Poor Alex is the only one of his siblings without a family.

Her cooking is incredible, and it will be a bonus to have something to occupy his time.

Series: Edenbrooke #1
Author: Julianne Donaldson

My Review:
I have a confession to make. This book has been on my "want to read" list for years. After checking it out of the library multiple times, including on Hoopla, and never reading it, I decided I didn't want to read it. Then, I decided to give it one more try. You all, I almost missed a fabulous book because of some weird mood I had previously been in!!

My Review:
Christmas in Dixie immediately pulled me in. Lorana Hoopes is an amazing narrator and I could listen to her voice all day. Kaci Lane has written the perfect Christmas story, full of humor, heart, and angst. I lost track of how many times "Are you ok?" was said, and I will be hearing it in my sleep, but this story was hilarious. I want to read everything she has ever written!

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for Positively, Penelope by Pepper Basham hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
Title: Positively, Penelope Positively, Penelope is the second book in the Skymar series by Pepper Basham. I HIGHLY recommend you read the first book, Authentically, Izzy before reading this one. Otherwise, you will get spoilers, miss a few things, but mostly, miss out on a great first book of the series.
