Restoring Fairhaven by Carolyn Miller

You have to share about a romance that sweeps you away, brings you joy, and leaves you with hope for the future. Restoring Fairhaven by Carolyn Miller is one of those stories. The main character, Samantha Green, has just taken over her father’s gardening business while he is recovering from heart issues. Our hero, Max Fairhaven is a writer who is walking through a dark time and has almost given up on ever being happy again. Restoring Fairhaven is their restoration story.

This is the sixth book in the Independent Island Series and takes place on Merriweather Island. Carolyn Miller does a wonderful job painting a picture of the setting on beautiful Merriweather Island. This book spoke to me spiritually with Ms. Miller’s gardening analogies.

With the wonderful scenery, delightful characters and great romance there is much to treasure in Restoring Fairhaven and I highly recommend it. (I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review)

To Steal A Heart by Jen Turano



To Steal a Heart by Jen Turano opens as our heroine, Gabriella Goodhue, is attending an exclusive society costume ball dressed as a man.  She is attempting to break into the home’s safe when she gets “caught” by her best friend from childhood, Nicholas Quinn who she has not seen in many years.  From there the story only gets better as Gabriella and Nicholas navigate adventure, intrigue, new feelings, and their beliefs on the society of the day.  


I love Jen Turano’s writing and I was not disappointed while reading To Steal A Heart.  This is the first book in her Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency series that follows the charming ladies who live at the Bleecker Street boarding house.  The boarders are delightful and I fell in love with each of their unique personalities.  Ms. Turano has a way of weaving humor into her stories while discussing weightier issues such as the problems of the day, societal norms, and issues of faith.  Her stories are interesting and I find them so enjoyable.  


I highly recommend To Steal A Heart by Jen Turano.  It is a fun loving adventure that will engage you to the end and keep you laughing.  


I was given this book by the publisher and not required to write a positive review.

“Tucker was in no hurry.  He’d waited a very long time for this kiss. “

His Holiday Prayer features Veterinarians Jenna Harper and Tucker Rainbolt who run Rebel’s Veterinary Clinic and animal shelter. Tucker is affectionately called Dr. Blue Eyes among the women in Rebel, and Jenna continues to attract more attention from the male residents of Rebel each day.
