One of These Nights by Kendra Leigh Castle (Harvest Cove #3) Contemporary Romance September 2, 2015 Signet Reviewed by Helyce From Goodreads: Moving to Harvest Cove has been like a dream come true for Zoe Watson, providing her with a job she loves and close friends she considers practically family. The only problem: a certain prickly—albeit handsome—park ranger who can’t seem to help tracking mud into her art gallery…or showing up in her dreams. Jason Evans swore off relationships Continue Reading

Review: Every Little Kiss by Kendra Leigh Castle

March 12, 2015 by Helyce Leave a Comment

Every Little Kiss by Kendra Leigh Castle (Harvest Cove #2) Contemporary Romance March 3, 2015 Signet Reviewed by Helyce It was wonderful to return to the lovely coastal town of Harvest Cove and revisit the characters from book one.  In Every Little Kiss, we are treated to a love story where both characters have experienced trauma and loss of different kinds and they have a lot to overcome just within themselves before they can truly be together. Emma Henry grew up with the stigma of Continue Reading

For The Longest Time by Kendra Leigh Castle (Harvest Cove #1) Contemporary Romance July 1, 2014 Signet Reviewed by Helyce I’ve been a fan of Ms. Castle for years now.  Her paranormals have always been an auto buy for me and I especially enjoyed her recent Dark Dynasties and Hearts of the Fallen series.  So while I was surprised at her jump to contemporary romance, I looked forward to it. Excited to see what she’d come up with and I’m thrilled to tell you how much I enjoyed this Continue Reading

Immortal Craving by Kendra Leigh Castle (Dark Dynasties #4) Paranormal Romance January 29, 2013 Forever Reviewed by Helyce Tasmin Singh is the last of his kind.
