Sunrise Cabin

What a wonderful book! The way Stacey Donovan writes you can feel every emotion and feel like you are there. This is a very well written book and the recipe at the end sounds delicious. My favorite saying in the book was when Paige told Dylan that her favorite day of the week was Monday. She called it "Clean Slate Monday." Because if your last week-or last month, or your last year, or whatever- if you had disappointments, or you messed up, you can forget all about that. Because it's a brand new week. A fresh start. I can't wait to see the Hallmark movie of this book. Thank you Hallmark Publishing via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this great book. I really enjoyed it.This is my honest opinion.

I was so excited to read this book because it features a first grade teacher and I'm a first grade teacher myself!! It couldn't have been a more perfect read for me or for fall! The unique thing about this book compared to the other Hallmark books is that there is no movie that goes along with it. This allowed me to imagine the characters the way I wanted instead of picturing the actors in my head as I read the story. I really hope this becomes a Hallmark movie in the future because I loved it! The book was as good as the cover is gorgeous! I can't recommend this book enough!

“This could be a Hallmark movie!” Well, yes it could, and I believe it will be! When you think of Hallmark stories, you think “warm, gentle, sweet, pure, love, hope, tears, hugs, smiles.” And that’s what this charming book delivers.

Paige and Dylan’s first encounter is at a local coffee shop in Denver. Their “meet-cute” is literally that because pretty Paige is so sweetly cute.

Paige lives in a log cabin close to town. She starts each day by standing on her patio and watching the sunrise and reviewing her gratitude list. She teaches first grade, makes her own clothes with hearts, pumpkins and other seasonal motifs, creates the most festive Hallowe’en displays and always looks on the bright side.

Dylan is a hard-driving investment banker who lives in a stark, modern downtown Denver loft. While he seems to be guided solely by a need for success, he has a solid, endearing side, too.

We get to know their friends and family who are all delightful people. A fireside first kiss promises a Happily Ever After. But then comes a complication which tests their relationship.

Too gooey and syrupy for you? Don’t even think that! Yes, Author Stacey Donovan sprinkles plenty of glitter and heart emojis throughout the story, but this is one of the best sweet romances I have ever read. The characters and settings are real and there is a genuine joy to be found in the pages. Plus, there’s a muffin recipe! Another entry into the Hallmark Hall of Fame- highly recommend!

Thanks to NetGalley and Hallmark Publishing for an ARC. This is my honest review.
