GRR Reviews Beautiful Storm by Mandi Blake

Tori, a nurse, married a doctor. It should be a perfect life... Both are great in their fields, and they have a great loft in Chicago... until he told her he had fallen for someone else and wanted an "easy divorce"... and even gave her the deed to a cabin in the Deep South... She'll just head south to sell the darn thing. // Marcus runs the auto-repair shop and tries to keep his siblings out of trouble since their mom is completely toxic and unable to be a parent. So what's a city girl like Tori doing in town? How did she get the deed to the grand cabin? Who is she really?

I'm really not feeling much about this one. Neighbors, sure. Small town, sure, but the two characters never really felt like having much chemistry to me. 2.5/5

GRR Reviews Living Hope by Mandi Blake

Natalie works several jobs which barely kept the roof over her head, food on her table, and kept payments on her mom's medical bills. Then the convenience store she worked at was robbed at gunpoint, and she felt her life pass before her eyes...  // Deputy Jake swore to serve and protect, and his arrival at the convenience store, brought him Natalie, who was shocked by the robbery, but was able to provide enough details about one of the suspects. Jake wanted to help her, but she's rejecting him, being too busy to contemplate romance. But when her mother finally passed away, Jake was there to catch her. But soon, Natalie's estranged father showed up, claiming to own the house and wanted to evict Natalie. Jake will protect Natalie to the best of his ability, but will Natalie lean on him at all?

The nemesis was introduced a bit late and barely made an impact until the darkest hour. The intro was also a bit too long and the pacing just felt off. 3/5
