Review: Loving You Always by Kennedy Ryan


"Why me?"
"My heart didn't give me a choice. I saw you and was gone almost from the beginning."
My Review: 5 Stars!
When You Are Mine left me literally shaking with anticipation!
Loving You Always picks up right where we left off in book one. With all the angst and turmoil of the first book, I expected the same in the second. Kennedy Ryan delivers in spades! She takes you through the journey of tragedy, discovery, following your dreams and second chances. This series is not an easy read by far! Have your Kleenex's ready!

I am now HIGHLY anticipating Cam and Jo's story in Be Mine Forever! 




Official Summary:

Kerris Moreton should be the happiest woman in the world: She has a successful business and is about to start the family she's always wanted. But the man of her dreams-the one whose green eyes see straight into her soul and whose gentle hands make her body hum with pleasure-is not hers.

Each secret moment with Walsh Bennett serves to remind Kerris of what she's missing. And every stolen hour makes it harder to see her future without him. But being with Walsh would betray a sacred promise and upend her perfect life. When tragedy strikes, the razor's edge between love and loyalty grows sharper than ever. And Kerris must decide where her heart will fall . . .



  



From the Author:
"I had so many people say they hated that I made them want a scenario that went against their personal morals, but they can't wait to see where we go with this. It had my moral compass spinning, too! I think for these characters, there is no true north. We make decisions - like the one Kerris made that so many people wanted to strangle her for - that we can't just hit the undo button on."

Review: In Your Dreams, Blue Heron 4 by Kristan Higgins

 Rating: 5 Stars
Amazon  B&N
“So,” she said, her face hot, “I guess I’m not your type. You get off on being a white knight, and I don’t need one. Not everyone has to be in a relationship to feel good about themselves. Some people are better off on their own.”





This story hit all my emotional buttons and kept me up late (or early) to finish it. Bullies, PTSD, clingy ex-wives, loving but annoying sisters, and a slow ride to true love. The 4th installment in Kristan Higgins, Blue Heron series, In Your Dreams, is emotionally riveting, slapstick funny, and at times very heartbreaking.
First love is hard to forget, even if he turns into a jerk, in Em’s case.  Emmaline is still recovering from the crushing breakup of her childhood sweetheart, (3 years later), when she receives an invitation to his wedding to the fitness guru he left her for. She can’t NOT go when her entire family was invited.  Jack, the all-around good guy of Manningsport, NY, is the number one suggestion of a guest to take with her to the wedding weekend.  He’s all in, in order to get out of the spotlight, in which a daring rescue had thrust him.

Emmaline and Jack’s unconventional romance was realistically genuine. Higgin’s created tangible characters. Emmaline is, on one hand, a coolly confident cop, and on the other an emotionally charged woman. Jack, for all his “goodness”, can be a real ass, even when he’s trying to do the nice
thing most of the time.


From the Book Jacket

Everyone loves Jack Holland, but Emmaline Neal needs him.

Her ex-fiancĂ© is getting married in Malibu and, obviously, she can’t go to the wedding alone. In Manningsport, New York, tall, blond and gorgeous Jack Holland is practically a cottage industry when it comes to rescuing desperate women. He knows the drill, Em figures, so he won’t get the wrong idea.

What Jack needs is an excuse to leave town. Ever since rescuing four teenagers from a car wreck, he’s been hailed as a hero and the attention is making him itchy, especially since his too-pretty ex-wife is back, angling for a reunion. He’s always liked Emmaline. She needs a weekend date? No problem.

So when they wind up in bed together, Em chalks it up to red wine and chocolate cake, just one impulsive night not to be repeated. But Jack’s pushing for more, and if she lets down her guard, either she’ll get her heart crushed again, or discover that Jack’s worth more than just dreaming about.
