I'm not usually one to be attracted to the color yellow. It's just not been one of my favorites. In recent years, however, there have been several of my favorite covers featuring this color, and so that has started to change.
And THIS cover, specifically - WHEW!
I really love it!!
What do you think?
Y'all know Jessica is one of my favorite authors & I've pretty much gushed about all her stories in these series! : ) This one's coming January 11th. So you have time to check out the other books in the series if you haven't read them yet!

Redemption, Tennessee held nothing but painful memories that Lark Ashton had no desire to rehash. After the only man she’s ever loved crushed her soul and spirit, and all her friends turned their backs on her, she swore to herself she’d never go back. But when her aunt calls, asking a favor she can’t possibly refuse, Lark finds herself public enemy number one . . . again
Clay Morrison has spent seven years trying to convince himself he’s no longer in love with Lark Ashton. But when the woman he thinks betrayed him and his family returns, she brings with her a whole slew of feelings he’s worked hard to ignore. Now he can’t get the bane of his existence out of his head.
She’s in desperate need of a job. He can’t resist the chance to have her at his mercy.

2020 - what a strange year! I started a new job in August 2019, and was just feeling like I was getting into the groove of it when the new year started. And then - BAM! A pandemic. States started trying to close non-essential businesses, and no one was sure what was going on. Warehouses that had closed for the holidays decided to stay closed a bit longer. And then at the end of March, my company furloughed the entire office for two weeks - which turned into two months - and four months - and now I've been furloughed nearly all of 2020.
There have definitely been struggles with this, but I'm feeling SO BLESSED. To have (*prays*) stayed healthy so far other than my hip flare ups. To have been able to spend time with my family every week. And, the important part as far as this blog is concerned - SO MANY GREAT READS!!!
I'm starting Post 1 on December 1st, and hoping to give you a few posts through the month, to give you a recap of some of my favorite reads this year. I'll highlight some new-to-me authors, some excellent covers, stories that made me FEEL - joy, pain, but most importantly love. : )
Let's get started!!
Susan Stoker, Aurora Rose Reynolds, Devney Perry, and Winter Travers have been favorites for several years. Automatic pre-order! They each usually put out several books a year, and I'm always chomping at the bit for new ones. They're also fabulous for re-reading!!
Darlene Tallman was a new-to-me author this year, and Poseidon's Lady started my journey to binge reading a lot of her backlist! Her MC books have a lot of heart & sense of family that makes me happy.
Joy Blood is another new-to-me author this year, and I really enjoyed Brood & Show. Her MC books are a little darker/violent than I normally go for, so I haven't gotten into her backlist, but do want to continue w/ this series. : )
Sara Ney - I've been following her on Instagram for a couple years. She, Amy Daws, & Meghan Quinn did this quirky little "crash a wedding" thing & they were all SO MUCH FUN to watch, I had to follow. She has a few series that aren't really my cup of tea for one reason or another, but her latest series is a favorite. Hard Fall is my favorite of the 3 currently out, and I'm looking forward to he next installment in 2021!
Smitten by Lauren Rowe! This book is swoony goodness & is a definite reread! The banter in this story was off the charts, and the whole read made me happy!
Have you read any out of this group? I'd love to know your thoughts - or some of your top 2020 reads!
TTFN!
: )
This is the finale of the SWAT 2.0 series & it was a fun, fantastic read!!
I've loved the whole series, although I admit some of them made me want to punch the characters a bit (& I'm not really violent. Or know how to punch properly...LOL)! I just love the writing & connections & LOVE & HEAs. : )
(I apologize for the pictures below - technical difficulties, so I'm just using screen shots of my LLV shelf on my Kindle! LOL)
My Review:
Ah, the mysterious Saint! His & Carolina's story was a great way to end this series! I loved their interactions & how well they "got" each other.
It was also fun to see everyone together for the Christmas White Elephant exchange. Shenanigans, of course, ensued! ; )
Sweet, steamy, intriguing - I enjoyed this one a lot!!
: )
Have you read this series? Or LLV in general?
Let me know your thoughts!
TTFN!

YES!
It's that time - time for new words from Jessica Prince! Y'all know this is another favorite author & this series is one of the best small town full of Alphas & strong heroines series! ; )
My Review:
Cheers to Micah & Hayden! This was a fantastic & enjoyable story from page 1. I really loved both our main characters - and Ivy, and Sylvia. Micah is alpha, growly goodness - once he stakes his claim, look out! Things move fast! And Hayden ... she doesn't just let Micah railroad her. She has lots of sass which she has inherited from her great aunt, and passed down to her daughter. Ivy & Sylvia are a RIOT! Ivy's got a little bit of hustler in her. *grin*
We get to catch up w/ the Hope Valley crew. We get to laugh & gasp & tear up & did I mention laugh? I love the friendships Hayden forms w/ the other women in this community.
There's a bit of drama, some steam, and all of the beautiful writing that makes Hope Valley a place I hope we get to visit over & over again well into the future!!

Y'all!
I am SUPER excited to gush about this story!
LLV is one of my favorite, binge-worthy authors. I was a little late to the game - I was blessed to meet her at a signing, but hadn't really READ anything by her at that time. So I didn't quite gush as much as I will if/when I'm ever blessed to do so again. (Will we get to have signings in 2021?!?! I'm hopeful!) So, it was even some time after THAT that I read Boomtown, and then binged ... and binged ... For a while, every time I got a giftcard for Amazon, I bought as many of her books as I could. And, more than once, I bought myself a GC to use because I needed more of her worlds!
And now she's an automatic pre-order for me. :D
So! This story!
My Review:
Whew! I LOVE Malachi & Sierra! Their story starts out as pen pals, and each chapter starts out w/ a letter to one or the other, which I adored. This is a slow burn w/ lots of interesting twists & a sense of rightness w/ these two. There are also quite a few family moments, LOLs, and some emotional punches that worked well in the story line.
One of my favorites!!
