The Rancher's Twins by Carol Ross


She's not the country nanny he advertised for

But she could be perfect for him...

Jon Blackwell needs a woman ready to tackle the duties of a cattle ranch and two lively, take-no-prisoners twin girls. But ever since Lydia Newbury showed up at his six-generation Montana spread, the frazzled single father is rethinking, well, everything. The Philadelphia dazzler is a marvel. What he doesn't know is the secret that has Lydia on the run... 

 * Amazon * Goodreads *

Between the blurb for this book and the cover, I was hooked.  Then I started reading and wow, I was so invested in this story!  I loved it from beginning to end.

 It's always an added bonus to me when there is a little bit of suspense lurking in the background.  It's that hint of something coming that keeps me wondering when and how.  

 This story has the cutest twin girls, a kind hearted lady with so many special talents, and a duty bound, handsome rancher.  It's the perfect set up for lots of personality and fun, especially when sparks are flying too!  I loved how Lydia proved Jon wrong at every turn.  And Jon was a big enough man to admit when he was wrong.  It was awesome!

 The set up for future books in this series has me SO interested.  I can't wait to read the next book and see where this story takes me!

 Content:  kissing, mild peril

Christmas in the Cove by Carol Ross + $50 and Book Giveaway!



Christmas in the CoveChristmas in the Cove
by Carol Ross
Adult Contemporary Romance
Mass Market Paperback & ebook, 384 pages
December 1st 2016 by Harlequin Heartwarming

Nobody is going to hurt her—not on his watch

A DEA stealth mission has brought coast guard Lt. Commander Eli Pelletier home. But when he ends up aiding rescue swimmer Aubrey Wynn during her own harrowing mission, powerful emotions reignite between them. Except Aubrey doesn't want Eli's protection. She wants answers.

Twelve years ago, Eli broke up with Aubrey without telling her the real reason he was leaving Pacific Cove. How can he try for a second chance if he's forced to deceive her again? Amid suspected drug trafficking and a sabotaged Christmas contest, Eli must find a way to regain Aubrey's trust without compromising his career or endangering the woman he loves.


This book starts you right off in the middle of an adventure.  I loved that!  There was no gentle build up, just me getting to know the character in the thrill of the moment.  There were definitely more gentle moments after but I really liked how this book combined a bit of suspense, mystery and adventure along with the sweet romance that was happening.  They were all intertwined and woven together.

Aubrey is a fun character.  I love how she was so much a part of her community.  Her desires to help those who cannot help themselves really endeared me to her as a reader.  All the characters were great and I could see the perfect set up for the next book happening as I read.  That's always fun!

In addition to the enjoyable plot, this book is also set around Christmas, making it the perfect book to read this week!  I love the Harlequin Heartwarming line.  You never have to worry about content because you know they will be sweet and clean.

Content:  mild peril, some mild violence

Carol Ross lives with her husband and one loveable miscreant of a dachshund in a small town in Washington close to both the ocean and the mountains. She adores the Pacific Northwest because it provides her with endless opportunities for the activities she loves—hiking, running, skiing, and spending time outdoors. Although she enjoys reading in many genres, she writes what she loves the most—romance, especially light-hearted stories about the fun, flirty, and often-tumultuous path toward a happily ever after.

A Family Like Hannah's (Seasons of Alaska) by Carol Ross + $50 and book giveaway!




A Family Like Hannah's


A Family Like Hannah's
(Seasons of Alaska #4)
by Carol Ross
Adult Contemporary Romance
Paperback & ebook, 384 pages
February 1st 2016 by Harlequin Heartwarming

Starting over is serious business

With her professional skiing career cut short by an accident, Hannah James is putting all her energy into transforming Snowy Sky Resort into something special. There's only one obstacle. Famous pro-snowboarder-turned-consultant Tate Addison has his own ideas about taking the Rankins, Alaska, lodge to the next level. But Hannah won't compromise her dreams. She gets that Tate is trying to create a stable home for his orphaned six-year-old nephew—a boy Hannah already adores. And if she isn't careful, she could also fall for the boy's too-attractive uncle. Is she risking heartbreak? Or do she and Tate really want the same things out of life?

Amazon - Barnes & Noble - Harlequin - Kobo
I'm happy to be a part of the tour for A Family Like Hannah's.  I love the Harlequin Heartwarming line- it's perfect for girls like me who love their romances sweet and clean.

Tate and Hannah are both fantastic characters.  They both had depth and development which is something so necessary for me as a reader.  I felt like I was getting to know them through each page- not only knowing them but liking them too.  

Tate is determined to give his nephew a good life and a legacy.  He has goals and ideas for how to go about doing this.  There has been so much tragedy and now it is time for love and safety.  I loved this about Tate.  His concern, his protection and his planning.  I loved the mishmash family he created with his coach, his nephew and himself.  It wasn't typical, but it was family.  It felt good.

Hannah is strong and determined as well.  She and Tate are very alike, but different too.  Hannah has an easy way about her that makes her a very likable character.  I was drawn in by her charms just as Tate was.

This book was easy to read and hard to put down.  I was drawn in and invested in this story.  So good!

Content:  Clean, some references to drug addition and child neglect and abuse.  A brief moment of mild violence.
