Series: Kissing a Kent Brother #1
Author: Dulcie Dameron
Source: Library
My Review:
So, I had to go back and read the first book in the Kissing a Kent Brother series, since I had already read the second one. They are better read in order, but can be read as stand alone novels. I am looking forward to reading the third book when it comes out.

Author: Emma St. Clair
Narrator: Hannah Vandeven

My Review:
I love Emma St. Clair's books, but it was very obvious that this was an earlier work, as Emma's writing has matured. I also wasn't wild about the narrator.

My Review:
Planning for Nickie is the second in the Holidays in Hadley Springs series by Tasha Hackett. While it could be read as a stand-alone novel, I HIGHLY recommend reading Waiting for Gilbert first.

Original review below:
Waiting for Gilbert is the first book I have read by Tasha Hackett, but it will not be the last. I was in the middle of reading this book when I knew I would want to reread it. I am not a huge re-reader, but I want a physical copy for my keeper shelf!

My Review:
Tempest at Annabel's Lighthouse is one of those books that is hard to review. So, I am just going to give my incoherent thoughts.

My Review:
While Wishing for Mistletoe is part of a series, each novel is standalone, written by different authors, and set on the same island.

Still Waters is the second book in The Amish of Shepherd's Creek series, but can easily be read as a standalone novel. There is enough explanation in this book that you wouldn't miss much, but I will always recommend reading the series in order!

My Review:
Even if I Perish is told through a mix of letters and the character's perspective. It is based on the true accounts of Mary Cornish during WWII, and the CORB program that sent children from England to other countries. It is a harrowing story of loss, devastation, determination, and faith.

My Review:
Fairest of Heart is the first of Karen Witemeyer's Texas Ever After series. With the stories being fairy tale retellings, they don't need to be read in any particular order.

My Review:
One of the things I enjoy about Ginny L. Yttrup's stories is that they are all standalone novels. Convergence is a masterfully woven story that immediately sucked me in.
