Kelsie Rae just gets better and better each time. I read one book and think it can’t get any better yet she somehow pulls it off. Anthony, the newest novel, does not disappoint. Anthony is down in the dumps when he meets pink haired Sway.
The two become friends. The more time they spend together the more Anthony feels a real spark for Sway. He just has to break down her walls.
These books would be great to watch on tv…like a Hallmark series Well done Kelsie, well done!

So, after reading Rhett, I wasn’t really expecting to like Anthony, he really was kind of an idiot in the past… That being said, I love him and Sway. Talk about seeming opposites, but he really needed a fresh start, and he found one with a crazy cat lady/veterinarian and a cat with an attitude in Jasper.
Anthony had only had Indie in his past, he was all about the relationship deal, while Sway had a secret she really held onto throughout the book that kept her moving from nonrelationship to nonrelationship. Obviously there’s going to be issues due to these obvious pasts, but the question as always is can they learn to trust each other and learn to communicate…
Anthony’s priorities have always been about working hard, being the best and making money but he failed to realize there is more to life then that. He neglected and took for granted the other things in his life. Just when everything seems to be going wrong one of his mistakes ends up leading to a second chance.
From the beginning Anthony and Sway have this comfortable way with each other. They just click.
The two quickly become friends.
Together they help each other heal and figure out what they truly want in the process.
I adored the two and all of Sway’s family. Their story was really sweet and definitely warmed my heart.
Great story with heartwarming feels and romance with amazing main characters ( Anthony and Sway ). You first met Anthony in Rhett and now he’s back in his own story. Without giving anything away, his and Sway’s romance has alot of feels, romance, drama, angst, twists and passion. I liked Sway and her sassy, sweet and independent ways. It hides the broken parts to her soul. Tony is the man who can heal her just as she can heal him but what happens when the past comes rearing it’s ugly self? Can they each heal the other and in the process get the HEA they’ve been waiting for?
My Rating: 4.4 stars ******
Kelsie Rae has a way of inviting the reader into the story with her writing, and holding your heart hostage. Anthony is a heart-warming, second chance romance you won’t soon forget!
I love Anthony’s story. I’ve read this series from the very first book and it is amazing. They are the best light-hearted reads!
She is a veterinarian who also fosters cats n finds their forever homes. He is temporarily unemployed n has to do community service hours for the damages he did while driving drunk. It was amazing read their relationship is so good

I could not wait for Anthony’s story and it did not disappoint.
Anthony wrecked me. He was so sad and so vulnerable. He needed to be handled so carefully. As mad as I was when he ignored Indie nothing prepared me for how this book made me feel for him.
Sway is an amazing person and she may be the one to make him whole again. Her family is fantastic and I loved every interaction with them.
I loved the whole darn book.
I like how Sway took the Anthony as we knew him and turned him on his axis. Obviously Anthony wasn’t right for Indie, but I didn’t think he was a bad guy. I think his priorities were misguided. Cats aren’t my favorite, but I think they made me fall a little more in love with them here. They made Sway and Anthony more playful and loving. Their chemistry made the steamy times fun to read. I loved that they were able to not only work together, but they were able to play, laugh, and enjoy life together.
My new favorite book by Kelsie! Anthony is so lovable and Sway breaks my heart. They deserve so much happiness and I loved every word!
Each and every time I see a new release for this lovely author I can’t help but get giddy with excitement. You know it’s going to be something that tugs at your soul and makes you swoon like you’ve never swooned before.
Sway is a woman after my own heart, she has so much heart for others it makes you melt to witness. The build up of the revelation about her past had my stomach in knots of few times. (Hitting a little close to home that made me uneasy.) The pain she has endured is something you never want anyone to feel. But even with all the pain she doesn’t let it effect most of her life she lets it inspire her; push her to have the life that makes her the happiest when she doesn’t think it exists.
Anthony seemed like the dumbass businessman who got his heart broken and didn’t care who he hurt in the process of not dealing with his own pain. The fact that he is one man at the beginning and then transforms is completely sexy as hell to watch. I know Sway was struck dumb but oh fuck did he seem drool worthy sexy even from my imagination.
I freaking loved this whole idea of saving cats, the cattery is just about my favorite thing I’ve read! At the beginning I disliked Anthony but I was being judgmental and annoyed at the way he was being. I understood he was hurt but it seemed to turn dark real quick with him and I worried for what was to come. I never expected this spitfire of a woman with pink hair to swoop in and not only knock me on my ass but also Anthony. I can’t wait to read the next one!!!
Proof that the right person at the right time will make love work. Anthony’s life is spiraling out of control, and he drives through Sway’s sign while he’s intoxicated. Part of his sentence is community service hours at her house/vet clinic/cat foster home. Sway’s a wild child, complete with pink hair and crazy colors in her home. Something happened in her past that broke her, and she’s completely uninterested in relationships.She begins to break down his walls, in her attempt to understand what happened to him and try to be a friend. That backfires, though, as her walls begin to crumble as well. She just can’t reveal her biggest secret to him. I love this book – it’s my first read from this author, and won’t be the last. The characters are terrific together, and her family is a hoot!

I’m always so excited when a new book comes out from Kelsie Rae! She never disappoints! We’ve meet Anthony before in this series in his old like. Making bad choices leads him to meet the “crazy cat lady”, Swayze. She is fun, loving and enough to help Anthony get on with his life. As they work with these lovable felines, their relationship grows. It was such a fun read! I finally began to like and then love Anthony!!!!!
I wondered how I would feel about this story because Anthony frustrated me so much in the last book. That being said, I appreciate how he grew up and found himself and what he was missing after he met Swayze. She is funny and colorful and full of life, but she also has this vulnerable standoffish side. She has an underlying pain that she lets block her chance at having a forever love. I adore Sway’s sisters and her parents. I am not a cat person and I even fell in love with her crazy kitties.
This couple has outstanding chemistry and such an easy banter that is so comfortable.
But a secret Sway is hiding brings everything to a devastating halt. These two have to figure out how not to crash and burn because they are meant to be! You need to read this book for Jasper, spontaneous adventures and their “lucky charm” Clover alone. Kelsie Rae, you have this way of making me fall in love with your characters even the strays!
Anthony is book 7 in Kelsie Rae’s Signature Sweethearts series but can be read as a standalone.
This love story is about two damaged characters finding themselves so that they can find true love and happiness in life.
The way the author tells Anthony and Sway’s story pulls you in and keeps you turning the pages. For me, it was a fast read but one that I very much enjoyed.
If you haven’t read any books by author Kelsie Rae, get this one now. Then read all the rest too because you won’t want to stop.
Omg this book was so good!! It wasn’t at all steamy but I didn’t miss it one bit. The chemistry between Sway and Anthony was incredible! I found myself cheesing a lot while reading this. The characters are so lovable and the plot so realistic. Not once was I annoyed by their decisions because everything that happened made sense. It was funny, swoon worthy, entertaining and sweet. I loved this so so much.
Read it. Now.

Anthony is the 8th book in Kelsie Rae’s Signature Sweethearts Series. I will remind you that each book is a stand alone so don’t be afraid to dig in because you don’t want to start another series. I will say that this is a series that you will want to start because if you don’t, you will miss out on some of my all-time favorite characters. I actually didn’t dive into the series until book 3 and liked it so much….well, here is am in book 8 still loving it.
We first met Anthony “Tony” when he was dating Indie Peterson in the book Rhett. To be perfectly honest, he was a terrible boyfriend. Tony and Indie had been together for 13 years and she dumped him because she was tired…tired of being ignored, his workaholic habits, sleeping alone, canceled plans, being taken for granted, and fighting. He definitely was not my favorite character but there was a point in the book when he stepped up and acted like a decent human being and then….we never found out what happened to Anthony until now.
We find Anthony miserable. He has lost his girlfriend, his job, and is aimlessly traveling around the country searching for a fresh start (with alcohol as his passenger) when a DUI in New Hampshire changes his life. The judge as assigned Anthony to community service for a nonprofit…the one whose sign he destroyed the night he hit it with his car. The final blow to his confidence comes with a phone call from his mother…India is married. She’s moved on and found the love of her life leaving him alone, forgotten, broken, unloveable.
Sway owns a cat sanctuary. Yep, insert crazy cat lady down to the pink hair and 29 cats living in her cattery. (Insert, asthma attack for me.) She collects strays and cats who have outstayed their welcome at animal shelters so Anthony fits right in. Sway could teach Anthony a couple of things: to be himself; not care what others think; stop overthinking things, and to do what he wants when he wants to it. But first, Anthony has to open up and stop lying to himself.
Sway is my hero (except for the cat stuff…dog girl here)! She has such a unique, quirky personality and she is exactly what Anthony needed! I didn’t think that it was possible for me to love Anthony after his performance in Rhett but I do. Kelsie Rae excels in developing characters that you love and cheer for. I can’t wait to see what is coming next!
My rating – 5 out of 5 propellers!! Don’t miss this book and you don’t have to read Rhett first but I would.
If you love a sweet romance full of all the good feels than Anthony is the perfect story for you! This is now my favorite book in the Signature Sweetheart series!
Anthony has made some mistakes and his last one leaves him at the doorstep of the crazy cat lady named Sway with the purple hair. Right from the beginning these two characters have an ease and comfort about them as they get to know each other, become friends and decide that their mutual attraction is worth pursuing.
When Anthony first shows up he is in need of some healing and who would have thought that taking care of a bunch of cats who are also feeling a bit lost and in need would help him find peace, but it is the friendship and bond that he is building with Sway that has opened up his heart again. He just has to break down her walls, get her to open up to him so she can heal too and he can show her that what they have together is the real deal.
Anthony and Sway meet after he has made some really bad decisions. His longtime girlfriend broke up with him for another guy and now he is serving community service where he meets the happy go lucky cat lady Sway. They both are not looking for a relationship just some fun for the moment but the more time they spend together the more their hearts change. Lovely book with broken opposite people who find their other half.
