The Miracle Tree by Davalyn Spencer Audible Version


I just finished listening to this Audible version by Davalynn Spencer.  It was really enjoyable and I enjoyed the romance, the storyline, and the characters so much. It was a western in today's time period, so not a "historical" western and was a book with plenty of action and enjoyable animals as well.

The narrator Michelle Dyan Whitehead did a nice job of telling the story and interpreting the characters.  I loved the voices she used and it was pleasant to listen to.

I received an Audible version from the author.  All thoughts are my own.

The Jam and Jelly Nook by Amy Clipston An Amish Marketplace Novel Book 4


 This is the conclusion of the series entitled An Amish Marketplace Novel.  Book 4 was a sweet book with members of the marketplace from prior books of the series which were fun to again meet and remember.  This was Leanna's story, a single mother who operates a booth at the Amish market and has a son that wasn't following Amish guidelines.

Emory is a widowed Amish man with a teen daughter.  As the paths of Leanna and Emory cross, they find they have much in common and they start a friendship.  But their feelings change, but due to misunderstandings, little lies and other outside influences, things just don't seem to work out as either had expected or hoped.

It's a sweet novel and has good family situations of learning to understand and listen to each other's needs and feelings.

I received an ebook copy from NetGalley.  All thoughts are my own.

A Second Chance for Love (A Sea Glass Bay Romance Book) By Anna J. Stewart, Kayla Perrin, Melinda Curtis & Cari Lynn Webb


This contemporary romance was a set of four novellas in anthology style as they connected to one another's lives and within each novella.  It was fun to have a book in a seaside location to set the mood for these romance stories yet each story was different and interesting to read.  It is nice how all the stories come together and leave a happy feeling at the end.

The four authors did a good job of weaving together their individual contributions to the book.  And each story transitioned smoothly to the next.  The characters were interesting and unique.  The women were strong and concerned of others.  Nice romantic stories that you will enjoy.

Kiss Me At Midnight by Melinda Curtis A Kissing Test Novel


 If you are in need of an enjoyable, light-hearted fun romance, this is the book for you!  I so much enjoyed the characters, Lilly, Judson and adorable Dotty!  Grandma Dotty will make you relax and have a great laugh.  And don't we all need some comic relief these days.

Their arrangement of  "convenience" to serve their specific purposes at the time is a fun segue  into a cute romance that will engage your interest throughout!  This is book 3 in the Kissing Test series.  It is truly enjoyable!

The Amish Secret Wish by Laura V. Hilton Hidden Springs Series book 3


 Such a cute and different Amish story!  Hallie is a scribe for an Amish newspaper and has to keep that under wraps, so to speak.  Through this means she becomes pen pals and gets to really know an Amish man, Hezekiah, AKA Kiah, who falls in love with "the scribe".  He is determined to meet her and marry this woman.  So they meet!  The rest you will need to find out on your own.

The book was a light and even funny at times, book!  I enjoyed it and I loved the sweet story.  I remembered some things from the previous book in the series that came to light in book 3, but it can easily be a stand-alone book.

Christmas With the Colburns by Keely Brooke Keith


 Although it isn't Christmas, I had this sweet book in my Audible Library and so I needed a nice book to listen to and it was very enjoyable.  This was a sweet story of family, and the true Christmas Spirit that we all look for at that time of year.

Lydia is a doctor and is surprised that her siblings didn't plan on visiting for the Holidays.  Very disappointed and her aunt gives her a journal that she had never seen before which her deceased mother wrote, when she, too, found sadness in her life.

Kate Fisher was the narrator and brought the characters to life.  A very nice read.
