Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest For Love: A Pride And Prejudice Variation Novelette (Love Through The Ages; stand-alone historical books by TL Clark)Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest For Love: A Pride And Prejudice Variation Novelette by T.L. Clark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a cute and fun read. Was very easy and quick, but a fun idea for follow up after the love story that is Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett. The style of writing stays similar to that of Jane Austen and is a pretty fluid transition to a “sequel”. Of course, wonderful characters and a lovely happy ending without any unnecessary drama. Really enjoyed it and would recommend.

Forever to Fall (Buckeye Falls Book 5)Forever to Fall by Libby Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Forever to Fall was such a cute read! It is the 5th in the Buckeye Falls series but is totally fine as a standalone. This was my first read by this author and the first books are not necessary to be able to follow and enjoy this one. Although I am totally going to go back and read the others because it was such a fun story. It does get a little frustrating when the MMC can’t get past what is seemingly his own cowardice to tell Mal how he truly feels, and then in turn to be able to tell her brother/his best friend the truth of it as well. I get why he was hesitant, but think he was really selling his best friend short.
All in all, was really well written, wonderful characters and a happy ever after that wasn’t cheesy and cliche to get to. Easy to read and fun.

Come Home to DeathCome Home to Death by Marilyn Levinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Come Home to Death
I really enjoyed this book and finished it very quickly. It is intriguing and has some twists that I did not expect, which is always nice in a mystery! I was rather frustrated with Erica at times throughout the book, but I believe the author did a very good job conveying her youth/naivety in the storyline. It was annoying to me how she handled (or didn’t handle) her problems and responded to her aunts when they were helping and looking out for her.

**spoilers**

Upon finding out that she is about to become a multimillionaire, Erica also discovers some harsh truths about her husband and realizes she doesn’t really know him at all. After some attempts on her life, and her husband’s murder, she finds herself returning back home, a thing she swore she would never do. However, even there the trouble follows her and intensifies.
Happy endings and a new love wrap up this book nicely.

Murder on West Main: A South Shore Mystery by I.M. Foster – Review by Kat Mellon

Murder on West Main: A South Shore MysteryMurder on West Main: A South Shore Mystery by I.M. Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Murder on West Main: A South Shore Mystery by I. M. Foster was a really good book! I was hooked throughout the entire book, it kept a decently fast pace and the tone of the book reflected the attitudes of the time very accurately.
When a universally disliked man in a small town is unexpectedly found to be the victim of a homicide, there are many suspects, and no one is shedding any tears over the man. Primary suspect, and who found him at the scene, is Colin Brissedon, brother of Kathleen Brissedon who is the love interest of the town physician and coroner- and lead investigator on this case. When Kathleen insists on doing some investigating of her own, things start to get interesting.
Intrigue and romance, danger lurking in the shadows, and witty dialogue. This book was a really good read and I loved the historical accuracies and how they were later explained in further depth at the end of the book.

The Earl’s Match by Holly Bush

The Earl's Match (The Thompsons of Locust Street, #5)The Earl’s Match by Holly Bush
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Earl’s Match is the 5th and final book in The Thompsons of Locust Street books, although it can stand alone very well. I haven’t read anything by this author before, so this was the first one in the series I read (was not aware it was a series when I picked it up) and the author gave enough backstory to fully understand the relationships without bogging down the story line.

This story shifts POV, although it is primarily from Payden’s perspective majority of the time. Also has a lot of flashbacks from present day to events within the past 5 years that play heavily into current situations. The chance meeting of Clarice and Payden initially sparks anger rather than romance and the chaos that follows is both interesting and suspenseful. Very well written- I enjoyed it and would read more by the author.

Song of Earth and ClawsSong of Earth and Claws by Lena Abram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Song of Earth and Claws by Lena Abram was really a great read. It was my first book by this author so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The world building was really awesome and I loved the character development. I’ve read a lot of fae-universe books and I really loved the unique twist this one had and the mystery surrounding the two main characters. I did feel a couple times that there could have been a little more information given to the readers, like about the games in general, but I also feel like not having the info did not detract from the overall read and storyline. Would definitely recommend this book and will read more by Abram!

Renewed (Fateful Justice Book 6)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 (Amish Courtship #3)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.
