I know if I want a story that will keep me guessing until the very end to read Jaime Jo Wright. The Premonition at Withers Farm fit the bill perfectly.

My Review:
I don't know why it took me so long to get to this book! Chicken About Love by Kaci Lane is the second book in the Bama Boys Sweet RomCom series. I recommend reading them in order, although they would be okay to read as stand-alone novels.

My Review:
After reading The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip by Sara Brunsvold, I could not wait to read The Divine Proverb of Streusel. The stories could not be more different.

My Review:
Piecing It All Together surprised me in that it is a dual-time book. I was expecting it to be completely Amish, but it is also historical fiction.

My Review:
The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady is Sharon J. Mondragón's debut novel. It reads like she is a seasoned novelist.

Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Christian Fiction

My Review:
While Wildflower Falls by Denise Hunter could be read as a stand-alone novel, I highly recommend reading the Riverbend series in order. There are cameos from characters in previous books which will help the reader make all the connections.

My Review:
The Sheriff's Promise is book number two in the Thunder Ridge series. I have enjoyed my visits to Thunder Ridge. I am sad to see this series end (I started with book three, then one, and finally two). I recommend reading them in order 😂.

You Make It Feel Like Christmas has a beautiful, eye-catching cover. It is a quick read, and not just because it is a novella.
Title: A Cross-Country Wedding
Series: Road Trip Romance #2
Author: Courtney Walsh
Publisher: Sweethaven Press
Genre: Christmas, Christian Fiction, Romcom, Contemporary Romance

My Review:
I was finished reading Christmas stories. But, once I finished A Cross-Country Christmas, I HAD to immediately read A Cross-Country Wedding. While you could read this one as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading A Cross-Country Christmas first. A Cross-Country Christmas is Lauren and Will's story, and this book is about their wedding.

My Review:
I was going to read A Cross-Country Wedding, but when I realized it was the second book in the series, I started with A Cross-Country Christmas. I am glad I did. The second book will give spoilers to this one, so if you haven't read them, start with this one, and then immediately start the second one (like I did 😉).

This & Every Christmas is the first book I have read by Jaycee Weaver, but it will not be my last. This is the first novella in the Sinclair Sisters trilogy.
Series: Apple Cart County Christmas #1

Narrator: Lorana Hoopes

Genre: Christmas, RomCom, Contemporary Romance

My Review:
Christmas in Dixie immediately pulled me in. Lorana Hoopes is an amazing narrator and I could listen to her voice all day. Kaci Lane has written the perfect Christmas story, full of humor, heart, and angst. I lost track of how many times "Are you ok?" was said, and I will be hearing it in my sleep, but this story was hilarious. I want to read everything she has ever written!

My Review:
I love the cover of All's Fair in Love and Christmas. It represents the story well. This is a stand-alone story by Sarah Monzon, but I would love to see it turn into a series with some of the side characters.
