The Soldier's Unexpected Family

(Heroines of Hollydale #3)

By Tanya Agler

Adult Contemporary Romance

Paperback & ebook, 230 Pages

March 1, 2021 by Harlequin Heartwarming

He had a plan…
She changed it all!

Major Aidan Murphy arrives in the charming small town of Hollydale to take full guardianship of his six-year-old nephew. Only there’s a slight problem—his vivacious, fiery co-guardian. School teacher Natalie Harrison has no intention of letting Aidan take her best friend’s heartbroken little boy away. Now Aidan must convince Natalie that blood is stronger than love…even if his heart tells him otherwise.

My Review:

Rating: 5/5

The Soldier’s Unexpected Family is the third book in the Hollydale Heroines series.  This was a new-to-me author and if fact I did not realize it was actually part of a series until I started reading the book.  I do not feel that reading it as a stand-alone was a concern though… although now I think I will go back and read earlier books.  Of course, characters from the previous books were included and some events referenced but overall, they did not affect this book.  The book was paced perfectly and flowed smoothly.  The small town of Hollydale and its citizens were charming and full of warmth.  I loved the feeling of friendship, good-naturedness, and openness they showed Aidan, a stranger in town.  Having lost most of his family, Aidan Murphy was committed to raising Danny, his half-sister’s son.  He was not expecting to fall for Natalie or grow to love Hollydale.  Natalie had taken on the guardianship of her best friend’s son, Danny, and knew her best friend wanted him to grow up being surrounded by those who loved him in Hollydale.  Her heart was torn trying to make the right decision for Danny’s future.  I really enjoyed this book.  It was a heartwarming small-town romance that leaves you smiling after reading it. 

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Review: A Brother's Promise

ABOUT THE BOOK

My Review:

Rating 5/5

A Brother’s Promise is part of the Bliss, Texas series but was good as a stand-alone. I do not feel as though I missed anything by reading it as a stand-alone.  The book was well written and the pacing was perfect.  The characters had depth and were easy to connect with.  The book drew me in from the beginning and I could not put it down until I finished.  I loved seeing Mick, the loner cowboy, become wrapped around his niece Sadie’s fingertips. She was such an adorable little girl and full of personality. 

Mick had promised his sister to take care of Sadie if something happened to her and her husband.  So not only was he devastated by his sister’s death, but his life had been turned upside down trying to adjust to taking care of a young child.  Christa was so supportive of Mick and kept reminding him to keep the faith.  She bonded instantly with Sadie and was able to relate to her and her parent’s death.  Christa helped Mick and Sadie with their grief and helped them grow to be a family of their own.

I enjoyed seeing Christa and Mick’s relationship slowly change from neighbors to more.  Mick’s past relationships made him weary and he had doubts Christa would be interested in him but eventually he overcame his doubts.  This was a new-to-me author and I found the book to be charming and easy to read.  I look forward to reading future books by this author. 

I received an ARC and am willingly leaving a review.  All opinions and thoughts are my own.

Life as I knew it ended the day I accepted my fate.

In its place is an existence even the wildest imagination could never fathom. Strange creatures walk among us, plotting our demise, and I’ve come to find that the fate of our world rests squarely on my shoulders. We’re all in danger and I’m trying to figure out how to make it through each day. The key to my survival is a man I can’t figure out. As dangerous as the darkest fae, I have no choice but to work with him to stop the prophecy that’s foretold to be the ruination of mankind. Carrick Byrne continues to be my only source of information, but he doles it out as he sees fit. He intrigues and scares me in equal measure, yet I can’t help but be attracted to him. And the more I discover about him, the more it becomes clear he feels the same. As we travel to Faere in search of answers, we find that every piece of information leads to more questions, that every question leads to a new piece of the puzzle, and that, most importantly, no one can be trusted. The more secrets we uncover, one thing is certain— if we have any chance of saving the world, we have to do it together. A Discovery of Secrets and Fate is book two of the Chronicles of the Stone Veil series and is best enjoyed if read in series order.

Getting fired and dumped in the same thirty seconds makes for a pretty bad Tuesday. But by Thursday, I’ll be in Vegas celebrating my brother’s wedding. Since I could use a fresh start, he offers me a place to stay with a buddy of his.

At the bachelorette party, a raunchy game results in a quest to find me a one-night stand. When a hunk with dark blue eyes and perfect bone structure hits me with a silly line at the bar, my mission is complete.

I vow to move on from our steamy night as I head to the rehearsal dinner, certain one of my brother’s hot pro football player groomsmen will be my Prince Charming.

Then the best man turns around. Dark blue eyes. Perfect bone structure. A body I won’t soon forget.

And apparently my new roommate.

Nothing makes me work harder than when my future husband tells me, “Prove your worth.”

Luke hired me as his publicist so his pro football team owner will see that he’s indispensable to the organization. When a defamatory headline hits newsstands, it’s up to me to show the world what a Prince Charming he truly is.
My solution? A marriage of convenience. It’ll get his boss off his back and quiet the slanderous voices.

Luke is adamant that this is nothing more than a business transaction, but I still feel the heat from the single night we spent together when we were strangers.

Now I just have to figure out how not to fall in love with my fiancé.

Amazon US: https://amzn.to/30aMBKz Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/32lOk2n Amazon CA: https://amzn.to/2WhbL96 Amazon AU: https://amzn.to/3iYLned     Blurb: USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn’s latest bauble is the charming story of a crafting queen battling a jaded divorce lawyer on a wedding reality show. Luna Wu is a veritable crafting genius—she can bedazzle and bead so hard her Etsy site is one of the hottest in the world. So it’s only natural that Luna would convince her brother and his husband-to-be to compete on The Wedding Game, a “do-it-yourself” TV show, for the title of Top DIY Wedding Expert. As a jaded divorce lawyer, Alec Baxter scoffs at weddings and romance. But when his recently engaged brother begs him to participate in The Wedding Game, Alec grudgingly picks up a glue gun and prepares for some family bonding. Both fierce competitors, Luna and Alec clash on national TV as harsh words and glitter fly with abandon. But as they bicker over color swatches and mood boards, they find themselves fighting something else: their growing mutual attraction. While Luna is torn between family loyalty and her own feelings, Alec wonders if he might have been wrong about love and marriage all along…     Excerpt: “Are you ready?” Farrah says, coming from behind me and massaging my shoulders. I move my head side to side while we both hop up and down. “Did you do those finger exercises I told you about?” I flex my fingers and nod. “Yup, all warmed up.” “Do you have your game face on?” Farrah spins me around and grips my shoulders as I mean mug it at her. “Ooo, you’ve been practicing in the mirror. I can tell.” “When I brush my teeth. I really feel like I’ve mastered the scowl.” “Honey, you mastered the scowl years ago. Now you’re just coming into your own with it.” She holds up her hands, and I start boxing into them as we leap around the apartment. “Quick on your feet, quick on your feet.” Farrah swings her hand at me, and I duck. “Focus, hone your attention.” “Focused.” “Tell me, who’s going to kill it today?” “I am.” I bob back and forth and then give Farrah a one-two punch to her hands. “Who’s going to do anything necessary, even sit on someone’s face if you need to, in order to win today’s challenge?” “I am. Show no mercy. My ass is coming for your face.” Farrah pauses, winces. “I’m not sure I like that.” “Just go with it.” “Okay, Luna’s ass is coming for your face.” She shrugs. “Next week let’s work on your trash talk.” “Might be necessary.” Circling again, I box at Farrah’s hands, feeling light on my feet and ready for anything that comes my way. “You’re going to ignore all conversations from Mr. Snobby Shoes.” “I don’t even know he exists.” “Your eyes are on the prize. And what is that prize?” “Giving Cohen and Declan the best wedding possible.” “Exactly.” She lowers her palms. “Quick, flash me your hands.” I lift my hands, and she inspects them carefully. “You lotioned—good. Nails are clipped to a perfect length, and those fingers are stretched and strong. Rotate your wrists for me.” She lowers her ear to my wrists as I circle them around. “Perfect, no cracking, no tension.” She points to the ground. “Fast feet.” My feet start bouncing up and down, like in those football movies, and I hold my hands at my hips, ready for the call . . . “Draw!” Farrah shouts. I pull my glue gun from my hip and point it at her. “You’ve been glued.” Farrah claps her hands. “Reaction time was spot on. You’re ready.” “Yeah?” She nods. “You got this, girl. This competition is yours for the taking. And remember what we talked about: don’t focus on what you think will win . . .” “Focus on what will bring Cohen and Declan joy.”       About the Author: USA Today Bestselling Author, wife, adoptive mother, and peanut butter lover.
