When single mother, Annie Malone, purchases a quirky Main Street café on Heron Island, she thinks she’s finally turned her dream of opening her own restaurant into a reality. Hearing rumors that a developer is about to build a five-star resort on the sleepy Chesapeake Bay island, she plans to transform the café into a premier upscale bistro. But Navy SEAL, Will Dozier, has no intention of selling his grandparents’ property to a developer. Back on Heron Island for the first time in ten years and secretly struggling with PTSD, Will decides that a fling with the new girl is the perfect way to help him “get his head straight.” The last thing Will expects is to fall in love…with his hometown and with Annie. But Will’s life and career are in San Diego with the SEALs. Can Annie’s love and the healing magic of the island be enough to convince him to stay?

This was a sweet and romantic story that I was given the chance to review in exchange for my honest opinion.  Annie is a single mom that wants to make a life for her and her daughter, Taylor.  As  a parent, there is nothing you won’t do to help your child, especially after a tragic event. 

Will is a Navy SEAL that is battling his own demons and comes home to take care of some family business.  His decision not to sell to a developer has a direct impact on how Annie is going to make a life for her and Taylor.  I like the way that Will and Taylor connect and find a common ground in their pain.  No good love story is perfect and I like the twists and turns that Ms. Moss has integrated into the story to give it a realistic feel and to make it worthwhile.  I grew up on the Outer Banks of North Carolina and the Chesapeake Bay is right around the corner.  It was nice to sink into a book that felt like home and with characters that I could bond with.  I will be checking out more books from this talented author.

This was a hot story that I really enjoyed!  Luke was aware that he married the wrong sister.  He was attracted to one sister and married her.  The one he wanted, however, was Cailin.  This story is spicy and sexy!  I will be checking out more!

College boy Kevin Banovic’s casual affair with Savi DaCosta suited him perfectly. Things change when he finds out that Savi is his mom’s high school bestie. When Kevin tries to end their affair, Savi blackmails him. After Kevin rescues Savi’s stepdaughter, L’Wren, from her abusive boyfriend, he can’t stop thinking about her. He must find a way to handle Savi, protect L’Wren, and keep his sanity.

Bad girl Adriana Banovic is pleased with herself for getting her nemesis expelled from Westwood Academy. As feelings between her and her latest victim Haze Lyndon escalate, an unexpected rival discovers her secret and threatens to expose her. With emotions on the line, will her new rival beat her at her own game or end up another casualty of Adriana’s wrath?

Zax Banovic has it all. Tall and handsome, he’s an academic genius, with a killer smile and a heart of gold. When his best friend gets into trouble, he feels responsible and covers for him. But his best friend is not as honorable and has other plans for Zax.

The Banovic Siblings learn that blackmail is a gift that keeps on giving. This is the second book in the Family Portrait novel series.

If you like shows like the original Melrose Place, Beverly Hills 90210 and Nashville, where the guys and girls are hot and the schemes are hotter, you will like The Banovic Siblings.

Just for the record, I received a copy of this in exchange for my review. 

I am a fan of Gillian Felix’s work.  This book picks up and takes you on a drama filled roller coaster.  Her characters are real and flawed.  I love that in a book!  There are only so many “perfect” characters you can take before you chuck the book out the window.  These siblings are a handful that I feel you either love or hate.  I have to say that no good deed goes unpunished and I think that you guys will love the Banovic crew!

Gillian Felix has been writing since she was old enough to hold a pencil. She enjoys creating characters that could be your next-door neighbor, but would you want them as your neighbor is another story.

Originally from the island of Trinidad and Tobago, Miss Felix moved to the United States in 1998. Since then she has been involved in the entertainment industry for over fifteen years. Her experience ranges from script supervisor to production manager on many independent features. She is trained in the Meisner and Stanislavski technique of acting, which she credits as an asset to her character development and writing.

Miss Felix is an entrepreneur and advocate for children’s and women’s rights.
