Finding Cheer (Magical Emerald Hollow Series) by Heather Schneider – Review by Julie Johnson

Finding Cheer (Magical Emerald Hollow #2)Finding Cheer by Heather Schneider
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m ready to move to Emerald Hollow!! Holly Claus is back in this book and things are looking like spring. Sofia is also back and she comes across a man in the woods who isn’t sure who or where he is. Isaiah could be a con man in Sofia’s eyes but she’s also hoping that he’s legit.

This is a very sweet, mostly clean (there is “mild” swearing) romance novel. I do recommend reading the first book so you get a full background on Holly and Emerald Hollow but it’s not absolutely necessary in order to enjoy this story.

This is a fun series and I’ll patiently wait to see who we will get to meet next!

Finding Cheer (Magical Emerald Hollow Series) by Heather Schneider – Review by Jessie Hopkins

I read this as a standalone and was not confused but it was great book I will be going back and reading the first one.
I was invested in the book, cheering for Sofia, curious about Isaiah, fawning over how cute Ash & Holly are. I loved how the chapters were told by their different point of views so that you could really tell how they were all feeling. By having the multiple points of view you see why Sofia is apprehensive to have feelings for another person, especially someone with no memories prior to when she found him in the woods, you know how Isaiah is trying to figure out who he was while also realizing that maybe he was found here for a reason. Plus you get to see a little behind what is going on with Ash and Holly, and how they are also supportive of Sofia.
I personally love when a story brings together multiple genres, with this book having romance, mystery and magic, it was a fun read.

Finding Cheer is the second book in the Magical Emerald Hollow series by Heather Schneider. After enjoying the first book in the series, Chasing Cheer, I wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to dive into the second instalment for another charming read.
This is an engaging, sweet (paranormal) romance, with a touch of magic, intrigue, a little mystery, some forced proximity, chemistry, sparks, drama, secrets, discoveries, and endearing characters. Again, as with the first book- I can see this making a great movie too.
After Holly Claus came to Emerald Hollow (previous book) things have certainly taken an interesting turn, that’s for sure. But, this story focuses on Sofia Reyes, a slightly jaded local who will find fate has a special plan for her- one she’s a little skeptical about to begin with. But fate won’t be denied. Add in some magic, mystery, tension, and emotion- and this charming read takes a captivating turn.
Looking forward to Book #3!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Heather Schneider!

Holly has made a home in Emerald Hollow and all is going well. A man shows up during a snowstorm and has no memory of his life before this. Sofia wants to trust him and pursue her feelings for him but is worried that maybe he cannot be trusted. This book is a sweet entertaining book. Looking forward to more in this series.

I was so excited to return to Emerald Hollow and unravel another character! Holly is a full-time resident now, and there is no shortage of magic involved! But in this story, we get to know Sofia and follow her on her journey. Sofia is sweet, but has her guard up, having been hurt in the past. She does not let men in easy. However, when she found Isaiah in need, she was the woman for the job. There were sparks between her and the new stranger, but she was hesitant to act on her feelings, thinking it wouldn’t last. Isaiah is a mystery for many reasons. I loved trying to guess what would happen with him next and his story did not disappoint. This was another page-turning, fun and entertaining story! My favorite part was the loose ends at the end, meaning there should be more to come from Emerald Hollow!

I was excited to find the second book in this series. The first book was a fun read and I knew the second book would have the same kind of fun, romantic, and exciting moments. We met Holly in the first book where she ends up finding love and acceptance in Emerald Hollow a small town in Oregon.
This new book is about Sofia, a well known member of the town. Sofia has had her share of romance gone wrong as so many of us experience. Sofia can’t believe what she’s seeing when she finds a man laying in the middle of a snow covered hiking trail! The strangest thing being he can’t seem to remember how he got to the snowy trail.
Like the first book, I enjoyed reading about Sofia and her new friend. The author does a wonderful job of world and character building. I’m looking forward to reading more about the folks in Emerald Hollow.

4 1/2 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I was eagerly anticipating this book…..Finding Cheer is Book 2 in the Magical Emerald Hollow series and this story was wonderful. Who would not want to live in Emerald Hollow! I highly recommend reading book 1 as you get to know the characters that lead into Finding Cheer. This story is a sweet, small town romance with sprinkle of magic, some heartfelt moments and a few twists. I am keeping my fingers crossed for more from this series…

What strange occurrence can happen when Sophia finds a random stranger in the woods suffering from amnesia….Isaiah has no recollection on how he ended up in Emerald Hollow. As Sophia and Isaiah try to piece the mystery together and find out where he is truly from…there is also strange things happening….with no explanations. As Sophia and Isaiah spend more time together, Sophia slowly breaks down her walls to her heart as she has delt with heartbreak over and over. With the help of Holly and Ash, will Isaiah find out where he comes from and will this impact the connection that Sophia and Isaiah have?

Definitely check out this wonderful story…..

As soon as I saw this book was the sequel to the first I knew I had to read it. And I think this is even better than the last a brilliant book from start to finish. For me, this book was all about the characters. I found them so easy to connect with and completely relatable. From the moment I started reading I wanted to know more.
I think the author did a fantastic job in developing this story. I was engaged with the story right away and I loved watching how everything played out. The author somehow managed to create the same joy you feel with a festive read without it feeling out of place. I loved the way it made me feel and how the story unfolded. Getting to read more about the characters from the previous book was just the icing on top. This is a brilliant book that I would highly recommend.

Another cute story in this series. we have some magic and a little mystery with some romance to top it all off. I enjoyed the story and the characters. While this one is about Sofia and her amnesia man we also get to see old friends from the last story. I like that I get to see how everyone is doing from the last book.
I wonder why the tulips bloomed there? I must have missed the explanation for why there and elsewhere still had snow. Maybe it’s just a magical place.

This book was just as joyful to read as the first one. Sofia and Isiah brought so much fun, romance and entertainment to my meager life. Watching everyone, Ash and Holly included, try to figure out how to get Isiah’s memory back is magical. The writing is full of sunshine. You can feel the magic in the story. I couldn’t put it down once I started it. I am a definite fan of this series and I can’t wait for the next. Who will be next?

Chasing Cheer, and fell in love with Emerald Hollow. Super happy to bet back there. The first book focused on Holly and Ash. This one focused on Sofia and Isaiah. There are a few twist and unexpected surprises in this story. I’m super excited for the next installment. If you want a feel good love story, this is the series for you. 5⭐️

I absolutely loved getting to go back to Emerald Hollow and getting to learn more about Sofia, who I thought was an interesting character from the first book, so I was excited to see her take center stage in her own story! I did still love that we got to peek in and see how Holly and Ash are doing, as well as Holly’s digging into the ancient secrets of the town. Sophia and Isaiah are such a cute pair, even as Sophia is concerned he is a con artist, she is still extremely attracted and drawn to him. I loved the split POV’s so we can see what each of the characters are thinking and feeling. The author continues to bring magic in her writing and I am hoping there is a few more stories left to be shared from Emerald Hollow. This is a very cute series and while you could read book 2 standalone, it will make a lot more sense to start with the first book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another enjoyable and engaging sweet fantasy romance set in the magical small town of Emerald Hollow, which kept me happily turning the pages. Holly Claus, the main character from the previous book is now permanently living in Emerald Hollow. The small town is experiencing unusual occurrences, including tulip super blooms and an influx of people visiting the magical festivals held there. When a man shows up during a snowstorm with amnesia local Sofia Reyes is skeptical of his story and his lack of past memories. Sofia offers to help him discover his identity, however the more time they spend together the less she can ignore her attraction to him. Their relationship develops as they get to know one another better following trips to the library and to the epic tulip festival. Sofia also feels a magical pull towards him which he also feels, but she’s worried about risking her heart on someone whose past is a mystery to them both. Meanwhile, Holly is about to uncover some magical secrets which are decades old and which will affect the human residents of the town. Once again the magical town and its residents are brought vividly to life through the wonderful narrative and imaginative world building. I felt fully immersed in Emerald Hollow and enjoyed ‘catching up’ with Holly and Ash, but also loved the main characters of this story, Sofia and love interest Isaiah. I like the multiple POV’s and the magical realism which is sprinkled through the story. I look forward to returning to Magical Emerald Hollow soon!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book as much as the first one in the series. The first book follows Ash and Holly’s story and this second book follows Sophia and Isaiah’s story, although Ash and Holly are also main characters in this one too. Sophia is out on a hike to memorialize her mom when she finds an unconscious man on the trail. She wakes Isaiah up and he has no memory of who he is or how he got to those woods. After tests there is no brain injury and he leaves the hospital to find Sophia hoping something will come back. He stays in Emerald Hollow and he has some instincts that he knows about himself but no memories and no leads on missing persons. Sophia has a difficult past with men and she has a hard time trusting him, but as they get to know each other she starts to open up even though she has reservations. I loved reading about Sophia’s jewelry business and the WanderLost line. I wish there were some drawings or sketches in the book. I loved that this book also included Holly and Ash and some of the characters from the first book. It was just a sweet and magical story that I couldn’t put down!

This is the second book in the Magical Emerald Hollow series, but I read this one first by accident! I didn’t feel lost, but I will definitely go back and pick the first book up so that I can get the full experience. This was an absolute delight to read! I loved the small town feel with the added magical feature as it made it both relatable and unique at the exact same time. I truly love the witty conversations between Sofia and Isaiah, and their chemistry is quite obvious. This is a sweet and clean romance which is refreshing as it gets a bit difficult to find these now it seems. I will be looking for more from this author and picking up the previous book in the series. If you’re looking for a lovely clean romance for your afternoon, look no further!

Emerald Hollow is the place to be since Holly came to town. Things are not quite what they seem. Finding Cheer is another magical delight in this paranormal series that will have you wanting to be in this sweet small town and enjoying the magic and laughing at the goings on.
This wonderful sequel is a little more mysterious and is Sophia’s story. When a mysterious man turns up Sophie can’t explain this strange pull, she has towards him, but it is mighty inconvenient especially when he doesn’t know who he is or does he? It is a sweet, heartwarming and fun tale and underneath there is Ash and Holly’s story which is ongoing. What will happen when she uncovers old magical secrets?
Finding Cheer is a little raw and a little more emotional than the first book as there is heartache, loss and heartbreak, healing and hope just to mention a few. There is also a little twist of a surprise tucked in there that I didn’t see. It doesn’t end on a cliffhanger but there are some unanswered questions that I am sure we will get in the next book which I can’t wait for.

Finding Cheer: Paranormal Women’s Fiction Cozy Fantasy Novel is the second book in the Magical Emerald Hollow series. I was excited to see another book in this series. Holly and Ash are back, as are others who appeared in the first book. The focus of this story, though, falls on Sofia and a mysterious fella who finds himself in Emeral Hollow. I was glad to see Sofia get her moment in the spotlight and to meet a new character. Like in the first book, some mysterious and unusual happenings happen in town. What has caused the unusual tulip blooms? Holly is figuring out some of the magical history of the town and more. This is a great series to grab if you enjoy magic, romance, and the small-town atmosphere. This could be enjoyed as a standalone, but best enjoyed when read in order. I hope to read more from this author soon and hopefully more from this fun and unique series.

A heartwarming story, with fantastic characters. The second story in the Magical Emerald Hollow series. A story that has so many twists and turns and magic. When a man magically appears in Emerald Hollow local, Sofia Reyes is on edge. The man has no idea who he is except for his first name. Sofia was out for a walk in honor of her mother when she stumbled upon him in the woods alone buried under snow. So many magical and mysterious things have been happening in Emerald Hollow since Holly appeared a year ago. Can Sofia help this mystery man find out who he is, and will that change anything between them? Love the magic in this book.

“Finding Cheer” by Heather Schneider is a delightful and enchanting read that continues the magical journey in Emerald Hollow. The small town setting and magical elements create a whimsical atmosphere that draws the reader in from the very beginning.

The characters are well-developed and endearing, especially Sofia Reyes, whose skepticism and attraction to the mysterious stranger make for an engaging storyline. The dynamic between Sofia and her love interest is realistic and heartwarming, adding a sweet and clean romance to the plot.

The addition of Holly Claus and her investigation into magical secrets adds depth to the story and keeps the reader intrigued throughout. The magical tulip super bloom and the town’s various festivals bring a sense of wonder and excitement to the narrative, enhancing the overall charm of the book. Loved the sequel equally as well as the first one!
