Synopsis: “Southern town seeks single women. Though they're nothing but trouble...
The hardheaded Armstrong brothers are determined to rebuild their tornado-ravaged hometown in the Georgia mountains. They’ve got the means, they’ve got the manpower…what they need are women! So they place an ad in a Northern newspaper and wait for the ladies to arrive…
Eldest brother Marcus Armstrong considers the estrogen-influx an irritating distraction. He’s running a town, not a dating service!
Reporter Alicia Randall thinks the Armstrong brothers are running a scam and she intends to prove it—even if it means seducing oh-so-sexy Marcus in the process. Sizzling sex and a hot story? Win-win!
At least it is, until she falls for the guy. Will love trump betrayal when the truth comes out?”
Baby, Don’t Go by Stephanie Bond is a wonderful story about finding trust and love in the last place you ever thought you would find it. I have been waiting weeks to read this story capping out finally with the oldest Armstrong brother Marcus. Marcus is a character who is so surly and in charge that it’s hot and when he finally shows interest in a woman, readers will breathe a sigh. Alicia is a lot like Marcus himself, always working and taking care of others before taking care of herself. Once they meet they almost have an instant connection to one another because they recognize themselves in each other. Baby, Don’t Go by Stephanie Bond is a great story that will have readers laughing, crying, and rooting for an H.E.A. I give Baby, Don’t Go by Stephanie Bond 5 smirks because it is a must read and must own book with a lot of personality.
Review of Irresistible? by Stephanie Bond

Synopsis: “Ellie Sutherland isn't exactly desperate--yet. But she's getting pretty close. So when she has a chance to take part in a four-week clinical study that involves a pill that makes the taker attractive to the opposite sex, Ellie doesn't waste any time signing up. After all, she has nowhere to go but up, right?”
Irresistible? by Stephanie Bond is perhaps one of the most fun loving romance stories I have ever heard. I loved how Ellie and Mark were so different and yet complimented each other. I also loved how truly crazy Ellie was and how she can turn anything into a laughing situation. Mark, of course, is a gorgeous man who has untold depths and the ability to make readers hearts stop as he realizes what he truly wants out of life. Irresistible? by Stephanie Bond is easily 5 smirks because the characters were lovable, the story had depth, and it made me laugh and wish for happy endings.

Synopsis: “The hardheaded Armstrong brothers are determined to rebuild their tornado-ravaged hometown in the Georgia mountains. They’ve got the means, they’ve got the manpower…what they need are women! So they place an ad in a Northern newspaper and wait for the ladies to arrive…
Sensible yet sexy middle brother Kendall Armstrong penned that ad himself—but there’s just one woman he really wants to answer the call…
Civil engineer Amy Bradshaw—Kendall’s ex-fiancée—fled Sweetness years ago, taking a precious souvenir with her. She’s back now…but only on a professional level. Really. Little does she know that old flames always burn the hottest..”
Baby, Come Home by Stephanie Bond is story about long time romance and how three little words could have and can change everything. I found this book (second in this series) to be a very modern love story about how not communicating can truly affect how a person sees themselves and how they build their lives. Baby, Come Home by Stephanie Bond pulls readers in with the passionate dynamic between Amy and Kendall that sparks fire within every reader’s hearts.

I fell in love not only with this story, but with the characters as well. Baby, Drive South gripped me and reeled me in with Porter’s antics and Nikki’s cautious nature.
