On Any Given Sundae - 4.5 stars

This is my first Marilyn Brant book and I just love the way she writes. This book is funny and sweet, and I wanted to eat ice cream and eclairs the whole time I read it! Lizzy (Elizabeth) and Rob (Roberto) are brought back together after not seeing each other for years to help run their uncles ice cream shop. Elizabeth has had a crush on Rob her entire life and Rob doesn't like the idea of being back in his home town. They both have hang ups from high school that they are holding onto which causes obstacles in their budding friendship. Can they let go of their past misconceptions of themselves and fall in love?

Finding the Right Girl - 5 stars
Brian finally gets his story! Brian lost his wife to a horrible disease and then he fell in love with his best friend and lost her to his brother! Brian is so hot and sweet and I'm so glad that he finally finds some happiness. He meets Tess who's funny and fiesty. Can Brian and Tessa get over their pasts and move forward together? This is an emotional rollercoaster with laughter and tears. Another winner for Violet!

Sweet to You - 5 Stars
Great addition to the series! This is Jamison and Maddie's story. Jessie kicked up the heat for this one! It was hot and sweet and sexy! It's well written with the perfect mix of humor, sex and angst. I loved it.

Jamison and Maddie have been friends for years and one day it turns into something more.

"He looked too good, smelled too good, oozed too much raw, sensual, smolder-liciousness...He was like something out of a manly diet soda ad, or maybe a magazine advertisement for feminine lubricant or ribbed condoms or something naughty but fun."

I loved Maddie's sense of humor and Jamison's sexy mouth. I also loved that we see MICK! :)

On Any Given Sundae by Marilyn Brandt
This has to be the best first page to a book I've ever read. I loved it! This is a great story of finding love in unlikely places.

Finding the Right Girl by Violet Duke
Before you even start this book, grab a fresh box of tissues and keep it close. This was an amazing story about some pretty amazing people. This Nice Girl to Love series, which also flows into the Cactus Creek series, is a must read for anyone who loves those emotional contemporary romances with sexy, ultra-alpha men. Fantastic story written by an equally fantastic author!

Sweet to You by Jesse Evans
Amazing contemporary romance about love, mistakes, growing up no matter your age, and forgiveness. Not only have I found a great new author but several series written by her.

Unafraid by Melody Grace
One sentence describes the thoughts of the main character, Brittany, and that is that no one ever loves her enough to stay. I cried a little, laughed a little, smiled a lot, and was extremely satisfied by the end of this book. This is book four in the Beachwood Bay series.

Getting Out of Hand by Erin Nicholas
The pen-on-skin note taking was genius and in the ranking with the refrigerator scene in 9-1/2 Weeks! Erin Nicholas knows how to write a sizzling sex scene and keep it tasteful at the same time. Their chemistry is sizzling and let me just say that a man does not have to be six foot something and bulging muscles to be a tiger in bed. This is an amazing new series set in small town Nebraska. This author has more than proven that she can write a fantastic series. We've only met a few residents of Sapphire Falls and I'm super excited to meet more.
