 Author: Misty Provencher GENRE: steamy, contemporary, romance, NOT suitable for young adult readers |
Running about 7 bananas strong on shots from Hale and Oscar Maree’s wedding bar, what happened between Landon Grace and Sher Traifere was supposed to be a one time thing. A quickie on a romantic night. Sher wanted a fast evening of fireworks to remember on the dull horizon of her life; Landon wanted to get his mind off his psycho ex by feeling Sher’s curves. By the end of the evening, a secret of Sher’s complicates Landon’s attempt to escape the girl’s chainsaw giggle.
Some one-night-stands just can’t be finished in one night.
Even more complicating, this one rises back up with a hard shot of morning sickness and an entire repertoire of questions. The most important being: how much pull does a guy really have in a woman’s choice to pursue or terminate a pregnancy?
And in this case, how clever can he be about stealing her pants?

THIS is Landon *sigh*
My Review:
"Full of Grace" opens where book one (Hale Maree) left us, with Hale & Oscar's wedding. This time Misty focuses on Landon *sigh* & Sher. This unlikely pair share a drunken passionless & very brief encounter. Although Landon finds Sher attractive, he has no intention of a serious relationship with her & the two go about their separate lives. Unbeknownst to Landon, that night resulted in a life long commitment that will forever bind him to Sher.........She's pregnant. Landon is determined to help not only with the pregnancy, but also raising the baby. Astonished & frightened, Sher only sees one way out of this baby induced confinement - abortion. Landon finds himself using any means necessary, including hiding Sher's clothes (no you read that correctly) to convince Sher their baby's life is worth the many sacrifices they would endure.
While battling for his baby's life, Landon finds himself falling in love with Sher. He wants to be with her because of who she is & the baby is just an extra bonus instead of the entire reason for them to have a future. Sher however, is battling her own demons. Despite the fact she's deeply in love with Landon, Sher refuses to follow in her mother's footsteps - raising a baby alone. Is Landon's love strong enough to overcome Sher's insecurities or will she leave & walk away from the best thing that ever happened to her?
*giggle*
What I thought:
I loved this book!! Even though it deals with some heavy topics (unplanned pregnancy & abortion), Misty keeps it light & funny. From surprise temporary tattoos to beautiful love letters, I found myself laughing hysterically to crying joyful tears. You won't be able to put this book down & you will absolutely fall in love with these unbelievably realistic characters. 5 out of 5 cowgirl hats
****COWBOY OF THE WEEK: LANDON****
*sigh*
Landon, Landon, Landon *sigh* he's the perfect guy......funny, sexy, intelligent, sexy, giving, sexy, sarcastic, sexy, determined, sexy, faithful did I say sexy?? When Sher announces she's pregnant, Landon doesn't run away & hide like many guys would, nope! He immediately does anything he can to prove to Sher this baby is a gift & not a mistake. Landon doesn't yell & fight with Sher about keeping the baby, instead he hides her clothes & calmly drinks coffee while Sher frantically tares his apartment apart looking for them. Landon makes it his mission to prove to Sher that with this baby, they can create new & even better memories than those on her "bucket list." If you want to meet a perfect, sexy, charming guy.....Landon's your guy!

While the depth of the accident has just begun to unfold, Otto Maree, a prominent business man and old family friend, stands to lose everything because of it. Otto is desperate for Hale's father to stay quiet about what occurred the night the two men meet for a drink. Out of mutual moments of desperation, the two fathers forge a deal. Jerry is desperate to gain financial stability for both himself and Hale, and Otto Maree is more than willing to pay to keep his secret just that.

Title: Keyston
Genre:Paranormal
There’s a man-made storm coming, like a rip in the world, and it’s called the Cusp.
Struggling to fit into the destiny she’s accepted, Nalena Maxwell has been left with one objective: she must find her murdered grandfather’s Memory. Stolen and hidden away by her own father over seventeen years ago, the Memory could be the key to ending the Cusp and destroying the Ianua’s rival community, The Fury.
Driven by each individual’s selfish desires, The Fury has always lacked the loyalty and organization it needs to be an actual force of power.
Until now.
Someone masterminded the Fury’s massive attack on the Ianua, slaughtering twelve of their thirteen community leaders, the Addos. Now there are rumors that the 13th Cura, to which Nali belongs, has gone to the Fury, manipulating the last Addo in order to control the other 12 Curas.
As the Cusp brings the Fury and their own communities against them, Nalena’s Cura must preserve the Ianua, but finding the key to the Cusp isn’t as simple as it seems.

And she was safe in Garrett’s arms.
Then it all comes rushing back—the riots, The Fury, the Cusp. The Ianua community is in a major jam.
Forced into survival mode, the Ianua are holed up in the fortress of the Hotel Celare. Each Cura’s top-ranking members have gathered to guard the last remaining Addo, as the entire community also scrambles to trust one another and organize a new game plan to overthrow The Fury.
The trick is to keep the human race alive.
But The Fury’s game has changed. They have a Mastermind at the helm and he is out to destroy the Ianua.
Terrifying and brilliant, this mysterious Mastermind has organized and focused The Fury like never before. He has recruited the Simple and unleashed the Cusp’s wide-spread chaos all around the world.
And behind the scenes of this big picture, Nalena and everyone around her are busy trying to keep up, while also absorbing the rapid-fire aftershocks of their changing lives. There are traitors everywhere.
While The Cusp is expected to bring twists and turns, Nalena and Garrett never expected it to throw a silverware-drawer full of forks into the road. Each path tests their loyalty and their faith and makes them question who is who.
