5-STAR--A GIRL AND HER CHALLENGING HORSE. A LOVELY AND ENGAGING STORY
I’m not a horse person. In fact horses in real life are a bit scary to me. However, I LOVE stories about the bond between horses and riders (think “Seabiscuit" or “Heartland"). So a woman training a wild horse? I’m in! The author mixes training details with emotional waves to nicely illustrate the myriad of challenges Haley faces.--This is a strong piece of writing and a compelling story. If you love a good “horse book,” don’t miss this one!
5 STAR--ENGAGING AND BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN
This reader was completely won over and found Saving Nevada to be both captivating and breathtaking!
5 STAR--AMAZING BOOK!!!!

ISLAND SUMMER--Award Winning!
WHEN A BETRAYED YOUNG WOMAN MOVES TO A CHARMING BEACH TOWN TO ESCAPE LOVE, AN UNLIKELY MATCHMAKER GETS INVOLVED
Physical therapist Emily McMillan broke off her troubled engagement to move to a charming, albeit tight-knit, seaside community for a new start. But will the locals accept her? She’s too quiet, too reserved and wants to hole up in her apartment to write her latest novel. When she treats a spunky patient, popularly known as Gran, she finds herself agreeing to a date with Gran’s handsome grandson.
An emotionally complex beach read, this love story reaches just beyond the sand dunes where the sea turtles nest and where the tides can wash away dreams.
5 STAR--I COULDN'T WAIT TO DIP MY TOES IN!
One of the things I loved about this book was that even if you haven't previously read Lori's two other Crystal Coast Series books "High Tide" and "Coffee Break" it was just as good to read on it's own. (Though I DO recommend both of her other books as well...) I enjoyed the wholesomeness of the characters and the storyline. One of the things I loved the most was Emily's brave decision to pick up, move to the coast and start over. Every time I pick up one of Lori's books it takes me away to that special place... the beach! If you long to be carried away to salty air, wild island horses and romance, you will not be disappointed.
5-STAR--BEAUTIFUL SUMMER ROMANCE
Loved this change of pace for me. I stepped out of my usual historic fiction books for a lighter story and I found it here. Well written, great story line. The story flowed easily. I read it in two days. Delightful.

COASTAL CHRISTMAS--Award Winning!
COULD THE LEGEND BE TRUE?
When Terri McMillan finds the perfect farmhouse on a salt marsh, an old dream reawakens to foster troubled teenaged girls. It’s no matter the small coastal town is her distant sister’s safe haven, a place where Terri is unwanted. But Terri is burnt-out on city life and the house’s charm is tempting, along with the myth that the house has Christmas magic. As the legend goes, whoever moves into the homestead will not only fall in love, but will be married by Christmas.
An emotionally complex beach read, this love story reaches just beyond the sand dunes where the sea turtles nest and where the tides can wash away dreams.
5 STAR--WHAT A SWEET STORY
I loved this book, Lori tells a story that is so thoughtful and sweet. I could see every detail of the surroundings and feel the love of the characters. Thank you for a very nice read.
5 STAR--NEVER SEE CHRISTMAS THE SAME
This book gave me hope, joy and made me fall in love with history and the mysteries of Christmas as Terri falls in love with Matt. Lori also gives insight into the process of fostering a child and all the emotions the decision evokes. Coastal Christmas is descriptive, vulnerable, and must be read year round. Hayes plunges into the truths women are multifaceted. Thank you for a brilliant read.
5 STAR--THE COAST AT CHRISTMAS. COULD IT GET ANY BETTER?
Terri McMillian thrives on city life, isn’t looking to move, and never makes snap decisions, but since when does that matter? ... If Terri’s initial captivation with an enchanting old two-story house for sale on the sound isn’t enough to sell her on coastal living, maybe it’s owner’s rugged good looks will. Add a box of old Vietnam letters and a teenage runaway to the mix, then sprinkle in a handful of Christmas magic, and you have an irresistible holiday read.
