Review: Every Dog Has His Day

* Book 3 in the Bluff Point series *

Zach's been single since he had his heart broken years ago. He's not looking for anything serious - ever. But two girls knock on his door to rescue their kitten and his whole world changes.  Their kitten's stuck on his roof. Of course, he agrees to help him. He doesn't realize that their mother is Jessie - the woman who yelled at him last week and whom he can't stopping thinking about. After he meets the girls, there's no going back. They all become friends; the more time Zach spends with them, the more he loses his heart to them - and their mother.

Chaos is a fitting name for the kitten.  Jessie's trying to hold everything together as a single mother. Her ex did a number on her. She's not willing to let go of her independence. But when she witnesses Zach with her girls, things shift a little. After a blizzard cements their bond, Jessie realizes she wouldn't mind seeing more of Zach either - and not just because he's good with her girls.

Could the bachelor really be wanting to settle down? And would Jessie let him into their lives permanently?

My Thoughts: I find the cupcake series delicious, the library series charming and the hat series lovely - but this series by Jenn McKinley is my favorite. Once I start these books, I can't put them down; they're addicting. I love the large group of friends and seeing them again. I loved Gracie and Maddie - they were adorable, sassy, and mischievous. They really did steal the book. Their moments with Zach were precious.  Chaos and Rufus were also charming. I loved the moments between Jessie and Zach. I enjoyed Jessie and her time with her new women friends. The blizzard might have been my favorite part of the book - very cozy. Another magical read in this series and I'm so happy there are more books planned!

Adult Review: Barking up the Wrong Tree

* Book 2 in the Bluff Point series * 

Carly lost her job in New York and reluctantly heads home to Maine to regroup. She's taking her newly inherited bird and dog with her. She's hoping to find homes for them, but the bird swears like a sailor and the dog is older. Carly's friends are happy she's back in town, but she assures them it's only temporary. A phrase she repeats when she meets James.

James is new to town, but he's fitting in just fine, especially after he meets Carly. He can't get her out of his mind. He's not taking her one night stand only rule to heart, he's working on the long game.

Could Carly see herself staying in the small town where she grew up for good?

My Thoughts: I really love this series - for the small town charm, the romance, and the friendships. I loved the parrot; he cracked me up. I loved the history between the two main characters and of course their chemistry. I enjoyed the relationships between the sisters - and how they couldn't see past their own selves for the longest time. Luckily I don't have much time to wait until book 3 because I need more of this town and the people!

Adult Review: About a Dog

 * First in a new series *

Mac left her hometown directly after her wedding that wasn't and she hasn't returned. Now her best friend is getting married and she's the maid of honor. She can't wiggle her way out of this one. to make matters worse, Emma has asked her to look after her brother during the wedding week. What the bride doesn't know is that Mac and her brother has a romantic past.

Mac isn't thrilled about being thrown together with Gavin, especially given their history. But she's making the best of it. She's happy to see her aunts, she's happy to be back with her friends, and she's even happy to see Gavin. Even if her is off limits and even if he isn't giving up.

My Thoughts: I adored this start of a series and I can't wait to go back to Bluff Point and read more. I loved the small town charm. I loved the bridal party and their moments together. I loved their banter and easy friendship. I adored Gavin. I like how he didn't give up. I love the aunts and their outlook on life. I loved Tulip, she stole the book in some ways. I really enjoyed Mac and how she changed a bit over the course of the book. I enjoyed her moments with arch nemesis. A entertaining read with great friendships, strong family ties, and a fun romance. September can't come soon enough!
