The Wishing Quilt by Jodi Thomas, Lori Wilde and Patience Griffin

Image
  πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– The Wishing Quilt by Jodi Thomas,  Lori Wilde,  and  Patience Griffin  is a lovely anthology of three wonderful stories each one revolving around quilting while finding love with a cowboy. Each story centers on each heroine needing a change, or shake-up, in their lives, helping them find what they were missing, not just the love of a good man, and setting them on a new path for their futures. The men they encounter, whether new or old, respected and fell in love with these ladies, providing exactly what they needed to become more confidence, secure, and to feel loved. I loved reading each of these sweet, cozy, small-town romances by three amazing authors who wrote wonderful stories for this anthology. Their stories brought the magic of quilting and how it leaves memories for future generations. I highly recommend the A Little Country Christmas anthology to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

The Beachside Bed and Breakfast by Hope Ramsay

Image
  πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– I loved Micah and Ashley’s story in The Beachside Bed and Breakfast by Hope Ramsey, book five in the Moonlight Bay series, is a heartwarming, feel good story with a theme of overcoming the past and moving forward. In a small coastal town in North Carolina a lot is going on; there is gossip, family drama on many fronts and good neighbors trying to lend a hand.   Ashley Scott has no time for romance. She is grieving the loss of her army husband, caring for her eleven-year-old son, Jackie, and running her bed and breakfast. Her friendship with Rev. Micah St. Pierre is beginning to feel like more. Micah is her church's pastor, single, and wants to get married; but is not allowed to date anyone in his congregation. After dating a local woman who doesn't attend his church, he decided to pop the question, although he doesn’t love her. She says no, in front of most of the town; embarrassing him. The local quilting club decides to do some matchmaking for him but Micah

Would You Rather by Allison Ashley

Image
  πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’” 4.5/5 - I loved Noah and Mia’s story in Would You Rather by Allison Ashley, a friends-to-lovers and fake relationship that was a heartwarming, feel-good romance. Noah and Mia have been best friends since they were seven. Each is deeply attracted to the other, but neither has ever acted on those feelings. When Mia gets the opportunity to go back to school to pursue the career of her dreams but needs her job's medical insurance, because of kidney disease, Noah proposes that the two get married. As Mia and Noah spend more time together, live under the same roof and display public signs of affection, they have a harder time hiding their feelings and start to see what was there all along. Ms Ashley wrote a wonderful childhood best friends to lovers romance filled with sizzling chemistry, practical jokes, humorous banter, all the “would you rather: games, and an understanding of one another that comes from a familiarity. Their marriage of convenience was used for medical rea

πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– Small Town, Big Magic by Hazel Beck was an amazing story that really made me think and wonder if this story could be true. A theme that ran through this story is that the right friends will always be there for you no matter what, as well as with the right friends and even family you can get through anything. Emerson Wilde’s life is devoted to improving St. Cyprian, the small town her family’s lived in for generations. The bane of her existence since childhood is Skip, the town’s mayor. Emerson discovers that there’s more to St. Cyprian, Skip, and herself than she realized. The magic is real. Emerson loves her town, fighting for what she believes in: making her town a better place. It’s hard to argue with her passion; especially she unexpectedly lands in the middle of something bigger than she can possibly comprehend. Emerson has a very close group of friends who are incredibly supportive and loving. Georgie and Ellowyn and Jacob and Zander are each different, unique, wonderf

An Amish Marriage of Convenience by Rachel Good

Image
  πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– An Amish Marriage of Convenience by Rachel Good, the fourth novel in her Surprised by Love series, is an inspiring and heartwarming tale of two people who are still affected by events from their childhood. This story is a compassionate romance about two lonely people and a promise for a brighter future.   The importance of forgiveness, including forgiving yourself, is a theme that appears throughout this book.   Nettie Hartzler is a widowed mother of four kids, living with her brother-in-law Gideon Hartzler and her Mother-in-law. Nettie feels very insecure with her living arrangements as in the past she lived in extreme poverty. She has done many things in her past that she is ashamed of and has kept many secrets from the Amish church. Lately Gideon has been seeing an Amish woman who works at his fried chicken/bakery stand in the Farmers Market. Nettie worries what will happen to her and her children if Gideon and Fern decide to marry. She will have to move and fears that he

Surrendering to Hunt by Jennifer Ryan

Image
πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’”   4.5/5 I loved Cyn and Hunt’s story in Surrendering to Hunt by Jennifer Ryan , book two in her Wyoming Wilde series, an enemies-to-lovers story with a bit of suspense. Beware trigger warning: a difficult topic is approached throughout this story, abusive relationships and the restrictions placed on the police who really want to help. Hunt Wilde is a local police officer for the town of Willow Fork; he plays everything by the book. Cyn Wilson is the purple haired, free spirit, owns and runs a beauty shop and lives her life to the fullest; as if everyday could be her last. Hunt has pulled Cyn over for speeding and issued her a ticket more times than she likes; wondering if he is trying to reform her. The two couldn't be any different than night and day. At some point in their interactions Cyn has gotten under Hunts skin, in a good way. Cyn’s sister, Angela, is abused by her boyfriend, Rad, who happens to be a childhood friend of Hunt. Cyn continues to try and convince

Much Ado about Dukes by Eva Devon

Image
πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– Much Ado about Dukes by Eva Devon, book two in her Never a Wallflower series, is an enjoyable, emotional, and wonderful story of two people, Will and Beatrice, who soon learn that all they once thought and assumed, after great consideration, is not quite what they believed. Never get married, but they do so to protect Beatrice. Never fall in love, but they do, despite promising not to. Influence Parliament to overturn the rules that make women property, with no rights. Hmmm, working on it.   This story follows Lady Beatrice Haven and William Easton, the Duke of Blackheath as they gather to celebrate an upcoming wedding between Beatrice’s cousin Will’s brother. Ss happy as Beatrice is for her cousin, she is also frustrated because she has repeatedly mailed letters to Will and has received no response. Beatrice is intelligent, passionate, and a bluestocking who doesn’t want to marry and lose her independence. Determined to fight for the voiceless, her drive to fight for wom

  πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– A Search for Redemption by Jo Ann Brown, book three in the Secrets of Bliss Valley series, is an emotional, tug at your heart strings, sweet Amish romance. In this sweet, heartwarming story which focuses on redemption, forgiveness and love as we discover what happened to Joel Beachy after leaving his Amish community.

Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood

Image
⭐⭐⭐⭐★   4.5/5 Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood, is a workplace romance between two rivals who end up co-leading a project together at NASA; with a You've Got Mail twist. This wonderful, humorous, and heart-warming story is in tune with the difficulties for women in STEM world; whether studying, researching, or working. Bee KΓΆnigswasser is a neuroscientist who just landed her dream job working alongside NASA engineers. Just one little hiccup; she’ll be co-leading this project with Levi Ward, someone Bee remembers from grad school, and they’re not fond memories at all. She’s always felt he despised her from first sight, for some unexplainable reason. This was going to be interesting. Bee and Levi were going to have to put their feelings and pride aside in order to work together. Maybe this time Levi can give her a chance where they might find some common ground. Bee was quirky, smart, and fearless, while Levi was a gigantic cinnamon roll beneath his inability to properly funct
