On the Edge of Trust by Patricia Bradley

On the Edge of Trust
ABOUT THE BOOK

Sometimes the closer you get to justice, the deadlier it becomes.

When decorated FBI undercover agent Scott Sinclair suffers a gunshot wound in his right arm, the injury threatens his future career in the field. He is determined to regain his former job by training himself to use his left hand, and failure is not an option--especially when he's unofficially pulled into an investigation.

Tori Mitchell is a passionate crime reporter and podcaster who has dedicated her life to seeking justice. Her relentless pursuit of the truth has freed a wrongfully convicted man from prison, making Tori an enemy of the true killer. When her nephew is accused of a different murder, nothing can stop her from getting involved and clearing his name.

Soon after Tori and Scott reconnect on the case, shots are fired, leaving them to wonder which of them has been targeted. As the investigation intensifies, so do the threats and the sparks between them, but Tori's doubtful if she can extend grace and trust to Scott. They'll have to combine their skills and rely on their growing relationship to outsmart the killer.



MY THOUGHTS.....

Looking for nail-biting suspense, sweet romance, and a faith message that speaks to your heart? Grab a copy of On the Edge of Trust! Author Patricia Bradley takes us back to Logan Point, Mississippi, to navigate a riveting maze of danger, clues, and realistic emotions. Logan Point is the town featured in Bradley's first books, but don't stress if you haven't read them. She makes sure that readers are never in the dark!

Crime reporter Tori Mitchell is determined to help her nephew, but it's soon apparent that she needs help herself! Danger and tension escalate as she and a long-time friend work to solve a decades-old mystery, and their long-buried romantic feelings promise even more excitement!

Family drama, unresolved issues, and the need for grace and forgiveness make this a captivating novel! I recommend On the Edge of Trust to all who enjoy romantic Christian suspense.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review.

An Amish Bookshop Courtship (Amish Chocolate Shop Brides, Book 2) by Patricia Johns

An Amish Bookshop Courtship: An Uplifting Inspirational Romance (Amish Chocolate Shop Brides Book 2)
ABOUT THE BOOK

Can the end of one chapter
be the start of their own love story?


Returning home to sell his late father’s bookstore, the last thing Amish carpenter Jesse Kauffman expects is to be roped into a pretend romance…with his childhood best friend. But Fannie Flaud is determined to shape her own future and will do anything to avoid the matchmaking plans of her well-meaning family. As they spend time together and rebuild their friendship, real feelings begin to grow between them. Now torn between Fannie and the life he has planned in Indiana, Jesse must Can he let go of his past to stay with the woman he’s always loved?





MY THOUGHTS.....

An Amish bookshop evokes mixed feelings for two old friends in this touching story from author Patricia Johns. It was a special part of Fannie Flaud's growing-up years in Menno Hills, but the owner's son can't wait to get rid of it! Jesse Kauffman plans to sell Kauffman Books, go back to Indiana, and put his haunted past behind him. Unless....Fannie can recruit him to help her avoid the plans of well-meaning matchmakers!

I loved the pretend courtship that slowly blossomed into sweet romance, and Fannie's compassion as she realized that Jesse's youth wasn't as idyllic as hers. Could she help him forgive the father who had hurt him so deeply? Would her plans for the bookshop convince him to stay?

Books and chocolate. Friendship and second chances. An Amish Bookshop Courtship is a perfect choice during this hectic Christmas season! I recommend it to all who enjoy Amish Christian romance.
