We’re back in Avalon Falls and I’m so happy. This series is so good and gets better with every book. Loved Graham and Francesca’s story. They are the cutest is and this is one of my favorite troupes. These two met years ago at a college party and things were cut short. Years later they meet again and Francesca moved to Avalon Falls to open up a bookstore these two are in the same town. Graham is the best. He has figured out a way to help her break free from her parents and their rules. This was a slow burn fast paced read that had me glued to my kindle.

Corinne Michaels does it again. There is a reason she is one of my favorite authors. She never disappoints. I was so excited to be back in Ember Falls and get Miles and Penelope’s story. It didn’t take Miles long to fall for Penny. They are the sweetest and perfect for each other.  Penny is a good mother who would do anything for Kai.  It will take a lot to break down the walls and make her feel safe and happy. Miles was such a swoon worthy hero. He has been added to my book boyfriend list.  Here and Now was such a sweet read. Must Read!

I love this author so much! The Kiss Lottery was such a fun and sweet read. Two of my favorite genres, second chance small town romance. Everly and Beckett’s story was the perfect read for valentines. These two grew up together and were never able to make things work between them. Now ,any years later Everly is back in the town she grew up in. Now that she’s back will these two be able to make things work this time? This was the sweetest story. I loved it and the characters so much.

I have been looking forward to Eve’s book since book one Sunday Morning. I could not put this book down. I went through all the emotions while reading this. From smiling to being in tears. The chemistry and banter between them was perfection. This was one of those books once you finish you can’t get it off your mind. Eve and Kyle are perfect for each despite the age difference. there is just something about these two. Loved this book so much and can’t wait for the next book!

I am always so excited to get a new book by this author. She is one of my all time favorites and a must read author for me. Once I started this book I hated to put it down to do anything else. Dawson and Naomi’s  story was such a great read. I loved the characters and the way this story played out. This is definitely a book you don’t want to miss. Indiscretion has easily become one of my favorite reads by Vi Keeland. Must Read!
