This review was originally posted on Addicted To RomanceI received this book for free from Sourcebooks Casablanca in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
The Outlaw's Heart is the most newest book in the Runaway Brides series and boy I swear each book this author writes, the BETTER she becomes but especially these westerns I have just fallen in love with. They have become some of my favorites and she really is getting more comfortable in her writing and Amy Sandas really brought something new and fresh to the romance community with "The Outlaw's Heart". It was very different and unique but I would like to mention it will NOT be every person's cup of tea, I truly adored it but I know some readers have struggled so I will explain below further.
Our story starts off with our heroine, Evelyn Perkins, who we see being whipped and abused by her husband who wants to "break" her and once Eve realizes the truth of his true intentions towards her, she refuses to let him break her further and she finds a way to escape and we see her on a train heading west. But on her journey, the train is boarded and she is mistaken for someone else and kidnapped by some outlaws. She ends up in the hands of the silent but mesmerizing Gabriel Sloane. Gabe is one of few words and conveys more with facial expressions. Eve even though she can't afford to trust anyone, wants to trust in Gabe and his "friends" and even though they kidnapped her, she starts to realize they could end up being her saving grace in the end. But its the understanding she builds with Gabe that is the most powerful. But there is a husband who wants her and will never stop looking for her and she fears her love for Gabe will be tainted by her cruel husband.
This was such a heartbreaking story and from the first page you sense how hard of a road it will be for Evelyn. What I really found beautiful was seeing her strength especially in realizing why her husband is beating her, and once she realizes the truth that is where she finds her courage deep within her to escape and find a life away from Boston. Now as far as kidnapping tropes go this was so fabulous. I know I know ...its a kidnapping but seriously it didn't have the malicious intent or anything you normally get. It would truly a case of mistaken identity and this crew of outlaws aren't bad people, in fact I found them all to be quite entertaining. The story of Gabriel is just as difficult though. He is a Native American and was separated from his tribe when he was young and by the time he found them again he had changed too much and lives a life of solitude.
Now what was truly different and unique about this story was the lack of dialogue. I said it, now as one of those reader's that does prefer more dialogue, this might be strange coming from me, BUT I have never really read a book that conveyed so much in so few words and it truly hands down is credit due to this author. Both of our characters, aren't really ones to speak too much. They are more introverts and more silent. But what they convey to each other by just looking into each other's eyes is truly powerful. I really loved this pairing and their story was heartfelt and moving and even though its a very slow building romance .....you still feel the connection and chemistry and its empowering.
Overall I found The Outlaw's Heart to be a stunning historical read of adventure, intense character development, a unique match and a plot to keep you looking for more!!

Lucky Break was truly such an endearing story like this whole series has been. Now, this review will be much shorter because I forgot I hadn't reviewed it so hopefully, I remember what I need to. Now this story is a M/M love, there is something about seeing two men together in romance. I can't get enough of it. In this book, we see two people that have lived in some tough situations.
Our two main characters are:
-Shawn Matthews --is living in a not so good situation, he currently lives in his car so he can send all his money to help his grandparents. There was a scandal in his hometown where he was forced to leave. He is a cook on the Clean Slate Ranch
-Robin Butler-is a widower, talent with horses and a former rodeo star.
There is quite a bit of tension between these two especially at first, but we soon see the connection quickly form between these two. There is such an emotional feel to this book in a way that strikes a chord to the reader's heart pretty quickly. Their growth and learning to open up to each other is what is pivotal in their story. I got quickly hooked on this couple and wanting to see them overcome what they hold back and be open to love.
Overall I had a blast with this book and truly adored seeing the core of these characters and their love story unraveling was truly beautiful!!

*Contains Some Spoilers….so readers be aware”
In the newest installment of the Torpedo Ink series by Christine Feehan. I have really been in love with this series and seeing the connection with this series with two of her other series, its been pretty exciting and of course I just love a great motorcycle club set up and Christine Feehan has done a beautiful job in writing these books. Now this book Vendetta Road was a bit different than the previous books but in the end did slowly work for me. It might not work for everyone though so just fair warning.
Vendetta Road begins with our hero Ice who is out on a run with his brothers to follow a lead on a young boy who has been sexually abused but on his way to tracking the key players he stumbles across a young woman, who is so not his type —-the “girl next door” beautiful, sweet and has class. But he has a mission to complete and never expected to see the woman who has made him feel more in one look than any other woman ever has. Soleil is a woman who has almost always lived a lonely life. Her parents had wealth and when they passed she inherited everything. But now she is engaged, but her fiancée is proving to be difficult, controllingand a bit abusive and has no desire to marry him. But wonders how she could get away from him when she meets up with a woman “Lena” who offers her phone number and help if she ever needs it. When Soleil’s fiancée beats her and she overhears him in a phone conversation with the intent of killing her once he gains access to her wealth, she runs away and finds herself in a bar and meets Ice. Both Ice and Soleil can feel the sexual chemistry between them and both ironically realize they need each other. And even though mentally they think alike in how they acquire each other and end up married, they also want to do everything to make this work despite the danger that Soleil’s ex fiancée is bringing on the Torpedo Ink’s doorstep.
This BOOK was just intense and crazy at times, but with typical Christine Feehan delight….you fall in love with it. Now this is not the book I would recommend if you have never read this author before. But if you love her writing style especially in how she writes her alpha males and type of romance she delivers...than this book is definitely going to win your heart. She has done a delightful job in doing these more contemporary style romances. Now there is a small paranormal element, but its pretty light. It’s much closer to Contemporary/Romantic Suspense in my book with some darker elements at times. But I wouldn’t categorize it as a dark romance either.
Now the beginning of the story was a bit off putting and I wasn’t sure if I was on board with it completely. Both Ice and Soleil once they meet in the bar, both as it turns out plan on getting the other drunk to coerce the other into marriage. So yes this set up where they actually are using each other (even though there is a obvious liking and sexual attraction between them) BUT what I did like is that they are both doing it. So that did help but it was still an element in the beginning of their relationship I really struggled with at times What we do see is the way they really do like each other though, and the sense of family that Soleil is introduced to. Their romance isn’t the most conventional of beginning but what we do see happen with them is that sense of true connection and how they build it together throughout the story. Of course we get plenty of intense and thrilling moments with the dangers that come across the Torpedo Ink Club BUT we see the essence of this story is focused solely around Ice and Soleil and the intimate bond that forms between them.
Vendetta Road is a compelling installment that will have your heart beat faster, tingles explode all over your body and a swoon worth romance to delight in you every way!!

This was such a short and sweet romance and I was all on board for this book and boy the Christmas traditions that came into play here were just short of perfection. I got such a kick out of this author and how she portrayed the setting here and she did such a job well done especially for a novella. Probably one of the best novellas I have read in a while to be honest. This story begins with our heroine and hero, who have been courting for a couple of months. But because of their class differences, the hero has been polite and courtly but not real with the heroine so she breaks it off not thinking he is truly interested, which is far from the truth. When she gets a feeling she needs to straighten it out with him, real honesty comes into play between them and their relationship begins to blossom between them. We get other conflicts, a romance between her sister and his business partner, financial drama with her father and much more. This story was charming, sweet and so endearing I couldn't get enough. So if you love holiday/Christmas themed romances, this is definitely a book to grab up. It is available on Audible Escape if you have a subscription (which you should get in audio if you can, the narrator was fabulous)

This story was simply breathtaking in only the way that our beloved Devney Perry can pen a story. I definitely wanted to finish up the series and get the continuation of the characters in which we saw in the previous book "Clover Chapel" what I have really liked in quite a few of her books is the mix of contemporary romance and suspense. She always handles it in such a balanced way that it will work for every reader no matter which sub-genre you prefer. So let's get down to what made this story so unique and precious.
Our story starts off with our heroine, Sabrina, who is a journalist and has been working undercover to bring down a crime family and now that her article is to be released to the public and the FBI ready to take down the leaders, her life is in danger and now she is need of a hiding place until everything boils over. So her partner in crime and protector is Beau, who lives in the wilds of Montana and a man of many trades. But he takes her to the most remote location ....a true wilderness and Sabrina is no country girl. She loves the city and can't imagine waking up from this nightmare being surrounding by trees instead of city lights. But she knows she has little choice, and as Beau and Sabrina are forced in close proximity to each other, there is a chemistry that builds between them. But there is a time stamp on their time together, because at the end of the day Sabrina is a city girl and Beau is a country boy. How will this fish and bird find a nest and their own HEA? Better read it to find out LOL
What a book, I am always so impressed with Devney Perry and she is quickly becoming a personal favorite of mine. I am so grateful I discovered her beautiful stories. I was able to grab this on the "Audible Escape" package and I am so happy I did listen because this book was a true gift. I loved seeing Sabrina find her happy ending despite the danger and conflict that she faced. I did wonder how these two would end up together, but quite frankly, the way it closes the story is nothing short of perfection and I was eager for the next book and the conclusion to the series.
This story was truly interesting in the opposites attract trope that we have going on. I especially loved seeing Sabrina grow from hating the Montana mountains to craving it. Its a process of course and I found myself highly entertained in her adventures in comes to love it and boy is Beau so patient with her in that growth and process of discovering her own strength in ways she never expected. I especially loved how accepting Beau is of her character. She has some mistakes in her past that she feels highly guilty and ashamed of, but Beau never treats her other than the beautiful woman she is inside and out. He sees the strength, tenacity, and drive.
Overall I found the Outpost to be a delectable intense story that delivers on every level and will capture the heart of its reader!!

“Every time I drove away from her at the outpost, I fought the urge to turn back.
I wanted her. Every piece.
Maybe [she] could find a way to like it here after all. I was going to start doing whatever i could to make her fall in love with Montana.
If she did, I’d be one lucky man.”

There are certain rules that the six men in the brotherhood live by: Live Hard, F*ck harder and follow only their own rules. They only have their own standards to live by, which differ from society and law enforcement at times. They don't make apologies to anyone and they protect each other no matter what. Vivienne is determined to save her sister, who has gone off the deep end of partying, drugs and alcohol. Vivienne has a hard time understanding it, she has always tried to do the right thing even if she keeps a certain "side" to herself and hidden away. But there is one person that seems to see beneath the surface of her prim and proper self...Jace Kennedy. Jace lives by his own rule and will do anything to protect his brothers. But upon meeting Vivienne, he sees something in her that he is instantly drawn to. Vivienne has spent her whole life avoiding the kind of life that Jace lives, but the more time she spends with him, the more she starts to soften toward him and slowly feels herself falling in love with the "forbidden"...
Rough and Tumble is the first book in a stunning new series by Rhenna Morgan. I have to say that at first I was reluctant to read this because I never know how a author can handle change in genre but this talented lady rocked it and I fell in love with just about everything about this book. It was a quick and fast read and I read it in only a couple of hours. I adored seeing the way this romance was established. And it wasn't quite what I expected. From reading the blurb, it kinda sounds more like a MC oriented romance, that is more rough and gritty. Now it has some toughness and gritt to it but not quite in the way you would expect at all and that is what blew me away. Is the grittiness came in small ways that slowly pulls you in and before you realize it you can't put it down because the story just wraps around you in warmth and affection. The smexy scenes that this author places in this story are exactly what I love seeing in a romance. Not overly explicit at all....however they are beautifully written with a touch of poignancy to them. What was also so wonderful was seeing the bond between the six men in the brotherhood. They tease each other, play with each other and protect and defend each other. They literally have such a close knit family bonds here. And even though at first they don't bring out the "welcoming committee" for Vivienne but they slowly warm up to her. And once they do, yeah I was completely hooked. What really won me over was the way that Jace and his "family" show our heroine what it means to be part of a real family and to let herself be who she wants to be and not what is "expected".
Rhenna Morgan has created six bad boys that are sexy and charming as hell and I only want "MORE"!! If you want a refreshing and stimulating bad boy romance....then Rough and Tumble is your ticket. So come and enjoy this entertaining show.
Interesting cover, it definitely portrays the 'bad boy" image but it has a slight cartoonish feel to it almost. Maybe its just me, but I love the warm woodsy colors used.
Rough and Tumble is a fresh and exciting bad boy romance that is packed with sizzling chemistry, endearing characters and a love story to tug at the heart strings. A TRUE PLEASURE TO READ

Cowboy Bold is the first book in the Longhorn Canyon series that we have from Carolyn Brown. This author I have really started to enjoy more and more, especially in her audio formats. She always has such fantastic narrators and they just really work for me in every way. What is great about this author is how she writes and implements the western culture and the small town settings. They are just the best in some unique ways in their portrayal of what I love most about small towns.
The story sets off with our heroine who has come to the ranch for a job until she goes to the city to begin anew. She has recently lost her parents and had to sell the farm in doing so. But when she comes for this job where she will be working with Cabe who runs a program for struggling kids to help incorporate strong principles of hard work, accountability and some fun. As Cade and Rhetta start to work together here in this camp for kids, a connection forms between them, however, they begin to see that life just isn’t going to be as simple as they imagined, when their powerful chemistry builds into something more. Both of them have different paths but will they be able to overcome the trauma of their past and fight for what they have together....
Cowboy Bold was such a heartfelt book that had me in my feels completely. I just couldn’t get enough of this story and how much it portrayed from beginning to end. The characters were all so full of life and captures you in such a unique way. This is definitely my favorite book from this author, I love it dearly. There was many elements that I guarantee will capture your attention, I loved the family connections between everyone. These kids that are incorporated....my goodness I love them all in their own way. They all have their issues and it broke my heart but we so so many realistic elements that affect so many kids today that we all need to be aware of. I really loved the issues that this author addresses here and I was very fascinated by her mix of plots that are formulated in this story.
The romance that develops between Cade and Rhetta is pretty powerful, I have to say I was IN TEARS so many times in this book because of their powerful connection that they have together. I definitely won’t be forgetting them anytime soon and their story was so emotional because it was so they were both fighting off their feelings for each other but that love happened anyway no matter how hard they fought it but it was most empowering at the end, seeing them put the relationship as the priority in their lives and learn to not let certain opportunities pass you by even if they are unexpected.
Overall I was astounded by this story and everything that Carolyn Brown put together to emulate such a beautiful penned romance that tugged at my heartstring. SIMPLY PHENOMENAL

The story sets off with our heroine who has come to the ranch for a job until she goes to the city to begin anew. She has recently lost her parents and had to sell the farm in doing so. But when she comes for this job where she will be working with Cabe who runs a program for struggling kids to help incorporate strong principles of hard work, accountability and some fun. As Cade and Rhetta start to work together here in this camp for kids, a connection forms between them, however, they begin to see that life just isn’t going to be as simple as they imagined, when their powerful chemistry builds into something more. Both of them have different paths but will they be able to overcome the trauma of their past and fight for what they have together....
Cowboy Bold was such a heartfelt book that had me in my feels completely. I just couldn’t get enough of this story and how much it portrayed from beginning to end. The characters were all so full of life and captures you in such a unique way. This is definitely my favorite book from this author, I love it dearly. There was many elements that I guarantee will capture your attention, I loved the family connections between everyone. These kids that are incorporated....my goodness I love them all in their own way. They all have their issues and it broke my heart but we so so many realistic elements that affect so many kids today that we all need to be aware of. I really loved the issues that this author addresses here and I was very fascinated by her mix of plots that are formulated in this story.
The romance that develops between Cade and Rhetta is pretty powerful, I have to say I was IN TEARS so many times in this book because of their powerful connection that they have together. I definitely won’t be forgetting them anytime soon and their story was so emotional because it was so they were both fighting off their feelings for each other but that love happened anyway no matter how hard they fought it but it was most empowering at the end, seeing them put the relationship as the priority in their lives and learn to not let certain opportunities pass you by even if they are unexpected.
Overall I was astounded by this story and everything that Carolyn Brown put together to emulate such a beautiful penned romance that tugged at my heartstring. SIMPLY PHENOMENAL
