Review: Where Two Hearts Meet by Liz Johnson


5 Stars! 
I really enjoyed the first book in this series when it released earlier this year, and I must admit that Caden was my favorite character in the first book and I was so looking forward to her story! 
And I am thrilled to say that it exceeded every single one of my expectations! I loved this book even more than the first one! I really wish that Caden was real because I would love to have her as a best friend! I related to Caden in so many ways. As a curvy, single, never been kissed, twenty something woman myself this book totally and completely touched my heart, I felt like it was written just for me! I also loved how Caden listened to show tunes while she was cooking! I have read literally a few hundred Christian romance novels over the past few years and I can only recall one other where the heroine was beautifully curvy, rather than a stick figure and super model glamorous. Thank you Liz Johnson for writing a book that featured a beautiful heroine with a healthy and realistic body type, it was such an inspiration to me personally and I really think that every woman should read this book!

I cannot begin to describe how completely I was swept away into this book. I didn't think it would be possible but I think I fell even deeper in love with PEI while reading this book!
I loved every single moment of it, as evidenced by the fact that I finished it in about 24 hours! 

I loved the romance in this book, it was so awesome that while there was definitely plenty of physical attraction between Caden and Adam, that was not the main focus of their relationship, I loved that their relationship was not rushed and that they became best friends long before they fell in love and shared their first kiss, and wow, what a kiss it was! :D

Where Two Hearts Meet was just total awesomeness on so many levels, I loved every single thing about it! It's definitely one that will have a permanent spot on my keeper shelf!

Review: Another Day, Another Dali by Sandra Orchard


4 Stars!
After really enjoying the first book in this series earlier this year, I was really looking forward to this book! I was definitely not disappointed, this was an incredibly fun book that I had a blast reading! I really did love everything about it, reading this book felt just like meeting up with old friends! I'm not usually a fan of love triangles but I am pleased that this one isn't really your typical love triangle and that Serena hasn't yet declared love for either of these guys (who are both equally amazing though I have to admit I'm still Team Tanner!) I can't wait for the third (and I believe final) novel to see who Serena ends up with! Once again the mystery was very good and all the twists and turns were great! I don't want to risk giving anything away so I will just say that I loved every moment of this book and highly recommend it and the first book A Fool and His Monet, while these books can be read as standalones I would suggest reading them in order as it does enhance the reading experience and they are both so awesome I don't think you'll want to miss a moment!

Review: Wild Montana Skies by Susan May Warren


5 Stars!
Over the last three years or so I have become a hue fan of Susan May Warren's books. Needless to say I have been looking forward to this book since the moment I first heard about it! And I was most definitely not disappointed! For some reason I have long been fascinated by helicopters, so I loved that aspect of the story. I have discovered recently that I really enjoy reading second-chance love stories, and Kacey and Ben's story was so great. Kacey and Ben were both wonderful characters and it was an absolute joy to watch them overcome their past hurts and be able to move forward! I instantly fell in love with the town of Mercy Falls and can't wait to visit again in the next Montana Rescue novel! 
I don't want to risk giving anything away so I will just say that I adored every moment of this book and didn't want to see it end! I highly recommend Wild Montana Skies and I cannot wait for the next book in the series!

Review: Tangled Webs by Irene Hannon


5 Stars!
Irene Hannon was the author that introduced me to Christian romantic suspense and I have been a huge fan of her books ever since I first read Fatal Judgment four years ago! I have read every single one of her suspense books to date and loved them all!
I was really looking forward to getting to know Finn (We had only briefly met him in the first two books.) and he turned out to be every bit the awesome hero that I knew he would be! Needles to say I was eagerly anticipating Tangled Webs and I was most definitely not disappointed. 
Finn was an awesome character (And in my opinion totally swoon worthy, he just may be my favorite of the three McGregor brothers!) and so was Dana, I really admired her bravery and determination (Without spoiling anything I will just say that her back story was one of the most unique ones that I have ever seen in a book!) and I thought it was really neat that she was a book editor. I loved that the setting of this book was a fairly isolated cabin on a lake and that the story bounced between there and the center of a small town, I especially loved Hazel at the Walleye diner and Lynette, the police department office manager!
The suspense was crazy and reminded me (As if I really needed to be reminded!) of why I love Irene Hannon's books so much! I couldn't put the book down, as evidenced by the fact that I finished it in under twenty four hours!
I don't want to risk spoiling anything but I do want to say that I found it super cool how Irene kind of turned her signature climax formula on its head a bit with this one, one of the things I love most about Irene's books are the climaxes and while every one of them is equally fantastic, it was surprising and awesome to see things done a bit differently than usual! 
Overall, this book was totally awesome, one of Irene's best yet! And I loved every minute I spent reading it! This is definitely yet another Irene Hannon book that will have a permanent spot on my keeper shelf and I definitely anticipate re-reading it in the future!
I highly recommend Tangled Webs and cannot wait to read the first book in Irene's next suspense series, Code of Honor when it releases next Fall!
