The Key to Love

 

 

The Key to Love is a sweet contemporary novel by Betsy St. Amant. 

Bri Duval lives in a small Kansas town named Story. As a hopeless romantic, her goal is to perfect her mothers macaroon recipes which holds Bri to her Mom's memory. Bri fills her days with dreams of Paris and the Love Locks, which have a wall in back of the Pastry Puff Bakery.

I loved the elderly matchmaking sisters, owners of the bakery. After the "love angels" story goes viral, travel magazine writer Gerard Fortier reluctantly comes to town to write a story about the bakery. His first encounter with Bri really made me laugh. Their arguments were very entertaining.  

The characters were interesting and well written. A sweet clean romance that unfolds with witty dialogue, and a compelling supporting cast.  Gerald's soul searching felt fresh and relevant. I felt that Betsy St. Amant wrote an inspiring novel. Fun, thought provoking and entertaining. 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Revell. All views expressed are my honest opinion.

The Thief of Blackfriars Lane

 


Michelle Griep's latest novel, The Thief of Blackfriars Lane, is an adventure you won't want to miss. 

From the first pages I was hooked and enthralled. The bumbling constable and the feisty street skirt had me rooting for them the whole way. I found myself on the streets of London, following them on their ever fast paced journey. 

Street wise Kit Turner finds herself helping newbie officer Jackson Forge in finding a missing cabbie. And the mishaps they encounter were real page turners. I could not wait to see what happened next. 

Michelle Griep spun a great story, I think her best so far. Her research into the lives of Victorian London were well done. The story is well written and developed, clean romance, a mystery that really keeps you guessing. Highly recommended.

I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through Net Galley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
