This is the first book I have read by Kit Morgan.  It is a time travel novel set at Christmas in Clear Creek, Oregon.  I have not read many time travel novels but I do find them fun to read.  One thing I thought was so funny in a good way about this book was that one of the characters is named Kitty Morgan.  She is also an author in the book.  It was fun reading how the main female character, Lorelei Carson, adapted to the past when she was transported there by a couple she had just met.  I really enjoyed the family that she was left with in the past.  They were all so entertaining.  I would definitely recommend this book.

This is a brand new author for me and I was excited to read it because she is a North Carolina author. I also love coffee so that drew me into wanting to read this book as well. However, this is one of those books that make me wish they had a rating system like the movies because it had a little more sexual descriptions in the book than I would have liked. I usually only read Christian fiction because of that but I would give other authors more of a chance if I had an easy way to tell that they are closed door romances. Other than the spice in the book that was not appealing to me, the rest of the book was good and the spice to me added nothing to the plot.

I have read only one of her books before this one and it had several curse words but no explicit sexual material that I could remember. However, I do not remember which curse words it included. Even though I usually read Christian fiction or clean fiction, I decided to give this author one more try because this book had my favorite North Carolina attraction in it which is Biltmore Estate. This novel is a split time novel which is set during the time of the Vanderbilts and also present day. I was disappointed but not surprised that this book also had curse words in it. Because I could not remember if there was any sexual material in her previous book I read and any sexual innuendos, I was not sure what to expect of that in this one. I was hoping that there would not be any but there was some which though were more than I would have liked they at least were short. This book was from the point of view of three women and some a little disjointed at times even though two of the women were related. I personally do not want to read anymore books by this author due to the curse words and slight sexual material. I would have enjoyed it much better and passed it on to someone else if those things had not been included. I also do not think the story would have suffered without them; in fact, I feel the story would have been much better if they had been left out.

This is a new author for me. I originally picked up this book for three reasons. One I love the cover. Two was the fact that the main female character owned a bookshop. And the last reason was that it is set in North Carolina. I had my reservations because it is not Christian fiction and I was unsure if it would be a clean read or not. However, this book was definitely a clean read and it was also a really good story. It is a good story about how important it is to let things that you cannot change go so they do not hold you back in life. It also shows the power of second chances. I would definitely recommend this book.

This is in a series of books that take place in Mistletoe, Maine. I would definitely say this is a good beach read and not just because it has beach in the title. This author does such a good job with describing the people as well as what is going on that you will have no problem picturing everything. I can picture myself visiting the local coffeehouse, Coffee Bean, and then heading to the bookstore, Bookworm. Based on the description of Stella, I could see us being friends and sitting with a cup of coffee watching the ocean view at her little beach cottage. And though Luke is a fictional character, my heart goes out to him. His character is definitely very realistic. I just want to jump into the story and help him through his turmoil. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes to read.
