Review: Last Chance Proposal

Last Chance Proposal

by Barbara DeLeo

A wife he needs. The woman he desires.
Cy Hathaway needs a wife, fast, to win custody of his son, Jonty. He returns home to discover the childhood sweetheart he once left behind has become a vibrant, beautiful woman. Even though wanting to sweep her off her feet wasn’t part of the plan…
For Ellie, Cy’s sudden reappearance awakens a flood of memories—and resentments for the way he’d abandoned her all those years ago. But she has a life now, a career.  She can’t simply drop everything and get hitched, even if the sight of him still makes her heart race.
But after Ellie meets his little boy, she can’t refuse. Certain she has a grip on her old feelings for Cy, she agrees to marry her first love until he gains custody. But when did helping out a friend become something with the capacity to hijack her heart?

My Thoughts:
Unexpected, emotional, sweet and fun.  I wasn't sure what to expect when I read then opening scene, but I was definitely intrigued.  Cy's proposal was unconventional even though he had a serious past with Ellie.  Once you are introduced to his son, Jonty, it's understandable why he is so desperate to do everything he can to keep his son.  Seeing how Ellie & Cy's relationship plays out with it's backwards start is fun; yet seeing how they grow closer through challenges with his son is at times heartbreaking.  I enjoyed the different setting of Last Change Proposal and learning about different local traditions.  Last Chance Proposal is an charming romantic read that will keep you entertained, great for a little weekend read.

Review: Tangling with the CEO

Mixing business with pleasure never felt so right.
Blake Buchanan and Anastasia Delaney were roommates in college and could never see eye to eye about anything. The only time their walls came down was during one night of passion before Ana left without a word, never expecting to cross paths with Blake again.
Years later, Blake has made his millions. He comes back to Ana’s small California town to manage a corporate takeover that will close down the home restoration business she’s poured her heart and soul into. The fiery Ana is determined to convince money-minded Blake of her business’s worth, but when a family emergency throws them together, their walls come tumbling down once again…
Problem is, Blake’s business-first position hasn’t changed. And Ana can’t fall for the man who could become her boss—it’s not only her job at stake, but her heart.

My thoughts:
   A sweet, charming, funny and romantic story that will tug at your heart!  Having lost my mom, I can understand why Ana would have just up and left the way she did back in college.  I was a little disappointed in Blake when he didn't catch on to what Ana was saying at first, but he slowly redeemed himself by not only winning over Ana, but those closest to her.  Not only is Tangling with the CEO a romantic story, its also about making tough decisions and following your heart.  Sometimes it's the unexpected path that leads to true happiness.  If you're looking for a heart-warming read to curl up with for the weekend, the I recommend you pick up Tangling with the CEO.
