I was new to this reviewing thing this year and I feel like I am still getting the hang of things but I have LOVED every minute of it and look forward to 2014! Thank you Heather for the opportunity! And my personal goal this year is to get better at posting reviews on Amazon!! I have made a lot of new author friends this year and they have helped me see what a difference our opinions make in places like Amazon or Goodreads. I challenge ALL readers to make a difference for their favorite authors!! Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous 2014!!
My top 5 reads and this is a hard choice –
Toni Aleo – Taking Shots
Cindy Gerard – The Way Home
Raeanne Thayne – Christmas in Snowflake Canyon
Susan Wiggs – Candlelight Christmas
Brenda Novak – When Summer Comes
These are in addition to the other fav contemp reads (which is what I read almost exclusively) as well as the fav h/h books listed.
I read so many good ones but will go with:
Alexis Morgan – A Time for Home
Carolyn Brown – The Cowboy’s Christmas Baby
Shannon Stacey – Love a Little Sideways
Susan Mallery – Two of a Kind
Deb Macomber – Rose Harbor in Bloom
This is difficult to narrow it to five:
Hard as it Gets by Laura Kaye
Unbound by Cara McKenna
Always on My Mind by Jill Shalvis
Three Little Words by Susan Mallery
The Story Guy by Mary Ann Rivers
