Carolina Breeze

GIVEAWAY

HUNTER, DENISE
CAROLINA BREEZE

A jilted bride. A struggling innkeeper. And a romantic mountain getaway that changes everything.

Rising Hollywood star Mia Emerson is looking for a safe place to land in the wake of a public breakup and scandal, and she finds it in the lake town of Bluebell, North Carolina -- the location of her canceled honeymoon. She wants nothing more than to hide and wait for the tabloids to die down.

Soon after her arrival at the Bluebell Inn, Mia meets Levi Bennett, who runs the inn along with his two younger sisters. Drawn to one another from the start, Mia trusts Levi to keep her location from the press, and Levi confides in Mia about the financial state of the inn -- a secret he's been keeping from his sisters.

When Mia and Levi discover an old journal that hints at a rare diamond necklace hidden in the inn, they set off on a treasure hunt to find the long-lost heirloom. What they don't expect to surface are feelings they thought were safely locked away. Mia and Levi must decide if falling in love again is too big a risk -- or if it will uncover a treasure of its own instead.

My Review:

True confession: I don't fancy celebrity story lines. At all. In fact, I'll usually avoid these books at all cost. Not sure why I have such an aversion -- just not into the whole idolizing a star and the superficial lifestyle and the glam...well, just, blech! :-) BUT this is Denise Hunter and I've read the first Bluebell Inn Romance book so I was dithering and then a bunch of Good Reads friends started waxing poetical about it and I decided to quit toe-dabbling and take the plunge.

Honestly, what would I do without GR buddies to shake me out of my readerish rut every once in a while? Because...ta da!!!!... I LOVED this book! I even loved Mia and I thought I'd have trouble connecting with her but, nope, she and I became besties right away and when we arrived at Bluebell Inn and Levi greeted us...woooheeee...one of us fell hard and fast and collapsed on her fainting couch. That would be me. Mia was a bit of a romantical late bloomer but she had some serious life distractions so I gave her a pass. And I did enough swooning for both us until she could catch up. :-)

Because...Levi! He has major big brother syndrome that is both endearing and infuriating. And he has this deeply rooted protective instinct that goes into overdrive when it becomes apparent Mia could use some help. Be still my heart. He's half Neanderthal and half enlightened 21st century man and sometimes they clash with delightful results. This is the kind of soul-searching, deeply layered love story that Denise Hunter does so well. Be prepared for some emotional sucker-punching!

Loved the page time we get with Levi's sisters as well. I am so invested in this family and their quest to fulfill their deceased parents' dream. Love the banter and the angst and the just plain ordinary sibling stuff going on between them. But they always have each other's back -- even know-it-all big brother Levi who thinks that means he gets to dictate his sisters' lives. Yeah, that goes over about as well as you think it would.

Don't worry if you missed the first book in this series (but you really should pick it ups sometime!) Carolina Breeze reads brilliantly as a standalone. Hunter has this knack for pulling her readers in and making them feel a part of things right away.

An emotional contemporary romance  full of faith, family and hard worn happily-ever-afters.

Carol Award Finalists 2020 -- Contemporary Category

GIVEAWAY

First off -- what exactly are the Carol Awards?

They are awards given out by American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) in recognition of outstanding Christian Fiction in the previous calendar year. So these 2020 finalists are books published in 2019. You might have read them already. You might not. As it happens, I've actually read two of these contemporary novels. I'll include a link to my review in the description.

How does this giveaway work?

You select which of the three Carol Award Finalist 2020 Contemporary novels you would like to receive if your name is drawn. Mention the title in your comment (or an email, if you're entering that way.) If you win, that's the book that will be sent to you. Easy Peasy. Here are the three finalists:

The Death of Mungo Blackwell by Lauren H. Brandenburg, Lion Fiction (Monarch Publishing), editor Jessica Gladwell

The Blackwells are a family with an extraordinary history and astounding traditions, which include attending their own funerals before they die! Their ways are questionable and their stories about deceased relatives are as bold as their red hair, but it is their eclectic wares that keep tourists coming back to their market in the town of Coraloo.

Charlie Price, whose world has come crumbling down after a lapse in judgement leaves him unemployed, finds himself flung into the chaotic world of the Blackwells when he relocates to Coraloo with his socialite wife, Velveteen, and shy son, Gideon. Here Charlie attempts to make a living as a 'picker', reselling under-priced items he picks up at the market. Some of the Blackwells welcome him with open arms, but others resent pickers and want him thrown out of the market.

Charlie soon finds this new way of life under threat and his quest for simplicity seems to be crumbling. Perhaps it's time for Charlie to have a funeral of his own! This charming story of hope will warm your heart and make your imagination soar.

On a Summer Tide by Suzanne Woods Fisher, Revell -- a Division of Baker Publishing Group, editors Barb Barnes and Andrea Doering.

Sometimes love hurts -- and sometimes it can heal in the most unexpected way.

Camden Grayson loves her challenging career, but the rest of her life could use some improvement. "Moving on" is Cam's mantra. But there's a difference, her two sisters insist, between one who moves on and one who just keeps on moving.

Cam's full-throttle life skids to a stop when her father buys a remote island off the coast of Maine. Paul Grayson has a dream to breathe new life into the island -- a dream that includes reuniting his estranged daughters. Certain Dad has lost his mind, the three sisters rush to the island. To Cam's surprise, the slow pace of island life appeals to her, and so do the locals. One in particular: Seth Walker, the scruffy island schoolteacher, who harbors more than a few surprises.

The Printed Letter Bookshop by Katherine Reay, Harper Collins Christmas Publishing, editors Jocelyn Bailey and Jodi Hughes

Love, friendship, and family find a home at the Printed Letter Bookshop.

One of Madeline Cullen's happiest childhood memories is of working with her Aunt Maddie in the quaint and cozy Printed Letter Bookshop. But by the time Madeline inherits the shop nearly twenty years later, family troubles and her own bitter losses have hardened Madeline's heart toward her once-treasured aunt -- and the now struggling bookshop left in her care.

While Madeline intends to sell the shop as quickly as possible, the Printed Letter's two employees have other ideas. Reeling from a recent divorce, Janet finds sanctuary within the books and within the decadent window displays she creates. Claire, though quieter than the acerbic Janet, feels equally drawn to the daily rhythms of the shop and its loyal clientele, finding a renewed purpose within its walls.

When Madeline's professional life falls apart, and a handsome gardener upends all her preconceived notions, she questions her plans and her heart. Has she been too quick to dismiss her aunt's beloved shop? And even if she has, the women's best combined efforts may be too little too late.

The Printed Letter Bookshop is a captivating story of good books, a testament to the beauty of new beginnings, and a sweet reminder of the power of friendship.

Mousse and Murder

GIVEAWAY

LOGAN, ELIZABETH
MOUSSE AND MURDER

A young chef might bite off more than she can chew when she returns to her Alaskan hometown to take over her parents' diner in this charming first installment in a new cozy mystery series set in an Alaskan tourist town.

When Chef Charlie Cooke is offered the chance to leave San Francisco and return home to Elkview, Alaska, to take over her mother's diner, she doesn't even consider saying no. After all -- her love life has recently become a Love Life Crumble, and a chance to reconnect with her roots may be just what she needs.

Determined to bring fresh life and flavors to the Bear Claw Diner, Charlie starts planning changes to the menu, which has grown stale over the years. But her plans are fried when her head cook Oliver turns up dead after a bitter and public fight over Charlie's ideas -- leaving Charlie as the only suspect in the the case.

With her career, freedom and life all on thin ice, Charlie must find out who the real killer is, before it's too late.

My Review:

I can honestly say I've never read a cozy mystery set in Alaska and, since I have a not-so-secret fascination with that state, I was kinda slap-happy giddy over discovering this first book in the Alaskan Diner Mystery series. And this new-to-me-author does not disappoint when it comes to making a reader feel like she's experiencing all that is wild and wonderful about Alaska. If you like to armchair travel through your fiction, this is definitely the book for you.

Love the way Logan has set the stage for this series -- great secondary characters with the diner being a central meeting place and therefore perfect for sleuthing. Also love that Charlie doesn't sleuth alone -- she has a journalist (and potential love interest?) friend who is just as eager to suss out the killer.

And there's a cat! What? You're not surprised? Well, you will be with the way Charlie interacts with him. She raises dedicated pet parenthood to a whole other level with very amusing results. In fact, that's another thing I love about this series -- the author has a deft comedic hand and that kept me grinning all the way through.

Oh -- and I absolutely appreciate that this book is a clean read!

A solid mystery with an admittedly bumbling though eager amateur sleuth who has enough grit and determination to expose a killer.

I'll send winners an email stating their book and publication date and also requesting a mailing address (or notification that you would prefer an ebook and confirmation of email address to send it to) so that I have everything ready for release day! Then I will email you once the book has been ordered.

LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK'S GIVEAWAYS:

So, I have news. (Am I chatty today or what?!) CC gave me the idea last week. They've just announced this year's American Christian Fiction Writers Carol Awards finalists and I was surprised at the number of books unfamiliar to me (hanging my head in abject bibliophile shame.) 

But, I thought it would be fun to do a genre specific Carol Awards giveaway every Monday throughout the summer. Each category has three finalists, which I will list in my blog post. If I've read any of them I'll also post a link to my review, but, like I said, I haven't read a lot of them. So you would enter the title of the book you'd like to win in the comment section and if your name is drawn that's the book I'll send you. 

Am I making any sense? Probably not, my brain has been fried by all the tallying and random numbering. I'll try for a better explanation on Monday. Which leads me to what will be on offer that day:

Contemporary Category:
