Welcome back to another Quicky Review everyone.
A lot of the time I like to read short stories, prequels and free audiobooks that are short and sweet. But why do a full review on a book that is say...80 pages long. So I do Quicky Reviews for the shorties and children books as well. Basically, the short stories get short reviews.
Here are just a few sentences on one children's book and one short audiobook.
There are other Quicky Reviews for you to check out too and don't worry there will be more to come. I like short stories because most of them are FREE and I can get in and out of one in no time.

Book Description
Debbie Macomber’s heartwarming new series, set at the Rose Harbor Inn in picturesque Cedar Cove, displays the author’s signature talent for creating characters who feel like friends, and small towns that feel like home. In this original short story available exclusively as an eBook, Jo Marie Rose readies her inn for spring, turning to her new friends Grace and Olivia when she needs them most.
Jo Marie has big plans for her bed-and-breakfast. With the help of handyman Mark Taylor, she intends to plant a beautiful rose garden in time for her upcoming open house. Jo Marie and Mark rarely see eye to eye—especially on matters of home improvement—but she knows he has her best interests at heart. After the two walk the grounds, Jo Marie realizes that her beloved rescue dog, Rover, is missing, and at a time when she most needs a friend, Mark abruptly leaves. Confused by Mark’s behavior and worried for Rover’s safety, Jo Marie searches for her precious pup all over Cedar Cove.

My Thoughts
This was a cute extremely short story. I would have love to have a better ending. There is a reason for everything happening and finding out the real meaning and reason. The narrator had a nice sweet voice that fit this story very well. Nothing exciting just cute and sweet.

My Thoughts
This was a great story and I loved the humor. Gigi is hilarious and her family situation is too funny. There is just one thing missing. The Ending! It felt like they just cut the audiobook off and there was nothing wrapped up. Nothing. What happened next?
