Review - Falling by Jane Green

Falling by Jane Green is a beautiful story that reminds us all that sometimes families can take place in the most unexpected ways.

Emma has moved the the East Coast from England, where she meets Dominic. Much to her surprise she and Dominic hit it off despite their very different backgrounds. She has never met anyone quite like Dominic and it turns out that having someone different in her life is exactly what she needed. Dominic is also a single father and Emma finds herself falling in love with both father and son. Sadly, tragedy strikes and Emma finds herself having to create a new happiness, fight for what she loves and form a new idea of family.

It's a beautiful, well written book. The unexpected ending threw me for a little bit of a loop (and drew a few tears out of me), but ultimate Green redeemed herself and I enjoyed the book very much!

Thanks to Netgalley for the Advanced Readers Copy!

Rated 4/5 pm Goodreads.

First Star I See Tonight by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

First Star I See Tonight is a satisfying addition to the Chicago Stars series. Cooper Graham has just retired as the quarterback when he meets private investigator Piper. Their relationship starts off with a mutual dislike that quickly turns into one full of sparks. Watching Cooper and Piper navigate the waters is fascinating and entertaining. In the end Cooper lays it all on the line in order to win his biggest game ever...a happily ever after. I highly recommend both the series and the book.

Chicken Quest

I have been wanting chickens for years and years, but I am a city girl and chickens didn't seem like something I could have. But I was wrong! In November 2018 our city council passed a chicken ordinance and suddenly my chicken dreams seemed like they could come true! I spent last winter reading everything I could find about chickens and researching everything having to do having chickens in the city, and what types of coops would be best. Our local pet store orders chicks from a local hatchery, and I decided to get chicks from the May shipment. I read about each of the types of chicks in that shipment and decided to get an assortment. After confirming with the neighbors that they wouldn't object to chickens, I ordered five chicks (the maximum amount allowed by our city accordance). I decided to order two Dominiques, one Colombian Wyandotte, one Calico Princess and one Midnight Majesty Maran. Step one of the chicken quest was underway, so I started to fill out...

Favorite Author Alert - Julia Quinn

I have a handful of favorite authors, well really more like two giant handfuls. I have a lot of favorite authors! Anyhow, one of my many favorites has to include Julia Quinn. It won’t be a surprise to some of you that historical romance novels are some of my favorite. I love anything that includes a Lord or a Duke or a Countess. Julia Quinn’s novels have all of that and more. Start with the Bridgerton series, the first one is The Duke and I . Quinn’s latest novel is called Because of Miss Bridgerton . It sucked me in on the first page and didn’t let me go until I had finished it on my lunch break at work. My Review: Julia Quinn does it again. I loved her Bridgerton series and the idea that it continues on in this new series featuring the Rokesby brothers was beyond exciting to me. The two families are dear friends and everyone has always expected that Billie would marry one of the brothers, probably Andrew or Edw...
