REVIEW: Wish Me Home – #TBR Challenge 2019

WISH ME HOME by Kay Bratt took me on an emotional journey, filled with interesting people, and a dog who melted my heart. “The One” appears, but this is mostly about running away and finding your bliss. I love Kay Bratt’s style. She pulls me in right away with her engaging characters who keep their…

REVIEW: The Bookshop of the Broken Hearted

The Bookshop of the Broken Hearted by Robert Hillman is a beautiful book full of adversity and love. It’s not an easy novel to read because of its characters’ deep-seated problems, but well worth the time spent to get to the end. I was enamored by the lyrical quality of the writing that painted a…

Review: The Invited

THE INVITED by Jennifer McMahon leaves a lasting impression. Even though I guessed a small part of the mystery before it was revealed, the author completely surprised me with the who, what, and where. Highly recommend this nail-biter! In the beginning, we learn about Hattie Breckenridge and her daughter Jane in the year of 1924….

Review: The Forbidden Bride

THE FORBIDDEN BRIDE by Cheryl Reavis is a treasure from the past. It brought back many fond memories of why I fell in love with historical romance when I began my reviewing journey in 2003. Why was this book in Dorine’s TBR? Years ago, I had a Harlequin Historicals subscription. It cemented my love for…

REVIEW: Cold-Hearted Rake by Lisa Kleypas

COLD-HEARTED RAKE by Lisa Kleypas is the kind of historical romance I love, full of humor and stuffy aristocrats who lose themselves in love. All it took was fan favor and listening to audible samples to get me to jump into the series full force. This book made me happy that I took the plunge….

REVIEW: When We Left Cuba by Chanel Cleeton

WHEN WE LEFT CUBA by Chanel Cleeton leaves a lasting impression. I loved the political intrigue mixed with taboo relationships that made it very realistic. Not that I agreed with the characters’ behavior, which may tip the non-traditional scale for the follow-the-rules romance reader, but it worked for me in the end. Like many romance…

REVIEW: Ain’t She a Peach by Molly Harper

AIN’T SHE A PEACH by Molly Harper continues the snarky fun we had in SWEET TEA AND SYMPATHY with the McCready Family Funeral Home and Bait Shop as the stage. Bet you can’t read just one! Frankie McCready loves to talk to her customers and play their favorite music while she does their makeup. Friends are…

REVIEW: The Cowboy’s Ready-Made Family by Linda Ford

THE COWBOY’S READY-MADE FAMILY by Linda Ford represents beautifully what I love about sweet Christian romance and the friends-to-lovers trope. The author’s slow pacing allowed the characters to know each other and support one another before blossoming their love. Why was this book in Dorine’s TBR? I had a Love Inspired subscription for months and…
