Book two in this series and I fell into it from page one, when Erin Carter decides that she wants the company that her father sold years ago that changed her life she sets out to do so but the man who owns it now wants something besides her money in return, marry his estranged grandson, a hard task but Erin is very determined to get the company back.

This is the last thing that Erin wants to do but needs must for her and she sets out to win over the playboy of the Amalfi Coast Enzo Rossetti it seems that she has got through the hardest part and that is meeting him and soon she is on his yacht and maybe this will go well for Erin.

Enzo spots the beautiful red-head at the party and he aims to get to know this newcomer to town and soon invites her onto his yacht but there is no way he will marry anyone and takes control of their time together but soon he finds that he actually likes spending time with Erin but he still doesn’t know what she is up to.

Once both Erin and Enzo come to terms with the manipulation that played a part in them meting and opened up about their pasts then their hearts opened to what truly could be a beautiful HEA for them both, this is a beautiful romance in the most beautiful of settings and I loved it, a sensual pull and chemistry flows through the pages and so many emotions, I do highly recommend this one.

We are back in Wirralong for a new series and the first one is awesome, I loved meeting Gabi Hudson and Comac Callaghan, come along and catch up with friends and make new ones.

Gabi has decided it is time to leave her wealthy father after he suggests that she marry and he has the groom chosen, this is not happening and when her best friend fellow midwife Stevie another midwife suggests that she come to Wirralong to take over the crèche for six months while she is on maternity leave, Gabi jumps at the chance it has been a long time since she caught up with her friend Stevie and with a lovely cottage for her to live in, all is perfect, and even better when she meets Texan cowboy, Cormac on the way into town.

Cormac is a cowboy from Texas but he has been travelling the world for ten years now spending the last eighteen months in Wirralong and loving it, he is a master metal worker and makes the best art work, and has done some spectacular pieces for Christmas which is fast approaching, he is booked on a flight to return to his family in Texas before Christmas but when he meets the newcomer to town, Gabriella things just might change, could it be love at first sight?

They have two weeks this should be enough for memories to keep but the more time they spend together the more they both realise that nothing but forever will be enough but can they work out a plan to stay together?

I loved this one Fiona McArthur again has given her readers a beautiful romance that is moving, emotional and just beautiful being back in Wirralong and catching up with friends was fabulous and as for Cormac and Gabi I loved them and their journey to a HEA, I do highly recommend this one, a gorgeous Christmas story.

The Stock Squad #3

Reviewed by Helen

Oh WOW what another absolutely fabulous story in this series I loved it from start to finish, I have known Policeman Porter for some time now and also Constable Amara Montrose they are two very different people in so many ways but together the sparks fly when they let them.

Amara lives by the book, she does not break rules and is always in control being with the Stock Squad has been a different way of life for Amara since she moved to Elsie Creek, living at the pub is not good but she has found a way to keep to herself that is until she sees a horse for sale at the stock auction but she needs to find a stable for the horse and this comes from Porter who has a stable at his place, could this work?

Porter is so laid back he gets along with everyone and one thing he is sure of is that he will never fall for anyone again after the last time, so why is he offering prim and proper Amara a room and stable at his place, this is sure to upset his way of life but helping other people out is what Porter does.

They find things to pick at each other from day one and then the rules go up on the fridge, so far so good but Porter does like to stir and Amara is getting better at taking it and adding to these rules but then her horse gets stolen and all rules fly out the wall when they get a tip off about the Ironbark Ball and Porter and Amara go she in her ball gown and tiara and Porter in a borrowed Armani suit.

When Amara does something she has never done before and that is take of in her rover with Porter after a suspect and they end up in danger but have they uncovered not only answers to missing stock but also a cold case that Porter has been working on?

This series just gets better with each new release MS Rowe pulls out everything with Porter and Amara and the chemistry between them lifts them to places neither thought they would ever go, hearing Amara’s story was emotional and Porter wow what a hero even if he doesn’t iron his shirts, the emotion flows and I was cheering and yelling throughout and sitting on the edge of my seat it is witty and there is danger and so much more with such awesome characters and the comradery between the stock squad grows and I can’t wait for Finn’s story it is sure to be fabulous.

I do highly recommend this one and the series, a must read.

A fabulous end to this awesome series, I have loved getting to know the Carey sons throughout this series and the last one is the youngest Carey, Knox, and come along and meet him and the woman who could have his heart.

Knox is not one for making commitments being the youngest of five boys has been good but hard and now the older boys have found the loves of their lives and their father Zeke is now a proud grandfather, but on a very stormy Christmas Eve a baby is left on Knox’s front porch he brings her inside and knows that he will need help with her and the person he thinks of first is Dr. Ramona Taylor they broke up two months ago but he needs her now.

Ramona has told Knox not to call but when he rings the clinic number she realises that he needs help and in the snow and wind she makes her way up that treacherous road to do what she can for the little baby because Knox has left her broken-hearted for the last time and she is determined to not go back, snowed in together with the baby for days living her dream and still Ramona is standing her ground even if she see that this man is determined to help the baby and the mother if he can find her.

This is a beautiful story as we see Knox finally have his walls broken down by not only Ramona but the baby and Ramona shows the strength and courage that a woman in love must show till her man shows his true feelings, this one left me smiling it is filled with emotion. Then there is the announcement that started this whole series what will be the ending announcement.

I can highly recommend this book and series it has been a joy to read smiles all round and I am sad to see the end of The Careys but good news is the MS Crane is doing another series set in Cowboy Point so I am sure we will catch up the Careys, thank you MS Crane.

I am loving this series and The Parker family, we have met Destiny River’s sheriff Matt Parker and his adorable daughter Jillie in books one and two now it is time for Matt to find his HEA and their first meeting starts with a bang, come along and get to know Ally Jones.

Ally Jones was living a life on the streets of New York when Annie took her in and they become family the best of family over the years Ally learnt a lot about Annie’s past and living life but when Annie passes away Ally is left with just her dog Teddy and a letter that requests Ally Take Annie back to Destiny River and the place that her heart belongs too. A long drive starts and finishes with an accident in Destiny River and here Ally will find life very different and maybe just might find her home and a new family.

Matt Parker is not looking for a wife and mother for Jillie but it seems that his sister and the ladies of the small town are set on finding him a wife, when Tori suggests that he find a fake fiancé for a while to stem the woman he laughs and when he is there when newcomer Ally crashes her car Matt jumps in to help and soon Ally is being welcomed into the small town and with sister Tori stepping in Ally is helping to offset the woman of the town, could Matt finally find love again?

This is a beautiful story, moving and emotional as Ally and Matt find their way to a beautiful HEA, a story of family and love and past, the characters are just wonderful and catching up with the other Parker family members was so good, the ending is very moving and beautiful and I am eagerly awaiting the last story in the series, I do highly recommend this one to any lover of a good romance.
