Road to Paradise by Kelly Fletcher

Road to Paradise by Kelly Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a beautiful book, I picked it up because it was a small town romance. It started off as a typical ambitious heroine stepping into a small town to take over the company and then fall in love with the place story, but what bumped me over were the characters.
We have read books where the corporate heroine falls in love with the country side cow boy or a macho farmer, but the family she interacts with is a delicate bunch, which demands that life has to slow down.
We take so much for granted in our fast paced life, but if we are to live with certain neurodivergent conditions or health issues, life will have to slow down for the family. But will an outsider make the sacrifice? Would she able to understand the situation and take on the challenges?
This is such a beautiful story full of meaning and hope. I really would recommend this book.

I am a fan of mysteries and I love historic mysteries especially because the means of doing and solving the crime are a lot more logical than scientific. I did not read the first installment, so the characters were all established, but we jump straight to action.
Philip’s sister finds a man murdered outside the shop she works at. She approaches her brother to solve the crime. Virginia west wants to return the favor to Philip Brown by assisting him to solve the murder. Together they embark on a perilous journey. As they unveil one mystery, they find more and more danger lurking round the corner. Can they solve the mystery and escape unscathed? It is a very captivating read and I enjoyed every bit of it.

The Moon Gift: A Moon Festival Tale by Anders Roseberg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a very delightful book which teaches kids about the value of compassion, empathy and selflessness. It is a Chinese folktale narrated with beautiful illustrations. A mysterious Jade emperor sends four animals on a mission, and when they are presented with the challenge, each animal goes far and above to display kindness to a stranger. But one makes the ultimate sacrifice. It’s a lovely book about giving, and it also gives an insight into Chinese culture and the Mid-Autumn festival. I really enjoyed it.

Mouse Visits Joshua Tree National Park by Tricia Gardella

Mouse Visits Joshua Tree National Park by Tricia Gardella
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such an adorable book. I picked it up because of the title. Our family loves visiting national parks , we have not been to the Joshua national park yet , so it was a very nice easy tour for us. The pictures are so endearing and cute, the little adventure comes live in action before our eyes. There is also an educational tour about the flora and fauna found in the park and the landscape of the park itself. I was doing my research side by side about the park as I was reading this book. I am going to go find all the other books in this series and follow the Mouse as he tours all the national parks in US. Loved it.

A sweet romance between two people, Beatriz and Cas who know each other professionally and like each other. Unexpectedly they end up in the same flat and decide to be room mates for a while. It is a sweet romance brewing between them and is an enjoyable read. This book is fifth in the series, I had not read the previous book so it was a little tricky to understand the background of the characters. The plot itself is a standalone read.

Gone Country by Hunter Snow

Gone Country: An enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy by Hunter Snow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gone Country is a delightful slow-burn romantic novel that, despite its leisurely development, unfolds at a brisk pace. Hunter crafts a fun romantic comedy that blends elements of the enemies-to-lovers trope, making it an ideal choice for unwinding during a cozy afternoon.
The characters are particularly engaging; they resemble oil and water at first glance. The female protagonist is a spirited rock performer, fiercely independent and a bit rough around the edges. In contrast, the male lead epitomizes the easy-going charm of country life, with his chill demeanour and warm heart. Their dynamic is charming, as they navigate their differences to find common ground. Together, they create a musical connection that resonates, and their witty banter had me chuckling throughout.
Overall, Gone Country offers a narrative filled with humor and just the right amount of romantic tension. I can’t wait to see what Hunter has in store for readers in the next book!

Dirty Little Family Secret By Lynn wood

Dirty Little Family Secret by Lynn Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book of the series and I have not read the first two, so it did take me sometime to get into the characters and the storyline, but the plot is standalone. The protagonist Charlie majors in dance before she sets her eyes on becoming a doctor. But her maternal side of the family has given her supernatural powers to talk to the dead before they crossover. She gets introduced to her soul mate Jack through a mutual friend and they make a great team together. But then will Charlie be able to balance her psychic abilities with her professional and budding personal relationships? This was an interesting book, the characters are strong and supportive. The plot is engaging. I enjoyed it.
