 I am reading Sticks and Stones by Dianne Beck. I will be posting reading progress updates along the way. This is a big book it has a lot of chapters in it. I wasn’t sure about this book because of the title so I thought I would take a chance. 

Review: Once Upon a Date (Do-Over Date Series Book 6) by Susan Hatler

Here is  a summary of what the book is about. It wasn't a glass slipper that Michelle Moss left behind at the Masquerade Ball, but a beat up laptop. Her driver remained human, her ride didn't turn into a pumpkin, and thank goodness she didn't see any mice waiting for her in her condo. But Michelle did spontaneously kiss her masked Prince Charming and was determined to find him.

Tracking down her missing laptop using a locator app, she fully expected birds to sing, rice to fall from the sky, and the credits to roll when she found her potential true love. Instead, she found the editor, Brooks Keller, who rejected her modern fairytale manuscript. He told her the book was unrealistic, unimaginable, and unpublishable. Oh, and he's also the ex who dumped her in high school.

Michelle urgently needs the book advance to bail her not-so-wicked but irresponsible stepbrother out of a financial mess. But she doesn't want to change her fairytale ending. So, Michelle and Brooks make a deal: they will retrace her character's steps from the book and if Brooks falls head over heels for Michelle then Brooks will publish the book Michelle's way. If not, then Michelle will make the requested changes.

As Michelle tests out the life she always dreamed of, she discovers the chemistry with Brooks is still there after all these years. She knows Brooks is only playing the part of the hero, but everything feels so real. If she acts on her feelings, though, will he break her heart a second time?

I just love short sweet clean romance book. The Do-Over Date series by Susan Hatler makes me happy. This book was written well. I love the characters of this series. It was a cute story.  I am looking forward to reading more book by this author.

Happy Reading Everyone! 

Review: Of Literature and Lattes by Katherine Reay

 Here is a summary of what the book is about . After fleeing her hometown three years earlier, Alyssa Harrison never planned to return. Then the Silicon Valley start - up she worked for collapsed and turned her world upside down. She is broke, under FBI investigation, and without a place to go. Having exhausted every option, she comes home to Winsome, Illinois, to regroup and move on as quickly as possible.

Yet as friends and family welcome her back, Alyssa begins to see a place for herself in this small Midwestern community. 

Jeremy Mitchell moved from Seattle to Winsome to be near his daughter and to open the coffee shop he's been dreaming of for years. Problem is, the business is bleeding money-and he's not quite sure why. When he meets Alyssa, he senses an immediate connection, but what he needs most is someone to help him save his floundering business. After asking for her help, he wonders if something might grow between them- but forces beyond their control soon complicate their already complex lives, and the future they both hoped for is not at all what they anticipated. With the help of Winsome's small-town charm and quirky residents, Alyssa and Jeremy discover the beauty and romance of second chances.

I thought this was a cute and sweet story. There are some twists and turns in it. I thought it was written well. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

Happy Reading Everyone!
