My full bookshelves, NetGalley shelf, and Kindle give testimony to my high hopes and TBR failures. 😉 I always have good intentions to read a book as soon as I take possession. Alas, I am an optimist when it comes to my free time and capacity to read all the books. Today TTT bloggers are urged to fess up to the few or many books that they have left unread. I went back to the past few years’ posts of Summer TBR Lists to discover what I really wanted to read and failed miserably to complete. I hope you (and I) discover a book we just can’t not read. Double negative there for fellow English majors.
Welcome to the Blog Tour for Home No Matter Where by Nancy Naigle, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
About The Book
Title:Home No Matter Where Series: A Shell Collector Novel #3 Author:Nancy Naigle Publisher: WaterBrook Press (Penguin Random House) Release Date: May 5, 2026 Genre: Contemporary Sweet Romance/Women’s Fiction
Three generations of women confront their pasts and discover it’s never too late for new beginnings in this heartwarming novel of second chances and unconditional love—from the bestselling author of The Shell Collector.
“In Home No Matter Where we travel to beautiful Whelk’s Island, where a close-knit community puts us right at home. Along the way we meet compelling characters caught in realistic storms and learn faith-filled lessons about weathering them.” —Denise Hunter, bestselling author of More Than Friends
Nina is at her wit’s end with her teenage daughter, Kendra. Still dealing with her own wounds of divorce, Nina hopes a change of scenery will help. She and Kendra head to the serene coastal town of Whelk’s Island to spend a restorative summer with Nina’s mother, Rosemary—bringing three generations under one roof for the first time in years. Amid the island’s charm, old wounds begin to heal, and as new friendships bloom—especially with the steady and enigmatic Fisher—light begins to break through the cracks of Nina’s tightly controlled life.
Kendra’s reckless behavior continues but Fisher’s intervention during a critical moment for Kendra sparks a sense of hope in Nina that she thought was lost. Still, change is never easy.
As the women navigate the tides of forgiveness, growing up, and letting go, healing begins and new love brings surprises. While Whelk’s Island may not hold all the answers, it has a way of reminding people that moving forward doesn’t follow a set path—it requires the bravery to start anew.
Excerpt
Later that night, the house was quiet. Too quiet. Uneasiness ran up Nina’s spine. She went to Kendra’s bedroom door, turned the knob, and peeked in. The room was empty.
Her stomach dropped. She raced from room to room, but there was no sign of Kendra. The back door was unlocked, but she wasn’t on the deck either. Panic surged through Nina. No, no, no!
As she grabbed her keys, her first thought was to text Fisher for help, but that wasn’t right. This wasn’t his mess to handle, and she hated to ruin Mom’s time with Tug if it wasn’t an emergency. Or is it? Nina ran outside, calling Kendra’s name. The salty wind whipped around her like a heavy coat, and the darkness pressed in close.
What are you thinking, Kendra?
As Nina raced for her car, she noticed the bicycle still leaning against the carport wall.
Please be nearby.
When she looked over to the beach, she saw Kendra standing knee-deep in the surf, her arms wrapped around herself, gazing out at the waves.
Relief battled anger inside Nina. She leaned over to catch her breath and regain her composure. Once her heart slowed down, she walked over to her daughter. “What are you doing?” Her voice came out sharp with fear. “Do you have any idea how dangerous this is?”
“Who cares?” Kendra turned to Nina, her face set in a defiant glare.
“I do.” She held Kendra’s hollow gaze. “Your grandmother does.”
“I needed air.”
“That’s not how this works,” Nina shot back. “You don’t just sneak out after dark.” She fought back tears, afraid to let Kendra see her weaken. “What is going on in that head of yours?”
Kendra’s lip trembled, but she lifted her chin. “If you keep being mean to Dad, he’ll never come back for us.”
It was like a dagger to her heart to be reminded that her divorce was the tipping point of her daughter’s distress. Nina stepped closer, placing a calming hand on Kendra’s arm. “He’s remarried, Kendra. Your dad has moved on. We have to as well.”
“You’re so busy making eyes at Fisher that you don’t even notice me.”
Nina’s breath caught. “That is not true. You are always first in my heart. He’s a friend of our family. I thought you liked him.”
Kendra’s eyes flashed. “It’s me or him, Mom. Pick.”

Happy Tuesday! Today TTT’s topic is secondary, or as I like to call them, supporting characters. I see supporting characters as integral to creating a complete story. A reader gets an in-depth look at the struggles of the mains, as well as a richer reading experience. I’m not great at remembering secondary/supporting characters, so I did a search with the term in my blog reviews. I think you’ll find some great books to check out that have great supporting characters, and there’s a variety of genres that should appeal to any reading mood.
Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for A Brewed Awakening by Pepper Basham, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
About The Book
Title:A Brewed Awakening Author:Pepper Basham Publisher: Thomas Nelson Release Date: May 5, 2026 Genre: Small Town Contemporary Romance
Daphne dreams of Mr. Darcy. Finn serves up pints and rock music. Can opposites attract when a tea shop princess meets her pub-owning rival?
In the charming mountain town of Wisteria, North Carolina, Daphne Austen clings to tradition like cream to a scone. She’s built her life–and her late grandmother’s tearoom, Tea Thyme–around all things English: delicate china, Jane Austen novels, and the comforting predictability of routine. The only thing threatening her perfectly ordered world? The loud, aggravatingly handsome Brit opening a pub next door.
After his ex-wife broke his heart and his business partner nearly destroyed his career, Finn Dashwood packed up his six-year-old daughter and left England behind. He’s looking for a fresh start, and the last thing he needs is a fussy, tea-obsessed neighbor criticizing his every pint and playlist. It doesn’t matter that she’s ridiculously kind (to everyone else) and that his daughter is utterly fascinated by her. Finn’s heart is not open to being broken again.
But disagreements turn into prank wars and then a competition when a high-profile wedding needs a last-minute caterer. The townsfolk are thrilled–Wisteria hasn’t seen this much excitement since the county fair lost a goat.
When the wedding demands both sweet and savory fare, Daphne and Finn are forced to put down their swords and pick up their serving trays. Between burnt pastries, brewing tempers, trending hashtags (#SipsAndSpats, anyone?), and one very adorable little girl, rivalry soon gives way to reluctant friendship–and maybe something that feels suspiciously like chemistry.
Can a tea shop princess and a pub owner with a past mix their lives as seamlessly as clotted cream and jam . . . or will their differences keep them steeped in rivalry forever?
Excerpt
Finn Dashwood stood in her doorway, looking both out of place and frustratingly at ease, a small container in his hands. His presence alone seemed to dwarf the dainty decor, and the contrast of his dark jeans and fitted gray Henley against the pastel paradise of her tea shop was almost laughable.
He wasn’t a Darcy. Or a Knightley. Or a Brandon.
So he shouldn’t make it work.
And yet . . . he did.
Her gaze drifted to the container he carried, and her heartbeat skittered. Had he actually brought her something?
Could it be that the jerk had a conscience?
“Good afternoon, Miss Austen.”
His voice! That unfair, glorious British accent dipped in baritone.
“Welcome to Tea Thy—” Rosemary’s greeting cut off as her pale-green eyes locked onto Finn. “Goodness. Sakes. Alive.”
“Don’t start,” Daphne muttered under her breath, shooting Rosemary a look, but it wasno use. The woman stared with sheer appreciation and absolutely no self-control of her facial muscles. Nothing like reinforcing Finn’s ego with Rosemary’s impression of a cartoon character who’d just seen a twelve-foot sandwich.
Finn’s grin crooked, clearly missing nothing from the little exchange and Rosemary’s near hyperventilation.
“That new creation looks very suspiciously unlike tea.” He nodded toward the milkshake in her hand.
The residual chill from the ice cream evaporated beneath the sudden flush in her cheeks.
“I happen to serve many things in my shop besides tea, Mr. Dashwood. If you’d taken the time to ask rather than tossing around uninformed critiques, I’d have been happy to enlighten you.”
Why did he seem to bring out her snarky side? And why did she suddenly want to go cook three batches of dark-chocolate croissants.
And why did he have to possess such expressive eyes? Her fingers tightened around the glass in her hands. Tea should only prove a temptation in liquid form.
Not eye color.
“Now, Daphne-honey, that ain’t no way to talk to our new neighbor.”
Granny D had made remarkable speed from her table to the door, clicking her tongue like a chicken on the hunt. “Lord have mercy,” she exclaimed, fanning herself dramatically with a weathered hand adorned with tarnished silver rings. “If you’d told me handsome was comin’ to town, I’d have worn my good teeth.”
Finn turned, brows high, then broke into a slow, amused grin. “Good afternoon, ma’am.” He offered his hand. “Finn Dashwood.”
“You sound as good as you look, don’t ya’?” Granny D hummed her appreciation as she circled him, making no attempt to hide her appraisal. Why did Daphne feel as if the woman was one step away from checking his teeth like a prize stallion at auction?
She almost whimpered.
There were wonderful things about small southern towns.

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for The Hometown Cop’s Forever Family by Tara Randel, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
About The Book
Title:The Hometown Cop’s Forever Family Series: A Golden, Georgia Romance #3 Author: Tara Randel Publisher: Harlequin Heartwarming Release Date: April 28, 2026 Genre: Wholesome Contemporary Romance
Solving crimes
And falling in love!
Charming, small-town Golden, Georgia, has everything Briana Connelly needs—her four-year-old daughter, her family, and her job as a police officer. When her former best friend, Jackson Walker, returns suddenly and is made her partner at work, she’s forced to face the events that drove them apart. With a mysterious theft to investigate, spending time with Jax is unavoidable…and easier than she’d like. Especially when his effortless warmth wins over her precious daughter. As a deeper connection grows between them, he starts to feel like a part of Briana’s little family. But if overcoming the past means admitting their true feelings—that might be the biggest risk of all.
USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR
From Harlequin Heartwarming: Wholesome stories of love, compassion and belonging.
Excerpt
“Right on time,” her boss, Police Chief Brady Davis, said as he exited his office with a file folder in hand. “Follow me to the conference room.”
His request could only mean one thing. The identity of the newest addition to the PD was about to be revealed.
After Briana’s partner had left to work with fire and rescue as a paramedic, it had been a hush-hush process to find a replacement, which was over the top for Brady.
“I still don’t understand why you haven’t told me who it is,” Briana griped.
“I didn’t want to get ahead of myself. It took a lot of back-and-forth negotiations to get him to uproot his life and move here.”
So, it was a guy.
Brady pointed in the direction of the conference room. “Besides, you were off for a few days when I confirmed the hire.”
True. She’d taken a long weekend to spend quality time with her daughter. Most days she juggled a hectic schedule and from time to time took a long weekend to focus on Cami.
Since her daughter was only four, Briana didn’t want to miss any milestones, a worry that came with working long hours and being a single mom. Brady did his best to accommodate her schedule, instilling his philosophy that a happy home life made for more productive officers.
Briana dropped her bag by her desk and hurried to catch up with Brady who was striding across the room. “He’s finally here?”
“Yes,” Brady said over his shoulder. “That’s why I want you to join me.”
More curious than ever, a trait that made her good at her job but often got her into trouble, Briana caught up and followed Brady into the room. She stopped short when a tall, dark-haired man rose from the chair. His piercing blue eyes, so very familiar to Briana, shone with an intensity she’d never admit she missed.
“Briana.”
Her mouth dropped open, but she quickly regrouped to save face.
“Jackson?” she asked, trying to moderate her tone so the higher pitch didn’t reach into the frequency only dogs heard.
“This isn’t going to be awkward, is it?” Brady asked in a serious tone, a tone he rarely used unless he meant business. His gaze moved between the two.

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for A Girl’s Guide to Having it All by Leslie Kirby DeVooght, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
About The Book
Title:A Girl’s Guide to Having it All Series: Magnolia Bluff #3 Author:Leslie Kirby DeVooght Publisher: Lanier Price Publishing Release Date: April 30, 2026 Genre: Contemporary Women’s Fiction with Romance
She mastered her career. Finding a husband? Not so much.
High-powered political lobbyist Carleigh Chastain turns thirty-five with an impressive résumé, a packed calendar, and no love life to speak of. When her longtime friend—and former marriage-pact partner—Lawson announces he’s marrying a woman he barely knows, Carleigh does what any sensible best friend would do: she drops everything in DC and jets to Magnolia Bluff, Georgia, determined to save him from a costly mistake.
Instead, her plans unravel, forcing Carleigh to confront the choices she’s made—and the ones she’s avoided.
Meanwhile, Spencer MacDowell, her steady, loyal best friend since law school, is done waiting in the friend zone.
As faith, friendship, and romance collide, Carleigh wonders if she’s been too busy chasing success to notice where God—and her heart—have been pointing all along. Funny, heartfelt, and romantic, this story asks what “having it all” really means.
Excerpt
The first rays of the sun made the copper highlights glimmer amongst the waves of her dark auburn hair.
My fingers itched to thread their way through her long locks and draw her closer. “You go first.” As all the moisture in my mouth evaporated, I clasped my hands in my lap and observed how the flesh around my knuckles whitened.
“You’re the best. After college, I didn’t think I’d find another friend like Lawson. I don’t know how I scored two amazing guy friends. It’s too bad Lawson insists on living all the way in Georgia. I’m so glad I’ll be working in the same city as you, aanndd . . .” Carleigh drew out the one-syllable word.
We’d both taken jobs in DC and found the perfect apartments, but we’d been waiting to see if we got the units. I shot my gaze to her. “No way.”
Nodding wildly, her smile stretched across her face. “Yes, we got the apartments on the hill. We’ll be living across the hall from each other. Just like on Friends.”
Friends . . . friends . . . friends.
Carleigh was so happy, and to see her smile was worth the detour in our relationship.
I gathered her into a hug. “Fantastic.”
I just hoped we’d be more on the timeline of Monica and Chandler and not Ross and Rachel. But at least they all ended up together in the end.

Widowed Sarah Carmella has a wonderful daughter and fulfilling work running her grandparents’ horse rescue. So there’s absolutely no reason for regrets and what-ifs when her ex-husband, Pete O’Keefe, arrives in town for a mutual friend’s wedding. She and Pete eloped young, then went their separate ways when tragedy struck. But memories of their whirlwind romance and Pete’s charm have Sarah fearing for her heart. Because Pete would never settle down in tiny Fern Hollow. Fresh out of the army, he already has another job chasing danger lined up. Yet, could falling for each other all over again become the adventure they both need?
Excerpt
Sarah shook her head in an adamant showing that the option was not on the table. “Pete isn’t staying. He has a new job in Phoenix and he’ll never be content living here. And most importantly, I am not opening to a romantic relationship. Especially one long distance with no hope of that ever changing. I was blessed with a good marriage with Mike. I already had my prince charming. Now that he’s gone, I’m content staying single and devoting myself to the ranch and Chloe. I don’t need anything more.” No more heartbreak, that’s for sure. Nothing could have prepared her for Mike’s death. If she offered herself to Pete only for him leave her, she may never recover.

While I generally liked A Weekend on Allyson Island by Susannah B. Lewis, the book features characters who have A LOT going on — eating disorders, addictions, compulsions, domestic abuse — whew! If you like books that explore these issues, but only want to read about one at a time 😉 , here’s a list of reading recommendations.
Addiction
Stay with Me by Becky Wade
When acclaimed Bible study author Genevieve Woodward receives an anonymous letter referencing her parents’ past, she returns to her hometown in the Blue Ridge Mountains to chase down her family’s secret. However, it’s Genevieve’s own secret that catches up to her when Sam Turner, owner of a historic farm, uncovers the source of shame she’s worked so hard to hide.
Sam has embraced his sorrow, his isolation, and his identity as an outsider. He’s spent years carving out both career success and peace of mind. The last thing he wants is to rent the cottage on his property to a woman whose struggles stir his worst failure back to life. Yet can he bear to turn her away right when she needs him most?
Domestic Abuse
Dancing on Glass by Pamela Binnings Ewen
In the steamy city of New Orleans in 1974, Amalise Catoir sees Phillip Sharp as a charming, magnetic artist, unlike any man she has known. A young lawyer herself, raised in a small town and on the brink of a career with a large firm, she is strong and successful, yet sometimes too trusting and whimsical. Ama’s rash decision to marry Phillip proves to be a mistake as he becomes overly possessive, drawing his wife away from family, friends, and her faith. His insidious, dangerous behavior becomes her dark, inescapable secret.
In this lawyer’s unraveling world, can grace survive Ama’s fatal choice? What would you do when prayers seem to go unanswered, faith has slipped away, evil stalks, and you feel yourself forever dancing on shattered glass?
Eating Disorder
Invisible by Ginny Yttrup
When an overweight woman who’s hidden from romance discovers a handsome doctor is in love with her, will she finally risk her heart?
Ellyn–chef, cafe owner, and lover of butter–is hiding something behind her extra weight. While she sees the good in others, she has only condemnation for herself. So when a handsome widower claims he’s attracted to Ellyn, she’s certain there’s something wrong with him.
Sabina–tall, slender, and exotic–left her husband, young adult daughters, and a thriving counseling practice to spend a year in Northern California where she says she’s come to heal. But it seems to Ellyn that Sabina’s doing more hiding than healing. Why?Twila has come out of hiding and is working to gain back the pounds she lost when her only goal was to disappear. When her eating disorder is triggered again, she’s tempted to go back into hiding.
As these women’s lives intertwine, will they dare to come out of hiding?
Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for A Child to Bind Them by Donna Gartshore, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
About The Book
Title:A Child to Bind Them Author: Donna Gartshore Publisher: Love Inspired Release Date: April 28, 2026 Genre: Inspirational Romance
Can one little girl… Heal wounds from the past?
Landing a contractor job at New Hope Ranch finally allows Mitch Cooper to give his daughter, Gemma—who has a developmental delay—a stable home…if he can find reliable childcare. But when therapy horse trainer Aubrey Simpson eagerly offers to look after the three-year-old, Mitch finds himself hesitant to agree. Realizing Gemma is the baby she gave up for adoption, Aubrey will do anything to help the little girl—even spend time with her cautious father. But as unexpected feelings grow, will Aubrey reveal the truth…and risk her newfound family?
Excerpt
Maybe I shouldn’t have stepped in. Maybe that made Mitch look bad in front of the guys.
In her room, Aubrey was pondering what the next few weeks or months would bring for her, especially as the construction and renovations began to move into the areas she worked and taught in.
Her surroundings, as with all the places she’d lived in over the past few years since she’d had to give up her baby, were largely free from personal style and décor. She always tried to keep her living space as impersonal as possible so if she had to pick up and move on, she wouldn’t feel like she was leaving pieces of herself behind.
Her clientele was already starting to dwindle, as some decided they would prefer to start or continue lessons when the reno was fully completed. She knew the Duffys were doing their best to keep her busy and to assure her that she still had a role here, such as asking her to introduce Mitch to the workers and give him some tips about the horses, but there was no way those kinds of things were going to fill up her days.
This was the kind of situation that usually made her start getting restless, start looking elsewhere and thinking about where she could go next that would keep her busy enough to suppress the grief and remorse that never quite went away.
