Series and Books by Michelle Francik

"I couldn't put this book down until I finally turned and read the last page."

"This book is full of quirky characters that will capture your heart."

"I love this author's writing style. I think it's the perfect blend of mystery, romance and humor making the story intense, emotional and entertaining."

" Loved the banter and sass as they try to figure things out. The characters and storyline were terrific. Can not wait to read the next in the series."

"I love the approach the author is taking with this series . . . I found her story to be one largely about being true to your heart and being willing to defy expectations."

"This was such a nail biter of a page turner. A great read. I loved the book. The plot was very well written and I cannot wait for another book. I really enjoyed the book."

"Our heroine is unsure about a lot of things, but willing to go along for her friends. She just might learn something from the experience."

"I got this to read with my grandson and he loved it. He loves listening to the stories and I like how the stories evolve. I look forward to reading more by this author."

"Shellie Lynne is a little duck who comes to a farm and tries to fit in. A few mean chickens bully all the other farm animals. Loved the storyline and banter as the little duck stands up for herself, especially when others are being bullied, too. Very well done."
