Five years have passed since Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet exchanged their wedding vows. Their love has only deepened, yet disappointment after disappointment has shadowed their marriage, denying them the children they have so desperately longed to hold. Now, at last, Elizabeth carries another child, and husband and wife dare to hope that Pemberley will soon welcome its long-awaited heir. But as the anticipated birth draws near, a fierce winter storm descends upon Derbyshire. Elizabeth’s labour begins weeks before its expected time, and the impassable roads place both physician and midwife beyond reach. Meanwhile, Darcy leads his men in a desperate effort to protect Pemberley from the storm’s fury, unaware that his wife’s confinement has begun. Mr Bennet is determined not to stand helplessly by. When Elizabeth’s labour takes a troubling turn, he sets in motion a most unconventional solution, one that challenges every notion of propriety. Read in Kindle+!

She knows which cart squeaks, which patron wants company rather than a book, and which of the atrium plants needs turning toward the light. What she has stopped knowing is what she wants. Then a colleague slides a listing for Regional Library Director across her desk — the kind Penny has scrolled past for years — and the thought arrives fully formed: I could. She applies. And then the quiet season she thought lay ahead turns out to be anything but. Her sister Jackie moves in. Her daughter is coming home for Christmas with a guest. And Nigel Blake, her new neighbor, has just plugged in a holiday display visible from Mars.

Who doesn't love when the playboy falls in love? I mean if you don't then scurry along this book isn't for you. Mia is an upcoming star with a good girl image. One she desperately wants to change. When she books as an opening act for her favorite band she meets Troy. Troy is the bad boy playboy drummer. Typical not a believer in love you know the type. Then he meets Mia and sparks fly and clothes those fly too.


I really liked this book. It was all you needed really. No big huge drastic drug out drama. Just two folks in love. You also get to see some past book couples. Read the series you'll enjoy it.

Finally my boy Raif got his happy ending. I was beginning to wonder if he would be left in the dust but I suppose it's best he's the last book.


Raif was struggling with life after Chloe. Watching his two best friends married each other knocked his world upside down. He rebounded briefly with Pippa but she's horrid. He's seeing his friends marry and have babies and he's thinking it won't work for him until he meets Grace. It becomes a whirlwind romance. Grace doesn't know who Raif is but she's smitten. They fall and fall hard but have a surprise tossed in their lap. Can their love prevail.


I'm sad to see this series all buttoned up but glad it was Raif that closed us out. I love this series and seeing everyone fall in love. Glad Raif and Grace got their happily ever after too.

I'm sure we've all said I want a man/woman who would burn down heaven and hell for me. Wren Acosta has just that in Nico. When she is whisked away against her own violation he spends his days finding her. When she is returned life isn't what she left it as. Savannah is on fire and Nico is a changed man. She must battle her toughest foe and learn things about herself that she didn't want to face.


I love Wren. She's normal and accepts her gifts with grace. She fights for her family and friends to the bitter end. Nico is the perfect alpha. I'm once again sad to see another Annie Anderson series end but I'm excited for what's next.

Daisy and Brandon have always loved each other. They kept that to themselves though bc Bran is in the band with Raif and Daisy is Raifs sister. Surely he wouldn't allow that with how protective he is with her. One night is all it takes then that night comes crashing down because sometimes men are dumb and open their big dumb mouths. Daisy heads home and resumes her life. Brandon comes back to process his undying love and together they decide no matter what they'll be together.


I enjoyed this book. It was sexy and sweet with some drama. There is a person from the past that Daisy is trying to reconcile with. All in all a good book.

It's not often you read a story about someone who's ill. They are usually young and full of life with a grand future. I wish that could be said for Hannah. She was diagnosed with an unknown condition so while she's young she certainly doesn't have much time. She has a great life with great parents on their maple farm. Life is good for her expect her impending end. It's not until she meets a mysterious stranger named Ellister. He makes her feel whole and alive. He takes away her pain he gives her some hope. Ellister isn't what everyone thinks he is. He isn't some random stranger on the farm from the bank. He's there for Hannah and not in the way you think. He finds he has some admiration for Hannah and sets out to find a way to save her or at least make her last days full of love and light.


This was such an interesting story. It also has some little ties to another series set loosely in this world. My face lit up when i realized the little connections. My heart broke for Hannah she had such a good life and for Ellister who after years finally found his mate. I can't wait to read the next book.
