A Small-Town Christmas Challenge (Widow's Peak Creek #3) by Susanne Dietze

A Small-Town Christmas Challenge (Widow's Peak Creek, #3)
ABOUT THE BOOK

Will reviving an old tradition be the start of something new?

When she inherits a beautiful historic house, nurse Leah Dean knows selling it could solve all her problems. But there’s just one catch—she and co-owner Pastor Benton Hunt must cohost the Gingerbread Gala in the home first. As Christmas approaches, Leah and Benton grow closer, and parting with the house—and each other—is not as easy as they thought…







MY THOUGHTS.....

What's more enjoyable than Christmas in a small town? How about spending Christmas in Widow's Peak Creek? I've loved the two previous visits to this special place, but author Susanne Dietze places the 'star on the top of the tree' with this story that is centered around the Christmas holidays. Benton Hunt and Leah Dean inherit a lovely Victorian house, but it's more of a complication than a blessing, because they aren't a couple and never, ever intend to be a couple!

I absolutely loved this book! A Small-Town Christmas Challenge has memorable characters, the sweet promise of romance, and a beautiful benefit gala that gives you all of the joy associated with a small-town Christmas celebration. We get to catch up with some of the people from the previous books and, as in all of these books, there is a compelling faith message. Dietze reminds us that we may think that we are in control of our lives, but God is the One who truly knows our future!

I received a copy of this book from the author, but was in no way obligated to post a favorable review. These are my own thoughts.


My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dead Fall (The Quantico Files #2) by Nancy Mehl

Dead Fall (The Quantico Files, #2)
ABOUT THE BOOK

After facing the demons from her past, Alex Donovan is ready to move on and focus on her career at the FBI's elite Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU). When renowned profiler and BAU co-founder John Davis is found dead in his hotel room, the FBI is called in to work on the strangest case they've ever faced. How do you find a killer who murders his victims without touching them?

When it becomes clear that the killer is targeting agents in Alex's unit, they are ordered into lockdown, sheltered in the dorms at Quantico. Alex bunks with a controversial agent, Kaely Quinn, who has returned after being dismissed three years earlier. As they work together, Alex discovers in Kaely the role model she's never had, despite being warned away.

As Alex questions who she wants to become, things get personal when the brilliant killer strikes close to home. Now Alex will do anything to find the killer--even at the risk of her own life.







MY THOUGHTS.....

This new book emphasizes Nancy Mehl's amazing ability to get into the minds of those who are intent on evil, and I was fascinated with the villain that she's created for Dead Fall. This madman is targeting the members of the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit, and it becomes apparent that the murders are being done from afar. Alex Donovan and Logan Hart are back, from the first book of this series, and they're both caught in a frantic race to discover the killer, before they lose more of their team members. Kaely Quinn is also involved, and I'm once again impressed with just how special she really is. I became her fan after reading the Kaely Quinn, Profiler series, and Kaely's own tortured past offers her special insight into Alex's personal issues. She is there to help and encourage Alex, and I loved seeing the friendship that evolves between two women who have each overcome so many obstacles.

Mehl has created an intense thriller filled with danger, adventure, and surprising twists, and she once again weaves a compelling faith message into her story. Dead Fall is an intriguing psychological drama and I recommend it to all who enjoy Christian suspense novels.

I received a copy of this book from the author and publisher. There was no obligation for a favorable review. These are my own thoughts.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Deadly Target (Rocky Mountain Courage, #2) by Elizabeth Goddard

Deadly Target (Rocky Mountain Courage, #2)ABOUT THE BOOK

Criminal psychologist Erin Larson's dreams of a successful career come to a screeching halt when she nearly loses her own life in a boating accident on Puget Sound and then learns that her mother tried to commit suicide. She leaves her job as a criminal psychologist to care for her mother in Montana. At least she is able to produce her podcast, which focuses on solving missing persons cold cases.

Nathan Campbell's father was investigating such a case when he was shot, and now Nathan needs to enlist Erin's help to solve the case. She's good at what she does. The only problem? She's his ex.

As the two dig deeper, it becomes clear that they, too, are being targeted--and that the answers to their questions are buried deep within the past Erin struggles to explain and longs to forget.

The race is on for the truth in this gripping and complex tale of suspense, intrigue, and murder from USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard.








MY THOUGHTS.....

A criminal psychologist, a local detective, missing children, and a cold case investigation.... each time I read a book by Elizabeth Goddard, I think it's her best, but I believe that Deadly Target is TRULY her best yet! This story begins with an easy, soothing kayak ride down the Puget Sound but don't be fooled---this is the last easy, soothing scene you will encounter. Goddard transports readers into an electrifying adventure filled with danger, suspense, and numerous questions needing to be answered. Surprises, multiple twists-and-turns, and family secrets make this a book that I couldn't put down, and there's an unexpected development that I didn't see coming. There are also great characters, and I was especially drawn to Erin Larson and Nathan Campbell, two people who carry deep wounds from their youth and also share a painful romantic break-up. Will they become more than just two professionals caught up in a deadly cold case investigation?

Deadly Target is primarily set in Montana and even though it's the second book in the Rocky Mountain Courage series, it can easily be read as a standalone. Are you in the mood for a clean romance? Look no further. Searching for a thrilling suspense novel with a strong faith element? This is the book for you! I highly recommend Deadly Target and I look forward to the next book in this series!

I received a copy of this book from the author and publisher. There was absolutely no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.

Mascot
AmazonBarnes and Noble


MY THOUGHTS.....

Bruce the Spruce has long enjoyed Christmases with the same family, until he is replaced by a brand-new Christmas tree. Suddenly, his twenty years of service are over in an instant! Bruce experiences many feelings: sadness, disappointment, and even fear, as he finds himself out on the street, taken to another home for one short evening, and then left on the curb to face the garbage collector. Bruce had always felt special, but will he never again be the star of Christmas?

Children will love the rhyming text used to share Bruce's adventures, and they'll enjoy seeing the colorful illustrations that depict Bruce, his fantastic experiences, and his encounter with Rocky, the magnificent Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. Author A. A. Crist uses their meeting to remind children what is truly important. "No matter what's on the outside, whether ordinary or fine. It's the joy we bring to others that makes us truly shine."

Bruce the Spruce is the perfect holiday book for families to read together, and it's also a wonderful teaching tool that would be a great addition to school libraries.

I received a copy of this book from the author via iRead Book Tours. There was no obligation for a favorable review. This is my own opinion.

Cool Kids by Arlene Freeman: Review & Giveaway with iRead Book Tours



 Join Us for This Tour:  November 22nd to December 10th

 
Book Details:

Book Title:  Cool Kids by Arlene Freeman
Category:  Children's Fiction (Ages 3-7), 38 pages
Genre:  Chldren's Picture Book
Publisher:  Mascot Publishing
Release date:   October 2021
Content Rating:  G.  Suitable for all ages.
 
Book Description:
​​
Like most kids, Michael and his friends are so excited for their first day at a new school. They have a lot of questions about what to expect, but most of all, they wonder if they’ll get to join the football team. That would be the perfect way to start the year! However, Michael soon finds out that it’s not as easy as he thinks. The team is filled with bullies, and to join, he has to become one of them. In order to be cool enough to get a spot on the football team, Michael has to start changing his behavior—for the worse! Suddenly, terrible things start happening to him. Finally, he begins to wonder: Was it all worth it?
 

MY THOUGHTS.....

Michael Goodly is both excited and nervous, because he's about to start fourth grade in a new school. He wants to fit in and play football, but it looks like being mean and hurting people may be the only way to be accepted by some of the other players. Is acting tough and hateful the only way that Michael will be allowed to play football with these guys?

Acceptance and fitting in are very important to young people and bullying is an issue that many of them face today. Author Arlene Freeman assures children that they don't have to act tough or mean to be considered cool. In fact, Michael learns that being nice and helping others is the perfect way to gain friends and become one of the 'cool kids'!

Cool Kids is filled with bright, colorful pictures that immediately capture a child's attention, but keeping younger children interested may be hard, because of its length. I believe that Cool Kids is better suited for children in elementary school, and I consider it a valuable resource for both home and school.

I received a copy of this book from the author via iRead Book Tours. There was no obligation for a favorable review. These are my own thoughts.

Behind Love's Wall by Carrie Fancett Pagels: Review & Giveaway with Celebrate Lit

 

About the Book

Behind Love's Wall

Author: Carrie Fancett Pagels

Genre: FICTION/ Christian/Romance

Release date: November 1, 2021

Two successful women, a hundred-and-twenty-years apart, build walls to protect their hearts. Modern-day Willa, a successful interior decorator, is chosen to consult for the Grand Hotel’s possible redesign. She discovers a journal detailing the struggles of a young woman, Lily—which reveals dark secrets. The renowned singer wasn’t who she pretended to be. As Willa reaches out to Lily’s descendant, a charismatic and prominent landscape artist, she lets down her guard. Should she share the journal with him, or once again erect a wall as she struggles to redesign both the Grand and her life?

 

Click here to get your copy!

MY THOUGHTS.....

What a book! Questions, secrets, and two unforgettable couples add to the appeal of Behind Love's Wall, a distinctive dual timeline story that spans 125 years! In 1895, Lily has a secret that she must hide, even from the man who has captured her heart, and present day Willa has a question needing to be answered. Is it possible that Willa's discovery of Lily's journal may lead her to the answer she's searching for? Will this century-old journal help Willa to reconcile the present and determine her future?

Author Carrie Fancett Pagels once again returns to the beautiful setting of Mackinac Island to share these two fascinating stories and she features the famous Grand Hotel as a supporting character in both of them. Mental illness is a recurring theme, and Pagels's knowledge as a psychologist allows her to highlight the advancements 
that have occurred during the last century that help us to better understand this disease. Ample doses of faith, forgiveness, and unconditional love, along with intrigue and mystery, certainly add to its interest, but the 'icing on the cake' for this novel are the two heartwarming romances. I recommend Behind Love's Wall to all who enjoy historical Christian romance and dual timeline plots.

I received a complimentary copy of this book but was under no obligation to post a positive review. These are my own thoughts.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Why I Wrote This Novel

 

I got a chance to write another novel set on Mackinac Island!!!

 

I’m the author of over twenty published stories. I have many books, both novel and novella length, set at the Straits of Mackinac including Maggie Award winner and Romantic Times Top Pick My Heart Belongs on Mackinac Island. In the summer, I go up to the area and I’m blessed to sign books at the Island Bookstore—sometimes hundreds of books which is such an amazing thing I can’t tell you! Now that MHBoMI is out of print, Barbour has been helping by doing limited print runs for while I am up there.

 

My Heart Belongs on Mackinac Island was originally part of a full series that I pitched but it didn’t get picked up for all three stories. MHBoMI got picked up as part of the My Heart Belongs series that Barbour put out a few years ago. The second book in my original Brides of Mackinac series was heroine Sadie’s story, which was published as a novella “His Anchor” in First Love Forever collection.  So I had two of my book babies delivered out into the world and Lily’s story sat there for a while.

 

In the Covid summer of 2020, I arrived in my home state of Michigan and over dinner with a close friend I learned that the folks at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island were having legal trouble with their previous long-time designed Carlton Varney suing them. I’d been disappointed that the Mussers, who’d owned the Grand for generations, had sold the hotel but this new development really bugged me.  While I was in the Upper Peninsula, I finished an Indy book, Dogwood Plantation, which only figures since I often write my Michigan stories while I am in Virginia and vice versa! I knew the only other book I wanted to work on was to complete my Brides of Mackinac trilogy (not exactly since they aren’t all in one series!) with Lily’s story. I also had a manuscript about 70% done that was my very first contemporary Women’s Fiction novel. When my agent encouraged me to submit a Mackinac Island story set at the Grand Hotel to Barbour’s Doors to the Past series, I knew immediately that the only story for historical I wanted to write was Lily’s. That meant that I needed, for this dual-timeline series, a contemporary story. That wasn’t just a chance sharing at dinner—I believe the info about the lawsuit was meant to be passed on to me one of those God-incidences. My modern-day heroine then became an established resort designer who had a trunkful of issues just like Lily did.

 

Was I ever glad that I had finally written my first contemporary Women’s Fiction (Butterfly Cottage) because that skill set came in very handy in writing the modern-day 2020 story of Willa in Behind Love’s Wall! This was the most difficult novel to write that I have done so far as I write in character and going back and forth between the 1895 and 2020 timelines could be draining. I tried to write each character and setting on separate days but that couldn’t always be managed.

 

I pray that this story will touch readers’ hearts. I pray that someone, like the young waitress I meant on Mackinac Island who had been spiritually moved by My Heart Belongs on Mackinac Island (she read her grandmother’s copy after her grandma passed away!), will read this book and feel that connection to our Maker. That’s what Christian Fiction is all about!

Farm to Film by Hannah Miles Pierrou: Review & Giveaway

The BlogAbout Blogger Network recently sent me two beautiful hardback books, one to review and one to giveaway! Farm to Film, written and illustrated by Hannah Miles Pierrou, is a lovely ABC book for early readers but it's pretty enough to be displayed on your coffee table! Check out my review and then enter the giveaway for a copy of Farm to Film.


ABOUT THE BOOK

An Alphabetical Adventure Told Through the Eyes of an Old Lens.

Adventure through the alphabet with fun illustrations and nostalgic joy as you read to your child (or have them read to you)! Farm to Film: An Alphabetic Adventure Told Through the Eyes of An Old Lens written and illustrated by Hannah Miles Pierrou (Treehouse Storyteller, October, 2021) will attract the eager young reader with the playful images and farm animals.

Find a new favorite animal with every page turned, and enjoy listening to the rhythmic sounds over each read. Readers drawn to wholesome topics for their littles will appreciate the unique watercolor and classic message to entertain children.

Whether it's the geometric designs, the plump pig's expression, or the playful narrative, readers of all ages will be delighted from A-Z.




    



MY THOUGHTS.....

"Have you ever been to nowhere---that really is SOMEWHERE?"

I love this book, and I'm long past the target age for Farm to Film! Hannah Miles Pierrou is the author and illustrator of this special book that is filled with easy-to-read text and gorgeous illustrations that both entertain and educate. From alpacas, to ladybugs, to zippers---the ABCs are used to take young readers on an alphabetical adventure around Pop and Gram's farm, and Pierrou uses mesmerizing text and soothing pastel colors to explain and illustrate the importance of these things that are found on the farm. Children will be charmed, but their parents and grandparents will especially delight in the nostalgic pictures that take them on a trip down memory lane. All of this is accomplished because 'Pop's Old CAMERA makes the perfect eye to VIEW the world' and you can imagine the discussion that will occur about this vintage camera with its 'rough leather case, buckles and ZIPPERS'.

Farm to Film is a wonderful book for families and it's pretty enough to display on your coffee table. I highly recommend this book as a great addition to both a home or school library!

I received a copy of this book from the author via BlogAbout Blogger Network, but there was no obligation for a positive review. These thoughts are my own.



My rating: 5 of 5 stars
