What a delightful story -- no heavy sex scenes, no F-words, no violence -- not that I'm against those, it's just a nice change, just lots of interaction and angst!

Paige is a hard working elementary school teacher, beloved by her students, and also a cjhildren's fantasy short story writer. Her kids love her stories, but her agent can't seem to sell them. Dylan is overworked and not really happy with his work and life at present. They meet accidently in a bakery, and at first glance neither can see any reason they'd get along. Then there's a cabin that goes up for sale, the same cabin that Paige is living in and that Dylan spent several good summers with his grandparents. A rivalry builds up because both want it; Dylan can easily afford it while Paige is struggling till an unexpected story sale happens.

It's definitely a Hallmark story. You know going in that it's going to end well. It's just the getting there that's a bit unknown. Paige's best friend Jessica and Dylan's sister Dee are great supporting players. I was smiling and cheering on both main characters as they figured out what to do with both the cabin and their lives.

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

Sunrise Cabin is a fantastic romance. I enjoyed the plot,characters and setting. I look forward to reading more of this author’s books. I recommend to readers who enjoy a clean romance. My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my digital arc this is my unbiased review.

This book reminds me of the saying home is where the heart is. What a beautiful, heartwarming tale of a cute cabin with beautiful sunrises and fond, warm memories of the people who once lived there. It is also a story about life and what is really important. Is that working in a job you hate or following your heart? I so enjoyed reading about Paige Reynolds who is so cheery and optimistic and Dylan Cain who is trying to move up the corporate ladder to a VP position, Maybe opposites do attract if you add some "fairy dust." I loved how strong Paige was even though most people would have given up after all of the rejections her children's books received. That made me think of real authors and what they must go through. Reading this story made me feel hopeful and blessed. We could all use a Sunrise Cabin! I received an advance copy of this boo and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

Hallmark has done it again! Except this time, I wasn't already familiar with the story before reading the book. I really found myself enjoying the back and forth of this story. Who will get the cabin? Will they end up together? Who deserves their happy ending and can they both have one? I love the rich history and back story into each of the characters which makes you feel like they both have a right to be the one in the cabin. This was by far my favorite book by Hallmark Publishing thus far and I can't wait to keep reading more!

Thank you to my friends at NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing for sending me an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Hallmark nooks are the absolute best books. I love how the book ties into the movie. Hope they make more

*I received this e-book in exchange for an honest review. A huge thank you to the publisher and NetGalley!*

When it comes to Hallmark movies, I am a big sap. I know they’re cheesy and predictable, but I just love them and cannot get enough! So, as you can imagine, Hallmark Publishing books give me that same feel and I love them for it.


Sunrise Cabin was such a fun and relaxing read! To my knowledge, it is the first book from Hallmark Publishing that is not based off of one of their movies, which was really quite refreshing. That being said, while the story was not one that was a movie, it still had all the classic qualities of any successful Hallmark Channel movie.

I really adored the characters in this novel. I loved Paige’s positive, free-spirited personality and sunny disposition. I also loved that Dylan was the classic businessman who lost himself in the hustle and bustle of life, but still had a heart of gold underneath it all. Their relationship was so sweet and just so much fun to read about. The whole concept of the story revolving around a rustic cabin that they both want to buy was so fun, too!

The setting of Sunrise Cabin was so perfect for this time of year, too! Everything about it had such an autumnal vibe. The little details, such as pumpkins on porches and Pagie’s festive dresses, really helped build such a festive and fun atmosphere. This was such a perfect October read!

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. The romance was sweet and the setting made it the perfect fall read. Yes, it was predictable, but it’s Hallmark – I wouldn’t want it any other way! If you love happily ever afters and Hallmark movies, I would definitely recommend Sunrise Cabin!

Definitely found this to be a sweet, engrossing read. Sunrise Cabin is a heartwarming story with some great themes, wonderful characters and beautifully told by a very talented author. I look forward to reading more from Stacey Donovan!

I received a Hallmark newsletter that a new series was being launched.
I was interested to be able to preview.

Elementary School Teacher
starting with a marvelous view of the of the sunrise on the cabin's stone patio,
feeling the chill of autumn through her flannel pajamas
beginning her morning ritual of thankful list.
I am going to start my days like this now!

I am going to look at Mondays as "Clean Slate Mondays" now.

This book made me think it should be a Hallmark movie.

A beautiful place to match an equally beautiful tale... Paige is sweet, hopeful, and thankful, which in this day and age, we need to be reminded of. She also loves Mondays. She calls them her Clean Slate day. I loved her and her first grade class. Dylan is in need of some of Paige's special magic and with a home like the cabin and her small town, this story will have anyone hoping for the movie.

Paige teaches first-graders at a local elementary school and loves to have fun, laugh and enjoy life with friends. She’s been living in a cute little rented log cabin for years and loves it. The owner announces that he wants to sell the cabin and Paige is distraught. She won’t be able to buy it unless she can come up with a down payment. Another buyer is interested in the cabin, handsome and successful Dylan who literally grew up in the house and has the money to buy now. This sweet story of dueling home-buyers is so charming and fun. Great addition to contemporary romance by Hallmark Publishing.

An egalley of this book was made available by the publisher in exchange for a honest review.

Fun, fast, clean-cut romance novel. Well written. Fun to follow the story of a 1st grade teacher trying to save her cabin and an investment officer who wants the same cabin for sentimental reasons. Fun read!

A sweet story with the cabin at the centre. This was entertaining enough but a special something was missing for me.

Wonderful, sweet romance that I would highly recommend. I really hope that this is made into a hallmark movie!

I really loved this book by Stacey Donovan! It's such a sweet story. The characters were wonderful, it's just a feel good type of story. This was my first book by Stacey Donovan, but I definitely will be looking for more from her.

There are so many memorable moments in Sunrise Cabin. Readers will be touched by the connections to the cabin itself. Donovan crafts a perfect sense of place through out the entire story.

Delightful sweet romance from Hallmark. Can't wait to watch the movie. Great reminder how small the world really is. I really enjoyed reading this book.

Wow.

The very first original novel to be released from Hallmark Channel and I love it. Seriously, what a cute book that is perfect for all occasions.

I adored Paige who reminded me of myself. Youthful at heart, creative, fiercely protective of those she loves, and a little misunderstood. And Dylan was right there in the middle of it. I enjoyed watching the two of them duke it out over who gets the cabin. Paige adores the place. Dylan wants it because it has sentimental value.

Like all Hallmark related material, this book is clean. No profanity or anything sexual that you need to worry about. Appropriate for all ages.

Sunrise Cabin was fantastic! Well written, sweet, fun and so delightful.

Stacey Donovan really created magic.

I really loved Dylan and Paige.
Total opposites but completely perfect for each other.

Dylan is an overworked businessman, Paige is a very happy school teacher. Both want to buy the cabin Paige has been renting. Things are bound to get messy.

I think Hallmark fans are going to be happy with this book. I could totally see this being turned into a movie.

I highly recommend this story.

What could a teacher with a sunny disposition and a successful, yet unsatisfied businessman have in common? Why, a quaint little cabin in the woods, of course!

I loved how Paige began her mornings with gratitude, listing what she was most thankful for, while watching the sunrise. Also, she loved colorful things, from nature to clothing. She also loved life and Paige's joy often spread to those around her.

Dylan's growing relationship with Paige encouraged him to seek healing and rebuild damaged relationships. He became more tender hearted and joy began re-entering his days, his attitude and his life.

Paige loved her quaint, rental cabin and it had become her dream home. Dylan was drawn to the cabin by warm memories and happier times.

As the cabin became available to purchase, things between Paige and Dylan became complicated and strained. Will their relationship survive a situation where there can be only one winner? Or, is there a way for both Dylan and Paige to win?

Paige and Dylan learned that sometimes we receive blessings that are even better than anything we dare to wish or pray for.

Thank-you to NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing for a copy of this delightful book.

The sunrise cabin was the sweetest novel for me to read this September! Paige Reynolds is a first grade teacher who lives in a beautiful cabin that fills her with joy and inspiration every day. Unfortunately her landlord decides to sell and Paige has to try to buy the cabin for herself.

Dylan, the very attractive businessman, who can have anything he wants decides that he wants this cabin as well. While both Paige and Dylan take the time that is needed to learn about one another and try to understand why each other wants the cabin so badly, they discover there's a lot more to each other than what meets the eye and a hopeful spark between the two ignites. Giving me every bit of the fall romance that I was craving.

This is the first Hallmark novel that I have read and I was not disappointed. The fact that it was an original Hallmark novel made it feel even more special to me. I had the chance to read the story first, then at some point, because I know it will be made, I’ll watch the movie! I loved the writing style that the author chose for this book, I was able to really be a part of both main character’s lives and relate to each of them more personally.

I received a lot of humor, flirtation, and friendly banter from Paige and Dylan and couldn’t have asked for a better leading pair. Family and friends, even the landlord himself offered wisdom and comic relief, as well as heartfelt ones that truly tied this story together.

I think that all romance fans will love this Hallmark original. It's based around the fall season so we get all the vibes of autumn with the color changing trees, the celebration of Halloween and so much more. The Hallmarkian and romantic in me was completely satisfied with Sunrise cabin and I cannot wait for the next novel by Stacey Donovan!
