Book Review - Three Makes A Family

Three Makes A Family 

Cari Lynn Webb 

April 2021 

Can love for a child… 

Make them a family? 

Lawyer Molly McKinney needs to be the best—now more than ever. Relocating to San Francisco means a chance to provide a stable income and home for her nine-month-old daughter. And defending former rival Drew Harrington against charges of witness tampering will boost her reputation. As they work to clear Drew’s name, their feelings grow. But does Molly have room in her life for love? 

Between The Pages 

I have been waiting for Drew’s story since he was introduced in his brother’s book, The Charm Offensive (book one in City By The Bay series). Drew is such a likable and charming character. His chemistry with Molly turns the pages on its own. Too many scenes had me fawning over Drew. Drew’s rescue of the puppies and their mother with his brother Brad, and each scene he held Molly’s daughter. Not only is the cover of this book captivating, but the story line is also enjoyable, which is all about character growth. A heartwarming romance that made me smile, laugh, and shed a tear. I highly recommend this book. I hope there’s another City By The Bay story in the works.

Book Review - Her Surprise Engagement

Her Surprise Engagement

Cari Lynn Webb 

July 2020 

A football star and a single mom… 

Teach each other to trust again 

To impress the executives buying her app, Nichole Moore enlists the help of old friend and pro quarterback Chase Jacobs. A pretend marriage is the perfect ruse: Chase’s celebrity status will impress the executives, while likable, hardworking Nichole could fix his fading career. But as their fake relationship plays out under the glare of the public eye, Nichole realizes her feelings might be the real deal… 

Between The Pages 

Book six of the City by the Bay Stories is so captivating. I could not put this book down. Chase and Nicole are the perfect leading couple. Their chemistry is immediate, which leads to complications for their fake marriage. Chase’s connection to Nicole’s son, Wesley, is sweet. There are a few twists in the story line that are fun, yet I hoped Wesley or Chase’s grandmother would know the marriage wasn’t real. The scene with Nicole in the wedding dress on the steps and Chase’s reaction was swoon worthy. This must read book is a touching romance of a renewed friendship expanding into something more.

Book Review - In Love By Christmas

In Love By Christmas

Cari Lynn Webb

December 2019 

This Christmas, two worlds collide 

…under the mistletoe! 

All Theo Taylor wants for Christmas is a profitable year-end and a flawless wedding for his sister. Hiring beautiful but unknown designer Josie Beck is a huge risk, especially when the Taylors’ reputation is at stake. Josie is sweet, kind and impossible to resist. But is Josie about to destroy Theo’s perfect wedding plan…or is she the answer to his heart’s secret Christmas wish? 

Between The Pages 

You’ll be in love with this story long before Christmas arrives. While Theo’s character takes a bit to grow on you, Josie is immediately likable. She has a such a sad background story, yet she has a huge heart. She is everybody’s best friend. The visual story telling is well-written which allows you to see every one of Josie’s designs. There are a few new cast members, and while I enjoyed Theo’s sister, his mother comes off a little immature and selfish, though there is a likable side to her that adds fun to her scenes. This story has it all…emotion, drama, laughter, smiles, and even the shedding of a tear or two.

Book Review - Single Dad To The Rescue

Single Dad To The Rescue

Cari Lynn Webb 

August 2019 

He offered her help

And he found love 

Her home destroyed by a wildfire, Brooke Ellis finds temporary shelter at the home of paramedic Dan Sawyer and his young son, Ben. With the addition of Brooke and her lively fur family, Dan finds his carefully planned routine delightfully turned upside down. And his carefully guarded heart daring to trust in love again. When his ex-wife suddenly reappears, will it be Brooke to the rescue? 

Between The Pages 

Book four of the City by the Bay Stories is an emotional journey. Brooke’s story is heartbreaking, and I couldn’t wait for her to find her happy ending with Dan and his son, Ben. Dan also has a difficult road to travel when his ex-wife and brother show up on his doorstep, however the family drama adds a significant pull into this story. Watching the friendship grow into more between Dad and Brooke is captivating, as is Ben’s attachment to Brooke. The animals are an additional bonus! This story is so engaging, I didn’t want to put it down.
