Review: Guiding Fate

Guiding Fate by Tamra Lassiter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this story. It is written from both Mel and Will's perspective so you know what each of them thinks. The suspense was great, really kept me wondering what would happen next. I loved the community spirit and the interaction among the characters. I can't wait to read Tamra's other books!

Review: Rest in Peach

Rest in Peach by Susan Furlong
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Absolutely loved this book. Loved the debutante rules at the beginning of each chapter, the look into what it is like living in the south, and learning what a cotillion was. Loved the characters and trying to figure out who did all the bad things and why. Loved the love interest stories, loved Mama, and just the whole feel of the story as it unfolded. I am going to have to get Peaches and Scream, and can't wait for War and Peach!!

Review: Off the Books

Off the Books by Lucy Arlington
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this cozy! The story has a lot of depth. I loved learning about each of the characters. The way each of the characters interacted felt really natural, not like some other fiction stories. The murder had me completely stumped until the very end. I loved her friendship with Makayla and the bridal expo events were great. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this and can't wait to read more by this author!

Review: The Promise of Rainbows

The Promise of Rainbows by Ava Miles
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This has to be the best book Ava has written. I could not believe how powerful the feeling and emotions came across from all the characters. It sure rang true from what I have heard others say of our veterans and if only others could be helped like Jake. I loved every aspect of this story from beginning to end - it is a must read!

Early One Morning by Aubree Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

All I have to say is WOW

I could not put this book down. I loved how all the different aspects of the story were presented and it kept me wanting to find out more.

Review: Covert Intents: A Branson Family Novella

Covert Intents: A Branson Family Novella by Janie Crouch
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Couldn't put it down

I absolutely loved this story. It grabbed my attention from the very beginning. The storyline was not too slow or too fast. It made you think and wonder who and why! I loved the twists and the interaction between Seth and Rachel. Janie Crouch has become one of my favorite authors and can't wait to read more of her books.

Review: Annie's Star Pasta and Chicken Soup

I enjoyed this soup, it had plenty of pasta and chicken bits and it was easy to prepare. I prefer a soup with a little more salt in it, but with saltine crackers it was really good. It seems like a really healthy soup. I will try other flavors by Annie's and am sure they will be just as good. 

You can find this and other flavors at http://www.annies.com. 

Influenster provided this complimentary product for me to test and review, but all opinions are my own.

Review: Pretty Dead

Pretty Dead by Anne Frasier
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I've read by this author. It's the type of book that once you start reading you don't want to put it down. I love how you learn more and more about each character as you read and the suspense of trying to figure out why these girls were killed and by whom. There are some side stories that add to the depth of the storyline. I will have to read the previous books in this series and can't wait to read the next one.

Review: Murder at Beechwood

Murder at Beechwood by Alyssa Maxwell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly loved this book! It had a lot of surprises and had me guessing all the way to the end. I loved how detailed everything was so that you understood how people in that class interacted with one another and what their roles were in that society. I felt like I was a fly on the wall and a part of the story, the detail was so clear. I will definitely read more by Alyssa Maxwell!! A fantastic mystery that will keep your attention!!

Review: Fireflies and Magnolias

Fireflies and Magnolias by Ava Miles

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Another FANTASTIC book by Ava! Such a powerful story. I loved how all the characters interacted and I could feel how they felt. This story brings a lot of emotion and depth. There were so many lines that just made me literally laugh out loud (got a lot of strange looks from co-workers) and yet other areas that made me cry. As it is stated, you can read these books as stand alone books, but you will want to read all of them to get to know everyone even better!

Review: Bentley Square

Bentley Square by Carol Ann Kauffman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



This is a great book with a great story line. It was very interesting "hearing" each characters thoughts when they saw someone and how they interact with each other. It was amazing when they actually did meet and talk to each other. I really enjoyed the suspense and once I got into the story I couldn't stop reading. The was a lot of detail to each of the scenes so you could almost picture yourself there.

Review: Secret Refuge

Secret Refuge by Dana Mentink

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Keeps you on the edge of your seat! I loved this story. I was guessing who the bad guys and who the good guys were from the very beginning. I found that the way this story was written made me feel like I was watching a movie, the detail was great. I had a hard time putting the book down when I had to go back to work because I wanted to know what happened next. Parts of the story had my heart racing, other parts made me cry, and there were lots of parts that made me smile. I can't wait to read more by Dana.

I absolutely loved this book. It provided just enough background on each character so that you felt like you knew why the current events happened without boring you. The emotions and love you feel throughout the book is amazing. Don't read this book hungry!! I wish I could be served by Chef T, especially the desserts!! The story line just grabs you and I had to keep reading to find out what happened next. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me feel so good at the end! I can't wait to read Ava's next book!!

This story is very well written, very true to life in my opinion. I found myself saying over and over, come on... give him a chance!! And the game of Truth or Date was fun to see which she'd choose and the outcome. I laughed, cried and smiled all the way through the book!! Can't wait to read the rest of this series!
