Lots of Wonderful Books to Tell You About From Tule Publishing.. Take a stroll thru a few of my favorites

If you have not heard of Tule Publishing you are missing out. If you read romance or like cowboy books I bet you have read a novel published by Tule Publishing Group. I personally found them by way of Montana... Marietta, Montana to be exact. But fear not they do have many other books based in many other states and even countries. I wanted wanted to share a few with you today as we are into the Holiday season. Many of us might need a little break from wrapping gifts or shopping and let me tell you I can point you in the right direction.... Just type in Tule Publication Group and you will find all sorts of wonderful books for all sorts if you celebrate or not.
I just had to share Halloween with ya (With COCO out and all LOL)

Little Halloween Magic at the Graff

Halloween at the Graff (Holiday at the Graff #1)Halloween at the Graff by Sinclair Jayne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Halloween in Marietta, Montana what could be better? Oh I know Halloween time at the Graff Hotel which is in Marietta. Oh now that would be complete!!
Oh yes this town is in my blood and part of my spirit too. Guess that is a good thing as we are going ghost hunting in this book. Oh yes we are.

Attendance at the hotel is down so they hired a new gal to help bring in folks to the hotel and she happens to be new blood to the town. Well Walker Wilder errrr Kent as she is now known by is the brand spanking new PR person for the hotel. As she is cleaning up and looking for Halloween decorations in one of the upper rooms,, she notices a few ODD occurrences which gives her the idea to call in a ghost hunter. Does she believe the hotel is haunted? You have to read and decide for yourself but let me tell you a little about Calum Quest.

Calum Quest is one fine ghost hunter himself. Not just that he has has high rated show about...what else ghosts but this man is so good looking and from reading this book he knows how to treat a lady right. OH yes... He belongs in Marietta for sure as he has the true Montana heart and sense of community that only a person from Marietta can display...which is odd as he is not from there...yet.

This book is well written and has fun twists and ghostly turns. We get to reconnect with some of our Wilder families in Marietta and meet new ones. I am looking forward to more fun events and celebrations at the Graff and can't wait to see where Rafe ends up...Marietta or back down under.

 Let's  go to Christmas at the Graff in my favorite town of Marietta ...of course 

Christmas at the GraffChristmas at the Graff by Kaylie Newell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What could be better?? Marietta (my favorite fictional town), Christmas and oh yes snow!! I have been waiting it seemed like forever for the Holiday season to hit the newly remodeled Graff hotel. After reading Halloween at the Graff it seemed like Christmas would never arrive... Just like when I was a kid. If you are a Marietta reader than you might know the Joe from some of the previous books. I love that we get to meet characters in books before we get to really KNOW them later in life in their own stories. If not don't worry our author fills in all the holes and gaps right nicely for us.

We have Joe a twice divorced man who has a bit of a medical problem. He can't go home from the hospital unless he has someone to check in on him. His daughters have not seen him since they left with their mom in the divorce when they were younger. Angry words and even nastier things said over the years by a mom after a divorce never leads to good will later ya know. One daughter says no, one has a softer heart.
EJ and Joe have a different kind of relationship. EJ himself has a story that reads like a Charles Dickens novel. Put these two together and they are a matched set...well maybe. There are some very good parts and a few if I were the author I might have changed. BUT that is the joy of reading a book. Being able to imagine it and thinking how would I change this story in my dreams. All in all this book met my expectations and more. Now I wonder if there is New Years and Valentines at the Graff?

 If you are looking for a nice Bedtime read take a look at one of Eve Gandy's book like maybe this Second Chance read that I loved...





Sing Me Back Home (Montana Born Homecoming #1)Sing Me Back Home by Eve Gaddy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wonderful second chance romance based in my favorite town...Marietta.

Jack and Maya's Second Chance love story is one I have been waiting for. Not only did I get to explore new parts of Marietta countryside that I have not visited before, but I also felt the heartwarming friendships and small town kind of community bought by these not just 2 but so many in this as small Montana town. Great reading and the perfect length for my bedtime read.


If you want cowboys in Montana, Texas or even across the pond in England come find all the romance in this century and also in years past thanks to Jane Porter and her amazing group of writers from Tule Publishing Group.

Her Baby, His Love Charity Montana

Her Baby, His Love (Charity, Montana Book 1)Her Baby, His Love by Lynne Marshall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I picked up this book because I loved the cover. Lots of us have done that right? While I enjoyed the book for the most part, there were times in the book if I could have gone into the book and shaken the main character Taylor, I would have.
Let me tell you a tad bit about it what I Taylor moves away to a new town to start fresh after yet another bad relationship breakup. AND I do mean a BAD relationship breakup. The little town she decides to move to is called Charity, Montana. One of the reason is decided to read this book is it is based in Montana and I love Montana based books. One of the first guys she sees is this hunk of a guy at the nursery and she found out his name is Joe. She later discovers that many of the men the town have been in prison ... see where I am going with this.

This book is definitely a book well worth reading as it was good. It was just one of those books that could have been very interactive had it been a real life situation LOL. Taylor was a bit whiney but hey real life can be that way right and Joe, I will say I have met men who have converted who are exactly like this man. So I believe ever word written can be true. It was just a bit long for me and i was ready to strangle Taylor after a while. BUT in the long run well read the book and see if it was worth it.

Two of the Hottest Reads EVER...Nicole Edward's Duet Office Intrigue & Intrigue Out of the Office

Office Intrigue (Office Intrigue Duet Book 1)Office Intrigue by Nicole Edwards
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is by far the hottest book from this Author.... until I finish with book 2 that is.

Can I rate this book higher? Please tell me I can. HAWT Men 4 of them in one business and all dominant at that. That alone stirs the fire. Then we have Luci sweet submissive Luci who hasn't a clue in the world about domination and submission.

Nicole Edwards has clearly been setting us up with her previous books (no not related at all to this book) to accept sexy men and women as well as hot, sexy times. But if you've read her Club Destiny series you know she know heat and she knows how to write BDSM. This book makes all the other books look like school books. Holy batmen (notice men not man...intended. ) This author knows her way with words and clearly the lifestyle.
Don't be to worried about the kink aspect it fits in perfectly well as you know there are many levels and kinds of kinks. I can't wait to see what she explores in the second book in this series. Both books were released on the same day so no waiting around for the second book.... just click and read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hottest and Best Book to date by Nicole Edwards

This is the second part of this book series and while I thought the first book was intense and so sexy, the second book in the Office Intrigue series , doubles the heat. You have to read book 1 before this book... it's like one big ole kinky fairytale.
Four Doms and one submissive make for some of the best reading and definitely the hottest books of 2017.

This book had me glued from page one til the very end. I can not really say much about it without giving the storyline away and that is simply something I do not do ...ever. I will say I am begging the author to continue on with more books in this series... Please pretty please. If you like to read books that have intense heat in and outside the bedroom with kink... you must pick up both of these books in this series.

My Review of Inked Memories by Carrie Ann Ryan

Inked Memories (Montgomery Ink, #8)Inked Memories by Carrie Ann Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ink Inspired is easily the sexiest, steamiest book that I have read by author Carrie Ann Ryan. I waited on this book to POP into my kindle with baited breath on Halloween morning very, very early.... in Fact the Montgomery family is one of those families that I always plan my reading schedule around the "opening day" or in this case the closing day. This is the last book in the branch of the Montgomery Ink or INC family but of course this is not the last we'll hear of them. This crazy and loving bunch of folks always ends up in other series of books along the way.

So let me share a little 'bout Wes and Jillian's story In case you have been living in a cave and have not read any of the other Montgomery Ink books Wes (Wesley)is a twin to Storm. Storm and Jillian used to be "bed buddies" but nothing more. When Storm found his happy ending in book 7 to Everly, Jillian became Storm's best friend. Wes on the other hand well... Hang on let me back up here. I left out on very important thing to those who might not follow the books. Jillian is a plumber and a good one at that. She works for Montgomery Inc (the building side of the family business). Wes and Storm also work for this side of the family business. So, they all work for and in the same business. Yep, close together side by side...well not always side by side as they do remodels and rebuilds all over the place. But you get my drift.

So, there seems to be this tension below the surface with Wes and Jillian whenever they are together. What exactly is it? The tension that is there is not just them though and that is what makes this book so good for me. This book doesn't just focus on romance is a sexy sense but it also gives us a mystery and one that is hidden and written into the storyline in a really good way. It would sneak in and strike out in at times and make me JUMP.

I would be remiss if I did not tell you to be sure to have your tissues on hand when reading this book. There are times I cried myself silly. Especially knowing history that went on behind the scenes. This book will always have an extra special place in my heart. It is a book that is well written and so worth the read as a romance, mystery even and yes of course within the place of the Montgomery Ink legacy.

Great start to a New Series! Kiss Me In the Rain By Lindzee Armstrong

Kiss Me in the Rain (Destined for Love: Mansions)Kiss Me in the Rain by Lindzee Armstrong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kiss Me in the Rain is the first book in the Destined for Romance: Mansions series by Lindzee Armstrong. This continues with some of the characters that were in Kiss Me In the Moonlight (which was a 5 star read itself).
This is a true love story and mystery of sorts built around the old south.Layla's parents own a large property a plantation of sorts that they use for weddings and events. She has always helped out and lent a hand. But in the summer she went off and chaperoned a group of teens in Europe. While there it appears life back home moved on rather sideways.
Tyler oh Tyler. He is like a dog with a bone. He has been circling around pretty Layla all summer long but never got the nerve up to ask her out to tell her he liked her. Closest she came to letting him know was telling him he could always find a job with her parents company as a bartender should he decided to 'come by for a visit'. So should she be surprised that she sees him at the first big event she attends once she is back home? BUT wait there is so much more ...That big event is not just an event but she get hoodwinked into dating one of her dad's friend's just divorced son's. And that son's father does something BIG BOLD and UnForgivable that Night that Almost just almost sends Tyler back overseas.

Grab this book and check it out. It is really well worth the time!!

The Great Wedding Giveaway ... My Review by ShweetSandi See Why My Heart is in Marietta

The Great Wedding Giveaway: Montana Born Brides (The Great Wedding Giveaway #1-9)The Great Wedding Giveaway: Montana Born Brides by Sarah Mayberry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love Marietta, Montana. I am one of those readers who will grab a book if it is based in this amazing town and throw myself into the book the moment it reaches my kindle. I read each of these books with baited breath and loved then separate and even more so together as a boxed set.

Grab a cup of coffee or bottle of wine...sit back a while and take a wonderful trip to this amazing and fun town in Montana. I have no idea how these authors managed to write these books like they were sitting together in one long family table, sharing a meal and writing while they visited. The stories went together so seamlessly like they were told from one person.

This is one set I can assure you I will be reading time and time again. I am super happy it is in a set...so easy to find all my favorite books from some of my favorite authors from one of my very favorite towns.... I invite you to come see why my heart is in Marietta, Montana even through my body is in Grapevine, Texas.

Let me Introduce You to a New Town I have Fallen In Love with...Sweetheart, Montana

I have fallen in love with a new town in Montana...Sweetheart. I invite you to come by for a visit and stay a while. It is not to far from Marietta and Bozeman so you will recognize these two authors I am sure. I am looking forward to more love and romance from this town and how could there not be with the name Sweetheart right........ Tule Publishing is really on a roll!


Forever Yours, SweetheartForever Yours, Sweetheart by Roxanne Snopek
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Let me tell you about this Forever Yours, Sweetheart and why I loved this book. This book shows all the good and bad about small town living. You know small towns seem to always have that "special cyber link" where they know everything and your feel like they have every right to judge you about what you do and used to do. Then you have the other side of the street...the wonderful folks who really do no give a flying fig what you do with life or camera in Carrie Logan's case.

Carrie Logan is a photographer who gets hacked. OH MY she learns her lesson well about keeping things on her computer that she did not want to get out. Nathan Jackson, is a recluse who has his own issues himself..be he IS an internet security consultant. Hopefully he can help her find out who hacked her and contain the leak. BUT WILL HE? OH BUT You know there is so much more to this story than that. I invite you to read this book...I really liked it.

Thanks to Tule Publishing I have a new town in Montana to visit... Sweetheart! Even if it is only in my books, you can bet I will be visiting it often. Sweetheart, Montant is not to far from Bozeman but far enough away that you can have peace and quiet in the country but drive on into Bozeman to shop if you really need to.

Her Sweetheart Brand (The Sweetheart Brand, #1)Her Sweetheart Brand by Paula Altenburg
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have fallen in love with Sweetheart, Montana

This is the second book based in Sweetheart, Montana that I have read and I am officially in love with this fictional town. Not far from Bozeman, this town seems to be the typical small Montana town. Everyone knows everyone's business...some even before yourself.

This is Damon and Jess's story. High school sweethearts that are separated for years. Then years later the female Jess returns to town and works endlessly to correct her past. OH Hotness Damon! Author Paula Altenburg knows how to write us a wonderful story that lets us see the struggles that Jess had and caused her to think she had to leave town the way she did...and boy did she do that in a big ole way.... and Damon oh Damon. This is a guy who could steal my heart. Will he steal hers again and can she get his or does she want to? Will the town accept her back and will she want to stay?
Lots of questions and all the answers lie in Sweetheart, Montana. A really great place to visit.
