The Pumpkin Pact

Welcome to The Pumpkin Patch at Pickle Grove.

Andi is worried that her relationship with Drew has become dull and boring. They never do anything exciting these days, in or out of the bedroom. So when a swoon-worthy stranger appears she is instantly swept off her feet.

When they unexpectedly meet again, they realise they have more in common than they thought possible so draw up a pact to spice up their lives! The plan they conjure up while working together at The Pumpkin Patch, to make their partners jealous, brings them closer than ever.

Andi plucks up the courage to finish with Drew but there are no signs of Andrew doing the same and she thinks she’s lost him forever.

With meddling exes, misunderstandings and miscommunication getting in the way, can The Pumpkin Pact bring them back together?

Will you help me become a mother?’ My sister whispers, her hands clasping mine. ‘You’re my only hope…’

When my sister asks me to help her have a child, I already know I will say yes. She has always dreamed of being a mother, and this might be her last chance.

Not long after the embryo is created, my sister is killed in a tragic hiking accident. The grief of losing my best friend is unbearable, but in the days that follow I realize there is a shimmer of hope: I can still fulfill her dream, and bring her baby into the world.

But no matter what I do, I can’t stop thinking about my sister’s last words to me. On the day she died, she said there was something she needed to tell me. And when mybrother-in-law finally tells me what my sister was hiding, I can barely breathe.

My heart breaks as I realize I may not have known my sister at all. But now I know her terrible secret, do I have the strength to be the mother of her child?

An emotional and unputdownable story about what it means to be a mother. Perfect for fans who love Kate Hewitt, Jodi Picoult and Diane Chamberlain.

My Sister’s Only Hope

Written By Alison Ragsdale 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews 

First, I want to thank Alison Ragsdale, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can provide you with this review. 

Heads up you may want to grab a box of tissues before sitting down to read Alison Ragsdale’s latest My Sister’s Only Hope! Alison quickly tugged on my heart strings with this one and had me tearing up. My Sister’s Only Hope was definitely an extremely emotionally powerful rollercoaster ride with a lot of twists and turns you never saw coming. 

I found it appropriate that Alison would dedicate this book to her forever friends that are her sisters!

There was a quote by an unknown person that Alison used in her book that touched me deeply about sisters being like stars, not seeing them but knowing they are always there. I have two sisters who both live in different states that I don’t get to see as much as I would like to. 

Ohh it is a phone call that you never want to get!! My heart instantly ached for Kenzie!! I can relate to her getting a call like that about a relative and feeling all those feels!! 

I love the bond that these two sisters Kenzie and Olivia had. Not to mention that they would do anything for eachother if it meant making eachother happy. 

My Sister’s Only Hope deals with important issues like IVF, fertility issues, grief, etc. Plus, even deep painful hidden secrets of the past. 

Alison’s ending I was kinda shocked by and didn’t see that coming. I was actually routing for another outcome.

My Daughter's Keeper

You’d know if something was wrong… wouldn’t you? But danger doesn’t always wear a mask – it can hide in plain sight.

After a difficult break-up, my six-year-old Daisy is finally settling into life in two homes. She’s spending more time with her dad, his wealthy and glamorous partner Kirsty, and her new stepsisters, Amelia and Freya. She seems happier. More relaxed. Like she’s finally found her place.

It should be everything I ever wanted for her. So why does it feel like I’m losing her?

Then Daisy confesses something that stops me cold. Something I can’t ignore. That Amelia isn’t kind. Behind closed doors, she’s cruel. Violent even.

Everyone says it’s just normal sibling tension. A bit of jealousy. But the more I try to dismiss it, the harder it becomes to shake the feeling that something is deeply, dangerously wrong.

What would you do if your child told you they were being hurt by someone you trusted? Would you risk everything to protect them – even if no one believes you?

My Daughter’s Keeper 

Written By Sheila Norton 

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Sheila Norton, Boldwood Books, NetGalley, and Rachel’s Random Resources for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review. 

Sheila Norton is back with another one of her heartfelt reads that had my emotions all over the place with some of these characters. Oh yes! In My Daughter’s Keeper Sheila once again reminded how it is better being single than in a relationship! Seriously, I was livid for Craig’s thoughtful Birthday gesture!! We the readers got to see early on his true colors! My heart went out to Tashe instantly. 

Each book I read most likely has one character that I have a fondness for one reason or another. In this book it was the little girl Daisy. She pulled on my heartstrings hard. Because of a decision Daisy’s Dad decided to make, it now impacts Daisy too-and she is not at all happy with it. I can’t say that I blame her one bit. 

The financial differences between the two families, how he traded up, and how they flaunted it kinda rubbed me the wrong way. I could understand why Daisy and Tashe would feel small next to this family at times. 

The bond between Daisy and Freya was just so adorable and so sweet!! There were many scenes in the book where they both brought smiles to my face. Oh not to mention the ones with the cute doggie Max too!

Sheila discusses very important topics in this book such alcoholism, drunk drivers, selective mutism, gambling, etc. 

Even though I enjoyed the book I felt the storyline dragged on and wasn’t as fast paced as I would have liked.
