Return to Silver Bay is the first Lara Van Hulzen story I’ve read. Maggie’s world turned upside down when she discovered letters written to her now-deceased mother. Letters hinting at a secret, which leads her to talk to the town eccentric. I loved how Maggie’s perception changed as she was […]
Vickie McDonough’s Romance in the Badlands series was re-released earlier this year as individual books. And, now it’s available as the full collection in “one” print book, which is always a great deal. These stories follow the McFarland siblings, and each one builds a little on the previous ones. While […]
There are so many stories in this collection! I had the opportunity to read several of them in advance of the release. One Vow for September by Liwen Ho could be my favorite of her stories that I’ve read. It was a charming hate-to-love story about September and Tristan, co-workers […]
It has been fun getting to know Olive, Brander, Jazz, and their ohana through the Tradewinds series! Olive has come a long way from being the hurting teen, railing at God for all her pain. As Olive and Brander prepare for marriage, there are several lessons they learn. I was […]
Emma Grace had been in hiding for five years, having lived in fear for most of her life… Author Kimberley Woodhouse tells a tale filled with history, romance, and faith with a touch of mystery and suspense. Emma Grace’s feelings of being all alone in the world made my heart […]
As it has the last two years, The Mosaic Collection is again releasing a Christmas anthology, The Heart of Christmas. This year some new authors complement the collection, along with some of my favorites. Star Light by Sara Davison wowed me! Even though I knew I was in for a […]
What a wonderful story! Its pages were filled with stunning imagery, challenges, intrigue, faith, and romance. It was pretty amazing to picture Cora and Nathan ascending Mount Rainier (or Mount Tacoma, for those in that camp!) without the aid of the tools climbers today find indispensable. For the socialite to […]
Four novellas combine to create the Christmas in Mistletoe Square collection. Each one takes place in the same small Blue Ridge Mountain town. I enjoy it when authors deviate from the norm and write their romances about older couples! Teresa Tysinger has written the wonderful An Unscripted Christmas, which is […]
Personal Threat is a quick read with all the right elements: danger, romance, and faith. Each aspect combines well with the others and the plot is executed well, with no holes. I enjoyed seeing more of Sally and Dillon – they were introduced in previous stories in the Protection Inc. […]
Attracted by the title, I read the synopsis and was hooked. And I was not disappointed at all. The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady is the delightful and insightful debut of Sharon J. Mondragón. I plan to read more of her stories in the future. I enjoyed plucky Pastor […]
One thing I enjoy about reading a series like Brothers in Arms is learning about characters through more than just one book. I was looking forward to reading Molly and Wyatt’s story… I was quite surprised to see how plucky Molly was! In the previous stories, she seemed content to […]
Hauntingly melancholic with glimmers of hope, The Gold in These Hills is a poignant story of broken lives mended. This time-split novel finds Johnny piecing together his shattered life and heart. And Juniper (June) struggling simply to survive. I would be hard-pressed to choose a favorite character. Each one was […]
