Coming Apart at the Seams is beauty personified. Not because of the way it ends, but the detours it hits along the way. Nick and Teagan are not the definition of perfect. Beneath their glamourous lives and their burgeoning romance are some painful scabs, just waiting to be exposed. However, it's the imperfections that make them a perfect fit for each other. Lucas' voice carries a vulnerability that makes it easy to love these people, even in the most of unlovable moments. Sutton has written a sonnet that turns a beautiful tragedy into a happily ever after.

 

 

 

All The Right Places by Jenna Sutton is a fabulous contemporary romance.  Ms. Sutton has provided readers with a well-written book.  The characters are outstanding and just plain lovable.  Amelia is a designer enlisted to help save the women's branch of Riley O'Brien & Co.  Quinn is the acting CEO of Riley O'Brien & Co while his father is fighting cancer.  Amelia and Quinn's story is packed with drama, humor and sizzle.  This book captured me at Badonkadonk and didn't turn me loose until the end.  I totally enjoyed reading All The Right Places and look forward to reading more from Jenna Sutton in the future.  All The Right Places is book 1 of the Riley O'Brien & Co Series but can be read as a standalone.  This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

Every now and again, you read a book frustrates you… but you love it! That is this book for me!! “Barreled Over” is about Ava Grace, one of country music’s biggest stars, and Jonah Beck (known to friends and family as Beck), son of the family that is synonymous with bourbon. While Ava Grace is battling her record company who wants her top broaden her fan base of just women, with wacky ideas of how to do that, Beck is trying to make a name for himself. Together, they can help each other, and find love at the same time!

Everything about this story is adorable and funny, with great characters. While the two main characters have some not-so-great things in their in past and I understand why they are the way they are, I found myself almost liking the secondary characters more than the main characters. As this is my first book by this author, it felt as though I should already know some of the characters. It didn’t detract from the story, but it did make me wonder if I was missing out.

The chemistry between Ava Grace and Beck is wonderful. They have great banter and the chemistry is instant. What I loved about this book is the bourbon lessons you get! I know it’s not the point of this book, nor is it meant to be the focus, but I thought it was fascinating and a nice addition to the story. With Ava Lucas's narration bringing this story to life, you couldn't go wrong. I am intrigued to see where this series will go, as I enjoyed getting to know Ava Grace and Beck.

Tessa had been notified by doctor Barehon they had found a match for her. He provided only three details- male, 31 years old, and in perfect health. The man would give her a large part of his liver was Prince Leo of Alsania. Tessa had been in the hospital for twenty two miserable days and and she looked even worse .

Book Two- Royal Catch

She is going on her first trip away with Zac her boyfriend that she had been dating a couple of months  now. The next step to their relationship is sex. Cassie isn’t sure she is ready yet, Marco had just returned from Germany on child trafficking. Marco and Cassie both loved kids. Cassie is a second grade teacher.  At the masquerade ball the person Marco wants to be there isn’t there which is Cassie. He hates the fact that Zac had the right to touch Cassie Marcus had fantasized about Cassie since the day he met her. It had already been a year and Marco has been celibate.As Marco thinks about Zac and Cassie, lust, jealousy. And rage swirl in Marco’s mind. Marco is not sure he ever felt this crazy and certainly not about a woman. Marco never thought he would be in the position of wanting a woman who has no interest in him other than being a friend. Cassie had broke up with Zac as for the third time he canceled their plans for work and he told her work was more important to him. Cassie then decided to go to the ball as a bumble bee.  Cassie had been feeling down when she felt the wolf was already gone. Cassie had sex with Marco as she thought he looked like Marco who she

had wanted for a while now. Then five weeks later she found out she was pregnant. Cassie and Marco were camp counsellors together and spent a lot of time together. One night Cassie told Marco about the one night stand-Wolf and Marco realizes he is the father of Cassie’s baby and what a mess he had made. Now he has to fix things but how?

I loved both of these books. I couldn’t pick a favorite. I do think I may have a new favorite  romance author and hope to read many more of her books. I loved both Leo and Tess and Marco and Cassie together. For it to be two royal brothers with two adopted common sisters was a definite bonus as far as I am concerned..  loved the pace and the plot of both stories and didn’t want to put them down. I loved how protective Leo was of Tessa. How Leo went from a “ cold” person to the man he became in his love for Tessa. The same for Marco after his past to become celibate for a year and he thought Cassie only wanted him as a friend. I loved that Leo didn’t care what anyone said and he wanted and made Tessa his own and married her so she would forever be his. . I absolutely loved the ending of both these stories. I also loved how much the Playboy Prince fell for Cassie and had been celibate by choice until the one night at the ball and he had sex with the woman as she totally reminded him of Cassie. I happily couldn’t find anything to criticize in either book. I didn’t want to put either book down! I loved the characters and the ins and outs of both books and I highly recommend both books.
