  It Started with a Note Loved Started Book 2 Written by: Meg Easton It Started with a Note fulfilled all my expectations of a sweet international romance. Small town farm girl, Avery Parks, and high end business man, Nicholas Servais, come from so very different backgrounds but Meg Easton shows how to make it work. Their concerns about a romance were very real and some of the people in their lives didn't think it should but these two show the power of love and commitment. I loved how Easton brought the cities of Belgium to life along with introducing the intricacies and delicacies of chocolatiering (and who wouldn't want to read about that- mhmmm). She had me wanting to get out and travel as well as eat some delicious chocolate. Watch out or you will too! Purchase on Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JMFT6T1

  Not on the Agenda Diamond Cove Romantic Comedy Series Written by: Lucy McConnell I just finished this romantic comedy and it was gold! The awkward unbalanced of Elizabeth Mabel Matthews vs the coordinated and surfer personality of Chad Huntington makes for an opposites attract type romance. While their businesses are very different- they are both dedicated owners and will do what they can to have them succeed. I loved this contrast. There was the perfect amount of similarities which made this relationship seem like it has the potential for success while keeping enough different that there is still intrigue.  Lucy McConnell added the secret seven in which ramped up the comedy. The conniving of their schemes and the determination of each of these retirees made me smile the whole way through.  Purchase on Amazon:   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09QZ996VM?notRedirectToSDP=1&ref_=dbs_mng_calw_2&storeType=ebooks

 The Valet's Secret Written by: Josi S. Kilpack This sweet Cinderella type retelling was a little frustrating for me. For a book trying to fall into the regency era and still be realistic, a few of the main plot points are not what would have happened. If this story was pulled into the future it would have been fantastic.  The way Josi Kilpack brought the Cinderella into it was fun. The dress she wore was beautiful. The evil cousin screwing up the fantastic ending added a great twist. The way the support characters step up in the end to support the main characters added to the pros list. I just had a hard time accepting the set-up of the relationship.  Purchase on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1629729892/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i47

Practically Perfect Good Girls Don't Come Last Written by: Jennifer Youngblood Practically Perfect by Jennifer Youngblood is such a fun second chance romance. Penelope gets the chance to be true to herself after trying to force herself into the mold for her jerk of an ex and ex-in-laws. I loved seeing her character progression throughout the story. How she learns to stand up for herself. This is definitely a great story for anyone going through a divorce or separation in relationships. It is so hard on her but she makes it through. Jennifer Youngblood has some witty moments but most of all she creates scenes where you shout yes woman! You go girl.
