Book Review: Love on the Run by Mandi Blake


Love on the Run by Mandi Blake
5 Stars
(Book 5 in the Love in Blackwater Series)

OK this makes book 16 I have read by Mandi - how AWESOME is that?! AND NO SURPRISE FRIENDS - ITS A 5 STAR FOR MEEE! I LOVED THIS ONEEE SO MUCH! 

I am so connected with our characters in this series that it just MAKES the story for me to see them all connected as a friend group and truly live life together! 

In this one - we have so many things I love in books!
- Dual POV
- Laugh out Loud Moments 
- MMC Protects and Takes Care of our FMC
- FMC Stands up to her Controlling Parents (Relatable)
- Clean, Christian Romance
- Runaway Bride
- Best Friend's Brother
- Beau and Anna go on her honeymoon after her failed wedding, ANYWAY :)
- Forced Proximity 
- MMC Reading his Bible
- Prayers and Moments of Faith 
- Bookstore Visits
- Coffee & Dinner Dates
- Snowboarding/Snowmobile Activities
- Christmas Town in Freedom, Colorado (tied in from Mandi's other book)
- Christmas Tree Lighting Event

JUST THE BEST! 

In this story, we follow Anna and her upcoming wedding with Dean. Dean is NOT a good guy - it's revealed early on that he cheated on Anna and the wedding is OFF! BUUUTTT not before her best friend Olivia puts her brother Beau up to going with Anna on the honeymoon to the mountains in Colorado she planned anyway! We LOVE a good matchmaking friend ;) 

She runs off on the trip with Beau to get away.... away from her controlling family and job and finds more then she could ever imagine. Beau and her find themselves in some hilarious situations and as things would have it, fall in love. 

It's a beautiful story of love, faith, standing up for yourself, doing what you want in life, and Mandi also shows how important it is for you to be careful in your postings online - as Anna is also a fashion influencer online and has some odd situations with an online friend. 

Thank you Mandi for these great characters, settings and stories. Never stop writing sister! We love them!

I read a complimentary copy of this book - thank you to the author. All thoughts are my own! :)

  Lending a Paw by Laurie Cass - 4 Stars  Book 1 in A Bookmobile Cat Mystery Series This was a fun introduction to a new cozy mystery series with a cute cat sleuth helping along the way! 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 ...

Book Review: Fearless by Lauren Roberts

Fearless by Lauren Roberts Book 3 in the Powerless Trilogy 3 Stars OK, let’s dive into the review! I have sat with this all day and I think I’m going to land on 3 stars for this one. Books 1 and 2 were solid 4 star reads for me, and while my experience reading book 3 felt like a 4-star moment....mainly because I was in that UNWELL STATUS and absolutely NEEDED to know what was happening....it didn’t quite hold up in the end. You know those "drop everything and read" moments? That was ME! Her writing is great and addictive - but looking at the book itself, it felt a little all over the place. The last 30% especially got kind of random and, at times, just plain ridiculous. I questioned some events going on that made me like...WAITTTT WHAT? HA! That said, I still had a blast with this series. It is definitely one that will stay close to my heart because I adored Kai and Paedyn so much. Love their romance and banter - it's what has made the trilogy for me honestly. Kai really ...
