I am so glad I was able to read this collection!

The writing draws you in and keeps you involved throughout the whole of each story. I found myself in love with not only the characters, but also the worlds that were created.

Great character development with enough of the everyday grind to really be able to sink into each and every book.

*** Reviewing “HER SMOKIN’ FIREFIGHTER” ***
Vaughan’s mother begged her to come meet her new family – her mother’s 8th marriage – and meet Derek and his children, spending the 4th of July celebration with them in Colorado. Grudgingly she agreed and stayed at a hotel when she intentionally arrived a day early. She met her childhood best friend at a restaurant and Kelly invites her for drinks and dancing to have some fun. Vaughan can’t keep her eyes off the handsome blond with dark eyes sitting at the end of the bar.

Firefighter Callum was renovating his house and ended up having to move in with his dad temporarily. He went to the bar for a distraction, and he thinks he may have found one! When Vaughan’s friend has to leave, he sits next to her and they get to know each other. She tells him she doesn’t have time for anything serious, her job is her life, and her hotel is down the block! Then she leads him out of the bar.

This night was to be a one-time thing. And yet each is feeling that they want it to be more – and it scared them to feel that way. Vaughan slipped into the bathroom, telling Callum to show himself out. But instead, he follows her in and they enjoy each other again. He carries her to her bed afterward and is startled at the thought he has as he looks at her – for the first time, he doesn’t want to leave! He lies down beside her and they begin to kiss. This time when he woke up, he hurriedly dressed and left.

Vaughan went to the address her mom gave her. She was told to pick a room upstairs while her mother finished with breakfast preparation. She stepped out of the bathroom, freshly showered, and dropped the towel as she stepped into the bedroom and walked into a hard-muscled chest. Oh no… he can’t be! But he pushed her up against the wall and showed her last night was much more than a one-night stand and their present situation really had no bearing on that.

When he went to shower, she ran out and joined the family downstairs. Her new step-father was an older version of Callum. He hugged her and made her feel welcome. When Callum joined them, she wasn’t surprised that he chose the chair right next to her. Derek, a doctor, offered to put in a good word for her at the hospital if she wanted to move home and resume an ER nurse job like her current one. But she said she loved where she was and it would take something very special to come back home – her eyes immediately went to Callum! Were they willing to pursue a relationship together? Would the family accept that situation? Would she come back to Colorado? But things are never that easy.

This was a wonderful book, with a great story line and outstanding characters! Callum was one of a kind! Poor Vaughan never stood a chance of resisting him because his personality would melt an iceberg! The story was actually fun and surprisingly comfortable, none of the ‘ick’ factor for some reason. But what will their future hold? Would they go their separate ways instead of choosing the uncomfortable path they would inevitably have to face?

*** Reviewing “SPRING BREAK SECRET BABY” ***
Lacey handed Jacob to her mom as she joined Bryony and Cherry inside the taxi, heading off for a Spring Break celebration. They were a bit older than most revelers, but Bryony insisted on a few days away in Florida. As Lacey offered to go get drinks for her friends, rummaging through her purse for money, she walks right into a man – one she has not seen for TEN years! Wes had to handle an emergency, so Lacey returned to her friends with their drinks and excused herself to go back to the room.

In high school, Wes and Lacey had waited until Prom night to go to a hotel and celebrate their feelings for each other at last. It was special for both of them. But Wes disappeared from her life the next day! He was afraid to face her again. She had not changed much over the 10 years, her hair, eyes, and curves everything he had remembered or imagined. She had left the pool area, but her friends were there and he stopped to see what they were planning for the evening. Would he be able to convince her to give them another try? Would he tell her the truth of why he had to leave as he did back then? And would she tell him her own secret?

The mystery of why Wes disappeared at 18 was intriguing enough to hook the reader from the start. Meeting up with Lacey added another dimension to the story line as the reader knows the secret she may try to keep from him. Will they get back together?

*** Reviewing “SOMETHING BORROWED” ***
Bryony is a wedding planner, gifting her services to her big brother’s event! It had been 10 years ago since Bryony’s brother’s best friend, Freddie, made a huge mistake choosing to walk out of Bryony’s life. Afraid that if he loved her and pursued a relationship, his friendship with her big brother would be destroyed, he chose to give her up. Betrayed, she decided that love and marriage were not for her anymore. It just wasn’t worth the risk of a devastating broken heart.

She knew Freddie was to be the best man at her brother’s wedding. But Bryony gets dragged in at the last minute as maid-of-honor when the pregnant maid-of-honor’s doctor tells her she cannot fly there with her condition so unstable! The drama queen bride was not willing to compromise in any way on her plans, so Bryony had no choice.

This time around, the 18-year-old boy who let his fears make him walk out on the woman he loved is now a grown man who wants a second chance to make things right. He will have his work cut out for him since Bryony is not willing to let him hurt her like before. Seeing him again makes her determination waver as she feels those old feelings still exist. Only the fear of going through that pain again holds her back. Will Freddie be able to show her that he is ready to love her now and give her the life they both deserve? Or will she be the one who now lets her fears force her to turn and run? Can she trust him this time around?
