Summer Street Book Review

Summer Street by Jan Moran

Crown Island Book 5

For years Jo’s worked hard at her coffee shop Cuppa Jo’s. She wants to take care of her brother and grandmother, so none of them have to worry again. Jo also has another idea to take her coffee to a new level and with the help of her friends, it has now become a reality. Jo loves her business, her family and friends, but she does want to be married and have a family of her own. She thought Blue who has been her boyfriend for almost a decade was getting ready to propose on their vacation, but that plan went sideways when he had to return to his family.

While Jo’s new coffee venture is getting started, she meets Rocky, who is more than happy to help her get her project planned and released. With Blue deciding on his future and his family, Jo has her own decisions to make. Should she wait and see if Blue finally comes through or should she forge a new path both in business and her personal life?

Once again Jan Moran brings us a tale of a family, friends and love. The characters are all so well written and it was nice to see past characters reappear in this novel. Jo is so lovable and I was cheering her on from the first chapter. The love triangle kept me guessing right until the end! The book was fabulous and my thanks to Jan Moran for my advanced readers copy which I voluntarily read and reviewed. This is definitely a book you want at the top of your summer reading list friends.

The Bristlecone Writers' Group - Book Review

The Bristlecone Writers' Group

by Lisa Williams Kline

⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Bristlecone retirement community is anything but boring. Just ask the members of the writing group. When a member suddenly dies, their world gets even more interesting. With only a single piece of paper with a list of books to give them a clue, they soon get involved in something much bigger than they could imagine. They start uncovering secrets and stories which lead the group to even more questions. What will happen when it’s all revealed?

This was such a fun read by Lisa Williams. The characters were very likeable and had complex lives which intertwined with the main story. Each chapter highlighted one persons life and I liked reading more in-depth about each character. I also liked how the book focused on an older age group. My thanks to the author Lisa Williams, Harpeth Road Press and Netgalley for my advanced copy which I voluntarily read and reviewed. It was a pure delight.

She does not think she needs to go, she does not have any unresolved issues, does she? Well maybe a few, namely she has no friends, she has closed herself off to the world and she lives with all her past regrets. Maybe if she does this program, she can get her promotion and meet the requirements of her inheritance from her mother and she can then buy back her grandmothers house where she now lives as a renter. When Lorna befriends her handsome neighbour and his eight-year-old son, she has no idea how much they can help her move forward from her past.

Julia London is one of my favourite authors and an amazing writer so I was so excited to read the novel. It was fabulous. The characters and supporting characters were enjoyable and I especially loved the relationship between Lorna and Bean, the little boy. I also liked how we got to dive into Lorna’s issues along side of her and watch her face her past and plan her future. The novel had tough issues, lots of laughs and a great romance. My thanks to Harper Muse, Julia London and Netgalley for my advanced readers copy which I voluntarily read and reviewed. Easily a solid five star read.

Thank you so much for stopping by the farmhouse. Lynn
