The Secret Father - Anna Adams

Just finished reading book #6 The Secret Father by Anna Adams.

How is it possible to forget the love of your life?

Zach Calvert has no memory of his last three years as a Navy pilot. And for the most part, he's resigned himself to that. He's content with his new life as the sheriff of his hometown, happy that his small daughter lives close by.

But everything changes when he discovers he has a five-year-old son and a lover he can't remember.

THE CALVERT COUSINS: Come on down to the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. You’ll meet the Calverts, a family that’s been living and loving here for over a hundred years. A few Calverts have left, but somehow, they always seem to come home….

More Books Read.....

This morning I finished reading book # 4 The Wyoming Kid by Debbie Macomber.



A Cowboy's Joy

Rancher Lonny Ellison has never known a woman like Joy Fuller. For one thing, she doesn't seem very interested in him, and as an ex-rodeo cowboy, Lonny's not used to that. Women mobbed the Wyoming Kid during his rodeo days! And another thing, he and Joy -- who's a schoolteacher and his sister Letty's best friend -- seem to argue constantly.

But it doesn't matter, does it? Because he's not interested in Joy, either.

Wait a minute. Maybe he is. At least that's what Letty seems to think their arguments are all about. Yup, she might have a point there.

Now he has to convince Joy that marriage to the Wyoming Kid will be as exciting as an eight-second bull ride and as sweet as the cookies she loves to bake.

I always enjoy reading books by Debbie Macomber and this book was no exception. Debbie has a great way of drawing you in the story and turning the pages to find the outcome. A great read.

I then went on to read book #5 Sarah by Mary Christner Borntrager.

Sarah Troyer faces changes in her Amish family because of her mother's illness and death. She is sure that Sadie Zook, the hired girl, mistreats her and scolds her unfairly. At school, Sarah finds Regina Byler to be an understanding friend. Then a near-tragic house fire helps bring healing. Former hurts and forgotten, and Sarah learns to accept a new mother and work as a hired girl herself. At the house raising for Sarah's family, the head carpenter's son notices Sarah, and gives her rides home after group singings. Later, Sarah keeps company with Mahlon Mast. Eventually they are baptized and then married in the Amish church.

I always enjoy reading books about the Amish and the lifestyle they lead. This books was a great read and gives you an insight into the life of an Amish family.

Starting Over With A New Booklist For 2009

Time to start from #1 again and see how many books I can read in 2009. I aim to read 100 books each year and anything over that is a bonus.

Have just finsihed reading book #1 BelowTheBelt by Sarah Mayberry.



He's not going down without a fight.....

To outfit his new gym, trainer Cooper Fitzgerald is looking for fresh boxing talent. Male boxing talent, that is. So what on earth is he thinking by taking on Jamie Sawyer? She's stubborn, difficult, aggressive - and far too hot for the kind of close contact training requires. But her skill in the ring is turning his professional head.

Too bad his isn't the only head that's turning. Jamie and her skimpy little shorts have all the guys forgetting the power she packs in a punch. And when Jamie offers Cooper her irresistible body - no strings attached - he's down for the count. But can Cooper keep the line between trainer and sex buddy.or is he setting himself up for another knockout?
