This Texas cowboy has come home to Copper Ridge to put down roots…but will he risk his heart again?

But since his wife abandoned them, both he and his daughter, Violet, are in need of a fresh start, so he’s back to claim his share of the family ranch. Local baker Alison Davis is a delicious temptation, but she’s also his daughter’s mentor and new boss.

Alison has worked tirelessly to rebuild her life, and she won’t jeopardize her hard-won independence. Especially if it also complicates Cain’s relationship with Violet. But with Cain offering a love she never thought was possible, Alison has to find the courage to let her past go…or watch her future ride away for good.

📖 BOOK FEATURE 🍹

𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐒𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐀 by @ellenbyronmariadirico

I was SO excited to read this one - after working in weddings & events for so long, this was a MUST READ cozy for me & it did NOT disappoint! This book was full of laughs, lots of family and a great mystery, and had all the makings of a perfect cozy read. 

& the recipes! Give me ALL the Italian food, forever! 

. . .

In the second installment of Maria DiRico's new Catering Hall Mystery series, Mia Carina is back in the borough of Queens, in charge of the family catering hall Belle View Banquet Manor, and keeping her nonna company. But some events--like murder at a shower--are not the kind you can schedule...

Mia's newly pregnant friend Nicole plans to hold a shower at Belle View--but Nicole also has to attend one that her competitive (and mysteriously rich) stepmother, Tina, is throwing at the fanciest place in Queens. It's a good chance for Mia to snoop on a competitor, especially since doing a search for how to run a catering hall can get you only so far.

Mia tags along at the lavish party, but the ambience suffers at Nicole's Belle View shower when a fight breaks out--and then, oddly, a long-missing and valuable stolen painting is unwrapped by the mom-to-be. Tina is clearly shocked to see it. But not as shocked as Mia is when, soon afterward, she spots the lifeless body of a party guest floating in the marina . . .

Thank you to @kensingtonpublishing @tlcbooktours for having me along this #booktour & letting me share my thoughts with you!

Ready to be inspired??

Whether or not you believe in miracles, I think anyone can be uplifted by the positivity of stopping to appreciate your circumstance. It's so easy to forget to recognize the little things in life that help move you along and if nothing else these stories are a great reminder to be a little extra thankful for that parking spot that materialized just when u needed it 😉

Thank you @tlcbooktours for continuing to provide such transformative reads 💙

Synopsis:
Do you want to believe that miracles can happen? 

Perhaps you need something greater than yourself to hold you, safely guide your way through a desperate situation, and answer your fervent prayer.

Have you wondered if something you experienced could be considered a miracle? Perhaps, at just the right time, you receive an encouraging text from a friend across the country. Or maybe it was much more dramatic. Something life-altering such as a split-second decision, an instinct, to slow your car just before the vehicle in front of you lost control. Regardless of its nature, once you have a miracle experience, big or small, you are never the same. You are changed by your miracle.

By exploring their own experiences, searching out religious texts, and collecting stories shared by others, the authors have compiled what they believe is the truest meaning of miracles. The Miracle Collectors offers inspirational stories of miracles that ripple through time and space changing the lives of others.
Readers will learn to recognize and celebrate miracles for the gift of grace that they are.

Today I'm delighted to be working with @tlcbooktours and featuring 𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘴 by @jenniferhillierbooks

This book was on my list of anticipated reads back in May last year upon its US release and is finally out in the UK tomorrow.
___

𝐒𝐘𝐍𝐎𝐏𝐒𝐈𝐒:
All it takes to unravel a life... is one home truth.

Marin used to have it all. She's married to the love of her life, Derek, she owns a chain of upscale hair salons, and is admired in her community as head of a loving family. Until the world falls apart the day her son Sebastian is taken...

A year later, Marin is a shadow of herself. The police search has gone cold. The publicity has faded. She and her husband rarely speak. With her sanity ebbing, Marin hires a private investigator to pick up where the police left off.

But instead of finding Sebastian, she learns that Derek is having an affair with a much younger woman. This discovery sparks Marin back to life. She's lost her son; she's not about to lose her husband. Derek's mistress is an enemy with a face, which means this is a problem Marin can fix. Permanently.

I am so excited to finally read this as I became an instant fan of Ms Hillier when I read Jar of Hearts. Plus, we all know how much I love a great crime series and this is the first in the Revolution Spy Series.

Synopsis:

All the Cowboys Ain’t Gone is the rollicking adventure story of Lincoln Smith, a young Texan living at the beginning of the twentieth century, who thinks of himself as the last true cowboy. He longs for the days of the Old West, when men like his father, a famous Texas Ranger, lived by the chivalric code.

Lincoln finds himself hopelessly out of time and place in the fast-changing United States of the new century. When he gets his heart broken by a sweetheart who doesn’t appreciate his anachronistic tendencies, he does what any sensible young romantic would do: he joins the French Foreign Legion.

On his way to an ancient and exotic country at the edge of the Sahara, Lincoln encounters a number of curious characters and strange adventures, from a desert hermit who can slow up time to a battle with a crocodile cult that worships the god of death. He meets them all with his own charming brand of courage and resourcefulness.

This slow, sweet story told in a multi perspective narrative is set in the small, sleepy town of Moab, Florida in the 1950’s.  Here folks live for ice cream socials, news of Jackie Robinson + the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the local paper’s weekly gossip column. Sheriff Winston Browne is used to handling the daily dramas that keep life interesting. But just after Winston receives terrible, life-altering news about his health, a feisty little girl with mysterious origins shows up in his friend’s henhouse. Suddenly Winston has a child in need of protection—as well as a secret of his own to keep.⁣
⁣
With the help of Moab’s goodhearted townsfolk, the humble and well-meaning Winston Browne still has some heroic things to do. He finds romance, family, and love in unexpected places. He stumbles upon adventure, searches his soul, and grapples with the past. ⁣

Until she discovers the truth of her sister’s death, no one will rest in peace.⁣
⁣
New Hampshire, 1865. Marion Abbott is summoned to Brawders House asylum to collect the body of her sister, Alice. She’d been found dead after falling four stories from a steep-pitched roof. Officially: an accident. Confidentially: suicide. But Marion believes a third option: murder.⁣
Returning to her family home to stay with her brother and his second wife, the recently widowed Marion is expected to quiet her feelings of guilt and grief—to let go of the dead and embrace the living. But that’s not easy in this house full of haunting memories.⁣
⁣
Just when the search for the truth seems hopeless, a stranger approaches Marion with chilling words: I saw her fall.⁣
Now Marion is more determined than ever to find out what happened that night at Brawders, and why. With no one she can trust, Marion may risk her own life to uncover the secrets buried with Alice in the family plot.⁣

What a great book to kick off Women’s History Mo What a great book to kick off Women’s History Month 👙 Repost from @itsbibliotherapy

♥️ Happy Women’s History Month! ♥️

What book mail have you received recently? 📬 I was thrilled when a #gifted copy of A Boob’s Life by Leslie Lehr arrived on my doorstep!  This gem is out tomorrow, March 2nd, just in time to kick off a month all about women! 🎉 See the synopsis below, and prepare to be intrigued.👇🏼

“At turns funny and heartbreaking, A Boob’s Life explores both the joys and hazards inherent to living in a woman’s body. Lehr deftly blends her personal narrative with national history, starting in the 1960s with the women’s liberation movement and moving to the current feminist dialogue and what it means to be a woman. Her insightful and clever writing analyzes how America’s obsession with the female form has affected her own life’s journey and the psyche of all women today.” 💁🏻‍♀️

I love stories about the French Resistance during WWII and am so happy to be part of the tour for 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘳 by @kristycambron. Thanks to @tlcbooktour and @tnzfiction for including me and for a gifted copy of the book!

𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿‘𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Based on true accounts of how Parisiennes resisted the Nazi occupation in World War II—from fashion houses to the city streets—comes a story of two courageous women who risked everything to fight an evil they couldn’t abide.

𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴, 1939. Maison Chanel has closed, thrusting haute couture dressmaker Lila de Laurent out of the world of high fashion as Nazi soldiers invade the streets and the City of Lights slips into darkness. Lila’s life is now a series of rations, brutal restrictions, and carefully controlled propaganda while Paris is cut off from the rest of the world. Yet in hidden corners of the city, the faithful pledge to resist. Lila is drawn to La Resistance and is soon using her skills as a dressmaker to infiltrate the Nazi elite. She takes their measurements and designs masterpieces, all while collecting secrets in the glamorous Hôtel Ritz—the heart of the Nazis’ Parisian headquarters. But when dashing René Touliard suddenly reenters her world, Lila finds her heart tangled between determination to help save his Jewish family and bolstering the fight for liberation.

𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴, 1943. Sandrine Paquet’s job is to catalog the priceless works of art bound for the Führer’s Berlin, masterpieces stolen from prominent Jewish families. But behind closed doors, she secretly forages for information from the underground resistance. Beneath her compliant façade lies a woman bent on uncovering the fate of her missing husband . . . but at what cost? As Hitler’s regime crumbles, Sandrine is drawn in deeper when she uncrates an exquisite blush Chanel gown concealing a cryptic message that may reveal the fate of a dressmaker who vanished from within the fashion elite.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘳 went on sale Tuesday, February 16.

qotd: what is something you are thankful for today? 

aotd: I am thankful for the sunshine. Last week was one tough week with all the winter storms here in Texas so the sunshine is bringing a smile to my face. 

Thank you to @tlcbooktours for the gifted copy! 🙏 

Falling Home is a relatable read. Author Hallie Lord shares stories of her struggles and describes how she found the way to overcome them. She spreads love and hope and that is something I think we can all use during these times. She is able to highlight her struggles and what she has learned to speak and share her wisdom. 

Synopsis: 

Hallie Lord understands the upheaval life can bring. From her parents’ divorce when she was a preteen to moving eleven times in fifteen years with her family, the radical changes she faced relentlessly pushed her toward fear and helplessness. Yet by digging into her faith and through much self-reflection, she realized that even though those challenges had left her a bit battered and bruised, they had also equipped her for any difficulty that may arise. 

In Falling Home, she describes the four interconnected foundations that now give her strength and security during life’s upheavals: 

• committed, supportive friendships, 

• healthy family relationships, 

• an intimate love affair with God, and 

• a compassionate sense of self. 

Inviting readers into her hard-fought journey, Lord shows them how they, too, can embrace whatever life brings their way. With lyrical prose and a tender, inviting voice, she shares how hurts and sacrifices are also the groundwork for creating a beautiful life that can catch them whenever they fall.

How do you keep warm during a record-breaking winter storm and power outage in Texas? You read an adventurous tale about the Old West.

Thanks to @tlcbooktours and @blackstonepublishing for the gifted copy of this stunning debut of a novel.

Synopsis: All the Cowboys Ain't Gone is the rollicking adventure story of Lincoln Smith, a young Texan living at the beginning of the twentieth century, who thinks of himself as the last true cowboy. He longs for the days of the Old West, when men like his father, a famous Texas Ranger, lived by the chivalric code.

Lincoln finds himself hopelessly out of time and place in the fast-changing United States of the new century. When he gets his heart broken by a sweetheart who doesn't appreciate his anachronistic tendencies, he does what any sensible young romantic would do: he joins the French Foreign Legion.

On his way to an ancient and exotic country at the edge of the Sahara, Lincoln encounters a number of curious characters and strange adventures, from a desert hermit who can slow up time to a battle with a crocodile cult that worships the god of death. He meets them all with his own charming brand of courage and resourcefulness.

My thoughts: If you love fast-paced historical fiction with vibrant, likable characters then this book is for you! I read this book in a day and couldn’t stop thinking about it when I put it down. It’s a great escape and a brilliant debut. I can’t wait to read more by this author.

Available tomorrow, February 22rd from your favorite bookseller.

Happy Wednesday friends! Today I have some different books I want to recommend to y’all. But I’m thinking these are ones you’re gonna want to keep in your car for the spontaneous road trip adventure!⁣
⁣
Guide to the National Parks of the United States and Secrets of the National Parks will be your best friends if one of your goals is to get out more and experience the natural beauty of the U.S.⁣
⁣
💗My best friend and I (shoutout to @maddbrans ily) have been toying with the idea of a road trip for ages and now I happen to have the perfect tools 😏 Through everything that’s happened in the past two years, I’ve realized that I have a tendency to let time pass me by with the excuse of waiting for “the perfect moment”. Surprise, TPM doesn’t exist! We have to make room to do what we want to do.⁣
⁣
These two books are filled with beautiful images of the national parks along with with ALL of the information you’d need to plan a trip. They have phone numbers, directions, best times to visit, maps!! They also tell you HOW to visit: what fees you’d need to pay to enter, rental equipment information, visitor centers and very clear directions. Basically all of the info you’d get by Googling but boiled down to what you’d actually want to have with you.⁣
⁣
✨Have you visited any of the U.S. National Parks?
I read this last year and can confirm it is EXCELL I read this last year and can confirm it is EXCELLENT!⁣

What book did you want to read last year that you never got around to?⁣
⁣
If we're anything at all alike, you probably have a long list of titles fitting this criteria. One of the standouts for me on the list of "I wish I would have gotten to that book" is NO BAD DEED by Heather Chavez. This one was a bookstagram favorite in 2020! ⁣
⁣
Not only am I thrilled to have a copy finally in my hands, but it just got voted as the April pick for @criminallygoodbookclub, so I'll definitely be reading it soon!⁣
⁣
This amazing sounding read is finally out in paperback today, so go snag a copy and join me reading it in April!⁣
⁣
A huge thank you to @tlcbooktours, @williammorrowbooks & @iamhrchavez for my gifted copy!⁣
⁣
Synopsis:⁣
Driving home one rainy night, Cassie Larkin sees a man and woman fighting on the side of the road. After calling 911, the veterinarian makes a split-second decision that will throw her sedate suburban life into chaos. Against all reason and advice, she gets out of her minivan and chases after the violent man, trying to help his victim. When Cassie physically tries to stop him, he suddenly turns on her and spits out an ominous threat: “Let her die, and I’ll let you live. And this will change her life.”

Thank you @tlcbooktours for these gifted books! It’s a snow day in Ohio and much of the U.S. Hope these sunny covers help warm you up today!⁣
⁣
Have you been to many of our national parks? I think I’ve only been to about five, but I’ve loved them all. My favorite was probably the Grand Canyon on vacation when our boys were younger. But there are so many more I want to visit!⁣
⁣
In true @natgeo style, these books are filled with gorgeous photos and great information and resources. I especially enjoyed reading about the hidden gems at the various parks and found useful information for lodging, visitor centers and much more.⁣
⁣
Pre-pandemic we were planning to visit our son in Alaska and go to Denali. We still hope to get there this year or next and might be able to check out the Kenai Fjords near Seward, Alaska as well. The other parks high on my list are those in Utah – Arches, Bryce Canyon, Zion and more. These guides will certainly be useful in planning our travels!⁣
⁣
Fun fact: There’s even a national park in Ohio! Cuyahoga Valley National Park is in the northeastern part of the state. We’ve visited a handful of times with our dogs to view the scenic waterfalls and other attractions. We still need to ride the railroad though.⁣
⁣
Do you have a favorite national park?⁣

Take care my friends. Be safe and stay warm! 💕

I’m so excited to read Dance Your Dance by Laurieann Gibson as she shares principles and insights into what motivates her and helped shape her career.

I think all too often we compare ourselves to one another in terms of careers, finances, relationships, and especially on social media when we truly need to focus on ourselves. Your dream, your dance, is unique to you and you should never allow others to deter you. It’s so important to surround yourself with positivity and love because those individuals will always genuinely support you. If you have ever doubted yourself this is your chance to follow your passion. Today is your day and I’m rooting for you! 💕

QTOD: What is the last memoir or self improvement book you read? What motivates you to achieve your goals? 

Thank you @wpublishing @laurieanngibson for the #gifted copy!
