Jo Marie leaves her job & friends and buys a B & B in Cedar Cove after her husband was killed in Afghanistan. Story resolves around herself and her first two guests and how they each cope with problems in their own lives. Short story (When First They Met) added a nice touch.

This book was labeled as young adult fiction, but I genuinely think anyone who likes stories about college-aged people learning about themselves and connections with others. The story was told from the alternating perspectives. One belonged to college freshman Penny, who is quirky, but not in an annoying manic pixie dream girl way. Her voice was fresh, funny, and real. The other perspective belonged to 21 year old Sam. His voice was distinct from Penny's, and I enjoyed following their individual struggles, as well as the unique ways their stories intertwine. This book was a great beach read that I highly recommend to people of all ages.

This is a biography of George Washington covering his personal, military and political life concentrating on little known facts and debunking some that we have always thought true. It's a well written book, easy to read. I recommend it as it portrays Washington as a human, not perfect.

Action packed, fast paced, holds your interest.

This is book 15 in the Duncan Kinkaid/Gemma James series. In this book Duncan is on parental leave and Gemma has a temporary assignment as head of a murder investigation unit. Two similar murders with no apparent connection give rise to the theory that they may be serial murders. There are many twists and turns in the investigation that brings both James, Kinkaid and their sgts together to solve the case. I recommend this to those that like to follow mystery series of books with the same characters.
