A Time to Heal - Quilts of Lancaster County Series #2

Review: A Time To Heal - Quilts of Lancaster County Series #2 - Barbara Cameron- March 2011

When I was going through Netgalley and saw this book the other day , I thought that it looked like a good read and left it at that with not too much thought -just the fact that I was going to add it to my read and review pile . Then at work today , I saw a book come through called A Time to Love and it had a similar cover and as I was about to read this I clicked that the book I have put aside on my desk to read when I get a chance is actually Book #1 in this particular series. It's funny how things work out.  So this is to be one series which I will read back to front , though gathering from after finishing this book , I have a fair idea what book #1 could be about.
In Book#2 A Time to Heal , we meet outsider and war veteran Chris Matlock , he was injured in Afghanistan when he met Jenny - a reporter in the local hospital there , they became good friends. Now home from Aghanistan, Chris is searching for something to fill the gap in his heart and mend the heartbreak and nightmares from being in the Army. He decides to drop in and visit Jenny who is now married to an Amisher Matthew. Chris accepts Matthew's offer to stay on his farm and help work , from the start we can tell that this is to be Chris and Matthew's sister Hannah's tale of love , as many of these books follow the same formula. From the start we see than Chris brings out a side in Hannah that is rare for her and we start to see the old wives tale of opposites attracting becoming a reality. However can Hannah accept an Englischer to be her one true lover and is Chris ready to open his heart up to love and share his deepest desires though it scares him to share anything about his life ?
Is Lancaster County , the Amish Paradise that Chris has been needing to Heal his wounds and is Hannah is band-aid ?
Find out in this amazing book , that is easy-to-read and keeps the readers entertained. It is one of the best Amish set books I have read in a long time. Barbara Cameron's writing is more along the lines of Shelley Shepard Gray and Janette Oke rather than Beverley Lewis and Suzanne Woods Fisher.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
