So many funny situations, especially with the Sisters. Never had a real wedding so missed out on trying out gowns, bachelorette party etc. Author details it is all before your eyes so you can picture yourself as being there.

Love this story especially because he does things without asking and it's appreciated. Can't wait to read the others in this series.

 

Book Review: Matilda Next Door by Kelly Hunter

  

Matilda Next Door by Kelly Hunter

This story starts out with Tilly and she's going to London to take a special baking course. She loves to bake for the locals and friends. She will be staying at Henry's apartment while he is visiting in Australia-the next farm over. He has ailing grandparents and he hopes to get them the care they need to lighten their load. He also has made a lot of money with his company. While there years earlier he had a relationship with a woman.  After a few days in London Tilly meets Henry's new baby girl. The mother had passed away and a friend had dropped all the babies things off at Harrys.    She uses the internet to find out how to take care of the baby. Harry was heading to London but his grandmother has a medical emergency so Tilly brings the baby to him. So many twists and turns in this book.

So many of them  didn't have a good upbringing so they are not sure how to tend to a baby and their needs.   There are so many things he needs to do and he does want a family, but he's not sure if Tilly is the right one for them.

She's about to give up her dream of more baking classes to stay close to Harry and the baby....

Fear, struggles, loneliness, ...

Love the travel and excursions she was able to take while in London and learning how they take care of their farms in Australia.

What a way to become a father.

 

Book Review: The Stardust Cowboy by Anne McAllister

  

The Stardust Cowboy by Anne McAllister

This story starts out with Riley and he's on his way to pay a visit to a woman who birthed his nephew. He has sad news for her but is offering to buy out her 1/2 share of the family  ranch. Dori and her son Jake think about it a while and she decides for Jake and his dream that they need to visit the ranch. Love that they just show up one day and she rather takes over the house chores. Riley keeps Jake with him all day teaching him how to take care of the animals and the ranch. One day it will all be his. 

Dori is able to meet the locals an there is a lot of gossip and the women want to know about her and Riley. She denies it then she notices he is very friendly with an old class mate Tricia. 

Lots of twists and turns.

Love the ranch and everything there is to do there, the community coming together and the love of everyone. Yes there is gossip and rumors but it's like that in a small town.

You wonder if they will get together or if they are going their separate ways.

Love legend of the stardust cowboy, such an imagination. Adult situations.

Jun 4 Book Review: The Cowboy’s Untamed Heart (Sweethearts of the Rodeo Book 2) by Jamie K. Schmidt

  

 

The Cowboy’s Untamed Heart (Sweethearts of the Rodeo Book 2) by Jamie K. Schmidt

This story follows Reba and love that I know a bit about her from the previous book in the series.  She's the rodeo vet and I love hearing all the intricate political moves and why things happen as they do in the rodeo.

The bull rodeos have merged the woman’s’ and men’s divisions and there are new rules to follow.

Reba is able to take blood samples and diagnose different things that are going on....

Story is also following Shane who used to ride but his ranch is providing the bulls to the rodeos around the US.

Adult situations.  There are others involved in the scheme of things. Like finding out the clues as to who is harming the animals and why. Reminds me of Kentucky Derby and why so many horses are now dying...  Love this series and can’t wait to read more.

Received this review copy from the publisher and this is my honest opinion. 

Book Review: A Time to Seek (The Time Travel Journals of Sahara Aldridge Book 1) by Tracy Higley

  

 

A Time to Seek (The Time Travel Journals of Sahara Aldridge Book 1) 

by Tracy Higley

Story starts with Sahara and she's an archeologist and loves her job, especially in Egypt. She has been at the forefront of digs many times. She gets a note that peeks her interest and she knows some things from living with her parents when they were alive.

She is able to figure out how to do time travel and learns that her parents had also been at the palace but had just left and there is a daughter, not her though. She has many clues to decipher.

What I like best about his book: travel at present and past locations, mysteries,  magical and believable. With Help from Jack she is able to understand more about time travel. Everything is so descriptive story will make you think you are there also. 

Like the discoveries she is able to make and at the end the list of other books in the series are also listed. Can't wait to read more.
