Rum Romance: A MacAllen Boys Novel by Ali Parker and Jessica Mills

The Headliner & The Cheerleader. ENJOY!!

This is the seventh book in the MacAllen Clan by the fabulous best selling authors Ali Parker and Jessica Mills and, having read the rest of the series, was excited to read the latest book. Mark is the youngest of the Clan and is in college doing business and accounting whilst playing football. He is very skilled and his family is almost always there to cheer him and his team to victory. Now everyone seems to think that he will be going to be a professional sportsman but he has other ideas! Meanwhile, one of the cheerleaders, Piper, is studying to become a tax lawyer and ends up being partner with Mark on a project for their degrees. They are both quite shy and reserved with secret crushes on each other! As they get to know one another better it is very obvious that they are very well suited and the passion between them is palpable. But the head cheerleader, Amber, is determined to bag Mark for herself, no matter what anyone else thinks. Turmoil abounds with will they or won’t they get together? Mark wants to stay on the ranch but everyone expects him to be a pro Dallas for the football team? Piper thinks that she wants to go to work in Dallas as a tax lawyer but her father wants her to work at the law firm where he is partner in Lubbeck. Also, what is happening to the land that Jameson wants to purchase for the expansion of the MacAllen ranch? This was a really fun book to read and I loved the two main characters and keeping ‘up to date’ with the rest of the Clan. Is the next book going to be the last in the series or will Gavin get his HEA also? Looking forward to finding out. I received a reader’s copy of the book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. Most definitely recommended!!!!

Vodka Virgin: A MacAllen Boys Novel by Ali Parker & Jessica Mills

Where There is Hope! ENJOY!!!!

This book continues the fabulous MacAllen Family series written by the best selling authors, Ali Parker & Jessica Mills. Now, if you haven’t read the rest of the series [where on earth have you been??]do not worry as they can be read as standalones but they are so much better when you’ve read them as the series. Jack gave up on his dreams of being a professional artist when their father was ill and the ‘kids’ took over the running of the ranch. Jack, in particular, basically concentrated on helping his Dad recuperate till he’s got to the stage where he’s almost back to normal. Now he seems a little lost as to what his role is now. His dreams of being an artist seem to have stagnated and no where to go. Meanwhile, in New York, Nica works in an art gallery and is looking for new artists to regenerate enthusiasm for her boss. When she is taken by her BFF to a party at a billionaire’s apartment, Gavin a friend of the MacAllen Family, she spies a painting that stuns her with it’s beauty. Gavin talks to her about the artist and she realises that she knows that she’s found what the gallery needs. Gavin invites Nica to meet Jack and she agrees readily. There is a snake in the grass called Selena. This is a page turning fun read that will make you smile, a lot, and laugh and won’t want to put the book down as it’s so addictive! The attraction between Jack and Nica is vibrant and buzzing and cannot be ignored which makes this book so entertaining. A terrific storyline that makes me want more!

Wine Wanderer by Ali Parker and Jessica Mills

The ‘Bad’ Boy & The Preacher’s Daughter – Wow Steam HEAT!!!! Enjoy!

I really enjoyed reading about the people living in the Whiskey River Series by bestselling authors Ali Parker and Jessica Mills, Now if you haven’t read any of these yet it doesn’t matter as it can be read as a standalone but it’s much better as part of the series. Johnnie left the family ranch and bought the local saloon which he enjoyed and was doing well. The preacher found out that his daughter, Louisa, was going to leave him for the ‘big’ city so he ‘asked’ Johnnie to hire her as a waitress to teach her a lesson about ‘city’ folk! Johnnie is bewitched by her and she is crushing on him BIG time. The problem is he thinks that he isn’t good enough for her and she thinks that he is out of her league – especially when the sultry Kristy appears. But Mama May is rooting for Louisa as she thinks she is perfect for Johnnie and hatches a plan to keep them together and giving Louisa the opportunity to get rid of the dreadful Kristy asap! A really fun read that I couldn’t put down. It also made me laugh and want to wring Kristy’s neck as well as worry about who burned down Johnnie’s saloon! Red hot passion as well as tenderness and determination to save his woman. I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. Most definitely recommended!!!

Gin Jealousy by Ali Parker and Jessica Mills

An Unexpected Second Chance At Love. Enjoy!!

Here we have the latest book from the best selling authors, Jessica Mills and Ali Parker, which is part of The MacAllen Boys series. This book centres around Jim who left home to make a name for himself as an architect in California. There he was taken under the wing of the boss, Richard Archer, and into the arms of his daughter Peyton Archer with whom he fell in love. Life was perfect except he was away from his family and ranch. But when he caught wind of Richard’s deceitful practices, he had a major argument with Peyton who defended her father and he went back home to Texas. He’s been known as The Hermit, thanks to a brother, and has continued with his work but also being close to his family. But love has alluded him. Then news comes that Richard Archer is coming to their area and is going to build his shoddy houses. The whole area is up in arms but Jim is stunned when he sees Peyton who is as gorgeous and tempting as ever! How is Jim going to focus with her around. Peyton has never got over Jim and when she strikes a deal with her dad he forces her to use Jim as ‘help’ to set up her goat farm [little does she know that her dad is doing this as bribery to get her to fail – what a father!!!!!]. I don’t like Richard at all he is despicable. Jim and Peyton are like two magnets that can’t keep away from one another as the pull is too great. Jim is torn as he wants Richard out of the valley but by doing so he is betraying Peyton whom he loves. The book can be read as a standalone but it is so much more fun if you’ve read the previous books so you can ‘meet’ characters from the others books. Jim’s sister, Brenne, thoroughly enjoys herself in this book! This is a family that loves one and all and it’s fun keeping up with them. As for Jim and Peyton it took a while for me to see whether Jim and Peyton were just in lust with each other but I’m happy to report that there is so much more. I’m also looking forward to the next book…maybe Jameson and his ‘arch enemy’ may start? I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. Most definitely recommended.
