The White Christmas Inn by -Wright_ Colleen
This book follows the people who show up for the wedding, one who is there to write a children's story as she's alone she wants peace and quiet and many others who live in the area and some who are stranded due to the snow storm.
Each person has their own problems and what I love about this book are the ages of the people and their particular problems.
The big snow storm hits in VT and all along the NE of the US. Wedding party shows up all but the groom. Others show up when the roads are closed.
There is no food at the inn as the caterer can't make it there with the food truck. Love how they are given what they need to survive from neighbors. Love also how they get the supplies.
Other intense problems are dealt with and each finds their own solution. Would love to read the next book, although this is not a series, it'd be cool to have them all show up a few years down the road to catch up.
Christmas and the decorations and smells of good food only enhance this book.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
Beauchamp Hall by Steel_ Danielle
Winnie lives in her deceased mothers house and has Rob as a boyfriend for over 11 years.
Her sister has a husband and two boys and her life is busy. Winnie works at the local printing shop and tolerates her boss.
She gets a copy of the English show and can't get away from it and orders the rest of the series. She's no longer appreciating his sexual moves and she wants love and it's not him...
Love how she is able to follow her dreams after so much turmoil. Like how she has to go back home and realizes the direction her life is going in...
Not really into the England movement but this book makes me think twice about it all. So caring. Love how it ends up.

The Glass Affair by Wayne Epperson
Starts out with Bernie owning his own investigation company and he employs Frank.
Then he also has Randi apply as she has some training and Bernie hopes Frank can teach her more.
They have a client and they start calling their associates for more information about the people involved. They are warned to stay away from the family.
Reminds me kind of like another TV show, very precise details but laid back in a way.
The woman ends up dead and now it's really up to Frank to find out why because he knows she took on too much. maybe even too much for him?
He looks into her past and follows that lead to talk to her old boss in TN which leads to other clues and he follows those also.
Back in town and Bernie has a lead on the bombing of their building. it's a wonder how this is all connected.
Lots of people involved, easy to lose track of it all...
