My Review
Emma commits to celebrating her best friend Mel’s birthday in a special way but accidentally overbooks herself, having also promised to accompany her grandmother on a coach trip. This trip was initially an anniversary gift for her grandfather, who tragically passed away before they could go. Despite initial reservations, both young women join the trip with biases about the elderly. As the week unfolds, their misconceptions are beautifully dispelled. Many find it difficult to empathize with the challenges the elderly face, such as the slow-paced woman or the man delaying the supermarket queue.
This tale beautifully bridges the gap between generations, challenging stereotypes about age. It’s a touching story of laughter, love, and learning, providing readers with a memorable and heartwarming experience.

Single mother Rachel has enough on her plate with two rambunctious twin boys to raise. Still mourning her husband, she isn’t looking for romance—until Chance, a strikingly handsome ex-FBI agent, shows up at her door.
While it’s clear Rachel knows nothing about his case involving a kidnapped baby, it’s also obvious she’s in over her head with her own little ones.

She’s not sure she’s ready for that…
No two ways about it… Chance is enthralled by Rachel. She’s everything he’s ever wanted in a woman. Smart, strong, and beautiful—more than enough to get him imagining what it would be like to be in her life permanently. Unfortunately, Rachel doesn’t seem nearly as interested in him as he is in her.
When he was an FBI agent, Chance always got the results he wanted. But now that he has found the perfect woman, can he convince her that he is what she wants?

This Christmas, Holly and Chace are getting the best present of all – a second chance.
Holly McCade is godmother to two little girls – a role she takes very seriously. So she immediately offers to care for the twins when, three weeks before Christmas, their father is injured and their mother has to rush off to tend to him.
Only Holly won’t be handling the situation alone. The twins’ Uncle Chace, the man Holly almost married, is also coming to help.
Formerly an elite soldier, now a private security specialist, Chace Dutton is trained to deal with the toughest, scariest situations. Yet nothing has prepared him for the daunting task of sharing childcare duties with the only woman he’s ever loved.
The woman who tore his heart to shreds when she said she could never be with a man who might be killed every time he went to work.
Now, eight years later and living under the same roof, Chace and Holly are given a glimpse into how their life together might have been.
Will they have the courage to rekindle their love and grab hold of this second chance? Or is all the mistletoe for nothing?

My Review
Jenn Park is a budding wine connoisseur responsible for selecting the finest prosecco for her employer. However, upon arriving in Veneto and witnessing the beauty of the agriturismo, she’s forced to abandon her preconceptions and fully immerse herself in the experience. An introverted and isolated Jenn learns to lean on others, including the dashing tractor-driving grandson of her landlady. Although he consistently points out her flaws and introduces her to the locals, she discovers there’s more to him than just a rural man with a disdain for urban life. As she explores the region, she acquaints herself with the local community and their way of life. Overall, the book offers a delightful summer read with its vivid landscapes and flavors to me.
