Thoughts on the Books I Read Last Week:
Widowed Camille is hoping for a marriage proposal from a prince. He wants to experience a true English Christmas. Camille is sure her family will not put forth a true picture so she hires actors to portray her family during the celebration. All is going according to plan until her childhood friend, neighbor and the man who declared his love on the eve of her wedding shows up everything changes. Grayson is back to claim her and will not take no for an answer. Hilarious fun! A great start to the Millworth Manor series..
What a wonderful debut novel. I was quickly drawn into Eileen's life. As a young girl of Irish Immigrants she wants more for her life than what she grew up with and is determined to live the "American Dream". She chooses a career in nursing, meets Ed her future husband and is sure the life she has always wanted is within her grasp. As their life unfolds, things do not always go her way and at times she is hard to like. The story took a turn that I was not expecting and it had me turning the pages mesmerized. This chunkster is well worth the time it takes to read.
This novella introduces a new series. Emma has loved Flynn forever. Her brother will do whatever it takes to keep them apart, which is okay with Flynn as he want nothing to do with her. So how come he can't take his eyes off her and she is everywhere he goes? When Flynn learns that his long lost brother has been found, both of them are swept up in the intrigue and mystery. I liked both characters and look forward to this series.

Cole is so gorgeous. Young ones so light up the family.
I love the little bit about What Happens at Christmas, sounds a really fun read. Really actors for the family! Putting it on my wishlist.
Merry Christmas, hope you have a wonderful holiday. I liked what Happens at Christmas, not my usual read but I laughed out loud several times. :)
Cole is adorable, isn't being a grandparent just the best!!
I'll put We Are Not Ourselves on my 2015 reading list. Noticed a few people reading Station Eleven.
Have a wonderful week and a joyous Christmas :)
Cole is so sweet!
What Happens At Christmas has been in my TBR for awhile. I really need to read it already :)
Merry Christmas!
I thought We Are Not Ourselves was a great debut - it made my Best Debuts of 2014 list. I thought the first part dealing with Eileen's childhood was a little slow, but loved it once the focus moved to her life with Ed.
Wishing you a happy reading week and a joyful holiday!
