Good Reads:

The historic hotel in BoonsBoro, Maryland, has endured war and peace, changing hands, even rumored haunting. Now it's getting a major facelift from the Montgomery brothers and their eccentric mother. As the architect of the family, Beckett's social life consists mostly of talking shop over pizza and beer. But there's another project he's got his eye on: the girl he's been waiting to kiss since he was fifteen...

Mine:
Once again she’s done it a series that leads to you wanting more.

I can hardly wait for the next installment of the wonderful Montgomery brothers and their new B&B (Boonsboro Inn). It’s amazing how they work together to put the old house together. They pay attention to every detail, it doesn’t hurt that they are carpenters, an architect, and great project manager. Beckett the oldest can communicate with the ghost of the house.

His other project is the girl from his childhood dreams that could barely talk to, but now can’t keep away from. They are actually a good fit. Her husband was a soldier and was killed in war; she came back to her hometown and opened a book store.

Am anxiously awaiting the next installment.

New Love takes the cake in the third novel in Nora Roberts's new Bride Quartet

Wedding baker Laurel McBane is surrounded by romance working at Vows wedding planning company with her best friends Parker, Emma, and Mac. But she's too low-key to appreciate all the luxuries that their clients seem to long for. What she does appreciate is a strong, intelligent man, a man just like Parker's older brother Delaney, on whom she's had a mega-crush since childhood.

But some infatuations last longer than others, and Laurel is convinced that the Ivy League lawyer is still out of her reach. Plus, Del is too protective of Laurel to ever cross the line with her-or so she thinks. When Laurel's quicksilver moods get the better of her-leading to an angry, hot, all-together mind-blowing kiss with Del-she'll have to quiet the doubts in her mind to turn a moment of passion into forever...

After years spent abroad, reporter Jason Law returned home determined to win back the girl he left behind. It would take all his skills- and then some – to win Faith back. But this time, nothing would stand in his way – it was time faith was rewarded.

All I Want for Christmas(1994)

All Gabriel Bradly wanted was solitude. But when Laura ended up at his remote cabin during a blizzard, desperate, alone and on the run, the modern-day Scrooge couldn’t turn her away. For she brought, him the gift of passion, life, hope..if he had the courage to reach for it.

As only Roberts can do she gathers you in and pulls at the heart strings to bring people together as they should be.
