The Girl with Nowhere to Go by Louise Guy

 


An extremely emotional story, the kind that breaks your heart while it is also uplifting. It concerns the topics of death, suicide, and abandonment tempered by new friendships and bonds. A very worthwhile read.




Harriet in Waiting by Rachel Del Grosso

 


A gripping and emotional story of a wife blindsided by her husband and left to grapple with the emotions of herself and of her fifteen year old twin daughter and son. Her emotions are raw and true as she struggles to make sense of it all.



The Cowboy's Comeback by Nan Reinhardt

 


One of the sweetest books I have read in a while. The ruined relationship of Cassie and Bo takes center stage as, after five years apart, they come face to face. It is time for them to either clear the air and face their emotions or to run for cover and continue to hide. The choice is theirs alone.

A delightful story of a young woman finding her true self in Versailles, France. A cast of wonderful characters fills the pages along her nervous and insecure journey.

The past and present collide when a woman inherits an inn in the Cornish countryside from an unknown aunt. Strange events start happening, her teen son disappears for hours exploring the network of old caves beneath the inn, and love springs from an unexpected source.

How to be Fabulous by Carmen Reid

 


Fashion, fiascos, and family define this novel. They all weave together to tell of the months leading up to a high fashion and carefully curated charity event. It is organized by an ambitious woman who is also in the grips of family drama on a daily basis. A novel topic, fun at times and slow at others.
