Synopsis:
A gift of warmth to heal two hearts…
Sarah Smith in Pine Hill, Kentucky has had her heart broken in the past. She pours herself into her work at church and into special projects—like making a quilt for a wounded warrior.
Bodie Lewis is lost. All he’s ever wanted was his career as an Army Ranger, but he was injured in an explosion that killed his brothers in arms. In the hospital, he receives a handmade quilt. Later, he sets out on his final mission: to find and thank its maker.
Bodie expected Sarah to be an elderly lady, not a lovely young woman. When she mistakes him for a handyman, he doesn’t immediately set her straight. Instead, he sets about repairing the home she’s turning into a bed and breakfast. Sarah’s presence and the spirit of the small town bring Bodie something he thought he’d left far behind on the battlefield: hope.
This heartwarming sweet romance includes a free quilt pattern from the Quilts of Valor Foundation and a new original Hallmark recipe for Cinnamon Swirl Bread.
My Thoughts:
This is another sweet/small town Hallmark that will be a classic. This is my first time reading a book by Janice Lynn but I hope it’s not the last time.

Bodie expected Sarah to be an elderly lady, not a lovely young woman. He mistakes one of the elderly Butterflies to be Sarah and when he finds her to be the twenty-something young woman he is surprised. When she in turn mistakes him for a handyman, he doesn’t immediately set her straight. Instead, he sets about repairing the home she’s turning into a bed and breakfast. Sarah’s presence and the spirit of the small town bring Bodie something he thought he’d left far behind on the battlefield: hope.Between the Elderly ladies known as the Butterflies and Sarah, Bodie’s heart couldn’t be in better hands.
I really liked this new Hallmark Romance title and look forward to it releasing as a Hallmark/Hallmark Movies and Mysteries movie.The addition of the quilt pattern as well as the requisite recipe are just wonderful additions to this book.
I gave this book 4.5 of 5.0 stars for characterization and story line.
I received a complimentary ARC copy to read via NetGalley and I voluntarily left a review of this book.

SCOTTISH MEDIEVAL HISTORICAL ROMANCE
Review Coming Soon!
SYNOPSIS:
Known as the King Maker, Ada MacQuerrie yearns to wed for love and not the magical gift she possesses. But her ruthless stepbrother doesn’t care what she wants; he just needs her to marry one of his treacherous allies. When an attempt to escape his control and save those she loves goes awry, Ada is forced to choose a husband from the miscreants who’ve come to align themselves with him. All seems lost until a compelling latecomer displays unexpected honor. But is the mysterious Highlander another treasonous Scot simply trying to seduce and manipulate her, or is the man they call Wolf the ally she’s been hoping for?
William MacLean has spent years shouldering the shame of his father’s and brother’s alleged treason against the king. So when the chance to exonerate his family presents itself, he willingly woos an unwanted bride who has the power to topple his enemies. A seemingly simple plan. Except William has survived by keeping others at a distance, and his new wife is not the calculating enemy he expected but a bold, brave beauty he fears could become his greatest weakness.
When passion flares between them, Ada cannot suppress the hope that her dreams could come true. Yet the closer she tries to get to William, the more he withdraws. It’s not until justice is within his grasp and his enemies take Ada from him that he realizes the demons dwelling within him can only be conquered by the light his wife offers. But is it too late to surrender his heart to the woman who already holds it?

She stirs something inside him he thought long dead… hope.
As Mary recovers from her ordeal in his home, the truth slowly emerges. Their pasts are intermingled, the intrigues and mysteries of their lives are connected and hide unspeakable horrors committed by common enemies. As they work together to reunite Mary with her brother and to prove Alex’s innocence, their feelings for one another only grow more complex and more undeniable.
However, the course of true love never does run smooth, and there are more obstacles and dangers ahead of them than behind…
