Donna's Freebies

And now for the maybe not so secret secret I've been keeping!

I'm dipping my toes into the romantic adventure genre, which is like one step below Romantic Suspense. So there's romance and drama, but not as much chasing and gunfire and general suspense. But it's still chock full of adventure and romance!

This volume features four books by four different authors.

Series/Volume Title: Hometown Second Chances

Falling into Love - Megan Besing

When a last-ditch marketing plan sends her the perfect bride-to-be client, Liz Skye is literally willing to jump out of a perfectly good airplane to save her company. Even if that means being tethered to veteran Asher Chase, her family’s only enemy. However, when danger strikes, wedding bells won’t be in anyone’s future if they can’t stop the person set on revenge. But can Liz depend on Asher, who won’t leave her side, or does he have an agenda of his own? With her life and company on the line—the ultimate cost may just be her heart.

Forgotten in Alaska - Tabitha Bouldin

Veterinarian Morgan Young never expected to see Gabriel Tanner again after he vanished before their wedding. But when she's called to treat a sick sled dog, she comes face-to-face with him and a devastating truth: an accident stole his memory of her for the last five years. He returned as soon as he remembered but refuses to let her close until he uncovers what happened. Unable to watch him leave again, Morgan joins his dangerous journey into the Alaskan wilderness, reigniting their feelings for each other. When missing dogs and stolen supplies suggest someone wants the truth buried, they must survive nature's fury and ruthless pursuers to find answers.

Spring on Apple River - Andrea Christenson

Elena Kennedy scoops ice cream and pulls espresso at her family’s café near the Apple River in Sunset Falls, Wisconsin, but she dreams of returning to Russia, the country she fell in love with as a missionary. Secret Service agent Mack Rogers hates his current assignment: babysitting a former president in Nowheresville, Wisconsin, a posting he suspects is punishment for the near assassination of the President on his watch.

When Mack meets Elena on his daily coffee run, sparks fly. Then he notices her photographs from Russia—taken disturbingly close to the assassination site. Can he clear her name so they can be together?

Unexpected Bridges - Rebecca Reed

Can a secret bridge the years and hurt between them?

If she’d known signing on to be a bridesmaid would drag her into a quest to search out clues hidden in buried journals, Emily Hunt may not have agreed. But then she’d have missed mine explosions, tomato guts, friendship, and the reunion with the former best friend she still writes though he’s never answered.

Desperate to pay for his mom’s pacemaker, Diamante Butz leverages a century old family relic to sue for partial ownership in a Montana ranch. He doesn’t expect to find belonging or the woman he owes a confession.
