With only the wedding dress on her back and her honeymoon luggage in the car, Kari Worthington is running away. Determined to put her controlling father, her rigidly structured life, and the uptight groom she left at the altar in her rearview mirror, she escapes to the Texas Hill country . . . and lands on a tall, dark, and gorgeous winery owner's doorstep. All she needs is a job and a place to live until she can get back on her feet. So why is she fantasizing about losing herself in his powerful arms?

For Marc Cordero, freedom is so close he can taste it. He's devoted his life to managing the family business and being a single dad. Now with his daughter away at college and his brother taking over the winery, Marc is ready to hop on his Harley for parts unknown-until a runaway bride bursts onto the scene. Free-spirited and tantalizingly sexy, Kari excites him like no other woman has before. But when irresistible passion turns into something more, will Marc give up his future to take a chance on love?





"BABY IT'S YOU should be called BABY IT'S A WINNER!"- A Tasty Read

Firstly, I must say, if you haven't read a Jane Graves Romance...You are SOOO missing out!  The first book in the Rainbow Valley Series, COWBOY TAKE ME AWAY, drew me into a small Texan town where the gossip is hot and the men are hotter.  The series has a heartwarming story about the town of Rainbow Valley, (Read More Here) and Jane creates an ambivalence that draws you into the lives of the people of Rainbow Valley.

From the moment we meet Marc Cordero in COWBOY TAKE ME AWAY, I wanted him to have a HEA. A Single father at seventeen, he raised a wonderful daughter, and his two siblings, kept the family Winery going all these years, and it's time for him to hit the open road.  He wants nothing more than to jump on his motorcycle and leave Rainbow Valley behind.  BUT...in walks Kari Worthington, soaking wet, broke and in a wedding dress...yes...I know...and it ONLY gets better!!

BABY IT'S YOU was FABULOUS!!  Graves is a True Storyteller!  She writes a romance that has me laughing one moment and bawling my eyes out the next...that for me is a true test of what a romance is all about.  Marc and Kari will steal your heart and make you believe in true love!

Grabbed My Heartstrings....


Heartstrings and Diamond Rings
Jane Graves
Released October 1st, 2011
448 Pages
Grand Central Publishing



HE'S THE MAN OF HER DREAMS . . .
In a world full of frogs, Alison Carter is determined to find her prince. Maybe her dating past is more Titanic than Love Boat, but she's seen enough happy marriages to know that true love is possible. No matter what, she won't give up on happily-ever-after. If she can't find Mr. Right, she'll simply hire someone who can.

SHE JUST DOESN'T KNOW IT YET
When Brandon Scott inherits a successful matchmaking business, he thinks his prayers have been answered. Set up a few lonely ladies, collect the fee, how hard can it be? No one needs to know he's not really a professional matchmaker-especially not his first client, the beautiful, spirited Alison. Soon he's falling for her-and her dreams of kids and carpools. But Alison is getting close to figuring out his secret, and if she learns he's deceived her too, she'll walk right out the door, taking Brandon's heart with her.

What a great read....I am still feeling all giddy and excited about this New Release By Jane Graves.  From page one we are laughing at the sarcastic one liners from our heroine, Allison.  She is the average girl and we are drawn to that because she is like our best friend or co worker, so sweet and nice, but she just can't find the right guy.

Enter Brandon, ahhh Handsome Brandon....Right Guy? Well, more like the matchmaker who is trying to make some cash off of his dead grandmothers old business, before he gets his finances together and takes off. 

What happens when these two team up is funny, enjoyable and let me say, it just tugs on your Heartstrings.  I really enjoyed this book, I had that tight chest feeling of sadness and hope for them both throughout the whole book.  I know a book has gotten to me when the tears start...It was just a really great story and even had a few secondary "Love Matches", but they don't take away from the story, they round it out, and that is what I love about this book!!

Add this book to your "TO READ" pile.....If you want to feel the tug of your heartstrings!!
