Thanks to this book for almost short circuiting my treadmill. The last 20% of the book was a tear fest.
Emma and Justin start their romance as a joke since for both all their exes immediately found the one after them. Their plan was to go on a date 4 times and “breakup” and find their soul mates. Funny how the universe works.
Get a copy today to find out how their romance unfolds.
The Friend Zone is still my top favorite but Just for Summer only lost that spot by a hair.
An enjoyable visit with The Hope Street Bible study class. A perfect read to get you in the fall holiday spirit. We start out at Halloween time and end at Christmas. Thanksgiving is even represented for a few pages.
The Bible study group tries out for roles in the local production of It’s a Wonderful Life. A hot shot director as agreed to direct the play which has the group excited. Maybe if the play is successful enough the senior center can get the bus that will transport shut in’s to the place of worship. Unfortunately, the battle ax assistant to the director is murdered. Can Cooper solve the murder before joining Clarence Odbody in the heavenly sky?
A clean cozy mystery with faith and scripture sprinkled throughout.
I finished this book this morning and I’m still not sure if I liked it or not.
Likes: the true look at hospice, the feelings families and friends experience while a loved one is in hospice
Dislikes: the writing style (I found it choppy and disjointed), Ash (always self-centered)
It brought to mind memories regarding both my parents who had separate hospice experiences. Hospice nursing takes a special kind of person.
This was a short read (217 pages) and is available on Kindle Unlimited at this time.
This is one of my favorite cozy mystery culinary series. Started in the middle and went back to the beginning and over the last few years have stayed current.
The series is set in beautiful Key West which is full of character and characters. It is full over sass especially when Miss Gloria gets involved. She is my absolute favorite character. Nathan has grown on me.
The Mango Murders revolves around everything mangoes and a boat explosion that almost took out half the cast.
A perfect read for the last few days of summer.
The ending is perfect and will leave you hungry for more.
I adored this book and even more so once I read the afterword. A fictional story set during WWII on Martha’s Vineyard but loosely based on actual events and history. A dual timeline but the majority is set in the 1940s.
A book for anyone who enjoys historical fiction and strong female characters.
A new to me #cozymysteryseries from @julieannehatcher that I read and listened to over the past few weeks.
Let me say if you are friends with Patience Price you need a bullet proof vest and a paid up health insurance policy. Enter into the friendship at your own risk!
Plus her parents shop is called The Purple Pony and I couldn’t help but sing The Pink Pony Club song every single time.
Set on an island off the Virginia coast.
Oh, this book almost made it to the most favorite of the Abby books. The Friend Zone is still in the top spot by a hair.
Briana and Jacob’s story will melt the hardest of hearts. The raw, open emotion of Jacob makes one realize men go through the same insecure we women do. Lieutenant Dan, Jacob’s dog, could have been a scene stealer if given the chance.
Be prepared for lots of laughs but keep the tissues near.
All the stars for a perfect book and a perfect day!
We will start with I was panicked when I realized this was due back to Libby at 10:29 tonight! I mentioned to hubby and he said to take the day and read. And I did. I don’t remember the last time I read a 400+ page book in one day.
This book was perfect. Enemies ➡️ Friends ➡️ Lovers. I connected with Josie on many levels except for one. I love reading romance books and I’m not ashamed to say so. Always have and always will. My love for romance novels came from my mamaw and mama. They loved those “bodice rippers.” I can see my papaw “Cuba what the heck are you reading? It’s got a half naked man on the cover!” Her response, “oh you hush now Ray.”
The banter between Josie and Ryan/RJ was entertaining. You just wanted to keep reading to see what would be said next.
There is spice in the last part and it is 🥵🌶️. Let’s just say Ryan puts his reading to good use. 🤣.
Thank you sweetheart for knowing what I needed today. You always do.
This book was emotional. You will experience anger, laughter, hope, and sadness. Without giving a spoiler there will be a chapter that will have you sobbing. If it doesn’t then check your heart it may be broken.
Alexis finds herself back in 2002 which was the end of one direction of her life and the beginning of a new direction. She quickly realizes she wants to change her life for the better. Unfortunately, she has to figure out who the problem is. Is it Lexi, her college self, or Alexis, the struggling adult.
I’m not ok after THE chapter I mentioned before. Excuse me while I go sob in private.
Another winner for me. I’m rolling through the Abby books this summer.
A sweet and romantic take on the trope rich girl and poor boy fall in love.
The opening scene is hilarious. You have spanx, a raccoon, and an almost deserted town. Alexis finds herself immediately falling in love with Daniel knowing their worlds will never mesh. Daniel has no clue who she really is and finds himself dreaming of a happily ever after. Can they make it work?
First I suggest reading Abby’s books in order as there are Easter eggs to previous books in each one. Some are(or were to me) light bulb moments. The sign up for Abby’s newsletter to get the chapter that bridges the books Life’s Too Short and this one. Chef’s kiss of a bridge!
