He's so Not my Valentine

Title: He's So Not My Valentine

Series: Cataloochee Coffee Shop Romance #2

Author: Savannah Scott

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance

Source: Library

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.

Wedding At Sea

Title: Wedding at Sea

SeriesMuir Harbor #3

AuthorMelissa Tagg

Publisher: Lakespur Press

Genre: Christian Fiction,

Genre: Contemporary Romance, Mystery, Christian Fiction,

Source: Library

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.

A Seaside Wonder

Title: A Seaside Wonder

SeriesMuir Harbor #2

AuthorMelissa Tagg

Publisher: Lakespur Press

Genre: Christian Fiction, mystery, Contemporary Romance

Source: Own

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.

Rescued by Love

Title: Rescued by Love

Series: Park City Firefighter Romance #4

Author: Cami Checketts

Publisher: Birch River Publishing

Genre: Christian Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Novella, 

Source: Kindle own

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.

Jocelyn

Title: Jocelyn: City Girls Don't Fall for Cowboys

Series: Sewing in SoCal #2

Author: Sarah Monzon

Publisher: Radiant Publishers

Genre: Romantic Comedy, Contemporary Romance, Christian Fiction,

My Review:

Jocelyn is the second 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.

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.

The Nice Guy Next Door

Title: The Nice Guy Next Door

Series: When in Waverly #1

Author: Haley Zaragoza

Publisher: Independently Published

Genre: Contemporary Romance, RomCom, Fiction

Source: Hoopla/Kindle Unlimited

My Review:

I started listening to The Nice Guy Next Door with narrators Rachel Perry and Joe Hempel. However, I didn't like the female narration.She overdramatized her narration, and it got on my nerves. For example, when things weren't going right with the female character, she had the whiniest voice. I just couldn't deal with it, so I switched to reading it.

Title: Mistletoe Season

Authors: Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller, Pepper Basham

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Genre: Christian Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Chrsitmas

My Review:

Mistletoe Season has three Christmas novellas in it. I had not read anything by Sheila Roberts before, but I have loved several books by Kathleen Fuller and Pepper Basham. I went into it thinking I could skip a story if I didn't enjoy it, but it wasn't necessary because all three stories are wonderful.
