Her Hometown Dream by Rachelle Paige Campbell

Are you a fan of books set in small towns? If so, then you may want to give Her Hometown Dream by Rachelle Paige Campbell a try.


Amy Parker has come home. What Amy doesn't know is if her homecoming is a temporary two-week trip between jobs or if she should come back for good. When her dream house comes on the market, she believes God is telling her to come home for good. 

At the same time, the tenth anniversary of Jake Grant's best friend dying in a tragic accident is fast approaching. He is working to create a charity to honor him but he doesn't have all the skills he needs to set it up. Amy could be the one to help him--but he has to forgive Amy for what he sees as her part in his friend's passing. 

Amy had a crush on Jake years ago. Can they heal the past and form a relationship?

Her Hometown Dream is a nice, clean read if you like to read about interpersonal relationships in a small town. Amy had a crush on Jake since high school but I didn't really feel a lot of chemistry there. The plot was slow moving and mainly does focus on the interpersonal relationships with other people Amy knows i town. There is a bit of a mystery but it is soon solved. The ending also felt a bit rushed. I like happy endings but I didn't quite follow this one. I also struggled with the lack of warmth in Amy's relationships and with some of the struggles didn't seem realistic to me. But again, if interpersonal relationship struggles are something you like to read about as the main focus of a book, then Home to Harmony may be just what you are looking for.

I purhased a copy of this book to review for JustRead Tours. All opinions within this review are my own.

  Loyally, Luke by Pepper Basham is the third book in the epistolary series following Authentically, Izzy and Positively, Penelope.I have been anxiously awaiting this book and pretty much squealed when it came in the mail! Luke Edgewood is a guy who works in the construction industry and has remodeling skills. He wears flannel and he likes his dogs and he likes his sisters--but he isn't romantic like they are. Or so he says.In Loyally, Luke, Luke goes to Skymar to work a construction job on a orphanage that happens to be in a castle. He also has a run-in with a Princess as he comes in to the country with a migraine in desparate need of coffee--so yeah, that didn't go so well. Later, he finds out that the Grace Kelly look-alike coffee snob is also his co-worker on the orphanage project.Thus begins his own adventure in Skymar, following Izzy and Penelope.  I really enjoyed Loyally, Luke . I enjoyed this whole series. I do think the series is best enjoyed read in order to truly a...

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Love Overboard by Shannon Sue Dunlap, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours ! My Review: Four older women retire and live year-round on a cruise ship. Together, they are called The Shippers, and they are the matchmakers on the ship. Lacey Anderson is the ship's hostess and Jonathan King is the Cruise director of the ship. Lacey and Jonathan knew each other from another ship. Sparks fly but there are some complications that seem to be difficult to overcome--but The Shippers are a determined group of ladies. At the same time, there is a mystery of who is smuggling cocaine on the cruise line. Are they on this ship? Love Overboard offers a mix of romance, humor, and mystery to the reader.

There was a couple of twists near the end of the book that I didn't ...
