Ties That BindTies That Bind by Marie Bostwick
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the latest book in the Cobbled Quilt series. It was Margot's story.

I enjoyed this book - although it got a little long for me. I felt like it dragged in places.
We spent so much time / energy on the Custody battle and then ir seemed to wrap up on a page, some how I felt a little cheated.

A few suprises were thrown in and I always loe books with dogs as characters. This was on exception, the visual I have of Clemetine will stay with me for a long time.

FoundFound by Shelley Shepard Gray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great ending to this series, in this book we finally find out what happens to Perry. I would say for the most part loose ends were tied up but there are stila few things I wonder about. I really came to care for a lot of the characters and hope that somehow they might how up in another book someday.

Gone Missing (Kate Burkholder, #4)Gone Missing by Linda Castillo
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

A little too much language for me.

I liked the story behind this book the amish adult who left and became police chief.
But I think the story could of been told with less language. The story would of been just as good to me. I will never understand why people beleive that adding vulgar language makes a better story.

I have decided not to read the third book at this time.

Until ForeverUntil Forever by Darlene Shortridge
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This books was excellent! It had just a few character and we really started to care for them. God was on every page of this book. The focus was always on God. There wasn't fluff just greaet story telling. One of the coolest things is that although God was on every page you didn't feel like God was being choked upon you. This was a great showing of who God was in the lives of these people.

I read a lot of Christian fiction but this book took that to a whole new level. It made you want to pray for them as they struggled.

If I'd Never Known Your Love (Center Point Premier Romance (Largeprint))If I'd Never Known Your Love (Center Point Premier Romance by Georgia Bockoven
My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I had read a lot of Georgia's books years ago and just came across this one that I had not read. I enjoyed it. It does a good job of showing true love.
I really was surprised in a few spots and that always makes for a great book.

Tidewater Inn (Hope Beach, #1)Tidewater Inn by Colleen Coble
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Loved that Sampson was back and played a big part (Rock harbor series). The rest kept my interest for the most part but a few things I am still shaking my head about.

Libby learns a lot of lessons in this book - what the term family really means, love, when to (if ever) give up.
The inn is a place I would love to go visit and spend a weekend- great detail to make me fall in love with.

Goodreads writes:

Inheriting a beautiful old hotel on the seaward shore of Hope Island could be a dream come true for Libby. The inn cries out for her restorer's talent and love of history. She's delighted to learn of family she never knew she had. And the handsome Coast Guard lieutenant she's met there on the island could definitely be the man of her dreams.
