Long A Ghost and Far Away
by Adrea Downing
 
What if you were blessed to find your soulmate but lost her way too soon...
What if you were struggling to find your soulmate but found yourself trapped and desperate...
What if the same soulmates were meant for each other throughout all lifetimes...

Filled with charm and laughter, Colby and Lizzie's story enchants and intrigues. Colby loves his Lizzie in the most adoring forever-after kind of way, making you fall in love with him from the beginning. You can feel Lizzie's hurt and frustration as she deals with everything life throws at her - well, what both her lives throw at her - but then you can also feel the safety and love she finds in Colby and her struggle with clinging to what her heart and soul needs.

I giggled throughout the story as Colby and Lizzie figured out their hea.

The Ghost and The Bridegroom
by Patti Sherry-Crews
 
Talk about a beginning that took me from awww, how fun to EEK! how freaked! Hang on for a wild ride! Healy has her work cut out for her as navigates her way through a case she wasn't sure she wanted anything to do with and finding herself traveling to do it anyways. A little bit of magic adds to the story, gifting Healy with some boosting confidence and letting the sass come to life. I adored when Aaron showed up and their immediate attraction set off some hilarious and some sweet moments. He sure can be a charmer! The twists with the case kept me on edge wondering what freak out was coming next, and the drama of Aaron and Healy's relationship kept me cheerin' them on! 

If you want a little bit of freaky ghost-bumps along with your hea, this is a fun story to dive into!

Texas Outlaw by Adrienne deWolfe

I knew pretty quick after starting this book I was gonna fall in deep -- and I did! I deeply enjoyed getting lost in Fancy and Cord's story.

I knew there was something deeper to Fancy than her sassy charms and smarts. And as you learn more about her, you can't help but intensely feel for her -- from the hidden heart-shattering secrets to the relieved and cheer-worthy discovering of her strength. Her growth caught me off-guard with how intensely I experienced it with her.

Cord -- I love that man! His grit and determination to track down Fancy rolled right over into his pursuit of her - both as an outlaw and then as his woman. If there was ever the right man for Fancy to teach her true love and what that means, he perfectly filled those shoes. And quite honestly, Fancy was the perfect woman to help fight off the demons he struggled with.

Besides being entertaining, real-life messages of looking deeper into a person, not giving up, digging for the truth, and fighting for what you need and want are weaved into the pages. Definitely not a book to pass by!

Cabin 12 by Freya Barker

Fast passed and addictive, Bella and Jasper's story kept me up way late for two nights trying to experience it all! I really enjoyed getting to see both of them win the hea they both deserved.

West of Forgotten by Lynda J. Cox

Oh. My. Goodness.

I loved this story!! My breath was stolen and my heart shattered over and over again.... But put back together so beautifully and perfectly!

Definitely a story not to be missed! Not only that, but there's a deeper message woven in the pages that many a heart needs to hear....and believe.

Harmonica Joe's Reluctant Bride by Sarah J. McNeal

With a little bit of magic and twists, we're immediately catapulted back in time 100 years with Lola, landing disoriented and discovering we've just been wed. And not only that, but we already have enemies after us! Time travel always makes for a disorienting and twisted story - trying to figure out how to adjust and deal and what happened and what we want to have happen. Lola and Joe are no exception. Joe's got to come to terms with the woman he married who he thought he knew and his own secret demons chasing him, while Lola's got to come to terms with not only figuring out her present but letting go of her past and discovering who she truly is. And then they both have to deal with the growing feelings between each other.

With twists and turns, attitude and laughter, tears and surprises, I adored watching all the puzzle pieces fall together and seeing how it all worked out in the end to deliver a swoony happily-ever-after.

Prodigal Gun by Kathleen Rice Adams

You know those movies where someone opens a forbidden book or door or game and gets sucked into it? Yup, it happened to me! :) One minute I was in 21st century American heartland, settling down on the deck to start a new book, and the next minute I was transported to Texas, 1877, right before a range war really stirred up the dirt. I was not prepared for the intensity of emotions and connection I would encounter while I experienced this story.

Jessie amazed me with her strength, her grit, her loyalty, her faith, and her unending desire to claim hold of her dreams. Mason's sharp-edged presence called to me (just as much as he called to Jessie) and made me want to help him heal and let go of things and grab hold of his deepest desires. He coincidedly melted me and shattered me with every "Mockin'bird" he uttered. These two lived and breathed out their love for each other, although sometimes to the point of frustration. haha!

Prodigal Gun delivers a captivating story filled with love and passion. KRA has this way of using words to bubble and boil and build her world around you, bringing the characters and setting to life. It's a overwhelming journey you don't want to miss out on.

Outlaw Heart by Tanya Hanson

Outlaw Heart shares the sweet story of Bronx and Lila finding themselves, as well as each other, when life looks bleak. Themes of forgiveness, acceptance, and restoration are shared throughout.

Lila has a heart of gold and unconditional love for the outcasts. She also carries multiple heavy burdens given to her by her late husband, all of which she learns to come to terms with. Bronx has a desire to rebuild his life and fix past transgressions, but struggles with feeling lost and overwhelmed. When Lila and Bronx meet, they both struggle with the instant connection, and despite the burdens and worries and fears, still can't help but reach out to each other.

With some help from unlikely sources and some surprises mixed into the multiple uncertainties, Bronx and Lila prove what strength and beauty and faith they have in themselves and each other, delivering a sweet and much deserved happily ever after.

Holt's Gamble by Barbara Ankrum

LOVED this story!!

From beginning to end, the wonder and drama and surprises kept me glued to the pages! Almost everything I love about a HWR was included in this story in such a wonderful way!

I'm quickly becoming a Barbara Ankrum fan!
