From the newest sensation in contemporary romance comes a delightfully heartwarming beach read that’s perfect for fans of RaeAnne Thayne, Denise Hunter, and Debbie Macomber. 

After losing her beloved family’s Cape Cod inn right after culinary school, chef Lana Kelly converts her late father’s old fish market next door into a successful restaurant. However, over the years, she’s kept her eye on the inn with dreams to expand. She also hopes she can acquire the property for her grandad so he’ll know it’s back in the family before his dementia causes the memory to vanish for good. 

When the inn goes up for sale, she rushes to put in an offer. But Hunter Graham of Graham Property Development in New York City snapped it up and plans to transform it into an event venue. With competition on the Cape continuing to rise, Lana worries about how to keep her little restaurant growing. And she isn’t so thrilled about her new neighbor.

Next to the lapping waters of the bay and the summer breezes, Lana is forced to face the truth. But will that truth be losing the inn forever or finding something more?

A heartwarming summer romance that will sweep you away to the sparkling New England coast. An incredible story that you will not be able to put down, full of healing, family ties, and best of all, love.

Writing stories as a little girl was the way I coped with the world around me. At 16, I faced a traumatic event that forever changed who I am and made me into the person I am today, but despite how hard it has been to heal - it didn't take away the storyteller in me. I continued to write throughout all those years I felt lost, bringing my characters to life and using it as my escape. I always knew I would be an author one day, but it wasn't until another tragedy- losing my son, Joseph, in 2013, who was born still - finally ignited my writing career. I began to write my story and didn't stop.

 

My memoir, Just Be, was published in 2018 and while I always knew I would venture into sweet romantic fiction, writing my story was important because for me - it is my ultimate love story.

​

Why sweet romance? Because stories with happy endings can help us grow as people and help us to be brave in a world that has many distractions, stresses, and where love is often challenged. My passion is to write and share romance that connects my readers with my characters whom they can relate to, smile within my stories and feel encouraged by the love that changes their lives, their relationships and their faith. Just as I wrap love around me every single day since overcoming trauma and grief.

Fly Away Summer

Written By Lindsay Gibson

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

RFirst, I want to thank Lindsay Gibson and Harpeth Road Press for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 

Lindsay Gibson’s Fly Away Summer is a beautifully written and heartfelt story that will make you want to hug your loved ones a little tighter. For me it was an emotional read and needed a few tissues. 

I have to commend Kristen Ingebretson for her cover design and Shutterstock as well for the cover images. Out of all the covers that Harpeth Road Press has created over the years this is my favorite one to date. It is such a breathtaking cover and represents the book so well. 

Lindsay does an amazing job jumping right into the storyline! What is even better is she is incredible with expressing all of Lana’s emotions and there were a lot of them to express! My heart went out to her for all that she was going through! 

I absolutely loved the picturesque setting of Boston and Cape Cod, the clambakes, seafood, and the bakery goodies in Fly Away Summer! Having been there now I am craving some Clam Chowder! 

Lindsay addresses Dementia and the effects of mental decline and how it affects the person and family. That being said I loved hearing the stories he did share with Lana. They brought a smile to my face. 

I was extremely surprised and had a big grin on my face to see who Lana’s Sues Chef was. Her name was Heidi. Ironically there was another character in the book with my last name (but a very few know my real last name). 

Heidi is persistent even with everything going on in Lana’s life she is still insistent she fixes her up with this one guy! 

This book is about family past and present and grieving how the relationships have changed.

In the middle of my beautiful daughter’s eighteenth birthday party, silence falls as I unfold my speech, my heart bursting with everything I want to say. But when I look down I see a note, and my world stops: She’s not who you think she is.

Ruby was our miracle baby. I would have done anything to become a mother, and when she finally arrived, I held her in my arms, looked in her blue eyes and swore I would never let anything harm her. Now she’s everything I could have dreamed of. I don’t even think about all the years of heartache I went through before she was born.

So when I get the strange warning at her birthday party, I ignore it, hiding it in my bag with trembling hands. Someone is simply jealous of her.

But as I watch my daughter, things I’ve been trying to ignore come flooding back to me – Ruby’s odd disappearances, her whispered arguments with her best friend, and a memory from her sixth birthday which still breaks my heart to remember.

I need to know the truth about who she really is, but digging into my daughter’s secrets might reveal my own. As the party draws to a close and the confetti is swept away, I gather my courage. I’ve spent eighteen years trying to forget my own mistakes, and it could only take a moment for everything to fall apart.

Do I risk tearing my family apart to keep my daughter safe? Because when my secrets come out, I could lose my precious girl forever…

A completely compelling and heart-wrenching read about the strength of a mother’s love for her child. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Amanda Prowse and Susan Lewis.

Julia was born in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, and began her career as a professional singer/dancer. This enabled her to travel the world in her late teens storing up experiences she has since included in her writing.

Following roles as a hostess on The Price is Right and a member of the Beadle’s About ‘hit squad’ in the 1980s, she became a TV Presenter and filmed features for Sky Sports before launching the QVC shopping channel in 1993 where she still presents today. Having always wanted to write, she penned her first book, a memoir sold on QVC, in 2013 and has since written eleven full length novels, two novellas and several short stories.

My Daughter’s Lies 

Written By Julia Roberts 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Julia Roberts, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 

WOWZERS!! My Daughter’s Lies by Julia Roberts is truly an emotionally filled family drama that pulls on your heart strings. It is a gripping fast paced addictive storyline. 

Julia would like to dedicate My Daughter’s Lies in memory of Sadie Walsh.

I absolutely LOVED the idea for Ruby’s 18th Birthday Party that her Aunt Sadie helped plan for her! Being a huge fan of musicals I would have loved to attend that party! It was such a perfect idea since she loved musicals, dancing, etc! 

One thing I don’t miss about my teenage years is the high school drama especially when it came to boys! Oh this book was filled with secrets, betrayals, lies, backstabbing, feuds between friends, etc.

She’s here to help my daughter. She wants to steal my life.

I have a gorgeous husband, Scott, two lovely children, a successful career and a stylish townhouse. Anyone would think my life is perfect. But it’s all a lie.

My twelve-year-old Katie has been in trouble at school and won’t talk to me. Desperate, we hire young, willowy brunette Deanna – an expert tutor – to help my daughter. I’ve been so worried and my husband blames me. Have I failed as a mother?

Deanna is our last hope, the only person who seems able to help my precious child. But I’m starting to wonder about her intentions…

She’s in my kitchen, touching Scott’s arm. She and Katie seem to be keeping secrets, laughing as they glance at me. And I see her in my bedroom, watching from the window as I leave for work.

Then I find Deanna in Scott’s study, examining an old, framed photograph. And she begins to ask questions about Scott’s beautiful ex-wife.

I know her game; she’s looking for something that will destroy my life. The life she wants for herself.

But Deanna has underestimated me. I won’t give up my perfect family without a fight, and she has no idea how far I’ll go to stop her…

A totally addictive and pulse-pounding psychological thriller from multi-million copy bestseller J M Dalgliesh. Prepared to be gripped until the final, jaw-dropping revelation! Perfect for anyone who loves The Housemaid, The Woman in the Window, Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train.
