Is it Time to Change What I Write

Not You, It's Me by Julie Johnson
It's great when you hear a woman using the line "It's not you, it's me" instead of the man. Gemma Sommers is well acquainted with saying that. She doesn't believe love is a real emotion that she can attain after many pathetic dating experiences.
Such as at the beginning of her story, she's dating her apartment neighbor who can barely pay attention to her.
This is evident when Mr. Gorgeous, Chase Croft, saves her on screen with a smothering, in a good way, kiss. Her boyfriend is standing right next to her and doesn't even notice, by the way. The rest of Boston sees it.
Gemma has a creative job at an art gallery where she sells exclusive art. Her apartment is small and full of color just as she wants it. Her funds are low, but she's pleased with her lifestyle.
Chase has a different type of problem. His bank account is exploding, woman love him, and his penthouse is spacious. He thinks he doesn't have room for the right woman, yet he seeks out Gemma as his art consultant.
Sounds easy for them to fall in love, but Gemma is short on the trust theory and Chase has a meddling family and doubts of his own ability to run his business and treat Gemma in the way she deserves.
It's a fun read as the insecurities of each are hashed out, thrown against the wall, and hope to reach the finish line in a compatible manner!
Happy reading,

The Duchess and the Highwayman by Beverley Oakley
The early eighteen hundreds in Norfolk, England is rough on the young ladies.
Phoebe may be known as Lady Drummond, but she isn't treated like a lady. Her ailing husband, Ulrick, has abused her and left her for his cousin, Wentworth, to create an heir before Ulrick dies.
Ulrick's death is surprisingly fast and gruesome leaving Pheobe to run from an upcoming accusation. She acts as a maid and runs without money, direction, or any hope of survival.
An alleged highway man, Hugh Redding, saves her from Wentworth who is pounding down on his horse within a stone's throw.
No one can know she's really Lady Drummond. Not even the man with crystal blues eyes who takes her to his rented cabin.
Hugh and Phoebe are honest about their ambitions in taking Wentworth down, each for strong reasons. Their true identities are kept deep in their pockets even as their hands begin to roam over each other.
A few details may make it hard for Hugh and Phoebe to keep their idyllic dreams a part of the future. Let's see if they can make their way past the hidden truths and the law chasing Phoebe and make the rest of their lives a happily-ever-after.
Happy reading,

A Ruin of Roses by K.F. Breene
Danger is all around.
The curse put on a kingdom and surrounding villages cannot be broken. Well, there is a way.
Finley has her own way to help her village sustain life. She sneaks into the Forbidden Forest to find the elusive herb that holds back the deadly curse. Her crusade must be done at night and in the shadows of the Beast.
The Beast, dragon-shifter unable to use all powers, guards his kingdom of leftover shifters cursed into the life of continual sexual desires as their only pastime. Nyfain has little to keep the curse of his kingdom at bay, yet capturing the strong-willed intruder gives him hope of some sort.
Always wary of her surroundings, Finley doesn't back down to Nyfain, but rather tells him exactly what she thinks of him and his disgusting lifestyle.
A few lenient breaks in her imprisonment, shows a different man and Beast of Nyfain. She could almost care about him. But not so fast, he has to prove himself.
Nyfain is spellbound by this daring minx and her steadfastness for her village's wellbeing. Maybe they can work together on this curse cast to all.
A little loving may be what the last potion needs for the curse and the romance!

Beautiful Russian Monster (A Vancouver Mafia Romance) by Odette Stone
Her grandfather, a shipping tycoon, is missing, and Blaire is kidnapped by a frightful Russian man. What else can go wrong?
Viktor has a mission, different than his former position in the Russian Mafia, but somewhat the same. He needs to be stealthy and better than his opponent because there are no "ties" in this game.
In order to save his tight friends, Viktor steals Blaire who is supposed to have the answers he needs. If she can help him find her grandfather, he can save his friends. Quite a mess of steps to get to the end of the maze.
Constant action, bad timing, luck, and ingenuity not only reveals clues to the end, but a bond between the captor and captured.
Viktor has no use for a needy woman in the future and Blaire can't imagine this ruthless man as anyone who could have compassion. Little by little, they work together to get what they want, which may include a first date...
Yea!

Veronica Reviews - WYATT'S WAY by Lexi Post
Wyatt's Way
(Last Chance #7)
by Lexi Post
5 Stars
★★★★★
“It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”
—Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Welcome to Last Chance Ranch. A working ranch set up to care for rescued and abused horses, and for Wyatt Ford, perhaps a second chance at finding a place to call home…
If you’ve been following this series, you’re in for a much-welcomed return to familiar characters from the past. But if this is your first visit to Last Chance, pull up a chair and get ready to fall head over heals over Wyatt and Alyssa’ story.
Wyatt’s Way is a roller coaster of a romance full of witty banter, past turmoil, and smexxy new beginnings. Lexi Post has an amazing talent for brining her characters to life within the written word, and I always look forward to her next read!
Loved and highly recommend!
Sharing what I love,
Veronica

Secrets Hidden in the Glass by Cate Beauman
Callie Davis wants nothing more than a way out of her rich life created by world renowned glass art. Amazing that a gift of talent can result in anxiety and the need to flee.
Leaving the glam of Manhattan, Callie rents a cabin on a quiet, touristy island in Massachusetts. Maybe she'll get her muse for art back or disappear into a world she's not known.
Her new landlord is more than a plumber who fixes her sink but also the town sheriff. She can't get around Carter Island without his influence. Nate Carter is either related to or knows everyone. He wants to get to know the beautiful visitor.
Couldn't imagine a couple getting along any better at first sight. Yet, Callie has secrets from her childhood that keep appearing in her attempts at art and to fit in with the locals. She's leery of getting into a relationship as she digs for answers of her past.
Which, might I add, would be the perfect tension in the romance, but that strain is missing in the story. Nate has no reason to not pursue their relationship, and Callie constantly decides it's okay to continue.
I love a good relationship, although in a story I want to be on the edge of my sofa wondering how they're going to make it work. Callie's origins and job are up in the air, but not her romantic feelings. Nate cannot imagine letting Callie out of his arms, even with her unknowns and former lifestyle.
The romance is solid, but if you're interested in answers to the side problems, it's an enjoyable read.
Happy reading,
Dawn

(Last Chance #7)
by Lexi Post
After the loss of his grandfather, Wyatt Ford is homeless
and rudderless when he lands at Last Chance Ranch with the last of their
horses. His mood is anything but pleasant, so when he inadvertently hurts the feelings
of the sweetest woman in town, he’s determined to make it up to her. But she
has a backbone, which attracts his full attention, and he finds himself willing
to go the extra mile for her. That is, if she’ll let him.
Alyssa Parker, Ms. Parker to her third-grade students, has a
strong moral compass, a strict code about only dating locals, and a goal to purchase
her very own home. Her interest in Mr. Ford is fleeting…until he comes to her rescue. Just
when she thinks her cowboy hero seems too good to be true, she discovers his
biggest fear, one that looms large between them.
Wyatt knows letting Alyssa go is the right thing to do for
her, but it’s the worst move he could make for himself. It means tackling his
past on his own. But even if he comes out a winner, what good will it do him if
he’s lost the woman he loves?
Lexi Post is a New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of romance
inspired by the classics. She spent years in higher education taking and
teaching courses about the classical literature she loved. From Edgar Allan
Poe's short story “The Masque of the Red Death” to Tolstoy’s War and Peace, she's read, studied, and
taught wonderful classics.
But Lexi's first love is romance novels so she married her two first loves, romance
and the classics. From hot paranormals to sizzling cowboys to hunks from out of
this world, Lexi provides a sensuous experience with a “whole lotta story.”
Lexi is living her own happily ever after with her husband and her two cats
in Florida. She makes her own ice cream every weekend, loves bright colors, and
you will never see her without a hat.

Last Chance Series Books 1- 7 by Lexi Post
With Book 7, Wyatt's Way coming out next week, it's a great time to catch up on the first 6 books in the Last Chance series.
Wyatt's Way #7 available for preorder. Releases April 21st
Every character has their own special horse, but there are many more rescued horses that these cowboys and cowgirls care for. That they have caring hearts is obvious because of their work with horses, but getting those hearts to open up to their greatest potential is a challenge.
For Wyatt, he may overcome his past, but what good will it do him if he loses the woman he loves in the process?
I hope you enjoy Last Chance Ranch 😊
Always, Lexi

Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith (JK Rowlings)
Some books I love, and some I savor! This I do both.
Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott bring suspense and the elusive romance in line throughout their mystery in London.
Strike (called by his last name due to constant mispronunciation of first) is a wounded war hero turned private investigator and hot as a sizzling iron.
He picks up a cold case of a former Playboy Bunny turned doctor with suspicious death circumstances. His beautiful partner, Robin, is on the trail with him.
Strike does his best to ignore the lurking emotional feeling he's experienced with Robin. Not too hard most of the time since his aunt, like a mother to him, is dying and their caseload is maxed.
Robin is doing the same, ignoring the attraction to Strike while she goes through a divorce along with extensive work hours.
The cold case highlights former police inadequacies and a strange connection to tarot cards and astrology.
Galbraith pulls the reader in as if you're living the story and can feel the energy expended with each dead end and lead in the case and romance. I just hope that Strike and Robin figure it soon!
Happy reading,

Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score
A delightful read as Naomi Witt runs far and fast at the last moment from the aisle and still wearing the white dress.
Always a planner, she has only one sense of direction toward her twin sister, Tina, in need of help, as always. The only "twin" thing about the sisters is their looks. Otherwise, her sister is a complete troublemaker and completely irresponsible.
Naomi arrives in Knockemout, Virginia and finds an unknown eleven-year-old niece, Waylay, waiting for her.
No wedding, no money, no home, no job, and an abandoned niece. What else can upset Naomi's planned existence?
Knockemout is a charming and tight community with the necessary coffee house to ease anxieties.
Knox Morgan owns the cafe plus a lot more in town, yet he's not a people person. He makes it plainly clear when confronting the new girl in town. He's a bad-boy biker with a hidden heart of gold. He wants to keep that a secret and be left alone.
The funny thing is, Knox has it hard for Naomi, and she can't help but search for his good qualities.
The story is loaded with Knox attempting to secretly help Naomi, Naomi falling for Knox, Knox falling for her, and both holding back.
As I read the love story, I wanted to tell them to "Quit being stubborn!", and "You're perfect for each other!". Knox and Naomi will have to figure it out themselves as they didn't listen to me!
