Customer Reviews
Enjoyed it
I enjoyed these 3 books. They were all sweet & family oriented, with the running theme of Mother's Day. In Fern Michaels's book Amazing Gracie, we meet Gracie who gets a shock around Mother's Day that changes how she thought her life was but doesn't really have any fall out from it. Her single sister gets a surprise as well in this story & a new family is formed.
In Meant to Be, Lori Foster brings a crush to an end as Cory makes some life changing decisions regarding her job & where she'll next reside. Giving up on Austin, she decides it time to move on because Austin is never going to love her the way she loves him. When Austin finds out she's thinking of leaving he finally realizes that he's been in love with her for a long time. Now he has to prove to Cory that he does love & care about her & hope that she'll stay. This story had a little bit of paranormal to it, as Cory & her father both had a way of knowing what was going to happen. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Cory & Austin as well.
In The Mother's Day Crown by Carolyn Brown, we meet Monica & Tyler who were best friends & a couple until their graduation party 10 yrs ago, when Monica walks in on Tyler being kissed & undressed by a vengeful classmate. Now their neighbours because their grandmothers left them their houses right beside each other. The grandmothers play matchmaker to get these two back together were they belong & Tyler is definitely on board but Monica is not so sure about it. I really enjoyed Winnie & Dotty(the grandmothers), they were definitely a hoot & I laughed out loud a lot at their antics. I also enjoyed the escape artist cat Sheba, who was always escaping from Tyler's house & running over to Monica's.
