I felt like this story had a little bit more depth and texture exploring Piper’s identity as a transracial adoptee making her own way in the horse racing space. I also love how Toni integrates faith and values into her character’s inner dialogue. ...more

Wooowww. I didn’t think that I would love this even more than Before I Let Go. As a stay at home mom, I could relate too Soledad’s experiences. I loveWooowww. I didn’t think that I would love this even more than Before I Let Go. As a stay at home mom, I could relate too Soledad’s experiences. I love watching how she evolved and stepped up to the plate in devastating circumstances to take care of herself and her kids, and as a result coming further into her own. I also appreciated how much communication and care was demonstrated with her relationship with Judah but also Judah’s co-parenting relationship with Tremaine. This book deserved every bit of hype it gets and then MORE. ...more

This was my first cowboy romance, and I didn't hate it! I have a thing for small-town romances, and the storyline was cute as it followed Emmy Ryder as she re-learned how to ride horses after her freak accident with the help of her brother's best friend Luke Books. This was definitely a little bit spicier, but it's easy to skip over those scenes, as they didn't add much to the plot. I also didn't care for the language either, but other than that it was a cute story!...more
To live and to love is an invitation and a choice — a lesson that Daphne had to learn and a lesson that we can all glean from. This was the first bookTo live and to love is an invitation and a choice — a lesson that Daphne had to learn and a lesson that we can all glean from. This was the first book by Rebecca Serle that while magical, the takeaway felt tangible. I listened to this on Libby, but I am looking forward to adding it to my personal library to reread again. ...more

I was so excited to read this, but this unfortunately did not meet my expectations. I loved the plot but all the footnotes were excessive, especially having to constantly click on them using my Kindle, and on top of that, they were unnecessary to the plot. If you’re going to read this, go ahead and listen to it on audio. I started listening to it at about 66%, and I enjoyed it much better that way. Also, it took way too long for the story to pick up. At 50%, I wanted to DNF, but curiosity made me finish. All in all, it was okay. It would probably do better as a film....more
