Betrayal (Choosing Family Book 3)Betrayal by Jennifer Raines
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am loving this series. It has a good cast of characters and I love the storyline. Once I started reading I just could not put this book down. to me, this book is hard to write a review because I am afraid I will put a few spoilers in there.

I love Anne, she is passionate about what she believes in and wants and she seems to have a problem trusting. Hunter’s character was great too.

Check out the book I think you will enjoy it too. This can be read as a stand alone but the series is really good.

This was a cute little children’s book that I am going to read to my grand daughter when I start babysitting really soon. I am collecting cute little books to read to her to get her to like reading as much as I do. It is about a young man who is a bully to his classmates and neighbors because he is upset that his parents don’t pay him alot of attention. He got angry because he saw the parents of the other children show up for their games and his did not show up for his games.

Really enjoyed the story and think your little ones will too

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have a grandbaby who is about 5 months old and she has a little brother. As I was reading this book I could imagine him saying all these things to his little sister. I will be visiting with them in the next month or so and I will share this book with both of them.

It is important that we teach them that the little brother won’t take their place but what an important part they can be in teaching the little one things. A cute book for little ones or your grands.

Unmasking A Cowgirl (Match Made in Montana Book 3)Unmasking A Cowgirl by Rachelle Paige Campbell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another good book by this author. Once you start reading you won’t want to put it down.

I have enjoyed reading about the Kincaid’s and the town of Herd. Herd is such a tight nit community that holds onto the town’s history . Abby comes into town and shortens her last name so the town doesn’t know that she is a descendant of one of the town’s founding families that were run out of town. She has come back to try and see about the one strip of land that her family still owned. However, she is hesitant, to let the town know who she really is.

Joe suspects she isn’t being on the level with everyone in town but doesn’t know why. It’s just a feeling he has, so he makes it rough on her.

Enjoyed the book and think you will too.
