Breaking The Story by Ashley Farley

Breaking the Story (Scottie's Adventures, #1)Breaking the Story by Ashley Farley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This follows the book Merry Mary from Ashley Farley. It is a well written sequel and delves into more of Scottie's life and misadventures. There is romance and mystery intertwined with danger and a political election year with a chance to upset the Democratic candidate. It really is two weeks in the life of a photojournalist full of twists and turns. Good guys and bad guys abound. All in all, it is another interestingly different plot written by a great storyteller.

Beyond the Garden by Ashley Farley

Beyond the Garden (Magnolia Series #2)Beyond the Garden by Ashley Farley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Wow! This book came out this morning and I was busy with the release party on Facebook when I decided to read a chapter or two. Three hours later, I am finished. Could not put it down. What an amazing story of love, kindness, and mystery, with unique sub plots throughout. This novel starts out seven months after Julian and Ella get married and quite a lot happens in a short period of time. You will want to laugh with the characters, cry with them, and even warn them of the danger lurking around them. There is even a surprise ending on the last few pages. I adored that part. Can't tell you anything about it, because that will give away too much. Be prepared to read this in one sitting. Ashley Farley weaves a great tale that sucks you in and will stay with you long after you are finished.

Saturdays at Sweeney's by Ashley Farley

Saturdays at Sweeney's (Sweeney Sisters Series)Saturdays at Sweeney's by Ashley Farley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Having pre-ordered Saturdays st Sweeney's, I thought I would read it as soon as I received it. I didn't cause I was bummed about it being the last of the series. After reading it, I realized that the author chose the perfect place to end the chapter on the Sweeney sisters. It couldn't have ended any better and all the mysteries were tied up neatly. There were new dilemmas so it wasn't the same old, same old, but lots of familiar faces that I came to love. Each of the sisters faced separate tragedies and one that would affect the entire family right down to little Bitsy. Excellent plot. It grabs you and won't let you go until the last sentence. The characters are real. The locations perfectly described. I would like to live in Prospect. I highly recommend this book and the entire series.
