Book Review: Christmas in Angel Harbor by Jeannie Moon

Besides the beautiful cover, this is really a great story about two middle-aged adults who find love with each other. Jane and Dan were once friends in their small town when they were young. But as life is, Dan moved on and out of town and became a hugely successful best selling author. And Jane took over her family’s bookstore and stayed put in town, due to a death in the family.

Something happens to drive Dan back to town to visit his family, and he ventures to his old hangout, the bookstore. Jane and Dan reconnect and, well, that’s all I’ll say on the plot. 🙂

I really enjoyed this book. I love a strong independent heroine, which Jane is. And I appreciate how they both know what they want, and can communicate to each other. It really is refreshing to read about a middle aged couple finding love too.

So if you’re looking for a cozy small town read, definitely give this a try!

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: 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!

Christmas is coming and what better way to get in the mood then with a Christmas romance! This was my first Peggy Jaeger book but won’t be my last. Sasha quit her nursing job and is working back home at her family’s diner when she eventually bumps into customer Steve. There’s the perfect amount of mystery about why Sasha quite her nursing job and about why she’s having so much anxiety in certain situations. I appreciate how Steve considers Sasha’s boundaries and she doesn’t have to tell him things twice. I really enjoyed this book because it was just the right amount of everything. Not too fluffy, not too deep, just a perfect Christmas romance. So if you’re looking for your next Christmas romance book…here it is!
