Book Review: Soul of the Storm by Jean M. Grant

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!
