Go buy this book.

Seriously, why are you reading my review? I gave my opinion which is go buy the book and devour it. It's like the Pringles ad - Once you pop (open the book) you can't stop. Why the overt fangirling? BECAUSE ITS AWESOME THATS WHY.

For a first time duo team writing, they could have written under a pseudonym Brenelle Blishert and I would have thought it was one person. Their writing styles blend effortlessly. I've read from both authors and immensely enjoyed their individual show more storytelling. However, when they come together - just as fun, just as HOT, and just as much my sentimental heart loves in a romance tale as I would expect them to deliver.

I loved seeing the dual POV from Jude and Reagan portrayed as the story unfolded. Each character was strong and carried their piece of the romance without overpowering the other. I loved that their love story carried the novel and wasn't a hidden agenda for anything else. Did the story premise have some ups and downs? Of course - any time you meet someone you are 'pre-destined' to hate, the story to HEA isn't going to be smooth. But Bliss and Rothert give you a story with just enough, you don't feel emotionally rung out and most importantly - when you get to the end you want MORE.

And did I want MORE? Yes, I did what any self respecting fangirl does. I told them on FB (rally the troops) that my book was too short, missing pages. Because I loved it so much I didn't want Jude and Reagan to end. Now, I have a book hangover. I feel sorry for the next book having to live up to this 5 star read from me. I truly hope this isn't the only time that Bliss/Rothert team get together to deliver a fantastic story - I hope this is a many more to come. 5 out of 5 wish I could give more stars stars

Before I forget - yes, I got this as an ARC from team Bliss/Rothert but it was already on my radar as my dear friend Janett let me know "You will want to read this book". So regardless - gifted or purchased I'd be feeling the same. Oh, and on release day, I'll be re-reading this bad boy because I love to have the first read happiness (again).

OMG. I truly enjoyed this novel. Madison is taking a break at a spa resort after her divorce from her cheating ex is finalized. She’s having semi private personal happy time (hey, she thought she was alone) but she is being watched by a SEXY mountain man. The chemistry between these two is great. I appreciate reading about the reason behind Luke’s self-prescribed isolation, unfortunately it is not uncommon. I found myself laughing out loud at times, I enjoyed this so much. Great start to show more series, I look forward to more. show less

Hope & Harmony
A Music Romance Anthology

What a wonderful treat this anthology proved to be. I went in thinking I would read a few, write a review, and then move on. I usually pick up anthologies to find a new author or read a favorite in the mix but even though THIS collection of fourteen music themed romances of novella length was one I thought I would quickly give up on…I did not. I found myself finishing one and thinking…so what does the next author have to share?

The stories are show more diverse, all have some element of music involved, and provide romance. The characters range in age from high school through married couples that are nearing fifty. The love stories are warm and true and resonated even though shorter than I sometimes wanted because I was not ready to say goodbye to the characters.

I admit that I have read a few “rock romances” and kind of gave up on them BUT this book has made e realize I might want to read more music-based stories in the future…and more than one of the authors who chose to contribute to this anthology will be on my list to look for in the future.

Excellent collection with something for everyone AND for a worthy cause that will provide funds for https://musicares.org/ As one who has loved, played, listened to, and been in musical groups for fun…am glad to find out there is an NGO like this.

I did take notes on every story and could say more but will instead advise you to pick up a copy of the book, read, and enjoy…as I did today.

Thank you to NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for the ARC – This is my honest review.
