𝐀 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐊𝐢𝐬𝐬 is an entertaining & charming second chance love story. Author 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 imbues it with insight, credibility, & appreciation of his flawed but completely credible, mature characters. Have they grown enough to forgive, respect each other's needs, & keep their union from imploding this time? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This story was so good. So deep and light at the same time. How to deal with a lost love... Forty years later.

Pub day!! Love this local-to-me author, and the book is a delight, a slow and steady rekindling.
I could listen to him speak all day and can‘t wait to read this book!
panI'm sorry to say that I simply didn't find this book to be very good. Granted, it's the third in a series. The stories stand alone, but there were references to previous stories, like many mystery series. I would have bailed if it weren't a mystery. I wanted to know whodunit, but the ending fell flat for me. It simply wasn't very creative or well-written, in my opinion.

pickCharlie and Vivian were married, briefly, forty years ago. Now Charlie wants to find his way back into Vivian's heart. But has too much time passed? Can they overcome hardship, addiction, and secrets?
This is not my usual kind of reading, but I won an ARC and I'm so glad I did. A refreshing love story about mature adults, and beautifully written. I dogeared pages with quotes I liked (hey, it was an ARC, so I can do that!) Highly recommended.
pickVery cute cozy! Ally is the new vet in small town Willow Bay. When a dog is the only witness to her human‘s murder, Ally and her true crime loving grandfather get involved in helping solve the case. There‘s only one more published book in the series, which I‘d love to read! Hope more are coming.

pickIf you like reading about the search for mythical creatures, you probably will enjoy this book. The search is on for a creature in Lake Michigan. The mystery was fun. I liked the characters, especially Morgan and her dog Newt. I gave it 4/5.
