A Spot of Grace - Book Review



⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Annie Thompson is starting over! Newly divorced, twin toddlers and living with her mom was not in her life plan. She is trying to make the best of it, but she is struggling. She would love to have a partner, but she has barely enough time to eat much less date.

Miles Coleman is a fire fighter and a single dad. His life is about to be turned upside down when he hears about a billboard is advertising, he is looking for love. That is the last thing on his mind.

When Annie needs help, Miles is up for the task. What they don’t count on is that maybe they are just what each other has been looking for.

This is just the sweetest novel written by Amelia Addler. The characters are written so well, I got drawn into the story from the very beginning. There are some twists and turns, a little mystery and a second chance at love. All the makings of a fabulous ending to the Spotted Cottage series. My thanks to Amelia Addler for my advanced copy which I read and reviewed voluntarily. A perfect spring read friends.

A Spot of Summer- Book Review


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mia soon finds herself embroiled in an investigation with a friend and starts spending time with Jacob Kowalski, the islands very eligible bachelor.

Spotted at Lighthouse Bay by Amelia Addler


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Adelaide is staying with her sister Sheila after her marriage and job ended. It is the perfect place to start the next chapter of her life. She spends her day sipping tea in the tea house, strolling the beach and just relaxing. Everything is peaceful until her mother and a bodyguard show up unannounced. Her mother is there after being scammed and is looking for her daughters to bail her out yet again. The body guard is saying he is there to protect her against a threat issued to her ex-husband. Adelaide is non too impressed with either new guest.

As Adelaide and Rick start to spend more time together, it gets harder to keep things professional between them. With her family around her, can Adelaide open her heart again? Can Rick face his demons and still protect Adelaide?

Amelia Addler brings us another amazing novel filled with family, friends and an unfolding mystery. As this is the fourth book in the Spotted Cottage series, we get to meet new characters but also get to see what characters from the previous books are up to. Although it is a series, you could easily read this as a stand alone novel as Amelia does an amazing job filling in the back story. I loved the romance between Adelaide and Rick and it was nice to have a mid life couple fall in love. My sincere thanks to Amelia Addler for my advanced readers copy which I voluntarily read and reviewed. Come join the group for tea at the Spotted Cottage this spring.

A Spot at Starlight Beach book review

Mackenzie Dennet has come home to San Juan Island after losing her job and her boyfriend. She is down in the dumps and is not sure where she goes from here. When she gets the offer to help her family in their cause to relocate a captured whale, she begrudgingly takes it. How hard can it be? The difficult part comes when first she is approached by smooth talker Cameron to come work for him, and secondly when she meets Liam, a quiet artist who is staying on the island. She has no time for a relationship so she tries to ignore them both. Can she focus on Lottie the whale and put these two men aside?

This third book in the Spotted Cottage series by Amelia Addler is another fabulous read. We have our old friends from the first two books to catch up with, and also some new characters that add an interesting twist to the story. I was hooked by the end of page one, and could not put the book down. In Amelia’s style of romance and mystery, the story is brilliantly written and I can not wait to see what happens next. My thanks to Amelia Addler for my advanced readers copy which I voluntarily read and reviewed. Come to the San Juan islands and lose yourself in this amazing series.




Amelia Addler writes always sweet, always swoon-worthy romance and women's fiction stories and believes that everyone deserves their own happily ever after. Her soulmate is a man who once spent five weeks driving her to work at 4AM after her car broke down (and he didn’t complain, not even once). She is lucky enough to be married to that man and they live in Pittsburgh with their little yellow mutt.

A Spot of Tea - Book Review


Second Book in the Spotted Cottage Series

Eliza Dennet likes a quiet life and does not like to be in the spotlight. She is happy working in her grandmother’s tea shop creating new scrumptious goodies to go with the tea. One day she heads to the bank and stops to help a stranger in a wheelchair. That stranger then turns Eliza whole life upside down when she becomes the laughingstock of the town. She has nowhere to hide and is getting tired of the comments. Her grandmother has had enough and encourages the new sea pilot in town Joey to run interference. What ensues is a race against time to gather clues and solve the town’s mystery. As the sparks fly between Eliza and Joey, is there more to this sea pilot story than he is letting on?

What a fabulous second book in the Spotted Cottage series by Amelia Addler. The story blends a new love, a mystery and family coming together beautifully. I loved catching up with previous characters and was delighted to read Elizas story as she gathers clues with Joey to solve the crime. It was a refreshing summer read. This has been such a wonderful series and I can not wait to see what is next from Ms. Addler. My sincere thanks to Amelia Addler for my advanced readers copy that I voluntarily read and reviewed. Stop by the Spotted Cottage to meet the sweet characters at the tea shop.

When Sheila loses her job, and her husband, on a whim she travels to visit her ex-mother-in-law Patty who lives by the sea and runs a little tea shop. When Sheila arrives, she is surprised by the state of the unkept tea house which has now been shut down. Not only that but her ex-husband wants to move his mother to an old age home close to where he lives. Sheila knowing Patty does not want to move, offers to stay and help her around the house and convinces her to reopen the tea shop. When Patty tells her the neighbour has offered to purchase her land, Sheila stomps right over to his house to tell him it is no longer for sale. That’s when she meets the movie star Russell Westwood who seems to have made himself right at home in the small sea side town. What will happen when Sheila and her daughter Eliza take the reins to reinvent the tea house? How does Russell fit into their plans and their new lives?

This new novel by Amelia Addler was full of family, friendship, and new beginnings. I loved that Sheila was entering middle age and was an empty nester. Love can enter our lives at any age, and it was refreshing to see a mid life romance blossom. I also enjoyed the family dynamics especially the fun spirited Patty. I adored this novel about new beginnings and love how Ms. Addler told the story even including a little plot twist that includes a whale! My sincere thanks to Amelia Addler for my advanced copy which I read and reviewed voluntarily. A perfect spring novel.

Sunset Serenade - Book Review




Rose is at a crossroads. After losing her job and her boyfriend, she is home on Orcas Island and is struggling on what to do with her life. She loves being on the island with her family, but the jobs she is qualified for are all in the big cities. When Rose finally gets an interview, she is excited that her life might just get back on track. What she does not count on is a mix up when she arrives at the interview, a case of mistaken identity and a job offer she just can not say no to. Things get much more complicated when she starts having feelings for her new boss and knows she has to come clean that she is not the person he believes she is. Can Rose risk it all for love or will she lose out on her chance at happiness?

Amelia Addler brings the conclusion to the Orcas Island series to a close with this amazing tale of Rose and Craig. I loved Rose’s character, a shy, not so confident woman starting a new chapter in her life. It was so fun to watch her come out of her shell and realize just how special she really is. Team her with Craig, a man not knowing what his future holds and is looking for his next adventure. Together they were funny, sweet and endearing. I loved each of the sisters’ stories in the series and I can not wait to see what Ms. Addler comes out with next. My sincere thanks to Amelia Addler for the advanced readers copy which I read and reviewed voluntarily. If you are looking for a heart warming series with some fun twists, curl up with the gals on Orcas island.

The Love Payoff Book Review




Suzanna (Anna) Makowski is a professor of engineering and loves her life and her big, loud Polish family, but Anna has two problems. One, her family is always trying to find her husband and their choices are not that desirable, and two, Anna is also trying to help her brother out of a difficult situation which landed him in jail. Well, the answer to both her problems came when a new professor approaches her and asks her to be his pretend fiancé, and guess what? His offer is exactly what Anna needs to bail her brother out of jail. This would not only get her family off her back, but it would help her brother. Can she really say no?

When Anna agrees to be Leo’s fake fiancé, things start to heat up. Trying to convince her family she is in love is going to be dicey. Also, Leo has not told her why he needs a fake fiancé. Can Anna and Leo pull of this charade and fool everyone?

Amelia Addler, one of my all-time favourite authors has done it again. This novel is full of family, laughs and antics while it pulls at your heart strings. The main characters, Anna and Leo are fabulous, but just wait until you meet Anna’s family. They bring such enjoyment to the story. I also loved it as my father’s family was Polish so I could relate to the traditions and values they hold dear. Thank you so much to Amelia Addler for my advanced copy that I voluntarily read and reviewed. A solid five stars my friends.

Sunset Weddings Book Review




After breaking up with her boyfriend, Lillian is back home on Orcas Island and is ready to begin a new chapter in her life. When her sister Lucy volunteers her to be a tour guide to a new documentary series being shot on the island, Lillian is not quite sure what she has gotten herself into, especially when she sees the star of the show, her high school Ex-boyfriend Dustin. She broke up with him and left him high and dry and has regretted it ever since. Maybe now they can mend fences and become friends again. Things seem to be moving along nicely until her Ex-boyfriend shows up on the island proclaiming his undying love for her, Lucy and Lillian uncover some shady dealings regarding the documentary, and Lillian is arrested. Will she get her second chance with Dustin or will she end up behind bars?

Author Amelia Addler beautifully winds a second chance romance and a mystery all in the pages of this fourth novel in her Orcas Island series. I loved Lillian’s and Dustin’s story. The antics of the Ex-boyfriend and her sister Lucy had me in a fit of giggles more than once. It was also a treat to get to visit the characters from the previous books. You could read this as a stand a lone novel as Ms. Addler does provide some back story, but trust me, you will want to read the whole series. My sincere thanks to Amelia Addler for my advanced copy which I voluntarily read and reviewed.

Sunset Tides - Book Review




Lucy Woodley is restless. She is used to jumping from job to job and her current job at a local farm is becoming routine and just a little boring. Just as she is ready to quit and move on, she finds out the farm is in financial trouble, and this gives Lucy just what she needs to feel useful again. When she takes on executive Rob Collidge who is trying to take over the farm for the land, she gets more than she bargains for. Just as she thinks she has won the battle, she finds herself embroiled in yet another takeover, and this one is personal. Mr. Rob Coolidge has no idea what he has just done and Lucy vows to take him and his company down. There is only one problem. The more time Lucy spends with Rob, the more she starts to like him. Can they separate business and pleasure?

Author Amelia Addler takes us on another journey on Orcas Island with this third book in the series. It was fun to read Lucy and Robs story. The two characters connect yet frustrate each other and they are so witty that I found myself giggling at their antics. It was also fun to revisit characters from the previous novels and see where life has taken them. This is a heartwarming series with some twists and turns which kept me turning pages and not wanting the stories to end. Thank you so much Amelia Addler for an advanced copy, which I read and reviewed voluntarily. Come visit Orcas Island and share in the journey.

The Summer Request - Book Review



Three friends on a journey they won’t soon forget

When Justine Emerald passes away suddenly, her three friends, Valerie, Michelle and Lisa gather to say their goodbyes. They soon find out that Justine had a request for them in her will, and that was that the three of them embark on a holiday together to all of Justine’s favourite places.

As the friends leave on their journey, they start to question how Justine died and vow to find whoever is responsible. As they become more suspicious of Justine’s ex-husband, they start trying to gather information in the places they visit. Throughout their trek across the country and back, the three women also realize they are on a journey of self discovery. Each woman must face her inner self and do some deep soul work. As they begin to find the answers they are searching for, their personal lives and friendship is on the line. Will their friendship survive the trip?

Amelia Addler has brought us a fabulous stand alone novel with the Summer Request. I loved the depth of the characters and how she gave us four unique and complex women. I found a commonality with each of the characters and enjoyed each of their stories. The story had emotional moments but also gave us moments of laughter while the friends were sleuthing throughout the novel. A huge thanks to Amelia Addler for the gift of the book. I voluntarily read and reviewed the book and friends this is one you want to tuck into your book bag this summer.

Sunset Secrets - Book Review



Marty is loving his new life living on Orcas Island after finding his family and being cleared by the FBI of all charges. There is only one thing now that Marty must deal with. He has been getting messages and letters from an anonymous person, and he is trying desperately to figure it out. Sure, he became somewhat famous after his debacle with the FBI and received fan mail, but this is different. While Marty is trying to solve the mystery, he also meets a new friend named Emma, who piques his interest in a different way. Can Marty find the mysterious person responsible for the letters? Will Marty find love, or will he be in the friend zone with Emma?

Emma has come to Orcas Island for a fresh start. Newly divorced and with her health concerns taken care of it is time to start a new life. Emma is not interested in love or even a relationship, all she wants is her cat back from her ex-husband who is playing games with Emma. When she meets Marty who vows to help reunite her with her cat, she starts questioning whether she can be in another relationship and risk getting hurt again. Can Emma trust Marty with her heart?

I loved Sunset Cove, the first book in the Orcas Islandseries by Amelia Addler, so I was so excited to start Sunset Secrets and was not disappointed. The characters are so well written that I was drawn right into the story of Marty and Emma. I really enjoyed getting to know more about Marty and loved the added bonus of the mysterious letters. It was also fun to visit the other characters we were introduced to in the first book and some cameo appearances from characters from the Westcott Bay series. I adore AmeliaAddlers writing style, her characters and the interesting twists to her novels. She is one of my favourite authors and I am already excited about the next book in the series. Thank you so much to Amelia Addler for the advanced readers copy that I voluntarily read and reviewed. A solid five star plus read my friends.

Sunset Cove - Book Review




Claire Cook has taken a huge risk and bought a hotel on Orcas Island after a distant uncle named her the sole heir of his fortune. Claire has spent her life raising her three nieces and now feels it is her chance to do something she has always dreamt of. What she does not count on is that the hotel is in financial trouble and the FBI is knocking on her door asking questions about someone she swears she does not know. Can Claire trust her hotel manager with her secret and with her heart?

Chip Douglas feels slighted that the hotel sold and now he has a new boss to deal with. When he meets her, she is not at all what he expected. When things start to get dicey at the hotel with the FBI on their doorstep, will Chip trust Claire or will he turn them all in?

What a great start to the new Orcas Island series by Amelia Addler. We get to see a few of our old friends from the Westcott Bay series, which I absolutely loved, and we also get introduced to Margie’s three daughters which I am hoping their stories bring them home to Orcas Island too. I thoroughly enjoy how Ms. Addler brings a hint of mystery into her novels, as it is always leaves us guessing what is going to happen and adds such an interesting twist to the story. I also love how the characters evolve throughout the series, and their relationships are not rushed into one book. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next on Orcas Island. Thank you so much Amelia for the advanced readers copy of the book to read and review. A solid five stars!

When he runs into Lynn, also a retired agent, life starts taking a interesting twist in his personal life, but also in his quest to crack the case.

AmeliaAddler has brought this series to and end with a nail-biting conclusion as we finally get to be a part of the elusive Mike whom we have been hearing and getting to read snippets about since the beginning. I loved catching up with Margie and her family and will definitely miss them, that is until I heard that another series is in the making and we might still get to visit them from time to time. This has been one of my all-time favourite book series and I look forward to what Ms. Addler has in store next for her readers. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I was gifted and would like to thank the author AmeliaAddler. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Saltwater Memories - Book Review



Amanda is now living in Westcott Bay, commuting to the city to work when she needs to. She needed a fresh start after breaking up with her boyfriend. Life is good, she loves living by her family and has no idea that when she accidently meets a man, her life is about to change.

Will is ambitious and is willing to do anything to keep his new job. He is managing properties for some high-profile clients and is moving to Westcott Bay. What he does not know is just who those clients are and how it will impact his life. When he runs into a feisty woman, he also has no idea what is coming.

This novel by Amelia Addler has it all. Romance, suspense, humor, all set in a beautiful small town. The story is light, yet the element of a mystery is an added bonus. I have enjoyed this series and was excited to read Amanda’s story along with catching up with the other characters from previous novels. If you are reading this as a stand alone novel, Amelia does an excellent job of catching you up on the backstory from previous books, but trust me, you will want to read the whole series. I am already excited about the next story! My thanks to Amelia Addler for an advanced reader copy and all opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Saltwater Falls - Book Review



Amelia Addler takes us back to San Juan Island to see what our favourite family is up to.

Conner has returned home to Westcott Bay to help his mother after her moped accident. Along with his sisters, he is determined to aid in her recovery. He is also debating what he should do with his life. He has been a nomad, roaming the world experiencing one adventure after another, but now maybe it is time to put that life behind him and be more responsible. He is contemplating his life while working at a local hotel when he meets someone who just might be the one to help him make his choice that much easier.

Teresa on San Juan Island as a location scout for a local movie. This is her one chance to prove to her family that she can make it in the film industry. If this does not work, she is expected to return home and follow her family’s footsteps and become a lawyer. When Teresa stands up for a handsome waiter at the hotel she is staying at, her life is about to change in ways she did not expect.

In this novel we have family, community, love and a little mystery all wrapped into one brilliant story by Amelia Addler. The characters are so well written, and I love how all the members of the family are in the story as well. It is wonderful to see how they are all developing throughout the series. There is even a surprise character that shows up who I hope to read more about in a future book. As I finished this one, I am already anticipating the next. This is one series you are going to want to dive into! A huge thank you to the author Amelia Addler for an Arc of the book to read and review. All my opinions are my own and unbiased.

Saltwater Crossing - Book Review

Saltwater Crossing by Amelia Addler

 
 Tiffany has moved to San Juan Island after quitting her job and losing her best friend. She is keeping busy while she figures out her life helping her sister Jade on a parks project. All they need is to secure the funding and they are on their way. When they are notified that the Parks Department is having money issues, they decide to investigate the matter as something sketchy has got to be going on. Tiffany also is stuck working with the developer and their bid to build the park much to her dismay. Why would she want to work with an arrogant, trust fund baby who was spoon fed while attending private schools and yachting around the world?

Sydney Burke has been working for his uncle’s development company mostly keeping an eye on his cousin and his projects. He is fine doing that as his uncle has always looked after Sydney while he was growing up in a less than ideal household with an alcoholic father. People think he grew up privileged and he has never corrected them so he could fit in with his peers. When he is told he must work with the uptight, arrogant sister of Jade’s, he is less than impressed. All he needs to do is keep the peace so that they can secure the parks project to open a new branch of their company. How hard can it be?

Tiffany and Sydney butt heads and hearts throughout the story as the mystery unravels of the missing funds. Can they learn to trust each other and open their hearts to a second chance at love?

Amelia Addler has another hit on her hands with this fourth book in the Westcott Bay series. The characters were brilliantly written, and I loved how there was a little mystery thrown in. We also get to catch up with past characters and what is happening in their lives, which I loved. I was drawn right into the story from the first page and enjoyed this novel immensely. In the epilogue we even get a little sneak peek of who the next novel might be about. I can hardly wait! A huge thank you so much to the author Ameila Addler for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was fabulous! All opinions expressed for this review are unbiased and entirely my own.

 

Amelia Addler writes always sweet, always swoon-worthy romance and women's fiction stories and believes that everyone deserves their own happily ever after. Her soulmate is a man who once spent five weeks driving her to work at 4AM after her car broke down (and he didn't complain, not even once). She is lucky enough to be married to that man and they live in Pittsburgh with their little yellow mutt.

Christmas at Saltwater Cove - Book Review

 

Christmas at Saltwater Cove by Amelia Addler

Sandy Randall is fifty-three year old woman who works as a pediatric surgeon. She is coming to Westcott Bay to see her sister for a much-needed rest over Christmas. After a divorce years ago, she is not looking for love, she just wants to rest and restore. On her first day in town, she runs into an old high school flame, Jack, and as they rekindle their friendship, she is starting to think that maybe she can love again.

Jack Pappas has just sold his restaurant and is in Westcott Bay to help Sandy’s sister Margie with a Christmas event at her farm. He is overjoyed to see Sandy again, and his feelings from way back when start to surface. Could this be his chance be with the woman he fell in love with all those years ago?

At the urging of Margie, Sandy and Jack start spending more and more time together. They are both questioning what the future holds and if their past romance can be reignited. Add in a little medical mystery, some mistletoe and maybe the New Year will start off with a new love for Sandy and Jack.

Amelia Addler has another hit on her hands with this short but sweet novella. It was great to catch up with previous characters from the series and see a new love blossom. I love this series, and this book was definitely an early Christmas gift to Amelia’s readers. It can be read as a stand a lone novel, but trust me, you are going to want to read the whole series. Thank you so much to Amelia Addler for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was fabulous! All opinions expressed for this review are unbiased and entirely my own.

Saltwater Secrets - Book Review

 

 Saltwater Secrets by Amelia Addler

Book 3 in the Westcott Bay Series

 Jade Clifton is trying to put her life back together after a divorce and is now living back home in Westcott Bay. She is looking for her new normal as a single woman, so she decides to get to know more people in her community and takes on a project to save a piece of land donated to the town. What she does not plan on is that someone is trying to stop her at all costs. The only plus side is that the new handsome deputy Matthew Stevens is on the case.

Matthew Stevens is the new Sheriff’s deputy in town, and he takes his job very seriously. When threats are made against Jade, he vows to protect her at all costs. Even when he is not on duty, he watches out for Jade, but that’s just part of the job right?

Jade and Matthew are friends, and both are harboring feelings for the other, but the timing just does not seem to work in their favor. Will these two be able to solve the crime and come clean with their feelings before it is too late?

Another brilliant novel by Amelia Addler. I love how the books in the series focus on one set of characters but also involve past characters from the previous novels. It is like coming home again. I adored the story, the characters, and the added touch of mystery. I did read the series in order, but Amelia does write a little introduction to the book with a synopsis of what has happened so far if you are reading it as a stand a lone novel which is very helpful. I give this series 5 out of 5 stars and I cannot wait for the next book to be released in the fall.
