Reviews for Dixie Lynn Dwyer

Cora is a broken soul but the men that have an interest in her are also broken. Can they heal their hearts together so they can live as one unit, one heart, one family? Okay so where do I start with this story. From the moment that Cora was introduced in her sister’s story I knew I wanted to know her story. She was a broken soul that just wanted to protect her children she wanted to be strong no longer feel weak. I felt so relieved for them when they were able to get away but the monster that hurt her and her family not excluding the children was still out there somewhere hiding in the shadows. This is a love story in the making. I know there were some scenes in which I held my breath because of how some of the scenes unfolded. All of the characters in this story each had their own story that had to be heard and heard I did. Cora and her men’s story was spellbinding and their relationship was powerful especially because some of those men were dominating, mean but they would not hurt a hair on Cora’s body. Beau was a man that was so much like Cora, they both dealt with nightmares from their past and they both had that emptiness in their eyes. Only that I was surprised on how he acted with her children and especially when Julia grabbed his hand when they were headed out to the swimming pool. Then there was Blade, big bad Blade and his anger towards all women. I hate when men categorize all women under as lying and manipulative but not all women are like that. He needs to realize that she is not his ex-wife and she doesn’t have alternative motives. Then there are the twins, Asher and Avery, and what can I say about them but I fell in love with them from the moment that they were in the pool with Cora’s children, Julia and Liam. I know they were playboys that made it known that when they were with a woman it was sex with no strings attached but it was different with Cora. Then there is Cason was a deputy and he was one of the first one’s that I think fell in love with Cora. He found himself looking at her at a distance but also he was the one that told her he wanted to be her friend. He knew that if she came into their unit she could be the one, the one meant for him and his team and even the big bad commander. Everything changed for Cora and her men the night of the surprise birthday party for Blade. I could not believe the direction that the men’s thoughts went to when Cora was acting secretly how could they when they could see she was so shy. But the words that Blade told her shattered her and that caused a huge panic attacked that sent Blade to grovel but he needed to do more groveling. He hurt her and labeled her as a mission and assignment and what made it worse was that she told her about them seeking to be her guardian with the exception of him. The passion between Cora and her men is passionate and explosive. Cora has to open her heart as well as the men but I was more concerned about her. I know I’m being unfair but she was a woman that lost everything to a monster and she had one thing left. There was one scene in which I interpreted that if she did give the one thing that had not been brutalized and they left her she would be worthless. Only that first night they loved her and showed her how it was to be loved and treasured. All she asked was for them to be patient with her. Like in almost every story especially when dealing with a monster that is still on the run they always come back to finish the job. Anthony wanted what was his and he was not going to stop until he got her back. Healing Souls was one of those reads that left me breathless and at the end with tears in my eyes. I loved at Arabella wanted the best for her sister. She needed to let her go and see her take her life and do what she needed to do. I know that she wanted to be there for her but if she was going to fall she needed to pick herself up and move on. This story was well written and very descriptive which I love. I love getting lost in the story and love when I can connect with the characters. Their love is what helped them conquer the devastation that was coming. This is a book that I couldn’t put down. I know that this story was not all about fun and laughs but about how love can do powerful things and if you can open your heart just a little bit it has a chance at healing. That one person could mean the happily ever after you never thought you had a right to. The perfect ending the kids got the best Christmas gift ever!!!

Wow!! This is one of the best books yet. I love how all the guys were hurt in some way but especially Blade and Beau. Blade resisted so hard until he finally realized how bad he had hurt her and then things began to change. They all worked together to help her and in turn, she helped them. Now I can't wait for the next book in this series. There are lots of other men who need to find their woman!!!! Good job Dixie!

Wonderful read. The story line was new and catchy. I loved how each man showed his love and affection to Arabella, I loved their different personalities. This is the first book I have read with so many main characters but it was perfect, a beautiful book.

I absolutely loved how this story turned out.

Good but a little too overloaded with stalkers. The heroine essentially had 3 which... eh, was a bit of overkill IMO. I liked the book, but didn't feel as connected to Gia as I have with heroines that appear in later installments of the series (I did not read the series in order). She was fine, but I was more drawn to the heroes, especially Mac.

Dixie never fails to get my motor going with her books about strong women and the men who love her.

Dixie did a fantastic job by crossing over the 2 series. This story was such a heartfelt one that had me shedding tears. I loved Arabella scared but also strong for her family. I loved how Smith, Rex, Reno, and Brock immediately took over her and her family's care. Great characters, a town full of wonderful people, and an amazing storyline. You won't want to miss this one. Looking forward to reading more from the lovely and talented Dixie and the Town of Pearl.

Thank you! Again you have put out a remarkable book. Loved going back to Pearl. I dont miss a book you put out but each of them always has a small part I remember from reading them and this one will be where Rocky has a steak for her, brought tears to my eyes to think of how she has struggled. Looking forward to more and fast please, I know not to much stress on you. You will not regret buying this book, you dont have to read previous series from the town of Pearl to be caught up, but really who doesnt want to read a Dixie Lynn Dwyer book.

Family is everything and when one’s family is in danger your own self is left behind, the only person that matter is them. But then something amazing happens four can you believe four men make her see that she can trust them, that she can lean on them and they will protect her and her family. Did I like Invasion of Hearts well actually I didn’t I totally loved this book and I can’t wait to see what else Ms. Dwyer has up her sleeves for the next installment. The storyline was intriguing, the characters were amazing and I was so in tune with the characters and their emotions. I do have to say that I was a little frustrated with the heroine because she couldn’t see that the townspeople of Pearl were there to help her and her family. But then again she had been the bread winner of the family for a very long time but it became even worse after they went on the run. I know that her sister’s so called boyfriend helped them but that came with a price. Then they came to Second Chance and things changed for not only her but also her family but she just needed to open up her heart and see that these people are sincere, trustworthy and the four men loved her dearly. Arabella Hopkins had a degree as a chef and she made pretty well for herself and her family. She had also taken the exam to be a police officer and she passed with flying colors. There was only one problem and that was Anthony Perrone her sister’s boyfriend her niece and nephew’s father and what he did. He was an ex-police officer but not only that he was also Special Forces. Her sister, Cora, was not tough enough to stand up to him but not because she wanted to do his dirty work but because he beat her badly. Arabella and her mother hated to see him hit her but if they got in Cora would get it worse. Cora had a hard pregnancy and her labor was worse she was very weak and Arabella had enough of Anthony hitting Cora so she went on the job for her. Things got out of control and something bad happened but that was not the worst. When she got back home Kever, ex narcotic division and Special Forces, was a evil, evil monster that wanted Arabella and he swore that she was his woman and that no other man would ever touch her and he left her a mark that when she would see it she would remember who she belonged to. Arabella’s story is so sad, I could not believe everything that she went through not only right before they fled but even when they left. They were on the run for 3 years and she was getting thinner and thinner as the days went by. She needed for her family to be safe. Brock Reynolds, Smith Spencer, Rex O’Rourke and Reno Davis owned Liberty Construction and Development. They were all retired military men and now they were making a life in Pearl. When they were invited to their cousins wedding they decided that they were going to not only share a woman but put down roots in Pearl. Brock was the leader and I could tell that he was the alpha male but Smith was not very far behind and I knew that there was something going on with him. When they go out to Rocky’s its Smith that is entrapped with Arabella, Bella, and he knows that she is the one. When they touch hands it’s like something happens and he knows that the other guys need to meet her. She is a little skittish and they know that they are going to have to go very slow with her if they want her as their woman. The first thing they need for her to understand is that she is running away from someone she can trust them but also she can trust the townspeople in Pearl. They need to get her to stay in Second Chance and see that they are safe, that her sister can get help; her mother can see a doctor and the kids can feel safe and play with other children. Then they need to make her see that she can trust them, that she will be safe with them and that they can protect her. Only they never thought that the two people that she was running from were Special Forces but also that something very, very bad was done to her. Can they really keep her safe from two psychopaths? Will she be able to give them her heart and trust these four hunks? Invasion of Hearts was a very well written story and I couldn’t put it down. I needed to know that she was finally going to trust the people of Pearl. The amount of emotions this story had was unbelievable. Oh and how can I forget that it was extremely sexy as soon as she was not able to deny them her everything. I loved seeing Arabella growing and becoming more confident in herself, she was very vulnerable in the beginning of the story but that all changed by the end. I didn’t only see her grow confident of herself but also Cora and how she wanted to help her sister in seeing that she had the right to live her life. What can I say about the men, they were wonderful, patient and I have to say scrumptious. This was an exceptional read and I totally recommend it.

I have read all of this author's books and I love her writing. The storyline was great and kept you reading. However, I felt the end of the book was rushed and just thrown in to finish the plot.
