Review: Shelter by Kristen Proby (Heroes of Big Sky #2)


Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Valentine PR.

I can't believe we've reached the end of the Big Sky saga! Beginning with Love Under the Big Sky series and then all the spin-offs--Big Sky, Big Sky Royal, and Heroes of Big Sky--plus the multi-author Big Sky Crossover books, I've devoured every single book belonging to this book world, and I've loved spending time in the fictional town of Cunningham Falls, Montana. And now here we are, with the final romance, and I've got major bittersweet feelings, so I most definitely relished every single last moment I had in this book world. Though I actually didn't know this would be the final book until I saw the author mention it in her newsletter!

Shelter is the second full-length novel and third release in Kristen Proby's Heroes of Big Sky series. Remi Carter has no regrets leaving behind the life she once had back in California. Living in her van as she travels from one place to another has turned out to be her greatest adventure yet. While hiking in Montana, she's caught in a snowstorm. Help comes in the form of Seth King, a hot park ranger who she met at a bar and ghosted--the same one who warned her about the snowstorm. They find shelter and time together makes their connection more undeniable. But will this wandering traveler ever choose to stay in Cunningham Falls?

This was a sweet and heartwarming way to end the Big Sky saga, and I enjoyed how it felt like a true full circle moment. If you're a longtime reader of either Kristen Proby in general or this book universe in particular, you may remember a young Seth in Falling for Jillian (Love Under the Big Sky #3). I loved seeing how much he's grown, and it was gratifying that he found the same kind of forever love his parents, Zack and Jillian, did. Remi was perfect for him, and the realization that Cunningham Falls could be home for her just like it became for him years ago was satisfying. All the cameos from the original series were a bonus. Five stars go to Shelter.

Release Blitz: Saved by Hazel James

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

Asexual and HIV-positive, Greg has had a series of untrustworthy boyfriends who saw him as a challenge or told him they could accept his sexuality and status. Until they couldn’t. Still reeling from his latest breakup, Greg’s romantic heart beats a little faster when he meets Holden at a club, even though his brain whispers caution. For Holden, relationships are something he can’t afford. He’s been in the closet his entire adult life because it could cost him his job if anyone finds out he’s gay. At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Image
Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
