Gabrielle Boudreaux, the youngest of the Boudreaux clan, is a single mother of her young son, Sam. Running a Bed and Breakfast at the family plantation house at the edge of the Mississippi River, Gabby loves her inn, her boy and her family. She meets new people every day, and takes pride in the house and land that has been in her family for more than five generations. Blessed beyond measure, she’s also lonely, although she would never admit that to anyone. Until Rhys O’Shaughnessy walks through her door, brooding and wounded and the sexiest thing she’s ever laid eyes on.

Rhys has been at the top of his game as a major league pitcher for the Chicago Cubs for more than ten years. Baseball is in his blood. But when he tears his rotator cuff and has to sit a season out, he retreats to Inn Boudreaux at the recommendation of his cousin, Kate, to heal and work toward building his shoulder back to perfect shape with only one goal in mind: to return to the game he loves. But he didn’t plan on being utterly charmed by a devastatingly beautiful woman and her baseball-loving son.

When Rhys’ shoulder has healed and he’s given the chance to return to his team, will he leave the family he’s come to love behind, or will he stay with Gabby and Sam?

Cover:  I think is a really cute, and relevant cover.

I read the first book in this series, Easy Love, earlier this year and really enjoyed it, as well as enjoying Kristen Porby's Love Under the Big Sky and With Me In Seattle series.
I love sweet, sexy romance.  And that's exactly what I got with this.
Rhys and Gabby were adorable.  I loved them together.
Rhys is staying at Gabby's New Orleans Inn to heal from a baseball injury.  Falling for Gabby, as well as her little boy was unexpected.  But soon he's fighting for them both.
Really enjoyed the chemistry between Rhys and Gabby.  As well as seeing the fun interactions between Rhys and Gabby's little boy, Sam.
Definitely recommend picking up for fellow romance fans- I devoured it in just two days- if I didn't have work, it would have been one!

4.5/5 stars.

Read from 17 July to 18 July, 2015.

#FridayReads 28/08/2015 'Sweet Rome'

Booking Through Thursday 27/08/2015 'Travel'

Booking Through Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Booking Through Thursday and a different question is posted every week.

"Do you like to read books about far-away places? Travel guides, memoirs, whatever? Places you’ve been? Or places you’ve never been?"

I'd say the only books I really like to read regarding far-away places, are fantasy novels.  I can't really say I'm a fan of travel non-fiction reads.
But fantasy books such as Throne of Glass, Falling Kingdoms and Daughter of Smoke and Bone pull me into their worlds and make me feel as if I HAVE been there.

Waiting On Wednesday 26/08/2015 'Dumplin' & Queen of Shadows'

Waiting on Wednesday is all about sharing the books that I'm eagerly waiting to be released.

This week is a double whammy.  The first book I'm waiting on is Dumplin' by Julie Murphy,

Released September 15th.

I love the sound of this one.  I think it sounds very body positive and feel good, as well as a lot of fun- but also tackling an important issue.

Self-proclaimed fat girl Willowdean Dickson (dubbed “Dumplin’” by her former beauty queen mom) has always been at home in her own skin. Her thoughts on having the ultimate bikini body? Put a bikini on your body. With her all-American beauty best friend, Ellen, by her side, things have always worked . . . until Will takes a job at Harpy’s, the local fast-food joint. There she meets Private School Bo, a hot former jock. Will isn’t surprised to find herself attracted to Bo. But she is surprised when he seems to like her back.

Instead of finding new heights of self-assurance in her relationship with Bo, Will starts to doubt herself. So she sets out to take back her confidence by doing the most horrifying thing she can imagine: entering the Miss Clover City beauty pageant—along with several other unlikely candidates—to show the world that she deserves to be up there as much as any twiggy girl does. Along the way, she’ll shock the hell out of Clover City—and maybe herself most of all.

With starry Texas nights, red candy suckers, Dolly Parton songs, and a wildly unforgettable heroine— Dumplin’ is guaranteed to steal your heart.

The second book, I'm sure is on a lot of people's lists, and that's Queen of Shadows by Sarh J. Maas, the fourth book in the Throne of Glass series.
Released September 1st.

Everyone Celaena Sardothien loves has been taken from her. But she's at last returned to the empire—for vengeance, to rescue her once-glorious kingdom, and to confront the shadows of her past . . .

She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die just to see her again. She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen's triumphant return.

Celaena’s epic journey has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions across the globe. This fourth volume will hold readers rapt as Celaena’s story builds to a passionate, agonizing crescendo that might just shatter her world.

"He'd unintentionally moved towards me, like I was gravity drawing him to ground.  It was kind of sweet.  It felt nice that he cared and strangely soothing to let someone in after years of silence.  Not just anyone, it felt good to let...him in.  The college bad boy.  I congratulated myself.  Only I would let in the guy who breaks hearts for fun."
