Book Review: Mistletoe in Juneau

Mistletoe in Juneau 

Author: Dahlia Rose 

Publisher: Hallmark Publishing

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mistletoe in Juneau is a Christmas romance novel set in Juneau, Alaska. Danni needs a break from her fast-paced lifestyle and social media business, so she decides to visit her best friend in Juneau. She meets the local sheriff, Declan, and immediately finds herself drawn to him. But with a life in New York, will life and Juneau and a potential love interest be enough to make her stay past Christmas?

My favorite Hallmark Christmas movies are Christmas Under Wraps and The Northern Lights of Christmas, so Mistletoe in Juneau went right to the top of my tbr list as soon as my request was approved. This book is absolutely perfect for the Christmas season. Alaska location complete with northern lights? Check. Swoony romance? Check. Christmas themes throughout the book? I'm sold. I enjoyed reading the love story between Danni and Declan; they are great characters and both had such big hearts. Declan's past is heartbreaking, and his story is handled with great care. And again, I could not get enough of the beautiful Juneau setting. Mistletoe in Juneau is a must read for fans of Hallmark movies and Christmas romance novels.

Thanks to Netgalley and Hallmark Publishing for this ARC; this is my honest and voluntary review.

Book Review: Her Dark Seduction (Featured Review on Netgalley!)

Her Dark Seduction  Author: Emily Royal Publish Date: April 28, 2021 Publisher: The Wild Rose Press, Inc. Review: 4/5 Stars Her Dark Seduction is a historical fiction novel that follows the story of Lady Lisetta, forced into a loveless marriage with Lord Mortlock and bound into service for him. She is drawn to his manservant, Vane Sawford, and soon becomes tangled in his world, both in love and as a means of survival.  This book is one wild ride to say the least. Engaging from beginning to end, I had trouble putting the book down and ended up finishing it in one day. Lady Lisetta is an incredibly strong female lead, and it is easy to get invested in her story. The trials she faces are significant, and the reader is left likely rooting out loud for her during many parts of the book (and also yelling "no, why????" during in other sections). As a novice reader of historical fiction, I would like to point out that the setting of this book is written in a time when women were seen

Book Review: Chasing the Stars

Chasing the Stars  Author: Melanie Hooyenga ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chasing the Stars is the second book in the Campfire Series and follows the story of Naomi and Hunter. Naomi runs a podcast with her brother and is not a big believer in love at first sight. Hunter is incredibly focused on his future and doesn't have time for distractions, including romance. But when they finally meet on a family camping trip, sparks fly and the stars may just align for these two. One thing I absolutely LOVE is a book with a good cover, and that is the number one reason I went out of my way to try to get an ARC of Chasing the Stars (a big thanks again to the author!). The second thing I can't get enough of is a book with a camping/outdoor/nature setting. So two big boxes checked for this book. I liked the dual POV telling of the story, and enjoyed reading the book from both Naomi and Hunter's perspectives. The romance aspect is told in a very age appropriate manner, and I have to say I really appreciated this

Book Review: Well-Offed in Vermont

Well-Offed in Vermont  Author: Amy Patricia Meade Publisher: Beyond the Page Publishing  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well-Offed in Vermont is a quirky mystery novel that follows Stella and Nick as they leave behind the busy New York lifestyle for quiet Vermont. However, finding a body in a well on their property throws a bit of a wrench in their plans. Removed from their new home, the couple tries to help solve the murder in hopes of returning home and preventing further tragedies. I'll be honest: mystery novels are not my usual genre of choice. However, after seeing several on Netgalley with great covers and fun titles like Well-Offed in Vermont, I thought I would give the genre a chance. I can definitely see why readers love these books. Well-Offed in Vermont is a pretty well rounded book, with murder mystery combined with humorous dialogue. The small town Vermont setting certainly doesn't hurt either. I finished this book in a couple of sitting and had a great time trying to solve the murder along
