Summer Reading List + Updates

Howdy y'all! I did a bit of catching up on my summer reading list this week. Read 'em each in one sitting. :)

No Other Will Do by Karen Witemeyer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great romance by Karen Witemeyer! No Other Will Do contains a well-woven mystery, a strong, caring female lead, a hunky hero called upon to defend a women's colony. It'll keep you turning pages until its sigh-worthy ending. Definitely a book to add to your must-read list.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher. My review and thoughts are my own.


The Lady and the Mountain Call by Misty M. Beller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Lady and the Mountain Call is another great edition to Misty Beller's Mountain Dreams series. She kept you eagerly turning pages to the end with lots of twists and turns brought on by mountain struggles and an unpredictable dementia patient. A great read and a definite recommend.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. My thoughts are my own.
