"A Partridge in Sunshine Bay is a beautiful holiday read that pulled at my heartstrings and left me a tear-stained mess.

I really enjoyed learning about Vivian and the amazing life and love she and her husband shared. Carrying on after he passed away is the hardest thing Vivian has to do, and she doesn’t want to. Drowning in grief, it takes family, friends, and a few surprises to remind Vivian of her purpose and help recapture her holiday spirit.

The characters are easily relatable and the storyline is heartwarming and hopeful. I’d definitely visit Sunshine Bay again.

While the holiday season brings happiness and joy to many, for others it’s a tough time of year. Whether it’s grieving a loss, remembering a hurtful past, or when loneliness is at its loudest. This story recognizes that pain and repurposes it into hope.

I highly recommend A Partridge in Sunshine Bay to all readers.

"Really enjoyed this heart warming story that covered a little bit of everything from drama to family to romance. Your main characters were easy to like and very down to earth; Vivian the Widow facing her first Christmas without her husband Ned. Vivian's daughter Claudia who was questioning her relationship with her boyfriend Alex and old time high school flame Clint. Of these two gentleman am glad that Claudia chose who she did, as I believe he was the best, too.

Hats off for handling the grief that goes with the loss of your significant other, especially during the Christmas season, as you did with Vivian. This proved to be a great, realistic story with lots of family and compassion throughout,

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily."

"Claudia just got her promotion when Alex tells her he wants to move them and start a new career. Claudia gets a call from her sister Karen telling her she is going to Mexico on vacation and she needs Claudia to drop everything and take care of their mother. There is quite a lot going on in this book. Very entertaining and keeps your interest throughout. All are great characters but Neville steals the show. Another great book by Jeanine Lauren."
