My Review:

Wooing the Widower was my first experience with a novel by Elle E Kay, and I ended up wholeheartedly enjoying this sweet romance that takes readers back for another visit to Redemption Ridge. This particular story is a little different than the others in that it features a romance between a (slightly) older couple, and I liked the originality that came along with this particular storyline.

Chaz and Margie have known each other for years, and more recently, they've become further connected when her daughter ended up marrying his son. At first glance, neither seems to see each other in a romantic light, but soon neither can deny the sparks that are beginning to fly whenever they find themselves together. However, with the connection they already share, is starting a relationship truly the best idea when the fall out could cause reverberating tensions amongst their families?

A sweet and heartfelt romance, Wooing the Widower gives readers a realistic tale about a couple that's brave enough to take a second chance at love while many obstacles stand in their way. With swoon worthy moments, suspenseful bits that keep the reader guessing, and a well thought out plot that revolves around an idyllic setting, this is the perfect book to pick up this holiday season for anyone who enjoys clean, faith based Christmas romances.

I applaud the author for keeping the faith element at the front and center, and I love the fact that she chose to include her personal testimony at the end of the book. This was another wonderful visit to Freedom Ridge, and I'd definitely recommend checking this one out.

Final Rating: 4/5.

Thanks so much to Elle E. Kay for allowing me to read and review this title!

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

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

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...
