Triquetra By Cassy Roop

Buy Link: Triquetra

Triquetra—a Celtic Trinity Knot made of three interlocked pieces, often used to represent groups of three. 

Dominic has survived falling in love for the first time, having his world shattered, and then finding that love again. What happens, though, when that love also loves someone else? 

Ashley finally fought and won against the people keeping her and Dominic apart, but what she soon learns is that she now has to fight her own heart when feelings for another man have developed during her time apart from Dominic. 

With a baby on the way, will Dominic be able to show Ashley they are meant to be or will she choose the man to which she owes her life? 

What happens when you have to watch the person you love, love someone else?

I freaking loved this book, so much. 

I have read Cassy's work now from the beginning and this has to be her best work to date. She just keeps getting better. 

I'd say this novel is about moving on. All of them have so many obstacles to over power, it's surprising that they do it.

I don't know how Ashley chooses between Rowan and Dominic, I really don't. Not even I can do it LOL and i'm just the reader. 

Both men are so different from each other, but both love Ashley deeply. I'm so envious of her in this book and I was worried about there being a love triangle at first as I hate them with a passion. I really do. This novel has changed that for me. She never, not once led anyone of them to believe anything other than the truth. She didn't mislead her feelings and was brave putting herself out there the way she did. 

I'm just glad she choose what her heart needed. Love is a powerful thing and can make you misinterpret in many ways.

I don't want to write much about what happens in the novel, just know it's another book that is going to keep you on your toes. 

Parts of it had me in tears and my heart breaking. I really wanted to reach in and comfort the characters. 

I'm sad that we won't be reading more about them in the future. Well done Cassy, you've done another amazing job and completing yet another brilliant novel. 

I can't wait to read more of her work. I'm looking forward to it. 

5* and if I could give it more I would.

Worth the fall: The McKinney Brothers By Claudia Connor

Buy link: Worth the fall

 
They meet on a beach. . . . Abby Davis isn’t wearing a skimpy bikini or sipping umbrella drinks, not when she’s busy chasing around four little ones. And Matt McKinney isn’t looking for fun—he’s a Navy SEAL, a grown man with a long list of missions . . . and fallen brothers.
 
They only have a week. . . . Abby has brought her children to this beach to start over, to give them the enjoyable memories they deserve. Matt’s been sidelined by a combat injury, and haunted by the best friend he lost and the promise he made: to remain a SEAL—focused and dedicated. This leaves no time for what he’s always wanted: a family.
 
But a week is all it takes. . . . Matt opens her heart while Abby soothes his soul. And though they plan to say good-bye when the week is over, something magical happens on that beach, something neither can forget. Something utterly, completely worth falling for.

For a debut novel, Claudia has done extremely well. I downloaded sample and I didn't even get passed the first chapter before I purchased it. I loved it. 

The kids were gorgeous and I love every single one of them.

The story isn't anything exciting, but it's the connection and past experiences that is what pulls you into the story. I couldn't seem to put it down. There was nothing but the characters that held me to that book. 

I can't explain it well enough, you have to read it to experience what I'm trying to tell you. 

Simple, loving, funny, adorable, sexy, hot, cute, tearful are all words I would describe and more about this book. 

The last quarter of the book, I found myself crying. Whether it was due to happy tears or sad tears, I was a blubbering mess LOL 

It was worse if it was one of the kids upset expressing their feelings. I just wanted to reach into the book and hold them tightly. 

The two main characters Abby and Matt are my all time favorite couple. It wasn't just about attraction or lust between them, it was straight and narrow love and connection. You felt it during the whole book or found yourself sighing whenever he picked a child or when he first feels her baby kick in her tummy, it overwhelms you. This book didn't need excitement, or drama, it just needed these two characters and four children. 

Saying that, there is drama, just not anything drastic, but something so believable that it could happen to you. 

5* for you Claudia and looking forward to reading future work :) 

Frenched By Melanie Harlow

Buy link: Frenched

When Tucker Branch, playboy heir to Branch Bolt and Screw, screws and bolts a week before their wedding, Mia Devine wants nothing more than to crawl under her newly monogrammed sheets and plan a funeral for her dignity. But her friends convince her that bitter tastes better when it’s drowned in Bordeaux, so Mia grits her teeth and packs her bags, determined to make the best of her luxurious Paris honeymoon—alone. 

She never planned on meeting Lucas Fournier. 

The easygoing bartender’s scruffy good looks and less-than-sympathetic ear annoy her at first, but when she takes him up on his offer to show her around the city, she discovers that the romance of Paris isn’t just a myth. 

Nor is the simultaneous O. 

The last thing Mia needs is another doomed love affair, but since she only has a week, she figures she might as well enjoy la vie en O with Lucas while she can. But each day—and night—with Lucas is better than the last, and suddenly her heart is telling her this is more than a rebound fling. 

Is it just the seduction of Paris…or could this be the real thing? 

Frenched is a sweet, contemporary, romance novel, with a hint of comedy and steamy sex scenes. Seriously, they were really HOT!! 

I loved the character, and although it started off really great, it dragged kind of in the middle, then the ending was sudden. It didn't seem to go anywhere. Although I'm told there is another to follow on called Yanked, Its meant to let the book down. Which is something I don't want. I was told by a few friends and fellow readers that Melanie completely changes Lucas. His whole personality. Which I personally don't want to read. I left the book on a happy note and it's staying that way. 

What can I say? I'm a romantic. 

The book is a journey (Literally) of Mia finding herself after been dumped a week before her massive (kind of celebrity) wedding. Mia and Lucas become close, and the sexual attraction is strong between the two, and even I felt uncomfortable during them moments. I just wanted to slap their heads together and say hump it already. 

All in all a sweet story, and some amazing characters. 

4* Enjoy
