Review: Jordan
It’s not love at first sight for Jordan Sommerville and Georgia Barnes. It all starts in a bar, then leads to being put in the back seat of the same police car with a possible arrest in both of their futures. Adelaide is just doing what she must do to survive and provide a life for her children, her mother, and herself. Jordan finds himself attracted to Georgia and realizes he’s able to help her out in a lot of ways. If only she’ll let him. But pride stands in the way. Can he get past her defenses and show her he’s actually one of the good guys?

Jordan is such a sweetheart, and I enjoyed his story very much.

Review: His Secretary’s Surprise Fiancé
Adelaide Thibodeaux has plans for her future that don’t include Dempsey Reynaud, her boss and childhood friend. When Dempsey realizes he might lose his much-needed assistant, he announces their engagement in public, figuring it will give him more time to talk some sense into her. Sure, she deserves to start her dream business, but he doesn’t want to lose her. Although they had been friends during their struggling youth, lately there have been stronger feelings that neither one is willing to admit to. They agree to a time limit for the fake engagement, but only because he believes he’ll prevail. But as she gets to know Dempsey’s family and sees another side to him, she can’t help but fall for him. Will Dempsey ever admit that the feeling is mutual?

A fun story by a new-to-me author.

Jordan is the quiet one til something happens and he is right in the middle of it! When he goes to a bar to talk to the owner about his patrons messing up place in Buckhorn he is gobsmacked when the nights entertainment comes out. he can't keep his eyes off of her. He is fascinated and feeling things he hasn't in a long time. When she is through and is about to walk off stage a man grabs her..that sets off Jordan and he goes to defend her honor. Georgia is not happy! She and Jordan both are arrested and while waiting for Morgan to pick them up they are stuck together. She is pissed and Jordan is smitten! The things that ensue lead to a very entertaining book! You are not going to want to put it down as you want to see how he man caveman Jordan turns..I loved this book so much!
