I’ve been loving the Willow Creek Valley series so far. So when I received the sign up for ‘A Moment For Us’, book three in the series I got super excited and signed up immediately. And luckily for me I got send an ARC soon after. In ‘A Moment For Us’ we read the story of ...KEEP READING »
In the last few years I’ve been reading a lot of books by Corinne Michaels, and I’ve been loving all her books so far. So when I saw the sign up for this new book by her, I knew I wanted to read it even before I read the book description. And when I did read the description, I got super excited. So you can imagine how I reacted when I received an ARC, and I started reading as soon as possible.
In ‘You Loved Me Once’ we meet Serenity Adams, a doctor trying to find a cure for cancer. Serenity’s past makes her a great doctor, but also someone who closes herself off for love. But doctor Westin Grant is breaking through her walls slowly but steady. That is until Serenity’s past comes walking through the hospital doors, and endangers everything she worked for.
‘You Loved Me Once’ definitely had a different feel about it than the other books by Corinne Michaels. This book is a little darker than the other once but not less good. From the moment I started reading I couldn’t put this book down. I loved the fact that two of the characters in this book where doctors, and it mostly took place inside a hospital. As a nurse working in a hospital myself, this was definitely a nice change and it felt kind of familiar.
The romance in this book was also different than the usual romance in Corinne Michaels her books. And although it took me a little while to really love the romance as much as I usual do with Corinne Michaels her stories, it was pretty damn good in the end. I mean Westin.. Sigh.. What a swoon worthy guy. I did find Serenity a bid frustrating at times though.
There where a few moments in this book that where very emotional. It definitely made me tear up. Corinne Michaels really knows how to write these intense stories and ‘You Loved Me Once’ is definitely one I’ll remember for a while.
In the end I loved everything about this read. It was different, angsty, romantic and had some very nice characters.
I’ve been a Corinne Michaels fan for a while now. So when I got the opportunity to read the second book in the Willow Creek Valley series I got super excited. Especially since the story of Stella and Jack got me really excited after reading a little about them in the first book. So when this book arrived on my kindle, I dived right in.
Stella has loved her brothers best friend Jack for as long as she can remember. One night on Stella’s birthday they shared a kiss and Stella knew right away Jack was the one for her. Unfortunately Jack is determined to stay away from her ever since, even though they see each other regularly. But years of denying themselves love, is taking it’s toll. And Stella and Jack can’t seem to fight it any longer. But there are many secrets trying to find there way to the service.
This book definitely had a twist I didn’t see coming at all. It made for a very fun, interesting and touching read. From the moment I started reading, I couldn’t stop because I just really wanted to know how things would end up.
The chemistry between Stella and Jack is definitely the best part of this book if you ask me. I loved reading about these two. They have loved each other for so long, but never allowed themselves to go there. It made for some pretty sexy moments. Now they finally can’t deny there feelings anymore, there are lots of hurdles to get through. And it kept me sitting on the edge of my seat. And although I loved this book, it was not so much about the romance between Stella and Jack but more about their ‘secret’ I think. Not a bad thing, but definitely a little unexpected.
My favorite character was definitely Jack. I loved that guy so much. He was just so sweet and caring. And he really wanted to make sure Stella was happy. I did wish we got to read a little more about his character though. We now only read a little bit about his past, but I simple couldn’t get enough of Jack and wished we could have read more about him.
We also get to read a little about the other Parkerson siblings in this book, and I can’t wait to read their stories too.
After reading the previous three books in the Arrowood Brothers series, and loving them all, I knew this book was one I had to read. So when I was able to sign up for an ARC, I did immediately. And I was super excited when I got picked to read this book. ‘Stay For Me’ is the fourth book in this series, and can be read as a standalone.
In ‘Stay For Me’ we finally get to read the story of Jacob Arrowood. I was really looking forward to reading this book, because there just was something about Jacob that made me curious about his story since I first read about him in the first book of this series. Jacob is a Hollywood actor, and it’s his turn to stay in Sugarloaf for 6 months. Although he loves spending time with his brothers, Jacob is sure in the end of the 6 months he will want to leave immediately. But he didn’t expect to meet Brenna Allen, a young widow with two young kids. From the moment Jacob and Brenna meet, both their lives change forever.
Now I’ve read this last book in the Arrowood series, I can definitely say this is my favorite one. I mean.. Jacob and Brenna just where these two amazing characters with some intense chemistry. And I loved them from the moment I started reading about them.
Not only the chemistry between Jacob and Brenna was amazing and definitely flying of the pages, their connection and friendship was just so intense it made me want to keep on reading. Their story was fun, sexy and very emotional. And my pregnant self had to pick some tears away several times.
Jacob’s character was my favorite. He had just this big good heart, and I loved how intensely he felt for the people he cared about. It was also very fun to read about him as an Hollywood actor, falling for a ‘normal’ girl. And Brenna.. well she was pretty awesome too. A young widow who always had to take second place in her relationship. And I admired how tough she was. She took such great care of her children. I was really in awe of her.
‘Stay For Me’ was the perfect book to end a series. It was romantic, but also had some moments that kept me sitting on the edge of my seat. And I loved the little note by the author about her next series. I’ll definitely be reading that one too.
