pickAmber thinks she‘s just stopping in for a quick visit with her godmother. Then she is swept into the overhaul of Cranberry Stores and feels like she has finally found her home. Her meeting with Josh was hazardous (they fell into the river 🤪), but they still warm up to each other. I felt the ending was abrupt in this meander to getting to know the village, but well worth the read. I really like getting to know the characters of the villages.

pickI'm going waaaay back to catch up on books I've been reading these last several months so I honestly don't remember many details about this book. But I do remember it was a 5 star read. Even though it's considered a romance book the romance scenes were few and far between and the 🌶 levels were low. Without spoiling the end I loved that the main character makes herself a priority over the sometimey men in her life. Self love for the win 🥰

pickLow pick for me- the female MC was unnecessarily mean but I really liked that her best friend called her out and she got somewhat nicer.
A finance bro recovering from burn out starts a fancy dog store across the street from the small town pet supply store and ignites a stream of hatred from the college drop out who runs it with her grandfather. They decide to work together to train their dogs for the town dog show.
2.5/5 needs more dogs

I really would like to give it more accolades, but there is one flaw I cannot let go. The main MFC says that she has studied law and is going to pursue a professorship in Boston after more education. Yet, she doesn't use her supposed understanding of the law to help her brother. She was a fine detective, but the legality issue is not there.
I enjoyed the sweet romance.
Thanks, lauriesandfordbooks for allowing me to read.
pickLove these old Harlequins. Although it's more a novel about Cara and her new job and her mean boss who is out to make her life miserable than a romance novel. The book is just under 200 pages, and 100 pages in the heroine and the hero had only seen each three times, and two of those were very brief meetings. But I loved Cara and was deeply invested in her life, and very much enjoyed the book, even if the romantic resolution was a little rushed.
I made a detailed plan for my vacation. But I'm glad I was willing to let go of my plan and accept what came my way. I saved a hundred bucks or so because the hostel I booked asked if I could stay in a bunk instead of a semi-private room. My hostel ended up being right across the street from my parents' hotel, so I was able to get free parking. And I stumbled upon some great restaurants by just wandering. 🩵🩵🩵
