The Atlas of Untold Stories by Sara Brunsvold.

I have absolutely loved reading The Atlas of Untold Stories by Sara Brunsvold.I was very invested in this character driven story and read into the night to finish. The story weaves together family relationships, classic literature, and an amazing road trip. I appreciated the how the story beautifully explored female family relationships and was so relatable. I highly recommend The Atlas of Untold Stories by Sara Brunsvold.

 Blurb: A literary journey beckons them . . . and may profoundly rewrite their stories.

Chloe Vance, dreamer of the family, needs to tell her pragmatic mom, Edie, that she has accepted a low-paying art instructor role at a Christian school in Prague. Her older sister, Lauren--the "responsible one"--is doing all she can to hide the fact she's been fired for a foolish mistake and is desperately seeking her next career move. Meanwhile, Edie, estranged from her own sister following their mother's recent death, is frankly in no mood for anything else to change.

The one thing they can all agree on? Life in books sure is easier to navigate than life in the real world. As the three women embark on a nine-day road trip to visit significant literary sites throughout America's heartland, they hope to find inspiration through the works and lives of literary greats.

Sara Brunsvold (pronounced Bruns- as in RUN, -vold as is in OLD) is the Christy Award-winning author of The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip and The Divine Proverb of Streusel. She creates stories that boldly engage contemporary issues through the lens of hope and unshakable faith. Her passion is to connect with readers first through books, then through meaningful conversation. She lives with her family in Kansas.

Sometimes You Stay by Liz Johnson

Sometimes You Stay by Liz Johnson is a sweet romance that weaves in faith, love and wonderful characters to make an amazing story. Finn has a farm where he raises Newfoundland dogs, and Cretia is a traveling influencer who travels around the world.

Finn and Cretia are two people you will want to get to know, and the contrast of their lives will make you smile. I loved watching them grow and change with the help of each other, their faith, and the sweet community surrounding them. I was so engaged in the story, the character’s lives, and loved the magical setting of Prince Edward Island.

I enjoyed reading Sometimes You Stay by Liz Johnson and highly recommend. This is the perfect read for summer days. 

I was given a copy by the publisher and not required to write a positive review

Scott and Bothered by Alex Kiley

Scot and Bothered by Alexandra Kiley is a second chance romance with all the feels. Brook and Jack knew each other during their university days. Until it all blew up and they parted and have not seen each other in many years.

There is something about a second chance romance that always resonates with me. This dual POV and dual time-line story comes together seamlessly and draws you in. I enjoyed watching Jack and Brook figure out who they were, to love themselves, and realize the gift they had in each other. It was fantastic to visit Scotland through the pictures the author so eloquently painted and get to walk and adventure on beautiful trails. There are few thing I love better than highland coos.

Scot and Bothered by Alexandra Kiley is a second chance romance that will bring you hope. I recommend.

I received advance copies of the eBook from Harlequin Trade Publishing, and HTP Hive. All review opinions are my own.

CW  Open door, but skippable; 

Alexandra Kiley writes big-hearted romances full of banter, found-family, and deep love. When she’s not writing, you can find her drinking tea, playing with her kids, or gazing adoringly at the mountains of Colorado.  

Her novels are inspired by her semester in Scotland where she fell in love with not only the lush and magical land, but also the people who invited her into their homes and made her feel like family.​
