A Wedding on Sunshine Corner

    In this blog post, I reviewed Phoebe Mills’s A Wedding on Sunshine Corner, the second installment in the Sunshine Corner contemporary romance series. This sweet love story would sweep you off your feet and give you all the feels. Savannah Lowe had always been a free spirit, moving from one interest to another in her hobby, trying to get her foot in the ground. Her parents and older brother had spoiled her in the past. But when her best friend Abby hired her to become a daycare teacher at Sunshine Corner, she wasn’t sure if she could put it off. A couple of times, she had run interference for one undisciplined child who caused trouble for her class. Then her older brother Caleb had wanted her to help plan his wedding with his best friend, Noah Adams. He had always ruffled her feathers and then some. He was the last person she would rather work with. Noah Adams couldn’t believe he would be working with his best friend’s baby sister, Savannah, who was such a spoiled princess. He’s a single divorced father who’s trying to make ends meet to care for his young five-old-daughter Rosie. And he’s trying to please everybody at the fire station as an EMT/paramedic with his flexible work schedule. When they worked together to give Caleb and Issa a perfect dream wedding, they’ve gotten to know each other better through teamwork. But after one tempted kiss, the chemistry they had was off the charts. Due to an unfortunate mishap and a glitch, they needed to realize they need each other and learn how to ask for help when they needed it the most.

This heartfelt contemporary romance was endearing and moving that tugged your heart’s strings. I cared for Savannah, who wanted to find her own way and be her own person. I also adored Noah who wanted to do right for Rosie, and also wanted to have  a great support system. They make an adorable couple who were made for each other. The location of Heart’s Hope Bay is picturesque for a small beach town in Southern California with majestic scenic settings. The dual themes of the story is love will find a way back to your hearts; and it’s never too late to ask for help.

This sweet contemporary romance will make your heart sigh and weep. I rated this book, five out of five stars for no reason. If you love heartfelt contemporary romances with non-stop drama, plenty of romantic action, and a dose of sweet humor, you’ll enjoy the Wedding on Sunshine Corner. This is recommended for fans of Hallmark Channel movies, and romance novels from Jill Shalvis, Kristan Higgins, and Kristen Callihan.

Shadow Sister

    In this blog post, I reviewed Lindsay Marcott’s Shadow Sister. This psychological thriller is dark as noir and twisted as they come to give you the chills. At age 14, Ava Holland’s mother had strangely died to an unusual death. She always believed her father had killed her mother. During her youth, her mother Christina had told a ghost story about a murdered girl named CInderella haunted their historical family mansion. Now, 17 years later, Ava wishes to return home to San Francisco and be reunited with her brother Jamie. When he met Sarah Davis, a rich widow, and later married her, things aren’t what they seem, when she moved into her life. Ava’s also reunited with her high school crush, Thomas Rainier, who works in architecture and construction. For Sarah Davis, she had found the perfect way to become a Holland, and that’s to seduce the object of her obsession, Jamie. But to keep the truth distorted from the lies, we flash back to what happened in 2006 for Didi Morrison, a housekeeper’s heavyset daughter, who everyone had treated cruelly. When Jamie gets into a car accident and is badly hurt, Sarah swoops into the family mansion and shakes things up for Ava as her sister-in-law. The closer to the truth she becomes to discover who Sarah or Didi is, it’s a battle of life and death for her and her breath in the end. 

This bone-chilling psychological thriller will make you stay up all night with the light on. I cared for Jamie and Ava, who had been blindsided and swindled by an evil person. All they wanted was truth for the answers, when things went bad from worse. It had set me on edge. The location of San Francisco California had dreary and compelling scenic settings to paint the scene. The theme of the story is if you have nothing else to say, don’t say it at all, since revenge is best served cold. 

This twisted thriller will give you goosebumps and chills all over. I rated this book, four out of five stars for no reason. If you love twisted psychological thrillers with non-stop action, plenty of dramatic suspense, and sharp surprises to keep you guessing, pick up a copy of Shadow Sister today. This book is recommended for fans of thriller novels, TV shows, and movies like You, Lisa Gardner, Erica Spindler, and Lisa Jewell.
