Summer’s Desire by Kathleen Ball

Written By
Summer’s Desire by Kathleen Ball was an amazing book. From the first page right up to the last page I didn’t want to put it down. I loved the characters and I think more than that I loved the authors way with words and how she made me feel like I was part of the story. I instantly loved Summer and felt so bad for the things that happened to her throughout the book. I also really liked Holden. I did spend part of the book wondering about his past and what they had been through but after I read a good part of the book I no longer cared what happened in the past. I loved the ending of this book and if you love romance book than this one will be right up your alley.

5 Oct
Written By
Regrets Only by M.J. Pullen was hard for me to get into. After I got through the first few chapters it picked up. I have to say at times I was annoyed by Suzanne but I think it is because in real life I don’t like people like her. I really did feel bad for her through parts of the book as well because of some of the crazy things that happen to her. The author does a great job of making you understand the characters and makes you feel like you are there with them. If you love romance novels then I would check this one out but make sure you give it a few chapters before you decide if you like it or not.
About Regrets Only
Contemporary Romance
Date Published: July 2012
Regrets Only is the second book in the Marriage Pact series, but it can be enjoyed by those who have read The Marriage Pact and first-time readers alike. A fast-paced and charming story, Regrets Only centers on Marci’s picky best friend, Suzanne, whose event-planning skills are almost as legendary as her exploits with men.
At thirty-three, Suzanne Hamilton has it all. A successful party-planning business with an elite client list. A swank condo in a hot Atlanta neighborhood and a close group of friends – especially her longtime best friend Marci. A list of men a mile long who have tried to win her heart and failed. Plus, she’s just landed the event that will take her career and social status to the next level. What could she possibly have to regret?
Then a freak accident changes everything, and Suzanne discovers that her near-perfect life is just a few steps away from total disaster. She is humiliated and at risk of losing it all… except the surprising support of her newest celebrity client. With nothing else to go on, Suzanne follows him into an unexpected job and unfamiliar territory. Soon she will question everything – her career, her past, her friendships, and even her own dating rules.
But when her catalog of past relationships turns into a list of criminal suspects, she is faced with the horrifying possibility that she may not live to regret any of it…
About M.J. Pullen
When she’s not chasing two little boys or trying to wipe something sticky off the floor, M.J. (Manda) Pullen is the bestselling author of two contemporary women’s fiction novels: The Marriage Pact (2011) and Regrets Only (2012). She is working on several new projects as well, including more women’s fiction and a YA paranormal adventure series.
M.J. grew up in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. Writing has always been a big part of her life, both professionally and personally. She studied English Literature and Business at the University of Georgia in Athens, and later Professional Counseling at Georgia State University in Atlanta. She practiced psychotherapy for five years before taking a sabbatical to spend more time writing and raising her brood. Since high school, she has also been an executive assistant, cashier, telemarketer, professional fundraiser, marketing guru, magazine writer, grant-writer, waitress, box-packer, HR person, and casual drifter.
M.J. loves creating true-to-life characters who are flawed, relatable, and most importantly redeemable.

She reads and writes across many genres, and learns something from everything she does. No matter what she’s writing, M.J. believes that love is the greatest adventure there is, and that hopeless romantics are never really hopeless.
After years traveling and living in places like Portland, Oregon, and Austin, Texas, M.J. has now returned to her home city of Atlanta (actually Roswell, for hard-core Roosevelt fans and connoisseurs of suburban culture), where she lives with her husband and two young sons. She loves to hear from readers and other writers – so drop her a line!

Written By
After the Fall by Ariadne Wayne was a great book. It took me the first chapter before I really got into the book but once I got hooked I didn’t stop reading until I had finished reading it. This book was only 137 pages so it was on the shorter side and I have to say that I was sad because I really did enjoy the characters and the authors writing. This book follows along with Natalie and Alex as they have a fling that turns into something more. The plot was pretty predictable to me but I still loved the book and I can’t wait to check out more books by her in the future.

Written By
I received the first 2 books in the Home To Heather Creek to review and I have to say that I loved both of the books. I am going to talk about the books on their own so that you can decided if you want to read either of them or both of them. In the Before The Dawn you get to see the struggles of teenagers and their mothers parents who have stepped up to raise the children after their daughter and the children’s mother was killed. I have to say that I really loved the first book. There are parts where I was bored and I think could have been cut out but all in all I was a good book and I was excited to see what happened in the next book. Sweet September starts at the end of summer just as the kids are going back to school. I have to say that I loved this book more than I liked the first one and I am not sure why. I know this one was written by a different author and I think that may have something to do with it. I hope there are more books in this series because I love these characters and I was sad when I finished this book.
About The Books
Before the Dawn
Before the Dawn begins just one week after the funeral of Charlotte’s daughter, Denise. Denise’s three children barely have time to process the death of their mother before they must move to the Heather Creek Farm they have never visited with grandparents they barely know. At age 16, Sam is fiercely protective of his younger siblings. Emily is 14 and desperately misses her friends. Young Christopher is only 8 and just wants to fit in. While Charlotte tries to help her grandchildren adjust to their new life, she also wrestles with her own grief and the enormous task of bringing her family together. Bob believes the fastest path to adjustment is a firm routine, with structure and chores, the same way they raised their own kids. However, that route led to Denise running away from home as a teenager and an estranged relationship with her family. Charlotte is worried about making the same mistakes she made with Denise. Is this her chance to make things right?
It is spring when the children arrive, and as Charlotte looks around the farm, she hopes the new life around them will signify hope and healing. The miracle of new life, along with God’s healing touch, reminds all of them that it’s always darkest just before the dawn.
Sweet September
Sweet September picks up at harvest time, as the children are settling into a new school year. While the harvest should be an exciting time, the children don’t seem to be getting into the spirit. Emily is struggling with farm life, Christopher spends most of his time alone, and Sam is failing school. Trying to learn from what did and didn’t work with her own kids, Charlotte is determined to get her grandchildren back on track.
As tenuous family bonds threaten to break apart, a mystery on the farm might be the one thing that can bond the family together. Charlotte sets out to uncover the truth, and as the kids unite to find answers, this cobbled-together family learns more about one another and the love that binds them together.
The lives of the Stevensons and their grandchildren unfold in this captivating story of the remarkable change that comes from the love of family, the kindness of others, sheer persistence and unshakable faith. As readers follow the Stevensons’ inspiring stories, it’s almost impossible not feel a part of this friendly, loving community, where God’s grace can be seen in every circumstance.
