The premise is undeniably promising, and it kicks off with a strong start. The vivid descriptions of Greece—its people, food, and stunning sights—were exceptional. I felt as though I could pack my bags and book a flight right to the…

The Honeystone Village Diaries by Kate Forster | Book Review
From the moment I found myself laughing on the first page, I sensed potential in this book. However, I wondered if this initial charm would endure. A rare wind swept through the village, situated on the less-traveled side of the…
A Class Act by Julie Houston | Book Review
From the moment I encountered Robyn, I was captivated by her relentless determination to excel in everything she undertook. Her understandable cynicism, particularly when faced with the uber-wealthy Fabian Carrington, added depth to her character. Robyn was fiercely proud of…
Life Begins at 50! by Celia Anderson | Book Review
As Kate’s fiftieth birthday approaches, she can’t help but notice that her life is distinctly lacking in color – and not just in her wardrobe, where indigo seems to have taken over. As many of us who have crossed or…

New Beginnings at Wildflower Lock by Hannah Lynn | Book Review
This author is new to me and the book was good. However, there was nothing to indicate that this was going to end in a cliffhanger. Cliffhangers drive me up the wall, which is why I took off a star….
Happy Ever After for the Cornish Midwife by Jo Bartlett | Book Review
I will say having read only the first and the last books of the series I was able to read this one just fine. It may help some to read them all in order to understand all of the characters…
The Golden Oldies’ Book Club by Judy Leigh | Book Review
We begin with Jeannie who is seventy-two and living with her ninety-five-year-old mother Violet. She also has her teenage grandchildren staying with her as they are finishing up school. She has a lot going on but one bright spot is…
The Placeholder by Lynda Wolters | Book Review
Before I start my review I want to say that some will not find this book for them. Sera, the main female character, is a bit of a hussy at one point in the book. She is pouring through men…
The Girl of Lost Petals and Possibilities by Laura Briggs | Book Review
I didn’t read A Little Hotel in Cornwell which is where Maisie Clark finds her happy ending. So I went into this book knowing nothing about the characters. After reading this though I think I need to go back and…
