Synopsis:

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.

Review:

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.

Until We Kissed by Heather B. Moore

Get Book

Synopsis:

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.
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.

Review:

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.

Road Trip Collection- A Timeless Romance Anthology

Get Book

Synopsis:

From the publisher of the USA TODAY bestselling Timeless Romance Anthology series comes Road Trip Collection... Six contemporary romance novellas from bestselling authors:
What Falling Feels Like by Jolene Betty Perry
Antiques Road Trip by Sarah M. Eden
Wouldn't It Be Nice by Ranee S. Clark
Head Over Heels by Annette Lyon
Two Dozen Roses by Heather B. Moore
Try, Try Again by Aubrey Mace

Review:

I love when Timeless Romance Anthologies do collections of contemporary romance stories. I love road trips and these stories made me want to go on an adventure. These are all very unique but all sweet stories with happily ever after.

What Falling Feels Like was a sweet story about Kendall and Tyler (who is her best friends brother) travel to see Ivy... Tyler's sister and Kendall's best friend. She and Tyler had always been friends but she didn't know what his true feelings were. It was a story of finding yourself so you can give yourself to someone else. It is a quick read that kept me reading page by page to the end because I wanted to see what was going to happen. Loved it! It was very cute.

Antiques Road Trip was a fun and very unique story about a reality tv show. Kelsey loves the 19th Century so it's been a longtime dream to be on this tv show and it finally happened. She got very sick while doing it and her fiance' (as part of the show) took good care of her and was such a gentleman. This was very well written and such a cute idea for a story.

Wouldn't It Be Nice was about Jac who goes on a road trip with some friends and it led to finding love when she had just ended her relationship. She recently broke up with her boyfriend Colin realizing his job would always be the most important. Jac's long time friend Hudson joined the trip and the chemistry was sizzling between the two of them but Jac wanted to make sure to make the right decision for herself. The writing was great and it reminds you that those in your life and relationships are most important. It was very sweet!

Head Over Heels was so much fun! Tristan runs her own singles blog and was at an event in Salt Lake when she meets someone during a speed dating activity and feels a connection but then doesn't have a chance to get to know him more. She is asked to go to Vegas for a new singles event when her friend sets up a ride for her to Vegas when he shows up there he is. Ahh I loved this so much. They were cute and funny together and were pranking her friend when the sparks really started. Loved the story idea and the writing kept you turning the pages. So Cute!

Two Dozen Roses was an adventurous book that made me want to take a road trip up the Pacific Coast Highway. I love that Dayna was going on a road trip with her Mom and along the way they met two brothers that were doing the same trip. Dayna catches the eye of both brothers but of course she only has eyes for one of them and their connection develops at each stop. It was a fun flirty book that you find yourself hoping they can make it work when they get home. It was very well written and is another great novella by Heather.

Try, Try Again is a rom-com that I found myself smiling while I read it. Sarah drags her pregnant best friend on a road trip to Boise, Idaho for a friends, grandpa's funeral. She wanted to see if there was anything there with Justin and the flames are rekindled. I loved her friend, the way it was written and the second chance at love. It was cute, clean story.

Finding Us by Heather B. Moore

Get Book

Synopsis:

Felicity Miner is not normally an anxious person, and she's been on her own since high school. But after a shoplifter steals from her bookshop, she calls the cops/ When Officer Leo Russo shows up, Felicity has to tell herself that just because the romance novel she's neem reading has a hero police officer doesn't mean she needs to protect her imagination onto the real man. Yes, Officer Russo is unexpectedly generous, and he helps make Felicity's home more secure when her worries won't settle down. But the more Felicity is around Officer Russo, the more she imagines a future between them. Is he merely doing his duty, protecting and serving the citizens of Pine Valley, or is there potential for something more?

Review:

I love stories where two very different people meet and sparks fly. This is one of those books. Felicity and Officer Russo meet because there was a shoplifter where Felicity worked and Leo was the on duty officer that showed up on scene. I enjoyed the connection between the two and how they were there for each other especially during difficult family situations. It gives a good lesson on how you need to lean on each other in hard situations and not push away. Relationships are about the two involved and not everyone else. It is another very well written, fun, cute and of course romantic Pine Valley book. It was a wonderful addition to the series. I love how different each of the books are but that they are all full of hope, love and small town living.

Waiting for You by Heather B. Moore

Get Book

Synopsis:

Gwen Robbins loves her job waitressing at the Pine Valley resort restaurant, and as a single woman, she has no trouble turning down any offers of dates from the restaurant patrons. Even when her boss, Seth Owens, shows interest in her, she's not tempted in the least, no matter how strong their attraction.
But when Seth helps her through a crisis,  she begins to see him in a different light. He's not the rich and privileged business owner she first makes him out to be, but a man who's making huge sacrifices to follow his own dreams. As Seth encourages Gwen to mend her own divide with her family, she realizes her heart is slowly opening toward a better future.

Review:

I loved this book about following your dreams, forgiveness, hope and of course love. I was excited to get to read Gwen and Seth's story since we heard a little about them in another book. Gwen is a hardworking, strong willed woman who has family issues and doesn't want to date anyone especially someone who may have money. Seth owns the restaurant that Gwen works at and has noticed Gwen for awhile now and is getting more and more interested. When he follows Gwen out to the parking lot one night and she's upset because she needed to get to the store before it closed Seth stepped right in and helped her with her big project of making cupcakes for the homeless shelter she visits often. The connection between Seth and Gwen is amazing but she keeps him as far away as possible and he just keeps being the nice gentleman that he is. Heather did a fabulous job again! It was very well written and I like how it leaves you with a smile on your face. I love the cover of the book! It's a perfect Summer read since it all starts with a 4th of July crisis. I couldn't wait to read this book because I just love this Pine Valley series and I hope this isn't really the last one! I give the whole series an A+

Synopsis:

Lucy Morley's older sister is perfect, and her younger brother is nearly there, too. Yet Lucy can't even hold down a job, let alone stick with something like college. She drops out and floats from job to job. After yet another disastrous firing, she lands an interview at a bookstore-her dream job-and it doesn't hurt that her new boss, Adam Parks, is pretty much her dream man. But if Lucy is good at one thing, its guarding her personal life and more importantly her heart. Adam has other plans in mind, though, and they include finding a way into Lucy's heart.

Review:

I love Heather's Falling Series that came out last year so I was excited for a new novella. I loved this novella about Lucy who has had many jobs and didn't graduate from college. But little does she know that when she takes a part time job at a bookstore it could change her life forever. She is very kind and has a good heart. It was an extra quick read with great chemistry between the characters. I loved that it took place in a bookstore... I mean who doesn't love books ;)

Say You Love Me by Heather B. Moore

Synopsis:

Clara Benson is not looking for a relationship, especially not after her losing her teaching position, followed by a disastrous breakup with her fiancé, and the sudden death of the grandma who raised her. In fact, Clara picks up and moves to escape her mess of memories. She hopes that Pine Valley will be the perfect place to heal from heartache.
When she meets her boss's lawyer, Dawson Harris, Clara can't deny her attraction. Yet she's determined to choose herself, and her healing, over a guy who might be charming, attractive, and oh, so appealing. Easy, right? But when Dawson becomes the one person who can straighten out her mess, she realizes that finding herself doesn't have to be mean losing Dawson.

Review:

I love this addition to the Pine Valley series. It is a wonderful book about overcoming challenges, heartache and learning to trust again. Clara 's heart was broken by her fiancé and shortly after her grandmother who raised her passed away. Feeling lost Clara moves to Pine Valley hoping to start over. You feel for Clara and all she's been through... I loved her character and how she was true to herself and what she really wanted. She meets Dawson in yoga and little does she know her world will change for the better. I LOVE Dawson! He's been through so much but is also willing to work on himself so that his next relationship isn't like his last. He was so patient, loving and willing to do what he could (like reading romance novels) to connect with and help Clara. I enjoyed their friendship but oh boy sparks were a flying with some great chemistry. This was a great sweet clean romance and I loved the story line. I love the way the series are each their own books but that there are known characters throughout them. I can't wait for the next book to come out.

Where I Belong by Heather B. Moore

Synopsis:

Jane Morris makes a living cleaning the houses of the wealthy residents of Pine Valley, and she tries hard not to judge their extravagant lifestyles. But when one of her clients goes through a devastating breakup with his fiancé, Jane finds herself in the middle of his emotional mess. She wants to help him, but Cameron Vance is a man she could easily lose her heart to. Yet, Jane agrees to be his date to the charity event of the year, organized by Cameron's mother. But the magical night shows Jane that if she's a Cinderella, then Cameron is definitely a candidate for Prince Charming.

Review:

I love real life Cinderella type stories and this one was fabulous. All I can say is thank goodness Cameron broke things off with his fiancé because she was a bit crazy! I couldn't believe some of the things she did like it was no big deal... crazy girl! I loved the interaction Jane and Cameron had... It was so easy because Jane didn't think anything about it because their lives were so different. She was just trying to help Cameron out and little did she know it could turn into something more. I loved both Cameron and Jane's characters and you felt for them in their lives. The way Heather writes makes her books feel so real and that the characters are your friends. I loved all the details in the book. It is cute quick read that I didn't want to put down. I am LOVING these Pine Valley books and can't wait to read the next one!

Review:

I was excited when Heather said she was coming out with some more contemporary romance! This one was great and did not disappoint and to top it off it is a series with two more books coming. Woot Woot! The characters were very well developed. Alicia returned to Pine Valley to care for and help her mother who was struggling in different ways. It was interesting to read about her Mom's issues and how they helped her through it. Alicia works at an upscale restaurant and who comes to the restaurant but the one and only Jeff Finch, who ruined their friendship many years ago in high school. This is a wonderful book about friendship, forgiveness, learning to trust and second chance love. It was a sweet contemporary romance book that kept me turning the pages.  I look forward to reading more books about Pine Valley.

Tangerine Street is a must-see tourist stop with a colorful mix of one-of-a-kind boutiques, unique restaurants, eclectic museums, quaint bookstores, and exclusive bed-and-breakfasts. Delilah's Desserts, situated in the middle of this charming collection of shops and cafes on Tangerine Street, is a bakery that offers a different variety of desserts each day. The emotions that Delilah bakes into these desserts have a strange effect on customers, sometimes altering the course of their lives...

Review:

I loved this book it took me back to when I worked in a dessert café. It brought back many memories... I just wish it was close to the beach and on the touristy destination of Tangerine Street. Such a cute fun place I would love to visit. My mouth watered wanting to try each one of the desserts from the bakery! These books were all unique from an old love reconnecting in part one, an unlikely pair finding each other in part two and a business interview turning into something more. The characters in each story had great chemistry. I loved the way the novella's were written with wonderful details and descriptions. I always love these authors books. This is a cute, fun, and most importantly a clean contemporary romance.

The Duke's Brother by Heather B. Moore

Synopsis:

Mr. Gregory Clark is having an awful day, and it only gets worse when he’s ran over by … a woman. Mabel Russell reluctantly visits her sister in London for the Season, even though she’d rather stay in the country cataloging insects and aphids. When she runs into Mr. Clark, quite literally, she’s afraid to show any interest, especially since he’s a member of the dreaded Ton. But getting to know Mr. Clark becomes an unexpected delight.

Review:

This witty novella is part of one of the Timeless Romance Anthology books and was recently released as a stand alone. I loved it and read it super fast. This is a short and sweet regency type novella so Mabel went to London for the Season. She was not excited to go and went to please her sister. Mabel is way into bugs which I found quite funny because I have never read a book where the girl is in to insects. It made the story line unique and I loved that she was true to herself. That's the best way to be to find true love. Gregory and Mabel are a great fit lets hope they can figure that out...

A Taste of Sun by Heather B. Moore

Synopsis:

Winona Grant embarks on a summer-long visit to NYC to house-sit for her great-aunt after a nasty break-up with her boyfriend Paul. But when her aunt commissions neighbor Steve Monti to tour Winona around, they strike a deal. Winona has too many deadlines to play tourist, and Steve is looking for a distraction from his looming gallery opening. So Steve goes on the tours by himself, and Winona reports back to her aunt as if she'd gone too. The longer this happens, the more Winona wants to change her mind. Seeing the city with Steve might be the perfect solution to forgetting about Paul.

Review:

I've always wanted to go to New York and this book was a fun, quick read that took you there! This book is a part of the Summer in New York Timeless Romance Anthology and then was released as a standalone book. It was just as good reading it the second time around! Winona is visiting New York with plans to stay inside and be her workaholic self but with help from her aunt and her aunt's neighbor, Steve, she sees some of the sites of New York and enjoys the summer sun. Steve & Winona are both busy with work but could use a friend. I enjoyed these characters and how they decided to live life and maybe give love a chance. I loved the connection between the two characters. This is another great book by Heather!

Falling For June by Heather B. Moore

Synopsis:

Once a year, June Dawson goes on vacation with her best friends from high school. When she arrives in Maui, she realizes she's the odd-woman out. With Sydney engaged, and Maria nearly so, June wonders if anyone will ever fall for her. Then June meets Lance, their gorgeous next door bungalow neighbor at the Maui resort, and she's definitely charmed. But after her recent breakup, June refuses to fall for gorgeous, or charming, again.

Review:

I was super excited for the third book in this Falling series to come out. I really like these very quick reads that have a lot of swoon worthy chemistry oozing from the pages. Falling in love in Maui is the last thing June thought would happen. She was excited for her girls trip in Maui and to lay on the beach with her good romance book. With some help from her friends she meets and gets to know Lance, their neighbor at the resort. She thought it may be a vacation fling until she learned how close they live in real life. This is the best summer beach (or pool) read. Major sparks fly between June and Lance leaving you with hope for their happy ending. This is a short and sweet, clean read that you can finish super fast but leaves you satisfied.

A Season in London- Timeless Regency Collection

Synopsis:

Three brand new Regency Romance novellas by Elizabeth Johns, Heather B. Moore, and
Rebecca Connolly.

POOR RELATIONS by Elizabeth Johns
As a 'poor relation,' Emma Standrich has already pre-empted her dismal Season by applying for a governess post. Her aunt and cousin are kind enough to sponsor her, but in truth, Emma is just waiting for it to all be over. Emma's grief over the death of her brother while in military service casts a pallor on everything else in her life. When Colonel Shelton, the man who was her brother's superior, asks her to dance at her first ball. Emma is more surprised than anyone. But she has questions for him, and soon she's caught up in an intrigue she wasn't expecting--both of the heart and the mind.

EDWARD & EMILY by Heather B. Moore
As a second son, Edward Blackwood never anticipated becoming heir to his family estate, or the need to find a wife and secure that inheritance. But with the death of his older brother, Edward is thrust into a life he never wanted. When his mother encourages him to be kind to his long-time neighbor Emily Foster, a girl he'd hardly paid attention to while growing up, Edward realizes that returning home might bot be such a set-back after all.

A SPORTING SEASON by Rebecca Connolly
Daphne Hutchins is no simpering female who aims for a husband with a fortune. In fact, she'd be more than happy to live her life free of the heartache that men seem to bring. So when she sets out to play the fool in front of the ton during her first Season in order to send all eligible men running, she's quite unprepared for James Woodbridge. Bored, but with a sense of family duty, James arrives for the Season, anticipating going through the expected motions befitting any gentleman. What he isn't prepared for is Daphne Hutchins and the way she completely upends his heart.

Review:

I don't normally pick to read regency romance but I was given an advanced copy of this book to read and review and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I don't think I could have lived at this time. I probably wouldn't have wanted to follow all the different rules and way of life.

I enjoyed Elizabeth Johns book. It was very detailed, clean and you felt the emotions from each of the characters. It was a page turner and it was a little suspenseful in a section of the book. I loved how it ended. It leaves you smiling and very happy for Emma and her cousin Jane.

Heather Moore's story was a cute love story about Edward and Emily that knew each other when they were young and after losing family members have come together. I loved that they became friends through writing letters and grew to love each other. They were very supportive of each other's hidden hobbies and talents which added some fun scenes. The book was clean, cute, and detailed. It was a fun read.

Rebecca Connolly is a new author for me and I enjoyed her witty writing. Daphne had been hurt before and her parents wanted her to go to London for a Season so she went (not very willingly.) While there she caused many scenes and attracted a gentleman that thought her antics were humorous but when she needed someone the most he was there. It was funny and sometimes you find yourself wanting to whip Daphne into shape. :)

Falling for Maria by Heather B. Moore

Synopsis:

At twenty-six, Maria is holding out for the perfect man to share the rest of her life with. Josh seems to be that man, but after months of dating, their relationship is at a stand-still. Maria plans to nudge Josh forward, but when the company she works for is bought out, her new boss Walker seems determined to change Maria's idea of the perfect man.

Review:

This is another fun, fast-paced novella. Maria is a business woman with spunk and wants to be able to wear and be who she wants. Her work was bought out and a lot more rules were put into place that she didn't like. The new boss, Walker, comes to train and discuss the new policies with the company. Maria stands up for what she wants and thinks, and of course that catches the eye of the new boss. She soon finds herself having feelings for the new boss. I quite liked this short and sweet novella. The characters were developed well, they had great chemistry and I didn't want to put it down. 

Stars: 4.5

An Ocean Away by Heather B. Moore

Synopsis:

Gina Graydon knows the last thing she'll attract on her holiday in France is an eligible bachelor. Tall, outspoken, and with a weakness for laughing at the wrong moment, not to mention being much too occupied with reading gothic romances, Gina decides she'd rather live in her fictional world. Besides, the only man who pays attention to her at the resort hotel happens to be her father's worst enemy. And that is far from romantic. Reading in a secluded garden, and dreaming about the perfect kiss, all keep Gina much too busy to consider Mr. Edmund Donaldson any sort of hero.

Review:

Gina loves to read romance novels (hmmm sounds like me) and while she is visiting Paris with her parents she sneaks out of her room to read in the garden (can't say as I've done that though.:)) While in the garden she is spotted by a handsome gentleman who can't take his eyes off of her and wonders why she is sneaking around. They meet and she realizes nothing could happen because her father is in a lawsuit with this gentleman and her father does not like him. It was a very quick, sweet, and clean read. I liked that it was about Americans in Paris. I loved their chemistry and I finished the book with a smile on my face.

Stars: 4.5

Falling for Sydney by Heather B. Moore

Synopsis:

Sydney has been the perfect friend, the perfect daughter, and Rian checks off on her perfect fiance list. But when Sydney notices a strange truck parked in her fiance's parking spot, she's in for the surprise of her life. Not only is Rian not who she thought he was, but his brother Jake is about to turn her life upside down.

My Review:

I love novella's for my busy life when I just have time for something short and sweet. This one was very quick and went by too fast. I really enjoyed this book but I do wish it was longer. I can't imagine being Sydney and being blindsided by your fiance. I'm so glad he became an ex before he became her husband! I love how Jake, the brother, stepped in to help Sydney and to be there for her so she wasn't too lost. I liked the story line and wish that you got to see Jake and Sydney's friendship/relationship grow... it all happened so fast. They did have good chemistry though. I liked this book and look forward to the other books in the series.
