The Lawman's Secret Vow by Tara Randel + $25 and Big Giveaway!






The Lawman's Secret Vow

To have and to hold—

until the case is solved?

When an undercover assignment pairs laid-back Florida detective Dante Matthews with by-the-book cop Eloise Archer, he knows it won’t be easy. And not just because they’re competing for the same promotion. Now they’re living together under the same roof, and it’s getting harder to ignore his deepening feelings for his “wife.” Can he convince Eloise to partner up—for life?


I love a good opposites attract love story and Dante and Eloise couldn't be more opposite!  I loved the clash and pull between them in almost every situation.  It was great.  The whole undercover op as a married couple was fun and as Eloise grew to love the people around her, so did I.  It was a fantastic feeling of community that emerged when I wasn't expecting it.  The added bit of light suspense the mystery provided help in the all around full feel of the book.  I really liked it a lot!

The help only he can offer…

Cypress Pointe, Florida, is a long way from LA, where pop singer Cassie Branford needs a hit to prove she's not a two album wonder. But her case of writer's block could be over when the struggling songwriter meets Luke Hastings at a family wedding.

The legendary musician walked away from success at the height of his career. Yet Luke is already inspiring Cassie with his dedication to building a permanent community outreach center for troubled teens. Volunteering to help bring music into these kids' lives is also bringing her and Luke closer. Maybe they're not as different as he thinks…

Today I'm tour with The Wedding March by Tara Randel.  This book is part of a series, but you do not have to read the books sequentially in order to understand.  Each book can stand on it's own.  This is another fabulous partnering of author and Harlequin Heartwarming.

I really love when music is woven into a story and is such a vital part of who the characters are.  Cassie is an active musician stuck in a bit of a rut and Luke is a hiding musician, once famous for his songwriting abilities.  Both Cassie and Luke are struggling just in different ways.  I loved Cassie's generous nature.  She genuinely wants to help other people and keeps a mostly positive attitude.  She is easy to like and as a reader, that just feels good.

The incorporation of the community outreach center brought variety and life to this story.  The teenagers, their personalities and struggles were spot on and believable.  

I enjoyed the natural progression of Cassie and Luke's relationship.  They were both so wary in the beginning but slowly became friends and confidants.  It didn't feel rushed or over the top.  It was just a gentle and sweet story.  I really enjoyed it!

Content:  Clean, some kissing.

-I received a copy of this book through Prism Book Tours for review.  A positive review was not required and all opinions expressed are my own.

Have I ever said that I love Harlequin Heartwarming books?  Ha!  I really do.  I love that I know exactly what I'm going to get- a sweet, clean romance.

I do believe this is an author that is new to me.  I haven't read any of the other books in this series and now I really think I need to.  I'm putting them on my TBR list for sure.

I loved Kady.  There was something so human about her and her need to find acceptance and support from the people she loves.  Kady made some bad decisions earlier in life, but now she is trying to prove that she is reliable and trustworthy.  I love her smarts and her determination.  The whole florist/flowers vibe was fun!  I wish I could go to a convention like this just to see what people created with flowers.  I bet it would smell heavenly!

This book was a clean romance with a touch of suspense and danger.  It kept me interested from beginning to end.

Content:  Clean.  Some mild violence, drug use.

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

Now one of L.A.'s most in-demand celebrity event planners, Nealy's only come back for a vacation and to help with her sister's wedding—not for a reunion with her long-lost love. But the more their paths cross, the more the sparks fly! Maybe their connection isn't over just yet….,
