Chasing Frost by Isabel Jolie

Chase is the last guy in his group of friends that is unattached.  He’s a little different from the usual businessman in romances of this type.  He’s not grumpy, rocking a Tom Ford suit, and or over six feet tall.  He does spend a few hours every day at the gym and know how many calories the yummy foods have.  

I liked the story and the chemistry between Chase and Sydney.  A guy honest about his feelings without playing games is rare.  One that also is willing to admit when he’s been hurt and not only that, but he doesn’t hide it and pretend he wasn’t.

This is a well written dual POV novel with romance, spies, accounting(!), fraud, gun fights and of course someone gets married, too.

Walk the Dog by Isabel Jolie

This story has all the feels starting with Delilah being a breath of fresh air.  Mason is the loving, sensitive single dad.  While their attraction is instant,  they cross paths with each other at a time in their lives when there is too much unsettled.  But, they can’t resist one another.  A rocky road is inevitable especially with Mason’s daughter’s feelings to consider, too.

The author really pulled me in from the beginning by giving the female character the energy the story and Mason needed.  The mood is almost entirely driven by Delilah’s energy since Mason decide early on what he wants and just has to convince Delilah that’s what she wants,

It was so easy to want this little family to be together and I did tear up several times when it seemed things were plotting to prevent that from happening.

This is the first book I have read by Isabel Jolie and I will be reading the book about Sam next.

Trust Me by Isabel Jolie

I could not put this book down once I started reading it.  Olivia is a down to earth and mature young woman that has been setting and achieving her goals.  Sam made his fortune with his tech savvy and as a result distrusted anyone that tried to have a relationship with him.  Were they after his money?  Trying to trap him?  When he meets Olivia the first time she is drawn to him and he doesn’t realize she has no idea who he is.  They cross paths soon thereafter and the intrigue, love and adventure begins.
