I have read several books by this author. I am a big fan of books set in North Carolina and a lot of her books are set there including this one. This novel was so good. It really drew me in from the very beginning and I honestly cannot pick a favorite character because I loved them all. One of my favorite parts of the book was the whole shells with quotes and/or sayings in them. I just loved not only how people found them when they needed them most but some of the things written in them were so good. Another thing that I really enjoyed in the book was the parrot. The parts with the parrot made me laugh so hard. I would recommend that when reading this book, you have a box of tissues beside you just in case because there are some heartfelt moments that may make you tear up. The author did such an amazing job of bringing this novel to life. I felt as though I was in the story instead of just reading it. I fell in love with everything about this book and I am really looking forward to reading the next one in this series.
Review of “Winning Over the Baker” by Danielle Thorne
This is the first book I have read by this author. The cover alone drew me in enough to want to read it. I really enjoyed all the characters in this book and not just the primary ones. There were several parts of the book that really pulled at my heart strings. My heart ached for the daughter of the main male character because of all she had been through and the fact that she had a hard time realizing that things would be different now. I thought the book had some very good lessons that could be learned from it. I also felt it was very well written. I will definitely be adding this author to my list of go-to authors.
I received a complimentary copy from the author. The opinions in this review are my own.
Review of “Missing in Texas” by Virginia Vaughan
I am a big fan of books by this author. I also really like books that are about cold cases so I was definitely interested in reading this book. I found it very interesting that the main female character was friends with the victim of the crime while the main male character is related to the prime suspect. It made for an interesting dynamic between the two while they were trying to solve the case. I really enjoyed the mystery behind also trying to solve the crime. This novel was well written and definitely one that I would recommend.
