Four years ago, my dreams were shattered in an instant.

Three months ago, I found something I haven’t had in years.


Hope.


That hope came in the form of a sexy, carefree hockey player named Brody Murphy. He swooped in and won me over with his big heart and the way he cared for me…and my girls. When they look at him, they see the father they’ve never had.


Now, my past and present are colliding and the outcome might just be too much for me to bear. Can I make the right decision when I’ve spent my whole life making the wrong ones?






My Reviews:

Room For You

Holyyyyyyy Pretzel!!!! I have been living under a rock!! What took me so long to meet Mr. Brody ''The Wall'' Murphy???? Eeeeeeep!!! I finished reading this book a couple of hours ago and I'm still in a state of MUSH!!! Sweet mother of God! Nothing could have prepared me for all those ''swoon bombs'' he was throwing my way <3 Room For You is the first installment in the Cranberry Inn series by Beth Ehemann. I almost fell off of my chair when I found out that this was her debut novel! Wow! Amazinggggg!!!! The first time I saw the cover for Room For You I was instantly mesmerized by it. I have to admit that these covers reflect perfectly the story. It's a sweet/sexy romantic love story that captivated me from the first page to the last!

Room For You is the story of Kacie, a twenty-four years old single mom who works hard to raise her five years old twin daughters, Piper and Lucy. She helps her mom with the Inn and is studying to become a nurse. Kacie's life has been a road full of obstacles since Zach, the twins dad, left them and never looked back.  Brody is a twenty-seven years old hockey player with a heart of gold. After visiting his mom, he heads back home. When a storm hits and he as to stop and find a place to stay, he sees the sign of the Cranberry Inn. When the door of the Inn opens, he is captivated by the beautiful woman who is tanding on the other side. Kacie is left breathless when she opens the door and welcomes sexy, fun and sweet Brody to the Inn. After only a few days, they develop an amazing bond. When Brody leaves the Inn to go back to his life, he can't stop thinking about Kacie. He's on a mission to bring back fun into her life and make her live her life to the fullest. What he never expected was to fall head over heels in love with her. Kacie is hesitant in letting Brody into her life. She's been burned in the past and is scared that she will be left alone once again. But after spending some wonderful moments with Brody she jumps at the chance of finding love again. Mother nature brought them together, but the past is catching up to tear them apart.

Get ready to cheer for Team Brocie! They will steal your heart with their tender moments and your temperature will rise with their blazing hot chemistry! Kacie and Brody are fun, sweet, flirtatious, engaging, amazing characters! Brody was exactly what Kacie was looking for. His love for her is absolutely amazing and heart-warming! The way he cares not only for her, but for the twins is adorable! He's an amazing son, friend and boyfriend! Prepare to add his name to your ''Book Boyfriend'' list. He totally deserves a place at the top of the list ;)

What I absolutely loved about this book is that the supporting characters of this story were all well developed. Most of the time, the H/h take up most of the story in the book. But with Room For You, we got to read about Kacie and Brody's beautiful love story, but also about the people that love and support them. Piper, Lucy, Alexa, Sophia, Fred, Lauren, Tommy, Viper Andy and Brody's family were all amazing characters who added a touch of awesomeness to this amazing story! Oh, I almost forgot ... Be prepared to ''B*tch Slap'' Blaire when once you meet her. What a selfish and despicable person!!! The end of this book leaves you with a WTH!!!! cliffhanger! I am so happy that I have Room For More waiting for me on my kindle. Kudos to the readers who had to wait all this time to find out what happens next! PHENOMENAL work by Beth Ehemann!



Room For More

Wow!!!! I really liked Room For You, which is the first installment of the Cranberry Inn Series, but Room For More?!?!?!?!? Loveeeeeeeeeed it!!! I devoured this book in 3 freakin' hours!!! I got the chance to read this series back-to-back and I am so happy I got to discover author Beth Ehemann and her books. 

Room For You ended with a cliffhanger. My heart was beating fast when I read the last page of the Epilogue. I was like ''What?!?!?!?! Oh, Hell NO!!!!! This can't be happening!!!'' Thank God I already had Room For More on my kindle! I was so anxious to find out what was going to happen next and how Kacie was going to deal with everything that was happening to her. Room For More picks up where Room For You left off. Kacie finally overcame her fears and let Brody into her life. In this installment I got answers to my questions, I got to read about Kacie and Brody's careers and the author once again brought some extra awesomeness to the story with the supporting characters. I got to see Kacie and Brody grow not only as a couple, but as individuals as well. They both had their share of personal problems and even if the past tried to tear them apart, their bond was strong. I don't want to give too much away about what they went through, but one thing is sure ...  it was an emotional ride! Each reader needs to embark on this amazing journey and cheer for this fantastic couple! They will steal your heart ... I promise!!! What is amazing about this series is that you can relate so well to all the characters. This book, just like Room For You, is written in a dual POV. I love when the authors do that! It makes me connect even more with the characters. 

Once again the supporting characters stole my heart and we even got to meet a new one that had me LOL a couple of times! Kacie's co-worker and friend, Darla, is freakin' hilarious!!! I don't know if there will be any more books in this series, but Darla, Viper and Andy all deserve their own book. They are awesome!!! I was so happy to see that Blaire got exactly what she deserved. She was such a mean person in Room For You. This book was filled with funny, romantic, swoony and emotional moments. This is exactly the kind of sequel that I was expecting! Beth Ehemann does not disappoint! 


Rating:

I give, The Cranberry Inn Series, by Beth Ehemann 5 winky face, romantic, steamy, delightful, fantastic, twinkie swear stars! I really hope this series will continue. I'm ready to book my room at the Cranberry Inn for my next reading escape! ;)





“Good morning!” I bounced into the kitchen.

“Hi?” Mom said, turning to face me from the stove. “What’s with you today? You’re unusually perky.”

“Nothing. Just excited to see Brody tonight.” The girls had already finished eating and were coloring at the island as I walked over and kissed them on the tops of their heads.

Mom rolled her eyes and chuckled. “It’s only been a couple days since you two have seen each other.”

“I know.” I went over to the stove and scooped up some scrambled eggs on my plate before I sat with Lucy and Piper at the island. “I’m pathetic.”

“A little, but it’s sweet.” She winked at me.

“Wait! Before I get too excited, is there a guest room available tonight?”

Mom turned back from the stove with a blank look on her face and stared at me. After a second she pulled her brows in and tilted her head to the side suspiciously. “Did he not tell you?”

I was confused. “Tell me what?”

A slow grin grew on her face and she slowly shook her head. “Oh, that boy. You better hold on to him, Kacie.”

“What are you talking about?”

“When he told me about you being uncomfortable, um—” She glanced at the girls and back at me. I could tell she was trying to speak in code because of them. “—being roommates at night, I told him that he was welcome to a guest room anytime he wanted one. I said I’d save one for him.” She walked over to the island and put her hand on her hip while I continued shoveling eggs into my mouth. “He insisted I not be out any money because of all this, so he prepaid for one guest room for an entire year. Three hundred and sixty-five nights.”

My mouth fell open as my fork dropped to the plate, making a horrible clanging noise. “He paid for a whole year?

She nodded. “A whole year. He’s crazy about you, Girl,and clearly confident in your relationship—at least for a year.”

“Be right back!” I jumped off the stool and ran to my bedroom, grabbing my phone off the nightstand.

YOU PAID FOR A WHOLE YEAR?!?!?

My foot tapped impatiently for two minutes, waiting for his response. Finally, my phone beeped.

B: YOU TALKED TO YOUR MOM, HUH?

WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?

B: WHAT? AND MISS THIS MOMENT? ARE YOU KIDDING? SURPRISING YOU IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS IN THE WORLD, KACIE. WELL, THAT AND WATCHING THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE WHEN YOU COME. 



Beth Ehemann lives in the northern suburbs of Chicago with her 4 crazy kids and her husband, who’s also a big kid most of the time. She loves reading, photography, martinis and all things Chicago Cubs.
