It’s been five years since the death of her sister, and Charlotte is going with her friend and her friend’s husband on a vacation in Vermont. Despite her friends efforts, Charlotte is still deep in her grief. However, on vacation she meets the man of many jobs, Matiu, and he seems to awaken something in Charlotte. With his help, she slowly begins to start enjoying life again.

This was a quick read, and never had a dull moment. I really felt for Charlotte and the loss of her sister. I appreciated her friend Veronica, and how she tried her best to include Charlotte. Matiu, who is from New Zealand and only working in Vermont temporarily, has his own issues, but when he meets Charlotte, he knows she is special.

A quick read with great characters.

Review: Hellfire and Handbaskets by Kathryn Hills

This is the second book in the A Time Traveler’s Journey series, but it CAN be read as a standalone. This book was almost 300 pages but it just flew by because it was so good. I read before bed, and every night, practically the second I open the book to start reading, I immediately was immersed in the story.

Amelia Pennington is a med student from the late 1800’s. While under attack, she travels to current time and meets Dr. Rick Hauser at his job in the ER. They have an instant connection and attraction to each other.

I really enjoyed how even though Amelia is from the past, she is definitely not helpless. She can take care of herself. I really enjoyed this story, each page had me eagerly turning to the next.

Review: Damselfly Inn by Cameron D. Garriepy

This was a book that I bought because I really liked the cover. Something about it and the Victorian house drew me in. This is a story about Nan Grady, a new to town bed and breakfast owner in Vermont. A storm makes a branch go through her inn’s roof, and local neighbor, Joss, is there to help with repairs.

The story really was well done. Neither Nan or Joss were looking for love, but sometimes that’s exactly when two people find each other. I really appreciated how Nan could take care of herself, and she was so self sufficient. I appreciate that in a heroine. There were also some wonderful side characters, friends and neighbors, as well.

Contemporary romance fans will love this book!

Wow! This is my first book by Britt DeLaney and I really enjoyed it. I’m trying to read all my summery and sea adventure books quick before the fall gets here. DeLaney has talent; she has the ability to transport you to the story she laid out immediately when reading. I loved all the surprises along the way of Rina and Zephyr’s journey. I really appreciate the fact that I had no idea where the story was going and what was going to happen either. The book will keep you entertained and on your toes. So if you like sea-faring, fantasy romance, give this one a try!

Alessandra “Lexi” Masters is a librarian who gave up everything when her FBI agent father was murdered ten years ago. Suspecting a key player in the New York City underworld of the crime, she leaves the life she knows behind in order to pursue the truth. When she comes face-to-face with Giovanni Masseretti, a BDSM-loving Mafioso, she is burned awake from her numbness and must decide whether what she has found is worth the past she will be forced to lose. Told in cascading, split-POV perspective, Faultline allows the reader to see inside the hearts and souls of both Lexi and Giovanni.
