While primarily David and Adela’s story, Finding Love in San Antonio tells of the Romero family women finding their place after the death of Adela’s husband. Adela had been so focused on her career as a celebrity chef that she constantly fought for time to spend with her daughter – […]
With just a hint of romance, The Emperor’s Aeronaut adds a steampunk twist to the Napoleonic Wars as Celeste and Loveday defy convention and seek to build an airship together. I was mesmerized from the first page by these plucky, brilliant ladies. Their cleverness in sussing out solutions was delightful. […]
I’ve enjoyed getting to know the Duke family through the Desert Justice series. Death Valley Hideout is Willow’s story, though with this close-knit family, that only means that she has a little more air-time than her protective brothers and cousin. While I enjoy stories with strong heroines, I’m partial to […]
I’m not a fan of every ’80s rom-com, and am, frankly, usually embarrassed by the language in many of them. I am a fan, however, of rom-coms in general and especially a fan of several of these authors. Therefore, I was super excited when asked to read an advance copy […]
A fun story of a shepherdess who learns more about the care of the Good Shepherd! You might expect that the character needing to protect was Liam but it isn’t. Clementine knew the loss of loved ones to accidents and was afraid to allow her niece and nephew she cared […]
Have you ever been afraid of hurting someone by telling them the truth? And then discovered that because you didn’t speak up sooner, your silence had them believing a lie? Poor Ada! Her kind heart wasn’t made to keep secrets like she did. I really liked Ada’s kind and gentle […]
I am always so excited to be able to read another book by Lynn H. Blackburn! While suspense is a genre I am cautious about, I always know she does not go overboard with chilling terror or gory details. I also know that her stories will be filled with faith […]
I enjoyed For the Love of Emma very much and was delighted for the opportunity to read the rest of Emma’s story in Emma’s Quest. This lovely story picks up with Emma moving to another state to meet a man she barely knew and yet for whom she was willing […]
An Alaskan Secret is a sweet story of second chances. Reading the synopsis, I was led to wonder how on earth a mother could not know about her child, and, honestly, my skepticism was part of my motivation for wanting to read the book. The other reason is that I […]
It was such a treat to revisit friends from the Heirloom Secrets series and meet new ones in Where the Last Rose Blooms! It’s bittersweet the series has concluded, but so good to have a satisfying ending for Rose’s story. My favorite aspect of this book was the clever method […]
I confess to loving young adult fantasy, though it has been years since I was a young adult. Reading Wraithwood, the first in The Wraithwood Trilogy, was a delightful experience and I have been waiting to read more. I was not disappointed! Mordizan is full of surprises, with plenty of […]
It is so delightful to love a book I’ve read that is by a debut author! I’ve seen how writers generally improve over time, so when a debut author hits it out of the park, it makes me so happy for them. Starting out with a bang, Crystal Caudill’s debut […]
