Excerpt:
I have no clue whatsoever as to The Author of the one and only love letter I’ve ever received. I’ve neglected my love life, giving all of my attention to Lockwood Cabins. Now I realize what a mistake that has been. When I read the letter, I’m filled with sensations I didn’t know existed.

It’s as if I can physically feel the depth behind his words. I’m taken away to another world and I just want to float away, wrapped in his love.

The Author’s words are flowery and eloquent, stirring and moving. They’re as lyrical and achingly sweet as a few strokes from a violin.

Violin words.

Yes.

My letter is filled with violin words. All meant for me. And I love them.

A few simple chords from a violin inspires soul soaring emotion within me and leaves me breathless. Somehow the sound speaks to me and I have to close my eyes and thank God that I’m alive, if only to hear such a precious sound.

But when I read my love letter, my reaction is the same. Words alone have never had this effect on me. Plain and simple words—twenty-six letters all strung together in thousands of combinations—and together they form the most beautiful thoughts. I hold the letter to my chest and absorb the love.

It’s the sweetest torture, the most exquisite agony. I welcome it. To feel is to live, I know that now.

Wow. Just wow. Are those violin words really directed toward me? I always figured I’d meet someone and get married one day. But never in my wildest dreams did I imagine a man would speak to me like that. It sends a thrill through my body. Every time.

EVERYONE SHOULD READ VIOLIN WORDS!  It is the perfect little Christmas romance with a dash of mystery and suspense to start your holiday reading.   Violin Words is the perfect book to get you ready for a little Christmas magic! 

Must read suspense thriller!

I love a good thriller and this book is full of deception, lies, and suspense. This book certainly defines a suspense thriller and the fascination and excitement to keep reading just so you can discover what happens is non-stop. There are certainly unpredictable, mysterious, and unlikable characters but they make this story fantastic. In fact, I may not like any of the characters but the character building and simplicity of the some the characters intrigued me enough that I could not put this book down. I can certainly see this book being transformed into a movie or some type of entertainment. It is hard to discuss this book without giving anything away so the best discussion I can have is that everyone needs to read this book! It is truly a book that is hard to put down. I love that this book is from three different points of views and certainly adds a different perspective to each character and adds another twist as you read! I enjoyed the epilogue at the end that leaves you pondering just like the rest of the book did! Great job Marti Green!

Fun Mystery

This was the first book I have read by Ann Swann and it certainly will not be the last. She is an excellent writer who does a fantastic job with character building. I truly felt like I had just finished watching a movie after reading her book. The characters are well described and the scenes are set vividly. This book was especially fun since it was set in the late 90's, in the days before cell phones and internet accessibility. 

Matt and Gabi are seniors and have been in class together all year. They live in Texas and it's 1999. They decide to go to prom together and one dance was all it took to feel the instant connection. Things take a horrible turn after Prom leaving life forever changed for Gabi. She begins to travel to different places with new adventures and possible new love interest. Gabi can not let go of the mystery of what happened back in Texas especially after Matt's cousin, Rose makes her appearance. Gabi returns to Texas to see if she can find out who is responsible for the remains at the pond and it leaves you guessing to the very end! I loved how this book builds the mystery and you wonder throughout the entire book until it comes full circle!

Fun and Cozy Read

I absolutely love Heather's writing. I have read several of her books and different types of books and her writing is always entertaining and inviting to read. Where I Belong is an appealing and captivating modern day fairy tale even with Jane owning her own cleaning company. 

Jane moves back to Pine Valley to take care of her diabetic father and starts her own cleaning company. Jane's parents are divorced and her father lives in a nursing home. Jane's interactions with the other residents at the nursing home adds another element to her fun loving personality. 

Cameron is currently in a relationship; however, they don't seem like the perfect match. Cameron comes from a wealthy family and his father is a pompous, self-absorbed man but Cameron has a kind heart and full of emotions. Cameron's mom is spunky and will make you laugh out loud a couple times, especially concerning Cameron's girlfriend, Crystal. 

This story is a sweet and sentimental story that is a quick easy read. It certainly has a happy ending with a lot of twists to get to the end. True love does find its way to the end and there is also an appearance of Jeff from Worth the Risk, the first book in this series. I really hope we get to see more of the characters from Where I Belong in the 3rd book!

Compelling and Emotional Story

This story certainly makes you stop and think throughout the entire book. It not only is a story that teenagers in high school can relate to but even as adults we face insecurities and consequences of these insecurities. Tia Souders did a wonderful job unfolding this complex matter. Grace is a high school student who was generally merry, very artistic, and attentive to her friendships. Cara is her best friend and her brother Jake has been in love with Grace for years. Grace also has a twin named Kelly. I would have loved a little more perspective and character building on Kelly but it really wasn't necessary for the story to unfold. 

Grace attended a weight loss program and quickly changed her attitude and personality. She began to hang out with new friends and she had the pressure to date the quarterback and to possibly become prom queen. She was often concerned and has a false sense of reality when she would hear her new friends talk about how overweight some people were and was afraid that she was still overweight. Grace slowly drifted from her friendship with Cara and Jake. Her family doesn't really help until the end and really never intervened. 

Grace often could not see her true self when she looked in the mirror. She always felt like she was too big or had put on weight even though she was well below a 100 lbs. but still thinks she is fat. She often seem to feel as though she did not measure up to the pressure of society and could not see her true self. 

This story starts at the end of the story and then it takes you to the beginning which is fun to read. Tia Souders did a great job with the writing and appeal to want to see what happens. Sometimes it takes true friendship and the boy next door to see the magnificence in the mirror and the reality of life. Often times we put too much emphasis on outer beauty and skip the inner beauty which is most important. We are all created differently and serve different purposes. The pressure put on us is often from others dreams of us and not our on individual desires and dreams. 

I received this book for an honest review.

The cover of this book totally made me want to review this book. I think Kate did a fabulous job describing how we as moms get caught in trying to be the perfect mother and wife and so often God has greater plans for us. We need to take our eyes off of social medial and society and focus on being the Daughter of the King and what He has in store for us. This book is filled with encouragement and inspiration and just made me laugh as I read this book. Being the perfect mother is impossible and as soon as we realize that being the mom that God created us to be we are able to get past perfect and enjoy what we have been given. There are a lot of Catholic references but anyone can read this book and have totally understanding and enjoyment. I received this book to review and totally enjoyed reviewing it.         

If your looking for a light hearted, fast, fun beach read then this is the book for you. Actually if you enjoy a clean contemporary romance book then you would certainly enjoy this book. Eric and Jayla are fun characters that Rachel Matthews does a wonderful job in their character development and truly getting to know these two individuals.

Eric is a business man that is a widow and does not want to love again or even explore the possibilities. He is often detached, distant or hardhearted towards women that he meets. Jayla is an energetic, authentic, positive and heartfelt photographer. She has a strong passion for her photography, especially the possibility of an amazing job in Rio. The writer does a great job of world building and describing the scenery of Rio, California and New York.

Little does Jayla know that this potential job is a set up by Eric and he has an important question to ask her. Eric needs Jayla's help to satisfy his potential investors for a job in Rio. Pretending can only go so far because there is a connection between Jayla and Eric. There is not only a connection emotionally but also physically. This is certainly a case of opposites attract. Will Jayla help soften Eric's hard heart and open the door up for love?

While this book is pretty predictable it is still enjoyable to read. There are some discrepancies throughout the book but just in some of the little details. I did receive this book for an honest review from ebooks.
