When the board of directors of my company mandated that I go to a wellness facility in small-town Maine to recharge, that shouldnโ€™t have included:
1.) Using a ladder to sneak out of the bedroom window at night and going to the local bar.
2.) Getting so drunk that the bar owner brought me upstairs to sleep it off in his bed.
3.) Waking up staring at the taxidermy moose head on said bar ownerโ€™s wall.
4.) Falling for said bar owner who was the most drop-dead gorgeous man Iโ€™ve ever seen.

 

But Brock Hawkins was so much more than just the hot bar owner. He owned half the town, built log cabins with his bare hands, and was apparently the most eligible man in all of Meadowbrook.
He was also a cinnamon roll despite his seemingly rock-hard exterior.
And the last man I shouldโ€™ve been falling forโ€”because my time in this small town was limited.
I had to head back to my life in New York City, one that was the complete opposite from the kind Brock lived.
He was denim. I was diamonds.
The problem was, the sexy lumberjack wasnโ€™t the type of man who was easy to walk away from. Hell, I couldnโ€™t even part with his plaid shirt that had become a constant fixture wrapped around my shoulders most days, let alone think about erasing him from my life.
A life with Brock, though, would have to be all or nothing.
Go big or go home.
I just didnโ€™t realize that choosing to go big might also mean getting my heart broken when Brockโ€™s life took a turn neither of us saw coming.

Denim & DiamondsDenim & Diamonds by Penelope Ward
Tanya’s rating: 5 of 5 stars

Denim and Diamonds is Brock Hawkins and February Shawโ€™s story in this standalone book.

Well, these 2 authors know how to satisfy the soul without fail!!! There is a lot of angst in Brock and Februaryโ€™s story, and I loved it! I love when a book leaves me feeling good and Denim and Diamonds certainly did!

Lita’s Book Review: 4.5 Stars
Denim and Diamond by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. The dynamic duo has done it again. They just keep telling comical love stories that have me entertained from the beginning to the end. February finds herself at a wellness clinic in the middle of nowhere, far from her corporate job in New York City. After an unfortunate incident that embarrassed not only her but also her company, she is at this clinic to deal with a possible nervous breakdown, according to her board of directors. Instead of embracing her situation, February escapes the facility where she proceeds to drink and eventually wakes up in the bartender/bar owner’s bed. From that point, you know things are going to be interesting. Brock is captivated by the beauty in his bed. It has been a while since anyone has captured his attention. When he finds out the beauty’s story, Brock is not only smitten but determined to help his damsel in distress enjoy her stay. I wasn’t sure where this story was going to go. However, I was truly entertained. Yes , I laughed quite often. But when the past reaches back out to Brock, the story takes a very serious turn. I loved it. Of course Brock is dream come true and his back story is just as interesting. February is a laugh riot. A beauty that has a lot of baggage. I couldn’t get enough of their story. 4.5 stars for me.
