A Highlander Walks into a Bar Laura Trentham

Description:


The timeless romance, soaring passion—and gorgeous men—of Scotland come to modern-day America. And the rules of love will never be the same…

Isabel Buchanan is fiery, funny, and never at a loss for words. But she is struck speechless when her mother returns from a trip to Scotland with a six-foot-tall, very handsome souvenir. Izzy’s mother is so infatuated by the fellow that Izzy has to plan their annual Highland Games all by herself. Well, not completely by herself. The Highlander’s strapping young nephew has come looking for his uncle…

Alasdair Blackmoor has never seen a place as friendly as this small Georgia town—or a girl as brilliant and beguiling as Izzy. Instead of saving his uncle, who seems to be having a lovely time, Alasdair decides he’d rather help Izzy with the Highland Games. Show her how to dance like a Highlander. Drink like a Highlander. And maybe, just maybe, fall in love with a Highlander. But when the games are over, where do they go from here?

“Laura Trentham creates a romance that is both extremely sensual and phenomenal.”
—Fresh Fiction

My thoughts on the book:

This book was super cute read. If I had describe it I would say it's like a fairy tale with a twist. I really loved the relationship between Isabel and Rose and I also loved the small town, as someone who grew up in a small town it was very easy to relate to the characters and the fun in the town. The author had a way or making you feel like you were right there in the mix of everything. I really enjoyed Alasdair and Gaerth as well the relationship was more of a parent child which was wonderful to read. This book was super hard to put down. I will say there is so adult language/ situations in the book so may not be suitable for all readers. That being said the chemistry truly jumped off the pages and unlike so book did not seem forced but very natural. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion

Ella: An Amish Retelling of Cinderella Sarah Price

Description:
In Sarah Price’s heartwarming Amish version of this best-loved fairytale, a hardworking, overlooked young woman is rewarded in unexpected ways . . .
“Be kind and have faith.” Ella Troyer strives to abide by her mother’s final words, although life in the small Amish town of Echo Creek isn’t always easy. Her new stepmother, Linda, treats her coldly, and her two stepsisters, Drusilla and Anna, delight in gossip and laziness. After her father’s death, Ella’s stepsisters are free to attend youth singings while Ella stays at home to manage the household chores, rarely seeing another soul. Until one day, while running an errand, she has a chance meeting with a young Amish man from a nearby town.

Drusilla and Anna are full of admiration for charming, affluent newcomer Johannes Wagler, and Linda hopes to ensnare him as a husband for one of her girls—while keeping Ella out of the way. As for Hannes, he longs to catch another glimpse of the mysterious young woman who can sing so sweetly andbake the most delicious pie he’s ever sampled. Now, with a little help from some unlikely sources, Ella dares to hope she might find her heart’s dearest wishes—for love, family, and a home of her own—coming true at last . . .


My thoughts on the book:

Ella Troyer is faced with losing her mom gaining a new family and then losing her dad. She is reminded of her mother's memory to always be kind and nice. As she faces helping her stepmom and siblings with everything, she catches a suitors eye can she do it all or will something have to give?
Every time I get my hands on Sarah’s book I just can’t put it down most nights reading late into the night and this was once again one of those books. I wanted to know what happened. I have read Sarah’s other book Belle and now this one and for whatever reason these books make me feel like I’m coming home. They are so good it makes you feel like your catching up with friends and the author has that way of just reaching through the pages to keep you interested and going from beginning to end. Seriously this book was amazing. I loved everything about it. The author kept it light but also with a lesson to be learned while reading this wonderful story. The author leaves you hungry both physically and spiritually.

Belle Sarah Price - An Amish Retelling of Beauty and the Beast

Description:
In author Sarah Price’s fresh and inspirational retelling of a beloved classic, a dutiful young Amish woman agrees to marry a notorious recluse for her family’s sake—but the consequences are more than either bargained for . . .

To most townsfolk, he’s known simply as The Beast. Annabelle Beiler has little interest in gossip, but she’s heard about Adam Herschberger’s scars and his gruff, solitary ways. Though he sounds like a character from one of Belle’s treasured books, the man is real and, it turns out, just as unreasonable as the rumors claim. When a buggy accident wipes out the last of her daed’s money, forcing him to sell their farm, Adam buys it. Then he offers Belle a deal—marry him, and her family can keep their home.

Everyone is shocked by Belle’s decision, but she’s determined to be a good fraa, cleaning Adam’s rundown house and tending the overgrown garden. Breaking through her new husband’s icy reserve will be another matter. Belle’s courage and strength are abundant, but it will take true faith to guide Adam back to the heart of his Amish community—and to the loving marriage they both deserve.

My thoughts on the book:

What has she gotten herself into was the one thing Belle wondered?Belle knew she would not go back on her word but hoped and prayed God would guide her through this time in her life. 
Adam is better off alone but when he see something that catches his eye he knows that its only in his dreams. As things start to play he wonders what he has gotten himself into. Can they both survive the mess they just got into or are the better off walking away?
Sarah did not disappoint with this book. While I was afraid this story my be to much like the fairy tale that was no the case she took and put her own twist to the story and did not let the reader down at all. I literally held off reading the last chapter in this book for like 20 minutes because I just did not want it to end. I am so excited for more of this fun series and see where Sarah takes us next. I Loved how you could find yourself crying and laughing in the same page and how the book was a good clean read. I loved how you could get your self so loss in the story and whats going to happen next all of a sudden your at the end only wanting it to never end. You seriously can not go wrong with this light hearted retelling of Beauty and the Beast where healing seems a farm away.

The Fairy Tale Bride, Scarlet Wilson

What's the book about:

It seems that wedding fever has hit the little town of Marietta…

Lisa Renee loves weddings. As owner of Marietta’s bridal salon, Lisa takes charge when a celebrity wedding rolls into town and does what she does best: hosting the fairy tale wedding her clients dream of. But the celebrity’s badly behaving bridesmaids shatter Lisa’s poise, excitement, and hopes of putting Marietta and her boutique on the map. The only place she can find peace is on the pediatric ward of the local hospital where she volunteers, a place that holds more meaning to her than anyone knows. Leave it to the handsome and charming new doctor to change all of that…

Dr. Adam Brady is enjoying his new job and anonymity at Marietta’s hospital, but he hasn’t been able to focus entirely since the gorgeous business owner and hard-working volunteer piqued his interest. As he spends more time with her, sparks fly, and he realizes that he’s not the only one in Marietta with secrets…

My thoughts on the book:

Lisa loves helping make people's Fairy tales come true and that no exception to the three hollywood girls that come into her bridal shop. The other thing she loves most is helping the patients in the hospital. She just likes to keep hidden and things hidden. 
Adam new to Marietta is enjoying keeping his secret and is glad that he can live in a quiet place and no one truly know who he is. Except he meets Lisa and he thinks she knows his secret but he still want to get to know her. No matter what she is all he can think about. But can they both trust each other to really get beyond the secrets they are hiding. 
I loved being back in Marietta, and catching up with the fun people. The book keeps you going through and through. The chemistry is HOT and FUN. Just like the other Marietta book this one makes you want to go visit and meet all these fun people.

December Bride Denise Hunt

 

What's the book about:

A very couple has a love story. Join us for a year of contemporary, seasonal wedding novellas, releasing in e-book every month. Each e-novella will include an excerpt from another wedding story in the Year of Weddings Collection as well as a list of the author’s full-length novels.

What started as a whim turned into an accidental - and very public - engagement. Can Layla and Seth keep up the facade in Chapel Springs this holiday season - for the sake of her career . . . and his heart?

Under normal circumstances, Seth Murphy, the best friend of Layla O'Reilly's ex-fiance would be the last person she'd marry. But the news of their upcoming (and phony) nuptials convinces a big client that Layla may be high-society enough to work for his agency, a coup that would put her fledgling home-staging business on the map. Seth has secretly loved Layla for years, even when she was dating his best friend. Maybe she'll never forgive him for the way he hurt her back then, but he has to try. And Layla is willing to keep up their engagement farce until she's landed her client. For Layla, it's the chance to save her career. But for Seth, it's his last chance to win her heart. A year's worth of novellas from twelve inspirational romance authors. Happily ever after guaranteed.

My thoughts on the book:

This story is a quick read that quickly gets to a struggle between two people who have not been in the best of situations but take the time to work together and find out whats important. Why this book is short and sweet its a fun read. I know this is a novella but my only wish was that the story was longer this is a great and fun read and I can say easily be read in an hour to an hour and half. Definitely worth the buy. I can't wait to read more A year of the wedding books

The story is so life like that you wonder if it really has ever happened and you find yourself including the characters in your prayer list at night. I love how Sandie can make you laugh and cry and leave you still wanting more.

If the Shoe Fits Sandra D. Bricker

 

 

Ok so I had the chance this week to read a really good book. I say that because I am not big on fairy tales there all the same to me. This book was presented as a modern day Fairy Tale.

 

About the book:

   Julianne starts looking for her prince charming since she was a little girl.  She also struggles with the pressure of dealing with everything being thrown at her. And trying to prove that she can handle love. She grew up with the boy next store, and Will and her decided to open up their own Law firm. On the way to court one day she just misses and accident and she believes she has now found her prince Charming. When she tries to follow him to find out who he is disappears and all she finds is a work boot on the side of the road. So she sets out to find who he is and sets her mind that this is the "prince" God has for her. But what she doesn't realize is her "prince" is right in front of her face but she is to stubborn to prove a point to see it. Julianne is on a collision course with God's perfect plan for her life...if only she could open her eyes and see it before it's too late. Go on this journey with Julianne and Will and their funny bunch of Friends and Family and you will not regret it.

 

My thoughts:

This author has always done an amazing job with her books and this one is no less different as she holds you till the end. At no point do you feel like on no here is another story same story line with just different names. Sandie Bricker has kept it real and you can see this can happen in real life. This is a book you will not regret reading or buying this book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!!
