“Rosemary Cottage” by Colleen Coble

RosemaryCottage-e1365807450537

 “Rosemary Cottage” by Colleen Coble is a sweet book.  From the minute I started the book I didn’t want to put it down and I can’t say why.  There was just something about this book that kept me reading right through to the end of it.  I love the mystery that is going on through the book and I hoped the Amy and Curtis would end up together in the end because they seemed like such a sweet couple.  I am not going to give away the ending but this was a great book and if you are looking for a fun mystery/romance you will love this one!

About The Book

Amy came to Rosemary Cottage to grieve, to heal, maybe even find love. But there’s a deadly undertow of secrets around Hope Island . . .

The charming RosemaryCottage on the beach offers Amy Lange respite she needs to mourn her brother, Ben. She’s even thinking of moving her midwife practice to the Outer Banks community. It’s always been a refuge for her and her family. She also wants to investigate Ben’s disappearance at sea. Everyone blames a surfing accident, but Amy has reason to wonder.

Coast Guard officer Curtis Ireland has lost a sibling too. His sister, Gina, was run down by a boat, leaving him to raise her infant daughter. If anyone knew who little Raine’s father was, Curtis could lose his beloved niece. Yet he can’t help being drawn to Hope Beach’s new midwife, Amy. He even agrees to help her investigate what happened to both Ben and Gina.

Can two grieving people with secrets find healing on beautiful Hope Island? Or will their quest for truth set them at odds with each other . . . and with those who will go to any length to keep hidden things hidden?

A Few Books

What I Am Reading

So this week for the Writers Workshop one of the prompts was to write a book review and since I am always doing book reviews I figured I would just list a few of the posts from the past few weeks so you can check them out if you are new or may have missed them.

Those are just a few of the books I have been reading this past month or so.  I do want to say that I have a review for a book that will be live on Monday and it is by far the best book I have read in a long time.  If you love books like the Hunger Games & Divergent I know you will love this book!  So be on the lookout for that post on Monday!

I am always on the lookout for books to read so what books have you been loving?

A Bride For All Seasons

FTC:I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

a-bride-for-all-seasons-e1363648696248

A Bride For All Seasons was a super fun book to read. This was a super cute book! I loved that each of the stories were short and it made the book seem to fly by. I also loved how each story was written by a different author. I loved all 4 of the stories and I was sad when each of them ended. I think my favorite one was “Winter Wedding Bells” because I couldn’t help but laugh at David and how he was convinced he was going to die. All the stories are super sweet and I can’t wait to check out some of the other books the authors have written.

The Quarryman’s Bride by Tracie Peterson

The Quarryman's Bride by Tracie Peterson

The Quarryman’s Bride by Tracie Peterson was a super cute book!  I read this book in a day and a half. I loved the main character Emmalyne and I hoped through the whole book that she would end up with Tavin. From the start of the book I didn’t like her father at all but I hoped that by the end of the book he would see how much he family loves him and let Emmalyne marry Tavin. I felt like I was there with the characters and I understood how Emmalyne felt a lot of the time. I love Tracie Peterson’s writing and this book didn’t let me down. If you love her writing and I know you will love this book as well.

About The Book

The latest book in theLand of Shining Waters series.

Peterson Hits theBestseller Lists Again and Again!

Emmalyne Knox and Tavin MacLachlan were destined to be together . . . until the tragic deaths of Emmalyne’s youngest sisters. Family tradition mandates that the youngest daughter should remain single to care for her parents in their old age, and now that daughter is Emmalyne. Her father unyielding, Emmalyne surrenders to her duty, heartbroken. Tavin leaves town, equally devastated.

Years later, Emmalyne’s family moves, and she and Tavin meet again. Their feelings for each other are as strong as ever, but their painful past and Emmalyne’s father still stand between them. Soon both families are in the midst of the growing conflict rising between theworkers at the granite quarry that Tavin’s father owns and operates. When a series of near-fatal accidents occur, Tavin must figure out who is behind the attacks before someone gets killed.

Bound by obligation, yet yearning for a future together, can Emmalyne and Tavin dare to dream that God could heal a decade-long wound and change the hearts of those who would stand in the way of true love?

Pennsylvania Patchwork by Kate Lloyd

PPatchworkcover

Pennsylvania Patchwork by Kate Lloyd was a super cute and fun read.  It was another one that once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down.  I loved the characters and I loved watching Kate try and figure out what to do and who was the right person for her to marry.  This was definitely a different book but that made it that much more appealing to me.  I loved how she didn’t grow up amish but that she embraced the lifestyle and loved it.  I am not sure I could do the same thing if I were in Kate’s shoes.  The only thing I didn’t like about the book was who she chose in the end but other than that I can’t say anything bad about this book!

About The Book

Seattle native Holly Fisher is smitten by Lancaster County, its simplicity and her long lost relatives. In the sequel to bestselling Leaving Lancaster, Holly embraces the Amish culture, learning to slow down to see what — and who — really matters.

Meeting the family that her mother had kept hidden from her, Holly comes face to face with her real life and blood legacy. She also falls for the charming Zach, a handsome Mennonite veterinarian who is everything she’s ever wanted in a husband: confident, kind, successful, and authentic. And Zach proposes marriage. Is this too soon? Is this the right choice? Mother and Amish grandmother think she’s rushing into too much of a lifestyle change. Holly is in love with Zach and that precludes everything. Until she meets an attractive Amish man. And an old suitor shows up.

Pennyslvania Patchwork is the moving, richly told story of one woman’s heart, her faith and trust, and the choices she makes. Never easy, but one choice can change your destiny.
