Cover L♡ver Book Review

Underestimating Miss Cecilia  holds a good premise, and even though the characters didn’t capture me in the beginning, they grew on me. Especially Edward. He is flawed, yet redeemable, and his actions felt authentic. Cecilia’s younger sister, Verity, also adds a spark to the story. I enjoyed the struggles and the spiritual aspects. My fondness of Regency stories has grown over the past few years, but this one didn’t pull me in as much as I’d hoped. I found the wording and sentence structure a bit difficult to read at times. I suppose it felt a bit flowery to me, which distracted me (numerous times) from the plot. I’m wondering if I’d be more captivated with an audiobook version. This is a good story, but not a Regency favorite. I was entertained, but not wowed. I’ll certainly read the next book in the series (hopefully Verity’s story) and hope I’ll be more versed in the verbiage by then so I can fully sink into the reading. Quotes from the book: It was, perhaps, th

If you missed any of the stops you'll find snippets, as well as the link to each full post, below: Launch - Author Interview What do you hope readers take with them after they’ve read it? I hope that readers will find something of themselves, something relatable within each character that will offer insight into their own relationships and choices and/or the possibility to think about their relationships differently. So many people find themselves in difficult relationships, holding on when it’s painful, staying when they want to go, being pulled toward the wrong people, not loving those who love them. The answers to these questions are complicated and not the same for everyone. That’s why I chose a fictional format as opposed to non-fiction. Instead of telling readers what they should do or advising, I wanted to give them the op

If you missed any of the stops you'll find snippets, as well as the link to each full post, below: Launch - Note from the Author This story was a joy and a challenge to write. It’s a big emotional mix of wildlife and ranching and what happens when the two intersect. It’s also a story of forgiveness and healing and, of course, love, in all its forms. I hope you enjoy the excerpts and reviews, and the chance to meet the characters, human and otherwise, who live in the Northern California ranching town of Shelter Creek. . . Thoughts of a Blonde - Excerpt Except lately the mountain lions in this area had been attacking livestock on local ranches. And people definitely noticed that.

The blade of a shovel, cutting through frosted grass. That’s what she first remembered most from the spring of 1938. In the year that followed, on the darkest of nights, she could almost hear the whisper of digging again.  ~First lines I really like the opening of this story, and the smooth audio narrator’s voice adds much. Sometimes, an audiobook narrator speaks so slowly that I wish to speed them up, but not in this story—her speech tempo matches the pacing. The cover art is interesting but doesn’t grab my attention as much as some of the author’s other stunning covers (e.g.  Catching the Wind .) I love time-slip novels, allowing me to follow two different time periods and stories that are entwined together and give a satisfying end. Though I enjoyed both time periods (WWII and Contemporary) the war-time era intrigued me more. I love when a story causes me to experience a time and place so clearly. No one else could steal her heart because it had already been stolen.

I believe I’ve read all of the  Daughters of the Mayflower  series (so far) and this one is one of my favorites. I love when a story teaches me something new, and prior to reading  The Express Bride , I knew very little about the Pony Express. And how fascinating! I’d never really thought about how much work went into the Express or the dangers the horse-mounted riders were subjected to. And though I’ve learned that this mail delivery service was highly unprofitable, it certainly was innovative. Another thing I enjoyed about this story was the slow-building romance. It is off-putting to me when two characters fall for each other too quickly, feeling a little grandiose and unauthentic. Although Jacqueline (Jack) and Elijah’s attraction happens quickly, their friendship grows into something more at a nice stride, and has me rooting for them the entire way. This story is multifaceted. It’s a mystery, suspense, and historical romance wrapped into one. The pacing works. I wasn’
