When the Meadow Blooms by Ann H. Gabhart

When the Meadow Blooms by Ann H. Gabhart was one of the best books I have read recently and I’ve read quite a few. Rose is separated from her two daughters since she is recovering in the sanatorium from tuberculosis. Her precious daughters have been dropped off at an orphanage for far too long. The orphanage is not a pleasant experience. Rose thought she would be recovered by now. She has been estranged from her late husband’s family. Her brother-in-law, Dirk, could be her only hope. However he does not want others around due to his past hurts. Rose and her daughter, Calla, reach out for help at the same time unbeknownst to each other. Will Dirk help?

I could not put this book down! I was so drawn into the story. I think the plot and characters were amazing. I will be looking for more books by this author! I was given a free copy from the publisher for my honest review. I could not put the book down. I highly recommend. 

Sea Glass Cottage by Irene Hannon

Sea Glass Cottage is a book that I could not put down! I loved it. Christi is desperate. Once the rich socialite, she is now down on her luck. She arrives in Hope Harbor looking for Jack, hoping he can help. Jack is her last chance. But when you realize what she has done to Jack in the past, there is no way he will help her. Jack, on the other hand, has build a successful life for himself.  He is happy to continue his life without Christi, but he realizes he still has feelings for her. Enter one of the most interesting twists and you won't be able to put the book down.

Although the plot may be a little unrealistic, I did find it very enjoyable and could not stop reading. If I had a day to curl up in bed and read all day, I'd be holding this book. I was given a free copy from the publisher for my honest review which I was happy to do. I highly recommend.  

The Master Craftsman by Kelli Stuart

The Master Craftsman by Kelli Stuart is an excellent dual timeline historical fiction story. Join Alma Pihl, Karl Faberge and many others in the early 1900s at the House of Faberge as they create exquisite Russian eggs. The artwork is delicate and amzing.

However three generations later Nick Laine, a an accomplished treasure hunter is on his deathbed. His estranged daughter, Ava, and wife, Carol, have come to his bedside to say their final goodbyes. Nick desires to redeem his lost time with Ava and train her to be a treasure hunter. All is going well until….

This delightful dual timeline modern day and historical fiction is an amazing tale that will take you back and forth in historic Russia. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and highly recommend. I was given a free copy for my honest review which I was happy to do.
