Such a sweet story. I loved the characters, and the connection between Hannah and her sister that developes as the story progresses. Isaac was an unusual male lead but I am so glad we got to see the depth and strength of his sweet spirit. Would love to know more of this gentle family

Sweet novella that brings two really lonely young people to the realization that they do need someone, but not just anyone.  Aunt Mini is a very wise lady and one with so much love to give.  Delightful quickie to put a smile on your face and a song in your heart.

This was a free read and since those are hit and miss for me, I was very happy to find I really liked this one. It is a very sweet story about a very ugly life that was heaped on Nathan until he found Sebastian on the street.

I loved that these two healed each other, while we didn't really see how Sebastian was before Nathan we got enough of a glimpse to know that he was healed almost as much as Nathan with this relationship, although in a different way.

There were some brutal, although not overly graphic (I have read worse) details about all Nathan went through and they may be too much for some people but the fact is these things do happen so I am glad to see the author shed some light on it while writing a story about healing. Sure there were things that can be nitpicked to death about this story but it was sweet and had some real life issues in them, it would be nice if those issues could be overcome for everyone the way they were in this story.

Youll Think of Me by Robin Lee Hatcher was a sweet, engaging story filled with picturesque small town scenes and events that made me feel like I was there. I loved the community that Ms. Hatcher developed in this book. It had a very realistic small-town feel, from thoughtful scenes where members of the community came together to support their own to the not as pleasant characteristic of small towns where rumors can spread like wildfire. The mostly pleasant aspects of the community and the way they stepped in to help and encourage each other was a wonderful part of the book that I loved. Ruth (Dereks grandmother), in particular, was one of the characters that made me feel welcomed into the story as I read. Through her character and a few others, the book delivered some powerful moments of wisdom. The flow of the book itself feels as though it has that laid-back small-town pace, only adding to the pleasantness of the story.

When we enter into Brooklyns story, shes already been through a lot of change in her life, including finding her Savior, gaining courage, and maturing a great deal. I would have loved to have seen that change as it happened, but those changes can still be appreciated even though the reader is not present for them. Like any of us, though Brooklyn has changed much from her youth, especially after being introduced to the Lord, she is still undergoing change. Her faith is still being challenged and shes growing more fully into it throughout the book, especially as she has to come face to face with her past. Through the work of the Lord, she learns more of how to overcome her past and not let it overcome her.

Facing the past is most often not an easy thing, but its important to our healing, and though Brooklyn did not have plans to go back to the hometown she came from, God knew what was best for her and made a way for her to find what He knew she needed. I loved that aspect of this book. Both Brooklyn and Derek have other plans in mind for themselves, but God sends them on a detour from those plans that turns out to be infinitely better than they could have imagined for themselves. The book concludes with a sweet ending that just might make you tear up (in a good way :)) and just might speak to your own heart about who you are in the Fathers eyes and remind you of just how much He loves you and that He has the best in mind for you.

I loved this sweet, little novella. I'm always impressed when writers can pack the intensity of a full-length novel into a condensed novella, and this is a great example of that!

My heart went out to the main character, Emma. I found her motivation to be believable. The emotions she wrestled with were authentic and real, too. Her romance with Jake was exquisitely sweet, too.

This book was a perfect blend of sweet, funny, and thought-provoking. I truly enjoyed it and its message.

I enjoyed this sweet, gentle story about a young Amish woman named Bess who faces quite the conundrum when she realizes that Billy, the man she has never stopped loving, has arrived back at Rose Hill Farm. That in itself would be an interesting story. But, this just gets better and better. Bess has to decide how Billys return affects her relationship with Amos, the man she is to marry in a matter of days!

I really liked the subtle way the author allowed the reader to have glimpses into these characters recent pasts to tell this story. It was not confusing at all. It was very clear when something was a flash back in time. This was a great way to help the reader slowly understand the relationships and problems that caused Billy to leave the Amish community in the first place.

I appreciated that there was not a simple fix to the situations. There was confusion over what had happened, hearts that were hurting, and things that needed to be said. The overall theme of God being faithful even when we are not was a beautiful one, as was the story of the mysterious rose that brought Billy back to the fold. I enjoyed watching Billy and Bess slowly learn to reconnect with each other over this flower, and the character of George added to the sense of wonder of the season. This was a nice, sweet story for Christmas.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Loved this little garden tale!  It was sweet and tender. A strong metaphor for relationships with people in the real world outside garden walls.

This story was so sweet. I love all the Viscoli references, and it got me really excited to read Hallee's new series coming out. Everything tied together so beautifully, and I really got the Christmas warm-fuzzies while I was reading it. I wish it was longer, but then again, I say that about all of Halle's books no matter how long they are. Bottom line, this book made me smile. -Amy J

Aw this book was so sweet and adorable.  I loved the way the writing flowed easily and it was a quick and enjoyable read.  Its tough when things happen unexpectedly but sometimes really they are just meant to be.  Coleen Kwan kept me interested from the very beginning and has definitely left me wanting more from other characters as well.

We meet Derek who is back in town to take care of his grandfather, one thing leads to another and he runs into his best friends sister.  He just so happened to have a major crush on her when they were kids, its always adorable to see crushes from young people grow up and turn into something more meaningful.  I mean really how many times have you thought or dreamed about a best friend, or a siblings friend, and hoping that it would work out one day.  Its the curse of being around the same people all your lives, but this book was adorable to no end.

I enjoyed the fact that this book was not overly explicit but it seemed all very innocent and sweet and realistic really.  I loved the whole best friend aspect of the book, the other characters in the book were also intriguing especially the idea of Caleb (Hannahs Brother) and Amber (Hannahs best friend), and how fun would that be! Lets not forget grouchy grandpa and his aide. Oh romance all around for everyone, Im down with that.

Overall I thought this book was great, cant wait to check out more from this author.  The cover is definitely what got me interested, then reading what the book was about but what kept me interested were the words on the page, the story, the setting, and the characters.  Sometimes you have to remember in life that its okay to lean on other people for help, you cant always do everything yourself and I really think that is a lesson that Hannah learned.  Total adorable story.
