I give Stirred With Love Five Cups of Coffee.

Oh, Stirred With Love by Marcie Steele has so much heart. It is a tale of love, friendship and heartbreak. It had me laughing one minute and crying my eyes out the next.

This is the story of what the three phases of life.

Lily the owner of the coffee shop is a sixty year old widow who like the other two girls is ready for a new phase in her life. She is the mother figure who has known love but lost it due to death.

Kate is the older sister figure. She has lost love due to divorce and isn't sure how to carry on. But, when she sees the add in the paper she is intrigued and decides to see what might be.

Together these three women hope to put themselves back together and something even more wonderful happens.

On Twitter a couple of days ago I had a poll. What should I read next?

What should I read next? To Catch a Rake by @OrrSally Sutherland's Secret by @SharonCullen or Stirred with Love by @Marcie_Steele

I got back four completely different answers.

So, I decided to read them in order of response of those listed. And I will look into the fourth book that wasn't listed.

That means I will be reading 

1. Stirred With Love by Marcie Steele
2. To Catch a Rake by Sally Orr
3. Sutherland's Secret by Sharon Cullen

OMG!! I have now received my first Auto-approval on Netgalley!!

Thank You Gelineau and King!!!!

I've loaned out my copy of Charlotte's Story to my mother. But, as soon as I get it back I'm going to have to start reading it...

What a wonderful series this is going to be.

Twelve Days by Teresa Hill is the introductory book into The McRaes series.

In this story we concentrate on Sam and Rachel. A couple whom it seems life just keeps knocking down and aren't sure that they can get back up.

But, when Rachel's Aunt Miriam has no other option but to bring three siblings to their doorstep, they have to decide whether or not they can try this one more time.

What I wouldn't give to be part of a family like this where, yes everyone is into one another's business, they are also undeniably there for one another.

Trust me, give this book a try and you too will be hooked.

I Kissed a Rogue by Shana Galen is a wonderful Historical Romance.

Once again Shana Galen has given us a superb novel. The chemistry between Lila and Brook is irresistible. My inability to put this book down was undeniable..

When the Duke's daughter Lila is kidnapped, her father turns to the man who had once proposed to her to locate his daughter. 

What follows is a series of both fortunate as well as unfortunate events.

Find out what happens when the two find themselves entangled in one another's lives.

I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I DO NOT enjoying giving unfavorable reviews. But, to be fair to those books that I love I have to sometimes to the unwanted.

Tales From the Graveyard, while well written, was not a collection that I could enjoy.

I'd tried to give it a chance multiple times, but I just couldn't find myself wrapped up in the story line I am sorry to say.

I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I am so hooked on the An Echo of an Ascended novella series.

Best Left in the Shadows, just like the other three I've read is totally addictive.

I haven't quite figured out how all of the books piece together. But, I do enjoy the way that each of the four pieces have a completely different air about them.

I received this copy of Best Left in the Shadows by Mark Gelineau and Joe King from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Rend the Dark by Mark Gelineau and Joe King is the third novella in the An Echo of the Ascended series that I have read. Each of these novellas can either be read as part of the whole or as a stand alone read. And has a completely different feel from the other two. But just as enthralling. I received this copy of Rend the Dark by Mark Gelineau and Joe King from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

A Reaper of Stone is part of a series of Novellas that form the first book of An Echo of the Ascended.

This is the second of the novellas that I have read and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. In this novella we follow Elinor, one of the King's Reapers, is a remarkably strong female character.

And while part of the same series as Faith and Moonlight, A Reaper of Stone has a completely different feel to it.

If you are an author or a publisher and would be in an honest review, I will be honored to check out your book.

In addition to posting my reviews here on my blog I also post reviews to Amazon.com. BarnesandNoble.com, Kobo.com, Goodreads (which auto-posts to my facebook account:, and twitter.

Many of the publishers on Netgalley require a certain criteria before they will allow a reviewer to read their published work, Many of them are telling me that just posting to shopping and review sites is no longer enough to qualify. They now require a blog with a following.

So, if you are enjoying my reviews, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE follow my blog!!!!

Thank you

Debbie

The novella Faith and Moonlight is an introduction to the series of novellas by the same name. This series will take you into a world completely different than any other I've read. The writing is intriguing bringing up visions of what it must of been like for Roan and Kay as they too enter this new subculture for the first time. I received this copy of Faith and Moonlight by Mark Gelineau and Joe King from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Snowflakes on Silver Cove has everything you are looking for in a Christmas romance. It has two love stories, a purple cat and a mannequin.

This tale checked all kinds of boxes. I laughed, cried and pondered the what ifs.

Who can resist the latest Lisa Jackson novel? Definitely not me. Somehow Lisa Jackson leaves you guessing till the last minute as to who the killer is. Cassie Kramer is not only the mentally unstable sister, but also the leading suspect when her younger, more successful and sexier sister goes missing. The suspicion only rises when other people who were involved in the movie Cassie and Allie had just wrapped up are murdered.

Well, I guess it's time. I have to try and find some work to help pay some of the bills. It's just getting tougher and tougher for the business to keep all three of us employed.

So, Bill is a 911 operator and I just applied at Books A Million here in Griffin.

Now that would be a dream job.

It isn't often that you receive an email from a author or her staff asking you if you'd like to be able to read their work before it is even out on Netgalley.

So, when Heatherly Bell wrote and asked if I'd like to read her next book Unforgettable You, I of course had to say yes!!!

In Unforgettable You we return to Starlight Hill where it is Scott's turn to tell his tale.

Diane thought she had hit rock bottom when her fiancee, whom she'd been with for six years, fell for one of the brides who had come into her mother's bridal shop to buy a dress before she'd even had a groom. 

So she decided to go back to Starlight Hill to help her grandmother whom her mother was worried about.

But low and behold she discovered that you hadn't hit rock bottom till your most embarrassing moment is not only caught on film, but goes viral on the internet.

What exactly happened and will she and Scott be able to succeed at getting the video taken down?

Read it and find out.

Oh, what a book. I so enjoyed I'll Be Home for Christmas.

 It is a wonderful tale of two sisters that had never known that the other existed. That was until, while working on a school project, Tilly discovers that she is not only adopted, but has a sister in Ireland.

This is a touching tale showing the bonds of family and how far reaching they can be. And you might not even the most invisible ones mean more to someone else.

I received this copy of I'll Be Home for Christmas by Roisin Meaney from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I liked Bella's Christmas Bake Off. I found it to be truly touching, but I have more of a dry sense of humor.  Many of the humorous moments I found to be more uncomfortable.

But, I did thoroughly enjoy the sentimental moments between Amy and Bella. The story had a strong base, interesting arc and a touching ending.

I received this copy of Bella's Christmas Bake Off by Sue Watson from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The Runaway Christmas Bride by Scarlet Wilson is a delightfully sweet romance.

Sorry I have been on hiatus for a few days. My hubby and I went to Florida for a few days for his mother's surprise 80th birthday party. And while we were there we took a side trip to our favorite place on Earth Disney World where we enjoyed Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and some much needed one on one time.

With him working the 911 Operations Center and the home business we just don't take as much couple time as we should.

But this past weekend we did and it was soooo good for us both emotionally and as a couple.

I adored The Christmas Cottage/Ever After by Samantha Chase.

These are two enchanting Christmas tales.

According to family legend. A couple who spends the night in The Christmas Cottage has love everlasting.

Ava has heard the legend her entire life and was trying to make everything about her first night of her marriage perfect. But. sometimes perfect isn't all it's cracked up to be. And your perfect man is the one who has been right in front of you the whole time.

I am always looking for a new author, series or genre to read. If you have a great recommendation please let me know.

Please do keep in mind that most of my reading is done through Netgalley, the library system and those items that are free on Amazon.com.

As always, Joanne Rock gave us an excellent book.  Last Chance Christmas is a wonderful second chance story. After being in a horrible automobile accident in which she broke her leg and ribs she called in sick, only to find out that the company she worked for was going bankrupt.

 So, after a ten year hiatus, she headed home for a hometown Christmas. Only, her parents had decided that this was the year that they would take their dream vacation to Hawaii.

This was a sweet Halloween treat. I haven't read any of the other books in the  Morgan's of Nashville series, I'll Never Let You Go was able to stand all on it's own. Both Leah and Alex are likable characters.

I am compelled to find the rest of the series.

Her parents are but shells of themselves, the families ancestral home is disintegrating around them and the families finances are non-existing.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend a night alone in a haunted house? Cold Alone is a look into the frightful night of one housekeepers ordeal.

While Cold Alone by Laura Benedict is such a fast read that it seems to end before it even begins, it is a heart-thumping good read. And once you are finished with it you can be thankful that more thrills can currently be found in two full length novels; Bliss House and Charlotte's Story.

Looking for a fast paced, breathtaking thriller? Then you need to read Hanover House. This novella is a superb introduction into this new series by Brenda Novak,

This novella centers around Evelyn Talbot who is not only a survivor of a serial killer, but is opening a level 4 maximum security facility to study the minds of the psychopath.

I received this copy of Accidentally Hers by Jamie Beck from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

I wanted so much from this book. But, it just never caught my attention. It is a nice, quick romance.

I really did try to read this one. It should have been a nice quick read. But, it just wasn't there. I won't give up on Jamie Beck I know she has it in her. But, this one just fell short of my expectations.

I'm not saying that you won't be enraptured by this tale, it just wasn't my cup of tea. So, please do give it a try.

Jingle Bell Harbor by Tracy Brogan is a fantastic, fast talking novella full of a sweet romance, fun characters and catchy zingers.

If you are a fan of fast talking Characters with a dry sense of humor, that talk fast like the Gilmore Girls, then please give this book a try. I think you're gonna love it. If you're looking for a book full of scandalous moments and erotic scenes, you will want to pass up on this book.

I received this copy of Jingle Bell Harbor by Tracy Brogan from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Dead Ringer by Jessie Rosen is a chillingly devious novel with numerous gotcha moments. It really starts to make you reconsider your thoughts on who would normally be a villain. I received this copy of Dead Ringer by Jessie Rosen from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Yet again I let a book cut in line. This time it was Visions (The Mystical Encounter Series #1) by Kimberly Readnour.

I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Visions is an spooky tale filled with friendship and mystery. If you enjoy Goosebumps and Fearstreet you will love this first book of Kimberly Readnour's trilolgy. I can't wait for more.

I received this copy of The Grave of Lainey Grace by Aaron Galvin from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The was a magical book. It caught the attention of the child in me big time. Fans of The Chronicles of Narnia and Where the Wild Things Are will love this tale.

Review of Frozen Charlotte by @alex_bell86 with @stripesbooks.

Ouija boards, ghosts and antique porcelain dolls. I'm not sure more needs to be said. But, I will go on. Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell is a chilling tale that should be read on a cold and stormy fall night. It's a perfect October read.

I received this copy of Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Last night I just wanted to read a couple of pages of the latest book that I added to my Kindle.
Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell. It is a young adult novel, but in my honest opinion I believe that just about anyone is going to find this one creepy. In a good way of course. Seeing as how I love a good creepy book. I guess there is just something about old fashioned porcelain dolls.

Needless to say I didn't put it down last night like I'd meant to. No, instead I read 75% of the book. Guess I'll finish it today and start Christmas at Evergreen Inn afterwards

Wishes for Christmas by @fernmichaels with @KensingtonBooks is a collection of tales featuring the Godmothers and Sisterhood that will brighten your day and touch your heart.

While I am not too into cozy mysteries there are a few authors out there that write them that I cannot resist.

One of them is Leigh Perry and her series about Sid the Skeleton and Dr. Georgia Thackery.

The Skeleton Haunts a House is the latest installment and one that I loved.

below is my official review.

I received this copy of The Skeleton Haunts a House by Leigh Perry from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book. There is just something about Sid the skeleton that I cannot resist. This series is an excellent example of what a cozy mystery should be.

As always I was grabbed at the beginning of the book and held captive till the very end.

While this is part of a series, The Skeleton Haunts a House stands on its own feet if you've never read one of the other books.

Just watch out for Sid's antics, you don't want to get caught laughing anywhere inappropriate.

I received this copy of Ghost for Sale by Sandra Cox @sandracox from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book. It is a fun, lighthearted read. What happens when your cousin buys two ghosts on ebay, you'll have to read the book to find out.

One Wish in Manhattan by @MandyBaggot with @bookouture I enjoyed it. It took awhile for me to get caught up in the story and there were a few times I'd thought about stopping, But, I am glad I continued.

Below is my official review.

I received this copy of One Wish in Manhattan by Mandy Baggot from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

This book is a great combination of heart, soul and laughter. At first I didn't know if I liked it, but before long it drew me in and I was captivated..

There might not be anyone out there reading this blog, But, I kind of like doing this. There is something about knowing that if nothing else there is a place out there where my thoughts are. I won't be forgotten by the universe.

I couldn't resist reading Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses by Jenny Hale ahead of it's place in the stack. SO, it got started early. Below is it's review.

I received this copy of Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses by Jenny Hale in exchange for an honest review.

I knew Jenny Hale would give us a great book, and I was not disappointed. It is great from start to finish. This is a Christmas tale that would be great to read anytime and anywhere from in front of a toasty fire to poolside.

Well, I finally finished Matt Marinovich's Winter Girl. Below is the official review.

I received this copy of The Winter Girl from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. The Winter Girl was well written and may be exactly what some people are looking for. However, it was not what I had been expecting. But, if you are a fan of the television show American Horror, this may be the right book for you.

I started Somebody Like you by Heatherly Bell yesterday and I finished it tonight.

Below is my official review

I received a copy of Somebody Like You from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Heatherly Bell wrote a delightful, light read with a quirky cast of characters. I can't wait to find out more about the residents of Starlight Hill.

Yes, Christmas is three months away, but now is when alot of the Christmas books are being released on Netgalley. Therefore, you will be seeing a number of Christmas books on my blog.

Besides, is it ever the wrong time of year to read a happy Christmas book???

Last night I finished Marry Me at Christmas by @susanmallery



I received a free copy of of Marry Me at Christmas by Susan Mallery in exchange for an honest review.

Madeline and Jonny have great chemistry from the start. Marry Me at Christmas grabbed hold of me from the start and kept hold till I had to put it down (only because I'd finished the book).

One of the greatest things about a Susan Mallery book is how she breathes life into her characters. They seem real. They have flaws and suffer from some of life's real tribulations.

If you've visited Fool's Gold before, you will get updates on some of your favorite characters. But, if you've never been here before, that fine too. Just settle in and make yourself at home.

Marry Me at Christmas

It just got hear. Could you hear the squeal?

The Reluctant Duchess by Sharon Cullen finally made it to the top of my To Be Read Stack and.....

I finished it in just two evenings. I have to say that it was a delight to read.

Below is my official review.

I received this copy of The Reluctant Duchess by Sharon Cullen from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was delighted by this novel. I started reading it late one night and hated putting it down, and finished it the very next night so that I wouldn't have to put it down once more.

Cullen's Ross and Sara are two characters that you just can't help but fall in love with.

I am definitely going to be looking for more of her work.

Just finished The Veil by Megan Chance (book 3 of the Fianna Trilogy). Below is the official review.

I received this copy of The Veil by Megan Chance from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The Veil was a fantastic ending to the series. The Fianna Trilogy was a great series and The Veil was just the icing on the cake.

I was so excited when I logged into Susan Mallery's website and discovered that I got a spot on her review crew.

That means...I will be among the first lucky souls who get to read a copy of Marry Me at Christmas her next Fool's Gold novel.

I'll let you all know when I have it in my hands.

Well, I know it's about time. But, I have finished reading Devious by Lisa Jackson and below is the official review.

I received this copy of Devious by Lisa Jackson from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Yet again Lisa Jackson has written a great read.

New Orleans is hit once more by multiple murders. Is Father John still alive or is someone else the culprit? Detectives Montoya and Bentz have to solve these murders before any more of St. Marguerite's nuns are murdered.

August 30th I spent the evening at the End of Summer Beach bash on Writerspace, during which I found a new author I'm going to be adding to my To Be Read Stack.

It's Danica Winters, she writes paranormal romance. And I joined her street team where all I need to do is mention on social media when she has something big happening.

Kind of easy to do, isn't it?

Happy birthday

Well. Happy birthday to me. It's just been one of those days. 

At least pizza has been ordered and I should be done with my work soon. 

Have a good one all

Just an update.

I am now 19% through Lisa Jackson's Devious

and

9% through The Veil by Megan Chance

My 41st Birthday is coming up Monday and it isn't any surprise what it is that I really, really want.

Well, let's see, I am currently reading three books at once.

Come on, you all do this, You feel like reading a book, but one's too dark. One is too light and the last one is just right.

Here is what's on my current reading stack

Devious by Lisa Jackson

Pop Goes the Weasel by M J  Arlidge

The Veil by Megan Chance

Hope your reading list as as full packed.

I received this copy of Long Tall Christmas by Janet Dailey from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Take a widow with two teenagers who moved in whit her aging aunt and her handyman. Add a motorcycle riding cowboy who has finally gotten the chance to live his dream of riding his motorcycle cross country. Add a splash of a Christmas snow storm and you have a great recipe for a Christmas time romance.

I received this copy of The House on Seventh Street by karen Vorbeck WIlliams from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

And I have to say, that I am so glad I did read it. When I'd started to read this book I had expected the usual mystery. Instead I found a book that immediately drew me in and didn't let go till I had read the final page. It is well written, with rich and warm characters.

I am now currently reading two books.

Long Tall Christmas by Janet Dailey

and

The House on Seventh Street by Karen Vorbeck Williams

I could swear that I had requested The house on Seventh Street on Netgalley, but my request had been denied. So, I was excited when I spotted it on the Read Now list. So, I started to read it while already reading Long Tall Christmas.

I just got another badge from Netgalley

Alright, I finished another one.

I received this copy of Once Upon a Fairy Tale: A Collection of 11 Fairy Tales Inspired Romances from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

I found this to be a delightful collection. There is a romance in this collection for everyone.

Well, I started reading Once Upon a Fairy tale: A Collection of 11 Fairy Tale Inspired Romances  instead of Long Tall Christmas last night.

So far they are pretty good. As always some of the tales are better than other. Hold on just a couple of days and I'll update with some of my favorites in the collection.

I received this copy of The Art of Ruining a Rake from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I'd started reading this book expecting a quick, buzz through romance. I was charmingly surprised to discover that it was a much deeper and richer book than I'd anticipated.

Oh, I did finish Linda Lael Miller's Montana Creeds, Logan. as well as Montana Creeds, Dylan.

They were both exactly what I like when I am listening to an audio book. Then I like a series where you get to know not only the main characters of the book, but the cast of characters surrounding them. Anticipating the upcoming books involving the others on the periphery. And the same narrator is a huge bonus.

I started Linda Lael Miller's Montana Creeds, Tyler. But, I just couldn't get into that one. Maybe, once again, it was just my mood.

So I moved on to a different genre.


Charlaine Harris' A Fool and his Honey.

I started off this week expecting to read so much more than I have.

I'd list a million excuses, but the real reason is the most obvious. I was lazy. I just couldn't seem to get caught up in it. It has nothing to do with the reading material at hand, and everything to do with me.

Have you ever felt like that?

Unfortunately I didn't spend much time at all reading last night. But, tonight I plan on making that up. I just finished painting and I will be starting to read just after dinner.

I am so excited I am now up to three, yes that is three badges on Netgalley,

I've been known to read a little bit of everything from Young Adult to Classic Literature.

Currently I am reading The Art of Ruining a Rake by Emma Locke.

Not sure what I think of it yet as I just started it last night after finishing What to Do With a Duke by Sally MacKenzie which I had thoroughly enjoyed after all of the fantasy/Sci-fi that I had just finished reading.

I also listen to audio books while doing any type of work around the house.

On my player at the moment is Linda Lael Miller's Montana Creeds, Logan.

I've been reading books through Netgalley for about a month now, and I am truly enjoying it immensely. It has allowed me to discover some new, unheard of authors. Some of which I plan to watch for further work from.

Just trying this out to see what it's like
