TURBULENT INTENTIONS (BILLIONAIRE AVIATORS) BY MELODY ANNE
Release Date: August 9, 2016
SYNOPSIS
The Armstrong brothers are wealthy, wild-at-heart bad boys—until their father’s will demands they prove themselves and marry in order to inherit their fortune.
Eldest brother Cooper channels his reckless spirit into becoming CEO of his own airline. The only thing better than the adrenaline rush of flying is his one-night stand with a stunning stranger. At first he doesn’t recognize the fiery barista he clashes with years later at an airport coffee shop. But when Stormy Halifax turns up as his new house sitter,
Cooper knows she’s his Cinderella. And he doesn’t just want her in his mansion. He wants her back in his bed.
Stormy can’t believe she’s living under Cooper’s roof. Gorgeous and arrogant, he’s convinced she’ll surrender again—and he’s right. But just as Stormy is succumbing to a world of pleasure, her trust is shattered. And the biggest challenge Cooper has ever faced will be proving he wants Stormy, now and forever, for all the right reasons.

REVIEW: TURBULENT INTENTIONS (BILLIONAIRE AVIATORS) BY MELODY ANNE
Turbulent Intentions by Melody Anne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
There are no strangers in a Melody Anne story. She takes the theory oF six degrees of separation to heart. Whether friends, family or acquaintances there is a link that connects her writing and sometimes it's so subtle, it's easy to overlook. Turbulent Intentions proves that. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. The theme of love as a unifying force is often used but I enjoyed how a random meeting rippled though the lives of two people and changed them for the better. With a gentle push from a familiar friend and a little help from an age old romance, Turbulent Intentions is as adorable as it is emotional. A feel good story.

Close to You by Kristen Proby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
ARC Review: Close To You (Fusion) by Kristen Proby
For Landon it took almost a lifetime to discover what Cami had admitted to at a young age. That falling in love is confusing, heartbreaking and worth all the drama in the end. I received an ARC of Close to You by Kristen Proby in exchange for an honest review. The second chance plot line is not that surprising in romance. It's been done before, quite often in fact. However, Camilla was the spark that drew me to this novel. Her undying love for the boy who captured her heart at age five and held it throughout youth, adulthood, distance and his blind ignorance made for a great payoff. Close to You has sentiment, brass and whole lot class added to the teasing allure.

WANTING IT ALL (A NAKED MEN NOVEL) BY CHRISTI BARTH
Release Date: August 9, 2016
SYNOPSIS
In the follow-up to Risking It All, hailed by Lauren Layne as “the perfect escapist read,” the heartthrobs of the Naked Men blog and podcast get a little too real about friendship, love, and sex. For one wealthy bachelor, the trouble starts when all three collide. . . .
After narrowly surviving a bus crash in high school with his best friends, science geek Knox Davis resolved to become so successful that he could have anything and everything he wants. Now he’s über-wealthy, a huge business success, and a notorious ladies’ man. Knox refuses to limit himself to one woman, but when his latest conquest—a blond beauty from the Alaskan bush—challenges his superficial ways, Knox begins to see the world through her eyes, and finds he likes what he sees.
A nurturer at heart, Madison Abbott wants to put down roots. She left Alaska to meet Mr. Right—and to track down Logan, the half-brother she’s never met. Instead, she finds Knox. Although the sexy-as-sin bachelor may not seem like marriage material, Madison’s starting to think that Knox is The One. But Knox refuses to settle down, especially once he learns that Madison is his best friend’s little sister. Now it’s up to her to convince Knox that she’s everything he really wants.

FAMILY TREE BY SUSAN WIGGS
Release Date: August 9, 2016
SYNOPSIS
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a powerful, emotionally complex story of love, loss, the pain of the past—and the promise of the future.
Sometimes the greatest dream starts with the smallest element. A single cell, joining with another. And then dividing. And just like that, the world changes. Annie Harlow knows how lucky she is. The producer of a popular television cooking show, she loves her handsome husband and the beautiful Los Angeles home they share. And now, she’s pregnant with their first child. But in an instant, her life is shattered. And when Annie awakes from a yearlong coma, she discovers that time isn’t the only thing she’s lost.
Grieving and wounded, Annie retreats to her old family home in Switchback, Vermont, a maple farm generations old. There, surrounded by her free-spirited brother, their divorced mother, and four young nieces and nephews, Annie slowly emerges into a world she left behind years ago: the town where she grew up, the people she knew before, the high-school boyfriend turned judge. And with the discovery of a cookbook her grandmother wrote in the distant past, Annie unearths an age-old mystery that might prove the salvation of the family farm.
Family Tree is the story of one woman’s triumph over betrayal, and how she eventually comes to terms with her past. It is the story of joys unrealized and opportunities regained. Complex, clear-eyed and big-hearted, funny, sad, and wise, it is a novel to cherish and to remember.

REVIEW: FAMILY TREE BY SUSAN WIGGS
Family Tree: A Novel by Susan Wiggs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The first time I picked up a Susan Wiggs novel: I was nineteen and saw a copy of The Charm School at the book store. Something just called out to me and I knew that I had to read it. From there I read The Horsemaster's Daughter and got hooked on Ms. Wiggs. Her ability to find beauty in the most adverse of circumstances draws me back every time.Family Tree is the latest in a long line of novels that will break the heart and give readers a look at the positives in a situation that tests the boundaries of one's strength. Annie had it all, but in one second she lost a lifetime of memories and is left picking up the pieces of her broken life. With the help of a wise woman and the fortitude to take a chance, Annie learns that life is what you make it. Over twenty years and Susan Wiggs can still deliver stories that I love to read.

SYNOPSIS
A sassy, sexy, laugh-out-loud rom-com between the hottest man never to be tamed and the woman crazy enough to try
SHE WANTS TO CHANGE THE WORLD.
Taylor Reed is no stranger to selfish, uncaring CEOs. She was fired by one, which is why she has created her own executive training program—helping heartless bosses become more human. So Taylor shocks even herself when she agrees to coach Bennett Wade, the cutthroat exec who got her unceremoniously canned. She’d love to slam the door in his annoying but very handsome face, but the customers aren’t exactly lining up at her door. Plus, this extreme makeover will give Taylor the golden opportunity to prove that her program works like a charm.
HE WANTS TO BUY IT.
Bennett Wade is many things—arrogant, smug, brusque—but trusting isn’t one of them. Women just seem to be after his billions. So when he hires Taylor Reed, he has no desire to change. Bennett is trying to win over the feminist owner of a company he desperately wants to buy, but something about the fiery Taylor thaws the ice around his heart, making Bennett feel things he never quite planned on. And if there’s one thing Bennett can’t stand, it’s when things don’t go according to plan.
They are a match tailor-made for trouble.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The fast paced dialogue had me laughing one minute, hot and bothered the next. Hard to resist characters that could frustrate but turn on the charm and have you forgetting their flaws.Tailored For Trouble is heated, humorous and fun rolled into one great package. Mimi Jean Pamfilioff got me to fall in love with a jerk. What better recommendation than that.
