Something More Than This - Barbie Bohrman

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20849958-something-more-than-this
This is a very witty, romantic read from Barbie Bohrman. I found it at times to be laugh out loud funny, and pretty delightful.

Katy Lewis is a sports reporter whose Best Friend Dylan is her boss. I love her female best friend Mimi, who I found at times balanced out the story line of Katy's indecision between the love of the present (Dylan) and the love of her past (Connor). Mimi provided some much needed comic relief and I very much enjoyed her character. Also, the dynamic between Katy and her brothers was refreshing and heartwarming.

Connor was the boy who broke her heart, and when he returns to her life, Katy must make a crucial life choice. This story was light on angst, but provided just enough to make the story interesting. The dialogue between characters was fantastic and I especially loved the ending.

Once again Barbie Bohrman has given us an enjoyable read!

On The Rocks - Kim Law


https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26102496-on-the-rocks
On The Rocks is the third book in the Turtle Island series. Now I haven't read any of the other books in this series, so I honestly don't know if I'm missing anything. I will tell you there is mention of characters from previous books but it doesn't seem to hinder this story. With that said, I truly found this book enjoyable!

Ginger and Carter were very close friends in high school. Carter moved away, married and has now returned to Turtle Island when what he thought was the perfect life, turned out to not be so perfect. In fact it turned out to be pretty disastrous.

Ginger has stayed on the island and taken over her fathers boating business. I love that Ginger is a tom boy, and is able to take care of herself. She's at an impasse in life and tired of waiting for Mr. Right, but hoping that he's out there somewhere.

There's a lot of common ground between these two characters. I found it to be a very compelling, entertaining story and stayed interested the entire time. I will definitely check out some of the other books in this series.

The Final Move - Victoria Denault

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25366926-the-final-move
I've been waiting and waiting for this book to come out. So I did squee out loud when I saw it on my NetGalley shelf. When you love a series this much and have to wait for the next book, expectations have had time to grow and grow and grow. Sometimes this causes a book to fall short, however, that is NOT the case with this book!

I just adore this series. It's got everything, hot hockey players, well developed story lines and characters that touch your heart in the most amazing ways.

Devin and Callie had a brief sexual encounter several years prior to being reunited in this story.  Devin is separated from his wife and taking care of his young son. Callie is a self proclaimed commitment-phobe who is exactly what Devin needs. There are so many things I would love to say about this story line, but I don't want to give anything to away!

I love that Devin exhibits a sensitive side, and although it's incredibly hard for him to admit failure, I enjoyed him as a character that realized his flaws. Add into the mix independent and responsible Callie, and it made for a really interesting and engaging read.

I highly recommend this series, I personally am anxious for more!
