Granting Katelyn (Sweet Valley Series) by S.E. Reichert

 

Granting Katelyn by S.E. Reichert
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Sullivan sisters are a fabulous family that seems like a lot of fun. In book two of this series, we learn more about Katelyn and get to catch up on what Ellie's been up to.

Katelyn is restless and feels the need to travel again. When an opportunity comes up for her to go and help an injured horse, she's all in. She might be the only one who is though! The set-up came through a third party mutual friend so when Katelyn shows up at Grant Tennyson's farm to help rehabilitate his prize-winning thoroughbred, he's wondering where she came from. Grant is also not wanting her help and will do what he can to get her to leave.

Katelyn is full of sass and vinegar and finds a way into Grant's horse barn, as well as into his heart. She's not afraid to put him or anyone else in their place and she will prove that she's the right person for this job.

There is a lot of raw emotion in this story and it's one that goes by fairly quickly. My favorite character has to be the butler in this story though! I loved Katelyn and Grant but the butler stole my heart!

Back to the 80's by S.E. Reichert
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 stars

I feel like I've taken a walk back through time with this novel! I had so much fun reading about Blaine's store with all her retro clothing, clothes, music, and more! It's the kind of store I'd visit and spend hours in just remembering the "good ole days" of my childhood.

Blaine inherited this awesome store from her mother and she's super proud of all her accomplishments with it. One day, JT, the hairstylist next door in the strip mall, comes to deliver some bad news though. The mall has been bought and is scheduled for demolition. Everyone must be out and there's not much time.

Blaine, not one to back down from a challenge, makes a point to be present when the land developer crew walks through for a final inspection. Eric is in awe of her store but is really gunning for that title of partner in the family business. After meeting Blaine, Eric isn't so sure about these plans now. Then Blaine issues a bet that Eric can't pass up.

This is a fun read that transported me back in time, even if just for a few hours. I loved all the references to the time honored traditions of the 80's and even had a few great memories myself reliving this fun era of time.
