Don't they both deserve a second chance?

Fourteen years ago, one reckless act cost Ian Sylvestry everything, including the girl he planned to marry. Since then, he has fought hard to turn his life around. Returning to his Baltimore town after serving a prison term was the first step. Winning back Maleah Turner's trust is a far more daunting challenge. From their first sparks-flying reunion, it's obvious they still have powerful feelings for each other. In fact, they might be even stronger together now. But if their second chance is going to work, Maleah has to believe that Ian is a changed man. She really wants to believe…but she simply isn't convinced.

Goodreads│Amazon│Barnes & Noble│Harlequin

I really loved the premise for this book.  One stupid mistake and everything changes.  For Ian, that stupid mistake meant prison and heartbreak.  Since his prison release, he has fought hard to become a man worthy of trust and respect.  He is a pillar in his community and his service knows no bounds.  Ian was the shining star of this story and I loved him.

Maleah is a bit more difficult to understand and love.  I'm not sure I saw what Ian saw in her but I guess the heart loves who the heart loves.  

The whole premise of the book is such an interesting one and I was caught up in Ian's struggle.  There is just something about a story of second chances, especially one in the extreme like this one.  It wasn't just a second chance at love but a second chance at life.  I think the story could have been condensed a bit- it dragged on in the middle and my patience started to wear thin but the ending was sweet and just proved once again how much I loved Ian.

Content:  Clean

On Tour With The Firefighter's Refrain by Loree Lough and GIVEAWAYS!

Adult Contemporary Romance
Paperback & ebook, 368 pages (large print)

He's a man who wants it all…if only he could have it....

Dreams of stardom took musician and firefighter Sam Marshall far from his Colorado roots. Starting fresh in Nashville hasn't been easy, especially after an injury on the job, but he's working his way to the Grand Ole Opry one open mike at a time, teaching at the fire station to make ends meet. Yet Sam's intentions are shaken when he meets the lovely owner of a local café. Suddenly, Sam's dreams are filled with her. Too bad that as the daughter of country-music wannabes, Finn Leary's been there, done that. She'll never choose a musician. So how can Sam possibly get the girl and keep the guitar?


It's another Harlequin Heartwarming book!  This is a sweet romance, perfect for girls like me who like their books clean.

 This is the third book in the Those Marshall Boys series.  You don't have to read the previous books to enjoy this one, but sometimes it fun to read in sequencial order because you get to see characters from previous books as you go and they mean more to you.

 I really liked both Sam and Finn but for very different reasons.  Finn is focused and so completely devoted to her sister.  Her life has been hard and Finn has shouldered the responsibility of so many things by herself.  You have to admire that sort of character.  But, because of her past and even her present life, Finn functions like an island.  She doesn't let people in and she doesn't trust easily.  That's why Sam is perfect for Finn.  He is solid, steady and smart.  He is willing to put in the time to earn Finn's trust.  I liked that.

 This book was good.  I felt like the plot swirled in the same place at times without a lot of forward movement so for me, it was the characters that made this book shine.

Summer Lane is no damsel in distress. For the past two years, she's been battling her way back from her worst nightmare, all by herself. So she doesn't need the fabulous former Marine Zach Marshall swooping in to save her.

But she needn't worry. Zach has hung up his shining armor. His instinct to rescue has only brought him heartache, and he's not about to risk it all again--even though everything about Summer makes him yearn to help.

Will she accept his challenge to step up and conquer her fears on her own--even her deepest fears, like trust...and love?

He can say no to everyone but her...

Nate Marshall used to be a yes-man... until being so agreeable cost him dearly. But Eden Quinn has a way of getting him to reconsider his "just say no" policy.

This cowboy knows Eden's no damsel in distress, yet hers isn't a one-woman job. If she must do everything on her own, how can he help her... let alone get her to fall for him?

I am a fan of Harlequin Heartwarming.  Simply put, I know I can read this line of books and not worry about anything popping up that will make me cringe.  I love that I can depend on the Heartwarming line to bring me sweet, clean romances.

I haven't read book one in this series, but I don't think one is dependent on the other.  Individual people, individual stories.

I am a fan of Nate.  In every situation, he is a gentleman.  He is grounded and firm in who he is and what he is about.  Nate is patient and thinks things through before jumping in.  He is at his best when he is needed and he knows this.  Unfortunately, the one person he really wants refuses to need him.

Eden is a frustrating character.  I loved Eden with her boys but I just didn't love Eden with Nate.  Ever.  Her interactions with him always left me frustrated and irritated.  She is so stubborn and mean even.  It's a complete one-eighty from how she is with everyone else.  Her on-off, hot cold attitude got old after awhile.  I wanted Nate to move on and find someone who would appreciate his best qualities.  But, as I said, I did love Eden with her boys.  If only there were more Eden's in the world, willing to give so much to help kids who need it, the world would surely be a better place.

Overall, this was a good book and a nice distraction.  Even with my Eden frustration.  All's well that ends well.  :)  I'll be looking for the next book in this series!



The First Book in the Series

Once a Marine

Yes, it's true: Once upon a time, best-selling author Loree Lough (literally) sang for her supper, performing before packed audiences throughout the U.S. Now and then, she blows the dust from her 6-string to croon a tune or two for the "grandorables," but mostly, she just writes. (And writes.) Over the years, her stories have earned nearly 100 industry and "Readers' Choice" awards, 7 movie options, and over 80 4- and 5-star reviews.

There are more than 5,000,000 (yes, that's FIVE MILLION) copies of Loree's books in circulation, and in September of 2015, she'll have 108 books (fiction and non-fiction for kids and adults) 72 short stories, 2,500+ articles in print. To date, she has received 50,000+ letters from fans (a carton of books goes to Meredith P. in Joliet, IL -- which she has elected to donate to her local library --for writing the 50,000th letter)!

Loree loves sharing learned-the-hard-way lessons about the craft and the industry, and her comedic approach makes her a favorite (and frequent) guest of writers' organizations, book clubs, private and government institutions, college and high school writing programs both here and abroad.

A writer who believes in "giving back," Loree dedicates a portion of her income to Soldiers' Angels, Special Operations Warrior Foundation, and other worthwhile organizations.

She splits her time between her home in the Baltimore suburbs and a cabin in the Allegheny Mountains, and shares both with her real-life hero Larry, who rarely complains, even when she adds yet another item to her vast collection of lighthouses, wind chimes, and "wolf stuff."
