I CANNOT WAIT to read the rest of these amazing books!TROPICAL DREAMS by Kelly Cozzone:I could not put this page turner down! Not only is it packed with romance, but buried deep are betrayals, lies, deceit and power plays, OH and suspense...OH THE SUSPENSE!!!!Without giving the story away I'll tell you that you won't regret one single minute or word. David is my new book boyfriend! Thanks Kelly Cozzone for giving us an amazing story. I'll be looking for your next book with baited breath❤️EARLY ONE MORNING by Aubree LaneI started this book 2 days ago and literally could not put it down!Aubree Lane has written a compelling beautiful and touching romance novel. From page 1 I was hooked! The characters Annie, Marissa and Hannah all swooned over Terrence Javier in high school. He was a GOD.When Annie met up with Terence, years later the attraction was still there. He was everything she remembered only now he had a beautiful daughter, Ericka. The twists and turns, along with the struggles and heartaches in the relationships that form only add to the page turning interests in this book.Annie is a beautiful, talented interior designer who has put her heart and soul into building her business with the help of her best friend Marissa's father Larry. Marissa and David, her husband vacation to Hawaii where she discovers their high school crush Terence. Annie happens into the scene, where she and Terence rekindle a relationship that blossoms but with many obstacles. They are soul mates, destined to be together, but at what cost? Terence is the man we could all hope for in our lives. He's hot, he's smart, caring.... he is an amazing father...a great lover....the whole enchilada.I was torn with emotion, crying at parts as this family evolves and more characters emerge. As I became part of the relationship with Annie and Terance, I felt so much a part of this mixed up family. Each character literally tugged at my heart and I loved every moment of this book. I didn't want it to end and I just hope the author has plans for a sequel.... this isn't over and I look forward to book 2!Well done Aubree Lane! You've given us all a beautiful story and I'm left wanting more. Kuddos for an amazing feel good romance novel!LOST AND FOUND by Jennifer Bryan YarbroughI was bawling when I read the first few pages of this book. Literally bawling! How could an author have the audacity to start a book so tragically? I followed Olivia through her pain - her loss, her guilt, her withdrawal. I felt it with her. And I felt her anger with Claudia for even suggesting that she get out of the house and start to live again. Seriously?? How can you possibly think of living again when your whole world has been ripped from you?Enter Cash Kingston. Billionaire,single,handsome sexy widower in need of a nanny. Does Olivia take the job or stay in her cocoon? Well, she takes the job of course and this employer/employee relationship takes an emotional roller coaster....you'd better believe it...Hang on! Olivia shows her tenacious side and won't back down when it comes to the welfare of Cash's two kids, Gideon and Eden. Think of how difficult it is for her to become attached to kids when hers have been killed. As for Cash and Olivia...more often that not, I found myself thinking "Get a room for God's sake you guys...GEEZ!" I was screaming at them to get it together. They both had demons to face with the guilt from the losses of their spouses and I felt so badly for them. Each had a difficult time saying goodbye and gaining acceptance from the spirits of their deceased spouses. I felt them at the cemetery. I wept as both Cash and Olivia spent time at the graves seeking the approval from Derek and Vanessa. Just when you think everything is rosy we are hit with a huge twist...HUGE! Can Cash and Olivia rely on the love and trust they've built to get through this? Will the family pull together and accept this? Is this the end of the fairytale?Lost and Found is a beautiful romance...a journey to overcoming the depths of despair and walking into the beautiful sunlight of redemption.Kudos to Jennifer Bryan Yarbrough for giving us this beautiful touching story that I'll never forget.
