Synopsis:

Welcome to the Winters Family Series, a sweet and sexy contemporary romance, where family comes first, romance is all around, and plates will be filled with many delicious meals.

Joshua Winters is a math teacher by day, bartender by night.  He's the middle Winters brother, and tends to be a bit of a wild child.  Ten years ago he met the girl of his dreams in algebra class, his junior year of high school.  He tries all of his sexy charm on this unapproachable girl, but then she mysteriously leaves Wilmington and he feels lost.  Now seeing her standing in the bar where he works, he realizes this may be his second chance.

Kenzie Waters grew up a military brat and traveled everywhere while she was growing up.  Since she relocates about every six months to a year she vowed to not make friends and just keep to herself.  When she met Joshua Winters in high school, he managed to crack her tough exterior.  Still guarded, she kept her distance from the cutest boy in high school.  When her father is called for another tour of duty in Afghanistan, her mom moves them back to Arizona to be with family.  Just two months after living back in Arizona, her father comes home injured.  The next ten years, she endures so much, and yet Joshua always stayed in the forefront of her mind.

Now, Kenzie has made her way back to Wilmington, NC, and hopefully into the arms of the one man who had her heart all along.  Sometimes we fall in love with someone even before we know it.

REVIEW:

Wow, the beginning of the book really drew me in and explained their situations so the readers can easily follow both. It was obvious that both were not ready for a relationship with each other at that time in their life.

I did find that the writing style was slightly difficult to enjoy although not difficult to follow. I'm not sure what about it threw me off but it wasn't my favorite style of writing.

There were several different types of moments, some cute, some hard, others easy. This made the book very life like.

If you're not a big fan of insta-love then I wouldn't suggest You're Mine for your reading but if you don't mind it or really enjoy it then it certainly is a good book.

Excerpt

As she walked out of her office, a flash of movement caught her attention.  She walked up front and saw Joshua sitting on a chair.  He had his head bent, and was looking at his phone.  She stopped and just looked at him, damn he was gorgeous.  Somehow she had to tell him about her degrees, or lack thereof, but how?  She walked towards him, and at the same moment he lifted his head and looked into her eyes.  They both never took their eyes off each other, Kenzie stopped just inches from him.

With just a hint of a smile, “I thought you were heading to The Clam Bake with Izzy and Drew?”

He stood and walked towards her.  Filling the empty space between them, “I decided to wait and walk over with you.  Is that okay?”

“Of course.” She had her hands knotted together, and her thumbs were moving back and forth.  Her head was bent, and she was looking at her hands.

Joshua was only about 4 inches taller than her, so he bent just slightly to look into her chocolate colored eyes.  “You want to talk about what has you distracted?”

She looked up and wanted to just melt into him, smiling, “Not right now, let’s go get a drink.”

He wasn’t going to push, he didn’t know her enough to push.  “Whenever you’re ready, you know I’m here.”

She looked confused, “Why?”

He was a little thrown off by the question, “Why what?”

“Why would you want to be here for me, after all I did to you?  I was horrible to you in high school, and then never bothered to apologize - until ten years later.”  She stopped talking, and turned away from him, then quietly whispered, “Shit, I still haven’t apologized.”

Joshua walked up behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist.  He really could get used to this, the feel of her next to him.  “I’m working on letting go Kenzie, and you should, too.  Only forward, right?”

She leaned her head back onto his chest and let out a deep sigh, “I don’t think I can let go just yet, there are a few things that I need to resolve first.”  She turned into his embrace, loving the way it felt in his arms.  She really hoped he would still want to be near her once he knew about her, and her past.

******

Kenzie was laughing as she walked into The Clam Bake.  Joshua was behind her, lightly poking her sides and trying to make her laugh.  She suddenly turned and grabbed his hands in hers, “Oh my God, paybacks are a bitch!”

Joshua couldn’t stop smiling, with their hands still joined, he tugged her closer to him.  He whispered for only her ears, “Ya, what’re going to do, spank me?”

Kenzie immediately flushed at his words, “Maybe?”

Joshua pulled her even closer, “I think we have a problem?”

Looking confused, “What kind of problem?”

But before he could answer her question, Izzy hopped over and stuck her head in between theirs.  “Hi there chick-a-dees, you plan on joining us for dinner, or giving the restaurant a show of a lifetime?”

Kenzie pressed her head to Joshua’s chest, her mouth was facing his chest.  With a muffled voice, “What are you doing to me, Joshua Winters?”

Isabel laughed, like full belly laughed, “Sweetie, it’s called the Winters charm…and they’re all freaking hot, of course.”

Joshua wrapped his arms around Kenzie, “My charm and looks have you flustered?  Well now you know what you do to me, every single time you walk into a room.” He whispered in her ear, “You also make it hard for me to walk properly.” He bent and kissed her temple, “Want bourbon on the rocks to calm your nerves?”  Then he poked her side again to get her attention.

She quickly lifted her head to protest, but instead was suddenly lost in his eyes.  Just inches from his mouth, and all she wanted to do was kiss those gorgeous full lips.  Then he smiled, full teeth showing and all, and that was it for her.  She leaned up and kissed him, not a thank you or how are you kiss - it was a kiss that started to heat the whole room up instantly.

When she pulled back, they both had glazed looks, and half grins plastered on their faces.  He pulled back, put his arm around her waist and walked them towards Isabel and Drew.  Isabel was smiling, “I just ordered you both bourbon on the rocks, you need it.”

Kenzie finally found her voice, “Thank you, Izzy.  Did you make it a double?” They all started laughing.

Undeniably Chosen by Shelly Crane Release Blitz!

  

Ava has watched her parents, Caleb and Maggie, live the perfect
fairy tale, the perfect love story, played out in front of her eyes her entire
life. Her family is love, life, and happiness. The Jacobsons are everything a
family should be and Ava is loved and well taken care of. But the one thing
that’s missing from her life is the one thing she’s waited for every day, the
one thing her kind knows will make them complete, the one thing they thought
was gone and lost forever.

Her significant.

Seth has lived with the Watsons his entire life. They’re the
only family he knows, but he knows that there are things they keep from him. He
knows that they lie and they do unspeakable evil, things from when he was a
child that he can barely remember that cling to the edges of his memory. He
barely remembers his real mother and all he knows is what he’s told. He doesn’t
know what to trust. He wants to believe that the Watsons love and care for him,
have his best interest at heart, but isn’t so sure of that anymore when he
finally—after a lifetime of waiting for her—meets his soulmate, and the
Watson’s first act is to try to take her away from him.

The Virtuoso worlds collide, hearts are exposed, humans are
endangered, and the lives of Seth and Ava are changed forever. They’ll have to
love without judgment or reservation, they’ll have to be wise and accepting
beyond their years, they’ll have to forgive for things before they’ve even
happened, they’ll have to trust without seeing, have faith without knowing, and
they’ll have to light their own way in the dark when everyone else is blind to
show them the way. And more than anything else…

… they’ll fight like hell to keep each other.

Review:

I honestly did not realize that there were going to be more books in this series until I stumbled upon Shelly's website one day and realized that oh my goodness there was more! Or going to be more! And I'm so glad I did! Because wow, if you thought Maggie and Caleb had a lot to get over before their happy ending, you don't even know how much Seth and Ava have to go through. But still they fight. And we were able to get updates on the Jacobsons as well as the council. Although grrrr...blood still boils.

We finally understand a lot of things and it does not paint a  pretty picture. But there are moments where things fade away and you get the sweet beautiful love. Shelly Crane has created another masterpiece and I cannot wait for the story to continue.

When I entered the kitchen where the breakfast nook was, everyone
stopped eating and talking, which made me feel so uncomfortable until Seth
stood up so fast that his chair almost tipped over behind him.

He let his out in a slow, low noise before… “Wow.”

Mom chuckled and leaned back with a smile, clapping twice. “And
that, ladies and gentleman, is how it’s done.”

My neck was so pink I could feel it, and Seth—realizing he’d just
practically fallen at my feet in front of everyone—smiled that smile that tore
through me like tissue paper and then turned it on my mother. She sat up
straighter and looked at me with wide eyes.

‘I know’, I mouthed as I moved toward him.

“Eat, Ave,” Dad said, knowing what I was doing.

“I’m going to be late. And it’s the last day of school before
winter break.”

“Gee, I wonder why you’re late—” Rodney began. I punched his arm.

“I’ll just take this.” I grabbed a biscuit, stuck a piece of
sausage in it, and wrapped it in a napkin. “I’ll eat it,” I promised.

“I’ll make sure she eats,” Seth told them. Mom came and hugged
him, telling him something in his ear and he nodded. “Thanks, Mrs. Jacobson. I
will. I promise.”

Dad patted his shoulder and told him to make sure to stop by
anytime, no invitation needed. Dad went to the counter and started making me a
coffee in a to-go cup. I knew he was doing it, because I saw him pull the
Hazelnut creamer from the fridge. But I saw him pull out a second to-go cup…and
he made it black. How did he already know that Seth took his coffee black?!

“What is going on here?” I muttered under my breath.

Seth took both of the cups from my dad and guided me with an arm
around my back. “Thanks for the coffee and breakfast. Bye, guys.”

“Bye, Seth!” Mom called cheerily.

I looked at the snow and the porch as we came outside to make sure
that everything was the same, that I hadn’t entered an episode of a TV show of
some alternate reality or something.

I looked at Seth. “If you tell me your name is The Doctor,
I’m outta here.”

He laughed loudly. “And now you’re a “Doctor Who” fan? Freaking
adorable,” he mumbled under his breath. “Your parents are awesome, Ava.” He was
so sincere.

“I was worried I was going to have to save you.”

“No need.” He used his elbow to swipe the snow off of a spot and
then set the coffees on his hood. The truck was already cranked so he must have
the kind where you do it from the key fob because there were no footprints in
the snow. He opened the door, helped me in, and then got the coffees, handing
mine to me. “They were awesome about not making me feel weird. Even Rodney
wasn’t too bad.”

He laughed before shutting my door.

My dress wasn’t too short, but I did notice how it rose up
mid-thigh when I sat down. But the leggings kept the ensemble decent. And warm.

The truck was so warm, but I still slid over as
soon as he shut my door. When he got in and saw how close I was, his grin was
adorable. He got in and turned the heat on even more, looking at my legs and
shutting his eyes for a few seconds too long. “You’re not too cold with those
on?”

“Leggings?” I laughed.

“Is that what they’re called?” he half-growled as he backed out
and got on the road. “They should be called evil.”

“They’re just like pants, just thinner. Jeans, just not made of
quite the same thing. Jeggings.”

He laughed and shook his head. “As long as you’re warm,
sweetheart, call ‘em whatever you want.” He looked at my legs again and then
away with a little groan. “I’ll just call them evil because I can see every
inch of your legs in those things.”

My heart practically did the Tennessee Waltz behind my ribs. “And
that’s evil?” I squeaked.

“Evil,” he reiterated and smiled.
