“This emotional romance is an easy choice to throw in the beach bag.” – Publishers Weekly
My Take: Although it’s a light and easy read, the story is quite a rollercoaster (in a good way). It’s a really sweet and enjoyable story with likable characters (a must for me). The location and community reminds me of home in a certain way, which I love! Definitely a great choice for relaxing at the beach or pool!

“An ideal escape for romance readers seeking the comfort of a hopeful, life-affirming love story.” – Shelf Awareness
My Take: This was a feel good read with a super cute story! Loved the small town setting as I grew up in a very small town and can relate lol. I also thought the characters were fun and hilarious! Although it’s a romance story, it’s well-done and incredibly sweet. The perfect summer beach read!

My Take: Wow, this was so well-written and beautifully told! The story itself is incredibly thought-provoking and emotional at times. It really makes you think about the choices you would make when faced with certain decisions and situations. Plus the author seems to have put a TON of time into researching the subject, which I appreciate!
The Codebreaker’s Secret by Sara Ackerman
On Sale August 2nd, 2022
In a Nutshell: A brilliant female codebreaker. An “unbreakable” Japanese naval code. A pilot on a top-secret mission that could change the course of WWII. The Codebreaker’s Secret is a dazzling story of love and intrigue set during America’s darkest hour.
“Sara Ackerman never disappoints!” – Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code.
My Take: Such an incredible story! I absolutely loved the the dual timeline – both stories were really interesting and I loved seeing how they came together (always love these in books).
