Series: Kowalski Family

Review: What it Takes – Shannon Stacey

Review: What it Takes – Shannon Stacey

What it Takes is a very back throw-back to the whole Kowalski series, and it was nice to see how all the cousins are holding up after all this time, while also meeting a brand-new couple on the camping ground. Laney really needed a change after living in a love-less marriage for ten years during which she had lost herself. What it Takes was mostly about her finding herself again, understanding her own wants and needs. Laney thought she needed to be on her own to figure out what to do with the rest of her life, and when she first met Ben, she was doing her very best to ignore the strong chemistry between them. As always, Stacey brings people […]

Review: Falling for Max – Shannon Stacey

Review: Falling for Max – Shannon Stacey

*I received a free ARC of Falling for Max from Carina Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The romance in Falling for Max is building so slowly, and it is truly adorable. I feel so good right now after finishing reading this story, it’s amazing! My Falling for Max review: Max has always been in the background in the other Kowalski Family stories, and he let the good people of Whitford come up with the reasons why – him being a serial killer was high up on the list. He wanted more in life in this story, though, and when he went to the diner to be more social, the first person he met was Tori who […]

Taken with You (The Kowalskis #8) – Shannon Stacey

Taken with You (The Kowalskis #8) – Shannon Stacey

*I received a free ARC of Taken with You from Carina Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Taken with You is set in Whitford, like other Kowalski books, but this time, those hunky and hard-bodied Kowalski boys aren’t among the main characters. Matt is an awesome male lead, though, even if he does jump to conclusions a little quickly sometimes, and Hailey really needed some hot romance in her life. She’s lived in Whitfield for most of her life, and she would love to stay, but there are no interesting men there. Also, she really wants to have a family, and she can practically hear her own biological clock ticking away. There is a lot of humor […]

Review: All He Ever Dreamed (The Kowalskis #6) – Shannon Stacey

*I received a free ARC of All He Ever Dreamed from Carina Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* All He Ever Dreamed is the story about Josh, the youngest Kowalski brother, and Katie who grew up with them – and who is practically one of the guys. She hangs out with the guys during ball games, and is just as good at shouting at the TV as they are. She is the town’s barber, and the one who usually cuts Josh’s hair. When Katie’s mom is sick, and conspiring to get Josh and Katie together, it is decided that Katie should stay a while at the lodge – and that’s when the sparks start flying – even […]

Review: All He Ever Desired (The Kowalskis #5) – Shannon Stacey

All He Ever Desired is about a second chance in love. Is it even possible? Ryan Kowalski sure doesn’t think so, and when he comes back to Withford after a long absence, he does the best he can to avoid Lauren, the woman he has loved since high-school. They meet on his first day back, however, as their paths cross in his soon-to-be sister-in-law’s diner. Ryan has no idea what to say to her, and ends up feeling like a dork, so much so that he doesn’t even notice how flushed their encounter leaves Lauren. The big conflict in this installment of the Kowalski family saga is that Lauren’s son is the vandal who has been wreaking havoc around the […]

Review: All He Ever Needed (The Kowalskis #4) – Shannon Stacey

All He Ever Needed is book four in the Kowalski Family series, but we’re with the cousins of the characters from the first three books. Mitch is the town’s golden boy, and boy, do I understand why! Mitch is back in town to help out at the lodge while his younger brother, Josh, heals his broken leg. On his way to the lodge, Mitch stops at the diner, surprised to see it up and running – with a new name to boot. When he lays his eyes on Paige, he appreciates the sight of a beautiful woman, and he quickly decides that she will be his next fling – six weeks is more than enough for him to work with […]
