Their unlikely friendship soon developed into a romantic relationship that had them dreaming of a future together—until Macy unexpectedly called things off in college.

When her best friend’s wedding festivities mean Nate’s return, she’s forced to face her past and the feelings she may still have for him.

Years ago, Kelly McIntyre couldn’t see her life getting any sweeter. She was engaged and dreaming of opening a restaurant with her fiancé, Andrew York. But to her utter surprise, Andrew chose to take an opportunity to study in Paris—alone—and their courtship came to an abrupt end. Life had other plans for Kelly. Now she’s the owner of an adorable potbellied pig named Gray who keeps her company on those cold nights, and she also runs her own bakery. Business is good—so good that she’s invited to compete in a Valentine’s Day baking competition in New York. As she prepares for the contest, she’s feeling confident. Until she hears that Andrew is back in town. The last thing either of them needs is to stir up old feelings. But little do they know that they might be stirring more than their feelings when they face off at the competition… Will they agree on the secret ingredient to happiness?

The Secret Ingredient

Written By Nancy Naigle

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


First, I want to thank Nancy Naigle and Harpeth Road Press for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review. 


Ohh The Secret Ingredient by Nancy Naigle was a super cute read! This book will put a smile on your face and love in your heart! Ironically enough It doesn’t just read like a Hallmark Channel Movie this book was made into a movie! I have not yet seen it but after reading the book I really want to! 


There were so many things about this book that I adored! The small town setting of the book was so cute! I could see myself living there. I loved the second chance love story that was full of ups and downs and twists and turns to the storyline. 


I absolutely love how they both went and pursued their passions and made a name for themselves. However, I was not a fan of the original break up! But loved the reunion with everyone. 


If you have a sweet tooth this book is definitely for you. As a treat in the back of the book Nancy gives us two of her recipes. 


One thing that I thought was original was she had a mini pet pig named Gray. When you hear why she named him this you will be laughing hysterically. 


This is a cute fun read that can be devoured in one day.

When my best friend’s teenage daughter comes to see me, I know something is wrong. With tear-filled eyes, she says she’s pregnant and begs me not to tell her mother. I know I’m betraying my best friend but as I look at Chloe’s terrified expression, I don’t know how I will find the strength to say no…

No matter what life throws at me, I have always been able to depend on my best friend 
Rachel. In nineteen years of friendship, we’ve never argued or fallen out. So, I’m wracked by guilt over my decision to keep her daughter Chloe’s pregnancy a secret. I don’t want to break Chloe’s trust but, if I don’t say anything, it could destroy my relationship with Rachel.

I hoped Chloe would find the confidence to tell her mom, but days have passed, and the guilt is eating me alive. As much as I want to support Chloe, I don’t know how much longer l can lie to my best friend. I spend every day completely gripped by a panic that sends my heart racing.

The pressure only worsens when I discover that Chloe has one more thing that she’s been hiding. Something that could destroy the perfect life I’ve worked so hard to build—the family I love so much and the career I’m so passionate about.

Title: Abel (Broken Falls, #2) 

Author: Laramie Briscoe 

Genre:Contemporary Romance 

Release Date:March 15, 2024 

Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.


A year worth of flirting comes down to this kiss...

Abel

I've eaten more tacos the past year than I have my entire life. It's not because I love those little handfuls of goodness (although I do). It's because of the woman who runs the local food truck Let's Taco Bout ⬇ ⬇ It. Seeing her makes my day, and while I can't admit my feelings, I can at least see her smile.

Until Halloween. When a man gives her attention she doesn't want, she pretends we're together, and lays a kiss on me that I'll never forget.

Kara

I've spent the last year watching the hottie in the constantly torn and dirty jeans eating shyly walking up to my food truck and ordering the same thing each time. I've done my best to drag him out of his shell, but nothing works until a night of unwanted attention forces me to make a move. 

Now? He's hanging around even more, and when his husky voice calls me his girlfriend? I melt into a puddle, and he's the only one who can pick me up and put me back together again. 

Abel is book two in The Broken Falls Series: a series of interconnected standalones following a group of friends who have become family in small-town West Virginia, and the women who bring them to their knees. You do not have to read them in order, but each book builds upon the relationships of the last.

I'm slightly nervous as I follow him into his kitchen. I gasp when I get a good look. His kitchen is my dream. Stainless steel appliances, cabinets painted a dark gray that almost pulls blue in the darkness coming through the back windows. White marble countertops are spotless and inviting. Contemporary lighting provides enough where it's needed, and softens where it isn't. "You have a pot filler," I gasp with jealousy. 

He laughs. "I do. When Dad and I were designing this place, he said I'd appreciate it if I were ever going to make dinner often. Since I do, I use it all the time."

"You make dinner a lot?" I'm learning so much about him tonight. 

"When I decided to buy this place and gut it, I didn't have a ton of money. Still repaying college loans too," he shrugs.  "So while I do go out with my friends to the bar, I don't spend a ton as I'm paying down stuff. Dad helped me more than he should've, but he wasn't able to take care of everything. The amount of free labor and construction work he gave me for this place was well into the hundreds of thousands. My friends helped too, which is why they hang out here all the time when we aren't working or at Monroe's."

The scent of whatever we're going to eat permeates the room. "What else are you going to surprise me with tonight?" I tilt my head to the side.

"Hopefully everything you never imagined I would be."

Our eyes meet, and I get lost in the green depths of his. I've seen them in many different situations and they tend to change colors depending on what's happening. It runs the gamut from very light to dark, like the luscious floor of the rainforest. "I don't really know you at all do I?" My voice is quiet as I observe him. "Does anyone really know you?"

He scratches the back of his neck, ducking his head down. "There are very few people who do, and I prefer it that way.”

#BookReview #Map #TheHollow #KierstenModglin

It was the perfect place to grow up…and the perfect place to die.


After experiencing a personal tragedy, Carmen McKenna finds Hunter’s Hollow—a bustling campground in rural North Carolina—to be her new home and worst nightmare.


Despite the promises of a chosen family and a safe place to grow up, living next door to the Hunters’ two sons comes with its own set of challenges. Jack and Dean introduce Carmen to a world she’s never known—one filled with young love, first heartbreak, and sinister secrets.


When a body is found at Hunter’s Hollow, instantly shattering the tranquil façade that has surrounded the campground, the residents are forced to accept the truth: a killer is among them.


As the police search for answers to no avail, Carmen leaves the campground in hopes of clearing her mind and healing her broken heart.


Now, eleven years later and with the case still unsolved, Carmen returns to face the past and discover the truth about that terrible night. Before she can, a guest is reported missing from the campground and the circumstances are all too similar to the horror Carmen once faced.


They say you can’t go home again, but when buried secrets call to Carmen from Hunter’s Hollow, she’s determined to learn the truth about what happened back then—and what’s happening now—if it’s the last thing she does.

The Hollow

Written By Kiersten Modglin

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


First, I want to thank Kiersten Modglin for providing this book for me so I can bring you this review. 


If you were a fan of Kiersten Modglin’s Hemlock (like I was) you will adore her latest The Hollow! Like Hemlock she throws in a little romance within her mystery.


My heart broke for Carmen as I read about the passing of her father and all her emotions around it. I can only imagine how hard these scenes were for Kiersten to write as well. 


Fans of Kiersten’s romantic storylines will love the love triangle between Carmen, Jack and Dean! This storyline is big on drama and even some spice! Oh but don’t worry there are some wicked twists and turns that lead up to an explosive ending. 


If you are a fan of camping and campgrounds then this is the book for you as well. It has an errie feel to it when you learn about the mysterious part of the story. 


Kristen will instantly hook you into this fast paced, one sitting, addicting must read book!
