Notebook Mysteries Murderous Christmas Mischief by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I look forward to these Christmas novellas in this series! Set in Chicago in the 1880's, Emma, Jeremy, their family and friends are all ready to celebrate a quiet, no frills Christmas. It's been awhile since they could just enjoy the company of each other without some sort of crime taking place. Dora, who's battling a fever, happens to look up and is convinced that she sees someone sinister outside the window. So much for a non-working Christmas! It takes her a bit to convince the team that they should look into this and eventually, they do.

It's a quick, exciting read that will have you wanting more!

Neill Archer is looking for a way to fund his dream of a ranch and land to go with it. He starts asking around about work available in the area while at church and before he can leave, he finds a note in his Bible with an opportunity for an interview. There is a widow needing a new roof put on her house. When Neill arrives, he doesn't receive the warmest welcome and then is surprised to learn who the widow is. He's gonna fix her roof but there might be more involved than originally intended.

I LOVED this novella but I didn't want it to end when it did. It was a super fast read and I kept wanting more of this story. I have really enjoyed this series from one of my all-time favorite historical fiction authors!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great read from one of my all-time favorite authors!

Jacob Sadler is looking to settle down and to deal with some past grievances. He returns to Cold Springs, Texas, after serving in the War Between the States. It's been 17 years since he's been here. The first day he's in town, he finds himself rescuing a young lad who broke his leg. He also meets Mollie Tate, who will eventually become Dr. Sadler's nurse.

Mollie was a difficult child who lived a difficult life. That is, until Uncle Curtis came in and rescued her and gave her a home. Mollie has a tender heart and tries to only see the best in others. She has Uncle Curtis on a pedestal, but not everyone sees him in that way.

A budding romance ensues between Dr. Sadler and his nurse Mollie, but can they put their personal differences for Uncle Curtis aside or will it destroy their relationship?

I loved this short novella! It's very short and sweet, but chocked full of adventure and a heartwarming story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a pretty fun and sometimes funny read. I found myself laughing out loud several times while enjoying this story.

Miss Wilhelmena Radcliff is someone that I would consider a brat! She's from a wealthy family and hasn't had to want for much in life. During her coming out party, her best friend of forever proposes marriage to her. She turns him down and subsequently, her life starts going downhill. Her dad loses a bunch of money in a business deal and "Willie" finds herself a wallflower among the New York society. It's at a ball that she runs into Mr. Edgar Wanamaker, the young man who was her best friend and who proposed marriage to her. It had been several years since they'd last seen each other and their meeting is rather humorous! Will they rekindle the flames or move on with their lives?

I think I loved Edgar's mom the most. She reminds me of a very sassy woman I once knew who kept everyone on their toes. This was an enjoyable, quick read and I look forward to continuing with this series!

Appalachian Serenade by Sarah Loudin Thomas

 

Appalachian Serenade by Sarah Loudin Thomas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the story of Delilah and Robert. Both have experienced life in different ways and begin to question where God will have them. When they meet up and come together, no one could predict the beauty that they would find amongst them!

This is a sweet romance that does have a religious focus, although not over the top. This story focuses on growing where God plants you and trusting Him to lead you to the right place(s) and people.

I look forward to reading more in this series!
