LETTERS TO MOLLY (MAYSEN JAR #2) by DEVNEY PERRY

July 6, 2019

 

ABOUT THE BOOK:

 

Molly Alcott didn’t expect to open her mailbox one summer morning and find an old letter stuffed between bills and a supermarket flyer. Penned in familiar handwriting, dated over fifteen years ago, the letter was written to Molly after her first date with the man she’ll never forget.

Week after week, new letters appear. Each marks an event in the history of their epic love affair. Each heals a wound. Each holds the confession of the man who still owns Molly’s heart.

The letters are full of promise, hope and love, but truth be told, Molly wishes she could unread them all.

Because the man who wrote these letters is not the one sending them.

 

MY REVIEW:

 

“No matter how many days or months or years went by, Molly was still unforgettable. The best I’d ever had. The way she felt beneath me, her fingernails digging into my shoulder blades as I rocked us into oblivion, was like nothing else in the world.”

I love Devney Perry’s books and ‘The Coppersmith Farmhouse’ is still one of my favorites. That being said, ‘Letters to Molly’ was not one of my favorite books but I still enjoyed it. I actually loved how divorce here was only the beginning of the story and not the end. This version of a second-chance romance was definitely unique.

This book is about a divorced couple who did not part on good terms. They were once madly in love so how could their relationship have deteriorated so badly? Devney Perry wrote Finn and Molly’s story in alternating POV’s so that the reader really gets a sense of what went wrong. There two are not bad people and they are wonderful parents but they just could not stay together in a marriage.

“The thing about divorce is, there isn’t always one mistake. One nuclear bomb dropped on a couple that destroys their marriage. Sometimes, it creeps up on you slowly. And one day, realization hits and all you know is that you don’t want to be married anymore. Maybe a nuclear bomb would have been better than slowly burning to death.”

Six years after their divorce, Molly begins receiving letters in the mail that had been written to her by Finn over the course of their relationship. Both Finn and Molly slowly overcome their bitterness and resentment and begin to see that what they had was unique and special and once-in-lifetime. This is a romance so there is definitely a happy ending, but these two have a LOT to overcome first. The small-town setting was enjoyable as always and the harsh reality of single parenting was not glossed over.

I enjoyed the story but felt that it was unrealistic that Finn and Molly remained celibate during their years apart. It was sweet but I think a bit too simplistic. Other than that I really liked this sweet, sexy, second-chance romance.

TINSEL (LARK COVE #4) by DEVNEY PERRY

February 19, 2019

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sofia Kendrick has always cherished her tiara. As the youngest daughter of a wealthy New York family, she’s lived the life of an American princess. But after two scandalous divorces and a breakup smear her name across the society rags, the shine from her crown has dulled. People call her superficial, even gaudy.

She’s nothing more than tinsel.

Desperate for escape and starving for peace, Sofia heads to Montana for a holiday weekend with her brother. But she doesn’t get the relaxing vacation she planned. Instead, she’s put to work in a bar alongside Dakota Magee—a man who does not want her help. A man who is set on teaching her a few lessons about real life and hard work. But Sofia has a couple of life lessons of her own to teach. Like how to fall in love.

MY REVIEW:

“Be bold.
Find your magic.
Chase the impossible.”

Such a sweet small town romance! I am a huge fan of Devney Perry and her very first book ‘The Coppersmith Farmhouse’ is still one of my absolute favorites. This Lark Cove book is sweet and sexy and very low angst. If you are a fan of small-town romance, you’ll love Sofia and Dakota’s story.

Sofia comes to visit her brother in Montana after an unflattering story is published about her. She has lived for years in the public eye and knows all about the pitfalls of fame and beauty. She is unexpectedly put to work in a bar, and actually meets the new challenge head-on.

If there’s one thing Devney Perry knows, it’s her gorgeous Montana setting and the hard-working inhabitants of small towns like Lark Cove. I loved Dakota! When he first meets Sofia, he has very low expectations of her but Sofia proves him wrong and rises to the challenge.

I loved that although Sofia seemed to have it all, she was really just a lonely woman searching for acceptance and love. This is a beautifully romantic story about two people who may not look right for each other from the outside, but who really get to know each other and fall in love, body and soul.

‘Tinsel’ is a sweet and swoony romance with a sexy hero and lovely supporting characters. This is the perfect book to get lost in for awhile with a nice glass of wine or two. A wonderful end to the ‘Lark Cove’ series of books.

November 15, 2018

Alone.

So when Piper Campbell knocks on his door, rambling on about being his new neighbor, he slams the door in her face.

But Kaine’s gruff demeanor doesn’t scare her. She’s set on living in Montana and starting over after a terrible divorce. And she wouldn’t mind having a fling to chase away the pain of her husband’s betrayal. Her handsome, albeit rude, neighbor is the perfect candidate.

Yet what neither of them suspect is that their no-strings affair will result in the surprise of Piper’s lifetime—and Kaine’s worst fear.

SPOILER-FREE REVIEW:

 

I thoroughly enjoyed this sexy and down-to-earth romance!! An engaging and beautiful story with a very relatable heroine. If you love stories with Alpha heroes, you’ll love this one!! Highly recommend.

“I used to work with rock and roll turned up to eleven. That was before. Now, the only sounds I allowed in my shop were those from my power tools. I tolerated the forest’s noise but would close the overhead door if the wind blew too loudly in the trees or the birds chirped obnoxiously. I’d grown accustomed to quiet.”

Aahhhhh, a grumpy, sullen neighbor!! I love it. This book is part of the Lark Cove series but can be read as a complete standalone.

Piper has moved to the beautiful state of Montana to start over after her divorce. She purchased a run-down house that she is renovating and her neighbor turns out to be the very grim, very angry but very gorgeous Kaine.

The cover of this book is very telling and has SO much meaning after you read the book! Piper and Kaine hate each other at first but fall into a sex-only relationship very quickly. Piper is still reeling from her divorce and Kaine has vowed never to become attached to anyone ever again after a horrible tragedy. Their relationship is passionate, sweet and unfolds beautifully.

Kaine’s broken heart slowly heals with the help of Piper but they both make mistakes along the way. Will they both be able to put aside their past heartbreak and love again? I loved how the author mixed the heavy emotional theme with lots of sexy times and some very funny banter.

From here, only the corner of Kaine’s log cabin and its green tin roof were visible. But just that small glimpse made me smile because he was in there, hiding from me. “That was either the dumbest thing I’ve done in years or the smartest.” I touched my lips again. Smartest.

I am keeping this review spoiler-free because I think the book is much enjoyable if you go in knowing only the outline of the story. I really connected to this story and the characters. There was nothing forced or over-the-top and the family dynamics were perfectly written. And the chemistry between Kaine and Piper was just fantastic!

“Don’t worry.” Piper laughed. “You aren’t the reason I was crying.”
“I’m not?” She shook her head.
“No, those tears belonged to someone else. What happened between us earlier was the craziest thing I’ve done in a long, long time, but I’m not upset about it. I don’t regret it.”
“I don’t either.”
“Are you sure? Because the way you bolted out the door makes me think otherwise.”

Once again, Devney Perry makes me want to visit Montana with all its wild beauty! If you are looking for a fast-paced, engaging and sexy contemporary romance with a small-town feel, then you’ll love ‘Tragic’.

New Release + Excerpt: TATTERED (LARK COVE #1) by DEVNEY PERRY

June 18, 2018

 

 

Thea Landry has always known her place in modern-day society. It’s somewhere just above the trash can her mother dumped her in as a newborn but below the class where much comes easy. With her tattered shoes and bargain-bin clothes, her life has never been full of glamour.

So when a rich and charismatic man takes interest, she doesn’t fool herself into thinking their encounter is anything more than a one-night stand. Months later, she’s kicking herself for not getting his phone number. Or his last name. She’s given up hope of seeing him ever again.

Until one day, years later, Logan Kendrick waltzes into her life once more and turns everything she’s built upside down. This time around, she won’t make the same mistake. She’s going to fight to keep him in her life—not for herself.

But for their daughter.

Thea and I had agreed on just one night. One incredible night. The next morning, we’d walked away from each other with no strings attached. She’d gone back to her life. I’d gone back to my hectic work and social schedule, just glad that I’d had the chance to meet her.

What I hadn’t expected was for Thea to pop into my thoughts so often after that night. I’d think of her smile whenever I was at a hotel bar. I’d think of her laugh when I was at a boring fundraiser. I’d think of her whenever I saw a woman with long, sleek dark hair.

After months of her on my mind, I’d finally given in. I’d gone back to the bar to see her one more time.

Except she’d been gone.

With my child.

I’d waited too long.

The Outpost by Devney Perry is out now! Check out our blog tour post and be the first to read this sexy new romance from Devney—grab your copy today!

 

Title: The Outpost

Author: Devney Perry

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About The Outpost:

Trapped in his tiny mountain cabin, she didn’t expect to fall for his big heart.

Exposing a prominent criminal family with an investigative news report didn’t exactly work out the way Sabrina had hoped. Instead of basking in the glory of her article’s success, she’s on the run from a powerful man who wants her dead. To stay safe, she’s forced to trade one bad situation for another. Stuck in the Montana wilderness, she’s secluded from anything resembling civilization or the modern-day world. The only good thing about her situation is the gorgeous mountain man assigned to protect her. Too bad he isn’t the slightest bit interested in a city girl like her.

Beau likes his life quiet and simple. Give him a peaceful day hiking in the woods with his dog, and he’s a happy man. He has no use for large crowds, noisy cities or dramatic women. So when a hotshot reporter rolls into town, dragging her big-time problems with her, he should have run for the hills. Instead, he volunteered to keep her safe. Bringing her into his world won’t be easy, but if he can convince her that Montana isn’t as terrifying as she believes, they might just be the perfect match.

MY REVIEW:

Another wonderful installment in the Jamison Valley series! This story can totally be read as a standalone. Loved Beau!!

This is the fourth book I have read by Devney Perry and I love her writing style. All of her characters just feel very real. Sabrina has a tough battle to find herself and to find the strength she will need to get through a very difficult and scary time in her life. Add to this the spectacular Montana backdrop and you have the perfect combination for a winning romance novel.

And hello Beau!! Like all of the author’s heroes, Beau is sweet, HOT, loyal and did I mention hot? And he has a heart of gold. He takes care of Sabrina and offers her shelter and protection. What she initially thought would be an impossible situation turns into a safe and protective haven for her, all thanks to Beau. He’s honest, trustworthy and gorgeous.

“Beau was the type of man who needed someone with much less baggage than I was carting around. Nothing could happen between us. A fling would certainly lead to disaster.”

Like all of Ms. Pevney’s main characters, Sabrina and Beau have to fight for their chance at happiness. And when it comes, it is simply beautiful! The author writes some of the VERY best Epilogues around. And I am a total pushover for a great Epilogue.

I loved the mountain setting and the brave and selfless firefighters in this book. As always, this book seems very well-researched and it shows in the writing. Don’t be afraid to jump in at this point in the series and read ‘The Outpost.’ All of the books stand on their own but with that said, I can’t wait to read Maisey’s story in the upcoming ‘The Bitterroot Inn’!

“No man would ever hold me this well. I was made to be wrapped in these arms.”

Life on his ranch could be their future. If they can overcome their past.

My Review:

 

4 Sexy, Second-Chance Stars!!

SOOOO sweet and hot!!! I ADORE second-chance romances and ‘The Lucky Heart’ is a PERFECT example of this genre done right!! Devney Perry has become an auto-read author for me. I love her blend of sweet, sexy, Alphas and compulsively readable storylines with a bit of suspense thrown in.


“This time around, I didn’t want her running to me as an escape. This time around, I wanted her to finally choose me just because I made her happy.”

While the other characters from the earlier books make appearances here, this book can be read and enjoyed as a complete standalone. Felicity is back in her Montana hometown after many years away. She is a former “mean girl” who is trying her best to make amends with her family and friends. A terrible, life-altering tragedy occurred when she was a young woman and she is determined to seek forgiveness from all who were affected by her actions.

Silas has always loved Felicity, but she broke his heart when she left town suddenly. Can I just say: OMG SILAS!!!! Devney Perry creates THE sweetest, sexiest, HOTTEST Alpha heroes!! Silas is hard-working, loving, loyal and kind but tough when he needs to be. Felicity broke his heart once, but he is not going to let her go again. And he won’t let anyone disrespect her, either.

“Now that she was back in Montana, I wasn’t letting her go. I’d play it slow and steady. Put in the time. But one day she’d be mine.

Just like she was always meant to be.”

Silas and Felicity have a complex relationship. There are a lot of external forces working against them. I loved watching a trust and friendship develop between them. This is just a gorgeous story, filled with scenes from a working ranch, life in Montana and even the dangers of addiction. This is a big, beautiful story, much like how I imagine life in small-town Montana to be!

“I love that you get all shy when I give you a compliment,” he said into my hair. “But don’t hide that smile from me, Lis. I live for it.”

There’s plenty of action in this story and excellent character-building. I adore Devney Perry’s writing style and can’t wait for the next story in this series. Plus, I am a sucker for a good Epilogue and this one was PERFECT

Review + Giveaway: THE CLOVER CHAPEL (JAMISON VALLEY #2) by DEVNEY PERRY

May 31, 2017

Today we have the blog tour for The Clover Chapel by Devney Perry! Check it out and be sure to grab your copy today!!

 

 

Title: The Clover Chapel

Author: Devney Perry

Genre: Contemporary Romance

 

About The Clover Chapel:

She took a dare and fell in love. Truth would have been the smarter choice.

 

After years of living under her father’s thumb, Emmeline is ready to break free. She’s abandoned her life as a New York socialite to follow her dream of becoming a kindergarten teacher in a small, wholesome town. Seeing the man that nearly broke her was absolutely not what she had hoped to find in Prescott, Montana.

 

Nick hasn’t seen his Emmy in nine years, but that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten a thing about the woman he loves. After just one blissful night as man and wife, he gave her up, sacrificing his own happiness to keep her safe—far away from him. But the moment she walks back into his lonely life is the moment he decides never to let her go again. He won’t waste his second chance. All he has to do is win back Emmeline’s heart, keep her safe from the shadows in his past and prove to her that taking a wager on him is a sure bet.

My Review:

4 STARS!!

Such a sweet and sexy story! Highly recommend this one for fans of KA – this book is all about a strong heroine; a stand-up, Alpha hero; and some fast-moving danger. Loved the descriptions of the breathtaking Montana scenery.

I’m a HUGE fan of second-chance romance and this one fit the bill perfectly. This is the second book in the Jamison Valley series and centers around Nick, Jesse’s friend. (This book can be read as a standalone but I HIGHLY recommend the first book because it is fantastic!) It’s no spoiler that Nick and Emmeline (Emmy) were married in Las Vegas many years earlier and surprise! They meet up again very unexpectedly after many years apart, when she moves to his small town.

“Nick?” Gigi asked, but I didn’t speak or take my eyes off Emmy. She was frozen just like I was. Finally, Emmy broke away.

“Sorry. I have to go,” she mumbled before racing to the door.

“What was that? Do you know her?” Jess asked.

Yeah. I knew her. “She’s my wife.”

There is a delicious slow-burn aspect to this story even though Nick and Emmy are still legally married. Emmy now has a boyfriend, and had given up ever finding Nick after years of searching turned up nothing (there’s a good reason for that which is revealed later in the book!). Nick broke her heart when he left her after their impulsive wedding in Vegas. Emmy and Nick were from two very different worlds, but now their paths have crossed again when she takes a teaching job in Prescott, Montana.

Nick is a sexy and sweet Alpha but Emmy resists him despite his incredibly tender and romantic gestures. Even though they are husband and wife, they really didn’t know each other at all. If you are a fan of small-town romance, you will love this book. There is plenty of action and just the right amount of heat. Although story did not have the “wow” factor that ‘The Coppersmith Farmhouse’ had, I still raced through this book and absolutely fell in love with the characters.

I am obsessed with this series and cannot wait for more stories about the other characters. Ms. Perry obviously has a great deal of love for her setting and it shows in her writing. ‘The Clover Chapel’ is a heart-warming, funny, sexy and very adult romance that enthralled me and entertained me to the very last word. I am thrilled that the third book in the series, ‘The Lucky Heart’ is coming in August! I can’t wait to return to Jamison Valley.
