‘Life is complicated,’ Dahlia said. ‘I’m making it all sound much simpler than it was. But the upshot is...I had to spend some time forgiving each of my husbands for not being what I needed. And I had to forgive MYSELF for being too independent to be fulfilled by one man. I know I hurt them and I truly regret that. But life Goes On and Ive always Resolved to keep LIVING mine, in whatever way feels best to me at any given time. Ultimately, I do better on my own than with a lifelong companion.’☕️

Dahlia is a side character in The Giving Heart by @authortoniblake and I have two pages underlined of a conversation between her, our heroine & another side character. I love how content, self aware and comfortable with herself she is. Her confidence definitely got the wheels turning for another character in the story. I have 7 chapters to go & this is the first book In a while that I’ve found myself savoring, putting off finishing because I don’t want the ending to come..BUT guess who just left the bookstore with the previous book, THE ONE WHO STAYS💓 so I’ll finish The Giving Heart soon, because now I can spend a little more time in Toni Blake’s Summer Island world💓 #tistheseasonathon is JUST what I needed this December. Shoutout to the hosts for an amazing reading time💓💓

I just finished Cowboy Christmas Homecoming by June Faver and highly recommend it for your holiday romance reading. Our heroine, Stephanie is the only female firefighter on our team and all she wants for Christmas is to adopt two babies she saved after they witnessed their mother being murdered. And our hero Zach is a war veteran who I think the author did a phenomenal job of capturing what it’s like being a military member and returning home, and having to become acclimated back into everyday, regular life..and how kind of isolating it can be seeing how life went on without you while you’ve been away. I teared up a bit at a certain section that involves Military Working Dogs, living here in San Antonio and working with the trainers who train the dogs just really got to me (MANY OF THE RETIRED DOGS NEED TO BE ADOPTED!) 🎄 this romance is the right mixture of family, steaminess and suspense. I highly recommend it💕
