Liz's Road Trip by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The relationship that Liz has with her Gran is one that most people would love to have. Gran raised Liz since age 10 when her mom died. Now, Gran has passed and it's in her wishes that Liz go on a trip to Florida to settle things there. Little did Liz know, the Gran she knew wasn't the same person that her friends knew.

A call from WATTS one day started changing everything. Mark Watts becomes a new friend for Liz and she soon finds out that Mark lives in her grandmother's 7 million dollar home in Florida. With so many questions that have been unanswered, Liz takes this trip to meet up with Mark and others who knew her Gran. Life will forever be different after this trip. As Gran would say though, "Live with no regrets!"

This book is full of raw emotion. One minute I was crying, the next I was laughing, then I was ready to throw the book and hit something! LOL A very enjoyable read!

The Happily Ever After Bookstore by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bookstores are amongst the happiest places on all the earth! Leona is the owner of the bookstore and she loves interjecting into the lives of others. When Sadie stops in to grab the newest book on the shelf and, quite literally, runs into Charlie who is buying a book for his grandmother, Leona works her magic and brings smiles to many faces.
Fiona is in a new town and stumbles into Leona's bookstore. Fiona has a new book that's about to be available to the public and Leona wants to host a book signing party for her. It's that flyer in the corner that catches Fiona's eye though. She's not sure she ever wants to see her ex-husband Prince again. Then he walks into the store during the book signing...
The pipes are a mess and water is leaking everywhere but here comes Jon to the rescue. He's always wanted to buy this old dilapidated building and fix it up but the codgy old man who owns it won't even consider selling. Then the pipes burst and Leona's bookstore is a total loss. Maybe the old man will change his mind now...

This story features 3 couples with a 4th playing a huge silent role! I was having a hard time believing in this story at first because, well, it just seemed to good to be true. However, the more I read the more I fell in love and by the end of this book, these characters almost felt like family! I have never read this author before but have since added all her books to my TBR pile! I love how she writes a clean novel that is enduring and leaves the reader feeling like they get their HEA after finishing the book!
