The Color of Heaven by EV Mitchell

Sophie Duncan is a successful columnist whose world falls apart after her daughter’s unexpected illness and her husband’s shocking affair. When it seems nothing else could possibly go wrong, her car skids off an icy road and plunges into a frozen lake. In the cold dark depths of the water, Sophie experiences something extraordinary-something that unlocks the secrets from her past.

This was a great read. It  and brought tears and memories of lost loves. Megan was very heartbreaking as was Mike. It was nice to know that Sofia was able to find love and her mother.

True Confessions by Rachel Gibson

Ever wonder who writes those outrageous tabloid stories -- the ones about Elvis touring the solar system with aliens and disappearing airplanes in the Bermuda Triangle? Meet Hope Spencer, a big-city reporter who got sick and tired of prying into real people's lives, and decided far-out fiction was a whole lot easier to handle. Now reality is just a starting point for Hope, and she's eager for new places, new people, and new experiences that she can transform into the stuff of checkout counter fantasy. The sexy sheriff of Gospel, Idaho, reminds Hope that reality does have some advantages, though Dylan Taber's heart-stopping physique and country-boy charm are practically too good to be true. Lies may be profitable, but even Hope knows they're not a good basis for a relationship. Still, the one thing she's absolutely sure of is that Dylan is no more eager than she is for True Confessions -- yet. Meanwhile, she'll just have to take heart in the fact that the handsome sheriff says he's raising his son alone because the boy's mama is an angel, and he's willing to accept on faith the news that Hope is being stalked by a disgruntled leprechaun. With all that going for them, Dylan might find a way to mesh his reality with Hope's fantasy after all.
I love reading Rachel Gibson, her stories are light and easy. This one ended a little too soon and I would have liked for the characters to develop a little more.

This was a good book and what you expect from Rachel Gibson. I like to read her books before bed, they make for happy dreams.

Hope and Dylan are fun characters and I would have liked to gotten to know Adam a little better.

A Scottish Ferry Tale by Nancy Volkers

Once upon a time, a young woman had her heart broken. She was cynical enough to close the door on love, but idealistic enough not to lock it. Instead, she escaped to an island off Scotland's west coast, where she met someone who might change her life, if she would only allow it. Does she? And who is this life-changing person, anyway? Are there any dragons? Fairy godmothers? Chocolate cake? And is there a happily ever after? Hey....is this a *kissing* book?!

  

I found this book on an ad link on Goodreads and thought I'd give it a try. I loved this book. I have been in love with Scotsmen since reading 'Outlander' and can't seem to get enough of them.

This was such a fun book to read and had me looking up the areas in Scotland.

Can't wait for the sequel.

The Best Laid Plans by Lynn Schnurnberger

 Tru Newman has an enviable life, a famous best friend, a wealthy husband, and well-behaved twin daughters. Her biggest problem to date is living in the shadow of her overbearing ex-beauty-queen mother. All of that comes to a crashing halt when Tru discovers that her husband has been secretly unemployed for more than three months. When the economy crashes, Tru is forced to go back to work and chooses an unlikely profession: she starts a call-girl service featuring women over 40. Tru’s travails are told in a light, breezy tone combined with an endless stream of up-to-the-minute pop-culture references. A deeper novel might try and make connections between Tru’s work as a madam and her husband’s work as an investment banker, but this frothy tale is pure wish fulfillment. After all, although the novel is clearly set in 2010, Tru lives in a world where long-term married couples easily forgive major betrayals to have hot sex in the elevator, young men pay to sleep with fortysomething women, and Cher arrives at a reunion to make everyone’s problems disappear.



This was a cute book. The beginning of the book really kept you interested. If you are looking for a light read, try this one.
