Hope Harbor ~ Review

Come home to Hope Harbor--where hearts heal . . . and love blooms.

Tracy Campbell never wanted to leave Hope Harbor, Oregon, or the idyllic three-generation cranberry farm where she grew up. But life--and love--altered her plans. Now she's home again--with a floundering farm to run . . . a tragic secret . . . and a wounded heart. Romance is not on her agenda. Nor is it on Michael Hunter's. The visitor from Chicago has daunting secrets and devastating regrets of his own. But when Tracy recruits him to help with a project that is close to her heart, winds of change begin to sweep through Hope Harbor, bringing healing, hope, and love to countless lives--including their own.

MY THOUGHTS:

Do you believe in 2nd chances? Do you love to read stories about redemption? If so, Hope Harbor  is for you! 

Tracy and Michael find one another during a difficult time in each of their lives. Both are grieving and in desperate need of healing and believing that despite your circumstances, there is a plan for your life if you just keep going.  Through their friendship, they become closer and closer and learn that our need to hold on to the past is not the way we should live at all! Learning to trust God and to "know that you know"  your on Gods path brings about such peace and healing!!

Hope Harbor is sooo good and I highly recommend it!!

The Curiosity Keeper Review

About the book: 
The Curiosity Keeper (Thomas Nelson, July 2015)

"It is not just a ruby, as you say. It is large as a quail's egg, still untouched and unpolished. And it is rumored to either bless or curse whoever possesses it."

Camille Iverness can take care of herself. She's done so since the day her mother abandoned the family and left Camille to run their shabby curiosity shop. But when a violent betrayal leaves her injured with no place to hide, Camille must allow a mysterious stranger to come to her aid.

Jonathan Gilchrist never wanted to inherit Kettering Hall. As a second son, he was content to work as the village apothecary. But when his brother's death made him heir just as his father's foolish decisions put the estate at risk, only the sale of a priceless possession---a ruby called the Bevoy---can save the family from ruin. But the gem has disappeared. And all trails lead to Iverness Curiosity Shop---and the beautiful shop girl who may be the answer to his many questions.

Caught at the intersection of blessings and curses, greed and deceit, these two determined souls must unite to protect what they hold dear. But when a passion that shines far brighter than any gem is ignited, they will have to decide how much they are willing to risk for their future, love, and happiness.

The Curiosity Keeper has it all! Romance, Suspense, and Mystery will keep you turning pages til' the very end! I fell in love with Camille and Jonathan, and how their journey's unfold.  Seeing Camille learn how to truly stand up for herself had me cheering!!  I absolutely loved how Jonathan cares for others! Together these two are amazing and I highly recommend you read The Curiosity Keeper and think you will love their story as much as I did!!
