Review: The Cliff House by RaeAnne Thayne
RaeAnne Thayne is a newer to me author. I have only just started reading her books this year but so far I have loved them! She is such a strong and seasoned writer and that experience shows in her stories. When this one came up for review, I was on board not only because I have enjoyed her books, but I was also looking for something a little lighter to break things up. Lately I have been reading a lot of thrillers and more heavy duty novels, and not that she writes fluff (far from it) but there is something so satisfying about a book with a happy ending!

Review: The Lieutenant’s Nurse by Sara Ackerman
To say that this cover caught my eye is an understatement. I was drawn to it like a moth to a flame. It’s elegant, bright and exotic looking, but with the air of familiarity as a recognizable piece of historical fiction. I was eager to read it and thrilled when my copy came. From the description, it sounded a little like Pearl Harbor the movie. Now no judgement but I loved that movie. I didn’t care for Josh Hartnett but overall I loved that movie and I still watch it every time that it’s on. So in my mind I was secretly hoping that this book was going to be,…

Review: Where the Forest Meets the Stars by Glendy Vanderah
When this book showed up in my inbox for review, I wasn’t entirely sure it was something I wanted to read. It sounded a little sad and on the heavy side so initially I set it to the side as a ‘probably wouldn’t review’ book. But I wasn’t quite ready to write it off so I waited a few days to see if I might change my mind. The summary kept comping back into my mind and I kept thinking about the beautiful blue cover and interesting plot. Eventually I decided on saying yes to this one, mostly because it sounded magical and elegant even if it was going to…

Review: More Than Words by Jill Santopolo
Jill Santopolo was an author that I wanted to read long before this book! I received an ARC of her THE LIGHT WE LOST a couple years ago and I just couldn’t fit it into my review schedule. I still continue to eye THE LIGHT WE LOST whenever I am looking for something to read. It sounds like such a beautiful story, but for some reason, it just never makes its way onto my nightstand. Then MORE THAN WORDS came up for review and I wasn’t about to let this opportunity pass me by a second time. I have heard people rave about her books so I was excited to…

Review: The Moon Sister (The Seven Sisters #5) by Lucinda Riley
The Seven Sisters series has been a favorite of mine for the last few years! I have read all of them except the third book, not sure how I missed that one, which ironically was the one I was looking forward to most, but I will definitely be going back to read it as soon as I can. Riley writes with such an elegance and I love how each “Sister” novel stands alone but all together they form singular parts to a larger story. This series also explores a lot of different cultures and setting around the globe, it’s like getting to travel to exotic locations without having to leave…

Review: The Chef’s Secret by Crystal King
When I first saw this title, it made me hungry. The cover art did nothing to help that situation either. The trey of wine and fruit looks so appealing and I couldn’t help but think that I needed to crack open a bottle of wine to commemorate the beginning of this book! Now if truth be told—I am neither a foodie or a wine drinker, but for this book I felt like I totally could be! I thought it sounded like a fun and interesting story told in a unique setting–so I said yes to reading it. My sister got me a book on famous recipes from different Pope’s for…

Review: Secrets at Cedar Cabin (Lavender Tides #3) by Colleen Coble
I read one of Colleen Coble’s romantic suspense novels back in August 2018. It was the second book in the Lavender Tides series and I thought it was a really fun read and was eager to read more about this Pacific Northwestern coastal town. Being from Oregon and loving the Oregon coast, is what initially drew me to this author. I love when places that I know and love are featured in books. Even though Lavender Tides is a fictional city, the descriptions of this little town are vivid and could easily be any Washington or Oregon coastal town. Coble’s writing is suspenseful and thoughtful with the romance sharing the…

Review: With this Pledge (Carnton #1) by Tamera Alexander
This is my first Tamera Alexander book, though I have had her books on my TBR radar for quite some time. I think her covers are beautiful and there is something about southern belles and romances that I can’t get enough of. But yet, I haven’t moved her books up on my TBR list for some unknown reason. I was thrilled when this book came up for review because it gave me the perfect excuse to read one of her books, but then I forgot that I had it coming up soon. When I started looking at my calendar I realized that I hadn’t even started it yet and to…
