Margaret Sutherland (1)

Seven Little Words is the first work I have read by Margaret Sutherland and it certainly will not be my last. I really enjoyed this story. Ms. Sutherland has created characters that are very realistic with very realistic problems.

Cathy Carruthers has some emotional issues from her recent split with her boyfriend. She is running low on self confidence and has a mound of problems. Her grandmother experiences a fall that requires an extended stay in the hospital for rehab. So Cathy takes on the show more responsibility for all the things her grandmother takes care plus helping keep her grandmother's spirits up. She's also thinking of a Career change.

David Hillier has a few problems of his own. His father has been ill and David is taking care of his father's service dog. He has enjoyed his footloose and fancy free life. It allows him to go do what he wants to do when he wants to do it. Now he is hit with having to make a few choices. There is some major drama and a few scenes that had me scared for a little while. I don't want to give you too many details I will tell you the drama played out great though and I enjoyed the suspense and how it ended.

I enjoyed how these two formed a friendship while doing their best not to give into their attraction. The attraction is just too much though and they finally are unable to help themselves. However, there are many hurdles that they must cross in order to get to their happily ever after.

There is one major solution to a problem that I thought was just the perfect solution. Of course I can not tell you what the problem is or how they solve the problem. This would totally take the fun out of the story for you. So you must click the link and go purchase this book to find out for yourself.

I love dogs so with two completely adorable dogs in this book, the nice romance, and great storyline, this book hit a LOT of my high marks. I loved Seven Little Words!

I really enjoyed Ms. Sutherland's writing style and storyline. I was kept completely entertained thoughout the whole book. I know I will certainly be looking forward to read more of her work in the feature.

I was given the wonderful opportunity to read this book so I may share my opinion. As always it has been my great pleasure to share my opinion with you. show less

Saving Shelby Summers by Margaret Sutherland

This sweet romance set down under sees a widowed father and young woman saving one another – in more ways than one.

Shelby had a traumatic event in her teens that has made her fearful of men. While riding her friend’s horse one day she falls into trouble and is saved by a stranger. That stranger shows up later as the locum veterinarian for the clinic she is receptionist in. They get off to a rocky start but she eventually ends up working as show more nanny to his young daughter. As they deal with Caity’s acting out, contend with their interest in one another, deal with work upheavals and get to know their neighbors their lives eventually come together and a HEA is found for everyone.

This was a story of people finding support in friends, making new friends, what family means all wrapped up in a bow that leads from romance to love and a fairytale ending.

Thank you to NetGalley and The Wild Rose Press, Inc. for the ARC – This is my honest review.

I have now had the pleasure of reading two books by Margaret Sutherland. I have found them both to be fabulously written stories with interesting characters that I enjoyed meeting. I found Valentine Masquerade to be a wonderfully exciting read.

Caitlin has suffered heartache from a horrible relationship that did not turn out the way she expected. She finds it the perfect time to leave New Zealand for a few weeks and visit her sister and family in Australia.

She attends a New Years Eve party show more with her family where she meets a handsome prince. He has been crowned the prince that evening. She really isn't in the market for a relationship but she finds Prince Will to be a very charming and handsome man. Before she knows it she accepts a date for after the party. I love that these two meet on New Years Eve, that night holds a special meaning for me as well. I think that was another reason this story holds an extra special meaning for me.

Caitlin and Will have an instant attraction and form an instant connection. I really enjoyed watching these two get to know each other. There is plenty of drama and misunderstandings between these two that certainly kept me flipping pages. Just about the time I thought they had everything worked out and were leading to a happily ever after something else happened.

Valentine Masquerade is one of those stories that I just could not help myself from falling in love with. This is one of those really sweet romance stories that leaves you with an aww feeling when you are finished reading it. I have found that to be the case with both books I have read by Margaret Sutherland. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us lucky readers next. I have a feeling it will be another fabulous story!

If you enjoy a romance with a few twist and turns on the way to a nice warm fuzzy feeling at the end, I think you will really enjoy this story. I know I certainly did.

I was given the opportunity to read this book so that I may share my opinion with you. As always it has been my pleasure to share my thoughts with you on Valentine Masquerade. show less
