Book Review: Better Together by Mandi Blake

 


Better Together by Mandi Blake 
Book 4 in the Wolf Creek Ranch Series
4.5 Stars
(Can be read as a Standalone but you best experience this by reading in order in my opinion)

Another great Christian romance by Mandi Blake! Loved book 4 and looking forward to continuing in the series! In this one, we have a sweet, clean, friends to more romance with a marriage of convenience trope that I LOVED. 

Read if you like:
- Christian Contemporary Romance
- Cowboys and Small Town Ranch Settings
- Books with Faith Content Showing Redemption and Forgiveness
- Books with Family Elements 
- Marriage of Convenience Trope
- Friends to More Trope

Colt and Remi are best friends in this story when something happens that is a tragedy to their family. They get married to have a better chance at gaining custody of his niece and nephew due to the circumstances. Colt has been in love with Remi for a long time but Remi has never loved herself enough due to her past experiences and mistakes to be able to care for him back. An emotional roller-coaster ensues from here as they learn how to be a married couple and parents to his niece and nephew.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one, excited to see characters show up from different books of Mandi's here and there too! I loved the kids and seeing Remi and Colt embrace their new lives together. Colt was such a great guy, as usual in Mandi's books! :) I loved their chemistry and seeing them interact with the kids was precious. It really added a layer of depth to the story.

The ending had a little bit of conflict with Remi and Colt I didn't love but other than that, it was another SOLID read from Mandi and after that bonus epilogue, I NEED the next book!

With the help of her rescue cat, Eddie, librarian Minnie Hamilton is driving a bookmobile in the resort town of Chilson, Michigan. Things happen she least expects when Eddie runs off and finds the body of a local man in town..... Minnie is ready to let the police solve the case but Eddie seems to smell a rat! Together they work to find the killer.  This was a really fun one to read while I was recovering from having surgery this last week! :) As a gift from my friend Tammy, I am so glad I read it! (And that I had my kitty Simba right there with me while I read it was a cute bonus!) Eddie is a stubborn kitty and I LOVED THAT! He kept on pushing the limits to help Minnie out. :)  A bookmobile is also a unique thing to find in books that I absolutely loved. I am looking forward to more of Minnie and Eddie

Book Review: All My Secrets by Lynn Austin

  All My Secrets - Lynn Austin - 5 Stars All My Secrets by Lynn Austin is a multigenerational story of 3 women that explores first loves, grief, high society lifestyle, history, the Christian faith and the essence of what matters most in life. I highly recommend this book as I was fully immersed in the story and characters.  Set during the Gilded Age in New York, we see the strength of the Stanhope women following the passing of Arthur Stanhope.

As they navigate through the aftermath, family secrets begin to unravel, shedding light on their intertwined history. I absolutely loved this story. I was very invested in the audiobook narration and learning about Sylvia and Junietta's past. We see the beauty of the Gospel in this story several times as our characters grapple with their past decisions, mi
