Stolen from Her Mother by Rachel Wesson

 This story revolves around two different couples in different countries:


Carol and Josh are married and he is involved in the military.  They are unable to have children.  Kate is a single lady in Ireland who goes to live with her uncle and cousin and meets a military man named Tony.  Obviously, there is a child at the heart of this story.  


It takes a while for the story to develop to the point where the child is "stolen" from the mother.  The time period in the 1940's was extremely disappointing to see how the church treated unwed mothers.  It was almost disturbing to read the things that happened to these poor women and their children.


I really enjoyed the characters Carol, Josh, Kate, Alan and the heart that they have for each other.


Thanks so much to netgalley and publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.

The Summer of Songbirds by Kristy Woodson Harvey

  This book makes me want to send my daughter to summer camp :). I loved the stories of the songbirds and the strength of their friendships through the highs and lows of life. I enjoyed how the friends had each other do their hard things too. My favorite characters were Finn, Paola, June, Huff and Steven. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.

No Romancing the Passengers by Lee Wimmer

 I enjoyed the mystery and suspense in this book.  I also enjoyed the idea behind the cruise and how the passengers all enjoyed each other.   The stuff about dream walking was different for me and gave me something to think about.  There is another book after this one so everything is not tied up neatly at the end.  I enjoyed the characters Miguel, Mike and Willie. Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.
