Room For Just A Little Bit More by Beth Ehemann

Five years ago, my dreams were shattered in an instant.

One year ago, a horrible rainstorm flooded a bridge in town, leaving us with an Inn full of stranded travelers. Turns out one of those travelers would give me a whole new set of dreams, ones I never thought possible. Brody Murphy spent the last year teaching me what it was like to live, and more importantly love, again.

Two days ago, he asked me to marry him, and if I’d said yes any faster, I would have interrupted the most romantic proposal ever offered. I can’t wait to marry him and spend the rest of our lives spoiling our Twinkies.

One year from now I’ll be Mrs. Kacie Murphy, assuming everything goes nice and smooth.


This novella was like one of those beautiful surprises that kinda get you off guard. I did not see this one coming at all. I was pretty happy with the first two books in the Cranberry Inn series that I was okay with how things were.

And then this read came along...and proved me wrong.

Because this novella tied up some loose ends that I wasn't able to focus on in the first two books, e.g. Kacie's relationship with her biological father. Also this book just confirmed that I was right in loving Brody and Kacie's story. These two were just so easily to fall in love with. This novella was a confirmation of everything I loved in the first two books.

But aside from those things, this also served as a good bridge to the next book (books! *fingers crossed*) because where is the justice in this world if the secondary characters in this book don't get their own stories, right? Starting with Brody's bestfriend, Viper. Yes, that man. I cannot wait to get my hands on that! And that first scene in the epilogue? Swoon-worthy. I used to have a picture of a scene just like that back in high school which I got, if I remember correctly, from a perfume advertising spread. *squeeeeee*

And lest I forget, BE's writing is love. Always.


Final verdict: 9/10. Awesome read.

Series Recommendation #9: Cranberry Inn by Beth Ehemann

Ahhh, I actually just noticed that I have not posted any series recommendations in the past month. My apologies.

This is another lucky find that I got myself to stumble on. I love it when you are not looking for any particular book and then happen to have a gem of a find. It wasn't a difficult decision to pick choose books and bump them up on top my TBR pile. The fact that our hero is a professional athlete already earned this series advance points.

But then these books became more than that in a snap. BE got me hooked with her writing style--totally relaxed with very fluid narration, very likable characters, and a very solid storyline that purely delivers. 

Here's hoping you give these two lovely books a spin. I promise, no regrets.

Room For Just A Little Bit More

Room For More by Beth Ehemann

Four years ago, my dreams were shattered in an instant.

Three months ago, I found something I haven’t had in years. 

Hope. 

That hope came in the form of a sexy, carefree hockey player named Brody Murphy. He swooped in and won me over with his big heart and the way he cared for me…and my girls. When they look at him, they see the father they’ve never had.

Now, my past and present are colliding and the outcome might just be too much for me to bear. Can I make the right decision when I’ve spent my whole life making the wrong ones?


I fell so hard for the first Cranberry Inn book that moving on to the second book is a natural progression. Or not. Because I really wanted to wait for a few more days before reading this book. I am not ready to say goodbye to Brody Murphy yet.

And true enough, this turned out to be another fantastic story to read. When Kacie's past came back in to her life and her twins', she had no other choice to keep it quiet until after Brody's hockey season was over. But then we all know what happens when someone lies, even by omission, and even with the best intentions. My favorite part has got to be the scene when Brody and Zac met for the first. Brody got all territorial and called himself Kacie's twins father. My heart just melted into a puddle right there.

But I loved how everything turned out in the end--that Brody was a man big enough to share his girls with their real father. I understood when he got angry the first time when he found out that Zach was back in Kacie's life because I wouldn't want to be lied to either. But the ending was just great--I loved knowing that they can all have a peaceful life together for the kids' sake. This was just an outright heartwarming story that is worth maybe a second read. Ha, I did. 

But here's a question: WHY does Beth Ehemann only have these two Cranberry Inn books published? I want more of her stuff.


Final verdict: 8/10. Great read.

Room For You by Beth Ehemann

Four years ago, my dreams were shattered in an instant.

I tried to pick up the pieces and glue them back together the best I knew how, but something was always missing.

A father for my two girls.

But then, Brody Murphy landed on my doorstep, literally. He was a carefree, playful hockey player who barged into my life and messed with my head. He left me more confused than I had ever been.

What if the one thing I thought I needed was the only thing holding me back?


I did not expect to find this book so enjoyable. I just felt so...part of the book...while I was reading it. I was all sucked in into the story. And that was unexpected since this was an accidental find of some sort. 

Was it because the central setting of the story was an inn that I felt so at home while reading this book? Was it because Brody was irresistible while Kacie was so relatable? Was it because there was just an instantaneous connection they both felt that it was so easy to fall in love with the idea of them falling in love? Was it because the Twinkies were awesomely cute? And Diesel? I loved him! And then there was Brody's mom? She was the best-est!

There were just so many great things going on in this book and I cannot probably list down each one of them. I love it when I am reading an author for the first and get what I expect and more. I think I have a new name to add to my list of favorite authors because BE made my day after I read this. I just fell in love with this work. 

Bottom line is that this book is full of heart and one for the for-life shelf.


Final verdict: 9/10. Great read.
