Review: "So, This Is Christmas" by Tracy Andreen

I was very excited about this book, knowing it was written by the screenwriter of Snow Bride, one of my favorite Hallmark movies of all time. But Hallmark this ain't...

Review: "Unpacking Christmas" by Beth K. Vogt

I've really enjoyed the books I read in the Thatcher Sisters series, so of course I wanted to read the new Christmas novella!

Review: "The Plans We Made" by Kathryn Cushman & Lauren Beccue

The Plans We Made is a beautiful story about finding love and belonging in the midst of life's trials.

Review: "His Love Revealed" by Cynthia Herron

I just love books set in small towns, don't you? There's just something so "Hallmarky" about a small-town romance.

Review: "The London Restoration" by Rachel McMillan

The aftermath of World War II. Spies. Romance. Sounds like a recipe for a great story!

Review: "At Love's Command" by Karen Witemeyer

Fans of western romance are sure to love Karen Witemeyer's latest novel, At Love's Command!

Review: "The Wait Will Not Be Wasted" by Lauren Lianne

This year, I decided I wanted to read more nonfiction ... but I'm pretty picky about nonfiction, as I don't want to get bored! It definitely needs to be something that will either be enjoyable (like a celebrity memoir) or applicable to where I am in life. So when an invitation to review The Wait Will Not Be Wasted, written by a thirty-something single woman, landed in my inbox, I took a chance ... because I am also a thirty-something single woman 🙂

Review: "A Gift to Cherish" by Victoria Bylin

I read (and loved!) Victoria Bylin's When He Found Me last year (my review), so I was eager to read the second book in the Road to Refuge series, A Gift to Cherish.

Review: "The Way of the Brave" by Susan May Warren

Anytime Susan May Warren releases a new book, my reaction is "yes, please!" It's a no-brainer! And since she's such a prolific writer, it feels like I constantly have a new book of hers to read ... and I'm certainly not complaining about that 😀.

Review: "Collateral Damage" by Lynette Eason

Fans of fast-paced suspense won't want to miss this new series from Lynette Eason!

Review: "It Happened at Christmas" by Christen Krumm

Really, this book had me at "YA spin on While You Were Sleeping" ...

Review: "The End of the Magi" by Patrick W. Carr

As we approach Christmas, we often think of Jesus' birth, of Mary and Joseph, of the angels, and even of the shepherds. But what of the magi? I admit I don't often think of them—except to insist that the wise men in my nativity set must remain separate from the rest because they didn't show up until Jesus was a toddler.

Patrick W. Carr's The End of the Magi shines a fictional light on these mysterious men and helps the reader see the Christmas story in a new way.

Review: "Protecting Tanner Hollow" by Lynette Eason

If you're looking for a quick, suspenseful read, this novella collection could be just the ticket!

Review: "Practically Married" by Karin Beery

I am a sucker for the marriage of convenience trope. It's very common in historical romance, but I don't often see it done well in contemporary romance (it often feels quite contrived). Still, I'm always ready to try out a modern marriage of convenience romance, so of course Practically Married appealed to me.

Review: "Diamond in the Rough" by Jen Turano

If you're looking for a lighthearted rom-com set during the Guilded Age, Diamond in the Rough is the book for you!

Review: "Love and Other Mistakes" by Jessica Kate

I just love the trend of illustrated covers for romance novels! As soon as I saw the cover of Love and Other Mistakes, I added it to my TBR ... doesn't it look so fun?

Review: "One of the Girls" by Robin Daniels

As you surely know by now, clean, cheesy YA romances are my jam ... even though I'm now technically old enough to be the mother of all of the characters. (Seriously, how did that happen???)

I'd never read anything by Robin Daniels before picking up this book, but it was offered for review in one of my clean romance groups, so I took a chance ...

Review: "The Noble Guardian" by Michelle Griep

Michelle Griep's Bow Street Runners series concludes with The Noble Guardian.

Review: "Ornamental Graces" by Carolyn Astfalk

Every February, my library does a "blind date with a book," where books are all wrapped in brown paper and some hints about the book are written on the outside. While I've never participated, I've always been curious, so when I was given the opportunity to sign up for a blind tour through JustRead, I decided to do it.
