This is a clean beautiful story of renewal, hope and love. My sincere thanks to St. Martin’s Press for my advanced copy which I voluntarily read and reviewed. A solid five star read friends!

The Wedding Ranch - Book Review

The Wedding Ranch by Nancy Naigle

Lorri Walker and her mastiff puppy named Mister are starting a new chapter in their lives. After an unsettling divorce, Lorri decides to move from the city to a small suburb in the country. She works from home, so this is the perfect place to begin her new life. Lorri is meeting friends and after being saved by a handsome stranger at the fair, things are really starting to look up. Lorri is not sure she is ready for a new relationship, but it is hard to resist Ryder Bolts charms. When a long-ago tragedy resurfaces, both Lorri and Ryder will have to make a choice to stay buried in the past alone or face the future together.

I adored this novel by Nancy Naigle. She is a fabulous writer and one of my favourite authors. She took a serious subject and wove it brilliantly into the story of second chances. I loved how the characters evolved throughout the story, teaching us about forgiveness and moving forward after sorrow. I would love to see a second book if this is going to be a series as there are quite a few characters that have their own story to share. Thank you to St. Martin’s Press who has gifted me a copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. A beautiful story and one adorable puppy friends.

Christmas in Evergreen - Book Review

 

Christmas in Evergreen, Tidings of Joy by Nancy Naigle

Katie Connell is on her way to Evergreen, Vermont to hopefully get some inspiration for her next novel. When she meets a resident of the town, Ben on the train, and then arrives in town, she expresses her doubt that the town can be as wonderful as it. The more she sees, the more doubtful she is. Can people really be this wonderful? Is this town only a great marketing ploy?

Ben suggests that Katie immerse herself in the town’s festivities following up to Christmas to prove to her that Evergreen is all about Christmas, family, friends, and love.  When Katie hears about a Christmas time capsule, she becomes intrigued. As she works to solve the mystery and gets to know the people in town, will Katie realize that this small town is exactly what it appears to be?

One of the attractions of the town is a treasured snow globe which is told to grant wishes. When the globe is broken, it helps Katie with the time capsule along with a possible love interest for one of the towns residents. There can never be too many love stories unfolding in this small town.

This was such a beautiful heartwarming Christmas story. I loved the character development and all the supporting characters in the book. The added mystery of a time capsule hidden in town added a fun little twist to the story. When I found out there were also three Hallmark movies that were based on the books, I quickly found those to watch as well. It was fun to watch the characters brought to life in a movie. The book can be read as a stand a lone novel, but as you fall in love with Evergreen you will want to read the entire series. Thank you so much to the author, Nancy Naigle, Hallmark Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was wonderful! All opinions expressed for this review are unbiased and entirely my own.
