Craving You by Samantha Chase

 πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–/5



Craving You by Samantha Chase, book five in The Donovans: Sweetbriar Ridge series, is an emotional roller coaster of instant attraction, unexpected consequences, and a love story that grabbed me from page one not letting go until I read the last one. Attending her cousin’s wedding Hailey Donovan meets the groom’s brother, Max Calloway, and sparks fly as they fall into attraction and a short fling. It was supposed to be one night of passion but for Max and Hailey it quickly became complicated.After returning to Florida, Hailey discovers she’s pregnant. Strongly believing she needed to let Max know of the situation, she returns to Sweetbriar Ridge. From the moment Max learned about the baby, his commitment and determination to win Hailey was amazing and so different from many men. He was sweet, caring, and unwaveringly supportive of Hailey. Hailey’s reaction was quite different and a bit more unsettling and chaotic. Max was so respectful, patience, and understanding of Hailey’s emotional process. Her indecisiveness and insecurities tested my patience at times, but witnessing her growth and self-discovery by the end made it all worthwhile.

 

There were a few humorous scenes throughout this wonderful story: but my favorite is when Hailey and her sister, Sloan, unexpectedly tell their mother about the pregnancy. I enjoyed catching up with the Donovan siblings and their spouses and love the hints as to who will be next to fall in love.

 πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–/5 Chase Lovett Wants Me by Helena Hunting is a college hockey romance between a super outgoing hockey star and an introverted girl who writes sizzling hot LoTR fanfic in her spare time.   Cammie Lovelock has a crush on Chase Lovett but has always felt invisible to the popular crowd. A fire in their dorm sends all the students to a nearby hotel until damages are repaired and she ends up rooming with her hockey crush Chase; thanks to having the gender neutral first name of Cameron. To make matters worse, there is only one bed. It might have accidently started with these two opposites rooming together, but it led to a wonderful, sizzling hot relationship; one where they are there for each other.   I loved the sibling and friend connections this book had to the Toronto Terror series. Getting glimpses of some of our favorite Terror characters was perfect. I can’t wait to see where this series goes ; especially to read Tally and Brody’s stories.   REA...
