I've received a ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Wham! Bam! The main characters meet and fall in love within a day or two. Not really realistic nor was there any sort of build up. Obviously I felt like the romance was rushed between Scott and Charlene, and the chemistry? What chemistry?! There was none nor any connection between them. Series was just a quick and easy read. I'm pretty sure the series summary was a lot more interesting than the story itself. Nothing to rave about but I will say, what made me even consider reading this was the concept. I really wished the author took that into consideration and really had made this story worth while. It could have been something to rave about.… (mere)

In Time For Christmas is a delightful story. Sylvia hasn’t made it home for the last couple of Christmases. This year she plans to have Christmas with her family. What she doesn’t have plans for is romance. But you know what happens with carefully made plans, right? And being too busy for romance is like tossing out a challenge. Will Sylvia make it home for Christmas? Will she get an unexpected Christmas gift? This book is a perfect book for relaxing after a day of holiday rushing around. When commercialism threatens your holiday spirit, put your jammies and grab some cocoa. Then get comfy and spend the evening reading. Let Mona Risk sweep you away from reality In Time For Christmas!
I purchased the box set, Sweet Christmas Kisses 4, which includes this story. My verified purchase will be on that book. This is a sweet romance so no worries about sexy scenes or language you prefer not to read. It is a safe Christmas romance for teen, young adult readers and those whose preference is clean stories.… (mere)

Secret Kisses Love you doc series by Mona Risk
Starts with book description then the story. Praise and awards are noted.
Story starts with Katy at kindergarten and she meets Hoda a new girl
They become friends with Sarah and Julia.
Story follows them through birthday parties also, some are Catholic, Muslim and Jewish.
Plans are made for Hoda to marry a man her parents had picked out for her when she was very young.
He shows up at the graduation party and things don't go as planned. Another is enticed by him....
Like all the different religions and learning about them and how they go about their everyday lifes.
At times things are confusing to me. Love the travel and all the new things for me to learn about.
Amazing who each of the girls has been matched with but is it to be with complications of custom and religion?
Ends with a note from the author and her other work and about the author.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.… (mere)
