Chasing Christmas Eve

Chasing Christmas Eve by Jill Shalvis is the fourth book in her Heartbreaker Bay series. I think this was my favorite book in the series but I have loved them all so far.

Chasing Christmas Eve finally gives Spence a love story! He falls for Colbie who is an author that has escaped her hectic home life for a little last minute vacation. She has been busy doing everything for her family and finds herself needing to get away. She ends up in San Francisco where she has a very funny first encounter with the hero Spence.

I loved the growth of Colbie throughout the story as well as that of Spence. These two really seem perfect for each other. I also love that all of the previous characters in this series have a part. This includes Eddie and I loved his connection with Spence.


The second book in this series, The Trouble with Mistletoe, was made into a movie. I had reviewed that book previously here. The movie is available only on Passionflix. This is a new subscription service like Netflix but it specializes in romantic movies. There are a few original movies on the site including the Trouble with Mistletoe. I have loved them all including this movie. There are still not many options on the site but it is worth checking out for a month to binge watch what is available.

A List of Cages

I was inspired by the February Bookish Box to read A List Of Cages by Robin Roe. There is an option to receive a book with the box and this was the book that was chosen for the month of February. While I did not receive a book with my box, the title was included with everything else that I received. I have not cried this much over a book in a long time. It is so heartbreaking. I think this story fit very well with the theme of friendship. Julian lost his parents when he was 8 or 9 and was put into foster care with Adam and his mother for 8 months. After that he was taken to a long lost uncle by marriage who was very abusive. Adam and Julian reconnect after Adam is asked by the school psychologist to hang out with him and find out why he is missing class. They end up building a beautiful friendship. Julian who does not feel worthy of anything finds a place among Adam's group. I feel like there were still a lot of loose ends at the ending but it ends on a hopeful note. The story end...

Driftwood Bay

Driftwood Bay by Irene Hannon is a sweet and inspirational story. This is part of the Hope Harbor series but is the first one that I have read. I feel that this makes a good stand alone book but found myself becoming curious about the side characters in the story and would love to read the others in the series. Jeannette has created a new life for herself in the town of Hope Harbor. She owns a lavender farm and tea shop and spends most of her time alone. Her quiet world is shaken up when Logan moves in next door. Not only does he have a little girl, but also a trouble making dog that force their worlds to collide. Alongside the story of Jeannette and Logan is a beautiful and heartbreaking story of a family that has escaped persecution in Syria. Everyone in the story has their own heartbreak, but they all come together to create a new life and new relationships. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books from Irene Hannon.

Raven Cycle

I finally finished the Raven Cycle series! I really loved these books but just didn't have that much time to read in the last week so it took a long time for me to get these up. Even Goodreads was telling me that I was 1 book behind on my reading goal. Guess I need to get on that! These last two, Blue Lily, Lily Blue and The Raven King both by Maggie Stiefvater, were my favorites of the four. I really liked how the story developed for the entire group so they all had a chance to really find their own strengths. It felt like the magical component of the book seemed to grown with each one as well and that just made that even more fascinating. If you are looking for a book about friendships, love and magic then I highly recommend this series!
