ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 22, 2024

A wedding dress is meant to be worn only once.
When a stranger finds herself in need of a miracle at the last minute, I do the unthinkable: I offer mine to her.
The same one I wore down the aisle for my late husband.
Now I’m invited to the wedding and finding myself wondering why I shut myself away from the world for so long.
I’m only meant to be at the Wilder Retreat for a single day except I go home with not only a job offer, but the promise of something more.
Ridge Wilder is hiding secrets of his own. And the undeniable chemistry between us burns before we even contemplate taking that first step.
Only I’ve already had my happy ever after. I never planned on finding another.
And Ridge is even far more broken than I am—with a past that might come back to haunt us both.

REVIEW:Moments For You is the next installment in the Wilder Brothers series by the ever radiant Carrie Ann Ryan. MFY is the seventh book in the series, and as always, I recommend reading a series in order to get the most out of it, but if you so choose the book can be read as a standalone.

Oh the feels with this one!

Aurora is a widow, one stuck in a limbo of her own making. On the anniversary day of her lost husband, she is mindlessly scrolling Insta, and sees a post from a desperate bride in need of a wedding gown. Aurora takes this as her long awaited sign that it is finally time to move on with her life and start living again. So she allows the new bride to wear her dress, this singular act brings more into her life than she could ever know. It brings her Ridge Wilder.

Ridge and his brothers are cousins of the original Wilder brothers, and so they bought the land across from their retreat to start their own business. Little does the rest of the family know the heartbreaking pain that Ridge is in. -No spoilers- He thinks he hides it so well behind his gruff exterior and surly attitude, but when he meets Aurora he finds himself drawn to her by their familiar pain. Between the two Wilder businesses, most know of Aurora’s loss, and give her the space she wants, but when she donates her dress, they start to think that maybe she is ready to move past it and start living again.

Ridge and Aurora’s story was so emotionally moving. I loved how they supported each other through everything, it was so moving how they bonded over their pain, but even more so that that is how they really start to get to know one another. As the story progresses, the characters evolve more and more, but Aurora is truly my favorite. She starts living again, really living and doing things that she loves again. Overall, I am pleased with the book and can’t wait to see what the other Wilder Brother-Cousin have coming for them.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 11, 2023

I was ready to say, ‘I do’, then my fiancé left me at the altar.
Broken and embarrassed, Trace and Elliot helped me run away—ditching my wedding dress in the process.

When I come back to the Wilder Retreat to show the world I’m no longer hurting, I know I must ignore my traitorous needs when it comes to these two men.

Because my body wants them both.
And my soul craves them just as much.

I know I can’t choose, and part of me asks why I should.
Only when we decide to take that chance and share everything, the danger from our pasts refuses to let our choice stand.

With one kiss, one dance into temptation, we could lose everything.
Including our lives.

REVIEW:Finding The Road to Us is the sixth and final installment of the Wilder Family series by Carrie Ann Ryan. Like always, I recommend reading the series in order to get the most out of it, and in the current book storyline, I think it’s important to know what had previously happened. This is a MMF spicy romance with a grumpy, ex-military alpha hero.

There’s a little more drama to this book compared to the others, but Trace, Elliot and Sidney’s romance is more than just the two of them. The last we see of Trace and Elliot, they are literally dangling off a cliff. They survive their situation and then meet Sidney.

Sidney is the missing piece to Trace and Elliot’s relationship and one I definitely didn’t see coming. Sidney was easy to like, and even more so when the guys came into the picture. I really like that she is the black sheep of her family, and even with all the BS they put her through, she managed to keep who she is at heart.

Overall the storyline is fast paced, entertaining and engaging, the spicy bits are good and the character development of Trace and Elliott really make it.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 14, 2023

The world thinks I only write songs about my ex-boyfriends.

They study each lyric to point a finger at which man broke my heart—even if I’ve never met him.

Only the man I refuse to write about is the one who is so tangled in my mind that I know I can never be with him.

I had one night with East Wilder, and I know that’s all there will ever be.

He broke my heart without even trying.

Yet now I can’t seem to write a single verse and I need a place to hide while I figure out who I am. The Wilder Retreat will have to be my refuge as the Wilders prepare for my best friend’s wedding.

And when I’m there, I refuse to fall for East again.

Even if the dark shadows in his eyes draw me in. And the dangers of his past might be the one thing that forces us to finally give in.

•••••

REVIEW:We are back with the Wilders! Stay Here With Me is the fifth installment in the Wilder Brothers series by Carrie Ann Ryan and this book is the story of the Grumpy East and Lark the song bird. For new readers, I do recommend reading the Wilder series in order, you can read SWM as a standalone, but the characters are much more rounded when you do.

East is the grumpy handyman of Wilder Events, it’s what he is known for. He is struggling and quiet, but always there when people need him. Lark on the other hand is free spirited, she loves her music, but she is for her new album, the inspiration just isn’t there. Lark is famous for her music, her songs on her relationships to be more specific, she has always used the same person as a muse for her music, but now things have changed. Now there is East.

When East and Lark spend one heck of a night together, filled with passion, the music she has struggled to find sparks to light. Too bad she promised East that he wouldn’t end up a song for the masses. The song is everything, and one of the best she has ever made, but when it gets released…well lets just say that East is not pleased.

There were parts of this book that I liked more than others, but the plot is good and the characters are always enjoyable to read. East is so broken, his trust is hard to win, Lark is good for him, but with his PTSD everyday is a struggle. This book is intense, the journey of these two us a turbulent adventure, but one readers will surely love.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 10, 2023

I made plans. I followed the path. I fell in love.

Then the world took her away from me.

I swore to never love again, and I’ve done all I could to keep that vow.

But life finds a way and I can’t stop this burning attraction with my best friend.

Maddie stood by me when my world shattered.

She deserves more than a broken man who promised to never love again.

Only I swear she feels the same way about me. And I have no idea what to do about it.

Now she might leave the Wilders and I can’t tell her to stay—even if it means shattering the one piece of me I have left.

••••••

REVIEW:Coming Home for Us is the fourth installment in the Wilder Brothers series by Carrie Ann Ryan. This series is home to the ex-military Wilder brothers and the women they fall for. As always, I recommend reading a series in order to get the best experience of the story, but C.A.R does provide enough goodness if you chose to read as a standalone.

Maddie and Elijah are the couple for this adventure, and of course we get a nice visit from the previous three pairs from the first few books. Maddie is a wholesome, good girl who is looking to find herself, and she does that at the Wilders Vineyard. Maddie and Elijah’s romance is a bit like a best friend/coworker romance, she falls for him, but he doesn’t see her as anything but a friend, falls for another women, breaking Maddie’s heart in the process, tragedy strikes, grief and pain ensue and then finally light and love shine again.

When Maddie has to make a hard choice to stay or go, she is conflicted and unsure. She loves the life and the family and friends she has built at the vineyard, but seeing Elijah and not being able to be with him, is so painful. Is a change worth it? When Elijah loses the women he thought he would spend his life with, he’s a hot mess, let’s be honest. Understandably. Slowly he starts to see the light again, and Maddie, but she’s not the same as she was before. Or so Elijah thinks. After years, even with Elijah determined to never go through that pain again and swearing off love, Maddie happens. When he starts seeing her in a more womanly way, he starts to think that maybe being happy isn’t as scary as he thought it would be.

Maddie and Elijah were so loveable! The rest of the Wilder family was rooting for them so much, all wanting two of their favorite people to be happy together. I really liked that we got a full story with Maddie and Elijah, even with all the pain he had to go through with Joy, to finally get his HEA was so amazing. This series is a keeper for sure, I can’t wait to see what comes next in the series. I hope that Lark will get a story!!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 15, 2022

It took two days for me to know Kendall was the one for me.

And it took two years for me to realize I had to leave in order to protect her.

When I walked away, I told myself it was for the best. But now we work together, and every time we’re in the same room, we end up fighting. If we didn’t, we’d end up naked. Or worse–spilling heartbreaking secrets.

If she knew the truth, she’d either walk away for good or convince me to take a second chance. The first thing would break me, and the second would break her. I can’t let either of those things happen

•••••••

REVIEW:  The Wilder Brothers are back at it again with the next installment in their series. C.A.R says this book is an enemy to lovers, and I guess in a way it is, however it feels more like a second chance romance to me.

Evan and Kendall married young, with a love that we all dream about, or so she had thought. When Evan blind sides her with a no nonsense divorce, he breaks her heart and her spirit. With her heart now broken and her so called soulmate gone, Kendall has to rebuild her life all over again. Fast forward almost a decade later, and Kendall takes a job at her ex’s family business. Evan is everywhere she looks, and even though she carries the Wilder name, she knows she’s not one of them anymore.

Evan is out of the service and building up the family business. Leaving Kendall all those years ago was the right choice in protecting her from all his baggage, but seeing her everyday involved in his family’s business, it has his feelings all over the place. As Kendall and Evan dance around each other, they also have to deal with the competition that is stealing clients from them.

As Kendall and Evan grow closer to one another, old feelings start to spark and emotions that they both thought were long gone start to swirl again. Life isn’t that easy though, and the past can’t be easily forgotten. Kendall needs answers and Evan is the one that has them, but will he share them with her after all these years.

*Sigh*

Evan and Kendall are everything. These two finding one another again after so many years is a treat to read. Kendall has spent so much time thinking about why Evan left her, but when she sees him again she is thrown right back to the day he gave her those divorce papers. Evan protecting her the way he did was a bit of a surprise, I had hoped something else would have come out about it, but it did not. Towards the end, where he finally starts to share about what happened is my favorite, you really get to see him as a character and why he did what he did. C.A.R never lets her readers down and I can’t wait to see what the Wilder family gives us next.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 18, 2022

Years later, I’m in desperate need of a wedding planner—not for myself, but for my company.

But there’s the little matter that I still have it bad for her. Alexis has changed since the night we met. She’s gun shy. But there’s a spark between us that will not die. We both fight it, until we don’t.
Until history repeats itself. The same guy who took her away from me is back to do more damage. But this time he’ll have to go through me to get her.

••••••

REVIEW:Are you a military man type? Are you into over the top, hot alpha’s? Well if you are, this book is for you. The first in its series, One Way back by Carrie Ann is a contemporary romance story with no major triggers.

The Wilder brothers are six strong former military men who are trying to start their retirement off with the family business. Each Wilder brother I’m guessing will get their own book, so the series would naturally start at the beginning with the oldest brother; Eli. Now, while this is the first book of the Wilder series, it does tie in somewhat with Inked Obsession as they are Eliza’s brothers.

The series starts off pretty funny and I was hooked from there. A first dance and garter catch. That’s right, a garter catch, Eli and Alexis meet at a wedding! Their flirting is funny and casual, but neither takes it too seriously as Alexis’ boyfriend drops down to a knee and pops the big question. Too bad she chose wrong. Fast forward a few years, and Alexis is now starting to rebuild her life after her shady ex and their divorse. Through a mutual friend, she reunites with Eli, who coincidentally is looking for a wedding planner just like her.

Now that they have met again, their chemistry revamps higher than ever and both are eager to be working together. Eli seems to be a work-aholic and Alexis is stressed about her new business, but neither can stop the attraction for one another. Now all they need to do is take the plunge. Do they trust each other and give into their connection?

Woweiiii! C.A.R never disappoints! I loved the coworker vibe that they have going on, and the chemistry between Eli and Alexis. The drop in from previous books characters where a happy surprise and I very much look forward to see what the other Wilder Brothers have to offer us.
