Rogue's Son by Darcy Flynn is a book that will draw you in deeper and deeper as you read until you can't put it down.  Ms. Flynn has given us a book that is well-written and packed it with amazing, lovable characters.  Kit is struggling to keep her family's B&B solvent.  Sam has opened a lodge on the neighboring ranch but he needs something from Kit to open his resort to capacity.  Their story is full of drama, humor and sizzle.  I enjoyed reading Rogue's Son and look forward to reading more from Darcy Flynn in the future.  Rogue's Son is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

I voluntarily read a print copy of this book.

Another month went by way to fast. But at least I seem to have gotten my reading rhythm back. I hope I can keep it up and maybe add a few extra next month, so I can hopefully get my reading goal for 2015 done :p 

All in all it was an okay month for October, I had a few review copies that I got done which got me caught up so far .

I don't have a plan for November yet, just read what ever falls in my lap and or been sitting here for a while. 

Okay now to my October round-up, the buy links can be found in the reviews that I also linked. 

Thanks for stopping by and as always: Happy Reading :) 

Every Last Breath by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Synopsis:

Every choice has consequences—but seventeen-year-old Layla faces tougher choices than most. Light or darkness. Wickedly sexy demon prince Roth, or Zayne, the gorgeous, protective Warden she never thought could be hers. Hardest of all, Layla has to decide which side of herself to trust.

Layla has a new problem, too. A Lilin—the deadliest of demons—has been unleashed, wreaking havoc on those around her…including her best friend. To keep Sam from a fate much, much worse than death, Layla must strike a deal with the enemy while saving her city—and her race—from destruction.

Torn between two worlds and two different boys, Layla has no certainties, least of all survival, especially when an old bargain comes back to haunt them all. But sometimes, when secrets are everywhere and the truth seems unknowable, you have to listen to your heart, pick a side—and then fight like hell…

Cowboy Proud by

Synopsis:

Cade Covington is struggling with turning his family’s beloved ranch into a tourist attraction. It’s not just the mortgage big enough to choke a horse, or the invasion of his home by strangers. It’s also the arrival of a city slicker PR professional who doesn’t understand ranch life…and puts every beautiful woman he’s ever seen to shame. Cade wants her.

With her company on the line, Emma can’t afford any mistakes. Especially if that mistake is a broad-shouldered, blue-eyed cowboy who drives her crazy with hunger. But all it takes is one small wager and their chemistry explodes. When the dust settles, will Emma have obliterated her career…or captured her cowboy?

Gambling on the Bodyguard by Sarah Ballance

Synopsis:

He’ll guard her body all night long…

Ski instructor Ellie Montgomery hits Vegas during a romance convention to meet the man of her dreams…only, the man of her dreams isn’t the cover model she’s there to see. He’s the hot-as-sin bodyguard who catches her sneaking in the back door of a meet-and-greet, and he seems more than ready to do what it takes to prove he’s twice the man her pretty boy crush could ever be.

Jax Mathis couldn’t resist snagging a date with Ellie, but he didn’t count on the attraction being more than physical. They connect on a level he didn’t think possible—and he can’t run fast enough. She makes him want things he thought he’d never have, and maybe, just maybe, they’re within reach. But to have it, he’ll have to face the one mountain he swore he’d never climb…and with no guarantee she’ll be waiting on the other side.

Dying for a Living by Kory M. Shrum

Synopsis:

On the morning before her 67th death, it is business as usual for Jesse Sullivan: meet with the mortician, counsel soon-to-be-dead clients, and have coffee while reading the latest regeneration theory. Jesse dies for a living, literally. As a Necronite, she is one of the population’s rare 2% who can serve as a death replacement agent, dying so others don’t have to. Although each death is different, the result is the same: a life is saved, and Jesse resurrects days later with sore muscles, new scars, and another hole in her memory.

But when Jesse is murdered and becomes the sole suspect in a federal investigation, more than her freedom and sanity are at stake. She must catch the killer herself—or die trying.

Since McCabe Lodge reopened next door as a multi-million-dollar resort, her financial difficulties compound, as she suffers one cancellation after another.

My thoughts:

This was another good and sweet read for me.

I enjoyed the story and the way it is building up to their HEA. It was not rushed like you might find in other books. This seemed nice and natural.

I loved their back-story; I also liked that we didn’t find out right away what led to their parting in the first place. It gave it some suspense.

Both characters were very likable and easy to relate to, which is always a plus for me.

I liked Kit, she is sweet, funny and caring but she also can hold a grudge like no other. But even with that she did what was right for the people around her.

Sam, was just sweet and I enjoyed him a lot. I really liked that he was so down to earth and sweet and didn’t seem like a rich snob.

Overall I really enjoyed this book.

I rate it at 3 ½ ★
