Top Ten Tuesday Books Thru The Decade







Happy Tuesday, and welcome to another edition of Top Ten Tuesday blog link-up sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today's theme is books I was reading on August 11th from 2016-2026. I went through my Goodreads and found books that were closest to that date. The last one Horseshoes & Honeymoons by Jody Hedlund I finished yesterday.

I hope you're not living in a smoke filled area like we are. I'd love to be outside, but asthma doesn't agree with it.

Horseshoes and Honeymoons by Jody Hedlund Reviewed


 



Title: Horseshoes and Honeymoons
Author: Jody Hedlund
Series: Healing Springs Ranch #4
Source: Publisher
Format: E-Book
Pages: 238

He thought he’d experienced the McQuaid legacy of love with his childhood sweetheart. But he’d been wrong. Or had he?

Executive protection agent Dustin McQuaid is always in control of himself and is considered the best bodyguard in his agency. But he has one Assignments to guard women are off-limits. When he’s asked to protect the woman he once loved and hoped to marry, he refuses at first, but the large bonus might be just what he needs to launch the app he’s been developing.

When a stalker begins to haunt billionaire heiress Silver St. James, she agrees to have Dustin as her bodyguard, telling herself that she won’t fall for him again—not after he rejected her back in high school. She’s happy running her equestrian therapy ranch, and she has no desire to renew a relationship with the man who broke her heart.

As the stalker closes in, Dustin concocts a plan to keep Silver safe by pretending that they’re honeymooners. But the more time he spends with her, the more out of control he feels as he falls fast and furiously for her again. Can they both let go of the insecurities of the past to embrace a new future together? Or will they push one another away once again?
 Amazon|| B&N || Audible 





My Thoughts:

Second Chance romances is one of my favorite tropes, and toss in a sexy cowboy trying not to get all tangled up in romance again and I'm in.
The last thing Dustin wants is to get tangled up with Silver again. He was fine being her body-guard, sort of, he'd much rather have his partner Isaac do it, but he knew her which would make him the better choice. 
This was a fun book with both laughable and gritting your teeth moments.
I haven't read the previous books in the series so it can definitely stand alone.

My Bottom Line:
This was a fun, and enjoyable read. I loved the title as well as Silver's name. The push and pull of the romance was perfect. A fantastic end of Summer read.

Top Ten Tuesday Books Renting Space

 

Happy Tuesday, and welcome to another edition of Top Ten Tuesday link-up sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today's theme is Books That Live in My Head Rent Free. I'm not sure all of these rent space. I think about reading the fiction novels. The Inductive Study Bible taught me how to study God's Word. Horseshoes and Honeymoons is my current read. The others just
 bring back great memories from reading them.
My 3-year-old granddaughter asked me to come over and color with her
tomorrow. She even wanted me to put her to bed, so I may not be around a lot to respond to your comments, but I'm going to do my best to do both.             
















What about you? What books occupy your mind? Let me know in the comments, and I will remember to comment.

Books I Can't Wait to Release


       I don't know what's wrong with GOOGLE, but I nearly lost my Jesus trying to get the picture's uploaded, I was able to get the book covers, and it took me hours to get the main photo uploaded. There are times that I hate the internet, and this is one of them! 

I don't want to lose my following, but I'm seriously thinking about closing this one down and going to WordPress. 


Besides my blog woe's Welcome to the weekly  Top Ten Tuesday link-up sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl. How's the weather in your neck of the woods? I think Idaho forgot that it's summer, the weather has been more like spring.












Are any of these on your lists? Don't Cross the Blue Line releases today and I'm anxious to read it.

Let me hear what you're looking forward to reading.

The C's Have It: Ten Titles Starting With the Letter C

 


Happy Tuesday, and welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday blog link-up sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today's theme is a freebie, bookish or non-bookish, so I decided to continue with the alphabet challenge. 

If the title starts with The or an A, I will use the second letter. I'll post them in alphabetical order. This is perfect for those alphabetical reading challenges.




















































































































I am having a ball of a time looking for books to fit each letter of the alphabet, and I hope you have found something new to read.
Happy Tuesday, and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Top Ten Tuesday --- Books I Hope To Find Under My Tree


Happy Tuesday! Just six more days until Christmas, are you ready? Gifts are purchased, I just need to wrap gifts. One of my least favorite job, because I am so bad at it!

Today's topic is books I hope to find under my Christmas tree. I for some crazy reason couldn't come up with ten. 















 
I love coloring just about as much as I love reading. So, I thought I'd add a coloring book.










What do you hope to find under your Christmas tree???
