Taken Home by Ruth Cardello

 Lone Star Burn Series 



It first was known as Gentling the Cowboy then it became Taken, Not Spurred 


then we meet takedown cowgirl in Tycoon Takedown




and

soon to be released in a few hours

Taken Home


 Playboy Mason Thorne is nothing short of complicated. Though he was a movie star at a young age, his life took a downward spiral when he turned to drugs after losing his mother. He cleaned up his act and became a senator but still keeps his distance from most everyone—including his own father. There are plenty of women around, but most are gone by morning.

Twenty-five-year-old Chelle Landon thinks she must be the last virgin in Texas. She’s worried if she doesn’t remedy it soon, she’ll stay one forever. She attends yet another small-town wedding where the last single man her age is officially off the market, until sexy politician Mason Thorne appears. He’s the answer to her prayers, if one can pray for something that decadent.
He needs a cover story, not another lover. Chelle’s on a mission to lose her virginity, no matter what. Will he break her heart or will she heal his?

My Review

Received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Mason fits the description of bachelor in every aspect. His upbringing is a Hollywood type - money and facades. He has no relationships, he has flings.
Chelle comes from a small town where all is known. Family and relationships makes her the individual she is.
When Mason and Chelle meet they form a "relationship" that is mutually beneficial in their goals but matters of the heart may present a different obstacle.
Love this series - the strengths and weaknesses exhibited. The growth of characters. The love of family and friends.

Review Searching for Always by Jennifer Probst


REVIEW

Beautifully written story  that touches your heart - growth, compassion and love
Loved the banter between Stone and Arilyn - so funny and entertaining.
The development of Arilyn and Stone's & magnetism love was well thought out. The "rescue" & love shown to Pinky was simply heartwarming.
Things are not always as they seem. There many paths to choose and with that comes different confrontations. It's how you handle these confrontations through understanding and trust.

ALWAYS remember to .........
"Control your breathe. Control your life."

SEARCHING FOR ALWAYS by Jennifer Probst
June 30th, 2015, Gallery Books
Adult Contemporary Romance
SEARCHING FOR ALWAYS Synopsis:

New York Times
 and USA TODAY bestselling author Jennifer Probst sparks a blissful mind-body connection as her “sexy, satisfying” (Kirkus Reviews) new series continues!

She’s an expert in helping others de-stress, but Arilyn Meadows is running on fumes. Along with her job counseling singles seeking soul mates at the Kinnections agency in Verily, New York, she’s a yoga teacher, animal shelter volunteer, anger management therapist, and helping hand to her beloved grandfather. No time to find Mr. Right—but after discovering her yogi boyfriend in a compromising asana, Arilyn would rather dog-sit for her honeymooning friend Kate than risk her heart on another downward dog. And when police officer Stone Petty—radiating masculinity and bad-boy attitude—is sent to her for mandatory lessons in cooling off when the job gets too hot, Arilyn vows to ignore his seductive glances and sexy grin. But there’s no halting their sizzling flirtation—a red-hot, high-speed chase that’s breaking all the limits.

Emma Fitzgerald - OCEANS APART & Review



Nobody ever cares for second place.

Talented public relations associate, Annie Scott, knows second place well. She has never been anyone’s priority and is sick of wallowing in self pity, sick of being an option. In a snap decision, she flees her hometown of Nashville for the unknown shores of Sydney, Australia. There she can be whoever she wants to be. Perhaps, the enforced solitude will give her back her identity and kickstart a new path in life.

Professional surfer, Cam Hart, is home on leave from the Pro Tour, and in desperate need of some rest, relaxation and maybe, a little female company. All extremely achievable at his home in Bronte, Sydney. There will be women willing and waiting for him, of that he has no doubt. He’s never been a relationship kind of guy, and after his embarrassing defeat for the recent World Title, the idea of losing himself in between the sheets for some no-strings fun, definitely has appeal.

Fate throws Cam and Annie in each other’s path. Their attraction to each other is immediate. Cam believes he has found the perfect girl to distract him for a few weeks, while Annie is ready to throw caution to the wind and dive into a holiday romance. The two drifting souls soon realise that their chemistry and passion is more than they bargained for.

Cam has never wanted to entrust his heart to anyone again. But, with Annie, he sees that he may indeed want a future, a change from his impulsive and wild ways. Could Cam actually be capable of such change? Should Annie consider Cam to be more than a summer fling, or will she be bound by her insecurities and not believe him worth the risk? Will she return to her hometown, the same as she left it: alone.

About the Author


Emma Fitzgerald is a lover of words.

The way they are weaved and worked to make people and places come alive and how they can draw the reader into worlds their imagination had never even dreamed of.

Emma has loved reading and writing since the day her life was first touched with the gift of a 100 year old copy of 'Emma' by Jane Austen. She soon discovered that the written word could transport her, not only across the world, but across time.

Emma loves a 'Happily Ever After' and has found her own HEA with her amazing husband. They and their three children live in Southern Australia.

My Review 

 Annie takes a chance and leaves her life in the US to see what Australia is about.
She discovers surfing, love and family life as it should be. Cam is surfer god.
Together Annie and Cam make the journey - an emotional one.
Discoveries are made.

It's ALL about taking chances!

Wonderful story of realization and love.

AWESOME debut Emma Fitzgerald, so glad you took the chance!

Highly recommend!
