Made the Grade: Secrets of Cherry Lake Series / The Jackson Family Legacy, Book 2
- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon: Kindle Edition - File Size: 548 KB | Expected Release Date: August 24, 2015 | Publisher: Tule Publishing : Montana Born Books | Obtained: NetGalley"The Secret Son" [Secrets of Cherry Lake Series / The Jackson Family Legacy, Book 2] by Joan Kilby (Note: "The Secret Son" is another name for "The Montana Son.")
Author's Book Description : A birthday card out of the blue from his estranged father sends successful Seattle marketing man Alex Chernoff on a detour to Cherry Lake in search of answers about his past. A day, maybe two, to tie up loose strings and he’ll be out of there, heading for Mexico, margaritas and blondes in bikinis.
Emma Stanhope is all too familiar with hot, rich, entitled guys like Alex. They never hang around for long, especially not for a Plain Jane like herself. No problem. She’s smart and logical, like any good scientist, and knows better than to lose her heart.
What Emma doesn’t count on is chemistry—of the romantic kind. What Alex doesn’t count on is meeting the girl who’ll make him want to change his ways. But when he learns that he’s a secret from his father’s real family, he can’t stay in Cherry Lake… even if he wants to.
Will love be enough to convince Alex to stay… for good?
My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars. Around his thirtieth birthday, Alex, receives a birthday card from his "long lost" father. On a whim, he decides on confronting his father instead of going on planned vacation. But what he learns just might be more then he can handle...Though I grew up knowing that I (myself) was a secret child of my birth father's, while Alex only knew that his father left him, I felt a certain kindred spirit to Alex and this novel. As I completely get it. I get Alex's need for validation. I get why Robert did what he did, though he might be a great guy to everyone else what he did to Alex (not acknowledging him as his son) was sucky and shitty. It hurt a bit to read those parts, I'm not gonna lie. However, I feel Ms. Kilby handled the delicacy of the plot quite well, even though some parts of the ending wrapped up a little too nicely for me.
Nevertheless, I feel that the romance plot held this novel together. Giving it a sweetness and hilarity that it required so everyone could process the rest of the novel with a lightness that would not have been there otherwise.
I recommend this novel to those looking for a serious contemporary romance.

Book Teaser(s) :
"I accept your apology."
"Sorry, did I miss something?" Distracted, he couldn't take his eyes off her sugar-coated lips. Sweet.
"For tail-gaiting me yesterday."
"Oh, that." He grinned knowingly. "That was just foreplay."
Her eyes widened and she stopped chewing as a bright flush spread across her cheeks. Had he embarrassed her? He was considering apologizing when she swallowed and took a sip of coffee. Just as nonchalant as could be, she said, "So that's what passes for sex in the big city."
He laughed out loud. "Touché."
She wasn't finished. "If a man's car is a metaphor for his penis what does it mean that you drive a tiny sports car? Your Beemer could fit in the back of Will's HiLux."
"Okay, enough." Still chuckling, he reached down to pat the retriever who was sniffing at his shoes. ~ within Chapter 3
He would be an affair to remember, romantic but doomed. ~ within Chapter 9

Made the Grade: First Love, Second Choice by Lindzee Armstrong
- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon: Paperback - Pages: 102; Kindle Edition - File Size: 3108 KB; Audible – Unabridged | Expected Release Date: June 22, 2015 | Publisher: Snowflake Press | Obtained: instafreebie"First Love, Second Choice" by Lindzee Armstrong
Author's Book Description : When wedding planner Keslee gets asked on a date by her long-lost high school crush, Bryce, everything should be perfect. But Bryce mistakes Keslee for her deceased twin sister, Jadyn. And Keslee doesn’t correct him. Talk about awkward. To make matters worse, she learns they’ll be seeing a lot more of each other because Bryce is the marketing director at the venue where Keslee’s new client has chosen to get married. Keslee knows the charade can’t last much longer, and fears she’ll lose Bryce forever when she tells him the truth.
My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, what would you do if your high school crush finally asked you out but they thought you were your deceased twin sister? Follow Kelsee to see how she handles the situation...This is a very sweet romance. Kelsee and Bryce are charming in their own quirky ways and it was nice seeing how their relationship flourishes together.
I recommend it to those looking for a quick romance to read.

Teaser #1
Bryce took Keslee's hand in his. "It's been nice working with you these last couple weeks."
Keslee's breath hitched in her throat. "Uh-huh. Like Batman and Robin or something. Saving weddings together." She wanted to facepalm herself for making such a lame comment.
Bryce ran his thumb over Keslee's knuckles. "You're definitely Batman in that scenario. You're really good at your job. I can tell Ivie adores you." ~ within Chapter 7
