Review of Rue Toulouse by Debby Grahl


**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review**
Caterine Doucette is a wealthy fashion designer that helps run her grandmother's high-end boutique in New Orleans. As Mardi Gras approaches, she catches her boyfriend cheating on her. Determined to not let it get to her, she attends her best friend's masquerade ball where she encounters a mystery man dressed up as the pirate Jean LeFitte. Bayou born and raised Remi Mechaud can't believe his luck when he sees the same beautiful woman at his partner's masquerade ball that he encountered earlier that day. He can't resist approaching her to find out more about her. After she runs off on him, he knows he's got to find her. When his partner admits about who she is and that someone is trying to hurt her, Remi knows he needs to keep her safe while they both put their hearts at risk.
Overall, this book was pretty good. It was more a mystery with a romance theme running parallel. I actually liked the overall mystery plot more than the romance. Some parts of the romance didn't really work for me, but it didn't deter the story itself. I found the book to be mainly about a very lonely young woman, bullied by her family, finally finding a much better family willing to accept her rather than disdain her. I would recommend it to anyone that likes this kind of book.

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

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: Last Impressions

Last Impressions by A.J. Aalto My rating: 5 of 5 stars Marnie was an FBI internal affairs investigator, but ended up on the preternatural crimes unit. Marnie left town to left a Canadian cop, who wasn't happy about it. What more can you ask for: A cop who doesn't want your help, an exorcist, a ghost, even an old friend. I really enjoyed reading this story. The characters were awesome. It had a little bit of everything. I highly recommend. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review View all my reviews
