Love in Deed (Green Valley Library #6)

Review: Love In Deed - Book #6 Green Valley Library Series - L.B Dunbar - May 2020
Hopping back into the Smartypants Romance world and the Green Valley Library series with Book #6 Love in Deed, we meet Naomi Winter's older sister Beverley Townsen. Those who read Naomi's book will remember that we saw a snippet of Beverley where she had been starting to fall in love and become herself again after all these years. Love in Deed is Beverley's story. Our book starts with Beverley in AA after an accident that caused her to crash and do harm to herself. The book then jumps to present times where it has been years since the accident and Beverley has turned into a recluse of sorts and has let herself go. Our male lead Jedd Flemming hasn't set foot in Green Valley for at least twenty years, when he was here last he had eyes for Beverley but she had married Howard at that stage. When Jedd arrives at the farm, he can't believe his eyes and that this was the same woman he has always loved as she has aged terribly and a shell of her former self.  Jedd has a proposal for Bev as he wants to farm horses and needs somewhere to live etc. At first, she declines, but after her daughter, Hannah talks her into it, she reluctantly agrees. From then on, we can see flashes of flirting between the two and we read as Bev or Bee as Jedd calls her to start to emerge from her hive like a buzzy bee. What will happen though when the person who caused her all the hurt and heartache, her husband Howard comes back in the picture wanting his property? Will Bev lose everything she has worked hard for and revert into her shell or will she after twenty years finally get the guts along with her sisters Naomi and Scotia by her side - tell him to stick it where the sun doesn't shine? I have to admit I found this one a harder story to read as I liked Jedd but I found Beverley's character and everything surrounding Howard frustrating. It was like come on lady, you had an accident and your husband left you for another woman - Move the freaking on. You aren't the only one who has had tragedy in your life. Overall though if you want some Green Valley fun in your life, then check out Love In Deed as every time I read a Smartypants Romance - my memories transport back into the good times and the characters’ lives I've read in the many books set in this Tennessee small country town.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
