Review of Cliff House

Book Summary Courtesy of Harlequin 

Three women—two sisters and their aunt—and the cliff house on the northern California coast that served as a beacon to them all…

After the death of their mother, sisters Daisy and Beatriz Davenport found a home with their aunt Stella in the beautiful and welcoming town of Cape Sanctuary. They never knew all the dreams that Stella sacrificed to ensure they had everything they’d ever need. Now, with Daisy and Bea grown, it’s time for Stella to reveal the secret she’s been keeping from them—a secret that will change their family forever.

Bea thought she’d sown all her wild oats when she got pregnant far too young. The marriage that followed was rocky and not destined to last, but it gave Bea her wonderful, mature, now eleven-year-old daughter, Marisol. But just as she’s beginning to pursue a new love with an old friend, Bea’s ex-husband resurfaces and turns their lives completely upside down.

Then there’s Daisy—sensible, rational, financially prudent Daisy. She’s never taken a risk in her life—until she meets a man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about life, love and the power of taking chances.

In this heartwarming story, Stella, Bea and Daisy will discover that the path to true happiness is filled with twists and turns, but love always leads them back home.

My Review 

I received an ARC of the Cliff House from the Publisher and Author in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. I am avid reader of RaeAnne Thayne and Contemporary Romance so when I got the opportunity to read this book I jumped at the chance. 

I think that RaeAnne did a great job of developing all of the characters. She had a great mix of female and male characters in this story whose personalities really made this story what it was. 

In addition to the characters I really enjoyed the storyline and how it was different from what she normally writes. It really grabbed me the reader from the very first page to the very end, I couldn't put it down. 

One thing that stood out to me in this book after reading it was that a sisters bond no matter what happens and you go through in life it is strong and you can always rely on them. 

I might be biased but I think that this is one of her best books yet. I think this book has drama, family, comedy, heartache and romance all wrapped into one. I can't wait to see what book she comes out with next. 

Review of Unforgettable You

Book Summary Courtesy of MIRA



Jada Brooks couldn’t have known how her life would change when she fell for bad boy Maddox Richardson back in high school. She couldn’t have known his troubled brother would leave hers forever crippled. Or that she’d be forced to shun Maddox completely—only to discover she was carrying his child.

Although Maddox was devastated by the events that transpired that fateful night, losing Jada was the worst of it. He’s back in Silver Springs, ready to move make amends and provide the kind of youth outreach that once saved him. If he’d known Jada was in town, too, he would never have come.


Jada has returned to Silver Springs to be with family after her father’s death. But when she sees Maddox, every tough decision she’s made concerning their now twelve-year-old daughter begins to haunt her. Falling for him again is so tempting, but not only does she stand to alienate her family—if he finds out about Maya, she could lose what matters most.


My Review


I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review from the publisher and the author. This is the fifth book in the Silversprings Brenda Novak series that I’ve read. I really enjoyed this book.

I found that the story was something new and different that I felt that she hadn’t done before or at least that I hadn’t read of hers before. I liked how she not only concentrated on the romance but also got deep into how Jada and Maddox’s family’s drama and how they were living since that tragic night.

I always feel that Brenda’s characters are always well developed on both the main and the supporting characters. I also liked that she interwove previous characters into the book so that you could catch up on them and hear what they’re up to. The story really had everything that a reader could want it had the romance, drama and family. I can’t wait to see what’s next in the series and what other books that Brenda has coming out this year.
