Sunshine and Sammy by Melanie Moreland is now live!
Luke Adler lives for his ranch. It’s the only reason he agreed to get on board with his sister’s grand plan for guests staying on the property.
Nothing prepares him for the force of nature that is Samantha Morrison. When she arrives on his ranch to help construct this new part of his business, what he expects and what he gets are two entirely different things.
He expects a no-nonsense businessman. Straightforward and simple.
What he gets is a sunshine smile, sweet sass, and a woman who pushes every button and boundary he has.
He tries to ignore the draw, the urges she makes him feel. But when she gets close, he only wants her closer.
She makes him question his decisions, his thoughts, and the idea that being alone is best for him.
Even when they are consumed by the fire between them, he knows they come from two different worlds and he has to let her go.
But when the time comes, can he do that? Can he live without her sunshine to warm his cold heart? Or can this cowboy learn a new trick?
Author’s Note: Heat and heart fills the pages as our heroine learns to ride a horse and tame a grumpy cowboy in rural Alberta.

I generally love all of Melanie Moreland’s characters but for a lot of Sunshine and Sammy I wanted her to forget about Luke… bad I know, but he was so hot and cold that I didn’t think he deserved her!!!
Samantha was a great character. Forging her own way in life, she was really talented and in work was doing something that she loved. She was happy and thought she had everything she needed… as far as she was concerned she wasn’t meant for a relationship.
Luke worked hard, had a lot to deal with when it came to the ranch he lived and worked on, had been hurt in love before and held on fiercely to the bitterness that it had left. He was determined that he didn’t need anyone in his life and for a while saw Sammy as an inconvenience and a bit of a threat to everything he held dear..
Rachel, his sister, thankfully was a bit more forward thinking and it was because of her that Sammy ended up on the ranch trying to help them improve their business. Honestly, Luke was so damned stubborn that even knowing if things didn’t change they could lose everything that he held dear he still fought to cling to the status quo. This guy did not like change.
Luke and Sammy sparked from the first meeting. Their bickering was like foreplay and the longer it went on the higher the tension ramped up until things exploded. Seriously, this pair had scorching chemistry and when they did start to get to know each other you just knew that they’d be perfect together.
I liked that the location of the story was away from the family, an while we caught up with some of them, I enjoyed the fact that the main character got to spend time together without all of Sammy’s family around.
When Luke finally sorted himself out that made for fun reading and I was glad that he could see that both he and Sammy deserved to be happy….. but by then had he done too much damage to be able to repair things?
I love this series and I can’t wait to see what Ms Melanie brings us next!!

My Scorned Best Friend by Piper Rayne is now live!
Xavier and Clara kissing in a tree…
When your best friend growing up is a girl, that’s the song your classmates taunt you with over and over again. But it was never like that… until now.
It’s always been Clara and me. She’s the only one who truly knows me. After I was drafted into the NFL and ended up the starting quarterback for the San Francisco Kingsmen, I begged her to come with me. But she had her own life and responsibilities back in our small Alaskan town, so I didn’t fault her for staying.
We remained the best of friends despite the distance. I’d hang with her in Alaska during the off season, and she’d visit me in California while I was playing. Then, one night the lines blurred for the briefest of moments and set in motion a series of events that changed everything.
I’m not proud of the decisions I made after that fateful night, and I plan on making amends, because I need Clara back in my life. But not as my best friend—as my everything.

The Dealmaker by Jessica Peterson is now live!
Hating and dating: I didn’t realize they’re two sides of the same coin until I met him. Theo Morgan.
One of Wall Street’s highest-paid traders, he may be hot as sin in his five-thousand-dollar custom-made suit. But Theo is the bane of my existence. He’s arrogant, rude, and as brash as they come.
As our bank’s newest star hire, he’s also after the same promotion I am. But I didn’t make it this far in a man’s world just to be passed over for an entitled egomaniac. Two can play at this game.
In a surprise to exactly no one, Theo and I butt heads from the beginning–and end up losing my biggest client with a trade gone bad. Our boss’s punishment: fly us to California together to make nice with the client—or else.
When a snowstorm back home leaves us stranded on the West Coast, we learn our hotel is fully booked, save for one room.
And of course that room would have only one king-sized bed. After a little too much wine, our deal to stick to opposite sides of that bed goes out the window. But on the flight home, my resolve to keep things professional remains intact, until Theo offers me a new deal.
The gloves (and clothes) can come off. But the lipstick stays on…

I though Stefano was great after reading his book but once I was finished Shifting Gears, Brett is definitely up there as probably my favourite of the Reynolds Restoration guys.
My heart hurt for Brett for how he felt every time Kelly left and now that he hadn’t seen her for a while and was trying to get over her I started out not sure I wanted them to get together.
He’s a great main character. Part of the family of choice that Max and Charley have surrounded themselves with, he was loyal, protective, hard working and had a great heart. I totally understood why he felt the need to distance himself from Kelly when she returned but then he learned about her past, how she grew up and what brought her back to town and all bets were off…..
Kelly…. To be honest I wasn’t her biggest fan when we met her previously in the series and I’d have been ok with Brett staying away from her (then there wouldn’t have been a story I suppose!!) but when we actually got a glimpse of the ‘real her’ under the façade she hid behind I fell for her nearly as much as I did for Brett. There was a lot of strength to her character but the gods, she was so independent, closed off and such a stubborn woman at times that asking for help was not something she did easily. When she finally did it was like she fully saw what she had been missing or avoiding…. and for that I was glad.
This pair were perfect together. They had such a connection and spark but that aside Brett was the support and strength that let Kelly just ‘be’… For him, Kelly was the future, if he could get her to stay in one place for any length of time.
I loved the family dynamics in this story. Seeing Brett and his dad together, then you add in Stefano and his family, Maxx and Charley and their gang it was great to see just what support and love Kelly and Brett had surrounding them. We got a little glimpse at who’s gonna be falling next and lordy that was a funny initial meeting.
Melanie Moreland is an auto-buy author for me and the Reynolds Restoration series is a definite favourite of mine.
An all round 5* read that I’d recommend checking out.

Following Maggie was an absolutely charming read. I loved both Maggie and Sebastian… two lost and lonely people, not quite sure where life is leading them who meet in an airport in the middle of a snowstorm.
What could have been a fleeting, once in a lifetime meeting turns into quite something else when they both take a leap of faith.
I was captivated by the relationship that grew between the main characters. The family of choice that they built were wonderful and characters that I would like to know IRL.
In Following Maggie, Melanie gave us the kind of read that is good for the heart and soul. An engaging story, a little drama – though not between the MCs – lots of love and romance, a great sense of family and of belonging and a whole lot of heat.
I read Maggie & Sebastian’s story in one sitting, I didn’t want to put my kin down and I couldn’t wait to see how things played out for them.
A definite recommended read, whether you are already acquainted with MM’s books or are new to her work.

She’s five years old and looks just like me with her daddy’s eyes.
And her father has no idea she exists.
Not by design. While I’ve had a string of crappy exes, he wasn’t actually one of them. Just a one night stand, a big oops, and no way to find him again when I discovered what happened six weeks later.
But now fate or luck has brought us together again. I’m headed to New York for fashion week to showcase my newest line and Noah ends up next to me in a bar, the former high school football star turned GM of New York’s football team.
He’s hot as ever, and so is our spark.
But I’ve been burned before. And what he doesn’t know can’t hurt anyone. Right?

Stefano Borelli was quite something… the talented mechanic was a truly great character and I so wanted him to find his happy ever after, especially when he watched his boss and saw how happy and settled he was.
Dependable, loyal, protective and family oriented, Stefano was perfect for Gabby. His reaction to her on their first meeting was twofold…. He was happy to help a strangers, as that was just who he was, but it was the spark that lit inside him and the fact he couldn’t stop thinking about her that made him realise she was gonna be important.
I understood her hesitation when it came to the idea that he was interested in her, especially when we discovered where her concerns stemmed from, but all I wished for was her to see that this guy was exactly what he showed her and for her to take a little leap of faith when it came to him. The fact that she was a single mom, with an absolutely adorable little boy definitely added to her hesitation but Theo had no such reservations when it came to the big mechanic and I adored how open and happy he was when it came to Stefano and the rest of the guys at Reynolds Restorations.
I loved the development of their relationship, even when things weren’t quite working out to Stefano’s plans. Having a family, of both blood and choice who were there to help him sort through his feelings and take care of Gabby and Theo kept him from giving up hope when the determined woman thought she was doing the right thing……..
Catching up with Charley and Maxx, meeting the Borelli family (especially Stefano’s mom) and finding out there seems to be something going on between Brett and Charley’s friend rounded out the story so well.
Breaking The Speed Limit was a great read and I’m really looking forward to the next book in the series.
