A Groom of One's Own

Title: A Groom of One's Own

Series: Appies #1

Author: Emma St. Clair

Publisher: Create If Writing LLC

Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Romance, Humor,

Source: Author Provided & Bought paperback

My Review:

A Groom of One's Own is the first book in Emma St. Clair and Jenny Proctor's The Appies series. Even though it is the first in the series, I highly recommend reading Just Don't Fall by Emma St. Clair and Absolutely Not In Love by Jenny Proctor, because those two books introduce us to the Appies (the hockey team), setting the stage for this book.

Knocking

Title: Knocking

Series: New Beginnings #1

Author: Robin Merrill

Publisher: New Creation Publisher

Genre: Christian Fiction, Contemporary, Women's Fiction, Inspirational

Source: Kindle Own

My Review:

Knocking by Robbin Merrill is a hidden gem. It has been languishing on my Kindle for three-ish years.  I am glad I finally forced myself to read it (which sounds awful, but it's hard for me to pick up the books on the Kindle, lol).

My Review:

The Cost of Control Why We Crave It, The Anxiety it Gives Us, and the Real Power God Promises is the first book I have read by Sharon Hodde Miller, but it won't be the last. I checked it out of the library, but by the end of the second chapter it was one I knew I needed to own.

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 😂.

A Cross-Country Wedding

Title: A Cross-Country Wedding

Series: Road Trip Romance #2

Author: Courtney Walsh

Publisher: Sweethaven Press

Genre: Christmas, Christian Fiction, Romcom, Contemporary Romance

Source: Kindle Unlimited

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.

Publisher: Bethany House

Genre: Christian Fiction, Christmas, Romcom, Contemporary Romance

My Review:

I love the cover of All's Fair in Love and Christmas. It represents the story well. This is a stand-alone story by Sarah Monzon, but I would love to see it turn into a series with some of the side characters.

Crossroads

Title: Crossroads

Series: Holly #5

Author: C. C. Warrens

My Review:

Crossroads is book number five in the Holly series, although all of C. C. Warrens books are loosely connected. Her Holly series needs to be read in order.
