My Review:
Hammered by Love is the third book in Kaci Lane's Bama Boys Sweet RomCom series, but could easily be read as a stand-alone novel.
Series: Bama Boys Sweet RomCom #2

My Review:
I don't know why it took me so long to get to this book! Chicken About Love by Kaci Lane is the second book in the Bama Boys Sweet RomCom series. I recommend reading them in order, although they would be okay to read as stand-alone novels.
Happy
Friday, my bookish friends! I hadn't realized it had been so long since I did a First Line Friday post (Dec. 8!). I hope you
all have a great day and
weekend! First Line Friday is hosted by Carrie
at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader

Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Christian Fiction

My Review:
While Wildflower Falls by Denise Hunter could be read as a stand-alone novel, I highly recommend reading the Riverbend series in order. There are cameos from characters in previous books which will help the reader make all the connections.

My Review:
I was so excited to finally read Sadie's story in Sadie and the Bad Boy Billionaire. The first two books set the scene perfectly for Sadie and Ben. I highly recommend reading the series in order.

My Review:
The Sheriff's Promise is book number two in the Thunder Ridge series. I have enjoyed my visits to Thunder Ridge. I am sad to see this series end (I started with book three, then one, and finally two). I recommend reading them in order 😂.
Title: A Cross-Country Wedding
Series: Road Trip Romance #2
Author: Courtney Walsh
Publisher: Sweethaven Press
Genre: Christmas, Christian Fiction, Romcom, Contemporary Romance

My Review:
I was finished reading Christmas stories. But, once I finished A Cross-Country Christmas, I HAD to immediately read A Cross-Country Wedding. While you could read this one as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading A Cross-Country Christmas first. A Cross-Country Christmas is Lauren and Will's story, and this book is about their wedding.

My Review:
I was going to read A Cross-Country Wedding, but when I realized it was the second book in the series, I started with A Cross-Country Christmas. I am glad I did. The second book will give spoilers to this one, so if you haven't read them, start with this one, and then immediately start the second one (like I did 😉).

My Review:
While Stealing Adda is the first in the Head Over Hills series, each book stands alone. I have read the fourth book in the series, Splitting Harriet, and I am unsure how the books are connected.

My Review:
Absolutely Not in Love is the first book I have read that is solely written by Jenny Proctor. I have read others that she co-authored with Emma St. Clair. It is book seven of the Sweater Weather series. The books are loosely tied together by
their cozy fall romcom vibe and take place in the same town, Harvest
Hollow.

My Review:
Surrender Bay is the first book in the series, but each book easily stands alone. They are connected by location, not people.
