Carolina Breeze Denise Hunter- Bluebell Inn #2

Description:

A jilted bride. A struggling innkeeper. And a romantic mountain getaway that changes everything

Rising Hollywood star Mia Emerson is looking for a safe place to land in the wake of a public breakup and celebrity scandal, and she finds it in the lake town of Bluebell, North Carolina—the location of her canceled honeymoon. She wants nothing more than to hide and wait for the tabloids to die down.

Soon after her arrival at the Bluebell Inn, Mia meets Levi Bennett, who runs the inn along with his two younger sisters. Drawn to one another from the start, Mia trusts Levi to keep her location from the press, and Levi confides in Mia about the precarious financial state of the inn—a secret he’s been keeping from his sisters.

When Mia and Levi discover an old journal that hints at a rare diamond necklace hidden in the inn, they set off on a treasure hunt to find the long-lost heirloom. What they don’t expect to surface are feelings they thought were safely locked away. Mia and Levi must decide if falling in love again is too big a risk—or if it will uncover a treasure of its own instead.

My thoughts on the book:

So I got this book and finished it right away I could not put this book down, it truly draws you in and leaves you wanting more. To me the characters seemed very relatable to a point which is nice. They were fun to read about and it felt like you were right there sometimes. I liked Levi's sisters they love him but they but they are ready to be their own person and have no problem telling him. I loved how Mia has such a big heart, while we hear in real life that movie stars are so selfish the author had a way of making Mia relatable and it was really hard not to like her. I really like the community of this book. It really goes to show you that you can make your own family. This book is a good clean read. The book was a really fun read and I can't wait to see where the siblings go next I am totally rooting for Grace. 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

Can't Hurry Love Melinda Curtis- Sunshine Valley #1

Description:

From a USA Today bestselling author comes a heartwarming romance about a city girl who finds herself widowed in a quirky small town and the new target of the town's relentless matchmaking Widows Club.


Head-over-heels in love, Lola Williams gave up everything to marry Randy, including a promising career in New York City. Now, after one year of marriage and one year of widowhood, Lola finds herself stranded in Sunshine, Colorado, reeling from the revelation that Randy had secrets she never could have imagined. She swears she's done with love forever but the matchmaking ladies of the Sunshine Valley Widows Club have different plans...

Sheriff Drew Taylor also knows what it feels like to be unlucky in love. So when Lola comes to him for help uncovering Randy's hidden life, Drew finds himself saying yes against his better judgment - especially with the Widows Club eyeing them both. Soon enough, Lola is upending Drew's peaceful, predictable world...and he kind of likes it! But will this big-city girl ever give her heart to a small-town guy again?


My thoughts on the book:

I am excited this is a series, I say that because the town of Sunshine it full of some really fun characters and I can't wait to see where the author goes next.  My two favorite characters would have to be Lola and Becky, Becky was a pistol she was so cute, sometimes you never knew what was going to come out of her mouth. I like Lola because no matter what she was a fighter and super independent she also had a vulnerability to her that made her feel like she could be your best friend, which made it feel like you were catching up instead of reading about fictional characters. I liked the judge too and his punishments oh my if we all had a judge like this in our towns. I wish that one thing that happened towards the end would have happened a little sooner, but I understand the book had to play out the way it did for a reason. Overall this book was fun read and it was a good clean read. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

The Bake Shop Amy Clipston

Description:

Return to Lancaster County with the first installment of Amy Clipston's charming new Amish Marketplace series.

Christiana Kurtz loves to bake, but when her bake stand becomes too busy, her mother encourages her to move her business to the local market. Her new bake shop becomes so inundated with customers that the line blocks the leather and woodcraft shop next door, which is run by Jeffrey Stoltzfus. When Jeffrey complains that her stand is driving away business due to the lines, she complains to him that his personalization machine smells. Though their relationship starts off on bad footing, they eventually forge a friendship.

When Christiana’s father makes a surprise visit to the market, he is upset to find that Jeffrey uses the building’s electricity to personalize his items. He tells Christiana that Jeffrey is too modern for her, and she’s forbidden from dating him. Christiana is crushed, but she knows she must obey her father.

When Jeffrey’s shop catches fire one day, he puts the entire market in jeopardy—including Christiana’s bake shop. Christiana, however, can’t deny how she feels about Jeffrey despite his mistakes. Though the odds are against them, can two young people find a way to rebuild both their businesses and their relationship?




My thoughts on the book:

I have read Amy's book in the past so I was excited to get a chance to read this one. I liked Christiana and the relationship she had with her sister and her cousins they were fun to read about and the close relationship was more like a bunch of sisters instead of cousins. I also enjoyed the relationship with Jeff and Nick, Nick was that annoying little brother you just have to love no matter what. When the information comes out about Christiana's dat it broke my heart and made everything makes sense. I did feel like it was pretty predictable but over all a really fun read. This book is suitable for all ages and is a good clean read if you love amish reads or a good love story this book is totally worth the read. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Off the Market Audrey Wick (Texas BBQ Brothers, #2)

Description:

Can the man who saved the day win her heart? 

Quinn LaFayette is in her inaugural year as library special programs director of Last Stand, but when the kickoff performance for the children’s summer program goes terribly wrong, she has to save face as well as her job. She has a surprise advocate in Cole, whom she did her best to ignore in school. Seven years has only made Cole more appealing, but Quinn is determined to resist the sparks that fly between them because they are too different.

Restaurant owner Cole Hutchinson is no bookworm, but thanks to his fast-thinking antics, he ends up saving the day at the library and earning Quinn’s praise in the process. He’s tempted to seek more, but he’s juggling plenty of female attention from gracing the June edition of Modern Texas magazine featuring barbeque. Cole’s not interested in revisiting a woman from his past, but there’s something about Quinn that he can’t quite ignore.

Can Cole prove that opposites really do attract?

My thoughts on the book:

I was so happy to get my hand on this book after reading the first book in the series. The brothers are back and they are still "fighting" on who's right in the battle of business, they have that love, hate relationship most siblings have.... I really was glad to get to read Cole's story and what a big heart he had. I loved Quinn and her feistiness yet her heart of gold for all things books and kids. The author leaves you hungry for both food and for more in the end that's for sure. I liked how in both books in the series the author added her perusal touch of recipes you read about in the book. I loved that this story was a clean read and suitable for all. This book was truly one you feel like you are catching up with friends and you can't wait to see what's happening next. Grab this quick read you won't regret it. 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

Andrew Jennifer Beckstrand -The Petersheim Brother #1

Description:

Andrew, Abraham, and Austin Petersheim’s family business has earned them the nickname The Peanut Butter Brothers. But if their matchmaking younger siblings have their way, all three may soon bear another title: husband . . .
 
Handsome, hardworking, and godly, Andrew Petersheim has always been sure of his place in his Wisconsin Amish community. He’ll be a welcome catch for the local girl who finally captures his heart. Mary Coblenz certainly isn’t that girl. Two years after “jumping the fence” for the Englischer world, she’s returned, unmarried and pregnant. Yet instead of hiding in shame as others in the community expect, she’s working at the Honeybee Farm, ignoring the gossips—and winning over Andrew’s eight-year-old twin brothers . . .
 
For all Andrew’s certainty about right and wrong, it seems he has a lot to learn from Mary’s courage, grace, and resilience. She’s changing his notions about forgiveness and love, but will she in turn accept the challenge of starting over and choose to stay—with him?
 

My thoughts on the book:


I loved Alfi, Bitzy, and Benji, they hand down were my favorite characters they added a element to the story. This story has your emotions all over the place for sure. The author has you laughing, crying and wanting to punch someone all in the same chapter. I love how strong and stubborn Mary was she had a way of just shining off the pages. Andrew is one I had a love/hate relationship with some moments I wanted to hate him and then he would do something and I would love. I really loved how the author did not try and make the Amish these perfect people that some authors do, because of that the story makes it feel like I’m catching up with friends instead of fictional people. I really liked everything about this book. I loved that it was a good clean read and perfect for all, and that you find yourself not wanting to put it down. I hope there is more to come with this fun family, I really can’t imagine what the twins will cook up next. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Description:


Never trust a Monroe—

Especially if she steals your heart!

Gorgeous pregnant redhead Laurel Monroe, who, along with her family, now owns the town. But sometimes all it takes is an unexpected opportunity—and a snowstorm—to turn Mitch’s bad first impressions into a second chance at love!

My thoughts on the book:
Who doesn’t deserve a second chance? Well what better place to get it the Second Chance Idaho. The Monroe’s are back in this fun read. I was not a huge fan of Mitch at first I wanted to punch him. Shane and Gabby could be friends the way those two conspire to do things just killed me but they kept the book lively with there antics. Oh Sophia that women has mama bear written all over her she doesn’t just protect her cubs she protects this she loves, and Laurel was not exempt from that. I can’t wait to read Sophia’s story. Laurel has this was about her that I liked she’s fighting for her independence but not quite sure how to get it, I felt like as she discovered who she was and what she was fighting for she found herself. I really enjoyed this fun read. This book is a clean read which was refreshing as well. So worth the read you won’t regret it. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

Description:

When a supermodel with a string of bad news boyfriends “wins” a volunteer firefighter at a charity bachelor auction, Rose and Ryan might both discover they’ve found their perfect Christmas match.

I really love Dani she is so sweet and truly cares about her family. I really loved how this book was a good clean read and how it draws you in from the beginning.

At First Glance Susan Tuttle

Description:

Estate planner Penny Thornton loves dusting off items others gloss over, especially since she relates to feeling tossed aside for the "bright and shiny." When her younger sister's approaching wedding launches Penny back into the throes of her dysfunctional family, she decides to use the festivities to close the gap in their relationships even if it means appeasing them and finally losing the few pounds they've hounded her about for years. 

But she doesn't expect to meet two very different men in the process: East Fisher, the personal trainer who personifies everything she believes she could never attain, and Jonah Black, a man who reminds her so much of herself. Both men are more than they appear at first glance, and each seems interested in her romantically. 

As Penny uncovers their hidden layers, she discovers when it comes to love and matters of the heart, she's got a lot to learn about estimating value.

My thoughts on the book:

Giving this chance to read this debut book for this author is super exciting, because it it always wonderful to find a new author. In this book you have a handful of broken people looking for love and healing. Finding forgiveness is not all about forgiving someone, and the author did an amazing job with that in this book. While this is a perfect clean read if I was rating it as a movie I would say PG-13 it discuss' some situations that most young people face every day. I loved how the author kept things real you could totally relate with any of the characters in this book. I loved how it felt like I was catching up with friends. Belle is one of those you love to hate, but when things start to make sense in the end you are left wanting more not just from her but other characters in the book as well. I hope that the author is not done with this group of family and friends.  In this book you will find yourself laughing, crying and laughing again. This book will not disappoint.

Dear Santa Nancy Naigle

Description:
From USA Today bestselling author Nancy Naigle, Dear Santa is a heartwarming Christmas story about finding your passion for life and love.

Angela Carson wants nothing more than to be the third-generation to run her family’s holiday store, Heart of Christmas, successfully. They’ve weathered over sixty tourist seasons, major hurricanes, and urban sprawl, in their old decommissioned lighthouse. But the national chain that set up shop in their small North Carolina town of Pleasant Sands may be more than Heart of Christmas can survive.

Encouraged by her niece to ask Santa for help through the Dear Santa app, Angela gives in and lets the words fly in a way that, if Santa were real, would no doubt land her on the naughty list. What’s the harm when it’s just a computer-generated response?

Geoff Paisley has been at his mother’s side running the mega-chain Christmas Galore for the last ten years. When his mother falls ill, Geoff promises to answer the Dear Santa letters in her stead. Soon he realizes the woman he’s been corresponding with on Dear Santa is Angela. How could the woman that grates his every last nerve in person have intrigued him so deeply through those letters?

When Geoff reveals that he’s her Dear Santa, will Angela be able to set aside their very public feud to embrace the magic of the holiday and possibly find true love?

My thoughts on the book:

I was super in the middle with this book, there were parts I liked and others not so much. Maybe its was just me but in the beginning of he book Marie came of super conceded and seem to look her nose down at there sister. I also felt in the first portion of the book the author seemed to repeat herself and spend a lot of time on one thing but then it became rushed in the end. I did really enjoy the small town and how no matter what the town seem to rally around people. I loved how in the end of the day Marie and her husband stood by Angela and supported her, and I loved how Geoff came across as a hard soul but also had a heart for him mom and those close to him. The book is a good clean read, and its the perfect book to get you into the Christmas spirit.

But ever since Lydia Newbury showed up at his six-generation Montana spread, the frazzled single father is rethinking, well, everything. The Philadelphia dazzler is a marvel.

She misses her friends but she knows the decision she made was the best if she can only prevent the past from catching up.

I have never read anything by this author so I wasn't sure what to expect and I was not disappointed. This book was so fun and a super quick read, I had a hard time putting it down. I loved the twins they were super fun to read about. I also really enjoyed Lydia and her amazing independent take no prisoners sassiness you always know what she was thinking she held nothing back. The author held nothing back. I loved how this book was a good clean read no foul language and suitable for all ages.  Seriously grab this book you won't be disappointed.  I received an advance copy.

Starting from Scratch Kate Lloyd- Lancaster Discoveries Book 2

Description:


An Old Flame Brings a Spark of New Hope

En Alt Maedel—an old maid.

At age twenty-nine, that's what Eva Lapp considers herself. And who could argue with her? Finding a good Amish husband at her age will be next to impossible. Plus, Eva's unwarranted bad reputation in Lancaster County precedes her. Maybe living the Englisch life would be better.

Squeezed out of her childhood home by her brother's boisterous family, Eva finds lodging and a new job managing a small café at a local plant nursery. But the challenge of her new position isn't enough to distract from her current predicament.

To Eva's surprise, her first love, Jake Miller, suddenly returns to Lancaster County. Flooded with emotions and filled with questions about Jake's past, can Eva trust what she's feeling?

Jake and Eva face many obstacles in their quest for a fresh start in the community, but perhaps with God's help, they can find the redemption they both desperately need.

My thoughts on the book:

This book is from one point of view. Eva is trying for find independence and when the past comes back she starts to question everything she does and what the future holds. Can she figure out what she wants or will it all be to much for her and she seeks her parents help?

At the beginning of this I really enjoyed it. I loved how this sweet "old Maid" amish girl was seeking her independence and finding herself on a new journey. I didn’t like the ending at all I didn’t like who she ended up with I felt like it was pushed on her instead of letting Eva make her choice. I felt like through the whole book the author seemed to be portraying this need for independence with Eva and the in the end she really didn’t have it, the choice was made for her and she was going with it no matter what. I also wish the author would have given the point of view from other characters the story seem to be missing something if that make sense. This book is a good clean read and was over all a fun I really enjoyed Beatrice and Stephan.

A Courtship on Huckleberry Hill Jennifer Beckstrand

Description:
There's nothing Huckleberry Hill, Wisconsin’s irrepressible eighty-somethings Anna and Felty Helmuth like better than a challenge. And the chance to matchmake their feisty granddaughter is their most delightful task yet…
Elsie Stutzman’s plain-spoken ways got her in trouble once before, so she needs to make a good impression at her new teaching job. But she's not about to let disabled student Wally Sensenig work below his potential. And she definitely won’t put up with his hot-headed older brother sabotaging her efforts, no matter how handsome he is. . . 
Sam is nearly at the end of his rope caring for his ailing, widowed mother, working their farm, and raising his siblings. He'll admit Elsie’s ideas are bringing Wally out of his angry shell—but why does she have to be as stubborn as she is pretty? Yet as it turns out, Elsie has taught Sam something about himself as well. And he’ll do whatever it takes to make up for his mistakes—and win her heart forever.


My thoughts on the book:

Elsie is not afraid to speak her mind, but with a new job an in a new place she needs to remember to hold her tongue. Her mammi has it stuck in her head she needs to be married and meet the man of her dreams that she has picked out. Sam will stop at nothing to protect his family including his "crippled" Brother. When he goes head to head with the new teacher he needs to make her understand her place and he and his family are not to be messed with. Can they both make the other see and still keep the hearts and families from getting hurt?

I have to say that Wally, Elsie and Maizy are my favorite characters in this book, I really loved how even though Wally was hard headed and living life not the right way he had a way of really making this story. I really liked Elsie, she took a lot from everyone and still held her head high. She maybe small but she was fierce and wouldn’t back down from any challenge at all. I have to say my least favorite person in the book would have to be Sam. I found Sam dense, clueless, and almost a little self absorbed to see what was right in front of his face it became annoying I am not sure if the author was making him the "hero" of the story but I felt like Elsie was the biggest of the book. The book is a good clean read and is good for just about anyone.

Mackinac Island Christmas Gail Gaymer Martin

Description:
Josie Ryan arrives on Mackinac Island, looking forward to the Christmas season in the quaint setting with no automobiles and a back-in-time aura, but she learns that her longtime friend has to cancel her trip due to a family emergency. Disappointed, Josie decides to stay the day and then cancel her trip since it’s no fun being alone. But her plans change when Chris Barnes, visiting his grandfather, comes to her aid and offers to show her the sites. When she learns that Chris is raising his deceased brother’s child, she is touched. Amid snowball fights, snowmen, and snow angels, Josie’s life changes when she falls in love with the little girl, but Ellie wants a mommy. Even though Chris is a great guy with wonderful attributes, Josie has absolutely no plans to marry, or can this four-year-old change Josie’s plans.


My thoughts on the book:
Josie is so happy to be on vacation but when her longtime friend can't make it she now is trying to decide if she will stick around or head home early. When she meets Chris she decides to stick around and see what happens. Chris is on the island to visit his grandfather and he miss' his niece who he's raising. Can they come together and have a change of heart over a wise 4 year old who has lost everything but has a love for everyone and everything?
This book remind me of something that was written for or seen on Hallmark in the Christmas line up. I love Christmas and I loved seeing it through a four year old she was so spirited and had a way of making you see Christmas through a child's eyes. I loved Gramps in this book he was fun and added a huge element to the book. I like how both main characters are broken but both seeking healing in different ways. I think the only thing I really did not like about this book was how Josie's seem to have an obsession with divorce. She seemed so hung up on it that she couldn't get past it and it made her come off as if she was self absorbed instead of someone who was understanding of the situation. This book will defiantly put you in the Christmas spirit.

You're Gonna Love Me Robin Lee Hatcher

Description:

Who knew fate could twist a tragedy into a second chance at love?
Samantha Winters lives her life the way a good accountant should—measured, deliberate, and safe. After watching her father die in a tragic skiing accident, she decided never to allow risk into her life again. But she didn’t count on falling for Nick Chastain, who embodies everything she doesn’t want in her safely constructed world.

Against Samantha’s warnings, Nick plans a dangerous kayaking trip over spring break. Furious that he’s so careless with his life, she ends their fledgling relationship with harsh words.

Two years later, Samantha is desperately in need of a change. When she learns her grandmother has had an accident and is in need of a caretaker, Samantha quickly packs her bags and heads to Thunder Creek, Idaho. But nothing could prepare her for the surprise awaiting her in her grandmother’s hospital room . . . Nick.

With the charming backdrop of small-town friends, beloved cousins, and a whole church congregation rooting for them, can they set aside the disastrous ending of their first try at love? Has Nick changed enough to meet Samantha in the middle—and can she realize that a risk in love might be worth taking?
My thoughts on the book:

Samantha is not with what is going on in her life right now. She has more questions then she does answers. She is home helping her grandmother after a fall and maybe after some time of relaxing she can find out some answers. But when someone from her past comes back into her life she still ends up wondering whats next in her life. Nick runs into Samantha when he never thought he would see her again. He struggles with telling her the truth that happened two years ago or just letting things lye where they are. Can the two figure out how to navigate life in a small town and get the answers each seek?

What a sweet book this was. This book was like coming home, there was no suspense or nothing that just stood out. It felt more like catching up with a friend. I loved how the book just flowed and you wanted to find out what was going to happen next. I loved all the main characters I really enjoyed Ruth and her friends they just seemed like the towns Grandma's and also matchmakers. I really loved how this was a good clean read and also how with everything Nick had been through he still sought his faith to make it through. I can't wait for more from this sweet town of Thunder creek(oh how I hope there is more). If you are looking for a clean read with one of the sweetest love stories this book will not disappoint at all.

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.

Still recovering from a broken engagement, the first-grade teacher from Las Vegas isn’t looking for romance. She’s in Montana to get to know the great-grandfather she never knew existed until she found some hidden family letters. Judge Kingsley is a grouchy recluse and he’s far from welcoming, but Elena is determined to stay in town long enough to give his neglected estate on Bramble Lane a facelift.

My thoughts on the book:

I love all things Marrietta Montana, and this book did not disappoint at all. I felt like Elena was willing for bring the pass to the for front to find healing no matter what brick walls she was hitting. I loved her and her take no prisoner attitude she was just cocky enough that you find your self saying "wow this girl has no filter and I love it". I loved how Wes did not take much either. He had this loving, kind spirit in the book and you just found yourself truly connecting with them and they feel like they are friends not characters in books. I so loved this sweet story and I wanted so much more because the story was just that amazing. The author did an amazing job at letting the story flow and getting you sucked in.

THE BULL RIDER'S HOMECOMING Allie Pleiter

Description:

Healing the Cowboy's Heart 

When Luke Buckton left Blue Thorn Ranch, he'd hoped to return in a blaze of rodeo glory; instead, he's limping home with a busted leg. To get back on the circuit he'll need physical therapist Ruby Sheldon's help. Six years ago, he left Ruby behind, convinced she was too innocent for such a public life.

All she has to do is rein in Luke's bullheadedness, heal his injuries—and hope his reckless charm doesn't trample her heart again…

My thoughts on the book:

I really super enjoyed this book. I loved this fun read. I had a completely love hate relationship with Luke in the beginning I wanted to choke him. Luke and Ruby through out the whole book were determined to fight for what they wanted and to help bring closure to a relationship that needed it. I love this cowboy, small town everyone in your business but everyone loves you no matter what,  feel too in this book. I really enjoyed the back in forth but also how important no matter what Ruby held family and God and the center. This is a clean romance and you can't go wrong with this book.

Even if working with her to catch and convict this ruthless killer puts his heart in the crosshairs.

But when she wins a case that is very public it seems someone has it out for her and will stop of nothing to stop her in her tracks. Beckett is the Sheriff in the small town of Hope, TN and he protects everyone including those he would rather not.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I loved this book Jessica has an amazing way of capturing the readers attention and not letting go. I really had a hard time putting this book down to go to bed I needed to know what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed the characters in this book and I really enjoyed how even thought the book was intense at parts the author had a way of putting in a light hearted moment then just where it needs to be. I loved how this book is a good clean romance but more important a suspense book that keeps you on your toes just when you think you have it figured out she those a huge curve ball and I found my self saying Ok I did not see that coming. Seriously grab this book and sit back for a fun time a head.

Maybe It's You Candace Calvert

Description:
ER nurse Sloane Ferrell escaped her risky past—new name, zip code, job, and a fresh start. She’s finally safe, if she avoids a paper trail and doesn’t let people get too close. Like the hospital’s too-smooth marketing man with his relentless campaign to plaster one “lucky” employee’s face on freeway billboards.

Micah Prescott’s goal is to improve the Hope hospital image, but his role as a volunteer crisis responder is closer to his heart. The selfless work helps fill a void in his life left by family tragedy. So does a tentative new relationship with the compassionate, beautiful, and elusive Sloane Ferrell.

Then a string of brutal crimes makes headlines, summons responders . . . and exposes disturbing details of Sloane’s past.

Can hope spring from crisis?


My thoughts on the book:

Sloane has a past she seems to always be on the run from. She is now in LA and hopefully and the right path, however will the past catch up with her again and send her on the run, or will she finally be able to hide in plain sight? Micah has the goal of rebranding the hospital and finding the face of hope. When the past seems to keep coming up and his friend starts to uncover information on the one person he seems to have in mind to be the face of the hospital. Will he be able to work together and convince Sloane she is the face or will the past be just to much to handle?

Where do I even begin, this book was amazing. At first I wasn't sure where it was going but quickly the storyline grabs you and draws you in and you find yourself sucked in and needing to know what happens next. The suspense in the book truly add to the twist in turns in the book. There are some really tough subjects dealt with in the book that just adds to another element to the story. I love how the author adds the element of grace and forgiveness in the book not just with God but with each other. I just loved the end I really wasn't sure what was going to happen but the author kept you guessing to the end. I also loved how everything was followed up at the end with an epilogue if tied the book up perfectly. You seriously can not go wrong with this series such a fun group of books.
