My Thoughts
Carly Bloom delivers just the right amount of humor in this cowboy romance. Claire and Ford are so stubbornly adorable that you want all of the banter and bickering, but you desperately want all of their heated kisses more.
I especially enjoyed experiencing the friendships between men - all of the teasing and friendly taunting to get a rise out of each other. I couldn't help but laugh out loud at their antics.
A Favorite Quote:
"Hey, I'm sorry if I'm flip and irreverent. It's what I do when I get nervous. Which is very unfortunate. You deserve a friend who can provide real comfort instead of just farting out of her mouth."
We all have this one friend and we love them for it.
Things that made me laugh:
The backstory of Ford's name
The "Sunday safety pin"
Claire's sparkly show chaps
The characters have a book club and there's one reader who didn't finish the book (that's real life y'all)
What I loved most about COWBOY COME HOME is that it's not just a second chance romance. It's about family and finding a place to belong. And it's about community and taking care of each other, and you can't help but feel like you're a part of it all.
I loved it!!!

My Thoughts
I purchased HOW TO FAIL AT FLIRTING to read along with an online book club. I missed the book club, but I'm so glad that I bought the book anyway.
What I loved:
1. Naya is a lover of lists: ways to flirt, but also ways to get what she wants and ways to put herself out there
2. The Super-steamy love scenes, and there were plenty of them. They were so good that you can't help but want even more.
3. Naya has some wonderful friends who she could count on. They're honest with her and they keep her honest too.
Uh-oh, someone's falling:
"A few days, a few days, a few days. Enveloped in his warmth, I had to remind myself what this was, because he felt like safety, like home, like more."
I fell hard for this book and am already looking forward to the author's next book.
ENJOY THE VIEW by Sarah Morgenthaler

My Thoughts
It was so much fun to return to Moose Springs and finally get to know about the mysterious Easton and what was the best part is that Easton isn't so mysterious after all. He's charming, funny, and definitely the kind of guy you want to know.
ENJOY THE VIEW is full of danger and risks and scenerios that really gave me an adrenaline rush. I could feel my own anxiousness at the possible danger at any moment.
Favorite Quote:
"You're my kind of confusing."
There were many almost first kisses between River and Easton, and then finally, finally the first kiss and it was incredible.
I've enjoyed every book of this series and truly hope that I get the chance to visit Moose Springs again. It's just so fun there!
