Review: Lethal Cover-Up by Darlene L. Turner

5 Stars!

What an excellent romantic suspense from one of my favorite authors! I eagerly anticipate each new release from this author and Lethal Cover-Up did not disappoint! Madison and Tucker were both great main characters, I loved that they had known each other since they were kids and that their love story featured the friends to more and second chance romance tropes (two of my favorites!) One of the things I love so much about this author's books is how nonstop action packed they are (Lethal Cover-Up was no exception, I hardly had time to catch my breath before I'd be back on the edge of my seat and I loved every minute of it!) But this author also does a fabulous job of balancing the action and suspense with romance, character growth, and a wonderful faith message! This story is chock full of everything I love about the Christian romantic suspense genre, and is not to be missed! I loved Lethal Cover-Up and most highly recommend it!

I cannot wait for Darlene L. Turner's next book!

Review: Nicole by Sarah Monzon

5 Stars!

Oh my word! I adore Sarah Monzon's books! I've been loving the Sewing in SoCal series, and Nicole is my favorite one yet! I loved Nicole, I really enjoyed her in the two previous books and I knew I'd love her story, and love it I did! As a curvy girl I loved that Nicole was a curvy and confident woman, bravo Sarah! And authors: more curvy heroines, please! And Dr. Drew, oh my goodness, that man. I simply can't find the words to express how much I love him. He cracks me up with his hilarious sense of humor, and his kindness, tenderness, and selflessness totally warmed my heart, no spoilers but the visits he made to the hospital's third floor totally melted me into a puddle! I seriously adored everything about this story, loved every minute I spent reading it, and I hated for it to end! 

This hilarious romcom is delightfully perfect in every way! Nicole is one of my favorite reads of 2021 and I most highly recommend it!

Review: On the Cliffs of Foxglove Manor by Jaime Jo Wright

5 Stars! 

Wow! What a stunningly superb novel! Jaime Jo Wright is an amazing author! This is only the second book of hers I've read, but it will not be the last! I was drawn into this story from the first page and hated to stop reading! I loved the incredible writing, there were some lines that I had to stop and reread several times over in an attempt to fully absorb the sheer brilliance of the words! I also love how the author knows how to keep your eyes glued to the page, and gives the reader just the right amount of thrills and chills! I loved both the historical and contemporary couples, though I might have liked Kailey and Axel's story the tiniest bit more, largely because Jude was there, I just adored him and he totally made the story for me, as did Raymond and Maddie! I found the mystery absolutely fascinating, I had no idea there were any Civil War connections to the Great Lakes so that was super interesting to learn about. Time-slip novels are one of my very favorite things, and the way the two stories in this book intertwined was absolutely brilliant, loved it! 

On the Cliffs of Foxglove Manor is an epic story that will hold you spellbound from beginning to end! I loved this book and highly recommend it! I'm super excited to dive into The Haunting at Bonaventure Circus soon, and I'm looking forward to Jaime Jo Wright's next book!

Review: The Heart's Charge by Karen Witemeyer

5 Stars!

An absolutely amazing second book in the Hanger's Horsemen series! After reading and absolutely loving At Love's Command I was super psyched to dive into The Heart's Charge, and what a fantastic ride this story is! I loved Mark and Jonah, they are both such fantastic heroes that I simply can't choose a favorite! In my opinion the only thing better than a Karen Witemeyer written romance, is TWO Karen Witemeyer written romances in the same book! I absolutely loved that we get both Mark and Kate's, and Jonah and Eliza's love stories, it added a whole other level of amazingness to this story! And I LOVE that Ms. Witemeyer chose to feature an African-American hero and heroine, Jonah and Eliza brought to this book a beautiful diversity that, in my opinion, we need more of in Christian fiction!

Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't mention just how much I love that gorgeous cover! I could stare at it for hours, and I wish there was a way I could frame it and hang it on my wall! I've been absolutely mesmerized by this cover since the moment I first saw it, and it's one of my favorite covers of all time!

I absolutely adored everything about this book, and most highly recommend it! The Heart's Charge is a fast paced read that will take you on a thrilling ride and leave you blissfully grinning, and eagerly anticipating Preach's story!

Review: Once Upon a Summer by Andrea Boyd, Toni Shiloh, Teresa Tysinger, and Jaycee Weaver

5 Stars!

This is an absolutely delightful collection of contemporary fairytale retellings that will give you all the feels! I love all four of these authors' writing and these novellas are all so great! I so enjoyed the twists on these classic stories, and it was super fun that they were all set during summer! I loved getting to travel virtually through the different stories, especially to France in Toni Shiloh's An Ever After Summer! Once Upon a Summer is a fantastic collection and I highly recommend it! This collection would make the perfect beach or pool read, be sure to add it to your summer TBR, this is one you don't wanna miss!

Review: Glory Falls by Janine Rosche

 

5 Stars!

Oh my word, what a gorgeously written conclusion to the Madison River Romance series! I am a forever fan of Janine Rosche's books, I adore everything she writes! I was swept away and enthralled from page one of Glory Falls and I hated to put it down (I read it in about 24 hours!) Blue and Thomas were excellent main characters (I've been looking forward to reading Thomas's story since first meeting him in This Wandering Heart, and what a heart-melting hero he is, I loved him so much, and his story was everything I dreamed it would be and so much more!) I think Shane and Thomas are now tied for my favorite hero of the series (don't feel left out, Robbie, I love you too!) I am so grateful that I don't have to choose just one favorite hero! I also adored Thomas's yellow lab, Molly, she never failed to make me smile! This book brought me such joy from beginning to end, I simply couldn't contain my grin! I adored every second of this book, and there is not a single thing about Glory Falls that I didn't absolutely love, it's one of my favorite reads of 2021 and I most highly recommend the entire series! I cannot wait for this author's next book, and incidentally I just got the notification that my Netgalley request for Aspen Crossroads was approved, now comes the age old struggle, do I give in to the temptation and dive in ASAP or make myself wait until closer to release date so I'll have less time to have to wait for the one that comes after it? #booknerdproblems

Review: Lady Wynwood's Spies1: Archer by Camille Elliot

A great, fantastically unique novel! This is the first book by Camille Elliot that I've read and I enjoyed this take on regency London. I really liked Phoebe and I could relate to her quite a lot as I too am tall for a woman, and I am an archer (though I am much less skilled than Phoebe and I only do target practice for fun, I don't compete like she does) and I loved seeing her rise to the occasion and help people in ways she wouldn't previously have thought possible. There were a lot of characters in this book and I sometimes had trouble keeping them all straight in my mind. There were lots of exciting parts in this story but overall it didn't hold my interest throughout the way I'd hoped for. I've never read a serial novel before so I don't know what is normal for the development of a romantic relationship in this type of story, but I was a bit disappointed there wasn't more romance between Phoebe and Michael in this story, though I do realize their relationship will likely develop further in future books. 

Overall, I'm glad I read this super unique and original regency story and I definitely recommend it!
