Charming Book!

SUMMER SEASON ON THE SEAFRONT by Katie Ginger Published June 10, 2019 by HQ Digital 4 STARS I enjoyed this book immensely. Sarah has had rotten luck with boyfriends. She yearns for Finn, the doctor she works for, to notice her. And she loves performing with the Greenley Players, where she's playing the lead in The Tempest. She's having a hard time getting into the character. There is a lot more to Sarah than meets the eye. She is estranged from her dad. He was in prison when her dear mother died, and she can't forgive him for that. Nate, an actor who is in hiding, ends up in Greenley-on-Sea. He agrees to help the cast with their production to take his mind off his worries. He works one-on-one with Sarah to help her understand the character, as well as figure out why she's struggling with it. Will Finn finally make a move on Sarah, or will Sarah begin to have feelings for Nate? I won't go into a lot of detail, but this was a charming book. I must thank NetGa

REVIEW - Set the Night on Fire (Cottonbloom #6) by Laura Trentham

SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE by LAURA TRENTHAM Publisher: St. Martin's Press 7/31/2018 I haven’t read the first 5 books in this series, but I will definitely be doing that, and soon! LOVED this book, and everything about it. First, you have Ella Boudreaux, who is just out of a disastrous marriage and has invested in the Abbott brother’s garage. She has fond memories of the garage, and Ford Abbott sold his share of the garage to her. His brother, Mack, was very unhappy about the deal. What happens when Ella and Mack cross paths? Will they be able to work together? And what happens when sparks start to fly? Very enjoyable book, the first I’ve read from this author. It won’t be the last! I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

REVIEW - The President is Missing by James Patterson and Bill Clinton

The President is Missing James Patterson and Bill Clinton June 4, 2018 Little, Brown and Company 5 STARS WOW! What a book. It took me about 100 pages to get in to it - so much being set up; but from then on it was hard to put down. And the last chapter before the epilogue? Every American should read it. Democrat. Republican. Independent. Everyone! It was that powerful. Scary book and unfortunately something that is all too real. Must read!

REVIEW - Before and Again by Barbara Delinsky

4 Stars St. Martin's Press Release date: June 26, 2018 I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I've been reading Delinksy's books for years, and she's always an author I can count on for a good read. This book is no exception. I did find it a little harder to get into than previous books, it seemed a bit disjointed at first. Thus 4 stars instead of 5. The book is about Mackenzie Cooper, who moved to a small town to lose herself and get away from a tragic occurrence in her life. It delves deeply into the despair of losing a child (this happens at the very beginning so it's not a spoiler) and what happens between the spouses who are having trouble communicating their pain. It also deals with Mackenzie's mother and brother, and their estrangement. Suddenly, Mackenzie's ex-husband appears, in HER town, HER haven. Can they find their way back together, or is the past too painful to forget?
