*`Review: Wild As Her by Erin Branscom`*

 Title: Wild As Her
Series: Bridger Falls #2
Author: Erin Branscom
Release Date: June 12, 2025



REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This second book in the series is so good. It's rivals to lovers with the perfect sexual tension between the characters. Jack has so much on his plate, but he knows Cami is his end game. He pull out all the stops to prove he is worth taking a chance on. Cami thinks everything and everything is not going her way especially when she losses her family ranch. Unbeknownst to her Jack has some plans in the works. This book has such a great sense of humor that had me chuckling along while reading. Cami and Jack's banter was one of my favorite parts of this book. Now I'm not one that likes reality tv in my romance books, but man did Erin do a great job with it. It didn't overtake the book for me and lead to some funny moments in the book with Jack trying to hide all the time. A great read that I highly recommend!

BLURB:
Losing my family’s ranch was bad enough. Finding out my enemy bought it? That’s just infuriating.
Jack was the last person I ever expected to deal with again. But he’s been back in Bridger Falls, quietly rebuilding his family’s ranch and pretending the past doesn’t exist.

The boy who left me without a word is now a gruff, maddeningly attractive cowboy with too much responsibility on his shoulders—and somehow, he’s the star of a reality TV show to find a wife.

It shouldn’t bother me. We’re enemies. Except now, every stolen glance, every touch, every argument pushes us dangerously close to something I swore I’d never feel for him again.

I tell myself I hate him. That I’d rather set my barn on fire than fall for the man who stole my ranch.

But maybe we were never meant to end—just waiting for the right time to begin.

Wild As Her is an enemies-to-lovers, spicy, small-town rom-com with forced proximity and sizzling tension. It’s a standalone Western romance with a happily ever after.

Blurb:


A second chance stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a literary agent from NYC who returns to her Southern hometown and the cowboy high school sweetheart she left behind…
I fell in love with him when I was only fifteen—tall, handsome, and so damn charming—it was impossible not to.
Years later, we got married, and I thought we’d have our perfect happily-ever-after.
But I wanted more than being his wife in a small mountain town, so I chased my dream job seven hundred miles away. I begged him to come with me, but he wouldn't leave his family's ranch.
Walking away and letting him go was the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever experienced.
But then I meet someone new and he's everything I need—stability, mutual respect, and ambition. He's my second chance at love. When he proposes, it’s a no-brainer to tell him yes.
There's just one little problem…
I'm still married to my high school sweetheart, who refuses to sign the divorce papers.
Even worse? I never told my fiancé.
Now I have to return to Willow Branch Mountain, find my ex, and demand he sign them.
When I show up at his door and he slams it in my face, I know he's not going to make it easy—especially when those old feelings resurface and I’m left making the hardest decision of my life.



Review:
4 Stars
A great kick off to a new series, but to my delight some favorite characters to pop in from the previous series. The Langstons already have me hooked and intrigued. Now typically one thing going on in this book is a hard no for me in romance, but the way Brooke wrote it made it work. Just check the content warnings to make sure you are okay with the subject. This is a beautiful second chance romance. Man who wouldn't want a Warren. He knows who his forever girl is and no one else will do even after all these years being estranged. To have someone love you that much is rare and you don't walk away from it. An opportunity is given for Warren to make Maisie see what is still there between them. The sparks are definitely still flying between these two that's for sure. This book has a great combo of heart, heat, and humor. I really can't wait for more from this series!

REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This is the second book in the series and the next Fletcher brother is up. Now Calder had me at cat daddy. For this cat lover nothing is as swoony as a guy who carries his cat Milkshake in a baby carrier strapped to his chest. I knew from there this book was going to be my jam. Plus we have Everly up to her matchmaking ways. This book also delivers on all the humor. I can't tell you how many times this book had me laughing. The banter and enemies to lovers vibes between Calder and Dakota was another highlight of this book. Also is this book is spicy! If you like your books with all the spicy steam then this is for you! Calder lived up to all the hype after learning the cat daddy tid bit. Right from the first page this book had me hooked. Definitely a must read!!

BLURB:
Alone and Looking to Bone! Loudmouthed Mountain Man Seeks Fiery Woman to Grow Old With.

I might look like a tall, tattooed, bearded neanderthal...but like an onion, I have layers. Swipe right if you like a proud cat daddy who catches feelings after direct eye contact.

All I wanted was a casual plus-one to my brother's destination wedding, but those idiots on my family tree hacked my dating profile and sabotaged my quest for the perfect weekend fling. Now I'm stuck on a tropical vacation with only my hand to keep me company.

Until I’m forced to share a room with the bane of my existence: my sister-in-law’s best friend.

Dakota has hated me for the past seven years. I wasn’t losing much sleep over her screaming rants because she was some other guy’s problem. Or she was, until she got divorced.

Being stuck in paradise with a woman who loathes your very existence doesn't sound hot, but after an unexpected moment in our shared palapa, she starts screaming at me in a different way.

What happens in paradise stays in paradise. That is, until Dakota shows up on my mountain with a proposition: be her wingman to help her regain her pre-divorce confidence.

Suddenly, Dakota’s not just the person I love to fight with.

She’s the woman I want everything with.

REVIEW:
5 Stars
Now this is the first book I've read from this series & author and you better believe I'm going back to read the rest. This author has gained a new reader! I loved this book so much. Even though it's the last book in the series and haven't read the pervious books I never felt lost. It just made me fall even more for Mae and her kids. I could hardly put it down. The depth of emotion these characters brought especially Maddy. Life has been really rough on her. It made me so happy to see Teller and his wonderful family surround her with their love and support. It's not easy for Maddy to trust, but Teller makes himself so swoony when he keeps showing up and proving himself he is worthy of her trust. The last chapter made me so happy to see where Maddy and Teller have ended up, but mostly to see Maddy living her best life. Nothing to me as a reader was more important than that to see Maddy shining so bright. Fantastic cast of characters. Loved the matriarch of the Family Mae so much. The way she gives motherly love to Maddy is something special about Mae. The epilogue was so fitting.  I can't wait for more from this author!


BLURB:
Teller Bailey is the last single son in a Montana bourbon empire. He’s also arrogant, infuriating, and unfairly handsome with his beard and flannel.

Everyone in town loves him. Everyone in town detests me.

I’m “Mad Maddy” Townsend, the only surviving daughter of Bourbon Canyon’s most reviled family. I’m also mouthy, broke, and spectacularly alone.

I’ve wanted nothing more than to get away from this small town and their opinions of me since birth, yet I’m stuck here with nothing but a trashed dive bar and a shoestring budget to get it back in business—or my mom will be evicted from her nursing home.

But there isn’t a contractor in the county who’ll return my calls, at least without including a few four-letter words in their messages. My only hope for competent help is the annual bachelor auction featuring the town’s most eligible Bailey. The prize? One project completed for the highest bidder.

I must be every bit as crazy as this town thinks to bid on Teller. The man I can’t stand will be mine until I’m ready to serve my first drink. All I have to do is not fall for his charming smile, his unyielding support, or the way his name opens all the doors slammed in my face. I’ve never been treated so well, but I know how this goes. When this job is finished, he’ll ride off into the bourbon sunset—without me, just like everyone else in my life.

*`Review: When Love Found Us by Claudia Y. Burgoa`*

Title: When Love Found Us
Series: The Timberbridge Brothers #3
Author: Claudia Y. Burgoa
Release Date: June 11, 2025


REVIEW:
4 Stars
This is the third book in the series. I didn't think anyone could beat Hopper, but man Atlas gave him a run for his money. I love Atlas' protectiveness with Blythe. My heart went out to Blythe for everything she has been through in life. It keeps coming with the hits, but her stop in the small town of Birchwood Springs will prove to be the best one. Trusting Atlas to be a safe haven for her is the top one yet. They will be tested because the trouble already facing this small town is going to get bigger. Atlas is going to make you swoon with how protective he is of not only Blythe, but her unborn baby. Atlas is the black sheep of the family, but he is in my opinion the one with the biggest heart. I was not pleased with his brother Ledger and how he was towards Blythe. My heart was so happy for Blythe because she gains such a support system that she so deserves. She doesn't have to face anything alone anymore. Oh my gosh the epilogues in this one just made my heart melt. Exactly what these two characters deserved after the roller coaster ride they went through. 

BLURB:
From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a deeply emotional small-town romance about a runaway heiress, a tattooed protector, and the marriage that was never supposed to be real—until love found them anyway.

He was never supposed to love her—especially not her baby.


I didn’t plan on ending up in Birchwood Springs.

But after escaping a brutal marriage and discovering I’m pregnant, this town—and the broody tattoo artist who swore to protect me—might be the only shot I have at starting over. Atlas Timberbridge is nothing like the world I left behind.

He’s all inked arms, gruff silence, and an unexpected gentleness that makes my heart ache.

Pretending we were married was for my protection.
A temporary arrangement meant to keep me hidden from my vicious husband.
We agree to keep it strictly business. No feelings. No future.

But the longer I stay, the more this small town—and this man—start to feel like home.

Now I’m falling for my fake husband… and terrified he’ll never be able to love me back.
Because small towns have long memories.
And secrets don’t stay buried forever.
