Review: A Will, A Way and A Wedding by Melody Carlson

Hello Fellow Readers:)

I hope everyone is having a great week, and is getting ready for the weekend.

 I haven't been featuring too many reviews on my blog lately, and sorry to say, that's mainly because I haven't actually read that many books in the last couple of weeks, with vacation and whatnot.

However, a couple of days ago I did have the opportunity to finish a book that was a highly anticipated read for me, and I'm excited to be reviewing it on my blog here today.

As I'm sure you can already tell from the post title, that book is: A Will, A Way, and A Wedding by Melody Carlson.

Publisher: Whitefire Publishing


Synopsis:

As Daphne begins making reluctant plans to let Aunt Dee's house and life go and pick up the pieces of her fractured life, the guy she's been dreaming about begins to change his tune. Of course, another huge obstacle pops up at about the same time, threatening to ruin what might finally be true love. Meanwhile, she continues writing the advice column, learning more about love and commitment than she ever thought possible. But will she cinch the deal in time?


Review:

I had mentioned many times previously on my blog, just how much I enjoyed the first three novels in the Dear Daphne series, and I couldn't wait to jump into this one, and see how Melody Carlson chose to wrap up this sweet, heartwarming series about a New York reporter who returns home to follow the unexpected terms of her late great aunt's will, and meets a quirky cast of characters along the way that help her fall even more in love with her hometown.

I was curious as to how the author would choose to conclude this series. If we would see Daphne find her happily ever after, in time to inherit her aunt's estate, or if she would learn that God had a different plan for her life. I definitely don't want to spoil the ending for anyone, but I can honestly say that I was left feeling completely satisfied with how everything was wrapped up, not just Daphne's story, but also those of Jake, Ricardo, Sabrina, Mick, and the various other characters I'd come to love during the course of reading this series.

As a reader, I really enjoyed watching Daphne learn to trust God for her life and happiness, even if she wasn't necessarily getting the answers she wanted. 

In conclusion, I thought this was a beautiful wrap up to this amazing inspirational series, and it definitely lived up to my expectations. I gave this book four out of five stars, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet, contemporary inspirational series. I've come to expect great things when I pick up a Melody Carlson book, and this one definitely didn't disappoint!



Thanks so much for reading guys! I definitely hope to have more reviews coming soon, and to also be back to my regular updating schedule shortly.

Hope you all have a great weekend :)

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. If you'd like to check out that review, you can do so using the link below: Bless Your Heart Rae Sutton Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review. De...

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...

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Characters I'd name a child/cat/dog/car/ etc After.

Happy Tuesday guys! I enjoyed Top Ten Tuesday so much last week, that I decided to go ahead and take part again this week. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and The Bookish, and here's the link to the main page if you're interested in becoming a part of it: http://www.brokeandbookish.com/p/top-ten-tuesday-other-features.html Today's topic is: Ten Characters I'd Name A Child/Cat/Dog/Car/ etc After, and I think it's going to be a really fun one. First, Characters I'd Name a Pet after: 1) Katsa from Kristin Cashore's Graceling: I have to start with Katsa, since it is actually what we named our adorable black and white kitten almost a year ago. She's grown so much since this picture, but this was taken right after we decided on her name. We tried several different book characters, but Katsa is the one she loved right away, and so is what we ended up going with. 2) Rose from Richelle Mead's Vampire Academ...
