The Beachside Bed and Breakfast by Hope Ramsay

 

💖💖💖💖💖

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 only has romantic feeling for Ashley.  Since Ashley is member of his church, Micah is unable to share his feelings with Ashley, who is starting to realize that she is interested in Micah; but he tells her they can't date by church edict. Micah will need to re-examine his priorities and make decisions regarding his future and whether or not Ashley can be part of that plan. There is some wonderful interaction with Micah's brothers, who live in town, and the rest of his extended family. Ashley's son Jackie is being bulled at school and feels his mother is neglecting him; needing some adult mentoring. There is a second romance running throughout this story between Micah’s brother Colton and Kerri, along with their involvement with helping Danny, a troubled orphaned teen. The Beachside Bed and Breakfast is a heartfelt story with learning what is important in life which I highly recommend to other readers.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

💖💖💖💖 /5   Snowball Unwrapped by Kristen McKanagh, book four in the Snowball series, isn’t so much about Snowball the resident cat, it’s about the budding romance assisted by the imaginative and crafty cat. Snowball, you see, has a gift no other cat has: the gift of matchmaking.
