So far I've only read one book in this bundle: Calling His Bluff by Amy Jo Cousins. I bought the rest today and I'll read them soon. I really enjoyed this book. It was full of feelings and that special ability to be yourself and at the same time be whoever you want. The writing was funny and real and I fell in love with both characters right away. I think my favorite line was “It's like two polar bears crapped a giant frozen poo and they built a city on it.” Maybe not the favorite line for everyone, but I thought it was perfect and original.
This is book three in the series of the Tyler siblings. Sarah is the down to earth, bookish sibling. She seems introverted, but not too shy. Smart and determined as well. I liked her a lot. She's sort of stuck in this role and only allows herself freedom from it when she goes to Vegas. She likes who she is, but enjoys the freedom to be someone else too.
It just so happens that her brother's best friend comes back into town, whom she's had a huge crush on, kisses her, and in trying to pull his foot out of his mouth later, invites her to Vegas. J.D. sees a side of her that he's never seen before while in Vegas and finds even more reason to love her, because he's somewhat harbored a thing for her too. Things get a little out of hand when he says they got married on the night Sarah was too drunk to remember.
J.D., well, he's sort of emotionally young since he carried on the marriage charade for as long as he did. I didn't doubt for a minute that he loved Sarah, but we really didn't spend much time in his head to understand why he'd keep up the act. I mean, I got the whole little-boy-lost thing, but I was a little so-so on how easily he could spend time with Sarah without telling her the truth. Everything else about him seemed so mature and emotionally in-tune that it was hard to reconcile his ability to keep from saying anything.
I think some of this came down to the timeline jumps. There were a couple times when stuff happens, door closes for the end of the scene, and when you start the next chapter it seems to be the next day, but then you find out it's days or weeks later. It didn't interrupt my enjoyment, but they were the moments my brain had to screech to a stop and re-process before I could move on. I had trouble believing that J.D. and Sarah could practically live together for weeks without him saying something or her looking up the records or anything like that. Maybe in the end they both just wanted to believe the fairy tale.
J.D. and Sarah were really good together and they gave me some good, happy feelings. Both characters were grown ups with their emotions (barring the whole marriage thing) and knew how to deal with their issues. They were loyal and dependable. And in a great way, each character could be responsible without having it held against them. There wasn't really much conflict in the book. It was more the process of them finding out they were meant to be together, not really a story of them overcoming obstacles.
Neither character has very prominent friends in the book, but I loved seeing the Tyler family again. They didn't appear all that much in this book, but I love how supportive they are and all the ways they don't take themselves too seriously. They have a good time together and it feels almost like the perfect family.
Of the three books in the series, I've enjoyed this one the most so far, which is saying a lot because I liked the others too. It's a great addition to the family and I can't wait to read Maxie's story. While the story was pretty steamy, it did leave a lot of details behind closed doors. The pace was pretty quick and I was emotionally invested in these two. I was left with a happy, satisfied feeling.
I received a complementary ARC of this novel from the author.

Willow Reade is pretty unlucky. Stuck in Vermont after her boyfriend bails on her, she’s barely scraping by on her farm with a bevy of chickens and her best friend, Callie, as her only company. Her dreams of becoming a child psychologist have gone unfulfilled, and now she wonders if her life will ever get back on the track she’d envisioned.
Dane Hollister is lucky in sports, but not so much in personal relationships. As an alpine ski champion, he races down hills at 90 mph and zooms that quickly away from people wanting to get close to him. He’s got good reasons. Personal reasons. Secret reasons. Reasons that could destroy him, so he avoids entanglements. No sense in hoping for a future that just isn’t going to happen anyway.
When Willow practically runs Dane’s Jeep off the snowy road during a blizzard, they’ll have to get creative to keep warm while waiting for a plow to rescue them.
Or just maybe they’ll rescue each other.
First off, the snowbound-in-Vermont setting is the perfect backdrop for this story. It makes the cold moments colder and the hot moments hotter. It also throws the hero and heroine into an instant coziness that makes the reader want to get trapped in a Jeep during a blizzard too. Just another reason to make sure you’ve got on clean underwear and everything that’s supposed to be shaven is, ladies. While there could be more outdoor adventures—people in Vermont generally spend more time outside than in—this tale works well in this setting.
The instant chemistry between Willow and Dane feels real. It sparks naturally, is magnetic, and who doesn’t love descriptions of a sexy Olympian? “She felt much better when his door opened again, and Dane’s hearty smile reappeared. With the dome light on, she could see how blue his eyes were, and the extraordinary length of his lashes. And that curly hair was delicious.” Willow can’t help but fall under his spell. It should be noted, however, for all who adore bearded heroes, in one scene Dane apologizes for his facial hair after he’s been through a rough series of events.
No apologies needed, dude. Beards rule. Always. Especially in Vermont.
Though their conversations with each other don’t always reveal much about them, the physical interactions between Willow and Dane say more than enough. Their needs come across loud and clear.
So do their fears.
Ms. Bowen does a solid job of crafting internal conflicts for both Willow and Dane. And it’s a good thing too. Without the background information readers receive about Willow, one might be inclined to think her too insecure. She’s gotten herself into several situations that could have been avoided had she thought more carefully. Given her childhood, however, her behavior is explainable.
The same goes for Dane. He can be a jerk. A fairly large one. “Did you climb into anyone else’s motor vehicle? Any guy’s bed? The bathroom in a bar? If you’d do it in the back of my Jeep, who knows where else you’ve…” Dane says to Willow. But again, the author has given him good cause to be this way, and he gains the reader’s forgiveness for his mistakes. Ms. Bowen gives him an emotional depth that reaches right to the heart and stays there.
The conclusion to this book is satisfying. The author doesn’t try to paint a picture where Dane and Willow have everything figured out to the last detail, which is refreshing. She didn’t rush it, and she stayed true to the characters she developed, again making this hero and heroine much more believable and the story quite enjoyable.
Readers will love warming their hearts with Coming in From the Cold.

I received a free copy of this collection in exchange for an honest review. At nearly 800 pages, four full-length stories, it's a great way to sample four very different contemporary romance authors.
Coming in from the Cold - Sarina Bowen
5 stars. This novel utilizes several of the contemporary romance tropes that push all my hot buttons, but does them so well that I totally loved this story. Dane "Danger" Hollister, loosely modeled on Olympic skier Bodie Miller, has very solid reasons for the death-defying risks he takes, and his refusal to ever consider anything more than a one-night stand. Would-be psychologist turned struggling chicken farmer Willow Reade might be down on her luck but she's a go-getter who is willing to do whatever it takes to rescue herself.
Super hot, funny, ("Sex in a Jeep" as a bar drink *snort*) the characters were believable, likable, and while yes, mistakes were made by both of them, they weren't stupid. The snow and the skiing details drew me in and made me feel like I was there (can I blame the crick in my neck from that Jeep?). This author goes on my auto-buy list.
Maid to Fit - Rebecca Avery
4 stars. Some of the things about this story I loved; others I found unbelievable and/or unrealistic.
Idea of a maid service made up of hunky, at-loose-ends former soldiers? Awesome. Sympathy and emotional connection with single, "sandwich" mom Kayla Clark, caught between the needs of her teen daughter, her Alzheimer-stricken mother, and a demanding job? Total.
But Ronnie Brown was a little too good, TOO made-to-fit to be believable. The only flaw he seemed to have was a belief that coaching a cheerleading team was not "masculine," even as he recruited boys to participate.Seemed to me the concern might have been that people/Kayla might worry that he was a creeper. Even his family, who came to help in time of crisis, was a little TOO perfect; some family member should have been annoying or used up the last of the toilet paper without replacing it, SOMETHING. And why, with a family that loving and supportive, wouldn't Ronnie have chosen to retire from the military to his home town, instead of going north to a strange Ohio city with his buddies? Some at least minor family conflict, feeling of being smothered, or something, would have made that choice understandable.
I couldn't get enough of Sargeant Buck, in all his furry good-dogness, and wholly believed in HIM as I have fond memories of my own Shepherd-Akita mix, named Sarge; yes, dogs CAN be that smart (though most of them aren't). The chemistry between Kayla and Ronnie was good, the sex scenes were fine, (and kudos on condom use!). But it felt like some of the resolutions came too easy, like Kayla's new job, and Ronnie's job offer.
Calling His Bluff - Amy Jo Cousins
3.5 stars.
I liked shy, bookworm, veterinarian-next-door Chicago Sarah. I also liked red sparkly miniskirt crazysexycool Vegas Sarah. I just had trouble believing they inhabited the same skin; a little more confidence in the one, and an occasional doubt/insecurity shown in the other might have convinced me. As far as J.D... the business about maybe he's still legally married to his cheating wife was off-putting; even if he IS divorced, we all know rebound romances are a baaaad idea.
The sex was hot, although the whole who's married to who game felt contrived. I did find boob-jobbed and Botoxed ex-wife Lana an oddly likable and sympathetic character. And the humor throughout was terrific. Loved the hookers giving Sarah advice and the vet client who wanted her to "get back" the pet guinea pig swallowed by the pet boa.
Besides, who can resist a man who rescues kittens?
Baker’s Law - Denise McDonald
2 stars. While there were things to like here, there were too many things that rubbed me the wrong way. For example, there's the offhand remark tossed in that when Jax Carlisle moved from Austin to the small town of whatever-it-is, he left a few broken hearts behind. WHY? I think it was meant to underline his desirability, but it just makes him sound like a douchebag. I didn't really "buy" Marissa as a bakery owner, and her efforts the help Hill, a homeless teen who'd been crashing in her store, were laudable but not well-paced. First she's subject to self-doubt and questioning by her confidants for going too far, too fast, because she barely knows the kid, and then a very short time later she's getting in trouble for NOT taking formal steps to become a foster parent or adopt him. Hunh?
But mostly, it was the no-good-reason-for-it, let's-not-talk-about-it, on-again, off-again heat between Jax and Marissa that irritated. That and the head hopping. And the no-condoms sex. And the smashed-in-a-car-door injury to Marissa's hand that didn't bother her at all the next day. And the quick leaping from "we're not dating" to marriage and adoptive parenthood.
I did like Callie, and the idea of a gossipy small Texas town. I think many of the elements here could have made a great story, but this cupcake wasn't baked long enough.
Overall I give this collection 3.5 stars.
