Walking on Hidden Wings by Rachel Scott McDaniel

About the Book:

Geneva Ashcroft Hayes’s marriage to a newspaper mogul might have been arranged, but the New York socialite is devastated when her husband’s plane crashes a few short months after their nuptials. When the authorities suspect murder, Geneva sets out on a wild mission to find his killer–and to prove it wasn’t her!

When mysterious notes surface pointing to Geneva’s guilt in his death, they only strengthen her resolve. She has little to go on except for a detective friend’s cryptic list of locations connected to her dead spouse. When the friend also disappears, she trades her sparkling gowns for coveralls and pilot goggles.

Armed with a new name and career as a wingwalker and barnstormer, she travels from town to town in hopes of unearthing clues and locating her missing friend. But Geneva discovers that her past may not belong to her . . . what she once believed as truth may be nothing more than lies and deception.

My Thoughts:

Wow! I am not sure I can sum up in words how absolutely fantastic this story is. It has everything a romance loving heart could want and so much more. This story is so captivating and once you start you will not want to put it down. I loved how this book read almost like a split time novel, featuring the characters 5 months prior in flash back scenes. It worked seamlessly and added so much context to the characters situation! The romance in this story is everything!! I loved Warren, I loved Geneva, I loved them together! I hated them apart! Gosh! No spoilers, but this story has epic levels of romantic chemistry between the characters! The mystery angle will keep you guessing and turning the pages! This story is absolutely flawless. I think it is my new favorite from Rachel McDaniel and that is saying something because all of her books are truly amazing. Rachel’s stories just give me the romance warm fuzzy’s the way a classic movie does and that is why I just gravitate towards her writing so much. Definitely pick up this story! It’s going on my favorites list for the year!

The Parenting Pact by Jordan Millsaps

About The Book:

I’ve been parenting my son on my own for five years since my husband passed.

But now that I’ve started my own interior design business, I’m beginning to realize I could use some extra help. What I need is a partner, someone to share the day-to-day logistics of running a house, raising a kid, and operating my business.

What I don’t need is to complicate my life with romance, no matter what my best friend says.

When I meet Chris, a single dad from my neighborhood, I get a crazy idea. My plan is definitely outside the box, but I think we can make it work – as long as I can keep things platonic.

But Chris is patient, persistent, passionate…all the P-words that make staying only friends harder than I thought it would be.

My Thoughts:

I absolutely adored this book. It was everything I wanted it to be.

The characters were real and genuine, and the love story was sweet. I really felt like this romance developed in a natural way, which made the story seem believable, and I really loved that. There were pops of humor sprinkled into the story, which gave the story a bit of lightness, even though they were dealing with the lingering Bit of grief. The children in the story really added to the story. Sometimes when kids are added to a story, they don’t seem believable they don’t seem real however, these kids actually added fun humor and realness to this plot. I loved that The characters had so much growth from the beginning of this book to the conclusion. Chris was a great character. He was super sweet and just the kind of guy that any girl would fall for. Maddie was likable, and it was easy to see how Chris fell for her swiftly. She was capable and kind and she had a natural way with kids. I also really loved that. Maddie and Chris both had a great sense of humor and we’re able to relate to each other with humor. I have absolutely no complaints. This story was fantastic. I am now off to read book one in this series, because I had no idea there was a book one and now I’m excited! I would definitely recommend this author to romance fans or fans of romcom. The story was super sweet and really sucked me in right from the first pages. It absolutely did not disappoint.
