Book Review: Snowed in with Grumpy by Olivia Noble (Silver Mountain)

     Ava was told by her boss that she needed to get to some nowhere town and convince the owner to sell. Shouldn't be too hard except Garland only likes his solitude, growling, and kids. Then when she was just about to give up and just go home rather than deal with the jerk a freaking avalanche falls on her vehicle trapping her there. Just perfect. 

    Ava is trying to help her parents and her sisters with this commission, so I get where she is coming from. Although, I think my favorite character is her best friend. Actually, I know it is. He is amazing. Then there is Garland. Garland is adorable. By that, of course, I mean he hates everyone except when someone actually manages to get close to him then he turns into this sweet lovey male. Unless they are kids. 

    I can say that the book was very well written, beyond cute, and has a happily ever after. I am sure this is a part of a series, but I haven't read anything else by this author, yet, and did not feel like I was missing vital information. It is possible it is book one. I genuinely don't know. When I went to the Amazon page it just said Silver Mountain after it. Not if it was book 1 or 100. More digging could have provided this information, but it wasn't very important at the moment. 

    Ava is an absolute klutz and she manages to hurt herself time and again while mostly just frustrating Garland. Still, I think he handled things pretty well 90% of the time. I would absolutely read more on this series, if it is a series, or just by this author. From the best friend to them cursing in Christmas, no, I am not kidding, the book is amazing. 

    Side note that is important to some and not to others. There is some spice to the book, but not a ton. It is absolutely a romance, but there just aren't a lot of play scenes. Mostly plot focused.

Book Review: Waiting for You by Lea Coll (Annapolis Harbor Book 6)

     Ava has had a crush on her best friend's brother since forever. But Alex has never looked twice at her. Now, he is staying at her Bed & Breakfast while in town for her best friend's wedding. Except he seems to be looking at her with a new intensity. Could he be seeing her for more than someone that is off limits? Is she willing to risk her relationship with her best friend and adoptive family? 

    While this is book 6 in a series I absolutely feel that it can be read as a stand-alone. I could be saying this because I have zero idea what is going on in this town and series and be absolutely wrong, but I don't feel like I have gaps. I haven't read any other books in the series, although this book was beyond adorable so I would be completely okay with doing so. 

    On to the goods. There is a bit of spice to the book, although it is primarily plot. Ava sees Alex for the first time in forever while he is playing music at the wedding and all those old feelings come rushing back. There is the normal who fell first type thing, but it seems that there was always a bit of a spark, even though one side felt it a bit more strongly. We get to know the characters and everything works out amazingly. 

    I love that the characters bring out the best in each other. Knowing they have their primary jobs while pushing them to explore and heighten their hobbies to make theirs, and others lives better. Plus, I am a sucker for baking books. Don't ask me why. I genuinely don't know. All in all I loved this book.
