After The Tide by Lindsay Harrel Review

Good Morning Everyone :)

I hope you're all having a great week so far, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.

For today's post, I'm featuring a novella by one of my favorite authors, Lindsay Harrel. This particular novella was free for her newsletter subscribers, and I highly recommend checking it out if you get the chance.

After the Tide by Lindsay Harrel:

Source: Free with author's newsletter

Publication Date: 2019

Genre: Christian Fiction

Synopsis:

Project manager Elizabeth Wildman is all about careful planning and predictability. That's why she can't understand how she managed to get herself stuck on a tidal island in Scotland the night before her cousin's wedding. She'll have to rely on a handsome Scottish fisherman to help her get back—and maybe learn something about herself along the way.

My Review:

If I'm being completely honest, I'd probably read Lindsay Harrel's grocery list if she ever chose to publish it. Her books are always heart warming and heart wrenching, and I can never put them down once I start them. So when I heard that she had a new novella that was free for her newsletter subscribers, I literally squealed, and couldn't wait to start reading it.

After the Tide may be a short story, but it's classic Lindsay Harrel, and is full of feel good moments, heart wrenching moments, and a romance you can't help but root for. I gobbled this story up in one sitting, and loved every precious moment that's included in Elizabeth and Callum's story. It's primary focus is on a chance encounter between two strangers, and following your heart even when it may be scary to do so.

While I'm not usually ever a fan of insta-love, I really enjoyed the way that this one is written with a hint of something more to come between the two main characters, and I enjoyed where the author chose to take the story.

I honestly think this could have been a full length novel and it still would have had me wanting more!

I loved it to bits and pieces, and can't recommend it enough. And it's a bonus in that it'll tie us all over until Lindsay's next book release!

Final Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

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...

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...
