Renewed by Sara Vinduska
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
While this is the 6th book in the series, it is completely stand alone. This is the first book by Sara Vinduska that I’ve read and will absolutely read more! Renewed was a lighthearted and easy to read romance, with plenty of steamy scenes. The danger and intrigue element made the book hard to put down. The characters were wonderfully written and looking forward to more.
A Christmas Amish Courtship by Jennifer Spredemann
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed A Christmas Amish Courtship! It is the 3rd book in the series, but did great as a stand alone. I had not read the previous two and had no issues with following the story line, but neither did the story get bogged down with details from the previous two. The characters were wonderful and I really liked learning more about the Amish culture while reading. Without giving any spoilers, I like that the author didn’t drag out the miscommunications. It seems that can happen a lot with other authors and it was refreshing to not have it happen here. Great read and will definitely catch up on the others.
Carrie’s Flight by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Carrie’s Flight by Lois Wickstrom was such a cute book! My girls loved it and thought it was so amazing that Carrie was able to fly. They were hooked the whole time. I also loved the information that Wickstrom gave on the starlings at the end of the story. Overall, very easy to read, really a cute and fun story your children will love.
Slay It With a Diamond by Rob Bates
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I could not put this book down! I was completely hooked throughout and really enjoyed the entire read. The intrigue was awesome, world building and characters had enough detail so that I could really picture everything but never bogged the story down. It is a romance, nothing steamy, but the main character is her own woman and while she does need her bf and depends on him, it’s not from a weak perspective. Strong female lead that you can see come into her own even more throughout the story line. Well worth the read!
