Daydreams by Marcia Lynn McClure

Sayler knew that her daydreams about Bo Booker would never come true. It doesn't matter how handsome and nice he is. It doesn't matter that he even flirts with her. He's twenty-two and she's eighteen. There's no way that he would be interested in her. At least in her daydreams he's in love with her.
Bo can't believe how cute and sexy his candy striper is. The only problem is that she's so young. If only she was a year or two older.
Skip ahead three years. When Sayler is desperate for a job she seeks out Bo Booker. He hires her, but can she really work for a man she hasn't seen in three years but still loves just as much?

I love Marcia Lynn McClure books! I have not read a book by her that I haven't absolutely devoured and loved every second of it. Her romances are very clean with only some kissing, but she makes these books so sweet and heartwarming that you can't help but love them. This book just made me all warm and fuzzy to read.

The Nanny's Knickers by Wren Mingua

Zoe has had one hell of a day. First, she loses her job. Then, her fiance comes home to tell her he's sorry that's he's been cheating on her with his ex girlfriend only three weeks to their wedding. So what's a girl to do? Hop on a plane and move from the US to London. Zoe gets a job as a live in nanny to a very horrid eight year old named Chris. Her boss Lewis won't quit staring at her butt or her chest and he won't stop hitting on her. His wife Gemma can't stand Zoe because she's pretty sure Lewis is sleeping with her. Ben, Lewis' younger brother, won't stop hitting on her and using all the charm in a young man's arsenal. Zoe can't get over the fact that Ben is ten years her junior and so blatantly wants her. Well, how can you resist a gorgeous twenty-two year old with beautiful dimples? Date him. Now what should she do when her ex fiance shows up to win her back?

I thought this book was very humorous. I loved Ben and his charming antics. I loved Zoe and her wit. I learned to fall in love with Chris yet I hated Lewis and Gemma. That's how it should be. I felt with Zoe and felt the same as she for all these characters. Zoe's partial blog posts at the beginning of each chapter really amused me and I found myself laughing out loud on more than once occasion.

From Here to There by Rain Trueax

Helene decides on her wedding day that she's making a mistake. Unfortunately, or maybe very fortunately, she doesn't tell her fiance until after the ceremony. Immediately after the ceremony. Phillip is stunned that his new wife has decided to leave him so quickly. Helene goes to Montana to help out at her uncle's ranch and try to figure her life out. Her parents are getting divorced, she's getting an annulment and she's tired of everyone deciding her life for her. Uncle Amos decides not to tell Helene that before they came back to Montana from Boston that he paid a visit to Phillip. Uncle Amos has asked Phillip to come out to the ranch as a hand and maybe work his marriage out. Two weeks later, Helene starts to learn that there's a lot more to her business savvy husband. Something that makes him more like a real man.

I loved this book. I liked that the romance actually grew rather than just being shoved at me all at once. Helene and Phillip actually took the time to learn who the other was and see them for the person they are rather than the people that got married after barely knowing each other. The land was described beautifully, the writing was well done, although there were a couple of grammatical and punctuation errors. Nothing too serious, just enough to make you stop and reread the sentence again. I only noticed this a handful of times. It still didn't change my feelings for this wonderful book.

Sorry About Missing Yesterday!

Yesterday was the first time I have missed posting a review. I will tell you why and hopefully, you, my wonderful readers, will forgive me. Yesterday was my sixth wedding anniversary. For the first time in two years, my wonderful husband was actually not at work. He was very sweet and loving all day long. I loved it and reveled in it.

As a special treat for my readers, there will be two wonderful book reviews posted today to help make up for missing yesterday. I will be posting those later this evening for your reading pleasure and maybe you will find yourselves with a new book to read.

Healing Hearts by Anna Murray

Jed Rutherford is a doctor in the small community of Wounded Colt. Unfortunately, Jed has a morphine addiction. This causes him to need another doctor to help him out. He sends for a mail-order doctor and instead of getting a man, he gets Hannah Sutton.
Hannah is a bright and forward thinking doctor who has worked hard to be a woman doctor. She quickly proves herself to Doctor Rutherford and he decides that he can't let her go. He doesn't want to go back to his lonely existence. Can these two people help each other and look past the others scars?

I enjoyed this read. I did, however, feel that it could maybe have been a little more drawn out rather than being tied up in such a neat and tidy little package. There's not much conflict in the story, they both get over their pasts very easily even though the author tried to make those the points of not being together. If you're looking for an easy, sweet romance to pass a couple of hours, this is perfect for that.

There's a New Sheriff in Town by Virginia Jewel

Millie lives in a small town where nothing changes. Especially how people see her. The whole town goes by the motto "Poor Millie". When the new sheriff from New York City arrives, Gill learns why town pities Millie. Gill doesn't see Millie as being poor. He sees her as the most beautiful and special woman he's ever met. When he decides to become her friend rather than rock the boat by asking her out, he soon learns that he won't be happy until she's his.

I loved this book. I loved the charming and sweet Gill, although I do think he blushed way too much for a manly man as he was portrayed. Millie was smart and sweet and stubborn. She loves everyone and doesn't really know how to tell anyone no. The writing was beautiful. I was right there in Delta with everyone else. The secondary characters were just as fun and charming as the main characters.

Love in a Small Town by Betty Jo Schuler

Sam is going to Browning, Indiana to clear out and sell his grandparent's house that was left to him when his mother died. When he rolls into town he goes on a hunt to locate the key to the house. It was supposed to be at the attorney's office. The note said to go to the mayor's office. The note there said to go to the store called Radiance. When he got to Radiance, he couldn't help but notice the amazing pair of legs on a step ladder right before a bottle of lotion got dropped on his head. That's how Sam met Lily.
Lily is a little of everything for the town of Browning. She's also Sam's neighbor. With her sunny and upbeat attitude, she brings some light into Sam's life. What's a girl to do when Mr. Right is ready to run back to Arizona as fast as he can? She has to show him he really loves small towns. Especially Browning.

I enjoyed reading this sweet upbeat book. Lily was so happy and sweet that you couldn't help but love her and want to be her friend. Sam was charming and sweet and you just wanted to slap him upside the head to make him see what was right in front of him. This was a wonderful book to curl up and read on a cloudy afternoon.
