Book Review of Refuge at Pine Lake by RCJ


Refuge at Pine Lake by Rose Chandler Johnson.

Book blurb below!
"Robin Lancaster, a twenty-six-year-old former kindergarten teacher, has her summer and her life all figured out. She's ready to be on her own, writing and illustrating her children's stories at her family's beloved lake house. Once there, she intends to rekindle a romance with Caleb Jackson, the area's top hunting and fishing guide, and bag him for herself.Complications arise from the start when Robin finds out her mother has rented the lake house to a man they know nothing about. Matthew McLaughlin, forty-year-old widowed university professor and author from California, shows up at Pine Lake in crisis. A sabbatical might be his only hope to save much more than his career. He needs a place of refuge. Sharing the lake house with a lighthearted young woman and her dog is the last thing on his mind. Caleb Jackson has his own plans. He's used to things going his way, but a man staying in Robin's house presents unforeseen challenges. When paths unavoidably entangle for these three, hearts are on the line."

I adored this book!! It was... Ehhh.... At the beginning, but after that, it was AMAZING!
Robin was truly an amazing character, I loved that she illustrated children's books. It all sounded really beautiful.
And the description of the lake house, ughhhhhhhh, let me live there!!!!
Change in a person can either way, and for Matthew it was fantastic! I loved him after he wasn't so grumpy! 🙄😂
Her dog, Callie, is a ton like my dog, Cassie. So the scenes (which was a lot of them) that had her in it made me smile and laugh. I enjoyed them very much.
So check it out on Amazon, it's a great book!
Thank you to Rose chandler Johnson, for writing the book, and thank you to prism book tours for sending it to me for my honest review!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five out of five stars!

Losing someone you love

Now, many people have lost someone they love, I lost my grandpa right before Christmas.  I was devastated, but there wasn't anything I could do. My brain told me it was coming when he was sent to stay in the hospital, yet my heart had hope.  I really wanted to be able to see him again, it will happen one day in Heaven, but not earth. A few weeks before he was hospitalized (hope its spelled right)  I was talking to him on the phone, he was telling me how I used sit on his lap, he'd scratch my back, and I'd beg him to take me to Buddy Freddie's, I love that place, and still would had it not closed down. I have one last memory of going there on my sixth birthday before we moved.  From Florida to Texas, quite a distance by car. See, everytime we would talk, he would ask me the same threw questions, he was joking around but they were real, I won't give out this questions because I don't want to, but I wish I could've said yes one of those times he asked but I

Review of When Through Deep Waters

Image
I just finished reviewing this book and I have to say, it was fabulous!! Tyndale House Publishing are the ones who I went through to review it. They  are awesome! Anywho, onto the book! I have never read anything like it before, but I loved it. I was skeptical at first, but it turned out great! There was intrigue, mystery, heartache, and sweet dreams,etc etc. Alicen was a troubled woman who was overcoming a lot of things, and I think that Rachelle Dekker wrote the story well. The words and sentences to me matched up with Life After by Katie Ganshert. Which is a book I love! So good job Rachelle!! The only thing I didn't like about it was that there was too much death. The first death was necessary for the story, but I didn't like the second death. The back cover: "Alicen McCaffrey finally has the life her mother always dreamed for her: beautiful home in Santa Monica, successful husband, adorable daughter. Then tragedy blows her carefully assembled façade to p
