The Bodyguard's Fall

Title: The Bodyguard's Fall 

Series: Falling for Autumn #1

Author: Cindy Steel

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

This is the first book of an interconnected series set in Vermont. The books seem to be written at the same time, just told from different characters' perspectives.

Baby Llama Drama

Title: Baby Llama Drama

Series: Sweet As Sugar Maple #2

Author: Kate Watson

Narrators: Stephanie Rose & Rock Engle

My Review:

While this book looks like a light and fluffy escapism read, it is anything but. The story deals with abandonment issues, infertility, pregnancy complications, loss, anxiety, and more.

In a Word, Yes

Title: In a Word, Yes

Author: Kit Tosello

Source: library

My Review:

Warning: this book starts slowly. It took me a while to get into it, and I kept wondering if I would enjoy it. I kept reading because I loved Kit Tosello's first book, and I am so glad I did not give up on this one.

The Escape Plan

Title: The Escape Plan

Series: Only Magic in the Building #8

Author: Katie Bailey

Source: Kindle Unlimited 

My Review:

The Escape Plan is the final installment of the Only Magic in the Building series. These books are all set in the same historic building, with light magical elements. The "magical" element is different in each book.

Room For Cream

Title: Room For Cream

Series: Maya Davis #4

Author: Erynn Mangum

Source: Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

I am not going to lie, I was sad when I started this book and realized it was 10 YEARS later! And that the perspective was now from Presley's point of view, not Maya's as in the first three books in the series.

Cool Beans

Title: Cool Beans

Series: Maya Davis #1

Author: Erynn Mangum

Source: Own

My Review:

Okay, I loved this book. Maya Davis is quirky and fun. She tells the truth with no filter. I love that she writes everything down on sticky notes. And, of course, her caffeine addiction amused me. Her friendship with Jack is fun and flirty (although she doesn't recognize that it is flirty).

Hope For Tomorrow

Title: Hope For Tomorrow

Series: Hope Ranch #2

Author: Elizabeth Maddrey

Source: Own

My Review:

I didn't realize it, but Hope for Tomorrow is the second book in the Hope Ranch series. I have not read the first book and feel like I should have before reading this one. Despite owning several of Elizabeth Maddrey's books on Kindle (apparently including the first in this series), this is the first book I have read by her.

Honeysuckle Breeze

Title: Honeysuckle Breeze

Series: Sugartree Romance #2

Author: B.R. Goodwin

Source: Own

My Review:

Honeysuckle Breeze is the second book in the Sugartree Romance series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone novel. The series is about a sibling group, each one finding their happily-ever-after.

My Review:

This book had me simultaneously wanting to gobble it up while also trying to take it slow and savor it. Bookmarked For Love is the third and final book in the Checking Out Love series. The books can be read in any order.
