"I Hope She's Worth It" by Niki Jilvontae

My Rationalization:

I found this quite an interesting read that featured Quatty, Pooh, and Tinka. Will Quatty find the love of his life? Well, it seems that is not likely as Pooh seems to be there in every way to make Quatty life miserable. It was good to see Tinka being there for Quatty but sometimes I think he should have been able to do more in this situation brought on by Pooh. I will say the ending left me at a loss in that is there some kind of twist going on where is there still some kind of payback for Quatty due to Pooh death? Well, it seems like we will have to get the next part to see how this will all come out. 

Sullivan's Promise [A Bitter Creek] By: Joan Johnston

Profile:

"Two unforgiving lovers reunite for the sake of their child in this fiery contemporary romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Surrender.

Facing the unexpected consequences of a life-altering night of passion with a cowboy she met in a Jackson Hole bar, and with her life committed to protecting endangered species, Victoria Grayhawk does what she believes is the right thing. She hunts down the cowboy, seeking his agreement that their baby should be adopted by a loving family.

Montana rancher Ryan Sullivan has no intention of giving away his own flesh and blood, and takes their son to raise himself. When Vick realizes what a horrible mistake she’s made, and wants back into their child’s life, Rye remains inflexible—because once trust is lost there are no second chances—until an attack by one of the grizzlies Vick has spent her life protecting changes everything and Rye learns that sometimes love can heal all wounds."

"Sullivan's Promise" by Joan Johnston

My Rationalization...

This was quite a gratifying story that was not only caught up in drama but also emotional, sexy, with unexpected twists and most of all a heartfelt read. Add in a little mystery with some suspense and you have one heck of a good read that will keep you turning the pages to see what was coming next. Get ready for some interesting characters as the storyline is woven in from the families of the Sullivan's Grayhawks, and the Flynn throughout the read. Be ready for some romance that will put a smile on your face. I loved how this author was able to tie this series all together answering lots of questions and even though I know this is the last of the Bitter Creek Series it still would be good to see what happens with Ryan's brother Mike. 

A Twenty-Year Difference Kindle Edition by Stan Hendriks

Profile:

"Is a twenty-year age difference too much in a relationship?

Kendrick Brown asks his grandfather Dwayne Brown what his biggest regret in life is. But in order for Kendrick to understand what Dwayne’s biggest regret is, he first has to tell him a story, a love story. It’s a sweet little love story, but there was also one big problem. The woman whom Dwayne had a relationship with in his story, was twenty years older than him! And back in nineteen fifty-eight, people did not really like the idea of that at all, including Dwayne’s father. But did the twenty-year age difference in his relationship have something to do with his biggest regret? Or is it something else?"

"A Twenty-Year Difference" by Stan Hendriks

My Rationalization:

I found this a very interesting read in that it was somewhat happy but also sad. What will Dwayne Brown tell his grandson Kendrick about his greatest regret of his life? As we read about the story that Dwayne tells, the story is a sweet love tale of him being twenty years younger than the women. At this time in 1958 to have a woman being older than the man was greatly frond on, as it was for Dwayne's father. As Dwayne tells the story he sorta left the story hanging at the end to whether he stayed married or not. I find at the end we are left with wanting to know just what was Dwayne's biggest regret? Was it the fact that Kendrick didn't ask the question to his grandfather or what? This greatly presented quite a twist to the story.

Now this leaves me just to say you will have to pick up "A Twenty-Year Difference" to see for yourself just how well this author brings this story out. And you will be able to see if you thought that Dwayne really had any regrets in the end.

Fumbled by Alexa Martin

Profile:

"A second chance doesn't guarantee a touchdown in this new contemporary romance from the author of Intercepted.

Single-mother Poppy Patterson moved across the country when she was sixteen and pregnant to find a new normal. After years of hard work, she's built a life she loves. It may include a job at a nightclub, weekend soccer games, and more stretch marks than she anticipated, but it's all hers, and nobody can take that away. Well, except for one person.

T.K. Moore, the starting wide receiver for the Denver Mustangs, dreamt his entire life about being in the NFL. His world is football, parties, and women. Maybe at one point he thought his future would play out with his high school sweetheart by his side, but Poppy is long gone and he's moved on.  

When Poppy and TK cross paths in the most unlikely of places, emotions they've suppressed for years come rushing back. But with all the secrets they never told each other lying between them, they'll need more than a dating playbook to help them navigate their relationship."

"Fumbled" by Alexa Martin

My Rationalization...

This was an enjoyable read where you could identify with many of the characters and their problems. I liked how the author was able to bring out the tuff issues that are in our sports world today [brain injuries]. We find that Poppy was strong and independent but there were flaws acknowledged as she was only trying to do what was best for her son Ace. I will say that TK did grow on me but by the end, he was very much an OK guy and their son Ace was simply wonderful. "Fumbled" will definitely be a read that will have your 'conflicted and enthralled at the same time.' I loved the ending where the hero was able to handle his life and finally realized what was really important to him...Poppy and Ace.
