I'm structure. She's chaos. I'm practicality. She's spontaneity. She's off-limits. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will happen between us.
Jack Cooper’s a devoted single dad, just trying to make it through the morning without burning breakfast. His life is all about lists and rules and boundaries.
Meanwhile, I’m a shameless free spirit looking for signs from the universe.
And Jack? He's my sign all right…and he's flippin’ hot. Like total package, scream-his-name-while-biting-a-pillow hot.
But he's sworn off dating. And we're total opposites.
The last thing I want is to further complicate his life.
So what if I melt a little every time he smiles? Who cares if I have a thing for dark hair and blue eyes that caress my body when he looks at me?
All right, so I can’t stop fantasizing about the guy and completely adore his kids. It's not like that should stop me from trying to help the guy out...right?
Anyone read the first chapter with Amelia and automatically think of Phoebe from Friends? That is who I envisioned while reading. She was funny and free spirited while also beautiful. She was exactly what Jack needed to help with his wild bunch. Jack is struggling at this single dad thing, he just needs some direction. Who knew that a woman that introduces his family to herbs and essential oils would be the one to calm them. It was an amazing read and I enjoyed every word of it.
Meet Abby Brooks
Abby Brooks is a romance author who lives with the love her life and their three kids in a small town in Ohio.
She loves dancing in the kitchen, laughing with people she loves, and reading way too late into the night.
As a divorced single father, I live by three rules: 1. Make sure every day my daughter, Paisley, knows she’s number one in my life. No. Matter. What. 2. Keep contact with my cheating ex-wife to a minimum. 3. Turn Maxwell Wineries into a legacy that keeps Paisley set for life.
When I hire Lexi to look after my daughter, I realize I need another rule: don’t pursue Paisley’s nanny. But even if I had that rule it wouldn’t matter. Because I'm breaking it already.
Oh my these two had my heart melting. They were so sweet with each other. The build up to their relationship was perfect. They both have so much heart and soul. I loved the passion that was shared between them. It was such a good story.
Meet Layla Hagen
Welcome! My name is Layla Hagen and I am a Contemporary Romance author.
I fell in love with books when I was nine years old, and my love affair with stories continues even now, many years later. I write romantic stories and can't wait to share them with the world. And I drink coffee. Lots of it :-D
This series gets better and better. I cannot express how much I love Lil Cooper Stone. His heart on his sleeve, his life dedicated to his family, and being clueless about the love of his life being right in front of him. Erika is a little older than Cooper and took him under her wing when he was signed. She guided him to do well in hockey and all around. She became his right hand man. I loved how these two just synced together and knew what the other needed. I loved how Erika was there for him and backed off when she thought he needed a minute. I loved how he needed her opinion to move forward with a decision and how much he took her thoughts into consideration. These two are couple goals. I cannot wait for more from Mrs. Madison.

It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...

New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels returns to Willow Creek Valley in this stunning surprise baby/unrequited love romance.
I was totally over Joshua Parkerson.
Sure, I had a teenage crush on him way back when--and everyone knew it--but he never saw me as anything but his little brother's friend, the girl who got tongue-tied any time he walked into a room.
I had long ago accepted the fact that his strong arms would never hold me, his lush lips would never claim mine, and his blue eyes would never see me as anything more than who I used to be.
But now he's back in Willow Creek Valley, and there's a brand-new spark between us--even he can't fight it. Our chemistry is explosive, and every time we're together, I swear I can feel the earth shake.
It doesn't mean anything... how could it? I'm over him.
Until I see that little pink plus sign, and the earth stops turning completely.
Now I want it all again, a life with him. But Joshua built walls around his heart for a reason, and his secrets haunt him.
How can I show him that the ghosts of his past don't have to define our new family's future?

Review: Delia and Joshua's story was a fun read. They had so much history yet so much to discover about each other. This story broke my heart, I knew I was going to cry especially as emotional Stella's story was for us. Delia is a strong woman that just wants to be loved. Joshua is a dumb man who thinks he just isn't good enough but eventually finds that being good enough isn't the issue, the issue is being there for the ones that love you. There was so much love felt in this story.

With one phone call, Colt's life turned completely upside down, inside out, backwards, spiraled out of control... however you want to say it.
He was used to life not going as planned, but this little detour changed his life forever and completely terrified him. But he didn't have time to dwell on the fact he was now this toddler's one and only parent.
His little niece Poppy needed him and he was determined not to fail her.
But life continued to throw curve balls.
While trying to learn his new normal, Layla, his first and only love, breezed back into his life. That might have excited him, but he hadn't counted on the fact that she'd changed over the years.
Gone was the girl he fell in love with, replaced with someone he could barely stand to be around.
Colt didn't have time to deal with a snobby, bitter grump when he had a farm to run and a toddler to raise.
She may still be the most gorgeous woman he'd ever laid eyes on, but to him, beauty was about more than what was on the surface.
The problem was, he was starting to wonder if the new Layla wasn't really who she was.
He tried to resist her but sometimes love is never really over.
Colt and Layla's story is just sad at times. They both just tried to do what was best for the other and ended up with broken hearts. Colt ends up becoming a dad in the middle of all this heart break and must grow up quickly to take care of a child. Layla comes back and finds that the small town she felt suffocated her actually might be just what she needed. These two have so many issues to go through before they can make life happy. It was a sweet story and I enjoyed it.
Conversation continues around us, but all I see is Layla. For the first time in over a dozen years, I wish my friends weren’t around.
I could pull her out of her chair and onto my lap. She’d feel my hardening erection and I wouldn’t care because she’s the one who did it to me. I’d reach up and thread my fingers through her hair, keeping it away from her beautiful face, and pull her lips to mine.
From that moment on, we would simply exist as one.
“Colt,” she whispers, her voice a lustful combination of turned on and scared. I know the feeling.
“Yeah, baby?”
She makes a noise in the back of her throat. “Oh, shit, you called me baby. I can’t handle this.”
“Sorry. Am I overstepping?” I ask, reluctantly removing my hand from her.
“No! It’s just,” she drops her head, shaking it back and forth, “I never thought…”
“Never thought what?”
Layla’s eyes never leave mine as if she’s hoping she can still read right through me. She probably can, and maybe I should be worried about that but I’m really not. If Natalie’s death taught me anything, it’s that life is short. Yeah, I was hurt. Tim pulled me aside earlier and said point blank that I had only two choices. Either get over it because life isn’t meant to be lived holding a grudge, or live alone the rest of my life and likely have to watch her eventually with another man. He’d understood the hurt, hell, he was the first one here after she left so he saw the destruction from the beginning. The other man part isn’t what changed my mind. It was the holding a grudge part.
Natalie would have kicked my ass if she’d still been here when Layla came back. She always told me we’d find our way back, our path just didn’t look like I’d originally thought it would. And maybe that’s part of why I was holding onto that hurt. Because my plan was changed.
“I never thought we’d be able to even consider getting back to this.”
“Are you considering it?” I ask her, even though I know the answer. I need to hear it from her lips.
She watches me closely. “I am. Might be stupid, but it goes beyond consideration straight into hope. I’m hoping for this.”
I smile and give her neck a little squeeze. “I’m right there with you.”

My life has been a rollercoaster ride, consisting of both wonderful and horrifying moments. I was a child when Nico found me, resulting in my adoption by a woman who raised me alongside the Mayson children. They became my best friends and life was good until tragedy struck and I ran off to join the military. When I came home, everyone welcomed me with open arms. I was at an all-time low, drowning in my dark thoughts, unsure how to go on, until love saved me.
Rose:
Being on the run with a small child hasn't been easy. I thought we’d finally discovered our safe haven in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. A relationship was the last thing on my mind, then I met Robert Kent, a wounded hero inside and out. While I tried to resist him, doing so was impossible, as if something greater than ourselves wanted us together. Our respective pasts made us kindred souls. When mine comes for me, I pray we're strong enough to survive it.
Until Love is part of the Aurora Rose Reynolds's Happily Ever Alpha World. If you loved Until Sage, then you will want to read Until Love.
I absolutely loved this story. Robert is broken and trying to figure out a new life. A life away from the demands of the military. Rose is running from a man that could destroy her and Posie's whole world. These two mend each other. Robert's relationship with Posie melted my heart. This story had it all and I loved every word of it.
