"Her Baby, His Love" [Charity, Montana Series, Book 1] by Lynne Marshall

Author's Book Description : All Taylor Clark ever wanted was a normal life and a traditional family, but so far she’s had neither. Soon after discovering that her boyfriend was secretly engaged and she moves to Charity, Montana for a fresh start, she realizes she’s pregnant. As her new friendly and sexy landlord helps her settle in, they become friends, although Taylor has to keep reminding herself to keep her distance. The last thing she needs is to start something new.

As an ex-con, Joe Collins knows a little something about fresh starts. Despite his determination to keep his head down, he can’t ignore Taylor’s natural beauty or obvious vulnerability. In short time, a tentative friendship blooms along with something more precious—trust.

When Taylor’s ex comes to town, he threatens everything that Joe and Taylor have built together. Joe steps up to care for and protect her, even though he risks losing more than the woman he loves.

"This One Moment" [Pushing Limits Series, Book 1] by Stina Lindenblatt

Author's Book Description : Fame, fortune, and stadiums full of screaming fans are right around the corner for the rock band at the heart of Stina Lindenblatt’s steamy, intense Pushing Limits series. But it’s an epic love affair that steals the show in this opening act.

When Nolan Kincaid skipped town to chase the music career of his dreams, he knew he wouldn’t miss the reminders of his broken family—he wasn’t so sure he could forget the girl he left behind. Now his band is touring nonstop, the recording sessions go all night, and the groupies are crazed. But when he hears that Hailey Wilkins is in trouble, he drops everything.

Hailey thought she’d missed her chance with Nolan. Five years ago, the moment she realized she loved him was the moment he decided to leave. Now, when a brutal assault lands her in the ICU, Nolan flies straight to her bedside, acting like nothing’s changed. What’s a rock star like him doing, canceling shows and risking his record deal, just to nurse an old friend back to health? And why should Hailey believe he’ll stay this time?

With her attacker still at large, Nolan’s ready to rise to the occasion. He knows he let Hailey down once before, but he’s ready to give her everything, heart and soul—and he’ll fight for the chance to prove it.

My response to Logan Paul. By @rhiannonthropp | Fangirling Ms. Rhiannon "Number 1"

So ... I have been a BookTube follower of Ms. Rhiannon's for the past few months over on her BookTube account called Crescent Moon Reads. I really like hearing her view point on the books and things she likes to talk about. And though the video below probably is not one she wanted to put together it was definitely one she was moved to do because of the horrific video a YouTuber had recently put out there. So, because of how eloquently she stated her thoughts and as they are things I completely agree with, here is Rhiannon's response to Logan Paul ...

"Are You My Mother?"
by P. D. Eastman

Author's Book Description :
    This easy-to-read, must-have classic about a baby bird in search of his mother is perfect for every day!

    A baby bird goes in search of his mother in this hilarious board book edited by Dr. Seuss. When a mother bird’s egg starts to jump, she hurries off to make sure she has something for her little one to eat. But as soon as she’s gone, out pops the baby bird. He immediately sets off to find his mother, but not knowing what she looks like makes it a challenge. The little hatchling is determined to find his mother, even after meeting a kitten, a hen, a dog, and a Snort. The timeless message of the bond between mother and child make this abridged, super-simple edition of P. D. Eastman’s "Are You My Mother?" a must for baby showers, beginning readers, and Mother’s Day.

This book is available to order on :

Amazon (Kindle) USD | Amazon (Hardcover) USD | Amazon (Paperback) USD | Amazon (Board Book) USD | Shop Your Indie/Local Bookstores (IndieBound - Board Book) USD | eBooks.com (e-Book) USD

** Be sure to add it to your TBR pile on Goodreads & LibraryThing! **



My Book Review : My daughter got this as a Christmas novel (in 2015) from her Grandfather and recently (in 2017) decided to use it as her first 1st Grade book report book. She has nothing but sweet words to say about it and it was the first novel she was able to read by herself.

It's a great learning novel and it's very silly.
