My review:
I will read anything that Emma St. Clair writes. You never know what you are going to get when two authors write together, especially if one is new to you.
Series: State of Grace #3
Author: Tammy L. Gray
Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Romance, Christian Fiction
Publisher: Bethany House

My review:
Love and the Dream Come True is the third book in the State of Grace series by Tammy L. Gray. While it could act as a stand-alone novel, I recommend reading the first two books to understand the history of the characters, especially Cameron.
Series: Riverbend #3

Genre: Contemporary Romance, Fiction,
Publisher: Thomas Nelson

My review:
What a heartbreaking beginning to Harvest Moon! It is so heavy but completely captures your attention. While it is the third book in the Riverbend series, it can be read as a stand-alone novel.
Series: Extreme Measures #2
Author: Lynette Eason
Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Suspense, Romance,
Publisher: Revell

My review:
While Crossfire is the second book in the Extreme Measures series, it can easily be a stand-alone novel.

My review:
The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip is Sara Brunsvold's debut novel. However, everything about this novel screams seasoned writer. I can't wait to see what Brunsvold writes next.
Happy Friday, my bookish friends!
Any
plans for the weekend? I plan to catch up on a few things.
Welcome back to First Line Friday hosted by Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and leave a comment with the first line (or your link). This week I am (finally!) reading The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip by Sara Brunsvold.
Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing Building a Future by Amy Clipston. It is set to release August 2, 2022.

It took me a hot minute to remind myself of the characters from Roots of Wood and Stone, but that didn't stop my enjoyment of this book.

My review:
I wouldn't exactly call the first lines gripping as Elysium Tide starts in the middle of a surgery, but I was fascinated (even though I am squeamish). I found Elysium Tide fast-paced, unpredictable, and hard to put down.

The View from Coral Cove caught my attention from the beginning. We are introduced to Maya as a young girl (in the prologue) and then the story begins with adult Maya.

My Review:
What Remains True was my first introduction to Nancy Naigle. The cover of the book drew me in, as did the small-town feel.

My Review:
This was my second time reading The Great Alone. I do not normally reread a book, but this one was for my book club, and it had been long enough that I didn't remember most of it.
