Merry Christmas to Awesome Families in Romance Book Series

Slide1

I love romance series where we get to know an entire family.  Here’s a few of my favorite series that primarily revolve around a single, sometime’s extended, family.

Merry Christmas to: Jamie McGuire’s Maddox family, Maya Bank’s Colter family, Samantha Young’s Nichols family, Abbi Glines’s Finlay family, Lauren Dane’s Brown & Chase families, Jaci Burton’s Riley & Kent families, Kristen Ashley’s Lawson family, Lorelei James’s McKay/West family, Jennifer Probst’s Conte family, and Stephenie Meyer’s Cullen family.

Meredith Wild – “Hardpressed”

This is the second book in the Hacker Series.  It’s the best kind of romance novel.  Meredith Wild made my insides ache like when you watch a video clip of someone suddenly falling onto the pavement and you can sympathetically feel their pain.  That’s how I felt for Blake.

Besides being a great romance, there’s a story line that is full of shocking surprises that makes the novel very fresh in an unpredictable kind of way.

I just found out that the 4th in the series, Hard Limit, is available for pre-order today.

Sylvia Day – “Captivated by You”

Eva finds Gideon’s most fabulous attributes to include his beauty, stamina, size, and prowess, which can make for an entertaining relationship.  More importantly, those traits make for a captivating book!  In “Captivated by You” I found Gideon’s character to be even more compelling than in the previous novels, which were undeniably amazing.  In this book, more of Gideon’s weaknesses are revealed and he becomes a more interesting character, in which the reader cannot help become invested.  My interest in Gideon solidified in Chapter 11, when Sylvia Day writes:

“Gideon…”  The way she said my name was a plea, as if I wouldn’t get down on my knees and beg for the privilege of having her.

Gideon and Eva’s story continues in “One With You”

Christina Lauren – “Dirty Rowdy Thing”

“Dirty Rowdy Thing”  #2 in the Wild Seasons Series

Christina and Lauren did again – they made me put my life on hold so that I could finish reading one of their books.  What else did they do?  They made me ruin my copy of the book.  I dog-eared so many pages where I absolutely loved the lines that now my copy is an absolute mess.  Unfortunately, I’m not going into detail about some of the non-PG rated quotes – you have to read the book.

Just as Harlow says “I think I have you locked down pretty tight”  Christina and Lauren have a lock on what love is about.  Harlow thinks to herself, “I realize while I’m watching him struggle with this that I sincerely just want Finn to be happy.”

I most adore the characters’ sarcastic use of nicknames and references to pop culture media.

All in all, a fun, hot, must-read book!

Adele Allaire – One Night Three Hearts

Jason is either completely nuts or the the most selfless husband ever.  He’s willing to give his wife what she’s wanted for years – a baby and his best friend.  What’s the consideration and who will pay the highest price of admission for their one night of ecstasy?  Notwithstanding, Jason, Matt, and Rose’s fulfillment is undoubtably and enthusiastically conveyed in what amounts to a fun quick bedtime read.

Looking forward to answers in “One Week Three Hearts” (Three Hearts Trilogy, #2).
