Faith and fiction is a great way to describe Kimberly Rose Johnson’s stories, whether they are romance, cozy mystery, or suspense. Or, what I have officially dubbed today as “Sweet Suspense” to distinguish it from the kind that is more edge-of-your-seat. I enjoyed reading more about Frank in Certain Threat. […]
When a beloved author writes a in new genre, one that is a departure from what I have come to expect, I normally just get excited and dive right in. At least I have until recently. The True Colors series by Barbour is one that has me hesitating. These are […]
My Thoughts The second book of the Empires of Armageddon series, Persian Betrayal continues Brain Mullaney’s adventures in protecting the US Embassy and the ambassador in Israel.

“How hard can it be to protect a ten-year-old girl?” Talk about famous last words! Direct Threat was an entertaining story with a great balance of suspense and romance. I was impressed with the skill the author used to stretch out the time of just watching and waiting for something […]
Chaney Rose never expected to shake the world. Yet she did just that. Shook the world of a calloused police detective. Of an out-of-work minister. Of a wannabe mobster. She was an enigma, with street smarts and compassion. With a moral compass slightly skewed and yet was there. Her grandfather […]
Wow! Have you ever noticed how sometimes the second book by an author you loved just isn’t quite the same? You settle in, all prepared to love it and then you don’t. No worries here! The Last Roses reminded me of everything I loved in The Courtship of Harry’s Wife. […]
