Love, Lies and Lullabies by D.E. Malone Review

Happy Monday Friends :)

I hope you all had a great weekend, and I want to thank you for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.

I truly adore sweet, clean romances, and I love how many more of these books are appearing on the market, especially from Indie or Self Published authors.

One of my favorite authors within this genre is D.E. Malone, and I always look

forward to getting to read her new book releases.

You can check out my reviews of the first two books in the series below:

Love, Lies and Mistletoe

Now let's jump right into today's review.

Love, Lies and Lullabies by D.E. Malone:

Source: Complimentary Copy Provided by the Author

Publication Date: April 29th, 2021

Genre: Sweet Romance

Series: Blueberry Point Romance

Synopsis:

A class reunion. An unrequited love. And the small-town roots that never let go of the heart.

When big-city accountant Wynne Terry dreamed of her future, it looked like the one she’s living. Then an invitation to her high school reunion lands in her mailbox and curiosity beckons her to return for the first time in fifteen years. It has nothing to do with seeing her childhood best friend who unwittingly stole her heart. At least, that’s what Wynne tells herself.

Chase Ford’s regrets come back to haunt him when Wynne walks into his life again. Marrying the first girl who turned his head in high school was mistake number one. Turning his back on Wynne when she needed him most was another. If it’s forgiveness he’s looking for, Wynne may give it to him. But raising his daughter and keeping the ever-elusive Wynne from turning his loveless life upside down take precedence over pleasing his conscience.

When Wynne discovers there’s more to Chase’s story than she bargained for, she wonders if her heart can stand being broken again. But maybe a once-in-a-lifetime love is worth the risk.

Revisit the Blueberry Point series and find out why readers love these sweet, light-hearted romances.

My Review:

D.E. Malone is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite sweet romance authors, and I adored how well she tackles the friends to something more trope in her newest release, Love, Lies and Lullabies.

This heartwarming story could be partly considered a second chance romance, but, from a different angle since the two main characters were only friends as teenagers and never anything more. I personally loved the way that this book combined so many of my favorite romance elements. You have two characters who were best friends throughout high school, but circumstances drove them apart. You have an unrequited love. You have a second chance at romance through a high school reunion, and most of all, you have a beautiful friends to something more romance.

Chase and Wynne's story is truly beautiful, and I loved how authentic and intimate it comes across to the reader. I love when a talented author like D.E. Malone can write a complex and heartwarming romance while keeping the content completely clean as to me that speaks volumes as to just how talented she is as an author, and that she truly develops her romances and doesn't just rely on chemistry or lust to drag the story along.

As always, I loved another visit to the Blueberry Point Inn, and with how charming and quaint this inn is always described, I'd truly love it if it existed to stay at in real life.

Overall, the third book in the Blueberry Point Romance series was everything I could have possibly hoped for, and I truly think it's my favorite so far in the series. I can't possibly recommend this one enough, and although these books can definitely be read as stand alones, since they're all fantastic you should definitely go ahead and read the entire series!

Final Rating: 5/5.

Thanks so much to D.E. Malone for allowing me to advance read and review this!

I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

Announcing My Temporary Hiatus From Book Blogging

Hello all my sweet bookish lovelies :) I pray you all had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to having a wonderful New Year's as well. I've shared a little bit of info over the past few months on my blog about why I wasn't around as often, but now it's time to share with you all exactly what that is. My hubby and I found out we were expecting earlier this year, and we had the immense pleasure of welcoming our precious baby boy into the world this month. Because of this, I've decided to take a temporary step back from book blogging and reviewing, while I adjust to being a first time mom to a newborn. I will definitely be back blogging in some form or another, but not sure at this point exactly when that will be as my little man deserves all of his mommy's attention right now. I thank you guys all for being a part of another wonderful year here on The Preppy Book Princess, and I look forward to jumping back into the Christian book community sometime in ...

A Refuge in Montana by Allie Pleiter Review

Happy Monday My Sweet Bookish Friends :) It's been awhile, how have you all been doing? Originally, I had hoped to be back doing at least semi regular book reviews by now, and since I had an author offer me an ARC copy right around when I wanted to start trying again, I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some health complications post partum (which I really don't want to go into at the moment), and my energy is just not where it needs to be at this point. I'm excited to get to share this review with you all as I did enjoy the title and would love to tell you more about it, but this will be my only review for awhile, at least until we can get everything figured out with my health. With that being said, let's dive right into today's review, but first if you'd like to check out my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below: Rescue on the Farm A Montana Sized Secret Otherwise, keep on read...
