😍😍😍 Yay! Another amazing book is released into the book world!

What a wonderful ending to a great series!

Sloane Madison and Max Cirillo were once best friends and business partners, building their dream company from the ground up. But four years ago, a devastating fallout led to Sloane being forced out of the company she helped create. While Max turned their college project into a billion-dollar company, Sloane moved on, launching an etiquette business of her own—successful but nowhere near as well as Max... I love every Becky Wade book I read. From her very first Porter Family series to the Sons of Scandal series, she has a beautiful way of creating believable, flawed, and lovable characters that draw me in every time. Uneasy Street is no exception! [read more]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pepper D. Basham you’ve done it again! You made me laugh, swoon, and blink back tears. As a fellow tall lady, I fell in love with Katie and her deep longing for love and a place to call home. I felt like I was right there with her, exploring Scotland and experiencing every magical moment. This story was beautifully written, laugh-out-loud funny, and an absolute delight to read. I’m truly sad to say goodbye to Katie and Graeme—I could follow their adventures forever. What a fantastic book! Highly recommend!

One of my favorite sewing notions to create. Magnetic Pincushions! Say goodbye to lost needles with these cute handmade needle minders! ✨ Perfect for sewing, quilting, or cross-stitching, they’re as pretty as they are practical. 🌸 I am in love with my new fabric. Which one’s your favorite?
