The Beautiful Things Shoppe

Seasons of New Hope, Book 2

by Philip William Stover

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Some sneaky matchmaking by New Hopes own Uncle Arthur, forces opposites Prescott and Danny to find common ground in the Beautiful Things Shoppe!

Prescott is by the book and fond of all things classic and historical, while Danny is quirky and obsessed with collectibles and nostalgia. Their collections are as polar opposite as their personalities… but you know what they say about opposites - they attract!

All it takes is a some shared projects and their mutual respect and admiration for each others craft and abilities turns their sparing attraction into a relationship. But when Danny leaves out some big items from his past and Prescott’s ex shows up in New Hope… can Danny and Prescott collect up the peaches of their relationship and forge it back together?

I fell for this odd couple pairing from the first chapter! Their unique personalities were a great contrast and brought out the best in each other.

I was also very excited to see Vince and Tuck show up form the previous book, The Hideaway Inn. The Beautiful Things Shoppe built up the the fictional New Hope further, but TBTS can totally be read as a standalone. Though, this series is a delight and I highly recommend both of these books!

As alway, Carina Press delivers the happily ever after I crave! I sweet read that I totally recommend!

The Beautiful Things Shoppe by Philip William Stover is scheduled was released January 26th, 2021.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Harlequin and the Harlequin Publicity Team. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Art of Taxidermy

by Sharon Kernot I didn’t know what I was getting when I picked out this book. When I first opened this book and started to read, I was pleasantly surprised. The author, has written this novel in verse and the flow of the writing really goes with and helps tell the story. The Art of Taxidermy tells a gripping and emotional story about love of family and great loss. The themes are woven through the coming of age of young Lottie, along with her immigrant family in Australia after the second world war. I was taken in by this book from the first page and was made to feel deeply for Lottie and this family. Sharon Kernot has written a beautiful book and I can not highly recommend it enough. This is a must read. The Art of Taxidermy by Sharon Kernot is due to release August 23rd, 2019. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the Text Publishing Company through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 #TheArtOfTaxidermy #sharonkern...

The Outlaw's Daughter

The Outlaw’s Daughter Haywire Bride Series #3 by Margaret Brownley ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 A year old stage robbery has brought Texas Ranger, Matt Taggert to the small town of Haywire. While investigating his lead he he discovers that his prime suspect died just days after the stage coach robbery and is the tow’s local hero… not only that, he has left behind a beautiful widow and 2 children. Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms! This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...

Here to Stay

Here to Stay by Adriana Herrara ⭐⭐⭐ /5 Adrianna Herraara has a remarkable way of capturing the personality and spirit of her New Yorker characters… even when they aren’t in their native New York! The friendships created and the corresponding camaraderie are what stood out to me the most in this book. It was fun to watch these ex-pat New Yorkers come together in their new home and bond. As for the romance, I found it a bit forced. Julia is on a dating sabbatical and not looking for a man… Rocco is only in Dallas working fro the men trying to cut funding and close Julia’s charitable foundation that she works for. These two should be enemies, but they are friends… the tension between them is pretty high, but they both know they are on opposite sides… I found it unsatisfying… size they were workplace enemies, their friendship muddied the waters. I found it hard to get behind their romance. On another side, I really enjoyed the representation of the charitabl...
