Trust, once broken, is very hard if not impossible to rebuild. So it is for Aria when Ryan re-enters the picture. He suddenly left her with no explanation before she found out she was pregnant. She uproots her life in Denver and she with her two month old daughter move to Marietta to find Ryan and inform him of his daughter. He is shocked and all she wants is for him to know her. 

In this endearing story, Ryan must work hard to regain Aria’s trust if a happily ever after  will happen.

The Seaside Book Club by Helen Rolfe

 

Three women connected by a Zoom book club are all at crossroads. Faye, who runs the book club, is seeking respite from the scandal her twin sister caused.

Beneath the Orange Blossom by Emma Cowell

 

A touching second chance at love happens over thirty-six years later when it all fell apart. The story relates several joys and events during a vacation two best friends take to recapture their teenage vacation to Greece. One twirled about with wild abandon, the other fell in love.

The May House by Jillian Cantor

 

The lives of three sisters is explored over a forty year period. Once a year in May the sisters reunite in Coronado at their grandmother’s house. The joyous times and critical, complex times unfold, bringing them together or tearing them apart. Chapters rotate between the past and current. A complex family drama.

The Magical Library by Aimee O'Brien

 

A sweet romance. Whitney and Derrick seem so mismatched and with very different ideas about Edwin Hazard, the town of Hazard’s hero. Throw in bids for affordable housing (ne bid belongs to Derrick), the town’s illustrious underground tunnels, and slow changes of the heart and you have a very engaging and magical story.

Destination Funeral by Paige Harbison

 

I adore books by Paige Harribison. They are filled with complex characters and plots. In this book, four former friends are called together for the funeral of a mother who wants them to reconcile and reignite their lost friendships. The story is fraught with serious misunderstandings, deep underlying anger, and a need to release the bitterness at long last. 

Engrossing story that will capture you until the very end.
