Tea, Blanket, and My Book

Author: Marci Bolden Release Date:  August 13, 2019 Wow.!!  This has to be the most touching and sad story that I have ever read.  I am speechless and I had to take a day to process my emotions after reading this great story.  Let's go ahead and get the rating out of the way and say that this is a 5 star read.!  I mean, just wow.  This story of grief and forgiving yourself and others made me shed a tear because I felt the emotions that the author wrote on these pages.  I guess I should tell you all about this heart touching story to begin this review. This story revolves around Caroline and over twenty years ago her daughter, Katie, died and she blames her ex-husband, John.   John has finally found Caroline and he has come on a mission to right his wrongs before his terminal illness takes him out.   Throughout this story you get flashbacks into the past and it leaves you wondering what happened on that horrible day to Katie and...

Author:  Hope Ramsay Release Date: August 6, 2019 I am really touched by the hard work and the emotional journey that the author has gone through to complete this book. And for that I am proud to have read this story because I am a fan of Hope Ramsay.  With that being said, it is going to be a pain to write a honest review because I really wanted this to be a 5 Star, but unfortunately, this story did not quite meet that rating and I will tell you why. Summer on Moonlight Bay is a love story between a vet and a veterinarian.   Lia is a veteran from the Navy and she is a rolling stone looking for a place to call home.   She goes to the lovely town of Magnolia Harbor in hopes of experiencing the small town in all its glory, that's according to the charming tales that her former Navy Chaplain, Micah St. Pierre, has told her about.   On the other hand, there is Noah who can't get away from his small town fast enough.   They bond over a sweet pupp...

Author:  Caitlin Crews Release Date:  July 30, 2019 I have never read a book that has made such a turnaround like this book has before in my life. I am going to be completely honest with you and say that I was ready to quit this book and move on to the next one. My momma didn't raise no quitter but I was ready to defy my teachings and be done with this cowboy.   This story had a great premise and it instantly made me interested.   A cowboy with no memory of the last two years and falling in love all over again? Count me in and I dove head first in this story with the expectation of being entertained. Honey, was I wrong.!!! First let me start off by telling you about this flip flop story because the blurb grabs you for sure and most importantly, there is a hot cowboy to boot.   Tye is a bull rider who was in a terrible accident with a 2,000 pound bull and has lost his memory for the last two years.   Imagine his surprise when a beautiful b...

Author:  Laura Drake Release Date: July 2. 2019 This is gradually becoming my favorite author.   This book was such a new take on romance and it was exhilarating and refreshing. This is book two of the Chestnut Creek Series and just like the first one, I loved it.   There is something great to be said for an author who takes a risk of writing a romance with the hero being a Native American and do it very tastefully.   This story is about Nevada Sweet, who from book one, is a raunchy, tough woman with a heart of gold.   If you read book 1 then you know that Nevada was the cook from the food truck that Carly worked at temporarily.   Nevada Sweet is on the run from the drug cartel and she arrives in the small town of Unforgiven to hide out for a while.   But she wasn't counting on meeting Fish, the Navajo cook with a huge heart and even bigger muscles.   Fiercely independent, Nevada does not stand for charity or free rent, so Fish off...

Author:  Laura Drake Release Date: December 4, 2018 I actually did not expect to like this book as much as I did.   It was refreshing and unexpectantly grounded.   This book started off with childhood sweethearts, Carly and Austin.   Carly has had it up to here with Austin and his rodeo adventures and she is ready for a wedding. Austin is quite ready to hang up his saddle from the rodeo just yet. Carly finally gets a backbone and breaks up with Austin, but in the process she makes a hug mistake? Is it too late for Austin to save his relationship with Carly? Well, let's find out. You see, Carly and Austin are childhood lovers and Carly is waiting for the life changing question.   While Carly runs her grandparents diner, Austin is a bull rider in his prime.   Carly and Austin are the town sweethearts and everyone in town just know that they will be together forever.   Lately, Carly has been reassessing her life and their relationship...

Emily March Blogger Q&A JACKSON 1.   You wrote a book! That’s pretty awesome. Why don’t you tell us a bit about what inspired Jackson and the rest of the books in the Eternity Springs world? The saying “Write what you know” says it all in my case. I’m a small-town girl and my family and friendships are center to my world. I write about love and family and friendships. I have roots in both the Colorado Rockies and the Texas Hill Country, so it was natural for me to set Eternity Springs and Redemption there. The idea for JACKSON grew out of my interest in the music currently being written and performed in Texas. I’ve always thought singer/songwriters are romantic figures so I was excited to create a hero with this background. Unfortunately, I’m not a musician and I’m definitely not a singer, but I am creative so it was fun for me to explore that aspect of a character. 2.   Introduce us to your main character! Okay. Well, Americana singer/songwriter Ja...
