    Episode 348: A Chat with Suzanne Woods Fisher
    Jul 19 2024

    The Cape Cod Creamery series has been one of my favorites by Suzanne Woods Fisher, and can I just say I was disappointed when I realized I hadn't ordered Love on a Whim before chatting with Suzanne. Listen in to see what's in this book!

    Oh, and can I just say that I was 100% wrong? Yeppers. 100%. Bakerbookhouse.com says I absolutely did order it. Finally found it. Guess where? Yeah! It was with the other two (already devoured) books. I put the thing away. Who does that?

    But seriously, I knew I'd love this book before I read the synopsis, but that synopsis grabbed me in a stranglehold and wouldn't let go. Come on! A woman gets married "on a whim" to a guy she just met and then runs away? To Cape Cod?

    Love on a Whim by Suzanne Woods Fisher

    Brynn Haywood's impulsive marriage to a man she'd known less than 24 hours leaves her with deep regret. She flees to Cape Cod, finding refuge with her loyal friend, Dawn Dixon. As Brynn grapples with her emotions, Dawn acts swiftly, eager to help secure a lawyer for her through her mother Marnie's good friend, Lincoln Hayes. However, Lincoln's preoccupation with his daughter's lavish wedding brings unexpected challenges.

    The arrival of Lincoln's estranged son, Bear Hayes, stirs the waters further. Alarmed by his father's extravagant generosity toward the Dixon family, Bear ignites friction between Marnie and Lincoln. As the wedding day arrives, Lincoln vanishes--and an unwelcome guest makes a surprise appearance.

    Psst... you can still get the book for 30% off with free shipping from BakerBookHouse.com (sorry... website is under maintenance as I type this, so I can't grab you a link).

Listen in to learn more from Linore Rose Burkard! note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. Beware shawls! You never know what they'll do to you? Linore Rose Burkard has created a fabulous series full of wonderful characters and unique settings that converge in this portal time-travel series. Forever Lovely by Linore Rose Burkard This sequel can be read as a stand-alone. 1819, England Miss Margaret Andrews’ sister disappeared into the future three years ago and Margaret hasn’t seen her since.

    Jul 12 2024

    The Secrets of Sweetwater Crossing comes to a close with Amanda Cabot's upcoming release of Into the Starlight. Listen in to learn more about the series and about the mystery that has kept us all curious as we read through this series!

    note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.

    This whole series has fascinated me since the first time Amanda and I chatted about it. I was certain that book two, After the Shadows would be my favorite, but... I don't know. Now that I hear more from Amanda about this book, I'm not so sure.

    Add to that learning that there will be a Christmas novella available for preorder soon (don't forget to sign up for her newsletter so you can find out when it goes live!), and well... come on! EEEP!

    Into the Starlight by Amanda Cabot

    After more than a year in Europe, Joanna Vaughn returns to Sweetwater Crossing, her dreams of becoming a concert pianist shattered. As if that weren't enough, her husband, whom she married after a whirlwind courtship, has died. The only thing sustaining her on the journey back to Texas was the thought of her childhood home. But to Joanna's dismay, she's changed so much that the place she once loved no longer feels like home.

    After his fiancée married his partner and both blamed him for a patient's death, Dr. Burke Finley believes it's time for a change. A quick trip with his almost-aunt Della Samuels to Sweetwater Crossing turns into an extended stay to discover what happened to his uncle and her would-be husband. But the beautiful and musical Joanna makes it more than bearable.

    As the two join forces to help Della, there is no denying the attraction felt on both sides. But ghosts from the past are coming to call--and threatening to destroy any chance at happily-ever-after.

    Get swept away by this emotional tale of family, friendship, and the kind of love that overcomes every obstacle.

    Into the Starlight is 40% off with FREE US shipping from BakerBookHouse.com through July 15th!
