After reading the first two books in the Soul Sister series, I knew I wanted to read the other books in this series too. Through reading the first two books, we already met Liliana and Omar and I must admit that I was super excited to read their story. Who doesn’t love a bodyguard romance ...KEEP READING »
After reading ‘Wild Child’, the first book in the Soul Sister series I knew I wanted to read more books in this series. The Soul Sister series is a series about the Kerrighan sisters and their sisterhood. All foster sisters, who have had a horrible start in life.. but found love and family together. Such a great concept in my opinion and after enjoying the first book I was super excited to read the second story.
‘Wild Beauty’ is the story of Addison, a very successful model. Addy was kidnapped a few months back by a serial killer who tortured her for days. Now her abductor is dead, and Addy is supposed to get back to her life. But you can imagine this isn’t as easy as it sounds. Addy is determined to get back to work though. And on her first job back she meets photographer Killian. Killian has also been through a lot, and they soon find there is a undeniable attraction between them. And this attraction is definitely something you can feel flying of the pages.
From the moment Addy and Killian meet, you can feel their chemistry. And I loved their story and how they found kinship in each other. Just as in the first book, this is a very ‘sudden’ romance. Addy and Killian meet and soon after Killian is declaring Addy as ‘his woman’. A few days later they are talking about being together forever. And although I enjoyed their romance, I really wished it didn’t happen overnight. It just felt a little rushed to be honest. And I think this book would be even better if there just was a bit more time between them meeting, and them declaring their love for one another.
Next to this book being a romance, there is definitely a suspense element in this book. Addy finds herself in danger again, as do her sisters. And I found myself hooked to the pages, eager to find out what was going to happen next. ‘Wild Beauty’ definitely made me want to keep on reading.
As I wrote before, I love that this book is part of a series about all the Kerrighan sisters. And although this book is Addy’s story, we do get to read a little about her sisters and their possible love interests. This definitely made me want to read the next book too, but it also kind of took the surprise out of the next book. We already read a bit about the meeting between the next Kerrighan sister and her love interest. But who knows, maybe I will be surprised in the next book.
Overall ‘Wild Beauty’ is a fun story with a nice romance and some interesting suspense. Although this book continues where the first book ended, you can read this as a standalone novel. But to get the complete experience I definitely would recommend reading the first book first.
When Mary A. approached me on Instagram a little while ago with the request to read and review her book I simple couldn’t deny. Her book sounded really fun, and although I haven’t read any other books by her before, I really wanted to read this one.
Patton James has had a great life as a professional football player. Now he is approaching his fortieth birthday and all he can think about is the woman he lost. Everything should be about his upcoming game in the Super Bowl, but all he wants is another shot with the woman who stole his heart.
This story was easy to read and I definitely enjoyed it. The story alternated between the time when Patton and Taylor met, and the present. And it was fun to get to know Patton a little more. I loved how unknown Taylor’s life was to me. He was this professional athlete at the top of his game. I haven’t even seen a football game in my life. It was fun to learn a little more about it.
The romance between Patton and Taylor was nice and sweet. But the story went very fast and I couldn’t really connect with these characters as much as I’d like. I mean we barely got to know Taylor. The story wasn’t as much about the romance, as it was about the lesson of second chances I think. And overall it was a nice read.
‘All In With Me’ was a nice sweet read I definitely enjoyed.
A view weeks ago I read my first book in the Boys of the Bayou series, and I really loved that one. So I was super excited to find out their where more books coming in this series soon. And after reading, Sweet Home Louisiana and Beauty and the Bayou, I couldn’t wait to read Kennedy and Bennett’s story.
In ‘Crazy Rich Cajuns’ we meet Kennedy and Bennett. This is a couple we’ve been reading about a little in the previous books, and I just loved their chemistry. So this book about their story was high on my list of books I wanted to read. Kennedy and Bennett have been fight-flirting for a while now, and Bennett has had enough. He want’s to get to know Kennedy better and he wants to be with her. So he decides to invite her for a trip to his family. But Kennedy isn’t like most girls. She knows what she wants, drinks like a sailor and isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty. And she sure as hell doesn’t want to admit she wants Bennett.
‘Crazy Rich Cajuns’ was a book I was really looking forward to. I loved their characters in the previous books and their chemistry was just flying of the pages. And luckily for me I definitely enjoyed this book. The chemistry between Kennedy and Bennett really was fun to read about. And I loved getting to know them better.
The one thing I didn’t really like was the fact that I found this story going way to fast. It seemed like I had been reading about Kennedy and Bennett’s flirting for a long time and in this book they gave in to their feelings pretty fast. It just almost felt too fast, since they had been denying having feelings for each other before.
But overall I really enjoyed this book and it made for a fun read. And although ‘Crazy Rich Cajuns’ is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone.
A view weeks ago I read the second book in the Boys of the Bayou series, ‘Sweet Home Louisiana’, and completely loved that book. So when I got the opportunity to read the third book in the series ‘Beauty and the Bayou’ I definitely couldn’t say no. And as fast as I could I started reading.
In the ‘Beauty and the Bayou’ we meet Sawyer Landry. Ever since Sawyer lost his best friend a view months back he hasn’t been easy to be around. When the beautiful Juliet Dawson comes to the Bayou to help repair the boat dock her brother, Sawyer instantly feels an attraction to the clumsy lawyer and he finds himself wanting to be kind to the beautiful woman. Soon Sawyer and Juliet spend more and more time together and even though Juliet definitely isn’t the right person for life in the Bayou, Sawyer might be perfect for her.
‘Beauty and the Bayou’ was definitely a book I couldn’t put down. It was easy to read, the characters where easy to like, the setting was great and the romance was good. I definitely enjoyed every single page of this book.
The romance between Sawyer and Juliet was really fun to read and definitely had some hot moments. But I did find their romance was a bit sudden. I would have preferred there to be a little more built up to the romance. Now I just felt like they almost instantly loved each other, and although I definitely don’t hate ‘insta-love’ this just felt a little off to me. But luckily for me it didn’t bother me to much.
The character I loved the most in this book was Juliet. I just loved her spirit and her determination to do things herself. And the way she acted for the people she loved. Juliet is definitely a tough kick-ass woman.
The setting of this book was, just as in the previous book, very fun to read. I loved reading about the Bayou and the big loving Landry family. I also loved the fact we get to read a little bit about the characters of the previous books in this series. There is just something about this setting and it’s characters that I can easily imagine to be real. And it makes me want to try crawfish! LOL!!
Yes, ‘Beauty and the Bayou’ was definitely a fun read. And I loved that we got some little previews of the next book in the series. I for one can’t wait to read that one too!
