*`Review: Bragg's Match by D.E. Haggerty`*
Title: Bragg's Match
Series: The Bragg Brothers #4
Author: D.E. Haggerty
Release Date: October 12, 2023
REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This is the fourth book and prankster Brody is up. I knew this one was going to be a lot of fun, but I didn't anticipate the emotion. My heart went out to Soleil because her backstory pulls on the heartstrings. It explains a lot of her personality. I understand her being tired of always being the one to be there for everyone. I fell that myself at times so I definitely can relate. Brody's fun personality is exactly who Soleil needs in her life. This book is such a fun read with Gossip Girls up to their mischievous match making ways. Brody gives me golden retriever and cinnamon roll hero vibes. He is such a sweetheart and I was getting so made at his brothers for how they treat him as the baby of the family all he time and don't give him enough credit. The mysterious brother Damon pops in and boy am I ever excited for his book now!
BLURB:
I am NOT a child. I’ll show Soleil I’m a man. A man who can take care of her. Just as soon as I put out the flames from the bed I set on fire.
When Brody Bragg shows up at my doorstep with those baby blue eyes begging me for a place to stay, I can’t resist.
But he’s my roommate. Nothing more. He can strut his six-pack abs up and down the hallway as much as he wants. I’m not giving in. Not even when we end up sharing a bed after he sets his on fire.
I may accidentally cuddle into his strong arms in my sleep, but that’s where the touching ends. Brody is way too young and immature for me. I want a man to take care of me. Not a man-child I have to take care of.
Brody thinks he can change my mind. He’s going to ‘show me’ I’m wrong.
Spoiler alert – Scaring me by blaring loud music causing me to drop the pottery I’m designing is not the way to ‘show me’ anything.
This forced proximity, reverse age gap, small town romantic comedy features a woman who wants a man to take care of her for a change, a man who is willing to give her the world but tends to screw up A LOT, five brothers who think it’s hilarious to watch their baby brother get turned down by the woman he wants, and a whole town of hippies convinced they’re the best matchmakers this side of the Mississippi.

Title: Bragg's Love
Series: The Bragg Brothers #2
Author: D.E. Haggerty
Release Date: July 13, 2023
REVIEW:
4 Stars
This is the second book in the Braggs Brothers series. It's Miller and Eden. We got a glimpse of their enemies to lovers situation in the previous book. These two sure don't like each other, but they are the next match for the Gossip Gals. Grumpy Miller does have heart under all that gruff exterior. My heart went out to Eden. Life has really thrown some curveballs and hits her way, but though it doesn't truly sunk in at her first she has surrounded herself with a beautiful found family. I'm so happy where this journey ended up for Miller and Eden. I'm going to love this series so much with the Bragg brothers getting all together. It's a pattern for a bunch of laughs. I know when Brody's turn comes it's going to be the most fun for that jokester of the group. This book has the heart, heat, and humor!
BLURB:
He’s the grumpy beer master trying to expand his business. She’s the hippie gardener standing in his way.
I can’t believe him! Miller Bragg is the biggest, jerkiest grump this side of the planet.
How dare he expand his brewery when he knows the expansion will ruin my gardens. Who does he think he is?
He claims the expansion won’t effect my business. But – as I’ve explained to him a million times before – it most certainly will!
I don’t care how much his biceps make me drool or how my knees go weak whenever he growls at me. I won’t let Mr. Grumpy Pants destroy my livelihood.
The town’s elderly matchmakers have their sights set on pairing me and Miller. They got this one wrong. The grump is my enemy – not my match.
I’ll show him. I’ll do whatever I must in order to stop the king of grumps from ruining me.
Bring it on, Miller. Bring. It. On.
This grumpy sunshine, enemies to lovers small town romantic comedy features a sunshiny gardener who can’t remember where her shoes are half the time but can definitely remember how the brewer next door is out to ruin her, a brewer who’s out to prove something and has no clue the havoc his decision will wreak, five brothers who think it’s hilarious to watch their brother get tied up in knots by a pint-sized gardener, and a whole town of hippies convinced they’re the best matchmakers this side of the Mississippi.

*`Review: Perfect Bragg by D.E. Haggerty`*
Title: Perfect Bragg
Series: The Bragg Brothers #3
Author: D.E. Haggerty
Release Date: August 24, 2023
REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This is the third book and I had a feeling Elder was going to be my favorite Bragg brother. This book proved that right. My heart went out to Harmony because her backstory pulls on the heartstrings and she gets some sad news to make it even more difficult. She has the town and Elder in her corner. She's going to need all the support has she steps into the new chapter life has thrown her way. Elder with little Robin just melted my heart. I can't believe he wouldn't be a good dad because he proves he would be an excellent one through out this book. Robin's first truck ride with Harmony and Elder is quite memorable and funny. I loved the animals with such strong personalities. They brought so much fun to this book. I mean you can't go wrong with a book set in Winter Falls. The Gossip Gals are up to their matchmaker ways. This is my favorite book so far. I really loved Elder. Prime book boyfriend material.
BLURB:
I’ll do anything to keep custody of my cousin’s baby. Even marry the man I want but can never have.
Love and marriage are not for me. Not when it’s my fault I no longer have a family.
If anyone can make me change my mind, it’s Elder Bragg. Those long lean legs, sparkling brown eyes, and that dang dimple on his right cheek are hard to resist.
But resist I must. So, when he asks me out, I push him into the friend-zone faster than Lucy the llama can run.
Everything changes when my cousin dies and I’m granted custody of her baby. The second I look down at Robin I realize I will do anything to protect this baby.
Even marry Elder to keep Robin when her biological dad shows up and demands custody.
Elder thinks our marriage is a chance to start a relationship. Not likely. This marriage is FAKE.
If only I could stop imagining how his lips would feel on mine.
This fake marriage, friends to lovers, small town romantic comedy features an introverted woman who would rather spend her day chasing Lucy the llama than go out on a date with a man, a man who knows what he wants but is too chicken to go for it, five brothers who think it’s hilarious to watch their brother run scared from a tiny baby, and a whole town of hippies convinced they’re the best matchmakers this side of the Mississippi.

Title: Bragg's Truth
Series: The Bragg Brothers #1
Author: D.E. Haggerty
Release Date: May 18, 2023
REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
We are back in Winter Falls and the Bragg brothers are up! We learned about them in their half-brother Peace's book. This is a beautiful run second chance romance. D.E. Haggerty brings the humor that I love so much. I was laughing and chuckling through out the book. The Gossip Gals are up to their matchmaking ways yet again. When all the Bragg brothers get together it's so much fun. Their banter and the way they pick on one another like any siblings was one of my favorite parts of the book. Riley has a lot of work to do if he wants to win back Moon, but major props to him because he knows what he needs to do and does it. Yes, there are some bumps in the road, but so happy where they end up! I love Ashlyn and Moon's friendship. Those women are ride or die. I can't wait to dive into the next book!!
BLURB:
Riley thinks he can just show up in Winter Falls and I’ll jump straight into his arms excited he’s returned to me. Mr. Can’t Answer His Phone For Three Months is more likely to get a slap in the face.
My dream of running my own restaurant is finally coming true. Nothing can stop me now. So what if my contractor up and quit and my handyman needs a break? I got this.
But then the pipes in the diner break.
Of freaking course, that’s the moment Riley shows up. He looks like an advertisement for the Sexy Handyman Weekly with his plaid shirt open to reveal all those hard muscles while I’m covered in toilet water.
Riley needs to turn his tight behind right back around and leave, because I’m not falling into his trap again. I may have gazed into his ocean-blue eyes and fallen instantly in love before, but I know better now. He has no staying power.
I don’t care how many crazy stunts the busybodies of my quirky hometown pull. They can’t convince me to give him a second chance. I’m sticking to my decision no matter how much I long for the comfort of Riley’s arms.
But when he reveals the reason he left me, I start to wonder….
Maybe Riley does deserve another chance.
This second chance small town romantic comedy features a woman who’s been abandoned too many times in the past and isn’t willing to risk it again, a handyman who knows he screwed up but isn’t going to let the love of his life get away again, five brothers who think it’s hilarious to watch their brother get turned down by the woman he loves over and over again, and a whole town of hippies convinced they’re the best matchmakers this side of the Mississippi.

This is the last novella in the Home Sweet Holidays series. It's a very fast read for me. It wasn't my favorite, but it's a good story. Juliana and Eric are rocky right now and just want to get through the holiday before they tell her family. Let the fun begin because these two are put in spots to make them really think about their relationship. It's cute and heartfelt. Just for me personally I had a hard time connecting to the characters. I did like where this story ended up. The magic of the season was working in this one.

REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This was such a delightful quick holiday read. Piper and Scott had me hooked right away. I love a romance with neighbors though the best part is they don't realize it first. This had a lot of funny moments, but also some really sweet ones as well. There is a playfulness to Scoot and Piper's interactions which I loved. I finished this book in one sitting. It may be a quick read, but it's one that does pack a punch. Like I said a fun holiday romance that had me gobbling up the pages.
BLURB:
Holiday magic helps two oblivious neighbors discover just how close they are in bestselling author Rosie Danan’s cheerful short story about big comedy, small tragedies, and the gifts found in between.
When stand-up comedian Piper has a panic attack outside the club, it’s not funny. But Scott, a handsome ER doctor from the crowd, gives her something to smile about as he calms her down. Turns out they’re neighbors—they just don’t know it yet. When Christmas Eve presents an opportunity for them to get even closer, Scott and Piper realize they share much more than just a wall.
Rosie Danan’s All Wrapped Up in You is part of Home Sweet Holidays, a cookie-sweet collection of holiday romances sure to bring color to your cheeks. Read or listen to each story in a single heart-fluttering sitting. And to fully immerse yourself in the charm of the season, don’t miss a special message from each of our holiday heroes!
