The Inn at Rose Harbor by Debbie Macomber



Book Description

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber comes a heartwarming new series based in the Pacific Northwest town of Cedar Cove, where a charming cast of characters finds love, forgiveness, and renewal behind the doors of the cozy Rose Harbor Inn.

Jo Marie Rose first arrives in Cedar Cove seeking a sense of peace and a fresh start. Coping with the death of her husband, she purchases a local bed-and-breakfast—the newly christened Rose Harbor Inn—ready to begin her life anew. Yet the inn holds more surprises than Jo Marie can imagine.

Her first guest is Joshua Weaver, who has come home to care for his ailing stepfather. The two have never seen eye to eye, and Joshua has little hope that they can reconcile their differences. But a long-lost acquaintance from Joshua’s high school days proves to him that forgiveness is never out of reach and love can bloom even where it’s least expected.

The other guest is Abby Kincaid, who has returned to Cedar Cove to attend her brother’s wedding. Back for the first time in twenty years, she almost wishes she hadn’t come, the picturesque town harboring painful memories from her past. And while Abby reconnects with family and old friends, she realizes she can only move on if she truly allows herself to let go.

My Review

This book is one of many that I have read by Debbie Macomber.  She is one of my favorite authors of all time.  I read all of her earlier series in Cedar Cove and I was so excited to read this one as well.  Thank you Debbie for giving us all a GREAT book to read and I am hoping it will be a series.  I just love Debbie’s work. 

The story starts out as Jo Marie Rose finds love finally and before long, she finds herself a war widow.  So, she decides with nudging from Paul Rose, her husband, to start a Bed and Breakfast and decides to move to Cedar Cove, Washington.  Then after she opens the B&B, she has 2 guests who have issues that they have to deal with along with JO Marie.  There is a handyman who Jo Marie has met and he is dealing with loss of some kind as well.  I just loved this story and hope everyone will pickup this book. 

This book is so good, I could go on and on but I won’t or else I will spoil it for you.

This book is one of the best ones I have ever read.  I would definitely recommend this book to my family and friends.  This kept my attention from the first page to the last page. 

Happy Wonderful Sunday!!!!!

With Every Letter by Sarah Sundin



This Book was supplied to me by Revell Publishers for a review in return.


Book Description

Lt. Mellie Blake is a nurse serving in the 802nd Medical Squadron, Air Evacuation, Transport. As part of a morale building program, she reluctantly enters into an anonymous correspondence with Lt. Tom MacGilliver, an officer in the 908th Engineer Aviation Battalion in North Africa. As their letters crisscross the Atlantic, Tom and Mellie develop a unique friendship despite not knowing the other's true identity. When both are transferred to Algeria, the two are poised to meet face to face for the first time. Will they overcome their fears and reveal who they are, or will their future be held hostage to their past? And can they learn to trust God and embrace the gift of love he offers them? Combining excellent research and attention to detail with a flair for romance, Sarah Sundin brings to life the perilous challenges of WWII aviation, nursing, and true love.

My Review

This book is the first book of Sarah Sundin’s that I have read and I guarantee you, it will not be the last one either. She is a GREAT author about World War II.

This book is about Mellie Blake, a Nurse in WWII and Lt. Tom MacGilliver and how they meet is amazing. They book go through a lot of trials, Mellie with not knowing how to make friends even with girls.  couldn't imagine that at all.  I always have had a lot of friends.  Then there is Tom, having to deal with issues about his father.  They meet through writing letters to each other; and how the Lord brings them together, only he can do. They become very close and good friends. As the book goes on, they eventually have to meet and who knows what happens next. I won’t say anything more so I don’t spoil it for you.

This book is one of the best ones I have ever read. I would definitely recommend this book to my family and friends. This kept my attention from the first page to the last page.

Thank you Revell Publishers for giving me a chance to read and review this WONDERFUL book. Thank you, Sarah Sundin, for giving us such a GREAT book to read. You are wonderful.

The Guest Book by Mary Beth Whalen



This Book was supplied to me by Zondervan Publishers through NetGalley for a review in return.


Book Description

When Macy Dillon was five years old her father encouraged her to draw a picture in the guestbook of a Carolina beach house. The next year, Macy returned to discover a drawing by an unidentified little boy on the facing page. Over the next eleven years the children continue to exchange drawings ... until tragedy ends visits to the beach house altogether. During her final trip to Sunset, Macy asks her anonymous friend to draw her one last picture and tells him where to hide the guest book in hopes that one day she will return to find it---and him. Twenty-five years after that first picture, Macy is back at Sunset Beach---this time toting a broken family and a hurting heart. One night, alone by the ocean, Macy asks God to help her find the boy she never forgot, the one whose beautiful pictures touched something deep inside of her. Will she ever find him? And if she does, will the guestbook unite them or merely be the relic of a lost childhood?

My Review

This book is the first book of Mary Beth Whalen that I have read and I guarantee you, it will not be the last one either. She is a GREAT author and I want to read more of her books.

This book is about Macy who has a daughter, Emma. When Emma was born, her father, Chase left Macy and to me, that is just not a father. But, after 5 years, he returns but Macy is just not so sure about him. In the meantime, Macy’s mother decides she wants to return to Sunset Beach. Macy’s dad has been gone for 10 years and I think her mom just wants to move on finally.

Macy remembers going to Sunset Beach when she is a little girl. This all stems around a Guest Book, because of the pictures that Macy drew and another little boy would do the same. But they don’t know each other. It is a wonderful adventure for Macy.

This book is one of the best ones I have ever read. I would definitely recommend this book to my family and friends. This kept my attention from the first page to the last page. I loved it also, because of most of the story is at the Beach. I can’t read more books by Mary Beth Whalen.

Thank you Zondervan Publishers for giving me a chance to read and review this WONDERFUL book. Thank you, Mary Beth, for giving us such a GREAT book to read. You are wonderful.
