My review:
I have read several of Ginny Baird's books. They are enjoyable because they are clean, closed-door romance novels. However, The Duplicate Bride gave me mixed feelings.

Welcome back to Hope Harbor. I have read quite a few of the books in this series and have enjoyed them all. They can be read as stand-alone novels, but do have some repeat characters in each book.

Northanger Abbey
Title: Northanger Abbey
Author: Jane Austen
Publisher: Wordsworth
Source: Owned
My review:
Well, I enjoyed Northanger Abbey more than Sense and Sensibility. I think if I am really going to enjoy classics I need to listen to them on audio. That way I won't notice the long parts with no dialogue as much.

Author:Traci Hunter Abramson
Publisher: Covenant Communications

My review:
Dreams of Gold is the second book in the series. I strongly recommend reading the first book, An Unlikely Pair, as this book picks up right where that one left off.

Happy First Friday in January, friends! I hope you all are having a good week. Any plans for the weekend? I am cleaning stuff out, purging, and plan to do quite a bit of reading and blogging. Welcome back to
First Line Friday hosted by Carrie
at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader
for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and
leave a comment with the first line (or your link). This week I am reading Fresh Scars by Donna Mumma. This is one of the books I was supposed to read last year but I wasn't feeling it. It is MUCH better than I anticipated and sucked me right in.

Title: An Unlikely Pair
Series: Dream's Edge #1
Author: Traci Hunter Abramson
Publisher: Covenant Communications
Genre: Fiction/Clean Romance
My Review:
I was immediately drawn to this book by the beautiful cover. When I have had the opportunity to watch the Olympics, I always enjoyed watching pairs skating. It always amazed me what people could do on the ice, as in stuff I couldn't even do on dry land!

All Arranged
Title: All Arranged
Series: Luella Linley: License to Meddle #3
Author: Meredith Resce
Publisher: Golden Grain Publishing
Genre: Fiction/Humor
My Review:
I loved this book! While it is the third in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone. You will discover a little bit about characters from previous books, but no major spoilers. I have not read the first two books in the series, but I plan to ASAP.
