Curtis (Coyote Ridge, #1)Curtis by Nicole Edwards
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you have read the authors Alluring Indulgence series, then you were already familiar with the names Curtis and Lorrie. They are the parents of the men in the series. The Walker family is tight and loving.

Curits and Lorrie's story starts out when they are young. They talk and learn about one another. It all starts out very innocent, but sincere. Lorrie cannot stop thinking about him. Curtis thinks he sees his future in her eyes.

This is an epic love story for the ages. It takes us back in time to understand a love that is fierce as it is gentle. I found it to be a great read in a book that I cannot put down. This one is a keeper for my shelf.

1. What type of play list did you have for this book?

The playlist for Curtis contained 71 songs in total. Everyone from Patsy Cline to Nathaniel Rateliff. It consisted of all country music because that was what the book warranted.

2. Were there certain songs that moved you more than others during this book?
I think I was drawn to S.O.B. by Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and Riot by Rascal Flatts the most. The book was very emotional in every sense, so a lot of the songs were emotional. As for S.O.B. – that song makes me think of Curtis.

3. Did any song help inspire any part of the book or a scene?
Withdrawals by Tyler Farr – this song inspired an entire section of the book.  If you read it, I get the feeling you’ll know which one.

4. How does music in general play into your book writing?
The music is always in the background. Before I start writing a book, I find songs that remind me of the characters. Sometimes I’ll nix a song and find something else if the book warrants it. A few times, I’ve put a song on repeat when I’m writing a specific scene. Music is about feeling, it inspires emotion and being able to channel that when I write is helpful in so many ways.

5. Have you ever had a story or a character come to you from a song?

Yes, actually. It’s happened to me twice. Oddly enough, I can’t think which songs they were though, but I remember the moment when it hit me. Once I was in Target, the other time we were driving in the car. I have Shazam on my phone and anytime I hear a song that I love, I get the details – it’s a fabulous app for music lovers.

Cherry Pie (Mercury Rising Book 1) by Samantha Kane     Date of Publication: September 16, 2014   Blurb:   You can go home again if you can get a foot in the door.   Mercury Rising, Book 1   A year after packing and moving from L.A. to Mercury, North Carolina, John Ford still hasn't adjusted to the heat. Or to life without his long-time partner. As he fixes up the old house he bought, the quiet becomes his only companion, and he's content with that—until a deep-voiced stranger plants himself under a tree across the street.   Eight years ago, Connor Meecham left someone behind in that house—himself. Now he's back to find the man he used to be, before drugs and prison sent his life careening off the tracks. But it's not his mother's face peering through the window any more. It's a man who seems as lost as Conn himself.   When John learns what the house—and the dying town—mean to Conn, he finds himself opening the door to his heart. Just

This is book #6, in the True North series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding of the series, and too avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this compelling series in order. Skye returns to the place she hates the most to help out the sister she always wanted.  When she gets there, tables have turned.  There is now danger if she pushes too far in finding her sister.  Who can she turn to? Benito AKA "Ben" is a blast from the past, who has always had a thing for Skye.  She was the one that got away, and he has no intentions of letting that happen again.  He also has to find her sister and solve his case. While this author is a definite auto purchase, she always brings the goods to the table.  In this story, we get a second chance romance with such heart and heat that every page is a sizzling delight!  I loved the banter, and was eagerly turning each page to get to the next.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***Th
