Hi There, Dear Readers:
I have a few goodies for you today so I'm going to jump right into sharing them.
First, LOVE, LIES and LAVENDER (Book #1, Blueberry Point Romance) is FREE today through Saturday!
This first in series book is actually a spin-off from the Hearts in Hendricks series, my first romance collection set in Hendricks, Minnesota. While Sean and Darcy Stetman begin to welcome guests at their newly opened Blueberry Point Lodge, a love match is taking place under their roof.
What do a dreamy lavender farmer and a widow looking to pick up the pieces of her life have in common? They're not looking for love at the small farms conference that Darcy and Sean are hosting, that’s for sure!
Love, Lies and Lavender is a heartwarming small-town romance filled with second chances and the power of hope.
This Kindle Unlimited series is the first of seven books, too!

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT
This year I'm featuring a new author in each newsletter with a free novella to sample, too.
Today I'm thrilled to shine the spotlight on Angela Scarborough! From her bio on Amazon: "she writes sweet romance and rom-com novels that capture the essence of clean and wholesome love. Whether filled with faith or rooted in Christian beliefs, Angela's stories always remain true to a pure and heartfelt narrative.
When not weaving tales of romance, Angela enjoys watching movies, indulging in TV shows, savoring shrimp dishes, and diving into a good book. Every morning, you can find Angela at the desk, accompanied by her feline assistants, Loki and Nutmeg, who are always ready to provide a purr of encouragement."
Visit her website to see all of her books: Angela Scarborough, and don't forget to download her FREE novella, A Blend of Hearts, below in the Book Recommendations area. Isn't that cover the cutest?

I'm almost finished with my current book, and goodness knows I have enough books in the house to have something to choose from for my next read. Yet, my dad dropped off the New York Times Book Review today and I happened to see The Correspondent by Virginia Evans in the Top Ten. It's been on my radar for a while. Has anyone else read it? Also, Dear Debbie by Frieda McFadden sounds good. So many choices, so little time...

Their friendship is like a well-tended garden—until unexpected feelings start to grow.
In this clean and wholesome romance, filled with sweet moments and heartfelt confessions, Mason and Calista must decide if love is worth the risk of stepping out of the friend zone and into a life that blends with love.
