Grady Romance #3

All the Right Choices

Rate this book
Kris:
I never thought that starting over would land me in small-town America— namely, Grady, Tennessee. But if it worked its magic on my sister, surely it could work for me too. The eye candy isn’t bad to look at either. Jared Mitchell is a single dad, owns his own construction business, and seems interested in everything but me. His daughter loves me so why is it so hard for him to let his guard down?
Jared:
The big city has never been for me. My daughter’s mom yearned for it, and look how awful that turned out. So when a new girl shows up to live at my brother’s ranch, I try to steer clear and keep my distance. She has big city written all over her, as well as other things I try to pretend that I don’t see. Like how charming and quick-witted she is, or the unlikely bond that I see forming between her and my daughter. I know that I should stay away but something about her is so hypnotizing that I fear I might fall down the rabbit hole. Again.

All the Right Choices by Stephanie Renee is a single-parent romance. This can be read as a standalone but is best read after reading the first two books in the series.

Jarred is a single dad to 12-year-old Macey. He’s had a complicated past with his ex which has put him off of relationships. Kris is a veterinarian who has just moved to Grady for a fresh start.

This book is spicy, streamy, and hot! Jarred has a flawed perception of anyone from a big city after what his ex did to him and this colors his first impression of Kris. He wrongfully assumes Kris is like his ex, but as soon as he lets her in he realizes she’s nothing like his ex. Kris is the sassy vet that sweet Jared needs and their chemistry is electric.

Not only does Kris make her place in Jarred’s heart, but Kris forms a beautiful relationship with Macey. I absolutely loved the realistic relationships Stephanie Renee has portrayed in All The RIght Choices.

The story, characters, and emotions are executed well in this romance. I thoroughly enjoyed this fun, heartwarming, country romance.

Rating: 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I didn't actually read the first 2 books, but now I definitely want to go back. This can definitely be read as a standalone (each book is a different couple), so I don't think I missed much.

Jared is a single dad to a very precocious 12 yo girl. Kris is a big city veterinarian looking for a fresh start in a small town. Can what starts as a clash of opposites and preconceived notions turns out to be a perfect fit? Or will the absentee mom throw a wrench into everything?

This is an enemies to lovers type romance between Kris and Jared. He's a single dad to 12 year old Macey and she's a veterinarian looking to start over in a small town. It's an opposites attract with all the feels. It's well written,moves fluidly and is a great read.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.

*Warning, this book is 60 chapters long*

“Aren’t single dads hot right now?” Jessie asks. “Isn’t there like a whole genre of books based on the whole single-dad thing?”

All the Right Choices by Stephanie Renee is the third book of the Grady Romance Series. The story follows single father Jared Mitchell and veterinarian Kris Grady. Jared has been burned before by his ex girlfriend and high school sweetheart who chose the city life over him and their daughter.

So when city girl Kris shows up to small town Grady, Tennessee (yes her last name is Grady and she moved to a town called Grady) to work at his brother’s ranch, Jared keeps his distance to prevent himself from getting burned again. When they first meet, they were both instantly attracted to one another but because of city girl stereotypes and Kris almost running Jared and his daughter Macey over with her motorcycle, things start off a bit rocky.

I had fun reading this book. I was really intrigued and engaged the first couple of chapters, after that…it was just simply okay.

The scenes between Jared and Kris can be hot and steamy but I felt like there was no real development within their relationship. I wasn’t really convinced of their love, if anything, I cringed a few times while reading some of the scenes. Kris mentions in the book “We put our pride aside and got to know each other.” But I felt like there was no “getting to know each other” It moved fast. There was attraction, then hate, then an intense makeout session after Kris helps fix Macey's ferret, then they have sex one time and Jared's ready to tell Macey about their relationship. Besides the lust and instant attraction, where was the real build up and connection for their relationship/romance?

“Oh lord, I think I’m falling in love with this woman—or at least in lust.”

At times I also felt like Macey was a bit too wise for a 10/12 year old. I don’t know any preteens who can spit out monologues like that in real life.

This is my first book of the author and despite of not feeling the main characters connection, I still enjoyed reading the book, all 60 chapters. I loved reading about the Mitchell family and I’m definitely intrigued by them so I think that I will give the rest of the series a try.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TRUSTING ME WITH THIS ARC. I LOVED IT.

Jarred is a single dad, doing a great job of raising a 12-year-old girl, but his past with her mom makes him resentful of big city women. When Kris, a big city veterinarian moves into his small town and crashes into his life, he sees his quiet world melt into ashes.
Their first impression is no good. They back talk and poke each other for some time, but they can’t hide their attraction, and that hooks you to the story to the very end.
Kris is an independent woman, who knows herself and what she wants from life. She takes challenges and goes for what she wants. Kris is not afraid to show her true self and what she wants in a relationship or in bed.
Jared is a simple guy with a heart as big and endearing as his family. A wonderful father who puts his daughter Macey above everything. The girl is closing into adolescence, and doubts fill his heart. Fear of not handling right, and his daughter ends up distancing herself from the tight relationship they have.
I loved to see Jared’s distinct sides, him as a father and as a man. How he quickly switches from one role to another in some passages, showing the difficulties of being a single, but dating dad. Jared’s also the kind of man who doesn’t shy away from giving his woman the world, and not losing himself in the process.
Once their walls crumble, the relationship between them flourishes and you are up for a wild, scorching, and fun time. Their time together is full of dirty talk and sassiness, extracting laughs from you and also living you up for some cold showers. You’ll bask a little in anger when Macey’s mom shows up to stir inferno in paradise.
Macey, is a smart preteen, who stitches the story together and makes it beautiful. No wonder she bonded with Kris so fast. They share some common traits which are vital for their relationship, as the three of them grow to be a tight little family.
It’s a wonderful read that will leave you gasping, hot and bothered, and in love. You’ll catch yourself cursing with Jared and his brothers, and wanting to strangle a neck. A must-read book if you like connecting with the characters and taking your emotions for a wild ride.
The book got me curious about the other two in the series, and they are already in my TBR list.

Is it getting hot in here or is it just me?????

In our lives we all make choices. And those choices can leave us with regret or be the best damn thing we have ever done....
In need of a new start and job, Kris makes the decision to move to the small town of Grady where her sister also lives.
While settling in to her new life she meets single dad Jared.
First impressions of each other..... hhhmmmm
First interaction with each other.... is it hate or foreplay?
While Jared is definitely not interested in going after a 'city girl', the chemistry between these two is absolutely combustible. And let me tell you once they both let down those walls and the spark between them ignites, hello STEAM and dirty talking cowboy.

Alongside all the Kindle melting steam, is a realistic and heart aching story of a young pre-teen girl trying to deal with parental relationships, and general life drama. I loved the little bond she started with Kris, and her relationship with her dad Jared is realistic, heartwarming, and imperfectly perfect.

I really enjoyed this heartwarming, slightly heart-aching, and oh so steamy story, that took me on a journey about family, love, friendships, trust, making choices, and fighting for those that you love.

5 Steamy Stars!!!

My Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

I loved this story so much - this is the first book I’ve had the chance to read from Stephanie and it want be the last because I need to read books 1&2 in this series to get to know these brothers more.

Jared is the single dad who’s not looking for a relationship at least right now he’s not. With an ex that flies in an out of there daughters life he doesn’t want to put Macey through the relationship of another woman that might let her down.

Kris may have moved to Grady for a change when all other options have went down the drain but little does she know she kinds exactly what she needs in this small town.

These two are a semi enemies to loves type situation yet Jared never really gave Kris a chance he just thought she was like his ex and expected that. Yet this woman is so far from her it’s night and day an he soon finds that out an the sparks fly as soon as these yep let there guard down.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun, down home country love story with a little bit of motorcycle riding free spirited female.

* I received this book as an arc for my honest review.

I enjoyed this story so much. I need to go back and read the other books in this series to catch up on the Mitchell brothers.

Kris moved to Grady, TN for a fresh start in all aspects of her life including being closer to her sister Andi who married Jonas Mitchell, older brother to Jared.

Jared Mitchell, single dad to 12 years old Macey. His ex, Macey’s mom, comes and goes in and out of their lives. With this, Jared hasn’t brought any women too deeply into his life.

When Kris arrives in town, Jared automatically has assumptions about her being a “city girl” exactly like his ex. However, as time goes on he realizes there is more to meets the eye when it involves Kris and vise verse for Kris with Jared.

Their sexual tension is beyond the charts but can they find a way to go beyond that and make it a lasting relationship ship for themselves and with Macey in mind??

Kris is such an incredible female heroine (riding motorcycles and listening to heavy metal, plus being a veterinarian). Jared is a smoking hot “cowboy” construction worker, single dad, and alpha male in the bedroom.

Slow burn? Pssht...this book doesn't know the meaning of those words and honestly i couldn't be happier about it. I love a good slow burn but sometimes a girl just needs her inner Kris satisfied and this book NAILED IT(ha!). The third book in the Grady Series focuses on Kirs(Andi's sister) and Jared a single dad to a sweet girl, Macey. This is-in my humble opinion- the hotest book in the series. Holy smokes, non-stop sexy times in this one! Kris and Jared were perfect together...a wild child veterinarian and a grounded single dad what a mix. The low drama of this book(of all three of her books) is one of my favorite things. Yeah, we have a little problem towards the end with Tonya(sp?) but it was resolved quick and respectfully buy all the people involved. We have a hint of enemies to lovers sprinkled in the mix and stirred to perfection to creat this book. Honestly, i will never not encourage people to pick this book up.

Jared and Kris are a cute couple. They start out pretty much hating each other based almost on principle lol and end up being so great together. I loved how Kris found herself again and Jared overcame his aversion to "city girls". As I've said all along with this series, Momma Annie is amazing and comes close to stealing the show. I think we might need a Momma Annie book. *wink wink* She is one of my most favorite side characters ever. I'm glad we got to see into Jonas and Andi and Jessie and Tracy's lives in this book too. These books all make you come away feeling good about the happy endings, and you won't regret reading any of them. Great series!

Jared is a single dad to 12 year old Macey and is a cowboy. Kris arrives at the ranch as the new vet, but has a motorcycle and hard rock vibe to her that surprises most people. Kris and Macey become tight friends before Jared gives her a chance and then the sparks fly. The characters are well done, with great interactions and intense feelings. The storyline has drama, surprises, twists, a long bus ride and steamy romance. Loved the tight families and friends that support and protect each other. Best times are the fathers and their daughters first date! The ending was great.

3,5/5 🌟

I kind of enjoyed it! It was fun!!
The characters weren’t dumb and it is one of those times when I actually enjoyed the FL a lot! The relationship wasn’t toxic and that’s a ++.
It was predictable and the end felt rushed. Also I didn’t feel much development as there was just too many rated scenes for such a short book.
Enjoyable if you want a quick and easy going read.

This was my first book of Stephanie's and I know I'll be going back to read the rest of the Grady Series. I loved Jared and Kris. Sweet, single dad who is used to getting walked all over and a sassy vet who doesn't let him get away with anything. The chemistry was on fire, the moments with his daughter were endearing and I found myself laughing. Excited to read more!

I love the Mitchell brothers and Jared grabbed my heart as much as the other 2! I loved that Kris was independent and knew what she wanted, yet she still held a special place in her heart for those she loved. Such a fun series, can’t wait for the next book!

Another book I desperately need in my shelves!

My heart is absolutely full after reading auch an amazing story! It’s the first one I read from this author and it makes me want to binge read her entire backlist.

Where do I start?

First, I love how even though this book contains major references to previous books, I didn’t need much to understand backstory. The entire family was so fun, I loved how close they all were and how beautiful they all got along. It was a beautiful setting and world building that made the story even more exciting.

Jared and Kriss are definitely one of the hottest couples I’ve ever read. Not kidding. I love smutty romances, but this one was an entire different level. It really was refreshing to see them enjoying one another and building this incredible bond through a healthy sexual relationship that explored many things and topics that are taboo nowadays. It only made the connection they had even stronger.

Jared was a dreamboat! He was just an amazing dad to Macy ane he deserved to be happy. I loved seeing him navigating an entire new parenting difficulties and how he allowed himself to trust Kriss and let her help. He was just such a great guy at heart and Kriss was exactly who he needed in his life after so much craziness with his ex.

Kriss was such a badass. I loved how right from the start she was putting herself and her dreams first. She lived her life unapologetically and wasn’t afraid to just be herself, even when she felt a little insecure. The way she bonded with Macy melted my heart and I loved how in the end she fell in love with Jared and Macy as a family.

They all were so good together. I loved all the moments they shared as a family and how strong the connection was between the three of them. It only made the romance and love between Kriss and Jared even stronger. The situations they had to go through and the difficulties they endured felt so real to me and got frustrated several times because I know from experience how difficult those can be.

Shout out to Macy, the real star of this show! What a badass, strong and sweet role model for little girls!

I swear this book made me feel all the feelings. I fluttered, swooned, sighed and got angry for all the right reasons. I’m considering skipping my entire TBR just to read the rest of the books in this series.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND READ IT!!

Many thanks to Stephanie Renee for gifting a copy of this book for an early review.

Stephanie writes a hot and steamy romance that leaves you needing a cold drink and a fan. All The Right Choices is a single parent, small town standalone, however, I would suggest reading the first two books to get a better background of the characters. The series follows the Mitchell brothers who are smart, single and handsome guys that you want to have as your book-boyfriends.

Jared is a single dad of a smart and beautiful ten year old, Macey, and is still hooking up with Macey's mom and his high school sweetheart, Tonya, when she is passing through town. Tonya got pregnant and didn't want Macey so Jared agreed to raise her on his own. He never had relationships because of Macey, so when Macey passes through town they hook up, the problem is that she doesn't want to see Macey. This breaks Macey's heart and has Jared seeing red. When his sister-in-law's. Andi, sister, Kris, comes to town to be the vet for Jonas and Andi, Jared immediately dislikes her because she is from a high city. Why, because that is where Tonya took off to live. When they first met it was hate at first sight for Jared. Macey likes her and talks seeks her out for some girl talk. As time goes by Jared starts to have feelings for Kris. Will the hate for the city girl outweigh the attraction he has? What happens when Macey and the family find out?

Kris has left the big city and her live-in boyfriend. She is working for her sister and her husband at their ranch as a vet. Kirs is a badass, beautiful and feisty woman that knows what she wants. She meets Jared and loves the looks of him but as soon as he opens his mouth it is game over. As time goes by she connects with Macey and finds out that Jared is an amazing single father and understands why he is the way he is. She decides to give him a chance and see where it goes. What will she do when Tonya shows up? Can she deal with a single dad of a teenager?

Stephanie has you riding a rollercoaster of emotions from love to anger to happiness. She had me yelling at Jared at times and at others I wanted to crawl into bed with him. Her writing is outstanding and a pleasure to read. This book and in fact the whole series is a must-read.
