"Bride by Mistake" [Montana Born Brides Series, Book 3] by Nicole Helm

Author's Book Description : Out now from Tule Publishing! Part of the Montana Born Brides continuity–six books centering around preparations for a celebrity wedding in Marietta, Montana (each book written by a different author). (The books can stand alone, though Bride by Mistake is particularly linked with "Finally His Bride" by Maisey Yates)

Wedding fever has hit the little town of Marietta…

And Kaitlin Shuller’s groom is marrying someone else.

Worst day ever. The man of her dreams is making vows to another woman. Her heart is broken, and all her carefully laid plans destroyed. Enter Beckett Larson, her older brother’s best friend and a very good bad decision.

Beckett has spent his life trying to outrun his bad reputation, but everyone already thinks the worst of him, so when Kaitlin offers herself to him — virginity and all— he just can’t say no.

But one night together has permanent consequences, and this time Beckett knows he can’t outrun his bad boy reputation. He’s determined to make Kaitlin his bride…even if he has to seduce her down the aisle.

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars! Would-be enemies get close one night, find common ground, and end up creating more between them than they had originally planned. However, will being together be what they both want and need or will other "plans" get in their way?

Captivated from beginning to end by the noble bad boy winning over his long time secret love interest. Beckett and Kaitlin (Kate) are oil and water at times but in the end, they made one another become a better people in the long run. Once Beckett gave up on running away, he turned into a doting man who I swooned over more than once. The only thing that was hard to read about was Kate's aloofness/denial to her over feelings towards Beckett. Nevertheless, I am happy with how Kate stepped up and the ending turned out. This read definitely turned into one of my favorites from Marietta.

I highly recommend this novel to those looking for a quick contemporary romance!

"Why are you avoiding my question?" Because he couldn't inventory all the reasons he insisted on calling her Kate, on getting under her skin.
Because I can, and no one else does.
Yes, that was his secret thrill. He could irritate the polish off Kaitlin Shuller. A badge he'd mentally given himself the summer after tenth grade when he'd realized she didn't treat anyone else like she treated him. While a lot of people treated him badly, Kaitlin had stood out. Because it never felt like it was about him or where he came from or what he did, her issues with him were hers. ~ within Chapter 2

Disappointmentville: The Tiger's Protection Series, Book 1

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon: Paperback - Pages: 52; Kindle Edition - File Size: 4120 KB | Expected Release Date: December 23, 2015 | Publisher: Self-Published | Obtained: Diane Hills

"Saved by the Tiger" [The Tiger's Protection Series, Book 1] by Diane Hills

Author's Book Description : "Well, thanks for everything, but I'm not in the market for a mate right now, so you'll have to find another girl."

Working at her company's trade show is the perfect way for Sara to spend the weekend, while her ex-boyfriend packs up and moves. After finding that Angelo is into drugs, she kicked him out of her apartment and her life. Good riddance. She doesn't need a man in her future. But when a menacing thug comes to her booth looking for Angelo, a deliciously hot guy chases him away and wants to keep an eye on her.

Ryan is supposed to maintain a low profile and hunt down the leader of a criminal gang. But he intervenes when one of the gang members confronts Sara, the woman his heart claims is his mate. He tries to protect her and persuade her they're meant to be together, but she doesn't want his help and isn't convinced they're mates. Even when she sees his tiger self and they share a passionate kiss, she clings to her independence, not ready to be hurt again.

Ryan must show her his love, and prove that being a tiger's mate is a destiny she is born to follow.

Each book in the "Saved by the Tiger" series can be read as a standalone and has a guaranteed HEA, no cliffhanger!

My Book Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars, while in Orlando for a business trade show Sara finds her life turned upside down when thugs who know her ex-boyfriend come after her because of her ex's wrongdoing and a weretiger comes to her rescue. Yet, will she be able to accept his help and the many strings that includes ...

This quick paranormal suspenseful romance was an okay read with an intriguing premise. I wished I could have liked this novel more but Sara was a little off-putting in her offhand attitude. But Ryan was definitely a refreshing hero that I would love rescuing me, just hopefully not from as extreme circumstances that Sara dealt with.

I recommend this novel only to those who are looking for a very quick suspenseful paranormal slight romantic read.

Book Teaser(s) :

"Thanks, Mr…"
"Ryan. My name is Ryan."
Sara stood and held out her hand. "Thanks Ryan. Who was that guy?"
He took her hand. "A really bad dude. Are you at this booth all by yourself?"
But Sara couldn't answer him. Her breath caught in her throat. The minute her skin came into contact with his, a strange, pulsating wave ran through her body. Her legs turned to mush and her insides… like someone coated them with liquid fire. She suddenly wanted to wrap herself around this man, to run her fingers through his long, dark hair, to touch him all over.
His eyes widened, as though he felt something too, but he quickly composed his expression to neutral. ~ within the Chapter titled 'The Trouble with Men'
