I really enjoyed reading this book! The setting of Prince Edward Island is serene and picturesque!

The characters are fabulous! I love their personalities! Susan has a real gift for writing characters that are easy to like! Molly is my absolute favorite! She's humble, a hard worker, and lovely on the inside and out! Peter is hunkaliscious! New word that I made up! He's also humble, a true servant, and loyal.

The love story is sweet! There is a bit of a mystery, and I liked how it played out.
A definite must read!… (meer)

I love historical novels and have read many set during WWII. This one was set at the onset of WWI and it was very interesting to learn about cryptography. I will say that a lot of it went over my head and I skimmed a bit because I couldn’t understand it. But the actual storyline was good and it kept me guessing with a few twists. There’s romance and it was done well, not to sickening, just enough for me.

I encourage you to read the Author’s Notes at the end and learn what events/places were real and what was not.… (meer)

This is the second historical ChristFic Christmas romance novella I've read in a row. I was quite drawn to the fact that this one features a couple in their autumn years.

This was my first time trying this author, and I found Amelia and Lennox's journey to have a simplicity and down-to-earth sweetness about it. Pleasant to read about, not too corny or saccharine.

On a minor note, some of the story's details seem either a little inconsistent or repetitive in a couple of spots, and I didn't much care for Helen's character. I understand she's been deeply hurt in the past, but the level of her rude and stubborn behavior over it makes me suspect she may often be like that about other matters that upset her too.

Nevertheless, I found this to be an easy and agreeable tale overall, and I plan to read more by this author.… (meer)

3.5 stars (rating shown may vary depending on whether site allows half star ratings).

This is (at the moment) the last book in the Maine Justice series (though the author did say at the end that she might add to the series in the future).

I didn't find this book as compelling as some in the series. I can't put a finger on why.

The first plot point occurs when a teenage girl approaches Harvey at a restaurant claiming he is her father. Harvey is sure he is not and suggests a DNA test, but before he can do much investigation into her claim, Harvey is pulled into the suspicious disappearance of his brother-in-law, Peter.

I liked how everyone rallied to help find Peter. Not just family, but Harvey's coworkers and even the bank manager too. I do think this series has done a good job at showing that police work is not how the hour-long TV shows depict with everything neatly wrapped up at the end of the show but rather a series of tracking down leads, gathering information, and putting the puzzle together.… (meer)
