Book Recommendations in Time for Summer and a Giveaway

It’s been a busy spring, and I’m getting ready for an active summer

Spring has been slow in coming to Indiana, but this week my lilac has exploded into blooms. The fragrance is amazing and reminds me of Mackinac Island and all things spring. But my thoughts are already turning to summer and some trips we have planned. I’ll be on study abroad with students followed by a trip with part of my family. That means I’m carefully curating books to read during the trip.

Do you have travel plans? In addition to my books that released this spring (with more information below!), I’ve been reading some great books from friends that I can recommend.

Everything’s Coming Up Rosie by Courtney WalshIt has been too long since I have read a Courtney Walsh book and I LOVED this one. I inhaled it on a flight back from Europe, and it had me loving this story of a girl coming home and rediscovering who she is. Rosie accepts a job without understanding what she’s walking into because she is desperate. What she finds is a place where she grows into more than she thought she could be. The supporting cast of characters is delightful, and I enjoyed seeing Courtney’s other life as the director at a youth theater come to life as Rosie puts on a show at a retirement community. Where Secrets Lie by Colleen Coble and Rick AckerI read this on a long flight and thoroughly enjoyed every page. Perfect for Romantic Suspense lovers. Uneasy Street by Becky Wade

This book will quickly pull you into a story that has large hints of enemies-to-lovers but I wondered if they really wanted to hate each other. There’s an unresolved past between Max and Sloane, and Max is determined to force closure. He goes about it in a pushy way — that involves Sloane’s niece Ivy. The three of them have a fun dynamic, but at first I didn’t love Max and Sloane together. I wasn’t really supposed to as each was hurt by what happened to blow up their business partnership.Have you read “The Accused”?It’s been such a blessing to see the wonderful response to my latest release!
