***5 Stars*** This was a fun, sweet, smexy and at times frustrating small town, opposites attract romance. The characters were all well written and I really didn’t want to say good-bye when there were no more words to read. Owen and Harper. I gotta say, I loved Owen. He’s a bit of a recluse and definitely doesn’t like anyone nosing about in his business, but the man has a heart of gold. Harper is feisty. She speaks her mind, is open to trying new things and is driven and has that “thing” about her that draws people to her in any situation.  Their journey is definitely a unique one and I will readily admit to saying “Seriously?!?” when it came to the whole Vegas marriage/annulment situation, because on one side of the situation, I totally got it, the other side…ehhh…it took a minute to realize that yes, that could happen. But once I moved past that issue, I really loved watching Owen and Harper fall for each other. They are opposite in so many ways, but they fit. They had chemistry ...

She’s about to teach him a lesson he won’t soon forget. Folk Around and Find out, an opposites attract, single parent contemporary romance set in a small town from New York Times bestselling author Penny Reid is out now! He needs to get her out of his system. Just once... Hank Weller doesn’t help people. He leaves that do-gooder nonsense to his best friend, Beau Winston. Hank does what he wants, when he wants, with whomever he wants—and Hank does not want to hire Charlotte Mitchell to be an exotic dancer at his club, The Pink Pony. Sure, he can’t help noticing the dips and curves of her, how shrewd, smart, and funny she is, the fire in her hazel eyes. He's always noticed. She’d probably draw a crowd and entice the regulars. But after Charlotte's messy, public divorce made Hank’s club out to be the culprit—and made her the single mother of four kids—he doesn’t need or want any additional bad press courtesy of Charlotte Mitchell. Or the distraction. Unfo...

They work and I loved them together. But… ...

***5 Stars*** After reading quite a few of the author’s books, I have to admit that a good portion of my enjoyment of her stories is the whiplash she puts my mind through with all the crazy twists and turns she comes up with. Nothing, and no one, is truly what they appear to be and I find it absolutely fascinating. With that said, this baby is FILLED will twists and turns and as this is a spoiler free review, it means I can only say so much…which is really not much at all..but as for Ruby and Wicked. Ruby is that strange mix of fierce, feisty and a little scary, but also…naive or at least blind when it comes to certain people and situations ~ understandable considering who her family is. Wicked is all kinds of protective alpha male, he doesn’t like to show it and at times it is extreme, but he cares even when he doesn’t want to. To say that these two are explosive together is an understatement and they take the saying “A fine line between love and hate” to the extreme, but they speak t...
