Thoughts of a Reader

This is the fifth book I have read by this author. It is the second book in the Stone Creek Ranch series. You do not have to read the first book in the series to read and enjoy this one. The main characters are Logan Russell and Isabelle Sinclair. They have an important person to them in common, Lisa Russell. She is the twin sister of Logan and the best friend of Isabelle. This novel was really well written. It has all of the elements of a good suspense who done it plot. It will keep you guessing from the very beginning to the very end and leaving you wanting more. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.

I have read several books by this author and she is one of my go-to suspense authors. This novel is the third book in her Hidden Bay series. You do not have to have read the other two in order to enjoy this one. While it takes place in the same town as the other two and has some of the same characters, it can be read as a standalone. This story not only has the suspense and romance but it has a lot of mystery to it. I really enjoyed the historical maritime element to it especially because it included folklore that dealt with ghost ships. I was captivated from the beginning to the end. I had a hard time putting the book down. It is a must read in my book.

I have read several books by this author and she is a go-to author for me. In the beginning of this book, I really felt bad for Daniel because he was not aware of the reasons behind why Emily never came back from Washington. I also found myself really upset with Emily for not trying to work with Daniel in regard to the twins. However, I was rooting for them to come back together the whole time. This book drew me in so well I felt that I was right in the middle of it all. I found myself wanting to cry for Ava and Amelia especially when they were hoping that their parents were at the door because they did not understand they were not coming back. You will definitely need a box of tissues. Ava and Amelia made this book one of my favorites. Though they were going through a hard time, they had some really adorable moments and were both so good at bringing the wisdom to the adults as a lot of children can be. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

This is the second book I have read this author. The first one I read by her was a love inspired suspense whereas this one is a romance. One of my favorite things in this novel are the quotes that Hannah puts on the church bulletin board that the author includes in the story. They are really good pieces of advice that ring true even for me. Some of my favorite parts of the book are the ones with Pastor Rob and the sons of his church secretary. You can tell that he gets as much out of the interactions as they do. Another part of the book that I loved involved the birthday of the pastor but I am not going to spoil it by mentioning more in my review. This novel will grab your attention from the beginning and will leave you wanting more.

This is one of my favorite authors. This is the third book in the Legacy Ranch series. There are many reasons I loved this book so much. One reason is it includes one of my favorite characters, Aunt Dee. Another reason is you get updates on the main characters from the previous two books in the series. There are several really good lessons to be learned from the book. One of those lessons is how your words can affect someone. Along with that lesson, another one is how far lies can spread especially when social media is used. This novel has the best characters in it. The secondary characters are so good that I forgot it even had primary characters. I recommend this book to everyone but you may need a box of tissues for a good cry because several parts will hit you in the heart.
