Hello!!! My love for a good clean book has not changed but man life got busy for the last few years and now I'm back! I started a small business, I have my hair business, I have a calling in my church and best of all I'm busy with my little family. We added a little one in 2019 and this year my twins are in first grade. Life is wonderful and clean romance is still my break from reality. A long with cute clean romance books... I have a love for clean family friendly movies so I've decided that along with my reviews on books I will be adding my thoughts on the tv original movies I watch. I am excited for all the fun books and movies in my future. <3Breehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03936823936030297130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013177964296362275.post-90063574894455042302019-07-05T19:54:00.000-07:002019-07-05T19:54:03.908-07:00The Dancing Groom by Taylor Hart<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Synopsis:<br />
<br />
A football player who trying to save his brother! A dancer who's trying to forget her past! Will they save each other?<br />
Boston Brady, running back for the Miami Surf, only wanted three things from his month at a beach resort- to take care of his brother, train for football, and forget his ex-girlfriend! When he is suckered into taking dance classes by his brother, he never expected to get stuck with the one woman he'd accidentally infuriated upon arriving.<br />
The beautiful and talented Addison Adair, former coach from Dancing With the Stars only wants two things-a spot on Jive International, a prestigious dance company, and to erase the pain and loneliness of losing her husband. When her dance partner falls through and Boston Brady agrees to fill in, and she suddenly finds her world turned upside down. He's intense and gives the Brady Guarantee that she'll get that spot-no matter what!<br />
After long days of training, dips in the ocean at night, and an attraction for the football player that scares her, she finds herself getting lost in those blue eyes and lost in the kindness of the man she didn't think was possible and isn't sure she's ready for.<br />
Just when Boston's family has an emergency, a dark part of his past shows up, derailing her audition. Now they're left with a choice-believe the worst and walk away, or believe in the power of second chances.<br />
<br />
Review:<br />
<br />
I was excited to read this one because I am a big fan of dancing and beaches so this book sounded like a win! I am loving this Brady family. They are all such tough guys but deep down they are great guys who are there for each other and those around them. Boston is struggling with some things in life and agrees to a beach vacation with Ty and to his surprise it turned out a lot differently than he planned. Addison is a dancer trying to make it again after the death of her husband and she never would have guessed where her path would take her. Boston enjoys dancing and helps Addison to prepare for her audition and planned to dance with her. I loved this book and it was a beautiful story about learning to trust. The characters had great chemistry and it was a sweet clean romance.<br />

<br />
Review:<br />
<br />
This was a fun short and sweet novella that was witty and drew you in from the beginning. Jessica and Dallen have a great connection from a distance and you can't wait for them to finally meet in person at their friends wedding. The characters seemed very real and I loved the humor in this book. I loved the storyline and it left me wanting to read more. I love Melanie's books and once again it was another great one! Super Cute!<br />

Review:<br />
<br />
I am loving this series because I love to travel and Lisa puts such great details in to her books that you feel like you are there experiencing what the characters are experiencing. I loved this one because I have been to Paris and Versailles so I loved knowing some of what they were experiencing in France. This is about two people who's lives needed a vacation even though they didn't really want it. I loved Camille's character and Tristan's character and I was cheering them on from the start. They had great chemistry and a lot in common. Mrs. Chan though... Lisa did a great job of making me not like her. This was a great book about being honest with each other and not letting gossip change the way you think of someone. This was a very sweet and clean contemporary romance book. Loved it!<br />

Synopsis:<br />
<br />
One kiss is all they need to go from friends to lovers. Who will cross the line first?<br />
Maddie regrets putting Connor in the friendzone by kissing another man. Her chance at redemption comes when she's hired as a makeup artist on a film in London, Connor's city. All she needs to do is apologize, and coax him across the friendship line--if Connor still wants her.<br />
Connor should've moved on from Maddie when she made it clear she wasn't interested in a relationship with a stuffy British banker. With her arrival in London, Connor plans to make the most of his second chance. But his secrets will either win her heart or drive her back across the Atlantic for good.<br />
<br />
Review:<br />
<br />
First off I love the cover and the clever title. So cute! I have never been to London and with the amazing descriptions it felt like you were exploring London too. It is a standalone novel but you have met Maddie and Connor before if you've read <a href="https://breesbookbreak.blogspot.com/2017/06/12-days-to-love-by-lisa-swinton.html">12 Days to Love</a> and I love that their story continued. Maddie got a job on a movie in London and was excited to spend time with her friend Connor. I love Connor! Everything he did and planned for Maddie was so sweet. I loved the characters, the writing was fabulous and the chemistry was oooo la la! I was so bummed towards the end but I am so happy about how it ended. I know I've said it before but I love books about friends becoming lovers. Such a cute book!<br />

When Eric's neighbor, Allie, asks him for help with her new dating challenge, he's reluctant to get involved. Mostly because he'd really like Allie to fall in love with him. She's determined to finish out her dating challenge, but he's a veterinarian. And V is at the end of the alphabet.<br />
Can Eric persuade Allie to abandon the list and see him as something more than just her best friend?<br />
<br />
Review:<br />
<br />
This was such a sweet novella. Allie is challenged to spice up her dating life by dating guys with 26 different careers. I loved the idea of that but man that would be tough to accomplish. Allie's friend/ neighbor helps her find dates for the first few but, oh boy, they were gems... all because his feelings for her was more than friends. I love stories about friends becoming lovers! Their story was so cute and I loved how they treated each other. It was very well written and made me excited for more books by this new author.<br />

Synopsis:<br />
<br />
A hot football player and a bet- what more could you want for Valentine's day?<br />
Ziggy Brady, center for the Denver Storm, doesn't expect to dance with the woman who broke his heart ten years ago. But a bet issued by the owner of the Storm, is the catalyst for asking her. He certainly can't believe she slaps him, and he really doesn't know what to do when she throws in his face the fact her boyfriend is proposing later that night. The truth, is that Sophia Charles will always be his biggest regret.<br />
Sophia Charles doesn't want to dance with Ziggy Brady at a fundraiser, but his brother has ALS and she actually likes Ty. Ziggy, on the other hand, has serious ego issues and the media doesn't help them by calling him Aquaman. When Ziggy shows up at her office asking her to go on a 'bucket list' trip for Ty to help create awareness and raise money to find a cure for ALS, she reluctantly agrees.<br />
The No Regrets Tour consists of: driving cross country in a Retro RV, visiting an old Prison, staying at a Haunted Mansion, rafting the Snake River, and putting Graffiti Art on Devil's Tower- which will most-likely land them in jail.<br />
Sophia and Ziggy find themselves unable to stay away from one another. When Ty confesses to writing a bogus break up letter from Ziggy to Sophia ten years ago, all the reasons they should stay away from one another melt away. And they find themselves, laughing and talking and kissing and catching up for all the time they missed out on.<br />
When Ty has a break down and the tour comes to a halt, they must make a choice--walk away from it all or forgive and have No Regrets!<br />

Review:<br />
<br />
I am loving these books about the Brady Brother's. I love how they come off as such strong-willed and kind of full of themselves yet deep down there is a softer side of them. They are trying to raise money for ASL and to help their brother Ty so they are setting out on a "no regrets tour." This is Ty's idea and there are some crazy things he would like to do. Ziggy goes along with Ty along with a long time friend Sophia and when some truth comes out things get turned upside down. I loved this book and the twists and turns that happen. It was a great book about love, family and forgiveness. The chemistry between Ziggy and Sophia is magical and the love between the family members is heartwarming. It was well written and I loved the characters. It draws you in to the end and leaves you smiling! I'm excited to read about the next brother and his crazy life.<br />

<br />
I sure love me a sweet holiday romance story and this one was just that! This is a cute quick read, filled with descriptions and info to help you know exactly what you needed to. Chase and Clare haven't seen each other for years and thought any kind of relationship was lost. When they happen to see each other while Clare was home for Christmas the sparks were still there. This short story was well written and I definitely enjoyed!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Shawn Halstrom has an assignment: travel to Atlanta, Georgia to investigate the Heart of Atlanta refugee center so that Burke Enterprises can make a donation. The job should take two weeks tops, but he wasn't planning on falling for a Cuban refugee named Carolina Diaz. She's a single mother who isn't interested in dating, even if the guy might be a billionaire.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When work pairs the unlikely duo together, Shawn and Carolina see a different side to each other and the world. Carolina's son, Daniel, captures Shawn's heart and the possibilities for a different future unfold. But when the refugee center where Carolina works faces closure, the two must decide if they are strong enough to work through the difficulties ahead and if love is a risk they're willing to take.</div>

Review:<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed this book because it had a different storyline than I had read before. Carolina is a single Mom who moved here from Cuba as a refugee and has now tried so hard to make a good life for she and her son. Shawn works for Burke Enterprises and came to Atlanta to do research of the refugee center so they can make a donation. As Carolina and Shawn work together the unlikely couple have a strong connection and the chemistry is undeniable. This was well written and kept me interested in what was going to happen with their relationship and the center. It was a quick read filled with hope, love, and swoony romance. I enjoyed how they worked together so that they could help others too. It was a heartwarming contemporary romance novella. </div>

Synopsis:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dax Brady, quarterback for the Texas Titans, only wants to be left alone after losing the championship game to go on his annual fishing trip. He doesn't want to attend a Bachelor Auction, he doesn't want to deal with his family issues, and he really doesn't want to be forced into working with some woman who clearly doesn't know how to help him.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sky Brooks only came back to Dallas to collect the money her father left for her after he passed a year ago. Too bad the man in charge of the trust won't let her have it--unless she agreed to take on one last patient--Dax Brady. Pfft! What is she supposed to do with a cocky football player who keeps telling her to take her he doesn't need help?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When Dax and Sky end up in Puerto Rico doing 'untraditional' therapy in the form of building houses for Hurricane victims, Dax is surprised that Sky isn't like any other woman he's ever known. When finds himself pouring out his heart to her, he's even more surprised, when she shares some of her own secrets. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When the past comes back to haunt them, they are left with a choice--give up on forgiveness or let love conquer all.</div>

Review:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You get pulled right into this sweet romance from the first meeting in the office. Dax is the quarterback of the Texas Titans who has a lot going on in his life and to stay the quarterback the coach would like him to see a therapist. Sky is the therapist that is given the job to try and help Dax. It is pretty hopeless and Dax doesn't want her trying her "voodoo" on him so instead of giving up Sky takes him to Puerto Rico to help rebuild after the hurricane. They end up being exactly what the other needs to help them though their life trials. I love each of these characters and their strong personalities. The chemistry between the two was so strong that even though they were not going to cave you could feel how caring each of them were. Dax comes from a family with lots of brothers and he is a twin. I love reading stories about twins since I have twin boys and I hope my boys never go through a situation like Dax and his twin because it will make my momma heart sad. I loved this story of forgiveness and healing and being there for your family and those around you. </div>

Synopsis:<br />
<br />
When Maurie Ledbetter moves back to her hometown to open her dream shop, she calls a local construction crew for help. Former teenage crush Grant Shelton shows up on her front porch, answering the call for the construction job. Seeing Grant again brings back Maurie's memories of her troubled childhood, and she doesn't know if spending time around Grant is the best way to move on. But when she discovers Grant has gone through difficulties of his own, Maurie realizes that he might be the key to her own healing.<br />
<br />
Review:<br />
<br />
Maurie came back to Pine Valley to start over after a rough childhood growing up in this small town. She was taken away by bad choices made by her mother and was raised in foster care. She came back stronger and ready to take on the world. I love her strength and her willingness to face her past so she can make the best life for her. Grant is a single dad living life by not getting attached to anyone. When Grant shows up on Maurie's door step to look at her home for renovations all the memories come back and little did they know their life was going to be forever changed. This was such a sweet story about overcoming trials, being you and love. I love the theme that everyone has trials and has gone through hard things and that doesn't have to define you. This was very well written and you feel like these people could be your friends in your everyday life. Their chemistry was amazing and all those sweet kisses make you smile. I love these books and how they are their own stories but the characters make appearances throughout the series. Pine Valley is such a cute small town that I wish it was a tv show! I sure hope there are more Pine Valley Novels to come.<br />

<b>Truth or Dare</b> is a novella about life's challenges and that if you let people into your lives they can help you have hope and happiness.

<br />
<b>First and Last Christmas Date</b> is a funny Christmas novella about two friends who went on a terrible first date and then didn't go out again for ten years! And once again their date was quite the adventure but oh boy did the sparks fly. There were so many mishaps that occurred on their date that you found yourself hoping things get worked out quick. It was a fun quick read. 4<br />

Synopsis:<br />
<br />
When Filipe Romano arrives at the SoliMar beach resort, his newest acquisition, he plans to complete renovations quickly before moving on to his next property. But a stumbling block arises when he discovers Celeste, the sister of his deceased best friend, is an employee at the resort's aquarium, which he intends to sell. To complicate matters more, he has unresolved feelings for Celeste and blames himself for the accident that killed her brother.<br />
Celeste Ferreira, a stressed single mom, needs a miracle. Without any means to start over, she clings to the job she loves as aquarist at the SoliMar Aquarium. After she discovers the new owner is Filipe, an old family friend, their history makes it hard for Celeste to trust him, especially with her position in peril. Though closing down the aquarium makes good financial sense, Filipe finds himself reluctant to disappoint Celeste and decides to help her with the repairs for the upcoming inspection. But is working side by side enough to forget the past and build a new future, or is the pain between them too deep to move on?<br />
<br />
Review:<br />
<br />
I love the Romano Family and all their stories so this one was no exception! I loved this story of second chance love for Filipe Romano and didn't want to put it down. Filipe is getting ready to open his beach resort and wants to finalize the selling of the aquarium when... there she was Celeste the girl he walked away from years ago. Celeste and Filipe run into each other occasionally and easily fell back into a friendship thanks to her son Lucas. Filipe is just what Lucas needs and I love their connection. The relationship that develops was a connection that was lost many years ago but the love never was. Oooo lala there were some butterflies in your stomach kisses. This was such a sweet story of hope, forgiveness and love. I loved the book and I loved how it ended!<br />

Review:<br />
<br />
Whoa!!! Talk about an intense book! Hawk brother Bridger finally gets his own book and man was it full of CRAZY adventure! Avalyn has always loved Bridger Hawk from a far knowing he would never choose her knowing his womanizing past. Little does Avalyn know he has always loved her too! A so called "friend" of Bridger kidnaps he and Avalyn and forces them to take part in some life-threatening crazy challenges. Wow these extreme challenges are wild and had me scared for them too! This book was filled with suspense and swoony clean romance and had me hooked to the very end. And speaking of the end...not what I was expecting! It was very well written and I loved the characters. Definitely a great read!<br />

Review:<br />
<br />
I love that these books are all together now. They were all released in the Echo Ridge Anthologies but having all of Rachelle's Echo Ridge books in one place is so great. These were all very different but all take place in the same small town so it brings them all together. They were all quick sweet and very well written.

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Now that he's back in touch, Juliet must decide whether she will say yes. If this is just a one-time thing, she risks carrying a torch for him for another decade.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a funny Christmas novella about two friends who went on a terrible first date and then didn't go out again for ten years! And once again their date was quite the adventure but oh boy did the sparks fly. There were so many mishaps that occurred on their date that you found yourself hoping things get worked out quick because it was a bit much. It was a quick read and they finally got their happily ever after so that was good! I liked it but wasn't crazy about it.</div>

Synopsis:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hailey Walsh has always loved Christmas, and this year the holiday was supposed to be the most magical of all, spent with her large family and her fiancé in preparation for their wedding just two days after. Then Gage broke their engagement. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now instead of playing in the snow with her nieces and nephews, Hailey's building a playground with children she's never met before, spending her Christmas with strangers in Hawaii, on a service program she hopes will lift her spirits and help her begin to pick up the broken pieces of her life and heart. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Gage Stevens didn't want to spend Christmas in Hawaii any more than he wanted to break his engagement, but sometimes fate has a way of slamming a guy against a wall and forcing him to tough decisions- for the good of others, be that his ex-fiancé or his mom. And while he's certain that no ocean breeze or tropical wonderland can heal what's wrong, one glimpse at a familiar head of red hair and Gage realized fate may not be done with him yet.<br />

Review:<br />
<br />
Wow this book was very different than the other clean romance books I've read recently. This book was full of love, kindness, hope, trials, and tears. I loved that it took place in Hawaii... who doesn't dream of going to Hawaii and during the holidays definitely sounds like a dream. Hailey's life came crashing down so she headed to Hawaii to get her mind off what is going on. When she got there she was able to serve and help so many different people in many ways. This was a perfect Christmas story of giving of yourself and when you do that you can find happiness. This is a very well written book and I loved each of the characters and the way they were developed. This was a very sweet heartwarming story that left you feeling good and wanting to "light the world."<br />

Synopsis:<br />
<br />
Anika Fletcher hates Christmas--its promises of good tidings and hope for the future are a tinseled as the ornaments on Kenworth's Hope Tree. Despite her feelings, Anika wants to maintain her daughter's faith in the magic of the season and gladly accepts a second job working with the handsome Carlos Rodriguez to restore Kenworth's old fashioned soda fountain. Carlos is no stranger to hard times and slowly shares his life of light and joy with Anika as they work together. Just as her fragile soul begins to feel hope again, an ill-timed act of charity changes everything. Anika isn't sure who she can trust or if hope is worth nurturing-- especially at Christmas when it's easy to enjoy a kiss and believe love can last longer than the season.<br />
<br />
Review:<br />
<br />
This is a sweet story of a hard working single mom who wants to give her daughter a magical Christmas but they are struggling to make ends meet. Anika works hard at her job and meets Carlos who is a kind man who seems to be around when she needs him but she doesn't trust anyone. Carlos is a gentleman and I love how he treats Anika and her daughter. I found myself hoping Anika would see his kind heart. It has quite the ending and you hope that it will all work out.This was a well written cute story that puts you in the holiday spirit. This is a perfect Christmas story about faith, family, hard work, love, and of course Hope!<br />

Synopsis:<br />
<br />
When Charley gets sent by her father to appraise a mansion full of antiques, she gets a surprise when she arrives and the owner is cold and mean, and doesn't want anything to do with Christmas. And even worse? It's not really an appraisal job at all. He just wants her to clean out his mountain of junk from his garage. But Charley makes it her goal to show him that Christmas is a special time of year. And as time goes on, she sees his frozen heart start to thaw.<br />
Alexander has been dealing with the guilt from his wife's death for two long years. It's time to move past, so he hires someone to help rid his garage of his wife's memories. But when she arrives, she's not at all what he was expecting. And even though she's a bit crazy, she helps him find his Christmas spirit once again.<br />

Review:<br />
<br />
I LOVED this fun, sweet and of course clean Christmas book! I lost sleep over reading this book... I could not put it down and read it way in to the wee hours of the night. I just wanted to know what was going to happen. I knew I loved Charley's character when she had silly holiday socks on... I LOVE holiday socks and have so many of them and wear them all year round! Charley was quirky and young but a hard worker especially when it was not what she thought she would be doing. Alexander was a grump who needed a little Charley quirkiness and Christmas magic in his life... he just didn't know it until she arrived. I love how she was young and innocent and just did and said what she thought instead of worrying about much. The connection that forms and the sparks that fly with some steamy kisses was a bonus. I loved all the characters, the storyline and the details throughout the book. It was a heart warming romance and I found myself laughing out loud a time or two.<br />

Synopsis:<br />
<br />
Pine Valley librarian Livvy Harmon has big dreams, which include marrying Dr. Slade McKinney. Trouble is he's only kissed her once in their four months of dating, and it wasn't all that great. But Livvy isn't ready to give up yet on hooking such an amazing man, even though Slade seems to have time for everyone but her.<br />
When Livvy keeps running into writer Mason Rowe, who seems to be camping out in her library to finish his book under strict orders from his agent, Livvy at first keeps him at arm's length. But the more their friendship grows, the more she finds that her dream relationship with her doctor boyfriend isn't so dreamy after all.<br />
<br />
Review:<br />
<br />
Such a cute book! Livvy's big dream has always been to marry a doctor and she currently is dating one but as I continued reading I disliked him more and more. Ewe! She is always on the back burner and Livvy is a cute librarian who has a lot to give and she deserves someone who wants to spend time with her and thinks the world of her. Mason Rowe is a famous author who hasn't written in awhile so he escapes to Pine Valley to write and meets the cute librarian and her weird boyfriend. I love how Mason stuck up for Livvy and helped her. She realizes with his actions that she deserves so much more and maybe she could forget about her dream and create a new one. I love their friendship that forms. Their chemistry was undeniable and the steamy kisses in the library were just melting the pages with the sparks that were flying. I loved this idea of a book loving librarian falling in love with a famous author. Of course we all know I love the town of Pine Valley and this series is just so cute. I loved experiencing Pine Valley in winter it was so magical.<br />

Synopsis:<br />
<br />
How much would you bet on true love this Christmas season?<br />
After the worst year of his life, Cameron Cruz, owner of the Denver Storm, agrees to a family Christmas cruise with his twin sister and her family. Sure maybe part of the reason he agreed to go was because it got him out of court mandated therapy for a week. Still he was trying to focus on relaxing. He was trying to focus on having fun. He was trying not to look at the reports that came everyday from the private investigator's he'd been hiring and firing for the past year to bring justice to the man who killed his wife.<br />
Isabel Kind was only on this Christmas cruise for one reason-to heal. After tragically losing her husband and son five years ago, she'd been stuck. And she and her therapist thought doing the list of excursions they'd planned to do as a family-might help her move on. When she sprains her ankle and Cameron Cruz offers to help, she finds herself accepting.<br />
After reluctantly getting piggy backed by the amazingly strong and handsome man, swimming with the sting rays, and zip lining through the Honduran jungles, she is more and more mystified by this troubled man. Even more mystified that he's not only helping her physically but he's also trying to help her emotionally-even if, as he says, he can't heal himself.<br />
When bad news comes to light and Cameron has to face the past, they are left with a choice-walk away or let the power of grace make them whole.<br />

Review:<br />
<br />
This book draws you in from the very beginning. Man that Prologue is a tear jerker you're so happy but then so sad leaving you very intrigued for the rest of the book. This was a captivating book about tragedy, grief, forgiveness and healing. Cameron's sister talks him in to going on a cruise for Christmas. A very reluctant Cameron comes along even though he has too much to do back home. Little did he know it would be the perfect thing to help with the beginning of his forgiveness and healing. I love the bond of friendship that forms between Isabel and Cameron and that they are their for each other understanding a little of what each other are dealing with. I like their teasing and deep caring for each other. This was a great book that leaves you with a happy heart. I love that this is a great representation that there can be hope and love through hard times and that you don't have to go through trials alone. I wish there was more Christmas to it because I love me some Christmas but I definitely enjoyed it!<br />

Synopsis:<br />
<br />
The handsome and kind, Mike Hamilton, doesn't want to go back to his hometown, Snow Valley, to attend his sister's wedding and spend Christmas, especially since he didn't tell anyone he got dumped two weeks ago. So when he discovers a girl standing on a roof praying, running to the top to join her doesn't feel that desperate. Too bad they both fall and she accuses him of trying to kill her.<br />
Aspiring singer and songwriter, Zoey Harper, doesn't know who this guy is-- but she doesn't need his help. When he offers to pay her to be his FAKE girlfriend to get him out of a little situation, she immediately says no. But when she finds herself without a job, without a car, and with no money to go try out for The Voice and fulfill a life-long dream, she agrees! But ONLY kissing. And only pecks on the cheek!<br />
She doesn't know how she finds herself making out with him to keep his ex girlfriend at bay, then cannon balling into the hot springs on his property and spilling all of her secrets. And who would have guessed that her favorite person would be his grumpy grandpa? Her lonely heart doesn't know when things started to change between she and Mike-- when he ran up on the roof to save her or when she finds herself singing a song for him in front of his whole family.<br />
When their lies fall apart, they are left with a choice--forget the past five days or get the Christmas miracle that could change their lives forever.<br />

Review:<br />
<br />
Going back to Snow Valley is always a treat especially at Christmas time! I love all the fun things the town does during Christmas time and gets you right into the spirit of the holidays. Mike & Zoey meet in very odd circumstances and I'm so glad Mike found her even though she wanted nothing to do with him. Zoey is very feisty and as the story goes on oh man you just feel for this poor girl and her rough challenges in her life. This may have started as a paid gig for Zoey so she can audition for The Voice but little did she know it was going to open her eyes to something special. I loved that Zoey got to experience a Snow Valley Christmas and feel the love of a family. Mike needed Zoey more than he ever knew and she helped guide his life back to where it belonged. I loved their connection and of course their steamy kisses...oo la la. I loved all the characters and the way they were written and described. I loved this sweet Christmas romance!<br />

Synopsis:<br />
<br />
When Laney Richins left Echo Ridge, New York eight years ago, she vowed she'd never return, but life had other plans. Those plans included her cute little boy and a divorce, so Laney moved back home and started over. Working in the flower shop seems like the perfect plan until Billy Redford, the man she should have married shows up.<br />
Billy Redford's heart was broken when his high school sweetheart turned her back on him and fled Echo Ridge for the big city lights. Running into Laney in Echo Ridge now brings up past feelings he thought were long gone. She's prettier than ever, still seems to read his mind, and despite his protests ends up on the building and decorating committee with him for the Homecoming dance. Billy knows how to build just about anything, but he isn't sure he knows how to mend a broken heart.<br />
<br />
Review:<br />
<br />
Yay for another Echo Ridge Romance. I have loved each of the stories that Echo Ridge is a part of. I love that little town and wish I could visit it some day ;) This is a great clean story about forgiveness and second chances. Billy lives and runs his own business in Echo Ridge when he runs in to the girl that got away. Laney has moved back after a divorce and has a child and Billy doesn't want to see her. They get put on the same homecoming committee for the High School which forces them to be around each other. Forgiveness is expressed and sparks fly. I loved the characters and the storyline. It was well written and I very much enjoyed it!<br />

This Christmas Eve a lady's maid, Claire Walden, plans to attend for the first time, but when Mrs. Fielding's grandson shows up unexpectedly the dance may take a different turn. Edmund is a gentleman of the upper class, but with a questionable background. When he shows an interest in Claire, she doesn't want to risk her heart, but over time, Claire comes to know Edmund. As the Christmas Eve ball approaches, Claire wonders if love might be able to cross the lines of servants and high society. If she saves a dance for Edmund, will he steal her heart forever?</div>

Review:<br />
<br />
This was such a heart warming Christmas story about including and loving those around you. Claire has worked for Mrs. Fielding for years and Mrs. Fielding loves and treats her like family. A gentleman named Edmund comes to the house and treats Claire like she is the only person around. I love their connection that develops. I'm not usually a fan of historical or Victorian type books but this one drew me right in and I loved it. It is a very sweet wholesome read. It is a short novelette that was very well written and puts you in the holiday spirit.</div>
