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!

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!

A pirate romance like no other!

Captain William Quinn is shipwrecked on the island of one of the most powerful and dangerous pirates, Captain Jian Jun. But why is Will silent and not speaking or reacting to sound? Jun soon realizes that Will is deaf and mute and figures out a way to communicate with him. While Will is desperately searching for word of any of his surviving crew, Jun and her crew are trying to figure out if Will is who he says he is; is he an enemy spy?

This is my first read by this author, and a great read it was! You’ll have no trouble imagining the story. The author has a true gift with words. I’m excited to read the previous book in the series!
