The Oakville Series (Books 1 - 5) by
Kathy-Jo Reinhart
Genre: Romance
Six years ago, Amber fled her hometown
and family heartbroken and humiliated. Now, after walking in on her
fiancé holding another woman’s legs in the air and screaming her
name, Amber is headed back home to Oakville, ready for a fresh start
in the town she’s always loved.
Determined to get back to her life,
Amber gets a waitressing job at KC’s Bar & Grille. After a few
weeks of working there, she finally sets in to a happy routine with
help from her new friend, Holly. That is, until she meets KC, the
owner, her boss, and the man who just happens to be the reason she
left so many years ago. The man she never got over.
Enter Kyle. He’s sexy, charming, the
lead singer of a small town band, and owner of KC’s Bar &
Grille. When Amber left all those years ago, he became a shell of the
man he was. Broken, confused, and desperate, Kyle began his new life
where nothing mattered aside from music and women, sometimes more
than one at a time. Finally realizing that he hated the person he was
becoming, he moves back to Oakville with his band to focus on the
bar. Still playing a few small gigs here and there, Kyle and his band
return home after a month only to walk straight into Amber, the girl
who broke his heart and left without a word.
With a short, heated conversation
revealing that it was all just a misunderstanding, Kyle and Amber are
determined to start over again and let the past stay in the past.
This is the second chance neither of them dreamed they would get and
they aren’t going to waste it. Unfortunately, living in this small
town isn’t as safe as it would seem. With people determined to tear
them apart and old flings resurfacing, will Amber and Kyle be able to
hold onto their second chance? Or will it all slip through their
fingers?
Wow!! This book is awesome!
One of
my favorite books read!!
Amazing! I love the story and the
characters.
From the start up to the last, this book held my
interest all throughout!
The characters, Amber and Kyle are
easy to love and like.
I easily get attached to these
two.
I love the chemistry of the characters and the romance
build-up are easily felt.
The other characters are also
good.
Love them..

I'm
in love with the story!
The flow is also good.
The way
the story ended, I was like "What the"..
OMG!! I
can't believe that happened!!
I can't wait on what will
happen next to Amber and Kyle!
After six years of being apart, Amber
and Kyle finally found each other again, only to be ripped apart once
more by a force they couldn't control. After a tragic accident that
almost takes Amber's life, she's left in a hospital without any
memory. She doesn't know who she is, let alone the man that she
married and has loved since childhood.
When Amber finally wakes from her coma,
Kyle feels like he can breathe again. The hope that he has held onto
every day he has sat in the hospital with her has pulled through.
They can now push Beau behind them and finally get the happily ever
after they deserve. Only, Amber has no idea who he is.
Feeling his hope wither away once more,
Kyle sets out and makes it his personal duty to help her remember, or
make her fall in love with him again. After all, they have a
connection that can pull through anything, and will.
Is their love really enough to conquer
even the most difficult and life-altering situations?
Trust is lost, promises are broken, and
hearts are shattered.
Will Kyle and Amber be able to
withstand the changes ahead of them, or will it tear them apart for
good?
Remember Me is a total knock out
read!
I love this book!!
Remember Me is the second
book of the Oakville series, continuation of Kyle and Amber's
story..
**Note: You must read book 1 First Love to
understand the whole story.)
Anyway, I was hooked on this
book.
No dull moments and I was not disappointed on how
things went on this book.
After Amber woke up from a
coma, both characters will face the challenges that
will
test their love and trust with each other.
An unexpected
person will try to break them apart and will get what she or he
wanted.
The twist and turns of this book had me crying
on some parts and wants to punch the living daylights of some
characters.
All in all verdict, from book 1 up to 2....? is
5 Paw Marks!!!
Ms. Kathy-Jo did an amazing job in making the
series and the characters amazing!!
Holly Anders was abandoned by her
mother at birth. Growing up shuffled around from one foster home to
another, she never thought she’d be loved. When she married Ray
right out of high school, she thought she’d finally have the
perfect fairy tale life, but it quickly turned into her worst
nightmare.
Finally able to find the strength, she
runs as far and as fast as she can away from the nightmare, finding
herself in the small town of Oakville, where she begins her new life.
The last thing on Holly’s mind is dating or men. She’s not
anywhere close to being ready to trust another man. Sometimes she
wonders if she’ll ever be. She was damaged when she met Ray, but he
broke her — maybe forever.
Paul Walters spent his first sixteen
years fearing his father’s beatings, but taking them in order to
spare his mother from as much of the abuse as possible. When an
unspeakable tragedy strikes, he leaves his hometown and heads for Los
Angeles. Guilt and fear cause him to spend the next few years
drowning his sorrows in booze, drugs, and random women. He refuses to
allow himself to get close to anyone; the fear of becoming a monster
like his father keeping him from believing a relationship with a
woman is possible.
Things begin to change when Paul meets
Kyle and sees something in him that reminds him of himself. They
quickly become friends after forming a band with two other guys. Paul
realizes he’s missed being part of a family. Deciding they don’t
like the path they’re on, they leave L.A. for Kyle’s hometown of
Oakville. Paul is ready to start over, but he still vows never to
fall in love.
When Paul and Holly meet, the chemistry
is undeniable. Is it possible for two people to find the courage to
let someone in again after they’ve had their hearts and souls
shattered by those they loved and trusted most?
Protect Me, the 3rd book of the
Oakville series, is an AMAZING read!
Just like the first 2 books
in the series, this book gave me chills.
The characters and
the story are amazing and heart-stopping.
This book is about
Paul and Holly’s story.
In this book, I got to meet Paul
and Holly more, know them and fall in love with them.
The book
started where book 2 left off.
At first things are good but
an unexpected guest arrived that made things complicated.
The
one person Holly did not think she’ll ever see again.
As
the story goes, things get more complicated and Paul and Holly’s
relationship will be tested.
Ms. Kathy-Jo nailed it
again!!!
One of my favorite reads this year!
Can opposites really attract? Chelsie
Amell is a shy wholesome girl looking for the forever kind of love.
Angel Walker is a guilt ridden man whore who is not capable of love.
Both are wildly attracted to each other, but do everything in their
power to fight it.Will their pasts leave a barrier between them they
can't cross? Or will they climb it together and over come it all?
Redeem Me, book 4 of the Oakville
series, is Angel’s story. In this book, you’ll learn things about
Angel and the reason behind his reputation. What I love about this
book is that, it’s full of surprises and made me want to cry on
some parts. I fall in love with Angel in this book more. Despite his
reputation, he’s protective on the people he loves and who he holds
dear. There might be times that I want to kick Angel though. lol..But
I still love him. =)
Just like the other books in the
series, this book is filled with emotional scenes that will make you
love it more. Ms. Kathy-Jo freakin’ nailed it again!!!!!!!!!

again!!! From the start, I also started tearing up. Marcus and Taryn
are living happily but an unexpected event will tear them apart.
Then, when Marcus and Lexi met, things changed between the two. As
the story goes, it will go interesting and full of surprises. Still,
it gets me teary eyed on some parts - aside from the start. Truly
this book is full of unexpected things and I was hooked with it! Ms.
Kathy-Jo did it again!
After growing up in Saranac Lake, a
small town in upstate NY, Kathy-Jo Reinhart returned to her birth
place and where she spent her summers with her grandparents, St.
Petersburg, Florida, after graduating High School. The sub zero
climate and piles of snow definitely weren’t a loss, in her
opinion, and this is where she still resides with her Husband of
fifteen years and their eleven year old son, who they lovingly refer
to as their miracle baby. A name righteously earned after a very
difficult and scary pregnancy with 7 1/2 months on complete bed rest.
By day, she works as an Office Manager
for a construction company started by her grandfather and uncle. Like
most people, she has a love hate relationship with her job, but
cherishes all the years she was able to work side by side with her
grandfather before he passed away.
Writing has always been something that
she has loved. In school, creative writing was her favorite class.
Writing a book was something she had always wanted to do, but was too
afraid she didn't have what it took to make it happen. After going
from working sixty hours a week to twenty, she found herself with a
lot of extra time on her hands and decided it was time to take the
leap. Crossing her fingers and closing her eyes, she jumped into
creating the Oakville series and hasn’t looked back.
The first five star review she received
after First Love, the first book in the Oakville series, was
published, left her speechless, overwhelmed with emotion, and so
blown away that someone really liked what she had written. Her
initial fears seemed to calm and reassured her that others love her
writing just as much as she loves doing it. How it will all turn out,
still remains a mystery, but she’s having a blast seeing where
these characters will take her.
When she isn’t spending time with her
characters, she enjoys reading, spending time with her family,
scrapbooking, and doing ancestry research.
