Caffery – Review by Jules Herbert
This is the second book in the London Detective series and it is a brilliant follow up to the first. I think for me, this book is even better than what I expected and that was in large part because of the characters involved. Their chemistry was undeniable. The connection was there right from the start, no matter how much they tried to ignore it. But the characters and their connection felt like it was in conjunction with the story, not taking over it like it could have done. I was desperate to know how things would play out – who was involved, what would happened. The author really kept me engaged throughout the whole story. This is a brilliant book and a great continuation of what is building up to be a fantastic series.

Caffrey – Review by Kerry Baker
Tessa Lopez has opened a bakery shop that has excelled beyond her wildest dreams, but someone is sending threatening letters and Tessa is spooked enough to hire a private detective. Neither expects the chemistry between them will this hinder the investigation?
I really enjoyed this story, it pulled me in right away. The relationship between Tessa and James just added more depth to the book. Kept me guessing as to who was stalking Tessa. Great story, definitely one to pick up when you want to put your feet up and read the day away.

Caffrey – Review by Emily H
Be My Little Baby is the second instalment in the London Detective Agency series by Stephanie R. Caffrey. It is an engrossing romantic suspense with plenty of mystery, crime and investigation, intrigue, tension, stalker danger, investigation, private investigator x client dynamic, chemistry, emotion, secrets, and dramatic developments. When Tessa Lopez, who owns a bustling little bakery in London, is targeted by a stalker, the police fail to help her- so she turns to PI James Moore to help put a stop to her torment. I don’t want to spoil it for you, suffice to say that what happens makes for quite a gripping read. While I really enjoyed the first book, Mistaken Identity, this instalment is even better. It did start off a little slow, but the pace picked up pretty quickly and I was soon pulled into all the intriguing developments. Looking forward to more from Ms. Caffrey. Happy Reading…

This is the second book in the London Detective Agency series, and I enjoyed it even more than the first! While you could possibly read this book without reading the previous one first, I highly recommend picking them up in order. Not only are they just magnificent and complement each other, but getting the background of each character is important in the grand scheme of things. James and Tessa are incredible characters and have been very well developed. The chemistry between the two of them leaps off of the pages! I won’t give anything away, but I will absolutely recommend this book repeatedly. If you enjoy a fantastically crafted romantic suspense story, please do yourself a favor and pick this book up!

Be My Little Baby is Book 2 in the London Detective Agency series and after reading the first book and absolutely loving it, I was excited to dive into this story featuring James. I highly recommend reading the books in orders as you get to know the characters and are captured in each of the stories. I loved the story-line, suspense, drama but also the sizzle and spark between James and Tessa that kept me turning the pages to see what happens next….
Tessa Lopez is a bakery business owner, building her business, but now becomes the target of stalker. When the police do not step in to help, she hires the newly famous PI James Moore. When James takes on Tessa’s case, he never expected for the instant connection to light a spark in him. When the threats toward Tessa become more evident…will James be able to find out whom Tessa’s stalker is before it is to late….. definitely read and find out…
This is a great story and I am looking forward to reading more from this author….

4.5 stars I was really impressed by Stephanie’s debut novel, Mistaken Identity, so I was eager to read more of her work. I didn’t have to wait long before the second book in the London Detective Agency series was released. In this sequel, PI James Moore is brought in to help when a woman’s peaceful life is disrupted by a stalker. The police were unable to assist, so she turns to James for help. The only problem is that there’s chemistry between them, but he has a rule against dating his clients. This thrilling story is packed with mystery, danger, and excitement that unfolds at a brisk pace. It’s a suspenseful romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Will James be able to uncover the stalker’s identity before things spiral out of control? You’ll have to read the book to find out. I’m looking forward to the author’s next work!

Caffrey – Review by Jenni Bishop
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed reading this mystery romance. It was a bit slow to start but that was more for in-depth character introductions and retrospective background story building. Ultimately Tessa and James fall in love but along the way they follow the trail to find Tessa’s stalker…. The most unsuspecting suspect and surprisingly interlinked with the prime suspect…. Any more detail and it would be a spoiler so I suggest you get yourself a copy and get comfy and turn pages to find out.

Caffrey – Review by Charlene Pryke
I was so excited to get my hands on this book and I was NOT disappointed! Caffrey has done it again but this time we get James’ story. I love Caffrey’s writing style and her character development and she continues that with this novel. This book has it all…suspense, mystery, romance, twists and turns. It is just such a nice mix of everything that there is something for everyone. Some tropes in this book include: forbidden love, protector, and damsel in distress among some others. I cannot recommend this book enough. You do not need to read the first book in this series; however, it always helps to have a better understanding of the characters but it’s not necessary.

Oh, I loved this story right from the start. James and Tessa have an attraction and watching that is cute, sweet and fun. Watching them also solve the mystery of who’s stalking her at her bakery is quite the whodunit also. This is a case that is both entertaining and full of twists and turns. Old faces are making appearances and this is a definite must read. This is book 2 of the series.

Jessie and Cam have known each other all their lives. After the tragedy of losing her family, Jessie and Cam grow even closer. While their lives take different paths they both end up Swan Harbor and Cam once again helps Jessie heal. Jessie leaves suddenly and Cam’s heart is broken. Just as Cam is putting his life back together Jessie comes back to town for a friend’s wedding. Will Jessie’s secrets tear them apart or will they fight for their love?
I love a fast paced romance with a little mystery thrown in. I don’t normally enjoy second chance romances but I quite enjoyed this one. Their story is told from a dual POV and includes trips to their past. I felt like this really helped build the characters and helped me understand why they made the choices they did. I also loved the Swan Harbor residents blurb included at the start of the book. It really helped to give a quick overview of all the characters. Sometimes I find it difficult to follow if I haven’t read any of the previous books. Overall this was an enjoyable read!

What a way to start a weekend ! I loved every moment on the I’ve and off the ice ❣️😉
Dylan and Jessie lost their parents in an accident and Cam and his family have been a constant in their lives and Mary just climbed deep in my heart 🥰
Somewhere along the line Cam and Jessie start seeing each other in a different light but life happens and their paths separate for a while but that all changes when she returns to Swan Harbor……
At a stage I wanted to close the book and calm it a day because I was just shattered and couldn’t see for all the tears 😭🙈 but I had a serious case of FOMO so I grabbed my Kleenex supply and pushed through and boy was I rewarded well 🥰📚there was a stage where I was holding my breath though because someone was out to get Jessie in a bad way 😱🙈
Catherine is a dark green horse ( inherited it from mother I think)and there were a few times I just wanted to climb into the book and give her a piece of my mind 🤬people never seize to blow my mind , there’s enough sunshine for everyone but no you have to have that one bad apple 🤮but the wheel turns……
I love how Cam loved Jessie , his princess and is always there for her and supports her , he’s a keeper and any girl can thank her lucky stars to have someone like him on her side 🥰
I liked that we went from past still present because I could see each person’s feelings and thoughts and having their perspective just made for a good heartfelt read ❣️📚

From Darkness into Love: A Small-Town, Second-Chance Mystery Romance (Hope & Hearts from Swan Harbor Book 1)
I figured I was going to cry before I had even opened the book. What I didn’t expect was to cry as much as I did.
Jessie broke my heart, she went through so much at a young age and unfortunately that was just the beginning.
Jessie and Cameron were destined to be together but outside forces are trying their hardest to keep them apart and will go to almost unimaginable lengths to keep them apart.
I was not familiar with Ms. Bartow prior to reading this book and had no expectations going in, but hoped I would enjoy it which I did.
I’m a crier and will cry reading, watching TV or even getting too deep into my own head. I sat for a bit after finishing to process my thoughts and feelings, while I cried a few times I was happy with how it ended. Now to add the rest of this series to my TBR.

This is a re-release of a previously published title. I have not read anything by this author before but I’ve heard some great things about her, as well as a sports (ice skating and hockey) storyline drew me in. This story is a bit reminiscent of a movie I saw one time with a similar plot line, which caught me off guard a couple of times, but this story is still it’s own.
I was immediately drawn to both characters of Jessie and Cameron. I felt like I was their best friend looking in on their story. They really welcome you into the story from the beginning and don’t want you to leave in the end. This is a series I’ll be looking for when new releases come out!
If you enjoy a good romance with some mystery and suspense worked in, you’ll find this to be an enjoyable read!

For those readers who are into sports romance, small town loves, romantic suspense and steamy love, this one is definitely a great pick for you to read! Story centers between Jessie and Cameron and how although tragic bring them together time and time again, the strong connection between them remains. Time and time again their love is questioned and faces the challenge of whether all the hurt and pain is worth fighting for their love to thrive. This story is the first book in the series and I very much look forward to seeing what happens in this small town!

I love how this book was written. This is a second chance romance that includes flash backs to the past so we know the backstory. This is an easy read that keeps you entertained while sending you on an emotional rollercoaster. There’s definitely chemistry between Jessie and Cameron, even when they’re first reunited, but the forces that pulled them apart when they were teens are trying to do it again! Will they make it through this time? Grab a copy and find out!

The only good things in her life, so she thought, were Cameron and her love for ice skating. But she even lost her passion for skating when she started being bullied. When she turned to the one person she felt most comfortable with she got quite a shock when an unknown female answered his phone. This causes her to move away which breaks Cameron’s heart. In all the years that Jessie was gone Cameron was able to pick up the pieces and move on. He has met someone new and things appear to be going well. Now that their good friends are getting married Jessie is back. Their feelings come roaring back as well. While they try to find their way back to one another there is someone who wants to keep them apart. I enjoyed this rollercoaster of a ride. This was a fairly fast paced book with lots of emotion and drama. It will keep you turning the pages and has a guaranteed happy ending. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

Throughout this story, there is a lot to keep up with what is going on. I do like how the author goes from the present to the characters backstory to explain what Cam and Jessie went through in their relationship. The story does have a way to get you away from the real world. The main characters are very well developed and complement each other.

This is an enjoyable and engaging romantic suspense story, which kept me happily turning the pages. The quaintness of the small town setting of Swan Harbor was brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative. The storyline follows Jessie and Cameron as they get a second chance at love. After Cameron saves Jessie he then captured her heart. However, when Jessie left, she left Cameron broken hearted. Years later and Cameron is ready to move on after an unexpected meeting with someone new. Then Jessie returns and their chemistry is still sizzling and they can’t resist one another. However, when the threatening messages return they realise that someone in Swan Harbor wants to keep them apart. They must decide if a second chance at love is worth the risk of staying together. The storyline had me hooked because as the mystery unfolds the suspense mounted. This was a fast paced story with plenty of drama, emotion, action, suspense, and of course romance. The chemistry between Jessie and Cameron came across in the narrative and it did lead to some steamy scenes. I love a story with a guaranteed happy ending, and I recommend picking this book up today!

This was an enjoyable read from start to finish. This is the first book I have read by this author and I’m glad I chose to dive in. This story has drama, second chances, mystery, family, friends, small town, and great characters. Cameron and Jessie had been through so much in their lives since they were young. I couldn’t help but find myself rooting for their love to conquer all. This book goes back and forth in time to bring the story together and gives us a good understanding of how everything played out. There are also other great characters in this book that are going through their own situations. This book was a quick read for me and I was entertained throughout. I recommend this book.

Discovering this author and then Discovering that Hope & Hearts from Swan Harbor Series has 15 books in it, was super exciting. This was my first time picking up a book by Sophie Bartow. The cover definitely gives small town vibes🥰. Cameron and Jessie’s story is a small town second chance filled with suspense, romance,twist, drama and a lot of flashbacks. The flashbacks are written in perfectly blending in with the present time. The mystery and twist and turns left me wondering who was behind it.I will 100 percent be going to finish this series and look forward to what else this small town will bring and I also hope we get to see more of these 2 later on.

From Darkness into Love (Hope & Hearts from Swan Harbor Book 1) by Sophie Bartow. This is a second chance romance and my first book by this author but it will for sure not be my last. I loved it. Its full of drama, romance, grief, mystery & family. Jessie & Cameron grew up together and eventually that friendship turned to romance.

Will he let Jessie back in after hurting him so badly? There are other things that do not want them together and when that mystery turns up again it may be the end of them for good. When Cam finds out the real reason Jessie left town will it make them or break them. Read this amazing second chance romance to find out!
