My Review is for Sugar Cookie Kisses 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is the first book I have read by Katie O'Connor and I really enjoyed. All the characters were a lot of fun and I enjoyed getting brought into the world of Cherry Lake. Sage and Taylor were a very fun couple to read about and I was so happy when they get their happy ending. I hope to read more books in this town in the future and to see several more books added to the Cherry Lake Fire Fighters Series.

Declan O’Leary lives his life day by day, one woman at a time. He can’t afford to fall in love because of a century-old family curse. When he first sees Lily, he’s instantly attracted to her but she’s one elusive woman. Every time he approaches her, something happens and she gets away. Finally, a week before St. Patrick’s Day, he sees her in his brother’s pub and finally talks to her. Not only is she beautiful, but brainy too. They instantly hit it off, and he finds himself making an offer he’d never expected to make—they could be together for one week and then say goodbye, no strings attached.
This is a great story. Declan’s fear of love and losing the woman he loves is heartfelt and so understandable. His family has been through so much pain, especially his sexy older brother Aiden, and Declan doesn’t want to follow in their footsteps. Lily’s back story is heart wrenching too. Though different, their pain drew them together in ways neither expected and in ways they didn’t know they wanted.
Though I found the pacing a little slow at times, it’s very refreshing to read a story without typos. I noticed absolutely none in this story. Bravo to the author! It’s told in first person, Declan’s POV. It was a little strange to only read from the hero’s POV, but it made sense for the plot. I still got to know Lily very well, so I don’t think I missed anything by not reading in her POV.
If you want a sweet, heartwarming, and very sexy story, this is a great book to pick up.

A Thousand Moments by Kelly Moran is a great short novella to introduce us to the upcoming Heart of Vallantine series. A Thousand Moments introduces us to the small town of Vallantine, Georgia and some of the characters that live there.

Rosemary Fillmore is a literary teacher in the southern town. She thinks that no one ever notices her and if she was to disappear no one would even notice. Sheldon Brown is shy, dorky man that inherited the Vallantine Library because he's the only living descendant of the founders of the town. The library is in disrepair and needs a lot of help to survive. Three of Rosemary's students, affectionally known by the Bookish Belles, give her a makeover and secretly set her up with Sheldon. Can they save the failing library and find love in the process?

I really enjoyed this short but sweet novella. I can't want to read more in the series, which will follow the characters of Vallantine, specifically the Bookish Belles.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.… (meer)
