A Midwife for Sweetwater and A New Face in Town Susan Payne

 Description:

A Midwife for Sweetwater

     Young Rebecca Johansen had just signed a contract making her Sweetwater, Kansas' midwife. Despite her misgivings she knew she would be useful to the growing town and a dependable source of medical care for the women and children living there.

     Although she had never heard of such a generous salary nor the fact she had been hired and brought there by the future fathers of the town's children, she felt blessed to be chosen.  Now she was determined not to let those men or their families down.

     Even though keeping a secret of her own, she felt she could more than fulfill her duties.  But will her passion and mutual desire for one man be more of a stumbling block than she ever could have conceived?

A New Face In Town

     Frightened and alone, Victoria Watkins was fighting to make right what had suddenly become very, very wrong.  Once thinking she had her whole future set out for her, she finds herself in a strange town seeking work without any credentials or confidence.  After all, what could a poor girl raised in the tobacco fields of Tennessee offer a growing town like Sweetwater?

     And what was she to do when Mason, the local sheriff, all but calls her a felon and danger to the town?  How could she explain her stupidity or expect any help from total strangers who didn't quite trust her either?

     And the other feelings the she had to push aside only caused her more distress.  She had only been trying to find a family to belong to, a place to call home and a man to want her for herself. Would her desire for the man who held her in such contempt be her downfall?

My thoughts on the book:

A Midwife for Sweetwater- I liked this story more than I liked the first two books in book one. Daniel and Rebecca both had huge insecurities they needed to overcome to be who they strive to be. But both faced things that continue to make them wonder if Sweetwater was where they would find their happy ever after. I did like catching up with Abby. She was one of my favorites from the other book I read. 

A New Face in Town- This story was just ok I felt like it was pretty predictable and not really my favorite out of the four stories I have read. I liked Mason and Matthew both have big hearts and will do anything to protect women woman who are being sold and traded. I liked Victoria she was nice but she almost seemed like she really had to try to hard to fit in to Sweetwater and it just didn't seem to fit from the other stories. In both stories there is sexual content which seems to be the majority of the book to be honest. over all the stories were ok just not for me. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

My thoughts on the book:

Christmas with a Cowboy

Sometimes a story doesn’t need drama or someone to be the hero. I felt like that was the case with this story. Every character was a hero in his or her own way. It was such a cute love story but also a story of belonging and finding home. I love Granny what a pistol she was so fun to read about. I really can’t wait to read Alana and Paxton’s story or should I say I hope that’s were it’s going. This book implies sex but over all the author kept it clean.

Rocky Mountain Cowboy Christmas

I really enjoyed this book over all. I loved being able to catch up with the other characters from this series as well. I really enjoy when and author can take a child and have there personality shine through on the pages and the author did that with not just one child but three it added hugely to a fun story. This is a short read but packed with a lot fun and emotions you will find your self laughing and crying. Over all this book shows what Christmas, Family and forgiveness is all about. You will not be disappointed with this fun read. I think the only thing I did not like about this book is that it was too short. There is adult situations in this book. 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

My thoughts on the book:

Story 1:

  The town comes together to help one person in need every year no matter what the person faces they will help. We need more of this in our world. I loved the community as a whole in this book. Alex was on this journey to solve a cold case so it add a mystery to the story which was fun. However I did find the story quite predictable, I wish there would have been a little more keeps you guessing going on in the story. The story over all was a good clean read and was a quick read for sure. I loved Grandma Baker hands down one of my favorite characters she has a way of speaking her mind in the most loving way and still getting her point access. I would say over all this book was worth the read and puts you in the Christmas spirit.

Story 2:

I loved this book, I loved how nothing was held back. This is such a sweet love story. I can relate to Sara as having a family member who has dementia, that being said even if that's not the case the characters were so down to earth and I really felt like I could relate with any of them.  I loved how the author had a way of getting to the heart and also had fun moments throughout. I loved Carmen she was just the constant icebreaker throughout and you truly never knew what was coming out of her mouth. This book does have some adult language/scenes but was a super fun read. I truly loved this book and I am not sure if this will become part of a series but if it does I can't wait for more. 
You really can't go wrong with this amazing love story.
