Mood Board: Planning Perfect

I finally read this book, and it was a really fun read. I wasn't sure how to capture my thoughts in a review, so I made a mood board instead. It's set in an apple orchard, but takes place in the summer.

 

Bookstagram (8) Out of the Clear Blue Sky

This wonderful book comes out tomorrow. I was lucky enough to get a copy for review (which will be up on Fresh Fiction soon).

But I did create a mood board to share:

Which shares the setting: Cape Cod

There's a very important scene with Coconut Cake

A large dog named Zeus

Lillie, the main character, is a midwife. And she enjoys cooking for her family. 

It's a way for her to show love.

But then there's this one:

Now I'm not going to ruin the run here - but keep this one in mind while you read.

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. It gave me ALL The feels.

Bookstagram (7): The Path to Sunshine Cove

I really enjoyed this book set in Cape Sanctuary (book 2 in the series).

I loved Jess and how she helped people declutter/downsize/clean the house after the death of a loved one.

I really loved the meet cute between Jess and Nate.

I loved Nate's daughter, the sister relationship healing, and the scenery sounded amazing.

Grab this one if you haven't yet! RaaAnne Thayne is one of my favorites!

Bookstagram (6) In a New York Minute

 

This book had such a funny (but terrible if it happened to you) meet cute!

And of course, someone took pictures. Which obviously went viral. And now Franny and Hayes keep meeting - sometimes the moments are awkward and sometimes sweet. 

Did fate have a hand in their meeting?

Bookstagram (5): Duke Gone Rogue

Today's post is the start of a new series.

Duke Gone Rogue

 

He's jilted and claimed to be heartless

In reality, he's trying to restore the family name

She's a gardener who loves her community

and owns her family business

They have a great meet cute...twice

Review: Made in Manhattan

 

Violet is a snob and a people pleaser. When her honorary grandmother asks her to help out, deep down she knows she will. Even if the task is helping Edith's newly discovered grandson become one of society's elite. 

Cain isn't interested in a make-over. He's not even sure he wants to fun the family company. But he's not running for the hills either. Cain is willing to take things step by step while giving Violet a hard time.

Violet's not one to back down from a challenge. But the more time she spends with Cain, the more she begins to realize that she likes him...just the way he is.

My Thoughts: I loved this reverse My Fair Lady story. I really liked how both characters made each other better and expanded each other's views. Two names I'm forgetting - the dog and Violet's best friend. I loved Cain's interaction with the dog. I loved Violet's best friend prodding Violet to go outside her comfort zone. I loved the banter between Cain and Violet. Cain was so grumpy through most of the book that he reminded me of Roy Kent from Ted Lasso. Another great read from Lauren Layne.

Cover Thoughts: Charming
