My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It was good to be back in Quimby Cove ! It missed the town and it’s people and I know 2 of my favorite people are loving their HEA but I could wait to see what’s in store for darling Max…..

So we know Max has a mystery beach girl that he hooked up with and Ellawyn even did a painting for him 🫶🏼so imagine the Jurassic butterflies that hit his stomach when he heard her voice and the saw her at their wedding rehearsal !!! Yes I squealed and no I’m not embarrassed 😉❣️😂

So beach girl has a name , Marley and she’s still beautiful and still a wedding planner and her memory of Max still leaves her hot and wanting 🔥That moment of recognition was epic ! I wish I was a fly in the wall tj have seen it all 😍😂

A wedding in Starlight Bookstore ! Perfection at its best ❣️a real fairytale and while I’m grateful to be part of it I’m just curious to see what happens with max and Marley ….

So Max and Marley created 2 little beings and after the initial shock Max is keen to meet them and man are they cute ! Jax and Izzy are adorable and everyone just sort of find their groove and gel and life seems perfect till someone from Marley’s past brings a lot of suspense , chills and angst to the table , my heart couldn’t handle it and I chewed nails to the quick !

It was a sweet goodbye but I know I’ll be back in Quimby Cove soon enough because Avery and Kennon have a story to tell I’m sure ❣️📕

Finding Starlight (Quimby Grove #1)Finding Starlight by Shannon Nikole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You know that feeling when you open a book and you just get lost !? When retelling the story you talk a mile a minute so you can say as much as you can !? You get so involved that you want to tell anyone who will listen about it !? When you tell people about it they want to know how you know these people because you’re so involved !? Well this is Finding Starlight ❣️📕

I just loved the cover ! I love that there was a bookstore involved and the characters become friends and family 🥰📕

Ellawyn ( what a beautiful name) is on the run from her abusive boyfriend and leaves everyone and everything behind and starts her healing in the quaint town of Quimby Grove .

She discovers Finding Starlight , a bookstore owned by Benji ,who is such a sweetheart and it serves the most delectable treats . Ellawyn is there everyday from open to close and always on the same spot , Benji leaves her to paint and heal . It’s all her fault I started craving grilled cheese sandwiches and vanilla lattes 🤷‍♀️😂

Benji receives life altering news and his grandson Beckett comes home and when he shares the news I just have a meltdown and my heart breaks into a million pieces but this little family draws close and face it head on but a man obsessed with Ellawyn intervenes in an evil and unkind way and I will not give his name as he doesn’t deserve any acknowledgment and his ticket to the first pits of hell is booked !

While Ellawyn , Beckett , Benji and Max were my people there were other folks that warmed my heart like the kind nurse that helped our Benji and Becketts dear secrestary 🌸

Love is light and Beckett and Ellawyn overcome the darkness and these two people are deserving of every ounce of love and while I didn’t want their story to end I was happy to let them go to live their HEA because I want to see what happens in Max’s life , he’s a catch and the lady who wins his heart is one blessed lady 😍

A great, easy to read romance with a suspenseful twist. The twins were adorable and Marley and Max were very likable, complex characters. I loved their nicknames for each other! In reading their story I discovered a great new to me author and am looking forward to reading the rest of this series including book 1!

Max and Marley! Even their names are perfect together. I did not get a chance to read Finding Starlight before I read this book, but it wasn’t exactly necessary. Best believe, I will be reading book #1 next. This book has it all, revenge, hot one night stands, surprise pregnancy, second chance. Throw in some criminal mysteries and there you have it. A trope for everyone! I can’t wait for the next book to come!

Chasing Redemption: A Small Town, Romantic Suspense (The Quimby Grove Series Book 2)

As much as I loved Beckett and Ellawyn’s story I think I loved Max and Marley’s just a bit more.

There are so many little things that happen and bring the story together and make it that much better for me. I hated having to work because that meant I wasn’t able to continue reading this great book.

Max kept thinking about the one who got away without so much as a name which ended up being his only regret. Marley is in the same boat, thinking about that amazing nameless guy.

I have been nothing but impressed with this author. She has two books under belt including this one and you would never know it while reading her work. I cannot wait to read her next book, I think she can go far.

This is the 2nd book in the Quimby Grove series but the first I read. It was so good. The love just oozed off the page. A chance meeting one night, and then again years later. Marley and Max’s lives are forever entangled after the night they could never forget. Can they find the path to each other, or will they allow others to stand in the way of their love for each other?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is the second in a series. I read the first one and loved the continuation of the characters. However, this book can definitely be read as a stand alone. One of the main characters is Max Quinn, and he owns a bar in Quimby Grove Max meets Marley on a beach for an illicit moment, and he doesn’t even know Marley’s name. When they meet again 5 years later, Max is surprised that his feelings for Marley haven’t changed and shocked to learn that he has a kid with Marley. This was a sweet and enjoyable story. I enjoyed reading this book and reading more of the characters from Quimby Grove. My one complaint was that I felt that the language was unnecessarily excessive. Overall, it is a great story with a sweet romance.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After I read Finding Starlight, the first book in the Quimby Grove Series, I couldn’t wait to read Chasing Redemption, the second in the series. This book did not disappoint! Shannon Nikole has once again written a beautiful story.
After they have a nameless encounter on the beach, Marley Halligan and Max Quinn seem to have gone on with their lives. Unbeknownst to Marley, Max has always wondered about the one that got away. When fate intervenes, Marley and Max are face to face and the spark is still there; can a surprise from Marley and a string of unusual events in Quimby Grove keep them together or tear them apart.
These characters are well written, and the twists and turns keep happening from beginning to the end, making it hard to put down.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is book two of the series. This book can be read as a standalone. I didn’t read book one (which I need to rectify very quickly) but didn’t feel lost reading book two.

Max and Marley met by chance. Marley is done. Who in their right mind asks their ex to coordinate their wedding. Marley stumbles upon Max on the beach as she’s trying to escape it all. She didn’t expect the repercussions of her one night stand with Max. She also never expected to run into him again even though Max couldn’t ask for more. Max wants another shot. Max and Marley try finding their spark but is it still there?

This book pulls you in right from the start! I was sucked in. There is a bit of mystery which also keeps you reading. I really enjoyed this book. Marley is a great character. I really enjoyed following her story. Max is great too. Overall, very well written!

This has been one of my recent favorite series out there. The story continues on with Max and Marley. We all know how he mentioned the girl on the beach and hoping one day he may see her again. Well thanks to Ellie, his dream came true. It came with more than he imagined though. This connection they have is just as amazing as Ellie and Beckett. I can’t wait for another book!

I enjoyed reading this romance story. One of the things I enjoyed most about this book is the author’s ability to use details to not only make her story come to life but also the characters pop. This is a well written story that is written with a lot of heart and emotion. I enjoyed the characters and how they pulled me into their world with ease. They have great growth and chemistry throughout the story. They not only bring romance but also some suspense. I found this book to be fast paced, engaging and entertaining. What fate has in store for these characters you don’t want to miss. Will there be a happily ever after or torn apart? I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely devoured this book. I read the first book in the Quimby Grove series last year and it was amazing so I had high expectations for this book and I was not let down. The writing in this book is done so well and I adored each character just like I did in the first book. This story is a second chance romance which usually isn’t my favorite but I liked this being a one-night stand situation where they just by chance see each other again and it goes from there. The story was unique enough in this trope that I did not feel like I was reading a story that has already been told which can be hard to do in second-chance romances. The other thing I loved about this story is the added suspense and mystery going on in the town. There is a perfect mix of spice, plot, drama, and love. It felt genuine and I really believed that Max and Marley were meant to be together and raise their twins together. Watching Max become a dad to kids he did not know existed was so sweet and he was so great all around. Their romance and family coming together was fast paced but did not feel rushed. It felt very natural and normal and the writing style really helped with that. I felt this family’s love as I was reading and it was lovely. Highly recommend this read and this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This one grabs you right from the get go and I read this entire book in one sitting!!

We get reacquainted with Max, who we met in Finding Starlight. I’m excited that he is featured in this story while still learning more about Beckett and Ellawyn. Max is on the beach playing his music and a drop dead gorgeous woman with a bottle of wine saunters his way. Marley is over it. She’s not only been the maid of honor but also the wedding coordinator for her ex-boyfriend. What a drag!

Before they know it, Max and Marley are all tangled up on the beach in a one night stand. They don’t know each other’s names, where they live, or anything about the other. They part ways and don’t think they’ll ever see each other again but neither of them forget the other.

Marley is back in Quimby Grove when she sees him and he sees her. She’s working so she’s not able to talk to him right away but when she finally does, she has news for him. He’s a dad.

Max realizes his life just took a MAJOR turn and he’s hoping it’s one for the better. Can he be a good dad to Jax and Izzy? What about a supportive significant other to Marley?

Life throws all kinds of curveballs as there are several different crimes being committed all of a sudden in Quimby Cove. The subject of the crime? Marley…but she’s innocent in it all.

I enjoyed this book but would have enjoyed it much more without all the unnecessary language. It was a bit excessive. The story in itself was intriguing and I look forward to hearing about Avery and Keenan!!

This is the second book in this series and it is just as addictive as the first. I enjoyed the playfulness of the characters and the strong storyline. These two main characters have such a connection it was wonderful to watch them navigate their togetherness and lives. I was kept on the edge of my seat once the suspense started.

I enjoyed this one immensely and look forward to more from this author and in this series. This has a nice flow, suspense and many happy times.

Chasing Redemption is the second installment in the Quimby Grove series and it did not disappoint. It was full of steam, drama, romance, a bit of mystery, and thrills. What started out as a one night stand turned into the family that neither Marley nor Max new they needed. It’s a story about finding your soul mate in unexpected places, a story of reuniting and well redemption. It’ll make you smile, and if you’re a softy like me tear up. It’ll have you appreciating the wonderful people in your life. I highly recommend this series to everyone. While it is a series this story can be read alone and you’d still be able to follow everything. I cannot wait for the next one!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love this series! After reading book 2 Chasing Redemption I love it even more. This author knows how to pull at one’s heartstrings the right way, and to add in just enough drama/fear to keep you on the edge of your seat. One becomes invested in these characters based on how they’re written. I will also say this, though it’s a series this book very well works as a standalone novel.
Max and Marley have both been through their fair share of misery in life. Maybe that’s why they are drawn to one another. Though they never expected that one night would lead to a world more. That they would still crave and what the other. Problem they don’t know who the other person is.
Max never thought he’d see her again, besides hoping otherwise. But there she was, by Ellie’s side on her big day. Little did he know that not only was she walking back into his life, but an instant family as well. Unfortunately someone was out to hurt/scare Marley and Max couldn’t have that.
One truly becomes invested in these characters. You get mad for them, sad for them, you feel happy for them. The author makes you feel like you know these characters personally by the words used on the page. I look forward to more potential books in this seires.

I was so excited to go back to Quimby Grove so we could see how Max’s story played out and it did not disappoint! We get to meet Marley, the one who got away that fateful night on the beach, who runs into Max and shocks him with a surprise, they had twins. It was so wonderful getting to watch Max and Marley grow as a couple and find their footing together as they navigated uncharted waters as a family. Luckily we had Ellawyn and Beckett, from the first story, to pop in and lend a hand as needed. As always, the residents of Quimby Grove not only have matters of the heart to deal with, but a suspenseful mystery to deal with as well. The author did an amazing job with the flow of the story, while keeping the reader on high alert as to who the bad guy was. Numerous times I found myself internally yelling at the characters, this is who is doing all the horrible stuff, only to have another twist thrown at me. The final conclusion completely threw me for a loop! If you like steamy heartwarming romance with a dash of suspense, the Quimby Grove books are for you! I read the first book, but I think you could read this one as a standalone.

I have to say I did not read book one of this series and I am going to have to go back and do so. This story was absolutely fantastic. The beginning was so sexy and hot. And then to find each other 5 years later after not having a clue of each others names or anything about each other. Fantastic storyline with just the right amount of heat and suspense. Love that even though she was from a different state, those closest to him welcomed her with open arms and embraced their relationship. Great story and I am DEFINITELY going to be going back and reading the first book in this series. (However this story was a total stand alone, didn’t feel confused about anything or any of the characters).

The author had a wonderful and engaging writing style that certainly kept my attention throughout.

It ticked all of the boxes for me and I could not put it down once I had started reading. I loved the main characters. Their connection felt so real and believable. It drew me into the story and I just had to see their ending.
This is an author that I am only recently familiar with but I am enjoying what I see so far. This series has been a strong series and this book has easily been my favourite so far. I love discovering new authors and I cannot want to discover more from this one.

This was my first read of the series and it was good! At first I felt like the book was too fast paced, but it slowed down and got really good at the end. Max is such a lovable character. I’m not really into the surprise pregnancy troupe, but it was done very well in this book. Based on this book, I’m guessing each book is about different characters of the same friend group. I love books like that and will be reading book one and book two.

5 Big Fabulous Bright Stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I have to say I LOVE book 1 of this series but I LOVED with all my heart and soul this book 2 of the series! Marley and Max…….their story from beginning to end was wonderful…a spicy beginning with no attachments to long lost love’s finding their way back together.

Marley and Max met by chance on a beach…..after Marley departs from a wedding that she was part of due to not wanting no more part of it…..and meeting Max and some champagne and flirty banter it was an evening they both never forgot…even though they never knew each other’s name. Marley goes back to New York to her life as a event planner and Max goes back to Quimby Grove to his bar that he owns.

A few years later, just by some chance….Marley and Max meet again…under different circumstances and event planning for an upcoming wedding…and Marley now has to come clean to Max to becoming a parent that he was not aware of.

Between trying to figure out how they fit into each others lives and also trying to raise children together…..Marley and Max held a flame for each other since their night on the beach. As they are trying to piece everything together…in the beautiful town of Quimby Grove..someone or something is lurking in the shadows causing a bit of chaos of break ins and crime. Will Marley and Max be safe…..

I loved this story and totally devoured every page. I highly recommend reading book 1 as characters from book 1 are also tied into book 2. I am praying for another book to this series…

What a GREAT READ. This is the second book in the series about the residents of Quimby Grove and I cannot wait for the third that I can see coming.<br />After meeting Max in the previous book it was fantastic that he got his own story. We still follow Becket and Ellawyn as the story starts at their wedding. The three friends are really close it is lovely the way they all interact throughout each other’s stories. Book shops, Bars, Florists and Cake shops make Quimby Grove sound idyllic. Maybe not is all ir seems with some of the residents.<br />A true romantic at heart Max hunts for his beach princess every year since their hook up, he is blown away when his beach princess is his best friend’s wedding planner.<br />Marley brings with her twins and trouble when she stays in Quimby Grove. The town falls victim to arson, murder and kidnapping all together give this story all of the romance, heartache, mystery and suspense, make this another brilliant read.

Chasing Redemption is the 2nd book in the Quimby Grove series. It can be read as a standalone book, but reading the first book with help give you a better feel for the town and the supporting characters. Five years ago, Max and Marley ‘met’ on a beach and then parted ways until now. Marley interrupts Max’s life with shocking news and both of their lives are suddenly altered in ways they could have only imagined. Chasing Redemption is a sweet story about reconnecting with those we lost and finding family in the most unlikely ways. Once again, the town was its own character and makes it hard to not love the place. I hope this series continues and we get a chance to look more into Avery’s story.

Chasing Redemption
By: Shannon Nikole

This is the second book in the Quimby Grove Series. While, it is not necessary to have read the first and it does act as a stand alone, many of the characters are from the first book in the series and it does sort of help to have read the first book. I truly enjoyed this story and the characters. I liked the addition of Marley and thought that her interactions with Max were so amazing. I also thought that this was such a relatable story. I truly love Quimby Grove and cannot wait for more of the characters and this wonderful small town. I wish that there were real Quimby Grove and Starlight books. I would love to visit them. These wonderful characters are becoming something that I really love to read about. I also love that this features a suspense element. The crimes that were occuring while Max and Marley were trying to figure out their lives really kept me wanting to read on. I really wanted to keep reading but I also didn’t want the story to end! I absolutely love Quimby Grove and recommend it to anyone!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed being back in the small town world of Quimby Grove, and having loved the first book in this series I was looking forward to reading this story, and I was not disappointed. Marley and Max are strangers when they meet at the beach and have a one night stand, and having not even told each other their names they have no way of finding one another again. Marley works as an event planner in New York City and is a single mother to twins, a reminder of her night with Max. When Marley has to go to Quimby Grove to plan a wedding she did not expect to come face to face with Max. Max is just as shocked to find the woman, his one that got away, at his best friend’s wedding.
Marley has to explain to Max that he’s a father, and he’s determined to get Marley to stay in town. Just as they are navigating parenthood together, an unusual string of crimes are committed in Quimby Grove and Marley appears to be in the middle of them all. This is an enjoyable and engaging second chance at romance story, with enough drama and suspense to keep me hooked. The author does a great job of bringing the setting to life and the small town feeling really comes across in the narrative. Marley and Max are likeable and relatable characters and their chemistry came across in the writing. I look forward to returning to Quimby Grove again!

Chasing Redemption (Quimby Grove #2)Chasing Redemption by Shannon Nikole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book in the Quimby Grove Series. It’s a really great small town, second chance, romantic suspense novel. It can be read as a standalone but as the main characters from the first book play quite a large role in this book, I’d say, if you are going to read both books, then read them in order to get the best experience.
A memorable one night stand, if you can call their frantic coupling on the beach a one night stand, totally changes the lives of Max Quinn and Marley Halligan. A chance meeting at Max’s best friend’s wedding where Marley is working as a wedding planner brings the 2 back into each other’s lives. Can they rekindle the spark that they had that fateful night on the beach? Can Max handle the shock that he is father to awesome 4 year old twins?
I absolutely adored reading Max and Marley’s story. Max as a dad is totally swoonworthy. I loved reading his interactions with the adorable Izzy and Jaz who were such scene stealers.
With this being a romantic suspense, the added bonus of the danger, drama and intrigue, really added to the entertainment factor of this book. I was really hooked on the story and did not want to put this book down.
I really hope we get more from this series and with the little snippets we got from Avery and Kennon, I’m hoping they are next
