Review: The Accidental Beauty Queen

The Accidental Beauty Queen by Teri Wilson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What can I say? I love a book about twins and their unique relationship dynamic. This was a cute, fun read. There were moments I cracked up and I even got a little choked up as well. I loved Charlotte and Gray was such a hero.
Thank you, Netgalley.

Review: Courting Her Prodigal Heart

Courting Her Prodigal Heart by Mary Davis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love a tale about imperfect people finding a love perfect for them. Eli is a strong hero with a big heart. Dori is the prodigal that returns home but who is constantly looking behind. I enjoyed watching their love blossom and grow. What a different Amish tale.

Review: A Duke in Need of a Wife

A Duke in Need of a Wife by Annie Burrows
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Oliver is cool and headstrong. Sophie has fought to control her wild streak. She believes that she will only be loved if she is good. But Oliver sees something in the young woman that rattles at his control and he simply has to get to know her better. I enjoyed seeing Sophie's true nature come out as her confidence grew.

Review: Her Festive Flirtation

Her Festive Flirtation by Therese Beharrie
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I loved the cover and the premise for the story. Ava was jilted at the altar and now has to walk down the aisle again as a bridesmaid. She is battling with her own demons from the past while helping her brother celebrate. Noah has issues from the past that he needs to resolve. I enjoyed their chemistry. A few points in the story were unclear to me but overall a sweet read.
Thank you, Netgalley!

Review: The Marriage Bargain (Mills & Boon Love Inspired)

The Marriage Bargain (Mills & Boon Love Inspired) by Stephanie Dees
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

From beginning to end, the character development of Jules and Cam drew me into the story. I had moments that had me laughing and others that had me feeling emotional. I really enjoyed this story and finished in hours. I loved the themes of family, faith, and love that resonated and brought warm feelings to my heart. Love is powerful.
Memorable Quote:
"She liked everything to be perfect and she wasn't comfortable with a mess, even if she knew logically the mess was the way to something better. And come to think of it, that sounded like a great metaphor for her life these days..."
Thank you, Netgalley! Loved this inspired read.

When Dante meets Aislin, life as he knew it, changed. And, for the better. Their passion and their character development made me rooting for their happy-ever-after. I enjoyed this story and read it in hours.
Great quotes:

"It's only when you're in a specific situaton that you can appreciate the depths you would go to or the heights you would climb for someone you love."
"If people were in a committed relationship then they should respect that, not go fishing for bigger catch."

Review: Her One Mistake

Her One Mistake by Heidi Perks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Her One Mistake is told from two women's point of view. Charlotte and Harriet. In a suspenseful tale of a child abduction, we wonder, how did Alice disappear without a trace from a playground. Both women blame themselves and as the story unfolds we realize nothing is as it seems. Thank you, Netgalley.
