Chase Wilde Comes Home by Jennifer Ryan

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Chase Wilde Comes Home is the first book in the Wildes of Wyoming series and follows Chase and Shelby. Chase is a military veteran suffering with PTSD and addiction issues who returns homes after a traumatic event. He is reunited with Shelby, the mother of his child the the woman he wishes he never left. Shelby also has a troubled past and when the two reunite, they are both given a second chance at romance and life. 

I have read my fair share of cowboy romance novels this year and I can say that Chase Wilde Comes Home tells a different kind of story. Wow, this book deals with some heavy heavy topics. It's a lot and it helped me feel for and connect with both of the main characters. I loved the overall themes of redemption, second chances, and forgiveness. The reader will really get invested in the story and want to root for these two until the end. And Eliza is just darling, my goodness. Chase Wilde Comes Home is a great book and I am looking forward to the next books in the series. 4.5 stars.

Thanks to Netgalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for this ARC; this is my honest and voluntary review.

Book Review: Her Dark Seduction (Featured Review on Netgalley!)

-
Her Dark Seduction  Author: Emily Royal Publish Date: April 28, 2021 Publisher: The Wild Rose Press, Inc. Review: 4/5 Stars Her Dark Seduction is a historical fiction novel that follows the story of Lady Lisetta, forced into a loveless marriage with Lord Mortlock and bound into service for him. She is drawn to his manservant, Vane Sawford, and soon becomes tangled in his world, both in love and as a means of survival.  This book is one wild ride to say the least. Engaging from beginning to end, I had trouble putting the book down and ended up finishing it in one day. Lady Lisetta is an incredibly strong female lead, and it is easy to get invested in her story. The trials she faces are significant, and the reader is left likely rooting out loud for her during many parts of the book (and also yelling "no, why????" during in other sections). As a novice reader of historical fiction, I would like to point out that the setting of this book is written in a time when women were seen

Book Review: Chasing the Stars

-
Chasing the Stars  Author: Melanie Hooyenga ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chasing the Stars is the second book in the Campfire Series and follows the story of Naomi and Hunter. Naomi runs a podcast with her brother and is not a big believer in love at first sight. Hunter is incredibly focused on his future and doesn't have time for distractions, including romance. But when they finally meet on a family camping trip, sparks fly and the stars may just align for these two. One thing I absolutely LOVE is a book with a good cover, and that is the number one reason I went out of my way to try to get an ARC of Chasing the Stars (a big thanks again to the author!). The second thing I can't get enough of is a book with a camping/outdoor/nature setting. So two big boxes checked for this book. I liked the dual POV telling of the story, and enjoyed reading the book from both Naomi and Hunter's perspectives. The romance aspect is told in a very age appropriate manner, and I have to say I really appreciated this

Book Review: Well-Offed in Vermont

Well-Offed in Vermont  Author: Amy Patricia Meade Publisher: Beyond the Page Publishing  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well-Offed in Vermont is a quirky mystery novel that follows Stella and Nick as they leave behind the busy New York lifestyle for quiet Vermont. However, finding a body in a well on their property throws a bit of a wrench in their plans. Removed from their new home, the couple tries to help solve the murder in hopes of returning home and preventing further tragedies. I'll be honest: mystery novels are not my usual genre of choice. However, after seeing several on Netgalley with great covers and fun titles like Well-Offed in Vermont, I thought I would give the genre a chance. I can definitely see why readers love these books. Well-Offed in Vermont is a pretty well rounded book, with murder mystery combined with humorous dialogue. The small town Vermont setting certainly doesn't hurt either. I finished this book in a couple of sitting and had a great time trying to solve the murder along
