A Magical Time of Year

 Today I am sharing book 4 in the Peachtree Bluff series, Christmas in Peachtree Bluff.  Normally, I would wait, but the fifth book in the series just came out this month: Falling
for Peachtree Bluff. Who doesn’t love a good Christmas story? Also, if you are new to this series, there will be spoilers coming.  If you love small towns and wonderful communities, keep reading!

Synopsis: 


“When the Murphy women are in trouble, they always know they can turn to their mother, Ansley. So when eldest daughter Caroline and her husband announce they are divorcing—and fifteen-year-old daughter Vivi acts out in response—Caroline, at her wits end, can’t think of anything to do besides leave her with Ansley in Peachtree Bluff for the holidays. After all, how much trouble can one teenager get into on a tiny island?


Quite a lot, as it turns out.


As the “storm of the century” heads toward Peachtree Bluff, Ansley and her husband, Jack, with Vivi in tow, are grateful they’re planning to leave for the trip of a lifetime. But Vivi’s recklessness forces the trio to shelter in place during the worst hurricane Peachtree has ever seen. With no power, no provisions, and the water rising, the circumstances become dire very quickly…and the Murphy sisters soon realize it’s up to them to conduct a rescue mission. With the bridges closed and no way to access Peachtree Bluff by land or air, they set sail on Caroline’s boat, The Starlite Sisters, determined to rebuild their beloved town—and their family.” (amazon.com)


My Thoughts: 


I love Christmas novels!  I am also a fan of the Murphy sisters.  What could go wrong at Christmas?  This is my first time reading this book.  I loved learning about Peachtree Bluff and the holiday activities. Kristy has a way with her writing that makes you feel like you are connecting to that character’s dilemma and want to advise them on their missteps.  The book is well written, and the pacing is good.  I can’t wait to see where she takes us in Falling for Peachtree Bluff.

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...
