Leigh Duncan




⭐⭐⭐⭐

Romance, clean; contemporary Hallmark movie adaptation

Clean romance, Jenny is an assistant to her cousin, a famous movie start. In order to keep her cousin's wedding plans secret, she pretends she is the bride planning her wedding in Heart's Landing. The town's wedding venues and businesses are always looking for a "True" Heart's Landing Bride. Jenny's kind, genuine, sweet personality, have Nick and the other vendor's labeling her a "True" bride and making concessions to help her have her dream/ideal wedding. As her cousin repeatedly changes her mind, things get tense. Nick helps Jenny with 'her' wedding plans, the vendors, and making decisions, and takes her around Hearts Landing, and just to help her decompress. Nick fights his attraction to an 'engaged' woman, as he spends time with Jenny, he can't help but lose his heart to Jenny. Genuine, honest, characters, with sweet chemistry, fun, unique romantic setting, Jenny and Nick's romance and fall was a fun escape read. More of a 3.5 for me as a reader.
I received ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. My opinions are my own.

"The Indebted Earl" by Erica Vetsch

The Indebted Earl Serendipty and Secrets Book 3 Erica Vetsch GoodReads Review    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭑ Romance, clean, Regency; mild Christian faith elements Lovely romance with Captain Charles Wyvern and Lady Sophia (Sophie) told so well. While the plot was easy to guess, the specifics with sailing, the naval scenes, the war wounds, the situation with relatives, the wards, and the whole scope of the novel, was just so well put together, I didn't mind the easy guess as to where the plot was heading. Strong depictions of many of the supporting characters, and of the depth of Charles' naval situation, and his love of the sea, make for a stunning, and deeply moving portrait of a naval officer in a transition point of his career. Sophie's situation with her 'mother-in-law', her devotion to her and Rich's memory, reminded me of the story of Ruth from the Bible.  The grieving of many people in the novel for Major Richardson was also so well described and detailed. It was

 Is It Any Wonder: A Nantucket Love Story Courtney Walsh GoodReads Review    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Romance, clean, contemporary; Christian faith elements Louisa/Lou and Cody's story, entangled in their past, and their families past, was masterfully told. Themes of faith, and forgiveness weigh heavily in this novel. It is a Romance too though, as they have shared a young love in the past that was so much a part of their lives growing up, and the tragedy that separated them as young adults leaving home after graduating from high school. A mistake of Louisa's, and near tragedy brings them together, and as they are put together through various events and circumstances, their hearts open to each other again. C.W. knows how to write troubles without them becoming so overly dramatic to be unbelievable in this novel. This is the perfect addition to this series. The sweet tender hearts, the angst and worry with all the family issues and personal issues, and of course, their working through

"In Harm's Way" by Traci Hunter Abramson

  In Harm's Way Traci Hunter Abramson EXCERPT: Senator Walter Royce didn’t pay attention to the posted menu outside the busy restaurant in Montmartre as he walked through the entrance. He had one purpose for being here, and it had nothing to do with the food. “Un,” he told the host, holding up one finger to make up for his complete lack of a French accent. On the surface, his trip to Paris was nothing more than a quick family getaway, but in reality, it was a much-needed excuse. The host said something in French, and Walter shook his head apologetically. “I’m sorry. I don’t understand. Do you have an English menu?” The younger man nodded and showed him up a half flight of stairs to the dining area. Walter took his seat at a table in the center of the room, and the host handed him a menu. “Merci.” Once alone, he glanced around the establishment. Through the windows, he could see the tables filled with patrons lining the sidewalk and waiters breezing in and out of the kitchen. In co
