My Review:
I love Annah's books and was excited to listen to The Golden Goal. The narrators are okay, I didn't like the male narrator's female voice.

My Review:
Trail of Threats by Jessica Patch is part of the Mountain Country K-9 Unit series, but can easily be read independently.

Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Fiction,

My Review:
If All Else Sails is a stand-alone novel by Emma St. Clair that will be released in August. Based on the side characters, it does have the potential to become a series.

Pixels and Paint is Kristi Ann Hunter's first contemporary romance and I am here for it! She also writes historical fiction with humor.
Series: Only Magic in the Building #1
Author: Emma St. Clair
Publisher: Create if Writing, LLC
Genre: Contemporary Romance, RomCom,

My Review:
I am starting to think Emma St. Clair could write anything and I would enjoy it. The Serendipity is the first book in a multi-author series Only Magic in the Building. I am not normally a "magic" person, but, again, Emma St. Clair, plus the fact that it wasn't talking animals, or flying people, it was more teleportation and enjoying the story for what it is.

My Review:
Love, Lace, and Minor Alterations was V. Joy Palmer's debut novel. She has since written two more books about the side characters in this book.
Series: Sewing in SoCal #5
Author: Sarah Monzon
Publisher: Radiant Publications
Genre: Christian Fiction, Romcom, Contemporary Romance

My Review:
Betsy is the fifth (and final!) book in the Sewing in SoCal series by Sarah Monzon. While each book can be read as a stand-alone novel, I recommend reading them in order as the friends are in each book and the timeline continues to build. Otherwise, you will get minor spoilers from the earlier books.

My Review:
Amanda is the fourth book in the Sewing in SoCal series by Sarah Monzon. While each book can be read as a stand-alone novel, I recommend reading them in order as the friends are in each book and you will get minor spoilers to the earlier books.

Nicole is the third book in the Sewing in SoCal series by Sarah Monzon. While each book can be read as a stand-alone novel, I recommend reading them in order as the friends are in each book and you will get minor spoilers to the earlier books.

Publisher: Independently Published
Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance

My Review:
He's So Not My Valentine is the stand-alone sequel to A Not So Fictional Fall. While they don't have to be read in order, I will always recommend reading them that way! The two main characters do meet in the previous book, A Not So Fictional Fall, which will broaden your understanding of their relationship.

My Review:
Wedding at Sea by Melissa Tagg is a dramatic conclusion to the series. Happy sigh. I reiterate what I said in my review of A Seaside Wonder: read the books in order! Do not read this book without reading the first two or you will get major spoilers, and you do not want this series spoiled. It is so enchanting.
Series: Muir Harbor #2
Author: Melissa Tagg
Publisher: Lakespur Press
Genre: Christian Fiction, mystery, Contemporary Romance

My Review:
A Seaside Wonder overlaps just a little bit with Autumn by the Sea, but now it is Indi's perspective. Details the reader didn't even know they needed are revealed, immediately engaging the reader. I highly recommend reading this series in order. You will get huge spoilers by reading it out of order.

My Review:
While Rescued by Love is the fourth book in the Park City Firefighter Romance series, it can easily stand alone. The multi-authored series makes it easy to pick and choose from.

Autumn by the Sea is the first book in the Muir Harbor series. The series needs to be read in order as each book builds upon the previous one.

Original Review (2020) Original cover is the yellow one:

My Review:
What I love about Shelley Shepard Gray's books is that you are immediately drawn into the story. There are not long descriptions or introductions. A is for Amish is about four siblings thinking about becoming Amish.
