      E.D. gave 5 stars to <a class="bookTitle" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/246066303-smoky-blue-sunrise">Smoky Blue Sunrise (The Elizabeth's Mountain Series #2)</a>

        A compelling, heartwarming sequel to Elizabeth's Mountain. This multi-POV follows Amanda, Jesse, and newcomer Jolie-Mae as they navigate life after Elizabeth. Guarino is a masterful storyteller who turns setting into character, approaches intense turmoil with compassion and honesty, and embraces found family, small towns, and transformative journeys.

&quot;The final episode of this series immediately draws you in to the story. The way Jackie is struggling with motherhood is relatable, especially with the transition from a working woman earning an income. The move to Block Island becomes inevitable, relying on her sister Joanie almost against her will. But Joanie is very busy, without the headspace to cope with her apparently difficult sister. The way the sisters learn to be with each other and other family members is well written, exploring honest communication, forgiveness and what a family actually is. A lovely read!<br />I received an ARC from the author via BookSirens, but my opinion is given voluntarily.&quot;

&quot;I loved this final book in the series. I had been looking forward to this one and hoped that I would be invited to be one of the ARC readers. ARC readers are given a pre-publication of the book. Each person agrees to give an honest review.<br /><br />The writing in this book pulled me in right away. Sometimes I was happily remembering cuddles with babies. Sometimes I was sobbing remembering my own postpartum depression days after my first child was born. Jackie’s was really difficult.<br />The book is so well-written and accurate that each complicated issue that popped up , whether it was baby-blues or facing the dynamics of prior mother-daughter situations were told in a way that made me cheer for each step toward reconciliation between a mom who really did try to do the best she knew how in raising her girls. Chris and Jackie faced and fought through the kind of things that make or break marriages and highlighted the importance of honest communication.<br />Each of these books Edy has written is amazing and i absolutely recommend this book along with her other books. I think that this the kind of book you read more than once to pick up anything you may have missed, at least I do. Give it a try. You won’t be sorry.&quot;

        <strong>perfect for newbies</strong><br /><br />I bought this ebook, which is filled with tips and tricks on how to write a cozy. Highly recommend. I wish I had ordered the paperback because I think I took 10 pages of notes. Maybe l’ll have to order a copy for easy reference.

      E.D. gave 4 stars to <a class="bookTitle" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/242533917-love-other-liabilities">Love &amp; Other Liabilities: One island, one ex, and a whole lot of complications (Kindle Edition)</a>

      <br/>
      

        Love and Other Liabilities is a cute, cozy romance that takes place on an island off the coast of Ireland.<br /><br />Lily and Luke have a history that is reawakened when she arrives at the island to handle her grandmother’s estate.<br /><br />My favorite part of this novel was the quirky townsfolk. The banter, personalities, and pub life brought this little island to life.<br /><br />If you are looking for a lighthearted feel-good read, this is a great book to check out. Lots of love, strife, and redemption.<br /><br />I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
