and Tyler's story. Aileen let her feelings for Tyler dictate the college she attended only the get there and find things different than she thought. She pours her heart into workouts and school only to find the situation is not at all what it seems. The only problem with this story is that it seems unfinished and even leaves you wanting more. Enjoyable read.

2nd in series of sports novellas

Aileen had a hot tryst with Tyler and skipped Stanford for the University of Gatica and Tyler. She did not hear from him all summer and then she did not go to Nationals. She is ranked 10th in the world in hurdles and decides to concentrate on school and track. She has settled in with Jani and they have fixed the place up. They have a party where she briefly sees Tyler, but decides she is not going to chase after a boy. She is going to do what she came there for. Tyler is always tied up with school and football. As the star athlete of the University, he is always being paraded around for the Alumni and donations. This is Tyler's last year before he heads to the NFL. Will Tyler and Aileen have a chance?

This novella is well written. It gives a lot more details about the time and money that goes into turning out college and professional athletes.

This book was much better than the first in the series

This book was much better than the first in the series, but it left much to be desired. I mostly hated the way it ended, and the next book doesn't do much to help with the disappointment of the ending. I feel like book 3 isn't even about these two main characters, and this one leaves us with lots of questions. While the story had a lot of potential I feel like it fell flat in many ways.

love this strong female athlete!

I love this series!!! Tyler is hot but what i love is how strong Aileen is! I love seeing a woman athlete!

I can't wait for more in this series. Would love some longer books as well.

I loved this book so much

I loved this book so much! Looking forward to the next one. I honestly couldnt put it down once I started. Love the characters!

Loved it.

Fabulous read!

Nine Months to Change His Life by Marion Lennox

I love stories where there is drama. I love stories where babies are the result of an accident, though fates hard work. I also enjoy reading stories where men, who were not looking to become fathers so soon, end up having their mind changed.

We meet Mary and damn, sheâs had a rough life. I love how the author worked in a Cinderella style story line into this novel! I truly felt for Mary!!! I wanted to hug her. It was not her fault. It was her stupid step momâs fault and things happen that are out of our control.

When we meet dare devil twin Ben. Heâs your typical hero, rich and has been hurt by women. Granted there seems to be some bad luck following him and his twin Jake.

When Marion entered the wild storm and the rescue, I was HOOKED! I was worried for Mary and most definitely worried about Ben. Being that Mary was smart and had some provisions stored away, and for her to have the strength to drag Ben into the small cave, was super human strength. Which is a true thing. I loved the chapters when they were in the cave. Marion detailed the story with heightened emotion, details and filled us readers in on what was going on for these two. Heck having the little dog in there was perfect!

I enjoyed when the storm was over and Mary had come to terms with the possibility of not seeing Ben. Though I truly wanted him to rescue her. Needless to say he had some issues to deal with.

Maryâs strength was catching. She came to tell Ben about the baby that was in her tummy and how she wanted nothing from him. The way the author wrote her hero and heroine was very well done. I wanted to meet them.

Without giving anything more away with regards to the story. The characters were lovable, smart and witty. They made enduring the tropical storm, even more epic. How Mary tried to control the situation, and how Ben gently worked his way around Maryâs rules, for him to realize that this woman was the one heâd been in need of, was beautifully interwoven in the story.

Needless to say, I am very interested in Jake story and what other stories this author has written!

Cheers, H.L. Laffin

sweet book

This was a sweet book. There were times I wanted to shake Ben and wake him up. I was thankful he figured everything out in the end. Both Ben, and Mary had heartbreak happen surrounding their family. Ben guarded his heart. Mary on the other hand faced the world head on. She was very brave.

I loved the beginning of the book. The description of the hurricane that they faced was very good. Mary found Ben washed up on the shore. She was on her way to shelter to ride out the storm, but she couldn't leave him there. The wind was blowing hard, and Ben was a big man. Mary knew she could not carry him. She managed somehow to get him to a cave where the two rode out the storm.

Is friendship enough

"A Bravo Christmas Wedding" by Christine Rimmer gives us the story of Princess Aurora Bravo-Calabretti and Walker McKellan.

Aurora (Rory) come out for the wedding of her cousin Clara and her Mother hired Walker to be her bodyguard. What she didn't know is that Rory has had a crush on Walker for a few years, or did she.

Walker insists that they shouldn't do anything to ruin their friendship. He refuses to think of her as anything but his younger friend. Sometimes the best laid plans do not work out. Walker lets Rory know that he can't commit to ever being more than a fling to anyone. He has many issues from his past that needs to come to terms with before he can be ready for such a commitment. Can he leave the past in the past?

If you start reading this book find a time when you have uninterrupted time, because you're not going to want to put this one down. There are things that happen in the story where you think that it's a classic romance, but there are some other things that come up which are stones thrown in the path of their romance/friendship.

Love this Bravo story. If you haven't read any of the other "Bravo" books your missing out on a great family saga, but the books flow nicely and you'll find it easy to follow even without having read another part of the series.

Perfect Christmas Story

I loved this one from start to finish. The characters were interesting and even though you pretty much knew how it was going to end it was fun to get there.

Christmas Wedding

As always Christine Rimmer gives us another great book, a rugged dense cowboy and a beautiful princess women. Getting stranded up in a blizzard changes everything. Thanks Christine can't wait for the next one...

Great story

I have enjoyed this series and would love to read more. I enjoy reading this author. I Look forward to reading more from her.

Love the Bravo's

Christine Rimmer does it again! Love the Bravo's. Good stoory from beginning to end. Very touching.

Publisher's Summary:

Sergeant First Class Avi Grant's return to Tallgrass, Oklahoma, is a long-deferred wish come true. With her final tour in Afghanistan over, Avi can focus on her future - a job here at home and a family of her own. There's just one thing she has to do first: visit her beloved commanding officer's widow and share her grief. The last thing she expected was to feel an instant attraction to the woman's son. Too bad the sexy surgeon is impossible to ignore...and even harder to resist.

The sting of his parents' divorce still niggles at Ben Noble. So when a warm, funny, and beautiful young sergeant arrives, mourning his stepfather's loss as strongly as his mother does, Ben can't help but feel conflicted. If his parents taught him anything, it's that love doesn't last - especially with a career soldier. But try as he might to keep his distance, Ben begins to see that Avi - and the spark she brings to his life - is the stuff forever is made of. As Avi's leave ticks away, can Ben convince her to take a chance on forever with him?

Members Reviews:

Sweet main characters, but weak plot line and unlike-able secondary character

I like this author and I have enjoyed all the previous books in the Tallgrass series, but this latest book in the series is my least favorite. It took me two weeks to finish it, because the story line and the main characters' issues just failed to hold my interest. The story was slow moving with very little conflict and might have been better suited as a novella.

Main character Dr. Ben Noble was a secondary character in the previous book. Nice enough guy with mother abandonment issues. Army Sgt Avi Grant was back in Tallgrass on a month's leave before taking on a new Army assignment in Georgia. Ben and Avi meet, begin dating and have some funny, sweet moments together, and quickly fall in love. Even though both characters continuously admit to themselves and readers that they want marriage, children and a home, neither will budge on their positions. Avi has two years in her next active duty assignment in Georgia and wants to remain on active duty until she can retire at age 38. Ben doesn't want to leave the Tulsa area because he wants to remain geographically close to his two grown, independent sisters who he helped raise. That's their 'big' conflict. It seemed rather weak to me, and I would think two such very smart, accomplished people could have found a way to work around this, like maybe he could relocate for two years, or they could explore some long distance relationship for the short term? Because they were so much in love, right, that they had so many options to TRY to make something work? There are such things as planes, cars so Ben could easily visit with his sisters and his niece and nephew back in Tulsa and they could come to see him, too. He wasn't being asked to colonize Mars! This plot was just an example of a 'solution in search of a problem.'

My main reason for giving this book an 'okay' rating was the character of Patricia, Ben's mother. I did not like or respect her at all in the previous book, and I did not care for how the author, through her characters, constantly justified Patricia's cheating on her first husband, and her abandonment of her first marriage and her three dependent children.
