My Review:
A Broken Kind of Beautiful might be the book's title , but I think it can best be summed up as a messy kind of beautiful. The story is rich and deep, the characters are flawed but real, and the plotline flows seamlessly.

My Review:
One Last Play is the final book in the Sweet Peach series. This series follows a group of friends, and while it doesn't necessarily have to be read in order, you will get small spoilers by reading it out of order.

The Real Fake Fiance' is the third book in the Love in Mirror Valley series. I recommend reading them in order or risk a few spoilers. Otherwise, it does read fine on its own.

Narrator: Becky Doughty

My Review:
Gia and the Blast From the Past is the fourth and final book in the Gustafson Girls series. I highly recommend reading them in order since each book builds upon the one before it, and this is an epic conclusion to the series! Just as in the previous books, Becky Doughty narrates this one as well and I am in awe of how she kept each character's voice unique and consistent throughout the series.

Knocking by Robbin Merrill is a hidden gem. It has been languishing on my Kindle for three-ish years. I am glad I finally forced myself to read it (which sounds awful, but it's hard for me to pick up the books on the Kindle, lol).

My Review:
A Sweethaven Summer was Courtney Walsh's debut novel back in 2012! I can't believe I have been reading her for years and never read this novel. Now that I have rectified that, I look forward to continuing the series.
