Review of “Royally Married” by Jill Boyce

This is the third book in a series that needs to be read in order. There are several people in this book that could be viewed as adversaries to the main character, Claire Thompson. They bring intrigue to the plot. Another character that brings intrigue to the story but in the very best way is Claire’s granny. She is one of my favorite characters. She brings a whole lot of humor to the book and I love her personality. In this novel, Claire has so many mishaps that you really start feeling bad for her and wishing you could jump into book to help. I found this book was a fast read because it was so entertaining. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes contemporary romance.

Review of “Where the Road Bends” by Rachel Fordham

The blurb on the back of the book is just the beginning of this really endearing story. This novel has all three kinds of characters you would expect in a love story. It has the damsel, the knight in shining armor, and the villainous suitor that really makes you hope he does not win the girl. I feel as though she goes through what I would say are much harder times than most damsels in distress. During the book, I find myself hoping and praying that Quincy, the knight in shining armor, is forgiven by Norah, the damsel, for what he has done. This book really drew me in and had me captivated until the very end. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes to read.

Review of “Sunburst” by Susan May Warren

The novel starts out setting up the connection between the two main characters, Ranger Kingston and Noemi Sutton. Once the reader is told how the two met, a little bit of action unfolds. However, this book is definitely more romance and not as much suspenseful action which makes sense because it is in the contemporary romance category. Though I will say that the blurb on the back had me hoping for more scenes with intensity. You really have to pay attention when reading the book because right in the middle of some of the chapters it will go back and forth between current time and when the main characters met. There are some interesting surprises as well as a very unique marriage of convenience like situation. Also there is a secondary story that seemed somewhat out of place at first but then slowly made more sense. Overall, I really enjoyed this book though and would recommend it.

Review of “The View from Coral Cove” by Amy Clipston

I was drawn to this book for two reasons besides the blurb on the back. One the cover is absolutely beautiful and the other reason is that it is set in North Carolina. Now even if those two things do not draw you in then just read the blurb on the back and it will definitely have you wanting to read this book. This novel has all the elements one would want in a second chance romance. It has two people who have been previously burned by love and think they are done with it. But maybe they are not as done as they think. This book also has a really good side story that falls perfectly in line with the main burned out on love plot. I had a hard time not sitting and reading this all at once. I definitely recommend it.

Review of “Her Mountain Refuge” by Laurel Blount

The blurb for this book sounded so good that I just could not wait to read it and the best part was I definitely was not disappointed. This book was even better than I expected it to be. The mother-in-law of the main female character, Charlotte Tremaine, was really well written. She reminded me of the stereotypical rich snob to whom only cares about herself and the way things look to other people. She was so well written that I wanted to jump in the book and give her the what for myself. I really loved how the main male character, Logan Carter, stood up to her while being calm and collected. This book also has amazing secondary characters in it. My favorite secondary character would definitely have to be Ruby. She is so sweet and lovable. I find myself wanting to visit Cedar Ridge and personally meet everyone but I obviously know it is a fictional novel. I more than recommend that you read this book.
