ITS FRIDAY

   Good Friday all , today we are going to review an extended, re edited version of FALLEN ANGEL (Her Angel bound warriors book 2) by Felicity Heaton.

                            BOOK BLURB

 
Cast out of Heaven for a crime he didn’t commit, Lukas has spent three years searching for a way to prove his innocence and slowly falling for a beautiful mortal female. When things take a turn for the worse, he seeks solace in the bottom of a bottle and ends up finding it in Annelie’s arms. But one moment of Heaven becomes one of sheer Hell when his wings make an unexpected appearance. Now, he’s in danger of losing not only his duty, but the woman he loves.

Annelie fell for Lukas the moment he walked into her bar and she fell hard. The tall, sensual blond sets her heart on fire with his otherworldly green eyes and wicked smile, so when one kiss leads to something more, seizing her chance and Lukas with both hands seems like a great idea… until morning rolls around and she discovers he’s not the man she thought he was—he’s an angel.

Lukas will stop at nothing to prove both his innocence and his love for Annelie, but when he discovers who framed him and she ends up caught in the crossfire, will he be strong enough to protect her? And can Annelie vanquish her doubts and fears to claim the heart of her fallen angel?


No cliffhangers. No cheating. Just passionate paranormal romance books with a guaranteed happily forever after!

Note: This is a revised, extended and re-released version of Her Fallen Angel after a rights reversion. Now with even more angel goodness (or wickedness if you prefer).

                          MY REVIEW 
    
   For the last three Lukas has been searching for a way to prove his innocence to the heaven council . Also falling in love with a beautiful bar owner . Annelie . After one night they can't let each other go . When all of a sudden he has to explain his wings and the hell that he is going through . Will Annelie love him despite the fact he has to clear his name and maybe head back to heaven if he clears his name . Will the love they have for each other keep them together . 
    I must say that each book is getting better . I so really like these two . Lukas is well he is sin poured into a pair of faded jeans . I mean ladies he is one hot angel .Tall with blonde shaggy hair and a body well its built for sin .  He is a broken soul that you just want to snuggle , hug and tell him that everything will be ok .  Annelie well she is one strong woman . She is sexy and sweet and totally in love with Lukas . I totally loved her , she is tired of wanting and not getting . When she finally lets loose her heart opens up and you really see her shine .  Apollyon and Serenity are back to help out the couple and the test that Lukas has to go through . 
    This is a re edited and extended story and I really loved reading it . The author takes us on a sexy roller coaster ride .  She can write about some really sexy men and the woman who love them . I read this book in an evening and it can be read as a stand alone . Its a naughty  little read that will have you wanting your own angel warrior . If you want to heat up your winter night this is the series for you , Check them out . I promise you will not be disappointed . Its a sinfully sweet ride  that will keep you wanting more .

WELCOME TO WEDNESDAY

 Well it is coming to the end of the month of November . Hope everyone did great shopping black Friday and cyber Monday . I know I did .  Today we have a new book by Lisa Kessler . The last book in her Muse Chronicles series SONG OF THE SOUL

                           BOOK BLURB 


The Epic conclusion to The Muse Chronicles is here...

His destiny is tied to hers...

Mikolas Leandros carries the Guardian's mark, and has been working behind enemy lines trying to protect the Muses from the Order of the Titans. The moment he lays eyes on Trinity Porter, the Muse of Music, a power awakens inside of him, a primal need to protect her.

Trinity has lost two of her Muse sisters to the Order of the Titans, and just because the sexy Greek billionaire claims to be her Guardian doesn't mean she can trust him.

With Kronos on the loose, the stakes couldn't be higher as Trinity and her sisters open the legendary Theater of the Muses. But the longer Mikolas works at Trinity's side, the more he comes to realize that love is the only thing worth fighting for, and in the end, love could save them all.

                   MY REVIEW 

  This is the seventh and final book in the Muse Chronicles series . Mikolas and Trinity's book . MIkolas is Trinity's guardian but he has a lot of work to do to convince the muse of music that he is a good guy . Not the bad guy she thought he was . She is doubtful that he is her muse but when Kronos is on the loose and the stakes are high for Trinity and her sisters . Will MIkolas and Trinity realize that love will get through and love is the only thing that is worth fighting for. 
    I love all the characters in this series but I think that MIkolas and Trinity are my all time favourite. Mikolas is a sexy hot billionaire. Who is more then he seems, he has been training for this his whole life . He comes from a long list of guardians . You will love him . Trust me ladies .  Trinity is an angel , she can sing like one and can play anything musical . She is fiery and strong but she is also distrusting of all things MIkolas . He was her enemy at one time and she is having a hard time wrapping her head around the fact that he is her guardian . She has some great one liners  that are all related to him . They are great characters but together they are hot . The rest of the sisters and their guardians are back to help end Kronos once and for all . 
    I am kind of sad that this series is ending , I loved these stories so much . The author did a great job wrapping the stories up she mixes Greek mythology with the nine muses seamlessly.  I sat down and read this story in one evening . I tried to prolong it cause I so did not want this to end . I was so wrapped up in the characters . I was laughing  and then I was bawling my eyes out praying that they would get their happy ever after . Trust me the author will put you through the wringer with this last book . With every sad part there is a sweet part too , the moral of the story is the one of love . Love will defeat all that it comes up. I strongly suggest you read the books in order . Check them all out . you won't be disappointed .

WELCOME TO WEDNESDAY

 Today is Wednesday and hump day . Today we are going to review  GRIM : a fantasy romance of the crimson court . by Jessica Aspen

                            BOOK BLURB

      

DO YOU LOVE REDEEMED BAD BOYS?

When a fae with a grudge kidnaps a princess, he discovers true love is better than revenge...


Grim Ni Brennan lost his leg, and his sister, to the enemy. Now, all he wants is to resurrect the past and save his sister from the dead. To fulfill the spell he must get a princess to spin straw into gold and when the perfect enemy princess falls into his hands, he’ll sacrifice anything—even the princess herself—to see his sister again.
Ana isn’t sure she’s a princess any more, not since her step-sister Ella took over the throne. All she wants is a new purpose in life. Just as she gets up the courage to find out what that is, she’s kidnapped by a man intent on revenge. Now, all Ana wants to do is stay alive and get back to her old life as fast as she can, but to do that she can’t do the one thing Grim needs her to do—turn that straw into gold. For as soon as she does, she knows she’ll be dead.
But Grim wasn’t counting on how attractive the enemy would be, nor how much he'd like her. As the hours roll into days and Ana becomes more than just the enemy, Grim has a choice and a question to answer—at what point do you sacrifice the future to save the past?

Discover Jessica Aspen’s GRIM: A Fantasy Romance with a Rumplestiltskin Twist




                          MY REVIEW 
    This is the third book in the crimson court series I was so excited to hear Grim was getting his own story . Grim is gruff and hurting all he wants is his sister back and if it takes kidnapping a princess to make that happen , he will . When he spies Ana he does what he has intended and kidnaps her . All he wants her to is spin straw into gold and Ana wants to stay alive and head home . When an old enemy comes calling it will take both of them to save each other . 
  I must say the characters in this series are just getting better and better. Grim well he is gruff and so hurting, he has lived with his hurt for hundreds of years and really doesn't know how to come out of it . Honestly one min you want to hug him and the next min you just really want to hit him upside the head with a frying pan . He is that complicated but as we see him go along in the book you really see a change in him . He still has his gruff exterior but you do see him become a sweet man who wants the best for Ana. Even if means heart break for him  again . Ana well you feel sorry for her in so many ways . All she wants to do is find her place in the court and find someone who can love her for her and not for what she can do for them . She is still reeling from her mother and sister and what they did to her. You really want to just wrap her up and hug her tight . But just like Grim we see her grow and become a strong woman who can take care of herself . Together they are a great couple and I loved them together . 
    I totally love this series and when I found out Grim was getting his own story I squealed a little . The author takes us on quite a ride with this book. The author puts a great twist on the Rumpelstiltskin tale.. You will love all the characters and the romance is a slow burn with a great spark at the end . I am gld the author decided to carry on with the Crimson court and the fairytale twists . You will laugh out loud and honestly will swoon . I say if you like your fairy tales with a little twisted . This is the series for you so add it to your winter reading list .

Centuries in Hell have taken their toll on Apollyon. Tired of guarding the Devil, he longs to break free of the dark realm. The trouble is, he can’t leave without permission. When he feels someone calling him, he seizes his chance for freedom, but what awaits him in the mortal realm is the last thing he expects—the beautiful woman he has watched over from Hell, a witch who casts a spell on him and awakens the darkest desires of his heart.

Serenity is shocked when a wickedly sensual black-winged angel shows up in her city of Paris claiming that she summoned him when she was only casting a simple vengeance spell. He’s no other than the angel of death! A very gorgeous, alluring angel of death who makes her feel she’s in danger of getting her heart broken all over again.

                    MY REVIEW 
      Apollyon is tired of guarding the devil in hell . He wants to break free and feel the air rushing through his wings . But alas he can't leave unless he is called upon. When Serenity calls his name , he is compelled to come . Serenity wants revenge and when the angel of death shows up there is more then revenge running rampant in her head and heart . Will they be able to stay together and have the revenge that Serenity needs ,.
    When I started this book I was hooked . Apollyon is tortured and restless. He is tired of living in hell . He is oh so sexy you will want to climb him like a spider monkey . He honestly wants to be with Serenity and wants to help her . Serenity is sweet but she has been hurt very badly . I really love her cause she just doesn't talk revenge. She has so many different emotions like he vulnerability and doubt . That made her more relatable and likable to  They are such a epic couple . I loved them and I loved that she loved his wings and didn't want him to hide them from her. 
     I absolutely enjoyed this book , there is no cliff hanger which I love . The characters are well written and you will love them . The author takes us on a sexy filled rollercoaster ride .There is some hot moments between the characters and yes they will melt your kindles . There also some tender sweet moments that will make you sigh and then there are the moments that have intrigue and have you on the edge of your seat .  The author has a way of writing that will have you hooked by the second page .

WELCOME TO THURSDAY

 Hey guys welcome to Thursday , today we have a sweet Christmas love story for you . Lets head out to CHRISTMAS COVE  with Theresa Oliver and her book COMING HOME TO CHRISTMAS COVE .

                             BOOK BLURB

 
In the depths of winter, Christmas calls to weary travelers and leads lonely hearts home.

Jocelyn Taylor is no stranger to a weary heart. Having fallen in love much too young with her sister’s old high school boyfriend has left her with mixed emotions about the possibility of true love. Now successful and the manager of a jewelry shop, Jocelyn spends her days dreaming of the perfect man and the perfect ring to match.

Caden Scott is less than thrilled at the thought of spending the holidays back home where memories of his youth still haunt him. Not interested in the kitschy hometown feel of a town known for Christmas, Caden still dwells on the thought of seeing his old high school love again. His time abroad serving his country has changed him in many ways, but could it have altered his heart as well?

As the winds of change bring more than just the magic of the holiday season, can two hearts let go of the past to find new romance? Or will true love pass them by? In the small town of Christmas Cove, the reason for the season may just be the spark they need to make this the best Christmas yet.

                         MY REVIEW 
   I love a great Christmas story and this one didn't disappoint me . It all starts with the story of a  Christmas ring that was consigned to the jewellery store that Joceyln Taylor is the manager of. She has been in love with that ring and dreaming of the perfect man to give it to her . It was a dream until the day her older sister came in and said that Caden was coming home from the navy . Will everyone survive the out fall of changing hearts and finding the love that they deserve .  Will the magic of Christmas Cove bring the two past friends together . 
   The characters in this story are so sweet . Jocelyn is a sweet woman who has put up with her older sister for so long . She loves where she lives and wants to find love one day . I really liked her she was the friend you really wanted have . Caden is well I don't really know to describe him . He is mischievous and sweet but also sexy and honestly you don't know what to do with him. He is all navy man and coming home to find out if he wants to relist or not . You will fall in love with his impish ways and his love for his family .  You will love these two together . I know I did . Mallory , the older sister , I really wanted to smack a few times 
She was self absorbed , spoiled and arrogant . You will want to slap her a few times . 
   This is a sweet story of friends and past and present love . The author takes us on a sweet adventure for Christmas .  There was a few spots that Caden kind of played each sister off each other which is such a cad thing to do . In the end he does pick the right woman . Over all I loved this sweet story . I think you should put it on your winter reading list and curl up with it this winter .

WELCOME TO TUESDAY ALL

 Well today is another great days for new books . Robyn Peterman has a new book in her Hot Damned series . Lets check out  FASHIONABLY FABULOUS .

                           BOOK BLURB 

  
Once upon a time there lived a Fairy.

And not just your run of the mill kind of Fairy. The reincarnated Fairy Queen of Zanthia. The Queen. She was a modern woman—a human no less. Armed with a potty mouth, a firm grasp of every note in Michael Jackson’s song catalogue, and some friends in very high places, she was set. Yet this Queen wasn’t exactly sure she wanted the job.

Fine…it’s me.

I’ve been happily human for thirty years. Now I’m discovering I’m the reincarnated Fairy Queen over a land chock-full of freaks who want me dead. Awesome. However, I’ll admit the perks are pretty cool. I definitely have more magic in my little pinky than should be allowed by law in any universe. Not to mention, the love of my life is a Fairy so smokin’ hot, he makes Hell look like a Winter Wonderland.

Problem is, my hotter than Hades Fairy is imprisoned in Zanthia for nefarious reasons I won’t go into, but now I must head back to that crap hole where I’m the Queen, and save the damn day.

I won’t go alone. Nope. I’m packing a narcissistic Mini Elf, two ancient singing Vampyres who couldn’t carry a tune if their undead lives depended on it, and the sister of my imprisoned love, The Kev. For him, I vow to discover my truth. Consequently, I’m unsure if this truth is meant to save or destroy. What I do know? The alternative is unacceptable.

Fairy tales are meant to have happy endings. I’m determined to make that a reality.

Ready or not… here comes the freakin’ Fairy Queen.

                       MY REVIEW 
     In the eleventh book we finally get to see how Gemma became the Fairy Queen and how she rescued The Kev and took back her home . For thirty years Gemma has been human but she realizes that she is more then human . She is the reincarnated fairy queen. She and her rag tag band of misfits are heading to rescue the Kev and get her land back . 

   I must admit Gemma and The Kev are my favourite character . Gemma is such a fun read . She is not ready to admit that she is the fairy queen . She is one sassy woman who has taken any obstacle with a head strong nature . She makes me giggle with her attitude and some of the things that come out of her mouth is hilarious.  Now The Kev well he is sweet and sexy and such a calming influence on Gemma . He has her heart and she has his  I really like them together, they are my favourite couple. Along with crazy Martha Jane and the rest of the gang are back to help out Gemma . Satan is up to his usual no good and Astrid is keeping her best friend safe . 

    I am going to admit I squealed when I found out Gemma and The Kev were getting their own story . I love this authors writing style and she takes us on such a fun filled adventure . The characters are wonderfully written and they are sassy and hilarious. I have never laughed so hard but with the book I couldn't stop laughing . I think I even snorted a few times .  If you like sassy ,sexy characters with a laugh out loud story this is the book for you . You will have a fun filled evening of laughter and love . So check it out . you won't be disappointed

GOOD MONDAY ALL

   Good Monday all today we are going to wish Lisa Kessler a happy book release on her new book  PIRATE'S PASSION (Sentinels of Savannah book 2)

                             BOOK BLURB 

   
Samuel Keegan used to man the wheel of the Sea Dog over 200 years ago, but these days he’s the front man of a southern rock band. Rum and women are plentiful, but his world is changing rapidly now that his crew is back together searching for the Holy Grail to break their curse. But the quest leads him to a historian with raven hair and a wicked smile. She holds all the answers, but she could also spell death for them all.
Dr. Charlotte Sinclair works for the Maritime Museum in Savannah, an expert on ancient pirate wrecks. When a government agent requests her help in a top-secret investigation, she discovers not only is the Holy Grail real, but the lead singer of her favorite band is actually the immortal pilot of the Sea Dog crew.
The search for the Grail opens some dark secrets better left hidden, and Charlotte's life might depend on one Pirate's Passion...
Each book in the Sentinels of Savannah series is STANDALONE:
* Magnolia Mystic
* Pirate's Passion

                      MY REVIEW 
   What do you do when you are intrigued by a man who is the lead singer in the band you love . Your assistant says that you should have an evening of yesses . You end up on a hunt for the Holy Grail with pirates , sexy pirates . That's what happens to Dr Charlotte Sinclair , she is the expert at the Maritime Museum. She knows all about the Sea Dog and its crew so when a government man shows up and asks for her help . She finds out the man of her dreams is a real pirate and she must help the crew find the Holy Grail and keep her love alive in the process . 

    Ok ladies lets talk about these characters . They are well written and are complex . Samuel is well lets just say this , he is hot, sexy and a pirate .  He is also an old soul that is burdened with the past . He is also immortal . You will fall for his tortured soul and will want to heal him anyway you can . Charlotte is a sweet over worked museum employee that has worked hard to get where she is . But she hasn't had fun in a long time . When she meets Keegan she finally lets her hair down and goes with the flow . As you read her you find out actually there is more to her then she knows. She is strong and independent and can drive Keegan crazy . These are great characters on their own but when they are together nothing can stop them from getting what they want . The rest of the crew is back also to help Keegan and Charlotte out . Love all these characters so much 

   This is the second book in the series but I will let you know you can read it as a stand alone if you want to get to it right away . The author takes us on an rollercoaster ride that will take us on an epic adventure .  The characters are so well written and you will love them so much .  There is mystery , intrigue and of course love .  I couldn't put the book down and got it read in an afternoon . I will tell you to get this book and sit down and read it . It will just take you an afternoon and you will be in love . So add this book to your winter reading list . Come and get yourself a pirate you will not be disappointed .

WELCOME TO SATURDAY

 Welcome to Saturday and the last day of book round up . Today we are going to review another new author to me Ashley Rich and her book LAVENDER FIELDS

                            BOOK BLURB

   
Esther has lost her grip on reality. She suffers from Alzheimer’s and often visits her delusional world of Lavender Fields. There, she is young again and full of life, free from aches and pains. In her fields she falls in love with her literal dream man, and a heated romance ensues.

Lexi, no longer able to care for her sister, Esther, hides from her guilt behind the inherited family trait, alcoholism. When Esther begins to claim the fields are real, Lexi dives deeper into the bottle, shying away from her husband who needs her, and missing out on the last few moments with the sister who raised her.

Gemma, Esther’s head nurse finds herself stuck between the drunken wrath of Lexi and her ornery patient. When Esther starts rambling about Lavender Fields, babies, kissing men, and claiming pregnancy, Gemma must interpret what parts of the delusion are fantasy, or if it is only a darker side of reality.

After a series of events, the three women, Esther, Gemma and Lexi must find a way to work together in a touching tale of second chances, family drama and miracles.

                     MY REVIEW 
   This is a story of alcoholism , Alzheimer's , redemption and love . Esther is suffering from Alzheimer's and is getting worse . She is reverting to a fantasy world of lavender fields and a mystery man who has her heart . Her sister Lexie is in denial in her life . Her husband is sick and then there is Esther . Lexie can't handle it so she slips deeper and deeper into alcoholism . After a series of events bring Lexie and Gemma the poor head nurse  and Esther together they must figure out how to work together. 
   This book has great characters that are well written and complex . Lexie is a woman who has been through so much . The only way she can survive is having a drink . You see her struggling with the load that she is carrying . You almost feel sorry for her , I said almost . She kind of brought it on herself . As you read the story you see her actually kind of growing up at the end of the book .  Esther is well she is somewhat of a enigma . She is funny but also surviving from Alzheimer's , she takes us on a fantasy ride in her mind with a man who loves her and she remembers everything . I wanted to just hug her and keep her safe.  She is a really strong character even though her mind is gone . She is a fighter and you will like her . I felt sorry for poor Gemma she is doing a job that most people will not want to do . She is stuck in between the two sisters . She wants to do the best for Esther but is tossed between two walls . She is a strong woman and is honestly a sweet lady . Who brings the two sisters together . 
    This is a complex book with lots going on. The author takes us on an emotional rollercoaster ride . The characters are well written and you will love them and hate them at the same time . There were just a few things that kind of put me off, the sex scenes in the fantasy felt a little uneasy. The alcoholism and the Alzheimer's were written so very well . The author really had a good grasp on the subjects. This is more then just those two things it is a story of love and redemption and also second chances  . Over all I truly enjoyed this book I cried and I did laugh a few times . I would recommend this book to those how are willing to go down the dark path to redemption .

WOOOHOOOO ITS FRIDAY

Welcome to the weekend everyone . Today we have a new book for  you . HOME SWEET SONOMA  by Georgia James and Deborah Parrish

                            BOOK BLURB 

   Superstitious, type-A executive, Catherine "Kitty" Taylor, is about to celebrate the greatest achievement of her career with her brilliant lover-lawyer, Nick Dylan, at her side. But when bad news hits the office, Nick races to New York to salvage the deal of a lifetime, forcing their personal lives to take a back seat, yet again. With life in limbo, an omen compels Kitty to follow a chain of events, luring her to the wine country to celebrate her mother's 70th birthday. But as she steps foot in the door, she witnesses an event which proves that magic doesn’t really exist after all. Stuck in a crumbling old church that her mother calls home, Kitty is faced with a vineyard bursting with ripe fruit, and must learn to nurture her feminine side, one grape at a time. Luckily, her mother’s rock-solid handyman, Daine Shepherd, who lives on the property, is just the one to help her do it. As Kitty resists, he gently persists, and their attraction grows by the day. She is not only forced to reconsider her relationship with Nick, but her urban lifestyle with all its fringe benefits. Dwelling in the luscious and slow wine country, she finds herself looking in all kinds of surprising places for the love she didn’t even realize she needed. This wine country romance goes best with a glass of Chardonnay, so kick back, relax, and follow Kitty on a soulful journey where she learns to trust her instincts and discover what she most wants out of life.

                        MY REVIEW 
     What would you do if you are a the best ad ex out there and work hard to prove it . When your company is up for sale and the last min the plans change. That is what happens to Kitty and her love Nick . When Nick goes back to New York to salvage the deal . Kitty is a trying not to panic but when a plane delay sends her to her moms house for her 70th birthday . She witnesses the worst thing any child wants to see.  Her mother hitting the floor . When the worst happens Kitty is set on a path that will have her rethinking her life in the city and her relationship with Nick and the new relationship with Daine , the sweet handyman living in Grace's barn. Will Kitty's life burn up around her or will she rise from the flames like the phoenix she is . 
   I was loving the characters in this book from the first moment I started reading . Kitty is well lets just say she is a type A personality . She is on the go all the time and will bust your balls as soon as looking at you . But she is also very confused . she has fought hard to get where she is taking over her fathers company . When she gets to Sonoma you get to see a side of her that is more her then the cooperate woman. She finally finds the woman she hides deep inside her . The truly happy relaxed woman with good friends and a man who loves her for her .
 Nick is the love interest and he is well lets just say what can I say he is arrogant ladies man . To me I felt that he really wasn't that interested in Kitty , he was wanting her and other woman . He is a cad and I really didn't like him , to me he just let out a I am better then everyone else vibe . And he proved me right lol .Now Daine well Daine is tall dark and oh so sweet. He is deep and sexy and really does push Kitty to be what he and everyone knows she is . I fell for him he is the man that will do anything for the people he loves . You will love him too . 
 Now Grace and Wyatt are so cute , they are a pivotal force in Kitty's transformation and her finally settling down . Even though we only have Grace for a short time she does a lot for the story and is the glue that keeps everyone together.

                    MY REVIEW 
    What would you do if your true love walked back into your life , trying to take over the non profit company that is your labour of love .You prepare for a fight . That is what Sadonna was doing . Until Michael walked into the room and then things were different . Will they be able to forgive the past and move on to the future . 
   The characters in this story are well written . Sadonna is a people pleaser through and through . We meet her as a young girl being put between her family and the boy she loves, who she dumps to be the parent towards her sister and brother . When we meet her latter on she is a strong independent woman , who in my opinion is still a people pleaser . She is doing everything for everyone else still  She is starting to put herself first though and won't let anyone step on her or her family . By the end of the book she has grown up and taken control. Michael has been through  a lot in his life , an alcoholic father ,being homeless . To becoming the best negotiator out there . When we see him , he seems bitter and still a little hot headed . As we see him with Sadonna we start to see a sweeter side of him . He grows up and realizes that he isn't the center of the world . My favourite character is Pop , he is a no nonsense man who knows Michael better then anyone . He is the rock in Michaels life and knows what he needs before Michael does . He is kind of like a guardian angel for the characters in this book always listening and giving good ideas. 
    This is a sweet second chance romance with a mystery and intrigue mixed in . The author takes us on a sweet ride ,that has some twists and turns . The characters are well written and the story spans a few years . There are a couple of spots that are a little slow but it doesn't take away from the book . Over all I really enjoyed this story of finding love again. If you want a sweet romance check it out you won't be disappointed
