Just looking at the cover says, ‘don’t start reading me in the evening unless you want to be up reading all night!’. 🙂 Goodness, this book sounds fantastic!

A few of my January favorites were:
“Another One Bites the Crust” by H. Y. Hanna
“Grace’s Forgiveness” by Molly Jebber
“Christmas Roses” by Lenora Worth and others
And because I was fortunate enough to get an ARC of “Biscuits and Slashed Browns” by Mattie Day I finished off the month with a great read.
Thanks for the chance to win a copy of “The House on Foster Hill” by Jaime Jo Wright. I’d very much love to read this book.
