Wild Oat Milk by Elena Dawne

Elena Dawne returns with the Spice in the Mountains series and I couldn't be more surprised and ecstatic about it. Gunnar Scott takes the forefront as the MMC and he is the sexiest and greenest flag you could ever ask for. This man is simply devoted to his child as well as the mother of his child and woman of his dreams—Jemma Wade. I loved how sweet this book was and how it plays on the one night stand, accidental pregnancy, and second chance romance tropes. Gunnar was previously featured in Mountain Daddy's Milk & Honeymoon and played a role in Maggie and Ben's HEA. I thought it was interesting that this book took place before, during, and after that event. We got to see the "repercussions" of his actions. Jemma was a likeable FMC but I grew frustrated with her at times because her view on love was heavily influenced by one father's departure and the other's subsequent heartbreak. As a result, she had to take care of the one who was left behind and it changed her. Jem didn't think that anyone would ever love or stay for her—until Gunnar.

“I feel loved by him. More so than by anyone else. And despite my efforts not to, I think I love him too.”

In the end, Gunnar was the MVP of this book and I loved his character so much. He didn't think he deserved Jem but was willing to stay by her side even if she discarded him. It broke my heart to see his devotion and love for her. Thankfully, she made the right choice and grabbed her chance at a happy ending once and for all. Jem knew what she wanted but her own insecurities made her doubt everything. However, she was able to overcome her own misgivings and made the best choice ever. I really hope that Elena Dawne will continue writing books for Gunnar's friends including Jason, Vince, and Daryl. Their interaction during Gunnar's confession was hilarious and made me interested in their stories. In any case, if you are in the market for a spicy and sweet book featuring the most devoted and adorable mountain man, read this book. You won't be disappointed by the characters, love story, and steamy scenes.

Dearly Beloved by Amelia Wilde

Amelia Wilde returns to world of the Wealth and Power series, which featured both Mason Hill and Gabriel Hill as its main protagonists. Dearly Beloved focuses on Jacob Chambers and Catherine Bettencourt, who were previously side characters in Gabriel and Elise's story, and I was delightfully surprised by their story so far. There was more to them than meets the eye. What started out as a revenge story in the beginning has turned into a happy ending for the Hills family but some are still haunted by the evil deeds of their father. Despite his charming outward appearance, Jacob is a broken and tortured man who feels guilt-ridden over the lives that his father has destroyed. One could could argue, however, that he had already paid for the sins of his father. In any case, I found his relationship with Catherine to be unique because in addition to saving her from her father, Jacob also protected Catherine by entering an arranged marriage with her. As they spend more time together, both begin to develop feelings for each other but there seems to be outside forces who want to destroy their happiness before its begun.

"I'll never stop thinking of her. It will probably always hurt to breathe, thinking of her.

In the end, I really enjoyed Jacob and Catherine's story because there was angst, romance, and sweet moments with characters from previous books. I absolutely can't wait for Dearly Departed because this book ends in a shocking cliffhanger. I do wish that Amelia Wilde could have provided readers with a synopsis of the story so far and/or index of her characters because I had a difficult time remembering what happened due to not having read some of her previous books. Fans of Amelia Wilde will not be disappointed by this angsty and spicy story because I was really surprised by the sexy scenes. I should have known since Jacob and Gabriel used to be in a relationship but I commend the author and Catherine for taking a chance on this kink. Jacob is a sweet but broken man but he perfectly complements Catherine who is kind, open-minded, and wants to explore her sexuality with him.
