One day I looked in the mirror and the strong, creative, feisty girl of my childhood wasn’t smiling back at me anymore.
My aunt must’ve known something that I didn’t, because when she left me her cottage on Sweetwater Island, a tiny spark lit inside me. But the old Victorian house has been sitting vacant for so long, the idea of living there is a pipe dream. What would it take to restore the summer cottage of my childhood to its former glory?
My sister thinks it’s crazy, but… Could this be a second chance at the life I always dreamed of?
TRISTAN
From the moment she peeked her head around the corner of that weather-worn Victorian cottage, I knew there was something special about her. Then I realized that she was going to be one of those clients that thought being involved in the renovation project was helpful…when really, she was just going to get in the way.
But why did she have to end up being so beautiful, and so…likeable? No, this is a job. Besides, love isn’t in the cards for me anymore. People with dark secrets like mine don’t deserve a chance at that kind of happiness.
Yet every time she comes around I can’t help but wonder… What if I’m still salvageable like this old seaside cottage?

For Love…and Donuts is a great, clean romance. It is a wonderful tale of how Virginia grows as she starts to listen to her heart and puts God back into her life. This story has well developed characters with stand out personalities, a Seattle island as a backdrop and a great story line. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet escape.
To Love…and Renovate is a wonderful, clean romance about family issues and other stresses as the couple continue to work and try to finish the planning 3 weeks before their wedding.The characters are well drawn and very likable but each the secrets and family issues are causing problems. Great story. Plan to read this in one sitting.
Sweetwater Island Ferry Trilogy:
For Love … and Donuts #1 – I read the second book first and I enjoyed this one more. The well thought out storylines just felt similar to slipping on a pair of comfy, cozy slippers and sharing a cup of tea. I liked the characters; they were so realistic and human, and worked so well together: Virginia , Tristan and Sam were perfect. Of course, the story needed Jason for to all end well. I found the cottage and the island to be important characters in their own right. This fast flowing, easy to read story was entertaining and enjoyable. I loved that the author gave enough details without doing the daily, boring grind some authors do; writing about every unimportant detail instead of letting time past and writing about the important parts. An enjoyable, clean, happy read. I contacted the author to review her books and received this through Booksprout. 4*
To Love … and Renovate #2 – This story takes place six months after Donuts ends. I didn’t get to read the first book of this series, which I think would have made this book more meaningful to me. Well written and easy to read with likable characters and a plot full of happenings. Of course, there’s wedding details still to be completed, working at their jobs and trying to wait for the wedding night, why wouldn’t there be drama? But there was fun and laughter, too. A good balance throughout the book. I liked Virginia’s calm approach to the wedding preparations. Oh, don’t forget the elephant in the pink tutu – the renovations. I appreciate this being a clean story, which only needed minor editing. I found this book on Booksprout.co. 4* Update: I reread this after reading Donuts and I liked the story better. I recommend these three in order written since they are about Virginia, Tristan and Sam.
With Love … and Reality TV #3 – This story takes place four months after Renovate ends. I don’t really care too much for Hollywood and TV, but this was a local station with a surprise character and a surprise deal. An entertaining, sweet read with plenty of romance and problems for everybody. The storylines were interesting; the characters multi-faceted and there’s plenty of emotions running the gamut. I just wish Ms. Mayes would edit her books, the errors do distract from the story. 4*
Sweetwater Island Ferry Trilogy end.
Unexpected Events – This is a quickly read, sweet romance between old friends. The characters are believable without any stupid dialog or actions. The storyline is interesting. A nice story for relaxing with a cuppa. I contacted the author to review her books and received this through Booksprout. 4*

My heart has just been touched by a rainbow. Sophie Mays turns heartbreak into sunshine with a creativity that inspires and entertains.

Color Me addicted, because I’m hooked.

This was a wonderful set of books. Full of romance and love, this set is a keeper. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
A book set of 3 books, it describes how Virginia and Tristan meet, fall in love, overcome some problems, marry and the start of married life.
Nothing special in a way, but heart-warming and fairly realistic with typical ups and downs of a relationship. On the side some family members and their lives are also described.
A good and interesting read, entertaining and quite funny at times. Having all 3 books together makes the story of Tristan and Virginia complete.

Three well written family type stories that follow faith, dreams, family, hopes, a sweet story that is more like following real-live people’s lives. A set of books that I enjoyed reading.
This is a really good trilogy it was really well written with great likable characters. If you are looking for a good clean read then you cannot go wrong with this box set. It is really well written and I was pulled right into the storyline. I would definitely recommend these books and I cannot wait to read more.
This is a set of three very sweet books. The plot is believable, the characters are believable and very easy to relate to. These are written in a very down to earth manner that most people can easily relate to and yet still feel as if they are getting away from any stress in their own daily life. This author has a wonderful style of writing. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A great clean romantic trilogy with mystery, intrigue and great twists! Three great books that I can read around my grandkids without having to worry about them seeing my screen! This series has great normal characters that we can relate to and is well written. It will keep you reading until the end and wanting more. I don’t know if she is going to expand this series or do trilogies on some of the other characters. I can’t wait for the next book!

Sweet and Clean Island Romance
This sweet and clean trilogy is set on an island in the Pacific Northwest near Seattle. The series contains no faith elements. The plot follows a young woman and her sister trying to follow their dreams. They find themselves making choices and surprising themselves as they grow into their adult lives. All three books have their own messages. Each stands alone well, but I think they would be more enjoyable when read in order. I received this set for free and this is my honest opinion.
it is really hard to live a life in a modern, broken world, follow your faith, your career and romance dreams – and to put those things together sometimes after earlier efforts may not have gone quite as dreamed.
this is an amazing collection of real people living daily lives and struggles with siblings and parents, job and addictions, balancing lives and loves.
Stories that do not just quote spirtual-ish pablum – instead, that encourage mindful, considerate relations – and connect them to faith and faith in action — and somehow not be preachy.
a great and lively bunch of reads – ones that make it seem like there might be a chance for real people to have real relationships – even in a broken world – even if those relationships change to become important friendships, and not the roles you might have dreamed .
this is a good series for dreaming and believing – and seeing others determined to survive and try to thrive, despite their fictional life challenges.
