A DEEPER WELL by Jill Eileen Smith, Reviewed by Paula #ReleaseDay

 Ancient Historical Biblical Fiction Retelling of the Woman at the Well, for Fans of The Chosen
 
PAULA'S REVIEW:
Based on the Biblical story of the Samaritan Woman at the well, the author draws on research into the customs of the day and area. While the Samaritans were separated from the Jews, they worshiped the same God and carried many of the same traditions. This story starts out as Nessa, claimed to be the most beautiful woman in Sychar, has just become of marriageable age and has to abide by her father’s decisions. She is painted as a victim of the times, being given in marriage to several men who either died or had her put away. The author made me care for Nessa and sympathize with the situations she was experiencing.
 
The redemption comes when Jesus travels with his disciples to Jacob’s Well. The story shows how much Jesus cares for the individual. Nessa has had many husbands but has never found a man who loves her for who she really is. Jesus shows her just such love even though He reveals her sins to her. I like that the author expands a bit on the story when the Samaritans ask Jesus to stay with them for two days. She postulates that He taught them through parables which seems entirely possible.
 
Nessa’s repentance causes her to joyfully tell her whole community about Jesus. Her surrender to God’s will results in something far better than the consequences of her past.
 
The author deftly portrayed how Nessa was bound in sin and tradition and how she was lifted up when she listened to the Master’s voice.

BackCover Blurb:
Her broken heart thirsts for acceptance and love that seem out of reach--until an encounter at the well reveals what her soul truly longs for.

In ancient Israel, soon after Nessa is of marriageable age, her father gives her to a wealthy widowed friend, capitalizing on her beauty to bring in the highest bride-price he can find. Nessa is devastated, as she had begged to marry Lavi, who returned her love and saw more in her than her appearance. Nessa's betrothal leads to Lavi's departure, compounding her grief, and she can never forget her forbidden first love.

Nessa tries to accept her fate, but after only a year of marriage, tragedy hits her new family. She is sent back to her father, who quickly finds a young man who wants to marry the most beautiful woman in Sychar. Misfortune follows Nessa as she is passed from one marriage to the next--until she meets an unusual Jewish rabbi at the town's well one afternoon, and her life is forever changed.

Jill Eileen Smith weaves a historically and biblically rich narrative of the New Testament story of the woman at the well. Bringing a fresh perspective of faith and redemption, this biblical-era fiction is perfect for fans of Mesu Andrews, Tessa Afshar, and
The Chosen.

TAMING LADY TEMPERANCE by Karen Witemeyer, Reviewed by Rebecca, Winnie, and Paula #ReleaseDay

 
 (The Secret Society of Spinsters Book #1):
 A Christian Opposites Attract Frontier Western Historical Romance with Cowboys

REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"That man and his obnoxious charm. Good grief. She'd almost shared a smile with him."

Self declared independent woman, active member of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and recent recruit to the Secret Society of Spinsters, Noreen O'Sullivan doesn't have time to be making eyes at the handsome deputy sheriff of Albany, Texas, who has just bodily removed her (very politely, of course) from her temperance campaign in front of the local saloon. If she was being honest with herself, it had probably been a good idea, since the proprietor of the Salt Fork Saloon was getting a bit, shall we say, "salty"?

Deputy James Paxton takes his job as keeper of the peace very seriously, but the sassy Miss O'Sullivan is as pretty as a picture and stubborn as a mule. If he can just convince her to go about her public campaigning a little differently, oh, who he is kidding?

When James is forced to make a tricky decision, he and the purpose driven Miss O'Sullivan end up spending some unexpected time together, forcing them both to rethink priorities. Will it be enough?

What did I love most about this book? Virtually everything. The clever setting, the sparks of instantaneous attraction, the extraordinary word flow (I read all but 50 pages in one sitting) the deep spiritual truths, and of course the wit! . . . always the wit!

A perfectly delightful and engaging western romance!
*I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book from the publisher, the opinions stated above are entirely my own. 
 
WINNIE'S REVIEW:
“She’d grown lax of late. Hadn’t protested in nearly three weeks.”

“He couldn’t afford to let her out-stubborn him.”


With a setting in Texas in 1894, a heroine who is bound and determined to defend the cause of prohibition, and a deputy who is hoping to be elected sheriff and wants to keep the peace, what could possibly go wrong?

I’m always delighted to read another Karen Witemeyer story, and Taming Lady Temperance lived up to my anticipation. This first book in The Secret Society of Spinsters is full of well-drawn, multi-layered, and realistically flawed characters, and the story line caught my attention quickly.  

The main characters, Noreen O’Sullivan and Deputy James Paxton, are engaging and entertaining. Noreen is independent, headstrong, and spunky. Dependable and upstanding James is just the person to keep her in check. I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between them and the signature wit and humor Witemeyer injects into her stories. I found myself chuckling and laughing out loud at some of the pictures that were evoked.

“. . . this woman was on a mission. A mission that apparently involved him. He swallowed and steeled himself for what was to come. The tenacity he’d just admitted to admiring was about to bury its teeth into his leg, and he wasn’t at all certain he’d be able to shake free.”

“That man and his obnoxious charm. Good grief. She’d almost shared a smile with him. Thankfully, she’d stopped herself in time.”

It was satisfying to see the relationship between Noreen and James change as they interacted and began to get to know each other better. I loved the way they were able to work together and solve problems, even as they were exasperating each other.

“He might not have to worry about Noreen O'Sullivan ruining his chances to be elected sheriff, after all. Apparently, he was perfectly capable of blackening public opinion of his fitness for office all on his lonesome.”

“Her hackles had been raised, and he was bound to get jabbed by a few of them before this was over.”

With plenty of action, intrigue, inspiration, and romance, this book kept me turning the pages. The stellar cast of secondary characters added much to the tale, and I’m hoping that some of the Spinster Society sisters will get their own stories soon.
*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy from Bethany House. All opinions are my own.

PAULA'S REVIEW:
Karen Witemeyer is back at it again. This time with a determined heroine Noreen, The Temperance Terror! In Albany, Texas when women were marching against the evils of alcohol, Noreen takes up the cause. Based on her background, she has seen the results from overindulgence.
 
Filled with humor and witty banter and a heroine who puts everything on the line for what she believes in, there is also Deputy James Paxton who must uphold the law even when the girl who catches his eye tends to break it!
 
“I won’t be placated, Deputy Paxton. And I won’t succumb to your charms, so aim that smile of yours elsewhere.” “But James found her fascinating as well. Hard not to with all that passion zinging around beneath her surface.” 
 
James has his work cut out for him when he encounters the feisty Noreen, while at the same time trying to appease the other inhabitants of the town. James is the perfect foil for Noreen as he dispenses godly wisdom with his steady demeanor.
 
Join the ladies of The Secret Society of Spinsters as they try to reform their little town in 1894. A totally enjoyable read with faith lessons, some excitement and a sweet romance.
*A complimentary copy of this book was provided by Bethany House. I was not required to post a favorable review. All opinions are mine alone.* 5 stars and a solid faith thread 
 

BackCover Blurb:
When passion for justice conflicts with the heart, which will prevail?

Noreen O'Sullivan is an enthusiastic member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and believes herself called to defend the cause of prohibition. When she's invited to join the Secret Society of Spinsters, Noreen jumps at the chance to rally others to her movement and shut down the local saloon for good. However, her passionate campaigning often puts her at odds with the men around her--including the local deputy.

Deputy James Paxton believes in preserving the peace, but Miss O'Sullivan has been disturbing his peace for months. If James wants to be elected sheriff, he can't afford to be seen as her ally. But when Noreen ropes him into helping her plan a temperance march, their growing closeness sparks unexpected feelings. Then tensions escalate at the saloon and accusations fly. James must choose between upholding his badge and protecting the woman who's captured his heart--knowing either choice could cost him everything.

Karen Witemeyer presents a swoony Western romance with a determined heroine, cowboys, prohibition, and the rivals-to-lovers and duty vs. desire tropes. Fans of Mary Connealy and frontier romances set in the Old West will savor this clean, historical read.

DEADLY CURRENTS by Elizabeth Goddard, Reviewed by Rebecca and Paula #ReleaseDay

(Hidden Bay Book #3): 
Action-Filled Christian Romantic Suspense with Mystery and Adventure

REBECCA'S REVIEW:

"International. An abandoned salvage ship. Murders. Cressida's father and his research."

Everything in Cressida Dane's life revolved around finishing her deceased father's manuscript, leaving her with just one one additional unresolved shipwreck tale to unravel. Arriving in Hidden Bay seemed fairly innocuous at first, but she had barely put one foot in front of the other on its sandy beach when she was attacked and presumed dead by her assailant. After being shuffled to safety, county detective Braden Sanders becomes involved in the case. Unbeknownst to Cressida, Braden knows more about her and her reason for visiting Hidden Bay than he lets on.

Working hard to discover the answers that her father had been unable to ferret out about the infamous Specter's Bounty, Cressida is yet to talk to anyone who has the kind of reliable information that she seeks, in fact, she gets warned off time and time again. Equally as confused, Braden cannot piece together why he has been tagged to protect the daughter of a high level government bureaucrat, knowing that Cressida will be furious when she discovers what her mother has done . . . again.

Fighting a tight time schedule, this plot begins rapidly and maintains a brisk pace, even for the characters. Fans of the series will be delighted to learn more about the life of Evelyn Monroe, an enigmatic character with a generous heart. Meanwhile, Cressida and Braden will be discovering anew how to trust and forgive, because their hearts desperately long for something lasting, even amidst the ever present deadly currents.
*I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book from Revell through Interviews and Reviews. 3.5 stars. I also bought a copy.

PAULA'S REVIEW:
A mysterious ghost ship, long buried secrets, and a quest to find the truth bring Cressida Valentine and County Deputy Braden Sanders together.
 
Braden is tasked with protecting Cressida by her estranged mother Octavia Dane, who is an influential government figure. In exchange Octavia holds the acess to a life giving drug that his niece needs.
 
The atmosphere of a rugged coast in Washington state sets the stage for a mesmerizing story.
 
Cressida is trying to complete a book her father started before his death about maritime shipwrecks. But as she tries to find out more about Specter’s Bounty, she hits nothing but roadblocks and several attempts on her life. Deputy Braden investigates and grows closer to her. But he has secrets to keep too.
 
Many complicated connections, interesting side characters and a mystery that could have deadly consequences make this a fantastic story that was hard to put down. Thorny spiritual questions plague the characters such as: when is it right to keep information from someone, and how is it possible to forgive when a person is hurt so badly. The author handled those situations with grace.
 
A top read, for sure.

Di Stasio Giornaliste Agency Series Prequel
 
PAULA REVIEWS:
Inspired by Aladdin and the Magic Lamp, this story takes place in 1890 during the construction of the Columbian Exhibition in Chicago. It has a solid faith thread infused in the story.
 
Ali De Stasio is a journalist who works undercover. She is hot on a story but needs evidence in order to expose corruption and proof in order to submit the story for publication.
 
While in disguise, she encounters Griffeth Moorland, the son of the rich businessman who heads the construction company building the venues for the Exhibition. Griff has already sensed something is not quite right in his father’s company. Griff and Ali team up to face danger and intrigue as they search for the truth. Cupid strikes along the way in this informative look back in history.
 
I grew up in a Chicago suburb and relished the history of the Fair. It always amazed me that most of the buildings were torn down after the Exhibition. I visited several of the few that were still standing. It must have been a fascinating time to live in.
 
This was a wonderful start to a new series. It is sure to be a favorite for those interested in Chicago history.

WHERE STILLNESS SPEAKS by Chelsey Welwood, Reviewed by Rebecca Maney

A Historical Christian Romance of Courage and Unexpected Love

REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"Tomorrow night, will be the last you see of me . . . mark my words."

Audra Bancroft fled quietly and quickly into the night, disguised as a young man, desperate to put miles between herself and the despicable man whom her uncle declared would be her husband. Arriving in a small Indiana town, she fell upon the good graces of the Haystead family matriarch who offered her refuge on their farm, never asking too many questions. The elder Haystead son was not so accommodating, suspicious of Audra's intentions, and skeptical about her past. On the other hand, the younger siblings, befriended Audra immediately and with the passing of time, Audra dropped her guard long enough to begin to feel at home within the tight-knit community. That proved to be a mistake.

When trouble comes calling, in the heat of the moment Audra's false declaration forges Tobias Haystead into unintended territory and creates a series of complicated circumstances that neither of them would have chosen or could have foreseen.

There is a gentle cadence to this story. As sweet and predictable as it was in some places, it was also as courageous and determined as the heroine herself in others. Would that we would all listen to the gentle, quiet voice of the Spirit when we need Him the most; thankfully, Audra learned to tune her heart in that direction.

No one who reads this book will be able to resist reading the next! What an ending to this lovely, romantic debut!

These books were so good it only took me a day to read them. 

Buried in Shadows by Dani Pettrey:
A group of friends go to a resort for snowboarding. After an avalanche, they are stranded in an abandoned ski lodge and people go missing. Sounds like a page out of an Agatha Christie novel with a modern twist. Cassy Joel, Izzy and Talbot team up to ferret out who could be a stalker killing their friends.

AMBUSH OF THE HEART By Mary Connealy, Reviewed by Winnie and Paula #NewRelease

 
(Rocky Mountain Marshals Book #1): 
A Historical Frontier Western Romance with US Marshals set in the Rocky Mountains

WINNIE'S REVIEW:
“’You’d think of the three of them, the woman would be the easiest to corral,’ Owen muttered. He didn’t say it for anyone’s ears but Morgan’s because they had two feisty women with them, and he’d prefer it if they weren’t mad at him. Especially the one he’d kissed less than an hour ago.”

Filled with Mary Connealy’s signature wit and humor, her well-drawn and engaging characters, and her action-packed plots, Ambush of the Heart is a riveting and fun read. Set in the Colorado Rockies in 1872, this tale is full of suspense as Owen Riley and his fellow Marshals escort a prisoner, along with Delaney and Boone Bridger, to Fort Russell. When they are ambushed, they are faced with a struggle for survival.

One of my favorite things about Connealy’s stories is her strong, competent, smart female characters. There were several of them in this tale, and I enjoyed their spunk and sass. Delaney Bridger is a perfect heroine for this story, and I liked seeing her and Owen as they got to know each other. I always enjoy the predicaments that this author throws her characters into and then somehow manages to get them out again.

There is a thread of the story that continues on to the next book, so be aware that you’ll want to read the whole series. 
*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

PAULA'S REVIEW:
Drama and daring among a stunning surroundings. 

“It was a beautiful night. The stars were glowing all around the sky like they had been blasted up there with a shotgun loaded with diamonds."

Delaney and Boone Bridger are accompanied by five U.S. Marshals to join their father Colonel Lionel Bridger at Ft. Russell, Wyoming. The Marshals are escorting a prisoner to Cheyenne for a trial. They are ambushed by the family of the outlaw. Trouble aplenty for the group as they escape in the rugged mountains. 

A lot of danger from the outlaws not to mention the terrain with a real cliff hanger as Delaney and Owen pursue the outlaw Clive who has slipped their fingers. At the same time the pair has their faith tested in the unforgiving landscape. 

With a full cast of characters and a distinctive plot, there is much fodder for additional books in the series as well as several romantic possibilities with seemingly opposites attract scenarios. You can count on Ms Connealy to provide a strong faith element, a clear gospel message and a lot of fun along the way. The Wild West is always a great treat to read from this outstanding author.

RUN WHILE YOU CAN by Christy Barritt, Reviewed by Rebecca Maney

 TRUE CRIME JUNKIES SERIES #11

REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"Even when you can't see me. Even when you think you're safe. I live in the spaces between your heartbeats, in the shadows you're afraid to check."

Young women; stalked, warned, then disappearing without a trace. For what reason? That's the million dollar question that members of the Arctic Circle Murder Club are trying to answer, because as they take their popular podcast on the road for a publicity tour along the West Coast, the dots are connecting in rapid fire succession. Someone is mapping out their destinations.

With limited resources, an ever-changing landscape, and no viable suspects Andi Slade and Duke McAllister pull on every thread of information at their disposal to no avail. Law enforcement is hesitant to take them seriously and their constant travel schedule keeps them at a discouraging disadvantage, unless they can devise a strategy to turn the hunter into the hunted.

There's not one thing that I would change about this book! Every page transports readers faster and faster down a spiraling incline, destined to hit rock bottom unless someone can apply the brakes! Plus, the ending is a five star bonus!

Some fans want an autograph. Some want your life.

The Arctic Circle Murder Club’s true crime podcast is riding high—sold-out tour dates, national attention, devoted fans. But when a desperate woman begs host Andi Slade to help find her missing sister, she can’t turn away.

The case spirals quickly. Days before she vanished, the woman reported a break-in—nothing stolen, no signs of struggle, only a chilling warning that he’d be back. Now she’s gone, and police have dismissed it as a voluntary disappearance.
Andi and her team soon uncover something far worse. This isn’t the first woman to vanish this way. And every city where it’s happened? The podcast had just come through.

Someone is threading himself through their tour, selecting victims and playing a deadly game with rules only he understands. A game where he gives his targets a head start—run while you can—before hunting them down.

As time runs out and the trail grows colder, the team must find the missing woman before she becomes another statistic. Because one question won’t let Andi go: Why does the killer want them watching?

PAULA'S REVIEW:
This is the first time I have read a book by this author and it was a winner. Beautiful descriptions of the setting, a romance that was cautious but showed Cora and Ben relying on God constantly for guidance, and a struggle with an addiction to laudanum that caught many in its snare.
 
The research was extensive and portrayed the characters realistically. Cora and Ben were complex people who faced a variety of obstacles; however, their faith sustained them and gave them courage.
 
Ms. Shindelar has a command of the language, setting and customs of the era, which made this a very enjoyable read.

Can love blossom between a woman haunted by her family's past and a man with a war-scarred heart?

Cora Scott is determined to hold onto her family's Texas ranch and provide a stable home for her young half brother, Charlie, despite the mounting challenges of post-Civil War frontier life. But when a scheming creditor threatens to seize their land, she must accept help from Ben McKenzie, a former Yankee soldier sent by her late brother. Though Ben's generosity and strength draw her, the man's private struggle she stumbles upon—too reminiscent of her father's alcoholism—makes her question whether she can trust her heart to him.

Ben McKenzie arrives in Texas intent on fulfilling his promise to his dying friend to protect Cora and Charlie. While using his inheritance to save their ranch, he battles not only the loss of their cattle but also his dependency on laudanum—a medicine that turned into a curse after his imprisonment at Andersonville. As his feelings for Cora deepen, he must choose between his promise to his father to take over their Philadelphia newspaper and his growing dream of a life with Cora in Texas.

When a Comanche warrior begins courting Cora and Ben's responsibilities in Philadelphia threaten to tear them apart, they must decide if their love is strong enough to overcome their fears and forge a future together on the Texas frontier.

EVEN AFTER THIS by Deborah Clack, Reviewed by Kim and Rebecca #ReleaseDay

Shelter and Sky Series #1 A Contemporary Romance

KIM'S REVIEW:
From the moment I read The Cowboy’s Marriage Bargain by Deborah Clack, I knew I would read anything she chose to write next. After finishing Even After This, my first thought was simply… wow. I laughed, I cried, and I felt every emotion right alongside the characters—which is such a rare and special talent. I truly have no idea how to write a review worthy of this deeply emotional, romantic, humorous, and character-driven story. I loved every second of it.

I loved Harlan the moment he stepped onto the page. His humor, his warmth, and the unwavering support he showed Meredith completely won me over. And while I adored Harlan on his own, Harlan and Meredith together were pure perfection. Their chemistry leapt off the page. My heart absolutely broke for Meredith and everything she had endured, and I could feel her grief deep in my bones. Her growth felt steady, authentic, and beautifully realistic.

The humor was perfectly timed and helped balance the heavy grief woven throughout the story. The secondary characters added so much richness, especially Harlan’s family. Penelope, in particular, jumped off the page, and I was thrilled to learn she will be the focus of book two.

I loved every single part of this story. Though it carries a strong thread of grief, the humor and heart balance it beautifully. I cannot wait for book two, releasing in October. Well done, Ms. Clack!

REBECCA'S REVIEW:

"Fourteen".

Meredith Harper had been placed on "Famous People Probation" by her family (for reasons we won't go into just now), so when she meets film star and Hollywood icon Harlan Holcombe while vacationing in Colorado Springs, Colorado, she can scarcely put two words together, which seems to endear her even more to the object of this chance encounter. Ironically, they proceed to keep bumping into each other during her stay at the luxurious Broadmoor hotel and resort. One thing leads to another and . . . 

Of course, there is more to this story. So much more. Meredith's life for the past four years has been a messy dumpster dive into an ocean of grief; after losing her husband and two children in a tragic accident, she has scarcely been able to put one foot in front of the other, much less unpack the way her heart might feel to love again. Harlan is also at a crossroads in his life, trying to casually distance himself from his onscreen persona in order to use his successful career in a way that serves others in the industry. Meredith is an anomaly.

Depth seeps into every crack and crevice of this story. What is far more remarkable is how funny it is. On the surface, those two descriptions seem at odds with each other, but in reality the presentation allows the reader to not only feel the pain of loss but to fully experience the joy of gain. Even after . . . all of this.

BackCover Blurb:
When you're ready to live again, love often has a way of finding you.

Four years after tragedy, Meredith Harper is tired of hiding in her corner of Texas and living life like a game of dodgeball. She packs up her grief, awkward social graces, and sizable life insurance in search of a vacation and investment property in Colorado Springs. A botched dinner reservation throws her into the path of a bona fide movie star, and Meredith pushes through her comical celebrity neurosis to discover he is charming but a terrible dancer.

MISTS OVER THE CHANNEL ISLANDS by Sarah Sundin, Reviwed by Winnie and Paula #ReleaseDay

 
World War II Enemies-to-Lovers Historical Romance 
Set in the British Channel Islands

WINNIE'S REVIEW:
Sarah Sundin’s historical fiction novels are always a treat to read. Filled with rich historical detail and showcasing Sundin’s obvious deep and careful research, Mists Over the Channel Islands is beautifully written and brings to life what the residents of the Channel Islands had to endure during World War II. The setting on the island of Jersey, where most of the action took place, was richly painted, and I could easily visualize the action of the story. The map included at the front of the book helped immensely to follow where the events took place. It was also interesting to read additional information about the island posted at the end of the story.

The characters are very well-drawn and interesting, and the plot follows the history of actual happenings during the German occupation. I enjoyed learning more about this piece of history, although it was heart-breaking to see what the Jersey residents had to endure.

Dr. Ivy Picot stays on the island during the occupation, where she treats patients and also risks her life to treat injured labor camp escapees. When she encounters Dutch engineer Gerrit van der Zee, she is initially is suspicious of him but ends up working with him in resisting the Germans.

With plenty of action, suspense, intrigue, and a dash of romance, this book kept me turning the pages. The messages of inspiration, hope, and faith added depth to the story. 
*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy from Revell through Interviews and Reviews. All opinions are my own. 

PAULA'S REVIEW:
The beautiful, remote island of Jersey between France and England is the setting for this exciting story of resistance in WWII.
 
Dr. Ivy Picot stays on Jersey in order to take care of patients while her family members evacuate to England. Ivy, her sister Fern and brother Charlie and aunts and uncles remain in the place they call home.
 
Full of danger, intrigue and hidden loyalties, this story is one of stepping out in faith in order to further the cause for freedom against the Nazi regime.
 
Easily read as a standalone, it is connected to two other books by different aspects of WWII and cousins Aleida, Cilla and Gerrit Vander Zee. This is Gerrit’s story and his heroic deed of posing as a volunteer worker for Germany, while secretly helping the Resistance. He is drawn closer to the Picot family, especially Ivy, and tries to valiantly fulfill his commitment to work surreptitiously while protecting her family.
 
Not only was this a look at an interesting part of history, the romance was well-crafted and the ending brought tears of relief to my eyes.  
 
Another well researched, entertaining story by an accomplished author.

BackCover Blurb:
Behind enemy lines, adversary and ally become impossible to distinguish.

The German invasion of the British Channel Islands shatters Dr. Ivy Picot's peaceful world, forcing her to shoulder the weight of her father's medical practice and hold together a family unraveling under the strain of war. As conditions worsen in Jersey with the arrival of thousands of forced laborers, Ivy's quiet allegiance to the Allies compels her to risk everything by providing medical aid to escaped workers--even as danger closes in.

Dutch engineer and resistance member Gerrit van der Zee volunteers to build fortifications for the Germans so he can secretly send maps and diagrams to the Allies. On his arrival in the Channel Islands, he crosses paths with Ivy, who shows him contempt for the uniform he wears. As tensions mount and their missions grow increasingly dangerous, Ivy and Gerrit must confront the cost of courage, the meaning of sacrifice, and whether love can survive in the shadow of war. Will their covert efforts turn the tide--or will they pay the ultimate price for defiance?

Renowned WWII fiction author Sarah Sundin crafts a compelling historical romance featuring enemies-to-lovers, wartime resistance, and medical intrigue--a tale of loyalty, resilience, and courage when love and duty collide.

AN APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY by Jayna Breigh, Reviewed by Rebecca and Winnie #NewRelease


REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"Sweet Mahalia baby," . . . "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?"

She was so close. Moving steadily towards her next goal, Judge Mahalia Jackson could almost feel the heels of her shoes climbing higher up the ladder of success, gaining additional prestige, earning more respect in her field. There was only thing standing in her way, securing that upcoming appointment as assistant supervising judge. Then, much like a seasoned major league pitcher, the author throws a few perfectly timed curve balls which neither her readers or characters could have anticipated.

Jimmy Dean Cash, attorney at law, had vowed to stay on the straight and narrow, fully concentrating on his God given ability to defend widows and children. In doing so, he had been blessed with a wide measure of success. Unexpectedly, Cash finds himself presenting an argument before Judge Mahalia Jackson with regards to a large settlement, and for the first time in forever, JD has trouble concentrating on his case; the woman was absolutely stunning!

As if the heavens have declared their paths to cross again, Mahalia is called upon by her mentor to assist JD with a group of at-risk teens in a program called the Junior Jurors, thus demonstrating that she has a vested interest in community service while vying for her promotion. Unknown to Mahlia, not everyone is anxious to see her succeed, undercurrents of malicious intentions are bantered about in private messages and chat boards. By contrast, time spent with JD serves as a balm to her overworked soul, while being totally aware that any hint of personal connection could jeopardize everything they have worked so hard to protect . . . appearances of impropriety and all.

The inner struggle to be who you have always dreamed of being, versus who God may want you to become, is remarkably fleshed out within these characters. Not only is their spiritual tug-of-war quite authentically portrayed, but it is also swathed with rich biblical truths placed strategically within the narrative at just the right times and in all the right places.

And of course after reading this book, I'm of the opinion that every good romance needs an elevator scene!
*I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book from the publisher. I also purchased a copy. The opinions stated above are entirely my own.4.5 stars

WINNIE'S REVIEW:
Jayna Breigh is making a name for herself in the Christian mystery and suspense area. When she combines the suspense with a healthy dose of inspiration, a hunky hero, and an overachieving judge for a heroine, Breigh checks all the boxes for an enjoyable and fascinating story. Breigh also brings her legal background and knowledge into the tale to authenticate it and educate the reader. I enjoy learning new things while reading an engrossing book, so this was very entertaining to me.

Attorney Jimmy Dean Cash is a fantastic hero with a troubled past, but a heart for kids, widows, and people who’ve been wronged. Mahalia Jackson is the youngest female judge in LA and has her career all mapped out. She’s very beautiful and focused but needs someone like JD Cash to ruffle her feathers a bit. When they get thrown together to mentor some teens in the Junior Jurors Program, their preconceived futures get shaken up.

The characters are well-drawn and engaging, the plot is compelling and interesting, and the inspirational themes add depth to the story. I’m looking forward to more stories from this talented author.

BackCover Blurb:
As the youngest female judge in LA, Mahalia Jackson has her career goals carefully aligned. But when her mentor tells her she needs to break her shell of professionalism and show a little heart by volunteering for the Junior Jurors program, her plans begin to falter.

Attorney JD Cash heads up the Junior Jurors program, a project born out of his own troubled past. He leverages his position as an attorney to fulfill God's calling on his life, supporting the orphans and widows of society who have lost beloved husbands and fathers to TransNation's eighteen-wheeled time bombs roaming America's freeways.

Mahalia's rule—never date a lawyer—is a straitjacket that tightens when she presides over the case where JD serves as a young widow's attorney. But when an earthquake leaves JD and Mahalia in a vulnerable position, her resolve begins to waver and she finds herself opening up to the sad-eyed lawyer. But online, anonymous colleagues and adversaries attempt to destroy Mahalia’s reputation and career.

A legal drama threaded with romance, An Appearance of Impropriety will show readers that real love is worth the risk.

THE BIRD OF BEDFORD MANOR by Michelle Griep, Reviewed by Rebecca and Paula #ReleaseDay

 REBECCA'S REVIEW:

"What can be seen, but not touched, heard but never caught?"

Footsteps in the dark of night; careful, quiet, intentional, desperate. It was the one and only reason that Juliet Finch had begun to practice the unthinkable in order to keep from starving, to keep her aunt from starving. Poaching. A dangerous business, punishable by death if caught, so obviously Juliet was determined not to be found out. Until she was.

Henry Russell never once considered that the thief stealing game off of his property could be a young woman, and a rather beautiful one at that. She told quite a sad story to justify her actions, he would grant her that, but equally as puzzling were her mannerisms, which bore testimony of fine breeding. Regardless, she had been caught red handed. As he struggled to make sense of it all, the idea that came to mind would not make sense to anyone else but him. Task her with finding his sister's stalker.

At this point, the story begins to take on a life of its own, twisting and turning in multiple directions; and while Henry and his sister Charity are inclined to trust their new houseguest, it appears that both of the young women have become the target of suspicious activity, unless Juliet has duped them all, which unfortunately for Henry's heart, becomes a distinct possibility.

A twisty, inspirational, romantic novel showcasing the author's signature ability to weave a good tale, inserting fascinating bits of historical interest with relative ease while pulling the tension between hearts to the breaking point. Thoroughly enjoyable! 
*I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book from Barbour Publishing. The opinions stated above are entirely my own.

PAULA'S REVIEW:
The story takes place in 1820 England when Juliet is forced to turn to poaching in order to keep her aunt and herself from starvation. Caught red handed by the heir of Bedford Manor, Henry Russell, they strike a deal. Juliet will help Henry track someone who is stalking his sister Charity and he will not send her to jail. 

Two proud people trying to find their way in the world, Juliet adapts to the situation and Henry wants to prove to his widowed father that he can handle running the family estate properly.
With lots of twists and turns, this book provided excitement, a sweet romance and saw the spiritual growth of both Juliet and Henry. The writing style was engaging, the characters fully drawn and the plot so intriguing that it kept my interest. I was glad to see some history of Doctors, apothecaries and natural remedies including information about laws and licensing. 

A thoroughly enjoyable story that is sure to please history loving readers.

BackCover Blurb:

Henry, however, has other offenses on his mind: namely, the troublesome stalker who's making a misery of his sister's life. To try to put a stop to her torment, Henry charges Juliet with tracking the elusive villain so he can be brought to justice. Using her skills, Juliet hunts down the rogue. . .but may just become the prey herself.

AN APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY by Jayna Breigh, Reviewed by Paula Shreckhise #ReleaseDay


PAULA'S REVIEW:
I absolutely loved this story. The author makes 'legalese' understandable. The characters were stellar. J.D. was a flawed, redeemed, upright lawyer who fought for the underdog. Mahalia was a by-the-book judge who learned to loosen up and went back to her Christian roots. Since she was raised by a preacher granddaddy, those Bible quotes keep popping into her head.
 
Ms. Breigh writes in a natural, flowing way that put me right in the story, the elevator scene was epic. I loved the way J. D. calmed the situation by playing 20 questions to pass the time.
 
What started out as an at-odds relationship, blossomed into quite the romance. It goes to show that God might change the plans you thought were written in stone. The side characters rounded out the story to show the personality traits of J.D. and Mahalia.
 
What’s not to love when you mix an earthquake, someone making things difficult, and romance with interesting legal information.
 
Another excellent story by a very talented author.

BLAZE OF COURAGE by Avrie Swan, Tour and Review hosted by Paula Shreckhise #CelebrateLit

 

About the Book


Book: Blaze of Courage

Author: Avrie Swan

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Release Date: January 13, 2026

A mysterious locket brings a fire survivor and a wounded veteran together, but their growing feelings might be more dangerous than the men pursuing them.

Charlotte Clarke survived the flames that destroyed her town and took her family, but at what cost? Left injured and alone, she seizes the chance for a fresh start when a dying friend asks her to take a locket to a relative in Kentucky. But she has no means to reach her destination until she meets a handsome horse trainer headed south and convinces him to let her travel with him.

Haunted by his years in the cavalry and desperate to save his family’s failing stables, Stefan Roberts is focused on transporting his father’s racehorses to Kentucky for the spring races. He isn’t looking for complications—especially not in the form of a determined young woman with secrets of her own. Yet as they travel together, Charlotte’s courage and determination begin to crack the walls he’s built around his heart.

When a shadowy pursuer closes in, Stefan and Charlotte must face the pasts they’ve been running from, and the faith they thought they’d left behind, before their fragile hopes for the future go up in smoke.

PAULA'S REVIEW:

Peshtigo, Wisconsin to Lexington, Kentucky 

Charlotte has lost everything in the great Peshtigo fire. Recovering from her injuries, she sets out to return a keepsake to relatives of a friend who died in the fire. On her journey to Kentucky, she encounters Stephan who is taking two thoroughbreds to his father’s stables in Montecello, Kentucky. In Chicago they help out twins Tom and Sebastian who join them on the journey. 

The story is about the travels and sinister men who are after something Charlotte possesses. 

Along the way, Charlotte questions why God would let bad things happen to her if He cared. Stephan and others show her that God does care for her because He sacrificed His Son. 

This touching story had mystery, intrigue, a clear gospel message, a bit of romance, and characters that showed compassion and bravery. 

I was expecting to read more about the fire but maybe that was in the first book of the series. I lived pretty close to Peshtigo many years ago so I am interested in the history of the fire.

More from Avrie

Hello, folks!

When I wrote Blaze of Courage, I wanted to create a story centered on three things I love: adventure, faith, and horses. I adored horses as a kid, and although my family didn’t have the time, space, or money for a big animal, my mom managed to enroll me in a horseback riding camp when I was around nine or ten. I was over the moon! Since then, I’ve had more chances to interact with and learn about these loyal, graceful (and sometimes ungraceful) creatures. Blaze of Courage wouldn’t be complete without them!

In addition to everything related to horses, Charlotte and Stefan’s journey in Blaze of Courage centers on the theme of returning to Christ. Unlike Carina, who held onto her faith despite her struggles, the fire and its aftermath severely challenged Charlotte’s beliefs. Have you ever felt like hiding from everyone after being hurt? It’s often easier to hide our feelings and blame others rather than face what truly bothers us, and in Charlotte’s case, this includes trying to hide from and blame God. Of course, hiding from God is a strategy doomed to fail. What happens once Charlotte realizes this is something for you, dear reader, to discover.

The characters in Blaze of Courage are some of my favorites, and I thought it would be fun to create a little game based on them! Feel free to check out the link below and take the quiz to see which of the four group members you resemble most. If you play, share your results on social media or leave a comment on my Instagram! I’d love to see what you get. As always, God bless!
