Another Great Addition To The Quilts Of Love Series Of Books ~ Swept Away

Here is another book from the Quilts of Love series of books. Swept Away was written by two authors in collaboration. They did a great job with the story.

Throughout the book is intertwined the love of quilting that brings the whole story together. There is drama as well as romance woven through. Most of the characters you will enjoy a lot. Sara is so sweet and you can almost tell from the start that she will be attracted to Andrew the handyman.

There is a backstory for each character and you see how God works through their lives to help them heal and move on. It was enjoyable to see the growth and how the focus was on growing because of God and His working, even when the characters didn't realize it!

This is a great addition you should get for your library.

About the Book:
Sara doesn't think she wants love. But her grandmother has other plans. Sara Jane Morgan is trying to balance teaching with caring for her ailing, stubborn grandmother. When school lets out for the summer, the plans are for Grandma to teach Sara Jane to quilt as they finish up the Appalachian Ballad quilt Grandma started as a teenager. But things don’t always go as planned. Andrew Stevenson is hiding from his past—and his future. He works as a handyman to pay the bills, but his heart is as an artisan, designing homemade brooms. When Sara Jane’s grandmother hires him to renovate her home, sparks fly between Drew and his new employer’s granddaughter. Still, it doesn't take Sara Jane long to see Drew isn't what he seems. Questions arise, and she starts researching him online. What she discovers could change her life—and her heart—forever.

Masterpiece Marriage Is Another Wonderful Addition To The Quilts Of Love Series of Books

This is another wonderful addition to the Quilts of Love series of books! Sometimes I don't know how they can keep coming out with more and the quality still stay so good. I'm impressed!

Masterpiece Marriage is a book that some may find hard relating to the main characters. They aren't who you normally can relate to, but as the story goes on you find yourself caring more about them. I think it helps that there are so many wonderful side characters to help the story along, like the aunt. She's fun and quirky to me.

It was fun to see how the quilt was going to play an important part in the story (I won't give it away). I just loved how you were drawn into the running of the textile mill. It gave another meaning to the quilt for me.

This is one book I think you will enjoy reading and adding to the whole series of Quilts of Love!

Hidden In The Stars Is A Wonderful Addition To The Quilts Of Love Series

I have written reviews for many of the Quilts Of Love Series of books and this is another one that fits perfectly in the series. Hidden in the Stars will keep you guessing the whole way through the book. Each and every one of the characters is believable and not forced at all. Sophia is a wonderful character. Her strong faith is encouraging throughout the story, while poor Julian struggles with his. I feel for him, having done the same at different times in my life. This is one murder mystery that will keep you going from the first page to the last. It was hard to put it down and I think you'll love it!

About the book: 
A quilt holds the secret to a killer still at large---and who his next victim will be. Following an attack that killed her mother and stole her ability to speak, 21-year-old Sophia Montgomery has no choice but to accept her estranged grandmother's offer to return to their family home. Although detective Julian Frazier is working hard on the case, Sophia unknowingly frustrates him because her inability to speak thwarts her eyewitness evidence. The fact that Julian is undeniably attracted to Sophia doesn't help either, so Julian hides his feelings as concern for a trauma victim and focuses instead on finding the killer. Little do they know, the clues to solving the case may be right in front of them, displayed in Sophia's mother's "special" quilt design. Who will realize the secret Sophia's unwittingly been hiding in plain sight? When the truth comes to light, will Sophia find her voice again? Or will the murderer---still at large---silence her forever?

Quilts Of Love Book Series ~ A Grand Design by Amber Stockton

I have truly been enjoying the entire Quilts of Love collection of books. Each one is a treasure. one of the newest books, A Grand Design, is just wonderful!

As with the other stories in the series there is a quilt as an integral part of the whole thing. It's been fascinating to see how the different authors have brought quilts into the story in unique and interesting ways.

The description of Mackinac Island truly makes you want to go and visit to see everything for yourself. Alyssa is an interesting character in the book. it was easy to like her and walk through this story with her. She's very believable person and you find yourself hoping she finds love. Scott, Alyssa's romantic interest, was so sweet and understanding, although I would have loved to have learned a little more about his personal story.

In all, it was a nice book and a good read!

About the Book:

A getaway on a charming island may be just what Alyssa needs---if only she can let go of her past.

When Alyssa Denham, a single career woman, wins a fun getaway for two on Mackinac Island where her grandmother lives, she gives her carefree best friend a call. Together, they tour the old shops and hidden treasures of the quaint island while helping Alyssa's grandmother piece together an heirloom quilt. Their quest gains them entrance into the homes of many longtime residents of the island, parts of the city that are otherwise off limits to tourists.

As the quilt's story takes shape, Alyssa gains amazing insight into her grandmother's life . . . and attracts the attention of the handsome Scott Whitman, an island resident in charge of hotel transportation. Will memories of her past keep Alyssa from letting go? Or will the quest to piece together the heirloom quilt restore Alyssa's fractured heart---and bring healing to her entire family?
