I confess I almost never leave reviews. This series, and in particular this book, deserves special treatment. If you enjoy well-crafted stories with depth and compassion, you owe yourself the gift of reading this series. The characters are people I would like to meet, and their lives seem genuine rather than contrived as is common in romance novels. (Praise from the tour)

“A wonderful debut of the Mountain Rescue Romance series with relatable characters with whom I could share emotions as I laughed, cried and loved every minute of this heartwarming and at times heartrending contemporary holiday romance.”—Amazon Reviewer

"This may look like just another cute romance novel, and while it is cute and romantic it is NOT just another romance novel. It is a deep and moving story of hurt, mourning, forgiveness, redemption, and healing. I loved the way Mylissa took on difficult topics in a relatable and sensitive way, while still keeping the light and lovey aspect that we value in a good romance." Aubrey, Goodreads

I found Marrying Miss Kringle to be a fun and lovely read. It is light in nature with a feeling of watching one of those Lifetime Christmas movies, but only in book form.

This book was written so well that I could picture myself in town on main street at the Christmas Shoppe!! Only other thing I will say is, grab a cup of hot chocolate, a blanket and curl up in your favorite comfy reading chair because you won’t want to put the story down until it’s finished! (Praise from the tour)

"This truly epic work, the first of three, is a story complete unto itself, although allowing for further exploration of some threads. Capes, an Australian poet, has a great command of the English language, and his prose sings. This complex book unfolds like a Chinese puzzle box. There is so much depth to the people, places, and above all the masks, and Capes deftly allows them to slowly reveal their secrets. There is no "info dump," but a meticulous giving up its secrets, just as the story itself does." AuthorVisit, Goodreads

"Did I love this beautifully done cozy mystery? Yes, I surely did! I was enrapt with the setting (Mackinac Island--how wonderful!), the weather, the wonderful characters. All that would have been fantastic, but what author Duffy Brown did to deliver the plot and the super-twisty convolutions and fool me? Over the top superb!" Cthulhu, Goodreads
