A Summer To Remember - Review

Review by KT Sullivan
Nina Elliot decides to make a clean break from her horrible boss and mean boyfriend. She quits both. She is almost run over by a car driven by an old friend and it changes her life. Nina babysat the Milton boys, Billy, Alex, and Dominic. Dominic is driving the car and recognizes her. He mentions seeing her to his mother, Olivia. She and Dudley are planning their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary party. Olivia wants to invite Nina and bumps into her at the grocery store. Nina remembers the Miltons’ house and mill. When she arrives, Olivia offers her a job as Dudley’s secretary. He’s writing an historical romance. Olivia offers to help around the house and becomes the dog walker. On a path, she meets a guy with a dog. Justin is gorgeous and leaves after helping find Ziggy the dog. She also signs up to help Dominic with his portrait painting business. The Milton boys are drawn to Nina. First, Dominic and Alex battle for her attention. Then Justin reveals he’s Billy. Which one will she pick?

Olivia Milton is my favorite character. She has a Mrs. Bennett, from Pride and Prejudice vibe to her. She wants to marry off her sons and be sure they’ve made good matches. She’s delighted to see Nina again and wants her to choose one of her sons. Nina is happy to oblige.

This is a very upbeat story. No broken hearts or bruised feelings. Everyone gets a happily ever after.

Sweet Salt Air - Review

Review by Darcie Czajkowski
Charlotte Evans hasn't seen best friend Nicole Carlysle in a decade. That was her doing. After committing an unspeakable act of betrayal against Nicole, Charlotte has kept her distance, the guilt too much for her to sustain a close friendship.

Nicole is in the dark. Sure, Charlotte is a wildly successful travel writer and is constantly flitting around the world, bouncing from assignment to assignment, but can't she at least say in touch on a basic level?

But when Nicole's organic and farm-to-table food blog turns into a cookbook deal, Nicole knows that the success of her book necessitates Charlotte's skill for interviewing and knack for convincing writing. Knowing that she owes Nicole, Charlotte agrees, and returns to Quinnipeague, an island off the coast of Maine where the girls spent summers together.

Only a summer of friendship-rekindling and sampling and transcribing local recipes are overshadowed by Charlotte's intrigue with Leo, a man whose mother grew and sourced the best of the island's herbs with her rumored magical touch, and Nicole's worry over a secret that her husband Julian has been forcing her to keep for four years.

In a sometimes slow unfurling of events, Charlotte and Nicole's lives become even more entwined when Nicole breaks down and reveals her secret. And as it turns out, the very thing that could be the dreamed-for cure of her husband's ailment is the very thing that Charlotte sacrificed her friendship with Nicole to keep hidden.

With the secrets revealed, will Nicole and Charlotte's friendship be able to withstand the blow? And how will Julian fare in the wake of the revelation? Will Charlotte connect in forever-type way with Leo, or will she be left once again broken-hearted and eager for her next assignment, far away from Quinnipeague?

This is the first novel I've read by Barbara Delinsky, so I didn't know what to expect. While the title made me think of a lighter, beach-read type of book, I found this story to be more literary fiction than mainstream women's. Initially, for the first third of the book, I found the storyline to be a bit slow-moving, with too-detailed descriptions of the types of plants and flowers on the island and the different manners in which the ocean ebbed and flowed. Still, I was impressed by how vividly Barbara brought the island to life in these details. She clearly had a very real picture of how the island was and executed that detail flawlessly. It was just a little much for me, as someone who appreciates more dialogue to keep the story moving at a quicker pace.

That being said, I found the story to be very captivating after surpassing that initial section of the book. I was drawn into the history of the friendship between Nicole and Charlotte, and wanted them to return to a place where they were once again best friends. At the same time, Charlotte's betrayal was incredibly damning and I do not know if the book's resolution was realistic. Nicole seemed to be forgiving, to the point of being a push-over and, even though I wanted to believe that I could be as forgiving, I feel that such a betrayal might preclude the return to a tight-knit friendship.

What mostly drew me into the story was Charlotte's relationship with Leo. I desperately wanted them to find a way to make their burgeoning relationship work, even though the odds were against them. I found Leo's tough exterior but lovable interior to suit Charlotte's worldly personality and was deeply engrossed in the development of their relationship and as individual characters over the course of the story.

I would definitely recommend this book, especially for readers who adore a happily-ever-after. While I believe that the conclusions to the storylines were a bit too perfect as a whole, I felt that Barbara's build-up to the resolutions made them believable if taken individually. I also appreciated and much respected Barbara's presumably vast and in-depth research on Multiple Sclerosis. She executed that storyline with thoughtful insight about the disease and how family members of those inflicted with the disease would handle the situation. While some might find Nicole's reaction and manner of dealing with the news insensitive, very few people can truly relate to the toll it takes on the wife and other family members when a loved one is stricken with a life-changing disorder. I believe that Barbara captured the moods and motivations of both Julian and Nicole's characters in this respect.

So add this book to your summer reading list and spend a little time on the charming island oasis of Quinnipeague.

Say Never - Review & Giveaway

 Review by Marlene Engel

Some people are just born to be parents.  And others … not so much!  For Meg Monroe, she’s used to battling wits with her radio co-host, not with children.  So it’s no surprise that she loves living in New York City’s Upper West side, on the complete opposite end of the country from her family.  You can imagine her shock when she receives a call from her brother asking for help in caring for his kids while his wife recovers from an accident.  Reluctantly, she agrees.  After all, how hard can it be watching after little humans?

Things go from bad to worse as Meg embarks on her journey, starting with the airline losing her luggage.  But that’s the least of her worries.  As she comes face to face with her niece who makes no qualms of expressing her dislike for Meg, to almost burning down her brother’s house on the first day she arrives, Meg quickly realizes that this is going to be harder than she anticipated.

I loved this book!  It went from funny to funnier and had me laughing out loud at the turn of each page!  From all of Meg’s mishaps, including losing her nephew at Bloomingdale’s, your stomach will hurt from laughing so much by the time you finish this book.  I can’t say enough good things about this book.  But, don’t take my word for it.  Grab a copy and find out for yourself!

Hilltop Sunset - Guest Review & Giveaway


NEW RELEASE.....
A mystery set in wine country pitting financial exec Brynn Bancroft against a determined stalker, a troubled love interest, and career clashes.

Brynn Bancroft learns that a former employee who beat her nearly to death has returned to stalk her and her friend, Jillian Hillcrest, also a former victim.

Recently divorced, Brynn turns to a new love interest only to encounter additional unwelcome issues. Meanwhile, short-timer Brynn, who has resigned from her Silicon Valley company, becomes bored fulfilling her remaining responsibilities there. She begins to prefer supporting the launch of her ex-husband’s new hilltop winery while waiting to move to her next position. Between her stalker and her new love interest, Brynn faces a series of life-changing events.

Book available from....
Amazon.co.uk   Amazon.com   Barnes & Noble

About Brynn Bancroft
Brynn Bancroft evolved from the Jillian Hillcrest mysteries where she served as Jillian’s manager while Chief Financial Officer of Harmonia Therapeutics in Silicon Valley. A shapely blonde with a MENSA IQ, she had an affair with the CEO of the company. Unfortunately for Brynn, the CEO’s wife figured out that the two were involved and asked Brynn to leave the company, which she agreed to do. In the meantime, her husband, Liam—not unfamiliar with extramarital affairs himself but also understanding that Brynn grew up in an abusive household- grew tired of waiting for Brynn to commit to their relationship and asked for a divorce. At the same time, he solicited her assistance in developing his new winery in Sonoma County, Calif. Much like Jillian--who does appear in the Brynn Bancroft mysteries--Brynn, too, attracts mystery and murders as she grows to enjoy life at her ex-husband’s Hilltop Sunset Winery.

Guest Book Review by Sahndra Fon Duffe

I am particularly fond of books that are in a series and Hilltop Sunset grabs the reader's interest from the get go. You have this powerful lead Brynn, who makes me fall in love each time I read about his character. The author succeeded in convincing me, each time. I don't want to give away too much plot info, for fear of spoiling it, but I’ll tell you, it is well written, completely engaging, and boy! Does this novel have characters to die for! It reminded me of CSI in novel version, with a great story.


About the Author
Joyce Strand, much like her fictional character Jillian Hillcrest, served as head of corporate communications at several biotech and high-tech companies in Silicon Valley for more than 25 years. Unlike Jillian, however, she did not encounter murder in her career. She focused on writing articles and press releases and delivering presentations to publicize her companies.

Joyce has been a mystery fan since she read her first Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy stories as a teen-ager. She has always enjoyed the challenge of following clues to solve a mystery before it is revealed. Therefore Joyce relished the transition from writing press releases to writing fiction.

Joyce received her Ph.D. from The George Washington University, Washington, D.C. and her B.A. from Dickinson College, Carlisle, PA.   She lives with her two cats in Southern California near San Diego.

Flirting With Love - Review & Giveaway


Flirting With Love
The Bradens # 10
By: Melissa Foster
Releasing December 15th, 2014


Blurb
FLIRTING WITH LOVE is the newest addition to the BRADEN series by New York Times & USA Today bestselling and award-winning author Melissa Foster. This contemporary romance series features alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They’re flawed, funny, passionate, and very relatable to readers who enjoy new adult romance, contemporary romance, and women’s fiction.

IN FLIRTING WITH LOVE…

Elisabeth Nash has spent years dreaming of returning to the small town of Trusty, Colorado, where she spent summers with her favorite aunt. When she inherits her aunt’s farmette, she closes her Los Angeles pet bakery and pampering business, sure that life in Trusty will be as peaceful and as welcoming as she remembers. But being an outsider in the close-knit town proves to be very different from the happy summers she remembers from her childhood—and falling for Trusty’s hot, wealthy, and sinfully irresistible veterinarian, Ross Braden, sends the rumor mill into a frenzy.

Ross Braden learned long ago that gossip spreads faster than weeds in his small hometown, and Ross loves nothing more than his privacy.  For that reason, he doesn’t date women who live in Trusty. But that was before blond, beautiful, and refreshingly honest Elisabeth Nash flew into his vet clinic seeking help for her panicked piglet and turned his comfortable life—and his heart—inside out.

Despite rumors about Elisabeth’s motives toward her aunt’s property, passion brews between Elisabeth and Ross. Every steamy kiss and every sensual touch brings the pair closer together, and when Ross helps Elisabeth try to fit into the town he adores, it makes their bond even stronger. But even Elisabeth’s efforts toward reaching the community, and the love she and Ross so desperately believe in, might not be enough for the protective small town to offer them a future.

Review by Marlene Engel

As a child, some of Elisabeth’s best memories were spent on her aunt’s farm in Trusty.  Although she grew up in the fast paced, hustle and bustle life of LA, she knew that her heart was never far from Trusty. 

When Elisabeth’s aunt passes and leaves the farm to her, she doesn’t hesitate to close up her pet pampering business in California and move.  What she didn’t expect was the cold welcome she received from just about everyone in Trusty.  What happened to the small town closeness that she remembered as a child?  But the locals feared that she was just there to sell her aunt’s farm and move back to LA.

It soon becomes apparent to Elisabeth that life on a farm was more work that she realized.  When one of her piglets acts up, she rushes to the local veterinarian’s office for assistance.  She was greeted by tall, handsome and irresistibly sexy, resident doctor Ross Braden.  He not only took care of the problem at hand, he also warmed Elisabeth’s heart and reaffirmed all of the reasons why she loved Trusty. 

Ross and Elisabeth soon become inseparable, which only sparked the Trusty rumor mill.  But Ross knew that there was something special about her.  Special enough that he broke his own rule of not dating women from his town.  But when someone from Elisabeth’s past shows up in Trusty, it threatens to break apart the bond that Ross and Elisabeth have formed, and it doesn’t take long before rumors of Elisabeth’s intentions with the farm resurface. 

There’s just something about small towns that draw you in.  From the close-knit bonds to the local businesses, you just can’t go wrong!  That is, as long as you’re not an “outsider” trying to fit in.  I felt for Elisabeth who, although she had good intentions, had a hard time getting the locals to warm up to her.  If you like small town charm and tall, dark and dreamy men then this is the book for you!

Hello From The Gillespies - Review & Giveaway


Review by K.T Sullivan

After thirty three years of Christmas letter writing, Angela Gillespie is stumped. She sits at her computer and thinks of her family in disarray. Instead of the usual cheery note, she pours out her heart about her family and life in general. Their missteps, secrets, and embarrassments fill the page. No one is spared, even herself. She steps back and imagines her life if she never left London for Australia and married her boyfriend, Will and had the perfect daughter, Lexie. When she finishes, there is a family emergency and she rushes her son to the hospital. Later in the day, her husband notices her letter is sitting on the computer waiting for her return. He decides to do Angela a favor and hits send. The letter is on its way to over one hundred inboxes. By the time Angela realizes the mistake, the responses are piling up. All are positive congratulating her on her honesty and humor. Her family, on the other hand, is mortified. How could she? As the weeks go on, each one acknowledges she’s right and starts making moves to change. Angela suffers from headaches and goes to a specialist for help. She’s in a serious car accident and forgets reality. Her mind settles in her fantasy world with Will and Lexie at her side. Her family is at their wit’s end until she recovers. What will they do if she doesn’t come back to them?

This story is funny and sad. The letter reveals so much of what Angela wants to say to her husband and children, but doesn’t want to hurt their feelings. Moms should only heap praise and encouragement on their families, not point out the flaws. It’s a very realistic and human story. Angela is torn between duty and truth. After years of reading Christmas letters, I’d love to receive one like Angela’s because it’s easy to relate to her worries and concerns.
