My Review:

As always this author did not disappoint with this book. This is one of those books where your like ok I will read a few chapters then go to bed and before you know the book has only a few chapters left and you have to be up in a few hours but you are so sucked into the story you need to finish it. Throughout the whole book you think you know who did it and Poppy and Rhett feel they know who did it and then BAM!!! not what you thought. I loved Beth and her sisterDelilah I so want them to have there happily ever after and I am not sure if the author plans something but I am rooting for them. I really over all enjoyed this book put me on the edge of my seat and just enjoyed it so much I really liked the banter from Rhett and Poppy and Poppy and her brother Tack they made a tough situation in the book laughable at time and it just helps break up a little of the suspense. Overall this book is worth the read.

The Wedding Crasher and the Cowboy Robin Bielman

 

 Description:

Kennedy Martin is shocked when her ex calls days before his wedding, expressing serious second thoughts. Doesn’t he see his fiancée's actually the glaze to his doughnut? Now she’s got no choice but to crash his wedding and convince the man he’s with the right woman.

Instead, she crashes into the absolute last man she ever wanted to see: Maverick Owens, her old college nemesis. Maverick is still as awful, infuriating, and just The Worst as ever—even if he looks way too sexy in his cowboy hat. And of course he’s convinced she’s actually at the seaside ranch to ruin the wedding.

Now the only way to get some face time with the groom and save this marriage is to participate in all sorts of pre-wedding events…with Maverick. Stuck on a canoe, making small-talk at cocktail hour, and even a hoedown with her worst enemy? This just might be the longest week of her life…

My Review:

This is a new to me author so of course I wasn't sure what to expect. I will say the author did not disappoint I kind of feel invested in all these characters lives now. I loved Andrew he was the best friend/brother anyone truly could as for and with such an active role in this book I want him to have HIs happy ever after for sure. I liked Ava and Jenna their personalities seem to shine off the pages. With some of the things that Both Maverick and Kennedy reached faced I found this book more on the  emotional side of a rom-com. I felt like they were both stubborn and pig headed and they would push each others buttons which added to the laughter of it all. There is some adult situations in this book that may not be suitable for all readers. Over all I did enjoy this book it did drag in a few parts but when it was good it was really good and made up for it, such a fun read.  I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

“A captivating romance novel with a sexy cowboy making this perfect for anyone who loves a steamy romantic read.” - Fresh Fiction on My Favorite Cowboy

My Review:

So when I first started this book I did not know what to expect since I am not one to read the back/description of a book but judge a book by its cover. I will say I was not disappointed but if you are like me this book is not what it seems. It will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to the end and have you even holding your breath waiting to see what is going to happen next. I love Vic she has such a huge heart and I am not sure what the authors plans are for her but I hope we get to read her story. Carlos is also a great side character he truly had Dwight's best interest at heart and when it mattered most. Dwight and Emmy where fun to read about I felt for Emmy but her heart was in the right place and Dwight would stop at nothing to protect what was his. This book does has some adult situations in it so may not be suitable for all readers. Overall this book was a fun read and well worth it. I received a complimentary copy of this book.

Christmas Grace Mindy Steele

 

 Description:

Second chances and the Christmas spirit abound in Mindy Steele’s heartwarming novel, one of faith, love, and the power of community.

Grace Miller believed herself in love with the charming Englischer who eventually broke her heart. Now alone except for the secret life growing inside her, she arrives in the unfamiliar small village of Walnut Ridge, Kentucky, to hide and hopefully gain forgiveness.

She is pleasantly surprised, however, to find a tight-knit, welcoming group who help her heart grow right alongside her belly. And with the holidays around the corner, there’s plenty of preparations to occupy her mind. Also occupying her mind? Her strong, protective neighbor, Cullen Graber, the town’s blacksmith, who seems intent on not allowing her to ever suffer alone.

Cullen Graber gave up on love after too many losses early in life. He planned to live out his days focusing on his smithy business, yet the beautiful and mysterious Grace refuses to leave his thoughts. But can they open their hearts to God’s grace and create a new family together before Grace must return home?

My Review:

I really, really liked this book. I feel like Grace was so relatable and why not many face her situations I feel that as Christians we all at one point have wondered if we deserve the forgiveness God gives us. Grace while faced with a tough situation she took things in stride and you seem to "watch" her grow as the story went on. Cullen oh man I liked him to his heart was always in the right place to help those who needed help. He truly loved deeply and with the losses he faced he seem to not have a wall around his heart and he was open to what God gave him. This book is a clean read and I really felt like I was catching up with friends why reading it. I love Tess and you will need to read the book to find out why, because I would just give to much away about her. Overall I could not put this book down and this was a quick read and a really good book to me. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

 Description:

An Antique Store Becomes a Place of Healing for Broken Hearts
 
Welcome to Walnut Creek, Ohio, where Orley and Lois Troyer own an antique store they call “Memory Keepers.” Though knowledgeable in antiques and their repair, their real talent is in mentoring folks who are hurting and don’t even know it. Enter Jeff, a restaurateur, and Rhonda, a hotel manager, who recently moved to Amish country for the slow pace, but the change of scenery puts even more stress on their already strained marriage. Will an antique sled be the last straw, or will it lead to unexpected revelations and the fulfillment of dreams?

My Review:

I really Like this author, However I was not a fan of this book at all. This book is about a married couple who is struggling in their relationship. I feel like Rhonda was very whiney and just was looking for a reason out of her relationship. Jeff was selfish and self centered and seem to really careless about his wife or her feelings. I Loved Orley and Lois they were a super sweet couple and wish that they could have had amazing things happen in there lives as well. Over all this book was a clean read but I was not a huge fan of this book. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

My Review:

I LOVED this book, it reminded me from the beginning of a hallmark movie. The author has a way of making you feel like you are right there in the middle of it, she draws you in leaves you wanting more. I loved Elle she has a heart for others not because she's an angel but because she just seems to generally have a good heart. I loved Iris and Molly they where extra bonus to this cute story and just easy to love and follow. Sam is hurt from the loss of his wife but that doesn't stop him from helping someone out and loving his daughter the best he knows how. Sam's dad his heart was in the right place but he also was willing to respect his son. Overall this book was well worth the read and puts you in the spirit of Christmas and giving. I truly could not put this book down. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

A Season of Change Beth Wiseman

 

 Description:

Finding peace means letting go of the past—and embracing the change that is to come. 

Sisters Esther and Lizzie have a new employee, Rose Petersheim, to help them tend to The Peony Inn. But their old matchmaking ways have stayed the same. The sisters focus their efforts on the lovely twenty-five-year-old Rose. Though Rose is witty and outspoken, her nervous chattering makes her the best match for someone calm and good at listening. Someone like Benjamin—the handsome handyman who recently moved to town. 

But when Esther receives an anonymous love letter and flowers, Rose’s love life is no longer the only one capturing the sisters’ attention. As they sleuth around searching for Esther’s secret admirer, they uncover that their grumpy renter, Gus, has a secret of his own that could bring about a difficult change in all their lives. And their continued meddling in Rose’s affairs reveals she, too, is hiding something—an old wound that could threaten her future happiness. 

As Rose, Lizzie, Esther, and Gus struggle to release the weight of their pasts, they discover that although people are complicated, love doesn’t need to be. 

This charming third installment of the Amish Inn series from bestselling author Beth Wiseman is a picture of loss and healing in which forgiveness will prove to be the greatest act of love.

My Review:

I really enjoyed this book is was so fun to read yet also go to the heart of the matter. I did not read the first two book in the series but you do catch up with some of the other characters from both books in this story. I really enjoyed the sisters Lizzie and Esther you never knew what was going to come out of there mouths or what they were going to do next, between them and Gus I felt like I was always laughing. I really liked Rose she has a heart of goal but trying to find where she fits in life and someone who will love her for who she is. Ben Was also struggling but he seem to just be stubborn and take things in stride. I feel like thought out the book is was a reminder to love ourselves for who God made us and others will come along to love us just the same. Over all this book was a fun read and was well worth it. It was also a clean read so suitable for all. I would totally recommend this book to anyone. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

My Review:

I have really enjoyed reading about the Monroe's and the family craziness, it goes to show just because you have money life is not easy. I liked Cassie, she had a heart of gold and she wants to make sure her family has all they need. Bentley he seems so lost and he just needs to find where he can land and feel needed. I loved all the kids in this book I always feel like with kids in a story it tends to guarantee a laugh for sure. This story seemed a little split between Cassie, Bentley and Rhett and Olivia. I am not sure if the author is going to be telling Olivia's story next but I can not wait to read Olivia's story. This is a clean read and over all this book is worth the read so fun and a quick read.
