GRR Reviews Nora's Promise by Sedona Hutton

Nora's sister Lynn died, and Nora has to raise her 9-year old nephew Ben. She didn't expect to be dumped by her boyfriend AND lose her job as office manager at the same time (since her "no kids! ever!" boyfriend is also her boss). But after an encounter with her grandpa from the beyond and a lead, Nora found Ben's biological father, a job, and a place to live in the little town of Serenity... // Davey, a winning NASCAR driver, was VERY careful when it comes to female fans, but his estranged mom's message about his possible son got him distracted for the final race that he crashed. He lost his chance for a first-place finish for the season. Bitter and angry, he went to his mom's place (first time ever), only to find that Ben is indeed his son, and his estranged mom did not willingly abandon him. He understood that his father was abusive and vowed to do better, but he needed Nora's help. And their relationship developed. But Nora's vegan ways soon affected his own relationship with his sponsors. Will Davey have to choose between his career and his family?

Good touches throughout, no obviously plot holes that I can sense, and characters all make sense, though some readers may be turned off by the paranormal bits (how grandpa came back a few times to guide her), and well as Nora's ability to actually converse with animals (telepathically) such as having a convo with a cow, and they knew they will be slaughtered for meat. Though there's not enough of it to be tagged paranormal. 5/5

GRR Reviews The Perfect Lap by Sedona Hutton

AJ is a great racer, but also a loose cannon. He tweets himself chowing down on steak and burgers, but his sponsor is a vegan food supplier. He may have won the driver's cup, but his team chose to rein him in.. with an "image consultant". Enter Ella. // Ella, image consultant to a bad boy rockstar, thought she was just sending a photo (of the said star, in a VERY compromising position) to her BF that knew not to spread it around, as they are in the same profession. The photo leaked, and Ella was fired and slapped with NDA to NEVER mention it to ANYONE. Forced to go home, she found herself given the job of rehabbing AJ's image. And AJ doesn't seem to be anywhere CLOSE to being the "bad boy" rep he got... When Ella needed to temporarily foster three children (their mother was in jail), AJ offered up his house (it's much bigger than Ella's) and agree to pretend to be a couple with Ella to help the process along. But the longer they pretend, the more like a real couple they feel...

Nice handling of relationship, where BOTH MMC and FMC learned not to judge a book by its cover. Surprisingly, Ella had to learn it TWICE, first on AJ, then on the kids' mom. There's some new-age stuff that sounded hokey, but the principles are sound (just maybe not the explanations).  5/5
