My Thoughts:
I have really enjoyed reading many of Cami Checketts’s books recently. They are fun and romantic. Her other series was more romance/action/suspense while this one was more romance and mystery. The three main characters with POVs were Jake, his grandma Ruby, and Chanel, with a little from the “bad” guy.

I loved that Ruby had a little romantic plot line going on, too cute. Ruby did not want to take the police’s word for it that her friends in the retirement home had died of “old age.” She believed they were murdered and had to prove it. Ruby was cute and feisty. I didn’t think I would connect to a character that much older than me, but I really did. She was too fun.

Jake was rugged, handsome, and a devoted grandson. I loved the scenes with him and Ruby’s retirement friends teasing him. Hilarious! Chanel loved her job at the retirement home, especially when Jake came to visit. I loved the romance building throughout from both couples.

There wasn’t a ton of scenes with Jake’s sister Brinley, but I would love to read her life as a single mom in the next book. She was a strong woman.

Poison Me was funny and utterly romantic for all ages!

image and summary from Goodreads

The last of the Colorado Clearbrook trilogy was a wonderful entertaining romance like the first two books. Max was the youngest Clearbrok brother at 28 years old and a rugged cowboy. Annie was 25 and looking for a fresh start. She was a friend Hannah met in book one. Again the brothers’ dad Fritz was up to his old matchmaking tricks with some help from his grandson and daughters-in-law.

Max was ridiculously charming as a feisty cowboy. He definitely kept me laughing with his rope and how he used his roping skills. Annie’s first impression of him was pretty funny. There were some good laughs throughout with a whole bunch of romantic tension. Love it.

Take yourself on a beautifully romantic journey by reading the entire Colorado Clearbrook trilogy back to back. Enjoy!

THIS IS BOOK 2 OF A SERIES!
Book 1: Almost Midnight

image and summary from Goodreads

My Thoughts:
Another beautiful romance in the Colorado Clearbrooks series. This one follows Tanner’s brother Rafe on his journey to find love. Rafe was such a ladies man as the sought after doctor in town, and Candy was one nurse that didn’t want to fall at his feet. Their chemistry was perfect. Rafe thought he should be able to win any girl’s heart while Candy was going to have non of that. Candy also happened to be Hannah’s best friend from the first book.

Some of this story took place in the Bahamas, and I wish there were more scenery moments there. Beaches are magical places for romance. I enjoyed having the other brothers involved in the story some.

I love these clean romances! They are so fun to read. I love when a romance author can write clean entertaining stories where the characters follow my believes by waiting until marriage to do more than kiss. Some of the lines were a bit cheesy and it seemed to follow the same pattern as book one, but that didn’t bother me.

Almost Sundown was another chemistry filled contemporary romance and found myself wanting more after the last page.

My Thoughts:
I really enjoyed The Clearbrooks series by this author so when I saw this new series about the desendents of the Clearbrooks I had to read it. I’m happy I did!

The story was told from both Hannah’s and Tanner’s POV. Hannah and Tanner met in the most awkward way for Hannah. It was pretty funny and really realistic. Hannah was sweet and caring and somewhat emotionally broken from a past relationship. Tanner was confident and kind but recovering from his own sad past. I was interested to see how they would work out their own emotions and find their way together.

Fritz, Tanner’s dad, hired Hannah to tutor Tanner’s eight year old son Jeremy. That kid was such a cutie. It was sweet to see Tanner as a dad. Fritz was a spunky and hilarious addition to the characters.

This was a beautiful and sweet romance with a charming gentleman of a man. I really enjoyed immersing myself in this book. I wish the two other brothers who are the main characters in the next books were featured more in this first one. Each of the three brothers were amazing in their own way. You’ll want to have all three books ready to read because this is a fun and relaxing clean romance to hide in for a few days.

THIS IS BOOK 2 IN THE SERIES!
Book 1: Intangible

image and summary from Goodreads

My Thoughts:
I love books in a series. It was so fun to feel connected to the characters so quickly because I already knew them. I’m usually not a fan of paranormal, but I loved this book!

The book started a month or more after Intangible ended with POVs from Luke and Sera and sometimes Fey and Jonas. There was some romantic relationships building up throughout the book. Cute. Happy. Sad. Frustrating! I really want to see more of these unique love stories and can’t wait to read the next book.

Full of amazing characters, Imaginable was about relationships. I loved the relationship between the twins Luke and Sera. Luke was hilarious! They had a loyal friend named Quinn who really became a favorite of mine. Other friends were able to show their loyalty and bravery as things got intense and suspenseful. Jonas was cool as always but was seriously a scary and fierce vampire.

Imaginable was intense, exciting, and full of paranormal. A must read for YA paranormal fans!

THIS IS BOOK 3 IN THE SERIES!
Book 1: Possession
Book 2: Surrender

image and summary from Goodreads

My Thoughts:
I was so torn about this rating. It was hard to come to a decision. I wanted to read it every minute of every day. When I wasn’t reading it I wanted to be. The plot and characters were on my mind constantly. That for me means it was a 5 star book… when I’m that obsessed. I’m just so ANGRY about the ending. I did see it coming and it added to the drama, but I didn’t like it!

Each book in the series had different characters telling their POV. This book was Jag and Zenn. I was so attached to the other characters from previous books that I wished the POV was from all of them, especially Gunn, Vi, and Raine.

This book broke my heart at times. Zenn’s love for Vi made my heart ache. Zenn was my favorite. He was so complex, but with half of the book from his POV he was easy to understand. I felt every emotion with him: heart ache, new love, confusion, anger, fear. This roller coaster of emotions will make you cry… I sure did.

Jagg was still tough and a hard shell to break as the resistance leader. He had some swoony scenes with Vi though. Definitely made me smile.

The end was frustrating, and I didn’t see the purpose for it. It seemed out of character from the rest of the books. Some bad choices by main characters were made that weren’t explained, but maybe that’s the point. No ones perfect.

The Possession series was inventive and thrilling. I loved these books! Abandon was just as wonderful to read. If you haven’t read these books you need to… like soon.

THIS IS BOOK 3 IN THE SERIES!
Book 1: So Not Happening
Book 2: I’m So Sure

image and summary from Goodreads

My Thoughts:
Another hilarious read in this super fun series. Bella found herself part of the circus… literally… LOL. She was so focused on solving a murder that happened at the circus that she decided to join up as a clown. Ruthie was a fun sidekick this time, but she came across ditzy unlike just tough in the other book. I liked the murder mystery part of the story. Definitely intriguing.

The relationship part of the story was annoying. I couldn’t figure Luke out! What was the deal?! But I did eventually realize how much Bella needed to grow and work through.  She also wasn’t happy about her Dad wanting to remarry.

This was a fun read with lots of mystery and a great end to the series! If you like funny, clean, contemporary YA fiction you’d love this series.

All 3 books in this series are what make up the eBook A Charmed Life. It’s like 3 for the price of 1! Click cover below
