BOOK REVIEW – A Reason to Remember – Leigh Duncan

A Reason to Remember

4 STARS!

A sweet story about remembering the good times even during tough times.

Margo Langdon is waiting for her husband to get home.  They are supposed to be finalizing everything and signing their divorce papers that night.

David Langdon is late getting home, as usual.  Just after he arrives, a freak accident occurs that lands him in the hospital unable to remember the last 10 years of their life together.

Margo stays by his side while he’s unconscious, then once he’s awake, they relive their love through the years as he talks about things he remembers from 10 years ago when they were young and in love while still in college.  And they relive the early years of what he can’t remember, while she describes their wedding to him and their life through the years.

When his memory comes back, will they still be basking in the memories and love they feel with one another, or will the divorce continue with them going their separate ways?

Take the Storm

4 STARS!

This episode deals with whether Marisol will ever agree to date Patrick, or whether she will continue to live her life for her siblings.  We also go back to touch base with several of the previous characters to see what’s happened since we last left them.

Luis Moreno, Mallory Alvarez, Lacey Salt & Jeffry Rush are all at a party and have an altercation.  Brittany Rush is having fun getting to know Marcus Alvarez.  Logan Murphy and Ginny Moreno are still seeking comfort with each other, while she continues to feel guilty about the lies she has told.

Only two more episodes to go in this part.  Can’t wait to see what happens!

RELEASE BLAST/BOOK REVIEW/GIVEAWAY – Wishes for Christmas – Fern Michaels

Wishes for Christmas

4 STARS!

This book is broken into 3 parts.  They each tell their own story, but there is some connection of characters along the way.  I found the first part to be hard to follow, but the 2nd two parts were good and had a nice story to each of them.

And the Angels Sing
This part of the book isn’t exactly easy to follow.  I think there’s a lot of backstory in previous books about a Sisterhood, that probably have you knowing about each character, but in this particular one, they are a group of middle aged to older women and men who refer to each other as “Sisters” and “the boys”.  They team up to help Maggie do a good deed for something she feels guilty about doing or not doing in the past.  They track down a former teacher of Maggie’s and set about making her dreams come true through helping the less fortunate.

Naughty or Nice
This part centers around Teresa Amelia Loudenberry, Toots to her family and friends. and around those near and dear to her.  They are preparing for Charleston’s annual holiday showcase of historical homes.  When something arises surrounding one of the decorators working on her daughter’s home, they all rally around to help out and find some answers for this woman and her 3 kids.

A Golden Tree
This part centers around Holly Simmons and her families Inn.  She hires on a temporary assistant to help with the holiday rush.  Both of their grandfathers have recently gone to live at the Haven, where strange things are happening.  We see Toots and her friend Sophie pop up in this book to help investigate the Haven.
