MY REVIEW

Set in Stone
by David James Warren
Book 4 in the True Lies of Rembrandt Stone series
Rating: 4/5

Wow. This series keeps getting better and better. The story picks up right where they left off in book 3. You must read the other three books before this one or else you will be confused.

“I’m starting to think that no matter what I do, what timeline I’m in, how many times I go back to fix my past, I’m going to forget something.”

Rembrandt Stone no longer has the time-traveling watch that Booker gave him. He resigns himself to live with what he did in the past and try to find the serial killer in the present. His heart is broken over the lives lost but he won’t let anything stop him from finding Leo Fitzgerald. Eve is still his wife and he is acting as interim chief of police.

“I’ve spent my entire life looking back. Wishing I’d done something differently. And…I just keep screwing it up.”

Can Rem and Eve find out how to catch the killer? Can they find a way to overcome the grief of the past?

I really enjoyed this installment. There are some reveals that are interesting and only make me want to continue reading. I really enjoyed getting to see more of Rem and Eve’s relationship as they investigate the whereabouts of the killer while also juggling some facets of Eve’s past that Rem can’t remember happening. His doubts and regrets really come back to haunt him and affect the decisions he makes. I eagerly await the next book.

Highly recommend this series if you enjoy time-traveling detective stories that will keep you up at night.

PG-13 content.

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Hooked On You by Kathleen Fuller, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Hooked On You
Series: Maple Falls Romance #1
Author: Kathleen Fuller
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Release Date: May 11, 2021
Genre: Contemporary Romance (clean/sweet)

She never wanted to come back. He never wants to leave. The town of Maple Falls has plans for them both.

Riley McAllister is living the dream in New York City . . . if the dream means being a struggling mixed-media artist, part-time food delivery driver, and having a carefully curated social media to hide all of the above. She refuses to admit defeat and move back to small-town Maple Falls, but when her grandmother breaks her leg sliding into third base during a softball game (she was safe, by the way), Riley reluctantly agrees to go home and help the woman who raised her—while secretly hoping she can convince Mimi to sell her house and yarn shop and move in with a good friend. Then Riley can return to her new life in NYC, on her own and for good.

But Mimi has her own plans, which include setting Riley up with local baseball star Hayden Price, who returned to Maple Falls after an injury ended his major league career. Now he works at his father’s hardware store, coaches the church softball team, and worries about the declining town. It’s not the life he dreamed of having.

With a little meddling and a lot of kindness from the town, Hayden and Riley find themselves unexpectedly falling for each other as they discover the true meaning of home.

Welcome to Maple Falls, where everyone knows your name and your business.

MY REVIEW

Hooked On You
by Kathleen Fuller
Book 1 in the Maple Falls series
Rating: 4/5

I don’t remember if I’ve ever read anything from Kathleen Fuller before, but I loved the description of the book and couldn’t help myself. I was excited to be chosen to receive an ARC of the book and I was NOT disappointed. The book is everything you’d want in a sweet romance.

Riley McAllister’s life on Instagram is very different than her actual life as a struggling mixed media artist who has to be a part-time delivery driver in New York City. She is determined to not return to her small hometown of Maple Falls, but when her grandmother, “Mimi”, breaks her leg, Riley comes home to help take care of her and the yarn store. Coming home after almost 10 years is not easy for Riley who has always felt like an outsider due to her tumultuous past, but seeing Hayden Price again might make it worth it. Hayden Price, the golden boy of Maple Falls who made it to the major leagues only to hurt himself during the first game, is content to help run his parents’ hardware store. Can Riley help her grandmother’s store and home without the help of Hayden Price? Probably not but being around him so much might cause her heart to beat out of her chest. Can Riley learn to trust Hayden and open up her heart to her secret high school crush? When secrets are revealed, can Riley learn to forgive and let go of the past?

This book was a nice, sweet romance between two very different people. I liked Riley’s character because she had to deal with her very real, tragic circumstances and learn to overcome them. Hayden’s rise to fame and then quick fall affected him a lot but I loved how he was able to heal with the help of therapy and time. This story is definitely a light read with a couple more serious parts that just make the characters more authentic. I feel this book is more on the inspirational side of Christian fiction and does not get in your face about the Bible.

Highly recommend if you enjoy clean, sweet romance with a lot of heart and yarn! 😉
