Seashells and Murder by H.Y. Hanna

   I get a little jealous when reading this series. Ellie is having a great time in Florida, sampling new foods, spending time at the pool and beach, meeting new people, and solving another murder.  Maybe I will skip the murder part, but I would love to visit the resort she is staying at.      Ellie finds herself caught up in another murder when she is asked to be a second judge in a Key Lime Pie contest.  She soon finds herself going around the resort trying to find out who had a reason to kill the main judge.  I loved the scene where Mojito helped her figure out how to get in the kitchen and of course Hemingway plays a big part too.  Looking forward to book three.

Kickbacks, Kayaks, and Kidnapping: A Camper and Criminals by Tonya Kappes

     I love the goings on at the Happy Trails Campground in Normal, Kentucky.  Mae is doing a great job a the campground.  She is getting events held there and people love staying there.  During a competitions that will lead to the Olympics,  a person is found dead.  This cancels out the great reviews that the campground has been getting.  Now Mae and her Laundry Club Ladies need to get to work to get everything back to "Normal"  I love Mae and her Ladies and all the craziness they get into trying to make it all work out ok.

Flip-Flops and Murder by H.Y. Hanna

     I enjoyed this new series and wanted to join Ellie at the resort.  It seems like a pretty nice place to visit excluding the murder of course.  Ellie hits the jackpot with a ticket to Florida to stay with her aunt at a nice beach resort and she jumps at the chance to leave England to join her.  When she gets there she meets all kinds of people, but not her aunt and one of them winds up dead shortly afterwards.       Ellie bungles some of her first choices of who did it and why, but soon it all comes together.  I look forward to seeing what happens next.      I received  a copy of the story to read, the review is mine. .

An Appalachian Summer by Ann H. Gabhart

     I really enjoyed this story as I enjoy reading books that give me an insight into history, but weave it in a story.  I cannot imagine what it must have been like for Piper to go against her parents and the life she was brought up in to become a volunteer courier for the Frontier Nurses.  She had to take on  a very different lifestyle, interact with different people, and even fall in love.  A great read.      I received a copy to read, the review is mine.

A Charming Deception: :A Cozy Paranormal Mystery by Tonya Kappes

     This was a a fun read.  As June is awaiting the birth of her baby she is having a time of it.  The baby is already making itself known before it is even here and June soon finds herself with much time on her hands as she needs to rest more before the baby arrives.  She soon finds herself busy though when she goes to a doctor's appointment and finds the receptionist dead.  She realizes that she just can't do nothing like she is supposed to and soon finds herself putting her brain to the test to find find out what happened.      I received a copy of the book the review is mine..

Don't Keep Silent by Elizabeth Goddard

    Don't Keep Silent is full of twists and turns and will keep you reading to see what will happen next.  Rae is determined at all costs to find her sister-in-law and won't stop at anything to find her.  I love the determination she has even though it means working with Lima McKade whom she has a history with.       Liam thinks he will be able to settle down, but soon finds himself interacting with Rae again as she finds herself in danger trying to follow the clues.      I received a copy of the book to read, the review is mine.

A Bride of Convenience by Jody Hedlund

     I really enjoyed this third book in the Bride Ship Series.  Each of the women have come over for a better life and Zoe is no different.  She has  big heart and a secondary plan of being able to reunite with her brother.  She soon finds herself married and not really sure about what she has gotten herself into.      The book is full of interesting events that are both fiction and and based on events of the time.      I received a book from the author, but did purchased the audiobook and enjoyed the narrator.  The review is mine.
