Love Explained Series by Jeannine Colette <— ALL 3 BOOKS IN THIS SERIES ARE SUPER-BARGAIN PRICED!!
Nancy: Love…It’s Messy… I have to tell you just how good it is. It has all the feels! It is a Second Chance, Slow Burn, Steamy Scenes, Lots of Angsty, and a good surprise ending. I won’t give any spoilers! Read it for yourself.
Nancy: …Love, it’s complicated! It’s also beautiful, amazing, and what we don’t want to live without. This is another great romance written by Jeannine Colette. It has lots of witty talk, the character of Melissa could sure talk. There is angst with twist and turns in the story, too. But all ends well! I just have one question for the author. Does the wine Whispering Angel Rose really exist? If it does, where can I get some?
Lords of Misrule by Maggie Rawdon <— LIVE!!! SHE AGREES TO A HEIST WITH THREE BAD GUYS!! “…when three men in masks offer to team up to steal the same rare paintings I need to save my brother, I’m desperate enough to risk it all.

Christmas might be coming early for me. The only problem is—the team captain and I? We hate each other. And pulling off this little holiday heist means we all have to cozy up under the same roof...”

My heart belongs to my daughter now, and there is no room for complications. Presley Duncan is a giant complication. A wise man would keep his distance. But I never claimed to be a wise man. So maybe we end up in a car together in the middle of a snowstorm. Which leads to a hotel room with only one bed. Maybe I should reconsider my stance on fairytales and second chances…”

Ten of a Kind: Kind Brothers Series, Book 15 by Sandi Lynn <— LIVE!! SHE HAD A ROUGH CHILDHOOD & HE ACTED LIKE HE KNEW HER! “…My childhood wasn’t your average: two parents, a white picket fence, a dog that ran in the yard, love, and home-cooked meals every night. Mine was traumatic, and it sent me into the system and to numerous foster care homes because I was such a troubled child. It was difficult for me to trust people, and for good reason. I’d made bad choices regarding men, and my relationships ended as quickly as they started. I wasn’t your average woman. I was a woman who possessed many different talents. On my way to an appointment, a very handsome man stopped me one morning as I stepped off the elevator. I knew I was in trouble when he acted like he knew me...”
