Admiral: Thomas Kydd
This is the only Kristin Hannah book I've read so far, but I'll definitely be reading more! SOOOOO good! I saw the Netflix show first and bawled my eyes out and I cried just as much reading the book. Very much a story of friendship and love.

The Gingerbread Bakery (Dream Harbor, Book 5)|
I love a good "fake relationship" story and this one didn't disappoint!

I fell in love with this sweet story! Two widowed people meet because their daughters are in the same class at school. They start having playdates and feelings begin. They start spending time together like a family and it just feels right.
