I have loved every Sarah Addison Allen book I've read and this one is no exception. Savory story telling combined with endearing, well developed characters, and just a hint of magic, make for the perfect read.

A skillful continuation of Tim's other books. Being in the service, in the ASA as Tim was, made this book even more enjoyable. Tim writes about situations that we all can relate to in our own lives. I highly recommend "Booklover" to all who enjoy a memorable, heartwarming true story.

Jan Dunlap has done it again...another page-turner featuring the endearing birder Bob White who just keeps stumbling into murder mysteries. I really enjoy these books. I read this one in pretty much one sitting. The recurring characters are charming. Each chapter ends with a cliffhanger successfully demanding the reader to continue. Dunlap so craftily leads us through multiple possibilities of who-done-it that you are driven to read the book to its conclusion so that the knot in your stomach can be untied. It is so fun to see respectably people that are birders portrayed as main characters, be it in books or movies.

I am always happy to hear of a new Beverly Lewis book because I know that I will take another trip to Lancaster County and meet more wonderful characters.  This one is one of her best.  Themes of forgiveness and reconciliation, both towards others and for oneself permeate the story.  Her books are always uplifting and inspiring and I can't wait for the next one.

June and Mason's story is so heartwarming yet sad and hopeful all at the same time.  I absolutely love this author's work and pre-purchase all of her work.  Thank you for showing us that no matter how tragic our pasts are, our future is bright.

Another stellar tome by Radclyffe. Her writing only improves with each book, though each and every one is a page turner. The reader cares about the characters and Radclyffe satisfies one's desire for life to turn out for the best and love to trump all.

Another wonderful addition to this series. It was great to visit again with the folks of Sweetgrass Springs and made me want to reread them all from the beginning. This book follows the lovely path and made me laugh and cry. An entertaining and touching read. If you haven't read any of this series, try this one and you'll want them all!

I love the Reed Brothers, Tammy's created this amazing and warm family and then the people who intersect in their life.

Carrie is spending the summer with her terminally ill mother who abandoned her when she was younger.  Nick lost his parent a few years ago and wishes he'd got to say goodbye.  These two find each other at the right time to support and love each other.

The Reeds come in as supporting characters but as always they make you feel at home.  You want to be a member of the Reed clan.

Touching story, get the tissues.

Must Love Dogs: Fetch You Later is a fabulous read that I loved as much or more than the first two books in the series.  Reading about the Hurlihy's feels like coming home - the book is comical but sweet at the same time.  Fetch You Later takes you into Sara's next journey with her relationship with John (both still not so sure), her job at the preschool with some very interesting characters, as well as, the always hysterical Hurlihy family.  The Dad (Billy) just gets crazier with no apologies - entertaining as always with his latest sweepstakes fixation.  The relationship between the siblings continues to entertain as they deal with each other and their Dad.  Claire makes these characters more interesting with every book - I'm so glad the journey with Sarah and the Hurlihy's continues on!!!

After reading the first book in the series 'The Widow Of Larkspur Inn',I couldn't wait to revisit the characters and the village Of Gresham.

Once again this author has amazed me with her ability to fill one novel with so much going on,while at the same time making it all flow so smoothly,as another reviewer stated. I did not get the feeling of 'jumping around too much',as some other books have made me feel. I'm not sure how she makes so much going on feel like such a fluid transition,but she succeeds,amazingly! The depth of coverage she gives her characters,make you feel as if you personally know them,that and the fact that readers can relate to so much that the characters experience.

Who hasn't experienced torment at the hands of bullies,or those in Cliques?Who hasn't experienced the sadness of a dear friend moving away,or shared the joy of a friend's joy,or feelings of insecurity,and feelings of hope? All those are covered here and so much more,as well.

We get to know the young woman Mercy Sanders,the only(so far)decent member of the village's most disreputable family who fears she will never be able to marry,since her widowed father and brothers will not allow anyone to court her for fear of losing their cook and housekeeper. Mrs. Kingston,a lodger at the Larkspur Inn comes to her rescue with a hilarious plan.

We also get to know some new characters. The heartwarming story of Seth Langford who moves to Gresham with Thomas, the 7 year old boy he adopted,and Lydia Clark,the 34 year old spinster school teacher who returns to her family in Gresham. Plus a man from the past. We will read more of Lydia Clark in book 3.

The non-romantic elements of the characters lives and happenings in Gresham are just as engrossing as they were in the first book.

This is such a wonderful series,the worst part is knowing that there are only two more books,and I am going to be so sad to have the series end! Yet I will always be glad that I was able to experience it.

I enjoy most of Jill Shalvis' books, and this one was no exception.  Always on My Mind is heartwarming and funny, and you were rooting for them right from the beginning. Jack and Leah a bring together two of my favorite book occupations (a man in uniform -- this time a firefighter, and a chef), and a supporting cast of neighbors, family, and friends who either will have their own books soon, or who were already featured in prior books.

Kevin is a Harlequin Great Dane, and a giant funny chicken.  He brings welcome humor into the story, and seems to help Jack determine who is a worthy mate just by sitting there, or greeting a woman!

I really enjoy serials, especially when you get updates in subsequent books. I am looking forward to reading all of the Lucky Harbor series.

To keep to the "seafood" theme for a "cooking" book from a Friends fan, He's her lobster!

This one was an all around feel good hea that will be a go to for prime re-read material. As always the author tells a fabulously entertaining story that compels you to turn the page until sadly the story is done and you want more.

Fantastic page turner. I read this book in 4 hours. Another well crafted story which was flawlessly delivered. Surely worth the wait.

Amazing author who pulls you in for the ride. She has become one of my top favorites, making the characters along with their thoughts and feelings very real and touching. Although, like life, there is sadness at times, it is still a "feel good" series.

I am a huge fan of Sandra Brown. Most of her books, I can't put down until I finish reading them. This was another good read by Ms. Brown. Another page turner! Somehow, Sandra Brown writes her books in such a way, that I can actually imagine myself in these towns that she describes, imagine the people, the environments. I love that her books draw me in like that. They feel so life like to me. I have been reading Sandra Brown since I was in high school, and she is undoubtably one of my favorite authors.
