Damaged and devastated …

Detective JoElla Tompkins is struggling to make ends meet. After a routine police stop results in her suspension and her reputation destroyed, all she can do is try to keep her head above water. Her only saving grace is to help an old friend on a new—yet perilous—case. But when she meets an EMT in a bar, everything changes.

Destroyed and demoted …

EMT Brandon Fox was living large as chief surgeon at a local hospital. He had the world in the palm of his hands. But, a slew of poor choices lands him out of a job and scrounging for work as a paramedic—a definite downgrade from his surgical days. Encountering the broken detective turns his world around.

Redemption and revival …

As JoElla delves deeper in her case, it’s apparent that her life is in danger. Determined to help at any cost, Brandon refuses to let JoElla face the criminals alone. After all, her enemies are closer than she ever imagined. Now, come hell or high water, Brandon must follow his heart and finally get Justice for JoElla.

Deanndra Hall is a working author living in the far western end of the beautiful Bluegrass State with her husband of over 35 years and small menagerie of weird little dogs. When she’s not writing, she’s editing. When she’s doing neither of those two things, she’s having dinner with friends, spending time with family, kayaking, eating chocolate, drinking beer or moonshine, or looking for something that she put in the wrong place and can’t seem to find (which is pretty much everything she owns).

Review of Pause by Kylie Scott

When Anna wakes up from a coma after a car crash, she discovers life has gone on without her. Her husband has been unfaithful—with her best friend—and she’s been long since replaced at work. While her old life is a distant memory, her new life feels like an empty shell. Then she meets the stranger who saved her life during the crash, and he changes everything.

Leif Larsen—tattooist, joker, and player—has his own scars thanks to the crash that put Anna in a coma. Helping her move on from her failed marriage, and create a new life, sounds like a perfect distraction. So when he needs a new roommate, he invites Anna to begin her new life with him.
Although their lives may have been put on pause, together they just might find a way to heal.

My thoughts:

Leif is sublime. There’s just something about those Larsen men. I’ve been hoping for oldest brother, Neils, book since he was introduced in Repeat.

Leif has an emotional maturity and sensitivity toward Anna and her trauma that endears him to readers instantly. He acts as protector in the shadow while Anna finds her voice. Until her past comes at him directly. And can I just say…F@#k Ryan.

Anna has had life throw watermelon sized curveballs at her. A car accident, a coma and a cheating spouse. Yet, she handles it all without completely losing her shit at the universe. She develops a different, more positive relationship with her formerly estranged mother which is nice to read. She finds her voice and uses it to confront the people who hurt her.

She’s understandably gun shy when it comes to relationships and tries valiantly to keep Leif at an emotional arms length. But those Larsen brothers are difficult to resist.

I hoped we would see Leif conquer his demons and resolve the nightmares. I’d have liked to see a little more of Anna’s control issues and compulsive cleaning as she came to terms with her feelings for Leif.

This was a great addition to the Kylie Scott oeuvre.

Born and raised in the Rocky Mountains, Anne L. Parks has moved all over the United States with her Navy husband. Legally trained, she switched careers and followed her dream of becoming an author.

Once Upon a Royal Summer by Teri Wilson

Blurb:

A theme park “princess” meets a single dad…who turns out to be a real prince!
Enjoy the delightful royal romance from acclaimed author Teri Wilson and Hallmark Publishing.

Lacey found her dream job: playing a princess character at a popular fairytale theme park in sunny southern Florida. Her diamond tiara might not be real, but the smiles of the children she meets every day certainly are. It’s just too bad that her ex-boyfriend was never impressed with her career choice.

Henry, the crown prince of Bella-Moritz, is trying to fulfill his young daughter’s birthday wish: to be a normal girl with a normal life. That’s why they’re pretending to be ordinary tourists at an American amusement park. Henry lost his wife four years ago, and he’s been going through the motions ever since. But could a meeting with a make-believe princess lead to real love?

This enchanting romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe.

Review:

This was everything you’d expect from Hallmark.

Cute kid? Check.

Hot grumpy guy? Check.

Seemingly perfect woman? Check.

Normally formulaic characters and tropes grate on my nerves. But this is such a fun, carefree and light-hearted romance. It’s hard to be mad at it.

I mean, who wouldn’t want to be swept off their feet by a handsome prince?  Now, even with all my cynicism about love, I wouldn’t say no.

Rose and Lacey are the best relationship t come out of this. Both experienced the loss of a mother, both love princesses, both are princesses–sort of.

Lacey is optimistic and kind. She loves her role as theme park princess and excels at it. Her ‘Princess rules’ are awesome for kids and adults alike. Whimsical and good for the soul.

Lacey and Henry’s romance follows a predictable, fast paced, road. No major road blocks or exes to cause trouble. Lacey manages to win over Henry’s mother, the queen and likely will his people.

I can absolutely see this as a Hallmark movie.

The recipe wasn’t central to the book, other than it’s a princess tea type sandwich.

“I will not leave you, Mother. I must stay.” Helga cried as she gripped her mother’s hand.
“Take this. It is your legacy. It will keep you safe.” Else removed the Ansuz rune necklace from her own neck and placed it around Helga’s.
“I can’t leave you,” Helga sobbed as she fondled the pendant with her fingers.
“I’m not long for this world. You must go.” Else’s beautiful blue eyes were wild with determination. “Do you have it?”
“The book?”
“Yes. That book is all we have left. Guard it with your life.”
“Why is the book so important, Mother?”
“It tells our story. You will add yours to its pages. Continue our legacy.”
“Yes, Mother,” Helga nodded as she sobbed.
“My blessed daughter, I am at peace because you will survive.”
“How can you be sure? Have you seen it in a vision?”
“I have seen it clearly,” Else answered with a smile.
“Where will I go?”
“That I have not seen. But one thing I know for certain— no matter where you go, you will always be min datter av havet.”
“Your daughter of the sea,” Helga repeated.
