ARC received from BookSprout for an honest voluntary review.
This is exciting, heartwarming, heartbreaking, suspenseful, fun and so many more things. She has moved there to be with him. He moving forward after a divorce with her. But things get complicated when his ex comes back to town. I highly recommend reading the others before this one and then this one in order. I really enjoyed them all. She has a way of grabbing you and taking you to a good place. I was given a review copy on booksprout and voluntarily review it.
Just when you thought Isaac and Jenna were on a smooth road to happiness Sara’s mother turns up. We learn that Isaac is still married and the road has some potholes that need fixing. Easy reading with some light entertainment.
A quick sweet read. An engaging with some drama. Isaac and Jenna is falling into a comfortable relationship. Isaac is interested in taking the next step he has a secret and it’s revealed and challenges their relationship.
Title was misleading still a good read.

Jenna, Isaac, and Sara made the perfect family unit. All that was missing was that Jenna didn’t actually live there. But Isaac had finally decided that he would change that as soon as he had her alone later. Then the knock on the door changed everything!
This was a delightful conclusion to Silver Bells and I think it’s worth the time to read it.

C. J. Hunt has written a series of books set in Rivers End. Although there are different names for each series, the characters are shared throughout the stories. Most of the characters do not share today’s typical stupid formula of not communicating when there’s trouble or imagined trouble; instead are likable and realistic. All the books are well written, fast paced, interesting and have humor. Some of the books are clean; some have cursing or vulgar language; and/ have sex. Personally, I don’t think the sex and vulgar language actually fit in with the sweetness and love that these romances share. I think the sexual tension is more important than what technique so-and-so used; plus written sex is boring. These are quickly read books and are perfect for a couple hours of relaxation.
The MacAllisters Series:
Silver Bells #1 – Heartwarming and fun, and a magical Christmas time frame. A well written, funny, interesting small town romance. There’s plenty of sexual tension, but the story is clean and fast paced. The characters are interesting, realistic and didn’t do stupid dialog or actions. This should be an entertaining small town series. 4*
Tipsy #2 – Picks up the same week as Silver Bells ends, on New Year’s eve. Well written and interesting with humor and set at a fast pace, along with likable characters. I didn’t care that there was a lack of communication instead of a different form of creating a problem between the main characters. I didn’t care for the sex and bad language and think clean works better for this story. That aside I like the story and with the addition of Oona, how The MacAllisters is connected to A Touch of Magic. 4*
Reindeer Games #3 – This cover is too cute.This book starts on Christmas day, where Silver Bells ended. Well written and interesting with the truth about a bad brother from another book. The pace is fast and the characters are believable and there’s a dark side to some of them. I didn’t care for the vulgar language, but the storylines are good. 4*
Wedding Bells #4 – This book picks up in May and adds to the story of the main characters from Silver Bells. Well written, likable characters and a fast pace make this a quick read. There’s a little bit of suspense concerning one character, but it adds to the other storylines. I didn’t care for the vulgar language; find it out of place. 4*
The Witches of River Bend Series:
Merry #1 – We’re still in Rivers End, but now there’s a touch of magic in this story. This is a well written, funny and heartwarming romance set in a small town. The characters were interesting and had realistic dialog. The cousins are a lot of fun and give good gifts. I didn’t care for the infrequent vulgar language, that started with mild cussing; it felt out of place in this type of story. Same with the explicit sex; it was awkward and boring, as is all written sex to me, boorrring. Sexual tension is so much more interesting. I did enjoy the magical potion and think it was a good mix of romance with witches. Since this is my third book by this author and first of the “touch of magic”, I hope there’s more. 4*
Oona #2 – Another well written romance concerning a witch, with a bakery, and an architect. Interesting and fast pace with likable characters, and lots of happenings. 4*
