The Usual Family Mayhem by Helen Kay Dimon

 


Funny. Quirky. Family closeness with problems. Misunderstandings. Two very sharp older women and a semi-clueless granddaughter. Pull them all together and there is a wonderful story plus a little mystery and a long awaited love. Delightful.

The Dogwood Days of Summer by Laurie Beach

 


Laurie Beach writes lovely, heartwarming stories with touch of whimsy and common sense sayings. The Dogwood Days of Summer is a more than enjoyable novel. It has troubles, dilemmas, heartache, and second chances. 



Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts

 


This is a novel that will put you on the edge of your seat and keep you there. The horror of an unbelievably horrifying murder intent on carrying out a sacred mission is blood curdling. The story of the crimes will make you have trouble sleeping if not for the love story that arises for Sargent Sloan Cooper and her neighbor Nash Littlefield. It provides a break from the crime story. 

Super story from all angles.



All the Stars Align by Gretchen Schreiber

 


Sweet book about a teen girl driven by a family tradition that love is determined by the Blessing: you will meet the one for you and will know they are the one.

It is a cute premise but I found myself bored by the repetition and slow speed.
