Members Reviews:

A really enjoyable read.

Sophie moves to Laguna after being jilted by a cheating fiance. She embarks on her desire to become a writer. As she begins to rebuild her life, she meets a great guy (Nick) that slowly finds his way into her heart. She learns to trust and love again. Nick has never met a woman like Sophie. Their chemistry is like nothing he's experienced before. A misunderstanding makes him turn away from Sophie, only to realize that he may have overacted out of fear of getting hurt. I really enjoyed this book. The ending made me smile.

Second chance romance

If you like second chance romance and lovely descriptions of ocean front places, then this book might be for you. This book was well written and you felt like you really were on the beach in California. The romance moves along quickly but not always smoothly, and the hero and heroine need to make some life changes to get to their Happily Ever After. But they do get there and have a satisfying ending for all.

A great debut novel!

If you're looking for that book to take with you on vacation--or to curl up with on a rainy day, this is the book for you. Sophie and Nick are smart, fun and their chemistry is fantastic. A great debut from a new author--you won't be sorry!

Awesome book!

This was an absolutely awesome book! Claire's writing flows so well I can't believe she is a debut author! It's such a fast paced and captivating story that I could not put it down. I really enjoyed Sophie and Nick as well as the steamy parts.

Loved this novel -- a perfect beach read for a recent vacation.

I'm picky about my romance novels and always leary of trying new authors, but I'm glad I took a chance on this book. The main characters were well-developed and extremely likeable -- Sophie frequently had me chuckling out loud -- and the secondary characters were also nicely drawn. The book was fast-paced and kept me hooked throughout...but not so fast-paced that the author skipped the work of making me care about the characters and their story.

I'm looking forward to the next two books in the series!

Wow

What an absolutely awesome book. The characters and story development were perfectly done. This book was extremely well written and has fast become of my favourite series of all time. I will definitely want to one click future releases from this author. This book was full of many twists and turns that will keep you guessing what is going to happen till the very end.I have the feeling that I am going to be seeing some special works coming from this author.

I could not wait to get to the end so I devoured it in one sitting. Incredible work!!

The storyline was done really well and was believable. It kept me gripped from the very start until the end, so much so I took the book everywhere with me in order to finish it. I adore this book and cannot wait to read other works from this amazing author. I will definitely be recommending this author to everyone I know.

A wonderful prequel to a much loved series!

As a woman raised by a single mother I found myself reading this book from a very personal perspective; I was the child begging for riding lessons as soon as I was old enough to take them. It wasn't until I was older that I realized the sacrifices my mother must have made not only in getting me riding lessons but in simply keeping together for myself and my three siblings (two of whom are twins which made my connection to this story even more profound). Garzon's characters are fully fleshed out and dimensional, I found myself feeling for all of them and empathize get with all of them - not just her title character. I started reading this series because I will read anything if it has horses as central figures, while this prequel is not a horse story I was still excited to read it. I wanted to know more about where these characters came from and what their lives were like before the trilogy. A part of me feels that the romance with Declan was a bit too fast and furious - especially considering Elina had two young children to consider in all her life decisions. Upon reflection though, and knowing Declan's take charge personality from the trilogy, the timeline makes sense. Sometimes things in life happen and they're simply right at the time and it's better not to question, this is also a work of fiction and as such I view it as somewhat of a fantasy.

Publisher's Summary:

Local TV news reporter Karli Lewis has one goal: escape the Iowa cornfields and podunk local news scene and hit the bright lights of the TV networks of Chicago. From drug busts to house fires and a devastating flood, Karli's career is on the rise, thanks to her talented and dizzingly handsome yet enigmatic news photographer, Jake Gibson. Chicago may be calling Karli, but Jake is a dedicated hometown boy and is staying put. Will Karli listen to her heart, or will she choose a dateline over her favorite date? Like any ambitious woman, can she reconcile the tug of war between unbridled ambition and a longing for home in the arms of the man she is beginning to understand she could lose forever?

Members Reviews:

A Smart Romance

This story has all the heart-tugging relational tension but with a sophistication that raises it above the romance genre. The behind-the-scenes look at newsroom life was an interesting setting for Karli and Jake's relationship to develop. Their passion for their work and their sense of social responsibility make both characters admirable. Additionally, the side stories were thought provoking. For instance, beside the obvious romance, there's the realization of the responsibility city planners have for the safety of their citizens. Also, Jake's grief scene, in which sweat substitutes for tears, was intensely effective and haunting. The ending of this story was very satisfying (I expect a happy ending when I invest in a romance novel!) It's hard not to cheer for Karli as she comes full circle from a disgruntled woman with a desire to make it "big" while resisting her dad's influence, to a woman who has learned exactly what she's all about, and what she's all about is oh-so-good! In the final scene....you'll wish you were having a drink with the girls celebrating their new loves!

Smart, sensitive, real, and romantic

I always love finding out what really goes on behind the scenes. I thought that the inside information about how newsrooms work was fascinating, so one nice surprise about this book is that I learned something too.

That was the yummy frosting on a cake that would have been delicious even without it. This was a big step up from a typical romance novel (although the... requisite scenes are wonderfully done). It was smart, sensitive, and real. Life can be messy and difficult (one reason that broadcast news was such a successful backdrop for the story) as well as joyful; all that was reflected in this novel in a way that really made me believe in the characters and care about them.

Highly recommended!

This book was highly recommended by a friend

This book was highly recommended by a friend, and I'm so glad I read it! Being a lifelong Midwesterner, I was delighted with the setting of Iowa and the true-to-life characters living their lives in the Heartland. This is an intelligent and emotional story of a small group of newsroom colleagues doing what they do best as they bring an outsider into their fold. Karli and Jake embark on a journey -- professional, then personal -- that made me laugh and cry and left me wanting more.

Members Reviews:

Brilliant

As book four in the Plantain Series I feel like Daisy and Wyatt's book is so completely different to the rest of the series! That doesn't mean it wasn't the same standard of writing. I loved Daisy so much, seeing her growth from the beginning was amazing. Her growth sexually and the confidence she had was honestly inspirational! Wyatt was just so hot and just good and kind. The relationship and bond they had together was so special and strong.

Wyatt is going through a very hard time when the book starts. His grandfather has past away and he can't seem to focus on school etc. His feelings for Daisy are growing strong each day and he can't hide it anymore.

Daisy has always found Wyatt attractive but he is her best friends brother and close family friend, she would be disappointing everyone. When things get heated one night between them two they cross the line and there is no going back.

This book was so sexually charged and just down right dirty! I loved it though. Wyatt and Daisy were in to some kinky stuff and the dirty talk... WOW!!!! It was soooo hot. The ending was great, I loved the action, it got my adrenaline pumping. I did think the book was a little too long for my liking but other than that I highly enjoyed it.

Sooooo hot

This series is so worth a read. This book = scorching. It's fun and adventurous, yet has that great AO drama I love in her books! Highly recommended.

My Two Pennies

Elizabeth Tebb has done a phenomenal job with the narration on this book, I feel when you listen to an audiobook it should be as though you're watching a movie with your eyes closed and that's exactly how I felt. The emotions poured into this story were absolutely amazing. Each book in this series gets hotter and more intense. Daisy and Wyatt are a pair that can never get their fill of the things they enjoy and I'm perfectly content with reading about it. Daisy begins to discover she has a slightly different taste sexually then her friends do and more power to her for continuing on her own path with her desires. Wyatt is the perfect blend of naughty and nice, I would have no problem at all venturing with his naughty side. This story is filled with off the charts sexiness but there's so much more then that as well. The turn their story took had me in complete shock and on the verge of tears due to the events taking place. Their story is one that will stay with me, these two are my new favorite duo. Amelia Oliver has topped herself once again. I cannot wait to see what's to come next in The Plantain Series.

That was a good story line. I am not a fan of books that don't nothing but have sex scenes in them. I like to have a story to go with it.

Publisher: Emily Tilton

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

By the time 18-year-old Heather Bradshaw returns home for the summer after her first year of college, she feels very grown-up indeed. With her parents away for several months, she has the house to herself, and she isn't going to let their old-fashioned notions of propriety get in the way of a good time if the opportunity presents itself and the guy is hot. It comes as quite a surprise, though, when the man who sets her heart racing turns out to be her best friend's father.

Upon realizing that Heather is flirting with him, Tom Malley sets out to play the role of the gentleman. He does his best to ignore her advances rather than take advantage of someone so inexperienced, but it quickly becomes clear that the beautiful, naïve young woman is in desperate need of a man's firm hand, and if he doesn't provide the stern dominance that is required she's going to get herself in over her head while searching for someone who will.

Determined to put a stop to Heather's out of control behavior and keep her from getting hurt, Tom takes the feisty girl over his knee for a long, hard, bare-bottom spanking that leaves her blushing and promising to behave herself. The humiliating chastisement merely intensifies her desire for him, however, and her response to his discipline deeply arouses Tom as well. Soon enough, he casts aside his hesitation and claims her thoroughly, but will the shame of surrendering her body to her best friend's father turn out to be more than Heather can bear?

Publisher's note: In Loco Parentis includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

Members Reviews:

Older dominate man teaches younger women done O so right!

Emily Tilton is a personal favorite of mine and this is one of her best books yet! Heather is an eighteen year old college student who after many attempts of hooking up at college with random guys but has never gotten pleasure from it. Coming home from college she see's her best friend's dad Tom spanking and pleasuring her old fifth grade teacher Miss Green. Tom finds out about this and sees some of her behavior with guys and relies she needs help. I loved the interplay between the three of these characters. Tom is a very considerate Dom who knows what he wants and while seeing that Heather needs what he has at least as a teacher early on worries that the age difference and the history could cause problems. Heather quickly see that Tom is perfect for her while having issue with coming to terms with her sexuality with Miss Green acting as a sub aid giving Heather pointers and helping her out.

As with all of Miss Tilton;s books this is really hot, the descriptions of the interactions between Tom and Heather are beautifully described either in direct telling of a punishment or a conversation between the two and some of the most beautiful descriptions of what submission and freedom feel like in Heather's internal dialogue. Tom makes for an stern but very understanding dom and I do admit the age difference was a turn on for me and it felt a natural part of who these two people are and why it works for them.

Members Reviews:

Enjoyable

Sabrina, a politician's daughter from LA flees to Alaska after she gets dumped just before her wedding and end up at a hunting lodge with a Zac, a serious hunk! They fight their attraction to each other then they don't! This is a sweet romance. The sex is only alluded to, so not racy. A quick, enjoyable book.

On my way to Alaska!

If you have ever felt the need to just escape...to walk away from an impossible situation then this story allows you to consider the benefits of such a rash decision. Who knows what you might find.

Her Alaskan Hero

Now this is a book with believable characters. I have many friends from Alaska and they are interesting and a bit different . It makes me yearn to visit Alaska again.It

A good read...

Typical love story: boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back. But it was thoroughly enjoyable and I am looking forward to reading Ethan's story.

A nice basic love story

Good easy reading. Could have been quite a bit steamiest. Really enjoyed the Alaska addition and felt this was what made the story into what it is. Read this easily in an afternoon to relieve a little stress. No thought required.

Publisher's Summary:

Dean "DeBaz" Bazner is a professional surfer, private about his past and quiet about his future. Like any famous professional athlete, he's got the talent and sponsors, but he hasn't clinched a World Title since his rookie year. Now in his thirties, with a career clock ticking, he's pushing his limits to get to number one again. When a travel writer named Azure Thomas is assigned to observe his journey between events, what seems like a dangerous diversion both in and out of the water, forces Dean to accept that there's more missing from his life than another trophy.

She doesn't know anything about surfing. She doesn't drool over his celebrity. And she sure as hell doesn't ask others to haul her crap around. Azure Thomas has been taking care of herself for most of her thirty years, and this is just another assignment in the changing world of freelance journalism. What she doesn't expect is an athlete who relates to her profound loss and has sacrificed everything except his soul to get to the top of his sport. Dean is more than the hot surfer splashed across magazines, and surfing is more than a hobby. Is it possible that what she can't live without is chasing the next big swell?

Members Reviews:

What a surprise!

This was such a pleasure! What a surprise. I'm frequently asked to review audiobooks that have been self-published by authors who choose their own narrators. More often than not, it's either mediocre or a complete disaster. But this book was just delightful, a great story and great narrator to boot.

Matt Haynes was an excellent choice to narrate this story. He had just enough range to distinguish each voice and his use of accents was spot on. I think his narration made the story even better.

I learned a lot about surfing; I had no idea all the stuff that goes into it. I also liked the slow burn romance, taking it's time to settle into itself. The characters - all of them - were a lot of fun. The story moved along nicely and I felt like I was right there in balmy Bali, cool, damp Oregon and sunny San Diego. Actually it would have been nice to have stayed in Bali . . .

Goulden has renewed my faith in self-published books and author-published audiobooks. This was definitely a winner.

3.5 Stars

If you are looking for a slow burn romance set on the pro surf tour of a sexy surfer, this book is for you. Dean is hot, smart, kind and talented. This coupled with a good taste of pro surf culture, and the exotic locales of the surf competitions made this novel a good read.

For Audiobook listeners.

I think the audiobook narrator was poorly cast. His voice was too mature and conservative for the main character. As I listened to the book, I struggled to imagine the cool laid back surf boy that the narrator was trying to portray. The characters voices didn't always vary and I often couldn't distinguish who was speaking. You are probably better off reading the print version.

A story full of angst, humor, and romance!

Chasing Swells is a great book to read for to have a little vacation and get away from life for a bit. AL Goulden does a good job of giving you visual narrations without overloading and dragging the story on. You feel like you are right there tasting the ocean water and air. It does start just a tad slow however, it does not take long for it to pick up and capture your attention. The story is full of humor, angst and romance.
