After an accident takes the life of his estranged older brother and his wife, Bastian finds himself the guardian of his three niblings. Way in over his head, Bastian isn't sure how he's supposed to balance work and parenthood, especially with his niece who seems to hate his guts.
In swoops Asher, the live in nanny hired by his mother, who wrangles the children and Bastian with ease. As the pair grow closer and navigate the children's grief and all the hiccups that come along the way, Bastian and Ash find themselves falling for each other.
I'll be quite honest, I was more invested in the family as a whole than Bastian and Ash's romance. I didn't really feel a romantic connection between them, and felt like their relationship, once started, went from 0 to 100 reeeeaaalll fast. Other than that though, I thought their story was sweet, but definitely cared more about the kids and their new family dynamic than anything else....more

I’m honestly on the fence. I absolutely loved Briar’s personality and willingness to always see the good in everyone, but I wasn’t a fan of Derek’s constant hot and cold routine (and eventual 180*) or his wanting to keep Briar a secret (or the fact that Briar was willing to accept that when Derek really had no real reasons to stay closeted lol). ...more

Maybe you don’t love me back. But I’ll wait. I don’t care. I’ll take my time with you. So long as I know you’re really mine, I can be patient.”
I’m so sad to see this series wrap up, but Beau & Bailey’s story was a perfect ending. ...more

Scarlett gets wrangled into going to a bachelor auction by her two best friends, not realizing it’s a set up. When the girls spend a fortune bidding on their older brother for her, both Scarlett and Tate don’t realize how their lives are about to change for the better thanks to the meddling sisters.
Honestly this was pretty cute, but I wished it would have been longer. I hated how awful Scarlett’s ex was and how much he had lowered her confidence, but Tate swept her off her feet and I would have liked to see more of their relationship!...more

Branum finds himself intrigued by the sweet librarian PJ after he accidentally trespasses on his property and cat- opposites attract - size difference
Branum finds himself intrigued by the sweet librarian PJ after he accidentally trespasses on his property and catches him sunbathing in the nude. So much so that he shows up at the library the next day to sign up for a library card just to speak to PJ, and from there sparks up a tooth achingly sweet romance between the two.
Their story oh so sweet, and so far my favorite out of the Movin' to the Mountains series. Branum is such a sweetie, and I loved how he wanted to do all these sweet romantic gestures to win over PJ AAANNDDDD accepted his OCD without judgement. & PJ is downright adorable! ...more

After almost being taken out by a mudslide on the way to his father's cabin in the mountains, Eddie gets rescued by a rugged stranger. Something about the handsome mountain man seems so familiar, and he often reminds Eddie of his first love, a boy he met in these very same mountains ten years ago.
You figure out pretty early on in The Silent Mountain Man where things are going, but Casey somehow kept me hooked and invested in Eddie and Harrick's story. This was just so sweet & I really loved the inclusion of their letters!...more

When they were eighteen, Ledger pushed Hazel away because he didn't want his feelings for her to compromise his friendship with his best friend Chance, her twin brother. A year later she shows up again when he needed her the most, but all he did was twist the knife even further, and she never came back.
Ten years later and Ledger is in NYC for some meetings, and ends up running into Hazel at a bar. The pair have a steamy one night stand, and now that they've reconnected, Ledger thinks they'll start over and be together, but when he wakes up Hazel is gone. He tries calling her, even shows up at the apartment he thought she lived in, but she's nothing but a ghost.
Three months later Hazel reappears and drops the bomb of a lifetime--she's pregnant, and the baby is his.
Ledger and Hazel's story may have taken a decade for them to finally get a happy ending, but it was well worth it. Ledger goes above and beyond for Hazel during her pregnancy, proving that he's a good man and will be a good father. He's protective and possessive, with a dirty mouth, but also so sweet and caring.
Despite not being a huge fan of accidental pregnancy, I actually really enjoyed this one!...more
