The things that both Everly and Wyatt keep buried are slowly eating away at the fulfilling lives they can and should be living. They really are an opposites attract, but in a way it's what the other needs in their lives. The opening scene is such a great way to lay the groundwork for the rest of the book. If a reader loves romance, hot, funny, and touching then this book is going to be perfect. All the books in the Wynn Hockey series can be read as standalones, but why would you want to miss out on all the hot guys!?

Part of this story I've been waiting for and part of me can almost come to terms with other because hate can make people do horrendous things. I'm so thankful to have been granted early access to every book in this series and cannot wait for the next one. I love that each book spans a case and that there are multiple POVs from the team members. I didn't see the ending coming at all and Carol always knows how to keep readers on the edge of the seat and on their toes.

This was the perfect book to follow-up The Blossom Twins. I love the cast of characters and the team DI Ward works with. The plot lines outside of the current cases is what keeps me invested. All of their lives are impacted by what happens at home too. The team members become real when you know who they are when they aren't investigating. I can't wait for the next one and find out what happens next.

Ash utilized an online forum that provides support for and from other single dads, which is how he "met" Brady. It's at Sean and Ash's wedding that Eric meets Brady and his niece and nephew. Another meet-cute and such a sweet courtship ensues. Love the dual POV approach because they both have so many things to process with the relationship and in their own lives.

If you loved The Pride Series by Jill Sanders, you will fall in love with this first novel of her new series that revisits all the people you fell in If you loved The Pride Series by Jill Sanders, you will fall in love with this first novel of her new series that revisits all the people you fell in love with. A Dash of Love features Todd and Meghan's middle child Sara and introduces the reader to Parker. Parker had a rough child hood and came upon Pride after setting his grandmother up in a retirement/nursing home near there. He has started a new construction company that is doing renovations on the family restaurant that Sara is a manager at. Awkward first meeting and even more surprised second meeting starts the love story that carries through the book. The mystery of who is vandalizing and scaring both Parker and Sara is the second thread that continues through the book and is one that does not take over or play second fiddle to the love story, but happens right along side. Everyone needs someone to lean on when challenges are faced head on and these two people find that with one another and it is such a beautiful story to witness. I will be rereading this story when the second one comes out and makes me want to go back a generation in this world and reread The Pride Series. This new series from Jill Sanders will be loved just as much as the predecessor although this book can be read without reading The Pride series.

Watching this group find how they fit in this new arrangement and feeling the growing pains along with them. At the end of every book with Ward I am always excited and eager for the next.
Natalie’s family is changing both at work and at home. The evolution of time passing, grief changing and frankly people changing is almost inevitable, but reading how each is handling it is so fascinating. I don't think I could ever tire of this series and hope it never ends.

It's amazing that you don't easily I loved the interactions between Harry and Arya in Win Big and couldn't wait to read how the chemistry played out. It's amazing that you don't easily see past the exterior of what a person presents and how much that often hides. Both MCs are having internal struggles and each have their own set of hurdles and setbacks within For The Win. Who hasn't wanted to make their parents proud, but constantly felt like they'd failed? Who hasn't been scared, but know that they can be brave? The growth, awareness and self discovery they each make throughout has the capability to instill so much hope for the readers that can easily put themselves in either pair of shoes.
