Wherever the Wind Takes Us by Kelly Harms

It may be true that "Sailing is going nowhere, slowly, and at great expense", but this book is definitely going places, and at great speed!

Becca Larkin is in the final stages of her divorce from her husband of more than 20 years. After Becca is refusing to contest the prenup, the judge awards her a sailing yacht named after her. Sailing has never really been her thing; her ex husband is however very fond of the yacht...

With the help of the good looking, Irish sailing instructor Grant Murphy, she quickly manages to find a buyer, but the yacht has to be delivered seventeen hundred miles away. Becca decides to do the trip herself, together with her daughter Liv; a great bonding opportunity for them both.

After a while it becomes clear that even if Liv has formal sailing experience, they are way behind schedule and they need to find help.

Kelly Harms has written a fantastic story about mother and daughter relationship, second chances and bravery; to keep on going even when it seems impossible to succeed. She deals with the ex husband in a great way too, not too much negativity, but still enough for us to root for Becca.

Thank You to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for allowing me to read this impossible to put down eARC. This book will be release in October 2022, but can be pre-ordered now.

Embrace the Lace by Shannon MacLeod

Paisley Evangeline Darling (Van for short) attends a renaissance festival in the US, but somehow ends up in a pond in Scotland and is rescued by Andrew MacIver. Not only has she travelled across the world, she's also travelled in time - back to the 17th century. Add in some more low level magic, a nasty uncle and women competing for Andrew's reluctant hand in marriage.

I am not really sure what inspired the title of this book. #EmbraceTheLace #NetGalley
