Review for Redwood Bend (Virgin River #16) by Robyn Carr

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Even tho this was only The 3rd Novel ive read in this series by Robyn i have to say this one is another favorite of mine. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Katie and Dylan were definately my favorites. I couldnt stop shipping them throughout the book. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Virgin River while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall Another Good Book in this Contemporary Romance Series!! Can't wait to read more by Robyn in the future!!

Review for Sunday at The Sunflower Inn (The Honey Creek Series #4) by Jodi Thomas

Even tho this was only The 3rd Novel ive read by Jodi but i have to say i think she's MY GO TO Contemporary Fiction Author since i seem to really emmerse myself into her books. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Jam, Tucson, Winston and Lilly were definately my favorites because i love how they were all connected to each other especially with their backstories. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Houston Texas while reading especially when the scenery was described.

Review for The Marriage Game by Fern Michaels

  
Rating: 4 Stars!! 
Review: 
This book was VERY Hard to settle on a definate rating since i had a few issues with it wish i'll explain more below BUT To be Fair, Fern's Books are ALWAYS A MISS for me with ONLY 1 ive really enjoyed. 

As i began this book i didnt expect The Twist to happen at The Beginning of The Book which for me i think took away My Excitement to fully enjoy this book which is why i had to knock off 1 and a half points from this rating. 

WHY Start a Book off with Newlyweds get Home from their Honeymoon and The Bride finds ALREADY SIGNED Divorce Papers from her Husband?! Like WHO in their right mind does that?! 

I feel like that SHOULDNT of been revealed til THE MIDDLE of The Book which made this book feel BERY RUSHED. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Samantha was definately My Favorite with her determination to find out WHY her Husband filed for Divorce. Like if it were me i'd want to find out to cause i dont get why someone would do that. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in California while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall an OK Contemporary Romance but could of been better. I will read more by Fern in the future but i hope her other books arent like this one was.

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually Blackberry Falls PA while reading especially when the scenery was described.

Review for Velvet Was The Night by Silvia Moreno Garcia

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Where do i begin with this review?! 

This was My First time reading a Historical Fiction Novel by Silvia so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i enjoyed this one more then i thought i would. 

The Book was about Maite, A Politicians Secretary who helps Local Detective Elvis El Mang solve her friend's murder in June 1971 Mexico. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Maite was definately a favorite even tho at times she came off as a "Know it All" when helping Detective El Mango solve the murder. Kind of like Jessica Fletcher in "Murder She Wrote". 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was in June 1971 while reading especially when the scenery and musicians was described. 

Overall a Good Historical Mystery Novel!! I do wish this was part of a series cause i'd LOVE to see what ot her murders Maite and Elvis would solve. 

Can't wait to read more by Silvia in the future!!

Review for Breakfast At The Honey Creek Cafe (The Honey Creek Series #1) by Jodi Thomas

  
Rating: 5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was only the 2nd Novel ive read by Jodi with Mornings on Main being My 1st so i kind of knew what to expect but since each of her books covers a different story i was anxious to see what this one would be about and im glad i did because this one was so much more enjoyable then Mornings On Main. 

The Characters were fun and enjoyable to read about. Piper, Sam and Anna were definately my favorites especially Anna where she had me laughing and shaking my head several times. 

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Honey Creek, Texas while reading especially when the scenery was described. 

Overall a Phenomenally Enjoyable Book 1 in this Contemporary Series!! Can't wait to read more by Jodi in the future!!
