  • Book Review,  Romantic Suspense

    Among the Innocent by Mary Alford

    November 7, 2022 /

    This is the first book I’ve read from this author. MY REVIEW This book might not be for the faint of heart, but my guess is that if you like Romantic Suspense with a touch of Amish and the like, you’re probably fine. But be warned, there is no sugarcoating the trauma Leah Miller endured and her courage to overcome it. This is a chilling page-turner that will keep you riveted to your chair, and maybe hiding under a pile of blankets, but the payoff, in the end, is well worth it. Among the Innocent is well-written and pulls you in from the first page. And the cover of the…

    Honor Bound by Hallee Bridgeman

    November 6, 2022 /

    MY REVIEW Wowza! This is the series that I didn’t know I needed and it blew me away! The good news is you don’t have to wait a YEAR before the next book in the series is released. Basically, I read this one, then books 2 and 3 as soon as each of them was released because I preordered them all! Binge reading is a thing! Honour Bound introduces the reader to the Special Forces A team and it’s a wild ride all the way to the end of book 3. (Be sure to also read the prequel to this series, Love in Any Language.) The series begins by following…

    To Win A Prince by Toni Shiloh

    November 6, 2022 /

    My Review If you havn’t read book 1 of these two, To Win A Prince still stands on its own. But, ya’ll book 1 was so much FUN, so you can go ahead and read that one too. It’s called, In Search of A Prince. Yep, there is a royal story here, set in Africa! Toni Shiloah’s To Win A Prince is set in Olore Ile and is the story of Ekon Diallo and Iris Blakey. Ekon’s character goes on quite the journey of change given that he’s in disgrace. Ekon and Iris cannot resist the feelings they have for each other, but the obstacles mount and they really have…

    September 30, 2022 /

    This is my first full-length book by Elizabeth Musser. I’ve read a novella of hers. Grab the Kleenex My Review You may, or may not know this, but I don’t read the back cover blurb, EVER. So, when I saw a horse on the cover, I thought, “Oh, I love horses. Looks interesting.” I had no idea! What an amazing story, almost like a time slip, but a generation apart. I loved it! So much. And yes, I blubbed when things happened (not wanting to give spoilers). Be prepared. This story will touch your heart and leave you a little richer for having read it. Elizabeth Musser brilliantly brought a…

    Where the Road Bends by Rachel Fordham

    August 7, 2022 /

    My Review I could just imagine this book made into a stunning movie. (Yes I know the book is mostly always better than the movie, but still!) Rachel Fordham writes in such a vivid way that I could almost smell the scents in this book – the dust of the land, the freshly baked goods from the bakery and so much more. Norah is a strong character who faces her fears and overcomes them. Quincy, oh, dear Quincy. Sometimes I wanted to pat him on the shoulder and give him some advice. But all the while, I’m turning the pages to see what he’ll do. The man has heart, that’s…

    All That It Takes by Nicole Deese

    August 7, 2022 /

    What a fantastic conclusion! Here’s my review:   MY REVIEW It’s taken me a while to be ready to attempt to put into words what I thought of this book. Another book hangover kind of read – in a really good way. The first book, All That Really Matters, was special right from the start, and Pastor Miles McKenzie’s story in All That it Takes is the PERFECT follow-on. I’m so happy we get to read more about Val’s backstory as she was a supporting character. Molly McKenzie’s from All That Really Matters also features in All That it Takes. Yay! Miles is, of course, Molly’s sister.  All That it…

    The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs Kip by Sara Brunsvold

    August 2, 2022 /

    MY REVIEW This book was nothing like I’ve ever read before. Partly because of my recent experiences with my mother-in-law’s last days before she passed, making this a bittersweet read for me, and because of how well this story is told and so unabashedly honest about imminent death and what it’s like, the beauty and the ashes. I absolutely loved these characters, of which Mrs. Kip wins the trophy for spunk and resilience. Aidyn Kelly’s character development in this story is so relatable and honest. I love how these two worlds collide. I thoroughly enjoyed how this tender story unfolds. It’s raw and honest and dignified. Highly recommended. The book…

    The Record Keeper by Charles Martin

    July 1, 2022 /

    MY REVIEW I admit it. I had a severe book hangover with this book, as I do with all of Charles Martin’s books. This man is a genius and the conclusion to this trilogy was no different. This trilogy is a collection of books that are by no means fluff and giggles. They cut to the heart of the matter. Murphy Shepherd and his mentor, Bones are compelling, gritty characters that take us on a journey of courage and hope. These books address the hard truths of human trafficking and essentially the battle for redemption. The idea that leaving the 99 to go rescue the one is always worth it.…

    The Element of Love by Mary Connealy

    June 6, 2022 /

    I’m excited to begin the Lumber Baron’s Daughters, book one. Here’s my review:   MY REVIEW The Stiles sisters and their mother are a force to be reckoned with. This story jumps right into action and keeps going until the last satisfying page. This book is the story of all three sisters, but mainly, we get to know the chemistry and science-loving Laura Stiles in The Element of Love. The sisters run from an abusive stepfather who is determined to marry them off for his own gain. Shudder, he is a nasty piece of work. Fall in love with this cast of characters and enjoy the quirky sisters who rattle…

    Authentically Izzy by Pepper Basham

    May 29, 2022 /

    Heads up, book gush incoming! MY REVIEW I have long been a fan of Pepper Basham’s romances, but this one is my all-time new favorite of hers. Drop everything, clear your schedule and get it now! (Okay well, pre-order it until November) Let me tell you why: This epistolary novel is full of swoony romance, heartache, self-realization, and literary, authentic bookish fun – not necessarily in that order. Family is a big thing in this book and both Brodie and Izzy’s families are quirky and adorable, with the obligatory difficult…er…misunderstood family member. This book will have you laughing out loud, sighing with happiness, and occasionally yelling at a character to…
