Review: Flora lives on the island Mure in the North Atlantic with her large family of brothers and her father. She runs the Seaside Kitchen and is very happy and in love with the American Joel, who has relocated to the island. Flora has just found out that she is pregnant but is very nervous […]
Review: Christmas Camp by Karen Schaler is the perfect grab-some-hot-chocolate, snuggle-with-a-blanket, feel good holiday story. It is positively dripping with Christmas and I love everything about it. Haley works in advertising in Boston and dreams of becoming partner. She needs to land a huge campaign to clench the partnership, but that campaign centers around a […]
Review: I start reading Christmas and winter stories fairly early every year. This is a later than normal start for me, but I’m excited that I got to start with this Maisey Yates story. She is a new-to-me author, even though I’ve had my eye on her books for years. A Tall, Dark Cowboy Christmas […]
Review: I love this series so much. When I picked up the first book in this series (Little Beach Street Bakery), I read it in one sitting and felt so completely happy when I was finished. I felt the exact same way when I finished with the second book (Summer at Little Beach Street Bakery). […]
Review: Pupcakes by Annie England Noblin is my latest seasonal read and it really is as cute as its cover. This is the story of recently-divorced Brydie Benson, who moves to Memphis to be closer to her friend and finds herself in need of an a low-cost place to live. When she happens upon Pauline Newmann’s […]
Review: One Snowy Night by Jill Shalvis is a quick and super-cute novella that is part of her Heartbreaker Bay Series, featuring two characters in the secondary cast. Rory works for Willa at her pet shop. Max works for Archer. The two are on a road trip from the San Francisco area to Tahoe, up […]
Review: The Trouble with Mistletoe by Jill Shalvis is a quick read, very cute. I liked it more than the previous book, Sweet Little Lies, because there isn’t a huge “secret that can change destroy everything.” This book features Willa and Keane. While each of the books in this series are technically standalones, I love reading […]
Review: I almost don’t know where to begin with this one because I loved it so much. Last Christmas in Paris by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb begins in 1968 with Thomas Harding traveling back to Paris for his last Christmas (no spoiler there, see title) with a bundle of letters, a nurse, and failing […]
REVIEW: Oh my gosh! This was so good! I’ve spent my week binge-reading the Heartbreaker Bay Series and I’ve had the best time. I’ve read them all except for one book (Accidentally On Purpose, featuring Elle and Archer), and Chasing Christmas Eve is definitely my favorite so far. Spence is part of the original core group […]
Review: Mistletoe on Main Street by Olivia Miles is a huge win for me because I love small-town settings, second-chance romances, holiday stories, and companion series. I love basically everything about this story. I’m excited that I caught this series as it is beginning (and at holiday season, FUN!) so I can keep up with […]
