Review: At First Smile - Melissa Whitney - October 2024 This was such a cute read as we first met Penny who is visually impaired as she is slowly losing her eyesight. She walks with her cane that she calls "Cane Austen" which I have to admit was one of my favorite things in this book. When she heads to the airport, she does a good deed and pays for the guy in front of her food. Rowan is thankful and calls his assistant to have her upgraded on the flight and she ends up in first case sitting next to him as his agent has a good sense of humour. Rowan Iverson has been trying to keep a low profile as his reputation on the ice hockey rink is currently in tatters as he punches out another player. Of course, we learn that Rowan had a good reason, but is protecting another person. He is glad that Penny doesn't have a clue who is and when their flight is delayed - the pair spend a few days together where we read sparks flying between the two of them. What will happen though when...

The Parent Playbook Elsie Wood (Love on Thin Ice) Publication date: September 26th 2024 Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance, Sports I don’t know when dad jokes and mismatched socks became my type, but that hockey dude skated into my life like a runaway puck… and I think I like it. Angel : I know I should be thankful that my charity was selected by the Ice Breakers hockey team. It’ll make a huge difference in children’s lives all over the state. There’s only one problem: I hate hockey dudes. I have to remind myself of that fact when Scotty MacFarland with his groan-worthy dad jokes slips into my life like he’s always been there.

But by the time I figure that out, it just might be too late. Scotty : The only thing I love more than hockey is my daughter. It was a no-brainer for me t...

Review: The Edens: A Legacy Story - Book #4.5 The Edens - Devney Perry - April 2023 A family saga that I have enjoyed and read all of the books was The Edens Family set in Quincy, Montana. Each of their books was amazing and now if you have ever wondered how the parents Harrison and Anne got together, here's your chance as turns out that Harrison and Anne used to be high school sweethearts, and then on their last day of High School, they broke up and went their separate ways - now a few years later Anne is back in Quincy, Montana with her friends and they have invited Harrison along. Is this a chance for Harrison and Anne to clear the air and have their second chance at romance? I also loved the last sentence on the last page if you have read The Edens series, you will smile to yourself as it sets the scene for the following books. A bonus too is that this book is a short novella so it makes it a quick and easy read ready to hit that romance itch. Amazon: https://amzn.to/3N5YsT...
