After I finished Room for You, I jumped straight into Room for More. It was just as sweet and swoony as Room for You. There was a bit more angst, but that didn't bother me. I still adored the story.
If you've read the first book, you know at the very end, Zach comes back into the picture. Kacie and Brody have to figure out how to navigate their relationship with these new obstacles. On top of that, Brody has something going on in his family life. It's not an easy time for their relationship, but true love can always make it through... right?
I love Brody and Kacie together. I love their Twinkies so much and I loved how the story turned out. Once again, I listened to the audio version of the book and zoomed through it in a matter of two days. I'm jumping into the third book now, then going straight into Viper's book! I'm enjoying these books so much!

"You are my future, Kacie. You're my present and my future and if I could figure out a way to invent a damn time machine, you'd be my past."

SQUEEEEEEEE!!!! I loved this book!!
This was the perfect follow-up to Room For You. If you are new to the series though, be sure to read this after that one though because it directly continues the story of Brody and Kacie's romance.
I described the first book as "a sweet, swoony, heart-melting, romance, perfectly balanced with just enough angst to keep me on my toes" and I felt exactly the same way about this book. It completed Brody and Kacie's story beautifully and I am so happy to now call this one of my favorite series!
As a quick recap, Brody is a famous hockey player who meets Kacie, a single mom with two adorable little twin girls, by chance and falls for her and her daughters, who he affectionately calls his Twinkies ;) In this book we saw a continuation of their story as the summer came to an end and Brody's hockey responsibilities began starting up again while Kacie was dealing with a complication from her past that showed up in her life... Nonetheless, they were both committed to making their new relationship work no matter what might come their way and in Room For More we got to watch them figured it all out together.
I really love this author's writing. There's a fluidity to it that just lets you get lost in the story. And, as with the first book, this one was told in alternating POVs giving us both sides of the story. Since I loved both Brody and Kacie, I was so happy to be able to see each of their perspectives on the romance.
Ohhh Brody.... If it was possibly to fall even more in love with him, I did in this book. His love for and commitment to these three girls just never stopped amazing me. There's something about a guy who treats the children of the woman he loves as his own that is just so incredibly heart melting and powerful!!
"You have two very smart little girls… They see us hugging. They've seen me kiss you. They're not stupid; they know what's going on."
"I know and I'm ok with that. I'm just worried about them getting too attached… Me too."
"Kacie, get attached. Please, get attached. I sure as hell know I am. You're what I want. You and the girls. This is it for me."
And every single time he called her little girls his Twinkies, I swooned. Hard. Seriously, that has to be the cutest nickname in the history of nicknames!!! Just wait til you hear him say "Night, Twinkies!" <--- *thud*
Now, I don't want to say anything specific here because I don't want to give anything away but there were some complications from Kacie's past that came into play in this story and I'll just say that I was fully expecting to feel a certain way about them and found myself pleasantly surprised that my earlier assumptions had been wrong. And even though it was certainly stressful at times, I really felt like it was real. It was a situation and reaction that I could totally see playing out the same way in real life and in the end, the way it all came together brought happy tears to my eyes.
I really just loved seeing them all figure out their place in each other's lives. It was heartwarming to an extreme and the absolutely beautiful ending left me with the happiest feeling you can imagine.
About the series in general, I have to say that this truly is the kind of story that I think a lot of people will just fall in love with. It has realistic drama, great writing, loveable characters, and a romance that'll sweep you away and being a smile to your face over and over again.
I'm now a huge fan of this author and she's planning books for Viper and a few other side characters next! personally I can't wait for them!! They're all auto-buys for me!
If you haven't picked up this 2-book series yet, start now and fall in love with Brody Murphy!! If you're looking for a gorgeous, heartfelt, swoon-filled romance, this is it!!!
Series rating: 5 stars!

Oh Brody...how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. TWINKIES! Is there anything hotter than a man who loves two little girls who aren't his?? This book was a perfect follow-up to Room for You. It was sweet, hot, made my heart beat fast and my black soul shed a few tears. Beth Ehemann knows how to write fabulous romance with the perfect happy ending. I can't wait to see what she does next. BRAVO!

FOUR AND HALF STARS
Oooooh, this one had more angst in it which I LOVED!!! ♥
Room for More picks up where the epilogue in book one left off. Brody is back in season and it’s his contract year. The pressure is on him because he’s no spring chicken anymore.
Kacie is working at the hospital along with doing her mom duties. Her past has resurfaced and is complicating her future.
I was excited for the angst in this book because it made the couple fight for their relationship. When their summer romance turned into more it had a "real" life feel to it because of all the turmoil that came along with being together.
Brody had me swooning over his thoughtfulness. His timing was spot on and he knew just the right thing to say to melt your heart.
Cranberry Inn is a great two-part series that leaves you smiling when you get to the end. I’m looking forward to reading more books by Ms. Ehemann. She has a great career ahead of her.

4,5 “More” Stars.
This second installment starts right after the end of the first. If you read it you know what I’m talking about.
Kacie and Brody finally put their differences aside and are decided to be happy together with the Twinkies.
But when the past comes back to haunt their present, the future suddenly starts to feel unsure. How can they move forward, when something keeps setting them back? And how do they know when is time to fight and time to end the game?
Rating: 4,5 Stars.
Storyline: This was more emotional than the first, but beautiful anyway. This is probably one of my favorite series this year. Yes, it’s predictable and the plot isn’t completely original but it’s addictive, sweet and will leave wanting more and more.
Writing Style: Dual POV. Pretty well written, addictive and with some really funny remarks.
Character Development: Now it isn’t a probability anymore: Brody is definitely my #1 book-boyfriend. He’s just damn perfect. Kacie was hard for me to like in this book. That’s the reason I didn’t give 5 stars. I didn’t understand why she did several things and most of the time I was thinking “Why in the hell would you do that??!”. She redeemed herself, but unfortunately, too late. The twins were adorable, as ever. And Viper, I so want a book about him!!!
Steam: Pretty hot moments.

Room For More starts almost immediately after Room For You ends.
Kacie is still dealing with the shock of having seen Zach after five years of no contact.
Over the next few days Zach is more in the picture. He actually wants to get to know the twins. Zach has reasons for his absence and Kacie has a lot to think about and she is also unsure of how to tell Brody.
Just from a reader's perspective it is never good to withhold information in a book. I was terrified of the blow out, because I knew it was going to happen. And when it happened it was HUGE. I felt so bad for Brody.
Brody will have to decide if his feelings for Kacie are enough and if he can trust her again.
What can I say about this book.
I went in very worried about where Brody will stand after Zach was back in the picture. I fell in ♥ with Brody many times over Room For You but after reading Room for More , I was swooning.
I guess if I were an author I'll be worried about my second book being good. Well, let me tell you, Beth doesn't need to worry about it at ALL.
The book was everything I expected and more.
I expected to hate Zach- I didn't.
I was expecting to be mad at Kacie- I wasn't.
I was expecting Brody to have new girl or old flame interfered. It didn't happened the way I thought it would. I love that Kacie had helped standing up to a mean girl this time.
I was not expecting Viper to be the one who gave the best advise. But he was.
Things that I liked:
B. R. O. D. Y.
The Twinkies (Lucy and Piper)- they were even better this time around.
Viper - he made me laugh and when Brody's mom scold him, it was super cute the way he was blushing.
There are so many great lines in this book. Some of my favorites:
"Kacie, get attached. Please, get attached. I sure as hell know I am. You're what I want. You and the girls. This is it for me." I brushed a fresh tear from her cheek. "I know we're taking our time, especially where the girls are concerned, but you're my more, remember?"
"You're my more too."
"I haven't brushed yet."
"I'll take my chances," he said, gently pulling my hands away from my mouth. "Pay the toll, stinky."
"You're a good man, Brody."
"It's my mom's fault."
"What my Twinkies want, my Twinkies get."
"You are my future, Kacie. You're my present and my future and if I could figure out a way to invent a damn time machine, you'd be my past."
"You two are like Dumb and Dumber on ice skates."
"I have the sexiest, sweetest, most amazing boyfriend on the planet who's not afraid to kick his ass if he gets out of line."
"Pinkie swear?" Piper asked quietly, holding her tiny pinky finger in the air.
"How about we change it to Twinkie swear?"
I really can't wait for Beth's next book. I'm guessing it is Viper's turn but I think Andy needs his own HEA too. Too bad Brody's sister already got a fiancee, because I would have liked to read her story. She probably has funny things she can tell us since she is a wedding planner.

MrsLeif's Two Fangs About It
October 8, 2019
There is just something so enchanting about this series. Brody and Kacie, along with the twinkies, warm my heart every time. Beth Ehemann has a knack for writing realistic relationships with realistic problems. Brody is the perfect significant other, and Kacie is the strongest protagonist I have been introduced too in a while. I just found out that Brody's friends, Andy and Viper, have their own books and I am beyond ecstatic!
This book had a little bit more turmoil and emotions than the first. However, it wasn't overly angsty or dramatic. Someone returns, suddenly, back into Kacie's life and she is struggling to tell the twinkies and Brody. If you have read the first book, than you know who I am referring too! Ehemann executed it perfectly, so there was no aggravating moment where you would want to strangle fictional characters.
I really can't recommend this series enough. It is a perfect novel to squeeze between some dark, egdy romances. The humor and love will sweep you away. Just take the plunge and read it!
4 stars!

4,25 Twinkies stars!
Really great sequel to "Room for You". I adored Brody in this instalment and couldn't get enough of the twins. I also really appreciated Kacie's maturity when dealing with her past. The only thing that didn't work for me (it never does) was Kacie taking so long to tell Brody about what was happening. It's kind of a pet peeves of mine. Even though I totally understood why she acted the way she did, it always bothers me when one of the MC doesn't talk to the other one about something going on in their lives.
This book had a bit more angst, something I'm not a big fan of. Honestly, It disturbed me not knowing exactly whether they were together or not during their separation period. On the one hand, I was siding with Brody, but I always prefer when characters comunicate and try to solve things instead of distancing from each other and "take some time to think".
Anyway, I really liked the ending, even though a certain character got lots more chances than I would have granted him. All in all, it was sweet and very human. It surprised me. I'd envisioned a very different ending, not for our main characters, but for that certain someone.
Now a little bit of swoony sugar to end this review:
Ovaries. Go. Boom.

["...]Do you ever want to be a stay-at-home mom?”
“I don’t know. After him, I swore to myself that I would never depend on a man again. It was embarrassing to move back home and rely on my mom to feed and take care of us.”
“What about when we have kids?”
I spun to face him, nearly dropping the eggs that were in my hand. “What?”
“Down the road, when there are dozens of little Brodys running around the house, do you want to be home with us?”
“Dozens of little Brodys?” I chuckled.
“Why not?” He grinned.
“Uh, I can think of a few reasons. My poor uterus for one.” I poked him in the chest.
“Okay, fine. Not a dozen, but at least like… six.” He wiggled his eyebrows. “After that, we can just practice—a lot.”
“I’m definitely down for the practicing.” I batted my eyes at him. “And what do you mean at home with us? You’ll be traveling most of the time.”
“Yeah, but not forever. Eventually I’ll retire and do the full-time dad thing.”
Crossing my arms over my chest, I cocked my head to the side and looked at him skeptically. “Since when does staying home with kids all day interest you?”
He looked over at the girls, who were watching a movie in the living room, and shrugged. “Since them.”
Ovaries. Go. Boom.

Room for More is more than more.
Room for More is the highly anticipated sequel to Room for You, the book that left us dangling from that proverbial cliff with the reappearance of the “angelf*cker”, Zach. But even with the unknown that now loomed ahead, I still felt all warm and fuzzy for Brody (sa-woon) Murphy and Kacie (don’t you wish she was your best friend) Jensen. And who could forget those adorable Twinkies?! And Fred!!!
Beth Ehemann has proved in her second novel that she continues to be the triple threat of Contemporary Romance. She had me laughing (the LOL kind), crying (multiple tissues required) and swooning (gasp, sigh, hand over heart), and never breaking her stride from one chapter to the next. But did I mention my head was spinning and my heart was aching? You know that burning feeling you get in your gut when your stomach drops and your heart stops? Yup, Beth makes us work for this one. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, she surprised me at each turn making the journey to a HEA for Brody and Kacie never dull and certainly never predictable. I officially crown her “Queen of the Blindside”.
Returning in full force is the amazing cast of characters that we fell in love with in Room for You with the addition of a new stand out that will leave a lasting impression. Between the testosterone filled locker room banter with Viper and the bromance between Brody and Andy, the guys are back in full force. There is no less supportive motherly advice from Brody and Kacie’s Moms as well as the amazing steadfast sisterly love between Kacie and her BFF’s, Lauren and Alexa. The attachment I already felt towards these characters has now been further cemented to my heart and I pray Beth gives us more. I miss them already.
As for the ending, it is nothing short of spectacular with flawless execution that left me oh so satisfied, my heart full and a huge smile on my face (and I may have hugged my Kindle too). Sigh.

One word…. BRODY
After reading Room For You by Beth Ehermann I fell hard for him. He is beyond one of the most amazing book men EVER and Room For You is a wonderful book with an adorable story. The book ended with a major cliff hanger and it left me wanting… no scratch that. It left me needing more.
My Casting:
Room For More picks up exactly where book one left off. Kacie & Brody are together and happy and totally in love! I mean how can you not be in love with Brody? Kacie has started a job at a hospital and that is when she sees her ex boyfriend who left her six years ago with newborn twins. It’s the first time she has seen or heard from Zach since he left her and their girls.
As much as I love Brody… (and you know I do!). I was actually more interested in the Kacie/Zach storyline. I loved reading all the scenes of Zach trying to talk to Kacie and how conflicted she felt about the whole situation. We all know how in love Brody and Kacie are so it was refreshing to add a new storyline to book number 2 in the series.
What I really appreciated about Room For More is the book is not over the top lovey-dovey. It held on it’s on as a good story with great characters. I love Brody but I also really love Kacie and her adorable girls!! I am excited to read what is next for one of my favorite book couples.
I give Room For More (Cranberry Inn #2) 4 Stars.

Another 3 star rating for this one.
In the same predictable pattern as the first book, the story takes a new turn Kacie’s reaction is to put her head in the sand and will the problem away. She refuses to come clean to Brody, despite her mother and friend’s advice until everything comes crashing down on top of her.
Brody is living in heaven, having found a family he wants to be a part of for the rest of his life. I liked that he kept calling her "more" in his texts and intimate momments because she was the "more" in his life. Until a crisis in his own family occurs. From then on, and especially after he finds out what’s Kacie been keeping secret from him, is a downward spiraling for Brody, with aggressive behavior on ice, fighting, suspension and even a night in jail.
Of course since Kacie’s hit rock bottom in her relationship with Brody and him ignoring her and her attempts of reaching out to him, she finally puts on her big girl pants and declares her undying love for him.
”I need you, Brody. I would give everything in my life, with the exception of Lucy and Piper, to have you by my side – forever. I don’t care about money or celebrity status or any of that crap. I just need you. If you get traded, I’ll move tomorrow. If you get hurt and can’t play anymore, I’ll work two jobs to support us.”

Room For More gave me that more I needed from Kacie, Brody and the rest of the gang. It picked up right where Room For You ended and the pace of the story was great. I really enjoyed the progression of the story which was mainly about Kacie and Brody's relationship but also the return of Kacie's ex Zach. It caused some conflict between Kacie and Brody but they way it was handled was mature and only proved why Brody was the right and perfect man for Kacie. Her two daughters Lucy and Piper were cute and provided some great laughs along the way.
Brody's team mate Viper was funny and definitely and intriguing character that I can't wait know more about.
The epilogue was incredible and a beautiful swoon worthy moment. The Cranberry Inn series is wonderful romance that gives me exactly what I need and expect from a story.

Alright...
Let's roll up our sleeves and work on this shit
So...you see me reviewing this as a 2 for 1, eh? Well, that's how much I liked these books. At the end of Room For You, you're left with a "what the hell???" sort of feeling going on, yes? Now, I was obviously impressed with the author's first book, but the second book just set her on another level.
The ice cubes in the glasses popped and cracked as JoAnn poured the tea over them.
I mean, can't you just hear the ice cubes as she pours the tea over them?? It's rare that I actually feel I'm with the characters or that I can smell something going on...but the author does that. I was there, on the farm with them. Without a doubt.
As with the first book, there are so many fantastic scenes in this book that have you laughing, crying and just downright uncomfortable in some situations. When we left Brody and Kacie last, Kacie saw HIM. The Twinkies father. Now, we knew there'd be dramz in this book, fo sho. The author did NOT disappoint. I went from "awww"ing and having tears of joy to wanting to cut a bitch all within one page!
Now, I really am not going to go into too much detail with my review because well, this is one wild ride you need to take for yourself. I DO want to share one little part that had me laughing out loud at my daughter's gymnastics class. What parent can't relate to this?
She tried not to giggle as she apologized again. "I really am sorry. Do you have blue balls?" "No. I have navy blue balls." I groaned uncomfortably. "Feels like I got kicked in my junk. Have you ever heard of anyone dying from this before? If not, I might be the first." "Mommy, Miss JoAnn said it's time for lunch," Piper hollered. "Okay, baby. We're coming." She chuckled and threw her hand over her mouth, realizing what she'd just said. "We were about to," I growled at her as we walked toward the ladder."
I have to admit to reading this book in one day. That doesn't happen often anymore. BUT, the author totally carved a spot in my heart for Brody, Kacie, the Twinkies, and even Viper! I think I smiled the whole last chapter of this book. Just, do yourself a favor. Meet Brody, Kacie and the gang. You won't be disappointed.
Let's roll up our sleeves and work on this shit
So...you see me reviewing this as a 2 for 1, eh? Well, that's how much I liked these books. At the end of Room For You, you're left with a "what the hell???" sort of feeling going on, yes? Now, I was obviously impressed with the author's first book, but the second book just set her on another level.
The ice cubes in the glasses popped and cracked as JoAnn poured the tea over them.
I mean, can't you just hear the ice cubes as she pours the tea over them?? It's rare that I actually feel I'm with the characters or that I can smell something going on...but the author does that. I was there, on the farm with them. Without a doubt.

Beth Ehemann won me over in the first installment of her "Cranberry Inn Series." I absolutely fell in love with Brody, "More" and the "Twinkies." Of course, it doesn't hurt any that I'm a sucker for a sports-themed romance and Brody just happens to be a red-hot hockey goalie.
Ah, but this author didn't let the momentum slide. Book Two picks up where readers were left with a whopper cliffhanger. The story continues on in what I can only describe as one of those all-around treasures that a reader finds once in awhile when they need it most. It's a gem of a read -- one that will put a smile on any contemporary romance lover's face.
Well-written, fun-to-read, and highly recommended.

“You are my future, Kacie. You’re my present and my future, and if I could figure out a way to invent a damn time machine, you’d be my past.”
This was the second book in the story of Kacie, Brody and the Twinkies. I enjoyed the girls, but the story not as much.
The problem we left with at the end of the first wasn’t actually the worst, I kinda liked how that panned out. My issue was Kacie… girlie… she messed up. I was super anxious the whole time cause she didn’t say anything😭😭
Now Brody REALLY went off the rails, I guess that’s what happens when someone doesn’t really go through adversity early in their life. But damn, my boy kept surprising me with how much he did lol. But beside that, he was a gem. He is so dreamy and so good to Kacie AND THE GIRLS!!!🥺💗💗 he deserved to be their daddy. And Kacie pissed me off a bit about how she explained in to the girls But I’m not a mom so maybe I’m in the wrong.
My other issue was Alexa lmao. Not because she kept pushing Kacie to tell, cause she really needed to, but how she kept saying she didn’t want kids and the author ended up knocking her up after Kacie said she WOULD change her mind. Umm… couples can be happy without children… that made me uncomfortable.
But this was sweet, I read it in one sitting (mostly because I was anxious over Kacie), but also because it was really easy to read. I like this world AND VIPER OMGGGG HE WAS AWESOMEEEE as a friend, as a lover??? uhhhhhhh not really, but he was he star in this book, he was my fave.
“He came out of the bathroom and I was fighting like four guys. I remember him yelling my name, asking who he should hit first. I didn’t answer, so he just started swinging.”
see??? this is a GOOD FRIEND. So yeah, I’ll leave you with this quote from Brody’s mom that I liked:
“People stand in front of an officiant and say ‘I do’, but that shouldn’t mean ‘I’m done’ when it comes to putting time and effort to grow their relationship.”
“You are my future, Kacie. You’re my present and my future, and if I could figure out a way to invent a damn time machine, you’d be my past.”

So let's make this perfectly clear...Brody Murphy is my book boyfriend!! How can you not fall in love with this guy. So impossibly thoughtful, sweet, gorgeous, talented, and loving. He's the perfect guy. I really love this book and I'm happy that Kacie and Brody found their happy ending. I was worried that Zach was really going to make things impossible for them but he ends up being an alright guy in the end. I've seen that Beth is working on Viper's story and THAT is gonna be fun! If you haven't read this series yet..you gotta! It's so good, like a rich warm cup of hot chocolate.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun, swoony, and heartwarming - 4 stars! Who does not love a single hockey goalie turned boyfriend and Dad!! This follow up picks up right where book 1 left off ~ with quite a new revelation in Kacie’s life. This series is just what I needed right now, a nice change of pace from the angsty, crazy, new adult stuff I love to read. This is more traditional, very family oriented, more day to day and I loved it all! Such a sweet mix!!! I am looking forward to the novella - which I am thinking must involve a wedding?!?!

This is such a cute and sweet series!! I've really enjoyed it!

I couldn't love this series more! I'm completely addicted! As soon as I finished Room For You, I had to immediately download this book.
Room For More is book #2 of the Cranberry Inn series and is a continuation of Kacie & Brody's story from Room For You.
“You really liked your View-Master, huh? On a scale from one to finding a run-down barn, how excited does this make you?”
The audiobook of this series is just perfect! Great narration!
I love Kacie and Brody, the 'Twinkies' and the rest of these amazing characters! I'm ready to "Pay the toll"

5 swoon-tastic stars!
After falling in love with Kacie and Brody’s story in Room for You, I have been saving this follow up book for a time when I needed it. That time was last night. And from the moment I picked it up, the feels from the first book all came rushing back, and I lost myself in the beauty of Kacie and Brody’s romance all over again. My ‘I’ll just read a couple of chapters’ ended up with me finishing the book at 2.15 this morning, unable to put it down. Full of swoony declarations, heart-warming family time with Kacie's twin girls, flirty banter, fun teasing, a nice amount of steam and the brilliant inner monologue of both Kacie and Brody, this book is an absolute gem!
The story picks up just after the ending of Room For You. Kacie and Brody are still very much in love, with him making frequent visits from the city to her family’s small-town inn to spend time with his girls as they settle into their relationship and the practicalities of family life.
Oh swoon!
But there is drama brewing!!! Kacie’s past comes screeching into her present when an unexpected meeting forces her to face her past in a way she never wanted to again, and in a way that will bring big changes to her family. And meanwhile, Brody’s life gets busy when hockey season starts up again, taking him away from his beloved girls. And with his contract up at the end of the year, the pressure is on to perform with the possibility of a trade dangling over his head.
But through it all, the connection between the two of them remains strong. Kacie is there for Brody, supporting him and unhesitatingly giving all of herself to him, with lots of those beautifully happy little moments that sappy romance readers like me crave. And for Brody, Kacie and his “twinkies” are where his heart is at, and he makes that clear with everything he says and does. Seriously, the man is perfect! So open, caring and affectionate, and so absolutely proud to be a love-sick fool.
Swoon again!
Yes, there is a little bit of angst in the mix, and both Kacie and Brody make mistakes as they struggle with all that is going on. But it is nothing insurmountable, and they never lose site of their feelings for each other or the future they want to build together, and they both put in the effort to make it work.
I loved that we got to catch up with Kacie and Brody’s friends (developments for Andy had me cheering) and I am so excited by the news that Viper is getting a book. OMG, I can’t WAIT for that! He is so irreverent, hilariously slutty and anti-relationship. Watching him fall is going to be an absolute treat, especially after this little insight…
I loved this book! It’s sweet, it’s emotional, and it’s an absolutely beautiful love story. I honestly loved every moment of it and was left grinning like a fool and hugging my kindle. I can’t wait for more in the follow up novella – Room for Just a Little Bit More.
5 stars.

“I’m just worried about them getting too attached.” Her head was facing down, but she peeked up at me with her huge green eyes. “Me too.”
“Kacie, get attached. Please, get attached . I sure as hell know I am. You’re what I want. You and the girls. This is it for me.”

>MICHELLE'S REVIEW
I cannot even tell you how impatient I was waiting for this book. And how excited I was to read it.
I might have read it in one 2 hour sitting....
In my defense, Beth gives us Room For You which is sweet and perfect and has Brody - who is EVERYTHING. And you're going along in that book thinking everything is going to end perfectly and then she hits you with this CRAZY ending. And then we wait FOREVER for Room For More to find out what happens?!?!
But was it worth the wait? Hell. Yes.
You have to read Room For You first because this book is not a standalone. So if you have not read the first book, while this review is spoiler free, it will contain spoilers for you. So don't keep reading UNLESS you already read Room for You.
Room for More picks up right where we left off. Kacie has run into her ex-boyfriend Zach who left her and the Twinkies high and dry because he sucks at life. Ok- well actually we find out there's a little more to that, but still. I think are two groups forming- ones that feel sorry for Zach and ones that still just don't really care. I am in the second group. I mean it turns out Zach had some major demons to contend with and I get that- but you know what, MAN UP!
Now let's focus on what is really important. Brody. Brody. Brody. He is perfection. Seriously. The man can do no wrong. He is the sweetest boyfriend in the universe. Is there any woman that would not fall completely in love with a man that loves not only a woman, but her two adorable daughters??? I mean as far as Brody is concerned- those are HIS girls. If you thought you loved Brody in Room for You, then there is no way to describe what you will feel for him after this book. I think mild obsession covers it.
Maybe the best part of this book for me was the one, the only- VIPER. God I love that dirty man and cannot WAIT for his book.
And finally, there is Kacie. I had a few issues with Kacie in book 1 and I continued to have some with her here. The thing is- I really like her. She's strong and smart and really likeable. She just does stupid things. All of the angst in this book (and there was A LOT) was a result of Kacie not stepping up and being 100% honest with Brody and it BROKE MY HEART. But she eventually gets it together so I am grateful for that. And luckily she has best friends to keep her in line and tell her when she's being stupid.
This book is definitely an HEA. There is a ton of angst and you will DIE waiting to get there- but you get there.
AND that ending. Perfection. If you weren't totally obsessed with Brody by the ending, you will be after you finish that because it is amazing.
Pick this book up. Now. You won't regret it!!

Didn't like this as much as the 1st one :( Brody was still awesome of course, but Kacie, sigh. I was worried about this based on the last book. She keeps a big ole secret for way too damn long, and it blows up in her face. Shocker, said no one, eva.
And where was the sex, dammit!?!? I was expecting a lil more nookie in this, oh well. If you liked the 1st one, you will like this too. It again just disappointed me when books continue to follow the predictable path of dumbass heroine antics.
Viper was tits, though. Perhaps a spinoff with him and Darla? You know those 2 will get way derrrty. Thas all folks.

Zach better not be getting together with Kacie and Kacie better not be even thinking of going down that road with Zach again. Brody is the best that can be for Kacie and the Twinkies. Can't wait to read this book.

***VIPERS BOOK WILL BE HERE SUNDAY!***
So, I'm still here, doin' my 5 star happy dance! 'Room for More' is the second in the Cranberry Inn series, and the follow-up to Room for You It is just as good, just as sweet, just as funny, and sexy, yet more intense than the first. Again, the writing is fluid and detailed and held my attention throughout the book. I finished this in one sitting!
This picks up where Room for You left off. And since it was a cliff hanger, I won't say much here, other than in order for their relationship to thrive and survive, Kacie and Brody have quite a bit of messed up crap to overcome. Again, the situations they face are real and life-like. It isn't far fetched to imagine anyone dealing with these situations. And I loved that about this book.
"You are my future, Kacie. You're my present and my future and if I could figure out a way to invent a damn time machine, you'd be my past."
Once again the characters were awesome! I'm still in love with Brody and the girls.
"Mommy, what's this?" Lucy ran up to her mom holding a condom.
***
"Have you ever eaten ribs, Lucy?" I asked. "You know how your hands get all messy and they give you those little wet towelettes to clean up with after? That's what that is."
***
"Ooooh, Okay." "I told you it wasn't candy, Piper."
But I have a girl crush on Darla! She's my crazy hero. And the way she sticks up for Kacie in her time of need was fabulous!
***I hope what I've read is true and that there will be other books to come out about the side characters. Because I really want to read about Viper and Darla. As well as a few others. I love Beth Ehemann and will read anything she puts out next!**
***UPDATE* OMG! OMG! VIPERS BOOK WILL BE HERE SUNDAY! SUNDAY PEOPLE!***
