Publisher's Summary:

Evan Hunt had spent most of his adult life working as an environmentalist and living out of a duffle bag. It came as a total shock when his father suddenly confronted him about setting goals for his future. Evan wasn't much for following rules and his instinct was to simply ignore what his dad was saying. However, he decided it was time to set his sights on success just to prove to his family that he could do it.

And that's exactly what he did. Just when it seemed like everything was coming together, Evan was involved in a serious motorcycle accident. All his plans and dreams were put on hold, and he was forced to move home to Charlotte so his parents could assist in his recovery.

He didn't expect this detour to change his life for the better. He was so focused on sticking with his plans that he almost missed out on the love of his life.

This is the start of something beautiful. Do not miss this story and I am feeling sad that this s series is coming to an end. I have enjoyed the five books and highly recommend you read this series.

Avid Reader

I read the whole series in order and loved them. They were just a simple love story unfolding beautifully. Loved each story and they were unique in their own special way. They were like one continuous story with each couple telling their own story'. Loved that all the books entwined and you could keep up with all the characters. They were very clean. This series is the first time I have read books by this author and will definitely read more of them.

The Whole Series!

It was awesome! I'm not the "giver of words", like Brooke, so awesome is the best I can do...lol!

I enjoy so many books, but this series was truly one of my most favorites.

I laughed out loud, and cried out loud. And I wish there were more.

You'd be doing yourselves a favor to get all the series & take the weekend to relax with them.

Thanks Brooke!

So Sad to be the End.

It is sad to be the end, but I can see where this is a good place for it. It is such a wonderful series you just don't want it to end. I know it is just a story, but in a somewhat perfect world, I can see God's hand in each character's life.

Maybe in the future, a take off with the next generation.

Keep writing great stories and praise God for your talent.

Pure Love

Sweet and amazing love story...so well written. Brooke captures the characters so well in their everyday lives, bringing out the best qualities and emotions that leave you wanting more and more of the story. This is a perfectly, beautiful romance, the kind you dream mighy come true.

DELICIOUS.. A BEAUTY & THE BEAST STANDOFF

The Publisher's Summary has given you a brief description of this book and, if that's tempted you, then I'll add that it's also got a heartwarming, sexy and thought provoking storyline too. Because ex Marine Eli has brought back some emotional demons from his tour of duty.. the loss of his friends/comrades and the partial loss of a leg has left Eli with a case of survivor's guilt even though he was honourably discharged. He's trying to pick up the pieces of a now very different life.. a life where he wants to set up a new Charity to help injured veterans but he's also getting pressure to join his two supportive brothers in running Crane Hotels. Eli's overrun, permanently annoyed, unsociable, moody and he's often in pain - and the very last thing he thinks he needs is an Assistant.. but when the beautiful confident, strong-willed, feisty new Assistant won't be frightened off, Eli has finally met his match.. in all aspects of his life - he just doesn't know it yet.

Isabella has come from a wealthy family who held lofty expectations from her both socially and personally which led to the wrong boyfriend but she's fought hard for her independence and owns a successful Employment Agency. Isabella thinks she knows what to expect when she takes the job that all eleven of her previous employees have been sacked from.. but, from day one, Isabella is drawn to the complex, damaged, handsome, infuriating beast that tempts her as much as he taunts her. And every time they clash fiery exchanges fuel the sizzling chemistry that's simmering between them. Isabella is smart, driven and direct and has always gone after what she wants.. and what she wants is Eli so, when sexual insecurities over his lost leg stop Eli from following through, Isabella is the perfect person to intimately tell and physically show Eli that he IS all man. However, the beast doesn't quite transform into a Prince because commitment-phobe Eli is very happy living in the now.. and trouble comes when Isabella wants his tomorrows..

But Addison isn't lost, and she sure as hell isn't going to be told what to do by an ornery mountain man with whom she'd spent one torrid weekend after her best friend's wedding. Jake has never left anyone behind - will Addison be his first failed rescue?

Disappointed

I love adventure romance. This was billed as such but the girl didnt even get to the mountains until about 90 minutes left in the story. This is more self discovery than adventure. Feels like false advertising in the description.

Book 4

I have enjoyed many of Melissa's books and this one filled me with joy and hope.

Members Reviews:

The open window

I like loved this story. The open window. The understanding of just giving her, his strength. The girl with a foster parent that was going into her room at night. The father that figured out what was happening to the girl his son protected, and reporting him. Causing them to lose each other. The way Dex would leave the window open for her all these years later.

Having to be able to learn and except she was safe.

Such a wonderful love story that touched my heart.

And B.J, soft and calming voice had me mesmerized!

Sexy and nurturing wrapped into one Alpha!

Honestly this was an amazing book. I was sick with pneumonia and bedridden and decided to try to listen to the book...and wow was it perfection. BJ Harrison mastered this book in such a way that I literally was transported to the Remington world in a flash...it took my mind off the illness and made me feel so much better. It really says something when you feel awful and something you listen to makes it all so much better. The story was sexy and entertaining...I swear Dex is my favorite Remington. His undying love for Ellie transcends through all he does. BJ is so convincing in all his unique characters its hard to remember its one person bringing all the characters to life. Such a great book...I highly recommend it!

The Remington Family is amazing

The Love in Bloom Series is narrated by one narrator, BJ Harrison. He has captured the feelings, the love, and the friendships perfectly. His tone and cadence is perfect for these sweet, sexy, loving characters.

The Remington Family is absolutely amazing. This series starts with Dex and Ellie. Dex is a dream guy. Although his heart has been broken by the same girl not once but twice, he is still willing to put his heart on the line and let Ellie back into his life. That is what I call true love. Dex is not a pushover though, he knows that he is taking a risk and does not let Ellie walk all over him. He wont let her run, as is her past history, and he pushes her to talk to him, tell him the truth.

Ellie is a rough cookie. She has had a tough background, being in foster home after foster home and having to move often. Not to mention the things she saw and dealt with while in those homes. Running has always been her go to escape. When Dex calls her out on her disappearing she knows that she has to stay and fight for the man she loves, has loved since she was twelve years old.

I HELD MY BREATH AS EACH CHAPTER WAS REVEALED

What an exciting and electrifying listen this was right from the get go as Newspaper Editor Harper first meets the mysterious sensual Software Mogul Jacob Latimer who soon introduces her to his dark sexual appetite.. which includes artfully placed black silk ropes. But Jacob is holding back secrets.. and one secret will connect him to Harper when they were young innocent teens - when an unbreakable bond was formed between a kidnapped Harper and the young boy who risked everything to save her from a terrible fate at the hands of a monster. However, Harper doesn't recognise her skinny young saviour in the handsome present-day businessman she's now falling for.. until slowly things start to unravel.

Jacob has gone to great lengths to hide his humble origins from the world so when he accidentally meets Harper again he thinks he can have it all and keep her from the disturbing memories of their locked-together pasts.. bitter-sweet memories he never wants to forget. Once Harper was everything to him, as he was to her, and Jacob just can't believe that she doesn't see who he really is.. behind the secretive Billionaire.. behind his fit body, shaven balls and alluring knots. But when the truth is eventually revealed both of them will be shocked and shaken with all the heartbreaking revelations.

This multi-layered listen was so addictive as you nervously wait for Harper to recognize the innocent boy she once loved in the kinky alpha man she's been helplessly falling for.. and to find the answers to his other secrets too. Jacob was intimidating, impenetrable and glacial.. but behind the aloof image lay a tantalizing man who had heart, heat and warmth. There's scorching hot detailed sex scenes with bondage, twists, suspense, romance, passion, good character growth and some sweet tense flashbacks to the events that first brought them together. Dual POV storyline that was awesomely told by one of my favorite narrators.

Worth a credit? YES, Beth Kery has weaved together a fascinating powerful love story with roots in the past as well as the present - I clung on to every enticing word, savored all the seductive unfolding drama and enjoyed every single second, minute and hour.

INCREDULOUS.. INCREDULOUS.. INCREDULOUS?

What did you like best about this story?

Like the new twist on romance book. It's still following a formula that all romance books use but still a bit new. Overall good.

Any additional comments?

I like audible books because I can multitask while I listen. I will listen 2 or even 3 times if I enjoyed it.

Catching Firefloes is a sweet second chance love story about Chance and Bree. They first meet freshman year in college and after things don't work out and a few years pass, they see each other again. Chance realizes his earlier mistakes with Bree and wants to move forward with a relationship with her. The rest of the story is about them rediscovering each other and figuring out what do with their lives and each other. The duel narration in this audio was great!

Not As Good As The Dark Room...

Well, I was a little disappointed in the Viewing Room. It just wasn't as solid as a follow up to the Dark Room as I thought it would be. I anticipated the scenes regarding the Viewing Room would be steamier, and more descriptive than they were. The lack of details regarding the "room" just made this another story about a strip club. I was also slightly disappointment with insta-love between the H/h. However, I did love the plot and the reverse character roles, a slightly older female character with an established law firm, and a younger male (just a couple of years difference) who is working as a stripper to pay his way through law school. That was a refreshing change of pace, most other romances it's the other way.

While the relationship between the H/h was instant, I liked they both knew what they wanted, and were determine to give their relationship a shot. None of the usual push/pull, no mind games or baggage, they worked well as a team and for a common goal. The sex scenes were descriptive and hot.

Some spoilers:

The story is well written, captivating, and moves at a steady pace. Both the plot and subplot was good, giving the story suspense and a dangerous edge that actually sneaks up on you. One of Kennedy's friends wants to get a divorce so she hires Kennedy's law firm. They suspect the client's husband has been cheating on her and goes to the Viewing Room to commit the act. Kennedy is determined to try to catch him in the act before filling the divorce papers. She and Hunter keep their eyes open while they are at the club and in the Viewing Room, just when they are about to give up, they finally see him at the club. When she files the divorce, he becomes violent, lashes out and devises a plan to get even with everyone. He was more dangerous than they gave him credit.

As with the first story, the narration was great! Emily and James both did an amazing job with the characters, emotions and their performance was lively. I would listen to other audios narrated by either of them.

While I was a little disappointed with the lack of details regarding the Viewing Room, I really liked the plot, and reverse character roles and did enjoy the story. I will definitely be on the lookout for other stories in the series. This is still a great KU/whispersync deal!

Middle of the road

Any additional comments?

I loved Dark Room and I was so thrilled to continue on with Viewing Room, I knew there was a story to tell there.

Kennedy is a divorcee that is looking to move on with her life. Her divorce was amicable and she just wants her ex and her to find happiness. Her friends just want her to stop working late and start having a good time.

Publisher's Summary:

Justus Jacobi loves three things: her seven-year-old son, landscape design, and the man she sees only once a year. For the past twelve years, they've spent a surreal week together, but Justus has never considered their relationship anything but a dream - especially since they've never exchanged their real names. But when Justus comes to the Texas Rose Ranch to work, fantasy becomes reality fast...

Houston "Rowdy" Rose is an award-winning vintner, the second son in the Texas Rose Ranch dynasty...and the keeper of a secret that, if discovered, would make him an outsider in his own family. If they knew where he went the first week of every September, it would throw into question his reputation - reserved, cautious - revealing an unbridled artistic side he'd rather keep hidden.

But that side of Rowdy is all Justus knows - until now. As they rekindle their passionate relationship in the real world, they learn what their lives look like outside of a once-a-year romance - and whether love can survive a reality check.

Members Reviews:

Love this series!

Any additional comments?

This is the second book in this series. Although, you don't have to have read/listened to the previous book, it would help with the family dynamics. I really enjoy Katie Graykowski's writing - she really knows how to make me laugh. I like the way she has written this family and their situations. Natalie Ross does a fantastic job of narrating. Justus and Houston as Justus knows him have met only once a year for 12 years and only use aliases and haven't exchanged contact information. Houston has told her that he doesn't want children so she doesn't tell him that he has a ten year old son. She decides not to meet him this year just as he's deciding to make their relationship more than once a year. Justus takes a landscaping job for her friend at the Texas Rose ranch and runs into Houston not knowing that the ranch is where he lives. His family and the way they accept Justus and her son are amazing. There are a lot of misunderstandings and they have to work through a lot but getting to the end or beginning is a wonderful journey. I can't wait for more in this series!

"Family Sticks Together"

Where does Texas Rose Always rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

this is a feel good series, that Ms Natalie Ross brings to life. I purchased this author as I am a fan of Reader. Don't change the reader if you want continued success.

Note: I do use the new 1.25x speed.

These are not stand alone books, but a continuing saga of a good family, each with his own story.

Would you be willing to try another book from Katie Graykowski? Why or why not?

Yes, can't wait for next book if Ms Ross does the read. You will want a Lucy in your life, and brothers you can count on to make you laugh.

Which scene was your favorite?

When the Twins babysit Hugh, with "his weight in popcorn" or "blowing up things"

Loved Rowdy's antics with "Elvis". Hugh will steal your heart as Ms Ross can do kid scenes so well.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

These are simple good time reads you don't want to end. It doesn't get better than that!

Steve Johnson is living his life's passion watching over the Colorado Mountains as a ranger and wildlife consultant. But his peaceful life is upended when overzealous and insanely beautiful Shannon Braden flits back into his life after returning from a brief trip home to Maryland. He thought his attraction to her was under control - after all, she's only in Colorado temporarily, and he doesn't do casual affairs.

Shannon's return to Colorado has as much to do with the game of cat and mouse she and Steve have been playing as it does the data she's been hired to collect. But despite her efforts to explore the undeniable heat simmering between them, Steve's intent on keeping his distance.

When a ranch abutting the national park goes up for sale, Steve will do whatever it takes to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. And when all his attempts fail, he's left with no alternative but to follow Shannon's guidance into the online world he abhors in order to raise the funds. The more time they spend together, the deeper their attraction becomes, and a game of cat and mouse turns into an unstoppable connection. But when Shannon's assignment comes to an end, will it mean an end to them, too?

Grizz's Butterfly
