I enjoyed this story. Cassie does not know what she is getting herself into when she decides to move in with the Keim's and help with their grandchildren. Cassie is a joy and a delight. She radiates energy and possesses a genuine love of her life. She is enthusiastic in all that she does and has many admirable qualities.

My Review:
I am not a huge fan of jumping on a bandwagon. But, I kept seeing this book, Growing Slow, floating around Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I found myself drawn to it, so I bought it. I am so thankful that I did. I have been reading it for the last few weeks as part of my devotional time and it has valuable and timely messages.

My Review:
Lauren Denton is an author that when I see her name I try to get her books. She is a distinguised writer, writing clean fiction novels. The One You're With is also well written, with great character development.
Happy Friday! I hope you are having a great day and looking forward to a relaxing weekend!
Welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books!! It’s time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line. This week I am sharing from Love's Dwelling by Kelly Irvin.
Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine.
This is my first week participating in Can't Wait Wednesday. Since I have about a million books that I am waiting on to read, I will choose one that is coming out soon...I am featuring Terrie Todd's upcoming release. I read and loved her book The Silver Suitcase!
Title: The Scarlet Pen
Series: True Colors (each stand alone)
Author: Jennifer Uhlarik
Publisher: Barbour Publishing
Genre: Historical Fiction, Romance, True Crime
My Review:
Not only did this book capture my attention from the first scene, but I also disliked Stephen Dee Richardson from that moment on! It made me wonder what Emma saw in him. Emma is sweet, caring, adores her siblings, and seems to be more in love with the idea of being in love, than actually in love with Stephen. She is also headstrong and impulsive, which gets her into trouble.
