***5 ‘Always’ Stars*** This was a quick, second chance romance read packed with all the feels. All. Of. Them. That I devoured in no time at all and has me wanting to spend a lot more time in Turquoise Isle. It was easy to get lost in Cassie and Dean’s story because they felt real. Like they were two people you’d find yourself sitting next to at a bar and striking up a conversation with. Good people with good hearts, even if those hearts are a little battered and bruised. Their second chance at love journey pulled me in right from the start and as they constantly collided and danced around each other I found myself getting totally invested in them and wanting to not only find out what tore them apart, but also see them come back together because there was a pull between them that couldn’t be denied. What I enjoyed the most about their dance was that while things were awkward at times and the pain they’d been living with would show itself in bursts of anger, the angst was low a...

***4 Stars*** I don’t read a lot of books where time travel is a main component of the storyline, but then again I never thought I’d read a book where the sport of bass fishing was either, so considering how much I enjoyed that one I decided to give this one a go and I really enjoyed it. It had a good mix of humor, heart, smexyness and suspense that kept me turning the pages to see what would happen next. Traveler was interesting, in a good way. He was cocky, and didn’t bother to tone it down no matter who he was dealing with. But he wasn’t a jerk, at least not unless someone did something to deserve the full force of his personality. He has a good moral compass, even when he doesn’t do what he is supposed to. I really liked Johanna. She’s had a rough couple of years, but has found a way to at least have a semblance of a life, though it’s a bit difficult with outside forces interfering. She’s sweet, sassy and has good dose of restraint when it comes to certain people, which...

***4 Stars*** There was something about the description of this book that hooked me (I know, I know just work with me). I’m not sure if it was just the flow of the words, or what, but my curiosity was peaked and I really wanted to find out about Benson and Danni-Rose and I have to say I’m happy I took the bait *BSEG*. Break the Line was a quick read was filled with some really great moments and lots of heart. Danni-Rose is a force of nature and she and I had an interesting time of it. She loves hard and fierce, has a lot of moxie and can be an immovable wall when she wants to be and I loved that about her, but it was that wall that had me getting frustrated with her. I understood it, I empathized with her ~ hell I even got teary over it ~ but it was definitely a thing that she needed to come to terms with in order to truly live. Benson was such a good guy. I really, really liked him. He truly enjoyed his life because he got to do something he was not only good at, but love...
