One Last Wish by Aurora Rose Reynolds

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I am shamefully, shamefully, shamefully behind on book reviews. Here’s a quick review (for an equally quick story) to hopefully appease the book gods that walk among us.

Denver is a swoon worthy Alaskan fisherman. First and foremost he’s loyal to the core. My God this guy hangs around for years to get the girl! He’s handsome, physically fit, and precious with 4 year old Lyra.

Bre is a tad harder (or perhaps slower) to enjoy as a character. She’s works on the docks selling fuel to provide for herself and her daughter. She is shy and has limited interests outside of her daughter… which makes for a great mom but less than interesting character. Apparently she’s also not too bright because she doesn’t see that her “friend” Denver (who practically dedicated his life to supporting her and her daughter) is actually in love with her. Yes, there’s the element that she has walls up to protect her heart but if that’s the case I think accepting Denver’s help is a smidge selfish. Just my opinion- you’ll have to let me know what you think when you dive into the story!

The Protector by R.S. Lively

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Review time! What can I say that hasn’t already been covered in previous reviews? First impression- this book is much longer than I anticipated! I expected it to be a steamy little story that I could finish in a few hours. Lo and behold it took me a few days.

Grant is a millionaire mountain man who’s also a former marine. (Say that 3 times fast!) Closed off from society, he enjoys the Colorado mountains to the company of humans. Insert gorgeous damsel in distress … and Grant’s protective instincts kick in.

Celeste’s character is less defined – mostly in part to her memory loss. As a reader you’re left piecing together clues and making your own inferences. I can’t say I have a strong reaction to her as a character. She was pretty “vanilla” and didn’t make a lasting impression on me.

I enjoyed the story and would recommend it to anyone looking for a light read. Where’s my Maria romance readers at?!? This will be one to check out!
