The Sheriff Meets His Match came to me back on October 21, 2016. I think I received a copy for following her newsletter, but I put it on my review list, read it, and promptly forgot about it.

 

I loved the cover and it sounded like a fun read. Plus, being a novella, it would be a quick one. I am happy to be marking this off my review list and sharing it with you.

MY REVIEW

 

I was smiling from the getgo. I love a hunky, needy character like Sheriff Jack, who isn’t taking himself too seriously. I feel the humor and fun will be coming in waves and it all starts when he pulls over his sexy new secretary, Laurel Thomas, for driving like a crazy person on the snow covered road…and the mystery begins.

 

I love when I can relate to the little things, like using my credit card to scrape the ice off my windshield. I left the cold for Florida and Laurel Thomas left Florida for the cold. lol

 

The descriptive writing made the scenes easy to visualize the car sliding, fishtailing on the slippery snow covered road, the deputy knocking his hat against his leg to clean it of snow, her sexy legs as she slides out of the car, the Charlie Brown Christmas tree…you get the drift.

 

He comes to her rescue, only to nearly bowl her over, banging her head, with his gun drawn. Even in danger, there is humor.

 

“Men. You can’t live with them, and you can’t shoot ’em. It’s a felony.”

 

A snowball flew…I found myself snorting, laughing through it all. I love the little details that make the story feel real.

 

It’s obvious, the story is a romance, so we will have plenty of that. It’s the journey that makes The Sheriff Meets His Match so much fun. There is danger, but I got so caught up in the characters themselves, that their personalities and antics is what I remember most.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of The Sheriff Meets His Match by Jacquie Biggar.

I have previously read/reviewed one story in this set so I am placing my review here for that book.

My review is for:
Alexander’s Blood Bride (Vampires of London Book 1) by Lorelei Moone

Alexander is a very old vampire who has a yearly Halloween Bash at his luxurious estate. Shelly and her roommate Cat go. At first Cat thought, she would be bored but she becomes intrigued with the paintings and furnishings. Alexander is immediately taken with Cat but when he tries to make a move, it freaks her out and she leaves.

One issue now for Alexander is everyone in the Vamp world wants Catherine and he has no clue how to protect her unless she allows him back into her life. A damn Blood Bride is what she is. Things could go downhill quick.

Alexander is an alpha male but also has real intentions towards Catherine.
Catherine is no throw over although she is shy.
A very good vampire story.

[book:In The Shadows: Paranormal & Urban Fantasy Boxed Set|34334099]

I finally finished this set of sexy romances. Because of sexual content, it is not suitable for the under 18 age group. For the most part, these were enjoyable stories. Some had more sexual content than others, where it took away a little bit from the stories. However, I would give the set 8 books and authors,  a 4.5* rating.

I really enjoyed this romance. It has a heroine that's running around helping family, while working for the sheriff. She uses sticky notes to help keep everything straight, while the family tends to count on her to make everything right. This is full of humor and a little bit of serious in a small town type setting. I've given it a rating of 4.5*. It really made me laugh.
