   Finally peace in Faithful.     It's been a long journey since we were introduced to Ester and the lovely people of Faithful, Tennessee. But it's finally the end of the road, and there's peace in Faithful. Or so they thought. Barker wraps up this trilogy  with one last stand. The suspense builds flawlessly until the battle that will finally give Ester her peace and her freedom from the demons of their past.    Though this book is part of a trilogy, Barker does a good job a catching up Essie's backstory in the book. I think this novel will standalone but you will want to know more about the residents of Faithful, so I suggest reading them in order.    Warnings for the Faithful Peace are a little different from the rest of the series.  Ester has a very dark past. Though Barker doesn't directly explain the horrid things she went through, we still know it happened.  Most of the violence and sexual content in the novel is implied....

My Jinx is finally here!!!  I've been crushing on Jinx Monroe for a while now, since he was still the town bad boy in Half Moon Holler. It has been awesome to watch him grow as a character and develop into Half Moons very own hero.  Bradley has done a great job with this series. She brings the the small town of Half Moon, Alabama to life with vivid characters and their totally intertwined crazy lives. Each person in town has a unique backstory and personality. I can probably give you more town gossip about Half Moon at this point, than I can my own town. Half Moon definitely holds a special place in my heart.  And Jinx Monroe? I'm pretty sure that boy could own the whole heart.. ( Ya know, if he did actually exist on the physical plane and wasn't a million miles out of my league.)    I suppose I should stop swooning over Jinx and give you some warnings. Basic Half Moon stuff, really. There's definitely nosey neighbors, lots of F-bombs and an extremely hot alpha-...

  I absolutely love this book! I am loving the whole series and can't wait for more!    You meet Sam and Delilah in the first novel in this series as support characters.  Here in Home to Faithful we get their story and their very long awaited HEA. And Miss Anna did not disappoint me.  She did an amazing job bringing them both to life on the page and creating such vivid characters.  I love all the residents of Faithful Tennessee.     My followers know I am a sucker for the "second -chance" troupe. This couple has had a very long journey back to each other and back Home To Faithful.  Miss Anna gives us their backstory at the beginning of the book; catching us up on their timeline and also completely hooking us into their story.  And then she turns up the heat and the suspense, living up to her tagline "Romance with an edge."  For real though, edge of your seat! Faithful Series: Journey To Faithful : (Jake) Home t...

Y'all, I've just got to say, I love me some Bubba.     I met Bubba in Half Moon Holler, the first book in this series, which stars Bubba's best friend Nate.  I have been not so patiently waiting for Bubba's HEA since. And Taryn did not disappoint. I loved this book as much as the first in the series, and now I NEEEEEEEDDDDD number three!    Half Moon Rebel is such a great read. Even though it is part of a series it reads well stand-alone. You don't "need" to read the  first book to enjoy this one. Bubba can hold his own. But if you're like me and need every single detail available on your fav characters, I'll include a link to Half Moon Holler below.    I am such a fan of  Miss Bradley. She has a great way with inner dialogue and her characters have such unique voices.   The plot moves really well. I had some teary eyed moments, and some laugh out loud moments too. And the trial scenes are  intense!    ...

Taryn Bradley's debut novel, Half Moon Holler, blew me away!!!! You would never guess this was a debut. It is so very well written. It's told first person POV, and stays with the same person through the whole book. Usually, I don't care for this style but Bradley pulled it off flawlessly. Even though you only see the characters through Nate's (hero) eyes you get such a good picture of them. You can really see them, their personalities, and I have fallen in love with the whole little town of Half Moon. And Nate's inner dialogue= life.  His thought train is hilarious. Half Moon Holler is stand-alone, but it looks like my new favorite community is getting it's own series with some more of these amazing characters I just met and I can't wait!!!!!!! *ARC Review* GENRES:   romance SERIES:   Yes, Half Moon Series - but is the only one released as of now. WARNINGS:   explicit language, graphic sex, AGES:  18+ RATING:  5/5 And is...

OMG, Anna did it again!!! I totally love Jake and Laura's story. It is so full of all the things! All the emotion and suspense and love. I laughed. I cried. I cussed. I screamed. I stopped short of throwing things, other than a tantrum in Ms. Barkers Facebook group. Really, the pages flew by. My only wish was that it was longer. I could have read about Jake & Laura FOR DAYS not just a couple hours. But this is a trilogy, so hopefully we will get more Jake & Laura sprinkles in the next book of the series. I can't wait for it!!

* ARC Review*    I have been so lucky to be a part of this book as a Beta reader and now a reviewer. Vincent does an amazing job bringing these great characters to life. I love all of the characters, settings and the plot. The Fleur De Lis series is set on the Gulf of Louisiana and revolves around a group of childhood friends that call themselves The Boonies. The Boonies are now all grown-up, reuniting and dealing with adulthood.    Tangled Up In You stars Emily and Noah, first loves coming back together after death, war and a disastrous marriage. Vincent handles the issues perfectly, giving us all of the emotions and tension needed to make it feel real and hook you into the story . She also introduces us to the rest of The Boonies and sets us up to learn more about them in their own stories.   I am excited for the next book in the series to arrive. I cant wait to see how Carly finds her way. I have NO complaints about this book. Five Stars from me. ...

**I received an ARC (advanced readers copy) of this book from the awesome author and InkSlinger PR, in exchange for my honest review.**   Cristin Harber's brand new Only Series is finally complete with the fourth installment, Only Forever, live and making girls swoon worldwide. I am a huge Cristin fan and this series just adds to that and proves my point all over again. She is a master at suspensefully tugging your heartstrings, and making your fall for new book boyfriends.   The Only Series, the story of Emma and Grayson, is split into four serials. Each serial takes you through another hurdle in their relationship, and finding their forever. And each serial leaves you screaming at a big fat cliffhanger (as serials typically do,) until Only Forever. Forever wraps up the story beautifully, giving Emma and Gray the epic HEA their epic love story demanded.   I absolutely , totally, love this series. I love Emma, Gray, Cally, Cherry and Ryan. You fall for the whole fami...
