Review of A Highland Knight to Remember by Amy Jarecki


**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review**
Gyllis Campbell has loved Sir Sean MacDougall for as long as she can remember. As she is heading to the Beltane festival, she's determined once and for all that he will be hers. When Sean sees Gyllis at the Beltane festival, he is at once entranced. He would like nothing more than to openly pursue her. Even though her brother is his best friend, he'll never agree. Regardless, he can't stay away from her. When he is unexpectedly called away from the festival due to his father's death, Gyllis assumes he was playing with her her and is heartbroken. As she is leaving, she's struck by a horrible illness and is sent to a priory where one of her brothers is a monk. When Sean is sent to the same Priory for a meeting, he is shocked to see Gyllis there and to find out what happened to her. Once he finally convinces her of his honest intent, they slowly form a strong relationship as she fights for her life and he fights treasonous enemies.
While in his youth, Sean was as wild as the next highlander, it's obvious from the beginning that he is 100% crazy about Gyllis. He is one of the strongest around, but when he's with her, he's totally tamed and at ease. During this book, he goes from a dedicated soldier to a chieftain in love. In the beginning of the book, Gyllis is a young woman determined to have the man she wants. Her illness sidetracks her and she uses her determination to overcome it and help the one she loves. During the story, the two main characters are given the opportunity, albeit bad circumstances, to really grow their love and get to know each other in a way they didn't know before. That doesn't happen in a lot of historical books. I really liked that part.
I really liked this book. I thought the plot was rather unique. When I started it, I was a little cautious on that point, but in the end, I thought it helped build character strength. I highly recommend for anyone that likes this genre.

Review of The Rest of My Life by Sheryl Browne - 5 Stars!!

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Adam slept with Lisa, who was a married woman. Nathanial was Adam's only friend. Nathanial was the marina's manager. Sienna is renting a cottage with her best friend Lauren. Sienna had to re-edit her romance script. Sienna wasn't sure if she believed that love conquered all anymore. Even though he was a womanizer, Sienna was attracted to Adam. He was also attracted to her, but knew he should stay away. Sienna was naive as far as passionate experiences went and her ex-boyfriend made her question whether or not she was frigid. She was a kind, warm and loving person trying to get a little breathing room from her dad. She loved her dad and even understood.  I really loved her character and her defending of those she cared for. Adam had been messed up from a previous relationship and saw his ex-fiance's ghost a lot. He had affairs to take away the pain and loneliness and drank for the same reason. Howeve

Review of Ignited by Laurie Wetzel - 4 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maddy was dating an angel, MJ. MJ is a protector who has broken a lot of rules, but some he had to keep. MJ told Maddy she was his heart and he would fight before he would let anyone take her. Maddy had some special powers of her own. The characters were good, especially Maddy, who was overwhelmed with powers she couldn't control and the love she couldn't state and MJ. The plot was good as was the overall story. It dragged a little bit, but overall a good story. I recommend, although I didn't like the ending.

Review of The Wedding Reject Table by Angela Britnell

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maggie was at a wedding reception and at the reject table, met a handsome man named Chad Robertson. He was from Tennessee and he was an attorney. Maggie was a cake decorator and childhood friend of Fiona, the bride. Maggie and her sister Emily had formed Two Heart Catering two months before. Emily called Maggie away from Chad as the cake had been ruined. Maggie was the responsible and reliable half of the company. Emily was the creative cook. Chad was attracted to Maggie and recently he had decided he was bored. Emily is the drama queen, and even though she's younger, Maggie has been brought up to take care of her. Maggie is a very loyal and responsible person. She can be very caring and loving. She can also be stubborn at times. She was usually very sensible who learned to let go some and also found love. I liked her character. Chad was a charming Southern man. He was a good guy, kind and caring. He changed thro
