Hooking a Handyman

H is for Handyman: The ABC's of Love Book 8

Written by: Brenna Jacobs
Hooking the Handyman is another successful ABC's of Love story. With a hunky handyman and spunky news reporter, this story is a sweet romance. Zoey Williamson, passionate reporter, is between jobs when she goes to care for her grandmother that is recovering from a stroke. As Zoey arrives in town, Harry, the handyman, is putting new shelves in her room for the duration. Harry is no simple handyman. He is the handyman of every woman's dreams- Harrison Beckford: the handyman from Right-on Renovations. Zoey steps in as a nanny for Harry's adorable children the role of boss and nanny becomes sweethearts.  When Zoey receives the job of her dreams back in Chicago, can she discover what will make her happy? Can Harry support Zoey in finding self-fulfillment outside of his own home?

This sweet romance has so many swoon-worthy moments. From start to finish with an abrupt introduction where Zoey is awestruck by the celebrity handyman in her bedroom to a sweet reconciliation of differences and home cities, this story made me want more. Each step of the journey I was rooting for Zoey on her path of self-discovery. I wanted to step in and shut up the vultures (gossipy play-group mothers). As Zoey asked herself the questions, "In a world where we are programmed to achieve, achieve, achieve, are we brave enough to acknowledge that what we achieve might not be the thing that makes us happy... Is it satisfying? Do you enjoy it? Does it fill you up and make you feel like you matter? Does it bring you joy?" I had to stop and ask myself those questions. Brenna Jacobs did an impressive job of telling a sweet romance I didn't want to put down at the same time as making me reevaluate my own life choices. I couldn't ask for a better read.

Perfect Match Gulf Coast Firefighters Written by: Susan Oloier This sweet romance was a pleasant read. With two characters who are looking for something more satisfying in life and struggling to find it, they relate to most of the population. As neighbors who find attraction despite everything about the situation being wrong, they push past their insecurities and eventually find their way to love. Susan Oloier created realistic characters with faults and struggles. Both of them have great personalities and the flaws enhance the story. The world they live in is comfortable and real. This story could be any of the hallmark stories just without a Christmas setting.

Home on the Harbor

  Home on the Harbor Cliffside Point: Book 4 Written by: Ellen Joy The fourth book in this series has all of the characters come back with big appearances. While this may hold Harper's love story, it also holds the love story of the whole family (blood and chosen)- the love story of how these characters found each other and rely on each other. While the romance is sweet, the greater meaning comes from how these women are light to each other and can rely on each other. Reading about their struggles and will to survive makes me want to reach out to those around me so they know I have their backs and love them.  Overall- I wish I could have seen more of Harper's love story. There is so much to her back story and understanding who she is as a person that I felt a little gypped on seeing her happily ever after. To seeing the characters fall in love after they came around to enjoying each other's company. Maybe we will see more of that in the next book!

Sleep Robin Hood

Sleep Robin Hood Outlaws: Book Three Written by: M.C. Frank Sleep Robin Hood is a fantastic continuation of the Outlaws series. With action, adventure, romance, suspense, and everything in-between this story hooked me. I can't wait for the next year to pass so I can read the next installation in this retelling. The characters have such passion and feelings that go between hope, despair, and betrayal. I don't want to say too much for fear of giving something away but this series is a well-written depiction of the tale of Robin Hood.
