Review: Countdown by Lynette Eason

 

💜🔫BOOK REVIEW!🔫💜

I’m so excited that Countdown by Lynette Eason is NOW AVAILABLE! 

I absolutely loved this conclusion to the fabulous Extreme Measures series! Check out my full review below!

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wowza! What a crazy and wonderful thrill ride! I’m one of Lynette Eason’s biggest fans, her books are always on my most anticipated releases list, and Countdown was no exception! I have loved Raina and been so intrigued to learn her story since first meeting her in Life Flight, and Countdown most definitely did not disappoint! Raina and Vince made such a great couple! My heart broke for Raina, and while I have not been through the same things she had I can totally relate to her struggle to trust God! The faith story in this book was beautifully written, and touched my heart so deeply! Vince was an amazing hero, I loved that he was strong and tough, but also didn’t shy away from being gentle and tender with Raina, and I also loved that he wasn’t afraid to share his emotions! 

The mystery had my eyes glued to the page, and the suspense was everything and more that I have come to expect from a Lynette Eason novel, loved that!

I loved absolutely everything about Countdown, and my only complaint would be that I was sad to say goodbye to the characters from the Extreme Measures series! 

I most highly recommend Countdown, and I cannot wait to read the next series from this amazing author! 

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher.

Review: The Love Script by Toni Shiloh

 

🎥💜💇🏾‍♀️BOOK REVIEW!💇🏾‍♀️💜🎥

I’m so excited that The Love Script by Toni is NOW AVAILABLE! 

I loved this book to pieces! Check out my full review below!

My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh my stars! What a phenomenal read! I’ve been a huge fan of Toni Shiloh’s books for years, and they are always most anticipated releases for me! 

I seriously adored The Love Script so very much! I loved Nevaeh, she is a wonderful heroine and I found myself relating to her faith journey. And Lamont is AMAZING! Where can I find me a man like him?! 

I adored all the characters, Nevaeh, Lamont, Ms. Rosie, Tuck, Piper, and Chris. I wish they were real because I would love to be friends with them! 

I’m fascinated by Hollywood and if a book is set there and features at least one celebrity character then sign me up! I loved the way the author brought to life the pros and cons of life in the spotlight, and the challenges (and the positives) that come with being a Christ-follower in Hollywood! Loved, loved, LOVED that! 

I always love the way Toni Shiloh so beautifully and organically weaves faith into her stories! 

This book was an absolute joy to read and I loved every single moment of it! 

I love everything that Toni Shiloh writes, but The Love Script is one of my very favorites of her books, and I cannot wait for the next book in the series! 

I most highly recommend The Love Script! Grab yourself a copy ASAP! You do not wanna miss this beautiful masterpiece!

Review: The Words We Lost by Nicole Deese

 

Nicole Deese has done it again! The Words We Lost is a powerful, heart-tugging story of love, friendship, loss, and healing. I loved the friendship between Ingrid, Joel, and Cece that we got to see snippets of. 

Friends-to-lovers, and second chance are two of my very favorite romance tropes, and it made me so happy that this book contains both of those! As a reader and writer myself I am a sucker for any book that features writers, books, the publishing world, etcetera! I loved that about this book and am so excited to read the next Fog Harbor Romance!

As with everything Nicole Deese writes The Words We Lost is a stunningly beautiful book that will leave you forever changed, in the best possible way! 

I highly recommend this book, just make sure you have tissues handy! 

(5 Stars!)

Review: Authentically, Izzy by Pepper Basham

 

Oh my stars! This delightful romcom felt like a cozy hug for my book loving heart! 

Pepper Basham is one of my absolute favorite authors, and if she writes it I know I’m gonna love it! I have been so excited about this book since long before it released, but just finally had a chance to get to it, and wow what a joyful journey this book took me on! 

My life story is definitely not the same as Izzy’s, but I related to her in so many ways. Her love of fictional characters, and her journey of learning to let her authentic self shine through really hit home for me and touched my heart in so many ways! 

Brodie is an amazing swoon-worthy hero who I fell head over heels in love with! I almost never picture book characters in any specific way when I’m reading, however in Brodie’s case JJ Feild circa Austenland kept coming to mind, and I’m definitely not mad about it! Hear that Mr. Feild, if you can pull off a Scottish accent then please keep your schedule open for when this book becomes a movie! BTW Hollywood, you need to get on that ASAP! 

I also loved the secondary characters, especially Luke! 

As with everything Pepper Basham writes Authentically, Izzy put a smile on my face, had me laughing out loud, and made my heart swell to the point of overflowing with joy! 

I know that epistolary novels (those told through letters, emails, etcetera) aren’t everyone’s jam, but personally they’re one of my favorite things, and I loved this one so very much! 

I ADORED every second of Authentically, Izzy! It is one of my favorite reads of 2023, and I most highly recommend it! 

P.S. the audiobook is AMAZING and one of my all time favorites! If you’re into audiobooks you need to read this one! 

P.P.S. you also need the paperback for your keeper shelf, and if you read ebooks you need that too. This is one of those stories that one needs to own in as many formats as possible!

I received a complimentary ebook copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley.

Review: The Shifting Current by Dani Pettrey

 

What an absolutely phenomenal novella! I have “shipped” Emmy and Logan since first meeting them in The Killing Tide! I’ve been waiting years to get their story, and every second of that wait was so very worth it! 

The Shifting Current is overflowing with the romance, suspense, and faith that I have come to expect from Dani Pettrey’s incredible writing! 

This thrilling story held me on the edge of my seat in suspense, kept my brain spinning trying to puzzle out the mystery, and caused my knees to melt a time or two from the sweet kisses! 

My eyes were glued to the page from start to finish, I loved every minute of this story, and was sad to say goodbye to Emmy and Logan when I turned the final page! 

The Shifting Current confirms yet again why Dani Pettrey is one of my all time favorite authors. There’s just something about her books that grabs hold of my heart and doesn’t let go! 

I absolutely adored The Shifting Current and most highly recommend it!  

The story itself stands alone so you could totally start here, but I think it would be even more meaningful to read the series in order if you can. But in whatever order you choose, please read this series! You won’t wanna miss a moment with the amazing Coastal Guardians team! 

(5 Stars!)

Review: Blind Trust by Natalie Walters

 

5 Stars!

Wow, what an amazing conclusion to the SNAP Agency series! I have ‘shipped’ Lyla and Garcia since the very beginning of the series so I was beyond excited to read their story, and  I loved it so much! Lyla is such a fun character, I love her spunkiness (or moxie as Garcia says!) 

Nicolás Garcia is such an amazing guy! I love me a strong, tender, quiet, thoughtful, and unswervingly loyal hero, and if he happens to be an expert in EOD even better! (for those not in the know that stands for explosive ordnance disposal aka the people who defuse bombs)

Nic and Lyla’s romance is a very slow burn, and I loved watching them realize they had feelings for each other that went beyond friendship! 

I loved the faith story in this book, it was woven in so authentically and just beautifully done! 

I absolutely adore the SNAP Agency team! They are such a delight, and just SO much fun, they always make me smile, and I wish I could spend a day hanging out with them in the fulcrum. In fact I wish I had my very own Kekoa to throw me handfuls of chocolate when I’m upset and wrap me in breath-stealing hugs when I’m having a bad day! *sigh*

One of my favorite TV shows is NCIS: Los Angeles, and the SNAP team gives me major NCIS: LA vibes! The ensemble cast of quirky characters, the witty banter, the suspenseful action, the international intrigue, the team of friends that are more like family! If you like NCIS: LA you’re gonna LOVE the SNAP Agency series! 

I absolutely loved every minute I spent reading Blind Trust, and I most highly recommend it! My only complaint is that it ended too soon, I was so sad to say goodbye to these beloved characters! I could totally read a new book about these characters every year! Seriously, this series could continue on forever, and I’D NEVER GET TIRED OF READING ABOUT THIS TEAM!!!!!

If you haven’t read this series yet then what have you been doing with your life?! The novels themselves stand alone, but I would say make sure you read Initium, the prequel novella BEFORE Blind Trust, otherwise Blind Trust will spoil the novella for you! But Initium is a super quick read and it is FANTASTIC! 

The point is: READ THIS SERIES! You can thank me later!
