A rodeo star who’s as wild as a bull…
Rodeo rider Chace Meier has had enough of hard hits, wild women, fame and fortune. He’s ready to find a new dream, and being at his family ranch has always kept him grounded. So when he’s asked by a friend to help open a distillery in his hometown, he’s raring to go. Only one thing stands in his way—the prim and proper mayor of his Texas town. The sedate and sophisticated Gretchen de Havilland has not one red hair out of place on her gorgeous head, but not even her adorably aloof attitude will put Chace off. He’s looking to put his town on the map, and he’ll turn on all his charm to do so.
…and the woman who ropes him in.
Town mayor Gretchen de Havilland has her professional career all planned out. A few more years in local politics, and then it’s on to her dream of being attorney general. She’s hoping to make a name for Close Call, Texas as the perfect place to raise a family, and her vision definitely does not include having a distillery as a draw. Rough and ready Chace Meier may be used to getting his way, but if he thinks Gretchen can be swayed by his unruly hair, taut muscles, and sexy smirk, he has another thing coming.
The cocky cowboy needs to convince the town council to rezone in order to open his distillery, and the levelheaded local mayor is dead set on her political path. With both wanting to help Close Call, can they put their differences aside and create a future for the town and each other?
I would like to thank Leslie North for writing a terrific ending to the Meier Ranch Brothers series.
Chace Meier is sexy, gorgeous and a hero who is on a mission to get a distillery up and running in his hometown BUT there is just 1 problem. The gorgeous and sexy town mayor Gretchen de Haviland is standing in his way. She will stop and nothing to get what she wants and if that's closing down Chace's idea of having a Distillery in the town, then she will do all she can to stop it. What happens when these 2 collide is nothing short of fireworks.
You have to read the final conclusion of The Meire Ranch Brothers series.

What happens when they get on the plane and then hit Spain will have you laughing in the aisles (as they say). What happens when they meet a load of Hen Do revellers and a man in a Bridal Suite will make you wished you was there.
This is the 2nd Tracy Bloom book I've read. I've found it funny in parts and felt sorry for a couple of the characters. Made me think that 1 of the characters could be suffering from a certain problem, but will see what happens in the following books from this series.
The MUST-READ book of Summer 2019

Alannah 'Lanie' Jackson is a meek but lovely woman, who only knows how to serve men. She was taken at the age of 5 years old and sold to a man for the next 15 years, no one knows what happened to her in the big mansion. Now roll on nearly 15 years later (she's now nearly 20 years old) and she is sold once again to someone else. BUT can this new master be any different to what her old master was or is she carrying on with a life as a down-trodden submissive?
This is not for the faint-hearted. You will read about certain BDSM things but with a story behind the whole BDSM facade is a brilliant mind of the author who draws you in bit by bit and makes you LOVE Alannah 'Lanie' and root for her to a happy ending. This book unfortunately will make you want more as there is a book 2 of the series and OH BOY do I want to know what happens next.
Lottie Hardwicke is Yorkshire’s answer to Kirstie Allsopp, but ten years spent raising her three children with husband, Drew, has relegated her to Saturday Girl status at the family estate agents. This is Lottie’s year; she’s turning over a new leaf and is going to make her time in property less of a borderline obsession and more of an actual career. Only, she hasn’t bet on her interfering in-laws returning to scupper her plans or her teenage crush, celebrity Tom Thorpe, arriving in the village and offering her the opportunity of a lifetime, which could compromise everything…
Can Lottie have it all? Can she be a hands-on mum and get her career back, without wrecking her marriage in the process?
I've never read anything by Lisa Hill before, so would like to thank Lisa Hill for writing an amazing novel to start this series off.
Lottie Harwicke is a mum of 3 kids and a wife of 1 husband who can never say no to his parents. So when Lottie finds out Drew's parents are moving back to the village of Clunderton, she wants to know why he kept it from her. BUT when her teen idol Tom Thorpe wants to buy Clunderton Hall, her father in law Edward Hardwicke wants all the power to himself (money grabbing so & so) and there is the part where in the paper Lottie & Tom was seen (supposedly canoodling lol) and to make Drew think that Lottie is having an affair with Tom Thorpe. But Lottie has other ideas and her infatuation with Tom Thorpe isn't what people think. Lottie wants to run her own estate agents and Tom suggests she helps his friends find a home within Leeds. Lottie thinks she's found a place, but there are complications. What is Pamela hiding and why did she come back to Clunderton? What is so special about Oak Acorn Farm? Is Lottie Hardwicke the next Kirstie Allsopp? What the heck is Edward Hardwicke up to in York?
I've loved reading this book in the series as it was nice to get a fictional character to do what Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer do in real life. Can't wait to read book 2 of this series.
Here are two things I know about my mother:
1. She had dark hair, like mine.
2. She wasn’t very happy at the end.
Anna has always believed that her mother, Debbie, died 30 years ago on the night she disappeared.
But when her father gets a strange note, she realises that she’s never been told the full story of what happened that night on the cliff.
Confused and upset, Anna turns to her husband Jack – but when she finds a love letter from another woman in his wallet, she realises there’s no-one left to help her, least of all her family.
And then a body is found…
I've never read a Elisabeth Carpenter book before, so the storyline grabbed me from the beginning. I kept stopping and starting the book as life often gets in the way, but over the past couple of days I've really got engrossed in the story and needed to find out what happened.
What happened at the cliff edge? Who was there? Who died? Where is Debbie? All these questions being asked in the story.
Annie (Anna is what she likes to be called) and her mum Debbie recount their lives 30 years ago (going back and forth in chapters of their life and what really happened on that cliff top). Who really died on that cliff top? What are other people hiding. All will be revealed when you read the heart stopping 11 Missed Calls.
