I love being a blogger...
Escaping reality is my happy place...
Today's post is brought to you by the Mom who is ultimately exhausted from being a mom, a wife, a homeschool teacher, housekeeper, chef, and still working basically full time from home - oh did I forget I am also in school working on trying to finally get my bachelor's degree. Do we think I have enough on my plate? It's all good I am taking it in stride and day by day but damn if I am not exhausted and truly living on coffee. I need to patent an IV that dispenses coffee - I could become a millionaire.
Ok, rant time over...
Let's talk books...
I had the pleasure of reading an ARC of Raised On It by Lisa Shelby (who I absolutely love btw) and fell in love with everything about the book and the people in it. We are going to start off by staying that I have claimed Miles so if you have or have not read the book yet just know that Miles is MINE and I am not sharing him with anyone. I have #claimedthefarmboy and no one can take him from me. Ok, now that we have gotten that straight and out of the way, Raised On It is a sweet, loving, hometown story about finding your "one" when you really aren't even looking. Have you ever felt "crackle" when you meet someone? Well, Miles feels a "crackle" between him and a woman he sees in a bar one evening and before he even gets her name tells her straight out that "he is going to marry her one day". This begins the pursuit of Mason and trying to gain her trust. Miles is straightforward, cocky, funny, caring, selfless, a true farm boy at heart, and will go above and beyond for anyone and puts people before himself. Do you see why he is MINE and why I am not sharing? I truly fell in love with Miles and Mason.
Lisa Shelby once again has created a wonderful world that I wish I could be apart of. I mean I would totally fit right in with "The Crew" and I guess I could learn to like beer - if having Miles in my life would mean drinking beer I could take one for the team (sorry Mason). Raised On It focuses on FAMILY and Miles goal was to break down the walls Mason carried with her to see that he could be her FAMILY.
I absolutely loved Raised On It and would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Lisa Shelby has once again outdone herself.
PRE-ORDER RAISED ON IT BELOW...
“I’m going to marry you one day.” A deep voice says from the barstool next to me.
It all happened so fast.
A week ago, romance writer, Mason O’Brien was at a party on the Upper Eastside. Tonight, she’s eating alone at the only bar in the tiny town of Eastlyn, Oregon.
A spur of the moment decision to swap houses with a new friend landed Mason in Smalltown, USA in search of inspiration for her latest story.
As if she'd landed between the pages of one of her books, the town of Eastlyn came complete with a charming sandy-haired farm boy with a reputation. Mason has known men like Miles Montgomery before and she has no intention of becoming another notch on his or anyone else's bedpost.
When Miles makes it his mission to be Mason’s unofficial tour guide she finds her walls beginning to crumble as she discovers what lies beneath his charming exterior. If she’s not careful she’ll be leaving Eastlyn with a broken heart three months from now.
Raised On It: A Between the Pines Novel is a contemporary small-town romance. Each book in the Between the Pines Series can be read as a standalone.
