*`Review: Unforgettable by Willow Aster`*
Title: Unforgettable
Series: Landmark Mountain #1
Author: Willow Aster
REVIEW:
4 Stars
I'm so happy that I finally got a chance to go back to read this first book in the series. I started on the third book originally. I loved Jamison and Scarlett. I felt for her because a place that always felt like home wasn't going to "hers" anymore. That broke my heart (of course I knew already), but I knew Willow Aster wouldn't let us down. Now I need to go check out the book with book Jamison's brother. That little family stole my heart! His niece Ivy is precious! This was a nice introduction to the series. We get know the cast of characters in this small town. Grinny and her group are a hoot especially Peg. Plus there are two adorable dogs in this one. How could you resist. I loved the little twist in this one. It put a smile on my face and made me think of my grandma. This was an enjoyable read for me
BLURB:
Jamison Ledger.
The hottest man I’ve ever seen.
The enemy I never saw coming.
On one of the worst days of my life, the last thing I planned on was falling into bed with a guy who literally charmed the pants right off me.
Little did I know, that hot, gorgeous man would be Jamison Ledger, the man responsible for the very tears I was crying.
A thief. The very sexy thief who took everything I’ve ever wanted—my legacy, my happiness, and what I’ve worked my whole life to attain.
Now, we have to co-exist. Working together at my family’s lodge, the inheritance that should’ve gone to me, while trying to keep our hands to ourselves after our unforgettable night together.
But as I see him more and more, I have to remind myself not to fall in love with the charismatic lodge owner who has taken our small town by storm.
There’s a fine line between love and hate, and Jamison is blurring that line.
He might have given me a night I’ll never forget, but can I let him take more of my future than he already has?Unforgettable is book one in the interconnected Landmark Mountain Series and can be read as a standalone.

*`Review: Take My Kiss by Brooke Montgomery`*
Title: Take My Kiss
Series: Willow Branch Mountain #3
Author: Brooke Montgomery
REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This is the third book in the series. Colt is one delicious hero. He is prime book boyfriend material. I loved the scenes with him and Amelia's children. It melted my heart into a puddle of goo. He steps up in every meaningful way and has patience along the way. Men should take notes! A one night stand would never be enough for these two and fate makes sure that happens. Danger is lurking for Amelia so Colt offers up his place as a refuge for the small family. I so love the big cast of characters from Willow Branch to some of my favorites from Sugarland Creek. Amelia has had a rough go in life, but this stay at Willow Branch puts her on a path she is meant to be on. The chemistry between Amelia and Colt burns up the pages. They bring all the steamy hotness. This book also brings all the heart as well. I was so happy where this book went. This story is what Amelia and her children deserved. I was hooked right from the first page and gobbled it right up. This is a book that I wanted to just gobble up, but also take my time because I didn't want it to end. It had the perfect combo of heat, heart, humor, with a touch of danger that kept me on the edge of my seat. I'm already excited for the next book.
BLURB:
A forced proximity stand-alone from small-town romance author Brooke Montgomery about a cowboy who’s ready to settle down and the single mom who’s used to doing everything alone, but reluctantly takes his help when a threat looms…
?I met him at a wedding and his Southern charm quickly swept me off my feet—and into his bed.
The following morning, I bailed before he woke up and never planned to see him again. As a single mom of two, my priorities are my kids, work, and school. Dating isn't even on my radar.
But when a man comes after my son and follows us home, we’re forced into hiding.
Staying at the house of my one-night stand I ghosted over a year ago is the last thing I expect when the door opens, so I do the only rational thing I can think of and pretend I don't remember him.
And I definitely don't anticipate him taking care of me when I get sick, watching my kids, or cooking for us—but he does without hesitation.
It’s impossible not to fall for him, especially when he helps me confront my past.
I'm not the only one at risk for getting attached to him, his family, or small mountain town. My kids adore him and want us to stay, but my life is complicated enough as it is—and it'd never work out.
Take My Kiss is book #3 in the Willow Branch Mountain interconnected series. Each one ends in a happily-ever-after with a hook into the next one, and although you don’t have to read them in order, you’ll get a better reading experience if you do.

(The Rhythm and Design Series, #1)
Publication date: May 18th 2025
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
A soulful architect. A gospel-rooted musician. A love built to last.
Rhythm and Design: A Platinum Chocolate Romance is a powerful story of purpose, passion, and divine timing.Claire Baldwin is used to building beauty from structure—dreaming in blueprints, raised among silver spoons and Ivy League expectations. Focused, brilliant, and untouchable, love was never part of the plan. Until one almost-mistake in her youth taught her the price of giving too much to someone who offered too little.
Oliver Jamison Graham, the son of a revered pastor, walked away from the pulpit and into the chaos of the music industry. Between neon stages and lonely hotel rooms, he searched for something sacred—something real. Music filled his nights, but his faith kept whispering him home.
When Claire and Oliver’s paths collide again, it isn’t just chemistry—it’s destiny. But building a life together means facing the unspoken: the pasts they’ve tucked away, the faith they’re still figuring out, and the families who’ve prayed them into purpose.
Together, they’ll navigate ambition, intimacy, trust, and spiritual alignment in a romance steeped in grace, humor, and honest love. Can two people from different rhythms create a design strong enough to stand?
If you love later-in-life second chances, clean-but-steamy romance, emotional depth, and characters who wrestle with faith as fiercely as they fall in love—Rhythm and Design will leave you breathless and blessed.

Jocelyn Hernandez loves romance books, but ever the skeptic, she doesn’t believe that they are anything more than some great fairy tales.
She’s been spending the last year working at a romance bookstore while she finishes her graduate degree. But with her graduation coming up soon, she’s not sure what she’s going to do with her life. She’s been burnt so many times by family, guys she’s dated, and even friends that she isn’t sure who to trust. It doesn’t help that she swears she keeps seeing a man that might be her long lost father. Her head is spinning with indecision, and she feels adrift with no anchor. Can she even trust herself to figure out her next move?
