Review: Architecture and Artistry - Book #11 Green Valley Library Series - Nora Everly -October 2022 Back in 2019, Smartypants Romance first released their books all set in the "PennyVerse" aka The World of Penny Reid's series and I have been hooked on their books ever since. Every time I read one and I am transported back to Green Valley, Tennessee - my heart is warmed. I do enjoy her other ones based on the Knitting series but my main love lies with her books set around the small town where the Winston Brothers were set. Readers will remember that Green Valley Library started with the Matriach of the Winston Family working there and now has evolved into a series of eleven titles. Architecture and Artistry will have us meeting Willa's younger sister Sadie Hill. Sadie after being left deserted and broken by her soon-to-be ex-husband when they can find him, has moved back to Green Valley with her twin boys Flynn and Rider - named after the hero in Tangled and living wi...

Review: Steal My Magnolia - Book #3 Love at First Sight Series - Karla Sorensen - February 2021 One of my favorite worlds is the Smartypants Romance books which are based on the stories by Penny Reid. The Love at First Sight series is set in Green Valley which is the main home base for Penny Reid's series The Winston Brothers. The Buchanan twins Grace and Grady have moved to Green Valley and spend time with their dad. As the pair grew up they were forever told of the Green Valley Buchanan curse where in this town you would meet the "one", your soulmate. For Grace it was Tucker and since she was a female, it was Hate at first sight - the thing too was that Tucker already had a girlfriend whom he ended up dumping for Grace. Book #3 is Grady's story and like his sister, he thought that this story was just that but he is about to discover that the curse is very very real. Grady has started up a hiking/ outdoors business and is contacted by a female named Lia offering h...

Review: Love In Deed - Book #6 Green Valley Library Series - L.B Dunbar - May 2020 Hopping back into the Smartypants Romance world and the Green Valley Library series with Book #6 Love in Deed, we meet Naomi Winter's older sister Beverley Townsen. Those who read Naomi's book will remember that we saw a snippet of Beverley where she had been starting to fall in love and become herself again after all these years.
