A Most Agreeable Murder
A Most Intriguing Lady by Sarah Ferguson (one questionable scene)
Angel of Mercy by Tracie Peterson
Borrow My Heart by Kasie West (PG-13, and enjoyed this author. I’m going to add some of her other books to my TBR)

4:50 From Paddington by Agatha Christie
A Cross-Country Christmas by Courtney Walsh (PG-13 - cute, heart warming, Hallmark)
All I Want For Christmas by Maggie Knox (a couple spots got a little on the high end of PG-13, but my PG-13 rating stands. A good rom-com - not as funny as Faking Under the Mistletoe, which is still my fave Christmas rom-com novel
