The Love Fix is another tale of a dysfunctional immediate family leading to closed off young adults who struggle to accept relationships until they build a found family. Jill Shalvis is my favorite when it comes to heart and humor. Topics which are uncomfortable and tragic are worked through with care and compassion. The characters […]
This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre or topic. I’m doing something different this year. I’m going to highlight series by favorite authors. I chose the authors based on being some of my favorite authors and having multiple […]
I love the Sunrise Cove series which is a newer one. Not that I don’t love the older series because I do. This series is set in a beautiful place and has characters which shine. They have the quirky, realistic foibles one can love. The humor and banter is always enjoyable. Olive is a very […]
Sunrise Cove series books are completely standalones, so you could read them in any order. The beautiful setting is the only thing in common. I don’t think the town is too big so I don’t know why none of these folks know each other. lol Anna and Owen, like many others in the series, have […]
Sunrise Cove series has the warmest, loveliest people with the worst backgrounds ever. The books are completely standalones. I love the farm setting with the rescue animals and the various plants growing. Luna has created a group of misfits who are loved as family: her best friend and husband, her gay ex-boyfriend and his […]
I was more than ready to continue with the Sunrise Cove series; the books are completely standalones. The setting is inspiring and beautiful. Harper comes to town, where she was last happy as a child with her mother, to open a bakery and start fresh. Ivy is a runaway teen who comes to town for […]

Lauren is her estranged grand niece. Knox is the son of her former house cleaner. Alice is the daughter of a car mechanic, and who ran a show […]
The Sunrise Cove series continues and it seems like a place anyone could love. The beauty of the outdoors and all the activities would be awesome. The books are standalones. Our couple to be actually, in The Friendship Pact, were friends in high school and grew up here. Tae is back after college running an […]
Jill Shalvis never fails to write a story which is heartwarming, with characters I am wanting to grow and succeed. They are often holding themselves back from any relationships either to not get hurt again or because they are guilty and feel they don’t deserve love. Jane is definitely in the first camp, having experienced […]
The books in the Wildstone series don’t seem to have much connection as far as characters or even locations, so you don’t really have to read them in order. There is a romance or two in each, with much more of a life fiction feel. Emma had a horrible accident, was in a coma and […]
