REVIEW


Although Reunion At Cardwell Ranch is #5 in the Cardwell Cousins series, it can be read as a stand alone. But believe me, you'll want to read them all. This is the second BJ Daniels story I have read and I am a huge fan now. Her characters seem to be ones you want to read about and hate to part with when the story ends. Fortunately, it's a series so you know they'll pop up in future stories. 

In this book, Laramie Cardwell, who with his brothers started Texas Boys Barbeque, comes home to Big Sky, Montana only to almost catch a female cat burglar. She gets away but Laramie is determined to find her. Not only because he wants to solve the crime but also because he is drawn to her. 
This is another great story by BJ Daniels with lots of twists, great dialogue, and likeable characters. Once you read one of her books, you will be hooked for life. Every book is well written with real, relatable characters and interesting stories that grab you from the beginning. I love mystery and I love romance so for me her books are a win win!

The Queen’s New Year Secret
by Maisey Yates

Kidnapped by her king!

As the clock strikes twelve on New Year’s Eve, the fairy tale is over for all of Petras when Queen Tabitha—refusing to live in a loveless marriage—asks her husband for a divorce. But anger erupts into passion, and when Tabitha flees the palace she’s carrying King Kairos’s heir!

Discovering her secret, Kairos kidnaps his wife. Against the backdrop of his secluded island paradise, he proves there’s no escaping his royal reach. He will use the desire that’s gone unsated between them for too long to ensure his wife returns to his side.


USA Today Bestselling author Maisey Yates lives in rural Oregon with her three children and her husband, whose chiseled jaw and arresting features continue to make her swoon. She feels the epic trek she takes several times a day from her office to her coffee maker is a true example of her pioneer spirit.

In 2009, at the age of twenty-three Maisey sold her first book. Since then it's been a whirlwind of sexy alpha males and happily ever afters, and she wouldn't have it any other way. Maisey divides her writing time between dark, passionate category romances set just about everywhere on earth and light sexy contemporary romances set practically in her back yard.

FORTUNE’S SECRET HEIR
by Allison Leigh
Cool, confident and in control: that's Ben Robinson, the billionaire COO of Robinson Tech. With his imposing height and sharp blue eyes, he can convince anyone to do anything, but suddenly he feels like a fraud. The handsome Texan has just discovered his entire life has been a lie.
With the news that his father might actually be a long-lost—and very prodigal—Fortune, Ben trains his laser focus on determining the truth. He persuades sweet, earnest Ella Thomas to help him in his research; no one would ever suspect the part-time college student of subterfuge. Ella is sensitive and highly intuitive…in other words, Ben's total opposite. And as she digs for his Fortune roots, she may also uncover the billionaire's long-shuttered heart.



ALLISON LEIGH was borned in Southern California and has lived in several different cities in four different states.  She has been, at one time or another, a cosmetologist, a computer programmer, church secretary, and database administrator.  She currently makes her home in Arizona with her family whom she credits with remarkable patience for the hours she spends parked in front of her computer, and more importantly, for blessing her life with the kind of love and happiness that she wants her readers to continue sharing with the characters living in the pages of her books.
