MY THOUGHTS.....

Secrets can't stay buried forever.

Talk about a turbulent adventure! No one does romantic suspense better than Elizabeth Goddard, but her storytelling reaches another level in When the Silence Breaks. She straps readers into a roller-coaster ride of secrets, twists, and turns that sometimes gave me heart palpitations! From the first sentence to a spine-chilling confrontation with the villain...the nail-biting suspense never ceased!

A perilous search in the rugged terrain of the Cascade Mountains is the beginning of a special bond between Sarah Ellison and Ryder Goodwin. You can't experience mudslides, the threat of a volcano, and being pursued by a relentless assailant without developing a true dependence on each other! Add a deepening romantic awareness and an increasing reliance on God, and the result is romantic Christian suspense at its best!

I loved this book! If you enjoy intriguing characters, second-chances, and heart-pounding suspense, grab a copy of When the Silence Breaks. I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the Mercy Ridge series!

In a Word, Yes by Kit Tosello

ABOUT THE BOOK

Lucy Montgomery excels at drawing boundaries and avoiding risk. Her favorite word is no, and she's not afraid to use it. It's been five years since she picked up the leftovers from a crumbled marriage and started over with her brilliantly unique autistic son in Charity Falls, Oregon. As a single mom, she now works behind the scenes at a local newspaper. Enter Wyatt Hayes--an affable local police officer with the soul of a poet and the kindness she's always craved. A man who's more than eager to help her break free from her security blanket of an adventure-free life.
 
Lucy's celebrity mother, Carly Montgomery--a vivacious and beloved women's Bible study leader--can't deny a sense of weariness. But if she doesn't remain in perpetual motion, her regrets are bound to catch up with her. Despite the outward appearance of a perfect empty nester-life, she's kept her daughter at arms' length and has already missed so much of her young grandson's life. Is it too late to turn that around?
 
For Lucy and Carly to restore their relationship, and for Lucy and Wyatt to embrace the risk of loving, it will take a big step of faith to reconcile the past together.
 
Touching on life's complex and often humorous topics of relationships and family, Kit Tosello presents a story of romance, second chances, emotional healing, and faith.

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS....

Love. The consuming love of a mother for her son. The amazing bond between a daughter and mother. A second chance for romantic love. Did I enjoy this book about the many kinds of love? In a Word, Yes!

In a Word, Yes is the poignant story of a young, divorced woman who has chosen to devote her life completely to her autistic nine-year-old son, Chase. Lucy Montgomery lives in a small community and works at the local newspaper, The Mountain Messenger, and this gives author Kit Tosello a brilliant avenue to show Lucy's love for words. It was so fun to have little-known words and their definitions at the beginning of each new chapter, and I learned so much!

Lucy, a bit of an introvert, is encouraged by a local police officer to accept new challenges. I loved seeing her blossom due to his friendship and a renewed relationship with her parents. Carly Montgomery is a noted author, but she's also experiencing her own conflicts. Would Lucy accept her offer to co-author a book together? Could this be a way for Carly to spend more time with Lucy and Chase? Would Lucy's talents finally be used for more than small articles in the newspaper?

This heartwarming women's fiction novel offers romance, new beginnings, and second chances, but it's also very realistic. The emotions are real, and Tosello shows that overcoming pain and disappointment takes time, and changing one's life requires hope and deep belief. I was deeply inspired by the message of faith woven throughout this captivating story!

Encountering Jesus: A Bible Study for Beginners by Bethany House Publishers

ABOUT THE BOOK

An Easy-to-Understand, Practical Study on the Life and Ministry of Jesus

If you've ever wanted to study the Bible but didn't know where to start, this study was made for you. Encountering Jesus is a friendly, accessible six-session introduction to the life and ministry of Jesus, designed specifically for beginners. No prior Bible knowledge required. Just an open mind and a willingness to encounter the person at the center of all four Gospels.

Throughout the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, we meet Jesus of Nazareth as he moves through first-century Judea--teaching, healing, and stopping to encounter people in all their complexity: the rich young ruler, the woman at the well, Nicodemus, blind Bartimaeus, the woman caught in adultery, the forgotten, the powerful, and the outcast. Some of those encounters brought transformation. Others were met with resistance and anger. All of them reveal who Jesus is--and all of them still speak today.

Each of the six sessions includes:
● An overview of the passage and its context--so you always know where you are in the story
● Bible study strategies--practical tools for engaging Scripture on a deeper level that you'll carry into every Bible study you do from here
● Memory verses and prayer prompts--to help the words of Jesus take root in your daily life
● Questions for further reflection--designed to spark meaningful conversation in a group or honest self-examination on your own

This study is ideal for new believers taking their first steps in Scripture, for anyone who has attended church for years but never felt confident reading the Bible on their own, and for small group leaders looking for an accessible, substantive six-week curriculum. It works equally well for personal study or group use

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

Encountering Jesus: A Bible Study for Beginners is the perfect choice for novice Christians or anyone wanting to understand God's Word. The study notes are clear and concise, and each of the thirty selections in this six-week study follows the same format: appropriate Scripture, insightful commentary, prayer prompts, and space to record our thoughts.

This engaging six-week bible study delivers exactly what it promises. Participants get to encounter Jesus as the Messiah, the Rabbi, the Teacher, the Shepherd, the King, and the Savior! Yes, it targets beginners, but I am finding so much to increase my own Bible knowledge! Encountering Jesus is a wonderful resource!

Thank you, Bethany House, for the complimentary copy. There was no obligation to post a positive review.

The Amazing Crab Alley Revival by Sharon Wilharm

ABOUT THE BOOK

The year is 1897 and wealthy widow Lydia Culpepper is evaluating her mundane existence. For sixty-three years, she’s faithfully gone through the motions of fulfilling everyone else’s expectations for her life, but nothing she does is ever enough. She longs for something more. When a young boy comes to her house in search of his missing coon dog, she gets her wish. She meets Emily Reed, a young finishing school instructor, and Opal Jackson, an Irish single mother, and the three women join together on a mission that turns the First Community Church on its head. Suddenly, the town is in an uproar as lives are being changed. When Yellow Fever hits, it looks like their efforts may have been in vain, but the epidemic isn’t enough to thwart the fruits of the Crab Alley Revival.

A Southern historical retelling of Lydia in the Bible.

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

Lydia Culpepper, the last remaining member of the First Baptist Church's founding family, is feeling burdened. She's enjoyed sixty-five years of attending church, so why shouldn't everyone have the same chance in Port Royal, Florida? What needed to be done so that each of them could experience the joy and satisfaction that comes from worshipping God?

"A revival is nothing else than a new beginning of obedience to God."--- Charles Finney

It's hard to believe that this is a debut novel! Multi-faceted characters and a well-developed story kept me fully engaged, but I was also challenged by the thought-provoking message in The Amazing Crab Alley Revival. What good is perfect church attendance if we don't put our convictions to work? Lydia wanted a revival in Port Royal. Isn't a revival exactly what is needed today?

I was deeply touched when Lydia and Emily took the Word of God to the people of Crab Alley. Oh, the joy when the children learned about God and His love! I couldn't stop smiling!

Author Sharon Wilharm gives readers a heartwarming story of faith, dedication, and renewal. I highly recommend it to all who enjoy Christian fiction.

I received an ARC from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Light of Stars by Jenelle Hovde

ABOUT THE BOOK

An arranged marriage. A powerful company tainted with corruption. Two souls caught between obligation and a longing to find their true calling in this Regency romance set in both glittering London ballrooms and Calcutta street markets.

When Kitty Grenville’s grandfather announces her engagement to Sebastian Sinclair, she’s appalled. She barely remembers the boy she met once as a child—and now he’s a man tied to the East India Company, the very organization that tore her and her brother from their mother and home in Hyderabad years ago. Unwilling to relinquish her dream of a love match or her passion for astronomy, Kitty is determined to refuse the marriage and find freedom in her own way.

Sebastian Sinclair carries the weight of duty and regret. To atone for past sins, he complies with his grandfather’s orders to return to England, fulfill a long-standing betrothal, and defend the maligned East India Company before Parliament. Though Kitty makes her disinterest clear, Sebastian is drawn to her intellect and spirit.

As Kitty navigates her first London season, her opinion of Sebastian begins to shift—especially when he shields her from scandal. When he’s abruptly called back to India, Kitty stuns everyone by marrying him and going with him, hoping to escape her grandfather’s control—and to find her mother.

But the challenges that await in India are greater than imagined. Together, Kitty and Sebastian must confront the legacy of family and empire—and decide if a marriage born of obligation can grow into a love strong enough to endure.

Sweet historical romance filled with hope, faith, and an arranged marriage dynamicPerfect for fans of Julie Klassen, Sarah Ladd, or Abigail Wilson. Includes discussion questions for book clubs

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

Jenelle Hovde includes subterfuge, drama, and historical details in an epic story set in England and India in the early 1800s. I loved learning about the East India Company, Kitty's fascination with astronomy, and historical figures William Wilberforce and William Carey. Who knew that history lessons could be so enjoyable?

I was totally smitten with the two main characters! Kitty Grenville's spirited strength and Sebastian Sinclair's gallantry endured, even when they were coerced into an arranged marriage by Kitty's grandfather. Slowly, this marriage of convenience evolved into a captivating union marked by sweet romance and swoon-worthy chemistry

If you enjoy historical fiction woven with breathtaking romance and a strong message of faith, you will want to read The Light of Stars. It is one of my favorite books of 2026!

Twilight Tactics (Soldiers in Shadows, #1) by Lynette Eason

ABOUT THE BOOK

FBI agent Collin Sullivan arrives at Broken Chains Ranch with Ollie Callahan--a foster teen and sole witness to a mob hit. The ranch, started by Collin's cousin to provide a trauma recovery facility for veterans, should be a place he can keep Ollie safe until the trial. But what was meant as a peaceful haven becomes a battleground when armed attackers surround the property.

Survival expert Elena Thompson teaches wilderness skills at the ranch and coaches Ollie in self-defense, but soon the series of attacks on the ranch escalates into a full siege. The question is, Who are the attackers after? Ollie, the young witness? Or Elena, with her mysterious past? Cut off from help by tech skills superior to their own, Collin and Elena fight to keep everyone alive as secrets and danger close in.

USA Today bestselling author Lynette Eason presents an action-packed start to a new series with twists and turns readers will never see coming.

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

A teenage witness to a murder. FBI Special Agents in charge of protecting her. Safeway houses that are compromised. Is there a leak at the Agency?

In this thrilling new story from Lynette Eason, a terrifying car chase was only the beginning of this riveting adventure. High-tech surveillance, bomb-sniffing dogs, and mob-related activities kept me turning the pages and often scratching my head. Every time I thought I knew the culprit, an unexpected twist would alter the scenario!

Eason excels in creating extraordinary characters, realistic emotions, and inspiring messages of faith, but she never forgets the romance! Their efforts to help Ollie are the beginning of a tantalizing relationship between Sully and Elena. Friendship built on trust that slowly evolves into something even more special. Clean, heartwarming, but totally swoon-worthy romance!

If you enjoy riveting Christian suspense, you will absolutely love Twilight Tactics! It is the first book in Eason's new series, Soldiers in Shadows.

Through the Valley (The Amish of Shepherd's Hill, #3) by Patricia Johns

ABOUT THE BOOK

Miri Schrock never expected to inherit anything after months of caring for Old Tom Yoder, so upon his passing, she's stunned to learn he's left her everything. But Tom's family is equally shocked, and Miri is not sure she can rightfully accept an inheritance that clearly belongs to Tom's grandsons. 
 
Moses Yoder thought he knew his grandfather, but his decision to leave the family farm to Miri has Moses questioning everything. Now he's caught between his family's demands that Miri surrender what's rightfully theirs and his own growing romantic attraction toward her. As Moses and Miri are drawn together, they must navigate family tensions, but discovering the truth behind the inheritance may change everything they thought they knew about love, family, and God's plan for their future. 
 
Family, tradition, and romance come together in this heart-tugging Amish romance from Publishers Weekly bestselling author Patricia Johns.

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

How can I best describe this book? Heartwarming? Inspiring? Yes to both, but most of all, Through the Valley is captivating! I absolutely loved the return to Shepherd's Hill, a reunion with the Schrock sisters, and the realistic emotions in this series' conclusion.

Veterinarian Tabitha Schrock may lose her chance for love and happiness if a matchmaker succeeds in finding her best friend a perfect match. Has Tabitha waited too long to tell Jonas Peachy that she has romantic feelings for him?

Miri Schrock has her own dilemma! An unexpected inheritance gives her a chance to do what she loves most, but is owning Tom Yoder's farm worth being alienated from her Amish community? I was especially impressed by Tom's grandson, Moses. His dismay over losing the family farm is slowly changed by his growing admiration for this young woman. Perhaps Miri deserves to have this farm!

I've enjoyed all three books in the Amish of Shepherd's Hill series, but I can't say enough good things about Through the Valley! Satisfying romance, Amish values, and a powerful reminder to trust in God's Plan made this a must-read for me. Well done, Patricia Johns!

ABOUT THE BOOK

He thought he’d experienced the McQuaid legacy of love with his childhood sweetheart. But he’d been wrong. Or had he?

Executive protection agent Dustin McQuaid is always in control of himself and is considered the best bodyguard in his agency. But he has one Assignments to guard women are off-limits. When he’s asked to protect the woman he once loved and hoped to marry, he refuses at first, but the large bonus might be just what he needs to launch the app he’s been developing.

When a stalker begins to haunt billionaire heiress Silver St. James, she agrees to have Dustin as her bodyguard, telling herself that she won’t fall for him again—not after he rejected her back in high school. She’s happy running her equestrian therapy ranch, and she has no desire to renew a relationship with the man who broke her heart.

As the stalker closes in, Dustin concocts a plan to keep Silver safe by pretending that they’re honeymooners. But the more time he spends with her, the more out of control he feels as he falls fast and furiously for her again. Can they both let go of the insecurities of the past to embrace a new future together? Or will they push one another away once again?

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

This engaging story once again explores the McQuaid family legacy! Is it true that the McQuaid men fall in love fast, furious, and forever? Dustin McQuaid thinks he has escaped this legacy until he accepts an assignment to protect an heiress who is being stalked. His first love, Silver St. James, appears to be in danger! Will he be the one who needs protecting?

Horseshoes and Honeymoons is another captivating read from Jody Hedlund! It has toe-curling kisses, sizzling chemistry, and pent-up emotions that erupt whenever Silver and Dustin are together, but there's also danger and mystery that add to the tension. Who is sending those threatening notes to Silver?

The Echo of Your Heart (Welcome to Redemption, Alaska, #4) by Heidi McCahan

ABOUT THE BOOK

He made her mix CDs. Drove her home in the dark. Idled at the curb through an entire Alaska winter just so she'd have a ride after practice.

She called him her best friend. Then she left.

Scottie Sheridan has spent seven years proving she doesn't need Redemption — or anyone in it. She films reality survival shows in the Alaskan wilderness, runs camera on heaving fishing boats in driving rain, chases the perfect shot in every dangerous place her boss can find. The job is her whole life. The adrenaline fills the gaps.

It's also going to get her killed. And Tate McGuire knows it.

When a last-minute assignment pulls Scottie back to Redemption — back to her ailing father, her complicated stepsister, and the man she never let herself really see — Tate is done pretending he's fine with "just friends." He's watched her take every risk but the one that matters. He's prayed over every dangerous gig she's taken. And now she's here, filming on the same wild waters he pilots for a living, and every instinct he has is screaming.

When a violent collision on Prince William Sound puts Scottie in the water and Tate in after her, fifteen years of silence finally breaks the surface.

She left because staying hurt too much. He stayed because leaving was never an option.

AMAZON

MY THOUGHTS.....

Scottie Sheridan faces risks in her return to Redemption, Alaska, but it is Tate McGuire's heart that appears to be in danger! This captivating romance has a friends-to-lovers trope, a delightful small-town setting, and the fun and excitement of a reality show being filmed in Redemption!

Who says opposites can't attract and clean romance won't take your breath away? I loved that the very cautious Tate McGuire prayed for his longtime friend daily and hated that Scottie's self-doubts fueled her choice to constantly take risks. Realistic emotions, electrifying chemistry, and an inspiring message of faith make this a captivating story of the heart!. I recommend The Echo of Your Heart to all who enjoy romantic Christian fiction.

Rescuer (Heroes of Renegade Book 5) by Dana R. Lynn

ABOUT THE BOOK

Some rescues require risking everything—including your heart.

Special education teacher Mia Turner never wanted to return to Renegade, especially not to face Jackson Stewart—the man who shattered her heart and abandoned her in her darkest hour. But when her students start disappearing and a shadowy foundation's "youth camp" becomes ground zero for a dangerous plot, she has no choice but to trust the one man she swore she'd never forgive.

When the past collides with a deadly present, survival depends on forgiveness.

Paramedic Jackson Stewart will do anything to find his missing brother Dylan, even work with the woman who decimated his heart. But as dangerous secrets surface in Renegade, Jackson must face the possibility that finding his brother means confronting not just his painful past with Mia, but a conspiracy that could destroy everything he's fought to protect.

In a town where secrets kill and trust is a luxury they can't afford, love might be the only thing that can save them all.

Book 5 in the Renegade County series by Dana R. Lynn, created by Susan May Warren and Lisa Phillips. Standalone thriller with pulse-pounding suspense and a romance worth rescuing!

AMAZON     SUNRISE PUBLISHING

MY THOUGHTS.....

I am a big fan of books written by Dana R. Lynn. I can always count on multifaceted characters, intriguing plot twists, and unanswered questions that keep me turning the pages! Rescuer has all of these, plus an engaging emotional element. Mia and Jackson's tangled past, their current efforts to find missing teens, and Mia's troubled faith journey transformed this into more than just danger and mystery. I became emotionally invested in their future. Could they hope for a second chance?

Rescuer is a thrilling addition to the Heroes of Renegade series. I recommend it to all who enjoy romantic Christian suspense.
