I'll Stand by You (Blessings, Georgia #2) by Sharon Sala

There's no words that can express how long I've looked for a book that had every element that sucks me in and keeps me riveted. This book hit every spot. I need lots of characters that have personalities that feel so vibrant you feel as if you are watching a movie or you're part of the town and I just can't explain it. Sharon Sala did this with a magical sweep of her pen. Every character is important in this story. There's more than a heroine and hero there's a town of individuals that care, protect and love. The evil characters are put in their place and you can't help but cheer. I sighed, laughed, cried and swooned. I'm in heaven for real. What's funny is I read the intro to the series book 0. 5 Count your blessings first. Then somehow I accidentally skipped book 1 The Curl up and Dye. But I'm about to rectify that right now. I see a huge, massive, Binge read /listen in my future. This one book made my audible escape package worth it. View all my reviews #AudibleEscape

Stone Princess (Tin Gypsy #3) by Devney Perry

Once again Devney captivated my senses and swept me away to a Montana town that felt like I was coming home. Presley was a character that I really felt had layers of secrets from the first book. I loved how the Tin Gypsy's welcomed her in like a daughter and a sister. I was so curious about how she'd find her love story as I knew Jeremiah was dirt. So in comes the movie star Shaw Vallance. Like his name he exuded vibrancy like you had to stop and look again, watch, pay attention because he just caught you from the start. With his reasons for coming to Clifton Forge being a black cloud it didn't set Presley and him off on a good footing. Oh but the attraction was there from day one. I loved these two together. I hated the angst and my heart broke for Shaw yet at the same time I understood Presley wanting to heal. I just really felt so sick during the whole "Luke" phase. But I actually loved Luke... Ahh my tortured heart. Yet... We know Devney has a way of making things right! Boy that epilogue and the teaser for Noble Prince.. Ahhh I need it today Devney! 💞 5 stars again! Even through my pain I trusted you'd keep my heart safe and you did. Another perfect loyal hero..  Thank you.

Butterfly Bayou by Lexi Blake

Butterfly bayou was full of surprises for me. Starting off with a speed trap caused by an alligator this small town romance totally swept me away like sweet ice tea on my front porch swing. Based in Louisiana it definitely felt like home. Armie, our hero, was strong, dependable and protective. Of course he's not bad on the eyes either. Lila was a force of nature he never expected. These two had one million obstacles it felt like they had to overcome. I cried, laughed and had so many moments of anger. This author pulled all the feels out of my heart. I was lost in the story and never wanted it to end. I can't wait to see where this little town will take us. Safety (view spoiler)[ Armie was divorced and his ex died in a car crash. His 16 yr old daughter was hurt and is partially paralyzed. He's been CELIBATE for years. Lila has been celibate for over a year. Some small unrequited ow drama. Totally safe.

Bishop's Endgame by Katie Reus

y Add to Goodreads The final installment in this sizzling romantic series was explosive and full of intriguing elements. From the moment that Ellis was mentioned in the first book I simply wanted that mystery solved and all of the answers as to who he was and why he left. Ellis exuded serious control and restraint. At first I didn't know how to feel about his meet up with Arianna. The secrets and danger ,the fear and distrust. Well this definitely wasn't your average meet cute. No this was raw and viscous. Underneath that danger there was a rapidly simmering inferno of volatility and passion for both. I was holding my breath waiting for the volcanic explosive passion to erupt. When it did ,boy oh boy. I loved every nerve wracking page. But I adored the Sweet and satisfying conclusion. Katie does it again. Loyal heroes who always come through and courageous heroines who are not afraid of the ride.

Riven Knight (Gypsy Kings #2) by Devney Perry @DevneyPerry

Jumping back into Clifton Forge and the surprising marriage of Isaiah and Genevieve was like coming home to friends. The way Devney breathed life into these characters is just a testament of her incredible talent. There's so many secrets, layers and layers of earth shattering secrets. This couple had a mountain to climb. A fake marriage, murder, crazy enemies and two broken hearts. There's so much pain,guilt and sadness heaped into a small bud of hope that it took so much patience and tenderness to get that little leaf to reach for the sun.. When Isaiah let go and tried to give his heart you'll realize not everything is as it seems. This man, this beautifully 💔 broken man will teach you a thing or two about how hard it is to forgive yourself when everyone else has already forgave you. I never wanted to reach in a book and hug a character so much then when Isaiah shared his nightmare with Genevieve. His soul had scars and those scars still painfully wept. When he let his heart breathe again oh how much love this man had pouring from the cracks in his battered heart   Genevieve had a heart of pure grace. Her steadfast and tender touch gave Isaiah exactly what he needed.  There's a connection to Isaiah that crazy Devney Perry and her magical imagination weaves into this exhilarating story and when you realized that connection please tell me if it brings you to your knees like the moment it hit me. Probably the last time I got a shock like that was when Jacob imprinted on Renesmee 🤯.  Mind-blowing moment, truly.  I must've sat and stared at the wall 5 full minutes with my mouth hanging open.  I must be crazy but not once did it even cross my mind in Gypsy King. Not once did it even start to dawn on me till that moment.  Isaiah's past weaves a tale of tattered hearts and tragic dreams. Genevieve gives him love that adds a pure and healing chapter that goes into forever.  The way all of the secrets of so many people affected every person in some way is just so intriguing. My heart wept so many times.  Oh Draven.. Sigh.  Needless to say I loved this so much! Even with my heart being torn open and put back together.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The characters in this series are so full of secrets, mystery and life that I simply wish I could have the next story right now.
