Wild for You by Kristen Proby

 




Wild for You by Kristen Proby is now live! 


From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all-new small-town series set in Montana, starting with WILD FOR YOU, an Age-Gap, Single Dad, Nanny, Grumpy/Sunshine romance!



Remington Wild is a single dad of two adorable kids, and as the oldest son of the Wild family, has recently taken over the Wild River Ranch from his father. Life is crazy, and he’s finally willing to admit that he needs help, and the sooner the better. He has no idea that the beautiful woman he sees every day at Biterroot Valley Coffee Co. is the woman who would show up for the job.


Erin Montgomery couldn’t get out of Seattle fast enough. It’s not that she doesn’t love her big, loud family, but living in the big city just wasn’t for her. The minute she stepped foot in Bitterroot Valley, she knew she was home. She loves the slower pace, the friendly people, and her job at the coffee shop. Even the smoking hot grumpy guy who stops in every afternoon can’t put a damper on how much she loves small town life!


Thanks to car trouble, and her stubbornness when it comes to using her trust fund, Erin needs a second job and applies for the position of a part-time nanny. She’s surprised to find that it’s Grumpy himself who answers the door at the ranch, but Erin quickly learns that she loves his kids and the ranch, and it’s a no-brainer to take the job. She just has to remind herself to resist the sexy rancher and keep it strictly professional.


Remington is attracted to his younger nanny, and finds himself falling headfirst in love with her. He and his kids have never been happier, and he knows she is the perfect addition to their family for as long as she’s willing to stay. Hopefully forever.


But when secrets are exposed, one of which endangers his children, will their love survive? Or will it tear them apart?


My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

“…Not everyone is born in a place that feels like they belong.  Sometimes, you have to find it.”

Erin Montgomery never felt like she belonged in Seattle and when she visited Bitterroot Valley while on vacation, she knew it was what she had been looking for.  She loved living the small-town life and her new job, well everything except the grumpy man who comes into the coffee shop every day.  If she didn’t need the money to repair her car, she never would consider taking the nanny position.

“I never believed in love at first sight, but I took one look at you at that coffee shop, and I knew I was a goner.”

Remington Wild, a single dad of two kids, has taken over the
family’s ranch.  He didn’t want a nanny
for his kids, but he finally realized he needed one.  He never expected the woman from the coffee
shop to show up for the position.  But he
quickly realizes he is falling for her and she is a perfect fit for his family.

"And in case I haven’t made myself clear to you up to this point, you mean something to me, too. If you think I won’t do whatever it takes to keep the three of you safe, you don’t know me as well as you think you do."

Wild for You is the first book in The Wilds of Montana
series.  This small-town, age-gap, single
dad, nanny book set the standard for this series extremely high. I absolutely
loved the grump/sunshine relationship between Erin and Remi.  The pacing was perfect and the characters had
plenty of layers that slowly got revealed. 
This wonderful heartbreaking book had my emotions feeling like they were
on a rollercoaster. I highly recommend reading this book and will certainly be
rereading it.  I cannot wait for the next
book in the series.

Irresistible Love by Samantha Chase

 




Irresistible Love by Samantha Chase is now live! 


A Sexy, Close Proximity, Secret, Office standalone Romance by New York Times bestselling author, Samantha Chase.

She’s the darling ballerina of the renowned Montgomery’s.

He’s the sexy numbers nerd who works for her family.

Three years ago at a New Year’s Eve party they had a moment and kissed at the stroke of midnight.

Now she’s back and everything is…irresistibly complicated.

Lily Montgomery has danced her way through life, getting opportunities that few get, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t earned every single one. But with a career-ending injury, she returns home to nurse her wounds and figure out what comes next. What she didn’t expect was seeing the ruggedly handsome man she impulsively kissed three years ago and the simmering attraction that still burns between them.

Noah Wylder is committed to his five-year-plan – climbing the corporate ladder at Montgomerys. Three years ago, that plan almost got derailed thanks to an unexpected kiss with Lily. He’s since put in the work to redeem himself and stay under the radar. When she suddenly reappears, he can’t seem to escape her or the memory of their kiss. He knows in order to keep his job, he has to make sure he stays away from the alluring woman that’s never left his mind.

When Lily comes to him needing his help in figuring out what is happening within the Montgomery family, sneaking around leads to heated glances and harmless kisses. Will they realize that the connection they share is real, lasting, and irresistible for either of them to resist?


My rating: 3.5 stars out of 5 stars
My review:

3.5 Stars rounded to 4 Stars.

“You, Lily Montgomery, make my life worth living.  You bring laughter and color and music and love to it, and without you, I’m back to being just a sad, numbers nerd.”

This is the first book in the new Wylder Love series.  Although I love Samantha Chase’s books, this one just didn’t do it for me. Unfortunately, it is mostly due to Lily’s character.  She was self-centered, immature, and very irritating.  Noah’s character was the opposite; genuine, kind, considerate, and a wonderful guy.  I never connected with Lily, and I don’t think she redeemed herself by the end either.  Although I didn’t care for this book, it will not stop me from reading future books by Ms. Chase.

Ryder

Two years of silence and no goodbye—she slipped away and through my fingers, leaving me with nothing but questions... and a heavy heart from missing her.

I know what we had was real, that our love was once in a lifetime.

Now she's back from her Parisian fashion internship, and I'm ready for answers, desperate to understand why she couldn't just stay.

Jordyn

When I walked away, it was to protect him. Yet, all he knows, all he cares about, is that I left. Coming home is a bittersweet journey, each step heavier than the last.

While I'm no longer half a world away, the obstacles in front of us make it feel like we've never been farther apart.

I want to give him the answers he so desperately craves, and this time, I'll get to say goodbye. However, what I didn't plan on was Ryder's fight. He's not going to let me go so easily this time.


My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

Working hard and loving harder. I always thought I knew what my dad

meant by that, but it wasn’t until Jordyn that I truly understood.

Stay Present is the sixth book in the Kincaid Brothers series.  Each book can be read as a stand-alone but to get a better understanding of the characters and their connections it is best to read them all.  I love the dynamics of the Kincaid family and I have been hooked on the series from the beginning.  They are small-town romances filled with spice and lots of fun.  This was Ryder and Jordyn’s story, and I was not expecting the plot twist.

Ryder was heartbroken when Jordyn left town without saying goodbye or why she was leaving.  After two years she has returned home, and he is determined to get answers.  He is not going to let her go this time around.

“Saying I love you doesn’t seem like enough, but I don’t have the words to explain it any other way.”

Given no choice, Jordyn left town and went to Paris for a fashion internship.  She was determined to give Ryder answers and find a way for them to have a future together.

This was a terrific book and one of my favorites in the series.  I couldn't wait to start it after getting small tidbits of their relationship in previous books.  Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down until I finished it.  The characters are genuine, easy to connect with, and lifelike.  I loved revisiting the Kincaid family and cannot wait for the twin’s books. With their mischievous hijinks, it will have to be full of humor.   I highly recommend the series.
