I'm a bookworm and I go through books like water. This is my blog discussing various books/authors and sometimes random musings. That's just how I roll. I love promoting great stories and authors. Sit back, relax and join me.
Darby has overcome sickness in her life and she now lives life the way she wants! She gives back and also supports those around her. She’s trying to find her place in Townsend Harbor. Enter Ethan Townsend. There is an attraction and chemistry between these two. She gets under his skin! Ha! But Ethan is the kind of man who wants to do the right thing. Even if it’s difficult. Darby brings out something in him, but she’s a safe space for him, even if he doesn’t realize it. I enjoyed their interactions and watching Darby pissing him off! I liked the version of him he was with her. They were good for each other and I didn’t want their story to be over!!
Darby Dunwell is not—as her name might suggest—a Bond Girl, though she’s been blessed with the body of one. An east coast, ivy-league, trust fund kid, she flees a life of expectation, elocution, and executive board rooms to follow her one true love: Coffee. Isn't the Washington Coast the Mecca for all things brew related? The deeply eccentric seaside tourist hamlet of Townsend Harbor throws its doors wide open for her sex-positive, bikini-themed coffee shop named Brewbies. Her grand opening is an unmitigated success, until the county sheriff saunters in to shut her down.
Compulsive rule-follower Sheriff Ethan Townsend is known for helping old ladies across the road, breaking up bar fights, and keeping the sleepy town safe from the flood of seasonal tourists. One-night stands, not so much. After having his heart publicly stomped on, he no longer bothers to ask the name of the woman he’s going to forget in the morning. A policy he regrets when the woman who blew his mind turns out to be his nemesis. Not only is Darby’s salacious coffee shop causing traffic incidents on the Coastal Highway, its proprietress keeps making his life–among other things–as hard as possible.
Darby finds herself embroiled in a feud she never wanted with the cop who is as tight assed as his trousers suggest. But even as their animosity sizzles and the town begins to take sides, Ethan can’t seem to keep his eyes off Darby’s double D’s.

I have two responsibilities as the new heir to the throne:
1. Get married. 2. Have babies. Sure, becoming queen one day is part of those new responsibilities, but as long as King Theo is in charge, I don't have to add a coronation to my list. That's why I find myself in the throes of wedding planning, pre-wedding classes with my broody, over-protective fiancé, and counting down the days until we can finally say I do. But with every day we grow closer to our wedding, we seem to grow apart. Our commonalities are tested. Our faith in each other is questioned. And our safety is threatened. The only thing working? The command he has over me in the bedroom. I keep telling myself, it’ll all work out. We just need to make it to the wedding day. Except, when the day finally comes, everything falls apart. We might have made it through the last few months together, but now I'm not sure we're going to make it out of this alive.

I'm loving this charming Montana town and the people and families in this book! It was time for Morgan's story this time. She's loved Ryan forever but nothing has transpired between them so she's ready to try to move on. This story has a bit of suspense because there is a stranger lingering and watching; waiting. Clearly, it's not good to have a stalker, but this pushed up Ryan and Morgan's timeline. They realized how precious time is and she didn't want anyone but Ryan. At the same time, good things were happening for Morgan and she wasn't the type to let someone stop/slow her down! I was completely lost in this read and I certainly didn't see things coming! This story was intense and I was here for it!
Cherished Enough by Kelly Elliott is now live!
Morgan Shaw is my soulmate. She has no idea how much I desire her to fill the needs I crave. I've dedicated the last four years to learning everything I could about her. If my desire for her ever came to light before she realized how much she loved me, I would be labeled a stalker.
Some might find it a little creepy how I watch her every move. I find it exhilarating. I've even uprooted my entire life for her. Now this man has come into the picture and is not part of my plan. I see the girl's heads turn as he walks by, but Ryan Marshall has nothing on me and my love for Morgan. My obsession with her goes to my soul's deepest, darkest depths. If I can't have her, then no one else can.
It's almost time, Morgan, to be together forever. - The Ringmaster

Have you ever wanted to prove someone wrong so badly that you could taste it?It doesn’t matter if they’re right. The fact that they had the audacity to say it is what counts.
Hi. It’s me. I’m that person.
The man I’ve been casually seeing told me I’m not “wife material” and should “lower my expectations”. Didn’t he realize I lowered them the moment I met him for dinner?
Obviously not.
Am I petty? Maybe. Annoyed? Of course. Determined? Definitely.
I need someone to help me flaunt my new engagement—my fiancé couldn’t wait to pop the question because I’m that amazing—in his face.
The problem? I don’t have a boyfriend, let alone a husband-to-be.
Which brings us to you.
Are you handsome? Successful? A smooth talker extraordinaire?
Are you willing to do all the things that someone madly in love would do?
Putting your hand on the small of my back. Forehead kissing. Acting like I’m a treasure you can’t live without. I need you to be prepared to do all those things … and maybe more.
What do you get out of this? I’m willing to negotiate terms—especially if they include a job and a place to stay. It’s a long story. One night. One event. Let’s put on one heck of a show.
From USA Today and Amazon Charts Bestselling author comes a “hot and hilarious!” fake-dating tale between two frenemies that turn into roommates, coworkers, and, ultimately, lovers.
Fans of close proximity, one-bed trope, and blue-collar, small-town heroes will fall madly in love with this story.
My Review
Ohhhh Banks! I was excited to get this brother's story! Banks is most definitely misunderstood. Sure, he has a good time, seems to be carefree, but he loves just as hard as he plays. Previously, he had attached himself to his brothers but he's just a big cinnamon roll. He wants to love and be loved. They say opposites attract, and Sara was not on Banks' radar. But Sara and Banks also didn't get along. Or did they ... I loved the interactions between them and how the relationship shifted. Banks was there for her when she needed someone and not because he was forced into anything. I couldn't put this book down and I can't recommend it enough! I found myself laughing out loud at the antics of the Carmichael siblings and adored the love they had for each other. This book had me lost in the feels and I didn't want to walk away from these characters!

Ohhhh. Myyyy. Goodnesssssss. I ADORED this book! Vince and Bristol have a past. And the chemistry between them was undeniable. They were each other's first love. But circumstances took them separate ways and Bristol never faulted Vince. And life had a funny way to bring them together again. As Vince was in the spotlight, Bristol had semi kept up with him over the years. But when life brings them front and center again, that chemistry was hard to ignore. Bristol was faced with him back in her life, sooner than she had thought. She was making her own way in life and while there had been some setbacks, she was still forging forward. I loved that work brought them together and they couldn't just run away from each other. I understood Bristol's hesitancy, but I was team relationship! Vince's muse was back in his life and the music just poured out of him. It was the one sure thing in his life. It was clear they were made for each other and they never forgot one another. I couldn't read this book fast enough and yet never wanted it to end! This book had ALL. THE. FEELS. and I can't recommend it enough! Do yourself a favor and DO NOT let this book pass you by!
