Stellar debut! Highly recommend!

JenGalaxy4 Awesome characters? Check!
Moving, thoughtful, heartfelt and emotional story? Check!
A riled-up rooster and a precious little corgi? Check!

I laughed out loud so many times during the book's lighthearted moments. But, seriously, have some tissues nearby for the heartbreaking ones, because - wow.

Stone Wall | Beverly Lewis
Pickpick

As per Beverly Lewis‘ signature style, kindness radiates from each of her well-written characters. In The Stone Wall, Anna Beachy seeks the positive in everything. She continuously turns to God in prayer, putting all her trust in His will. Anna isn‘t impulsive and discerns her actions carefully. She‘s a sweet character!

I recommend this book to anyone looking for a new story set in beautiful Lancaster County!

FULL REVIEW on my blog:

I enjoyed Emma‘s positive spirit and her delight in seeing snow for the first time. West was instantly drawn to Emma and their friendship got off to a great start.

Well, except for that whole “not revealing who he really is” bit. 😉🤣

Mistaken identity is a theme that works well in these lighthearted novellas and this time was no exception.

It takes special talent to write a story that gracefully handles tough topics without making the book difficult to get through. Amanda Cox definitely has that talent. Even with the heartbreak these characters face, not once did I ever anticipate anything but hope for them. Nicely done!

I definitely recommend this book! Amanda Cox is an exciting new voice in Christian fiction!

A Mosaic of Wings | Kimberly Duffy
Pickpick

A Mosaic of Wings is a completely captivating novel! This book had so much beauty. There‘s beauty in the words, beauty in the setting, the characters. Everything is filled with beauty. Blended within the beauty, though, is sadness, inequality, assumptions and pain.

There‘s also hope. A lot of hope. And a lovely romance – one to root for!

“No problem exists that Matthew Hanger can‘t outthink.”

Hands down, the best part of this story is the dynamic between the Horsemen. Each fellah brings something special to the group. The brotherly banter and ribbing is so cute!

With fantastic supporting characters, beautiful prayers and many scripture reflections, fans of historical fiction will absolutely enjoy this book!

Or, shall I gush about the endearing and eccentric aunt and her equally endearing and eccentric group of friends?

The Porch Swing Girl | Taylor Bennett

Olive is angry. Snarky. Sarcastic. Stubborn. Sad. Olive is realistic and relatable. She‘s determined, sometimes to a fault. Olive is also generous, kind and caring.

There‘s a whisper of romance woven through the pages. It‘s sweet and innocent, based on friendship, and most importantly, God‘s will, first.

I couldn‘t put this book down! Porch Swing Girl is a refreshing and totally engaging read! Taylor Bennett has a ton of natural talent!

Never Let Go starts out with an intense prologue and eventful opening chapters, then slows down just enough to allow readers to relax, witness the character development and contemplate the clues to this cold case.

But, don't get too cozy, because the pace picks back up quickly and will have you on the edge of your seat!

The Way of the Brave | Susan May Warren

* Interesting, well-developed characters. The shining star of this story was Hamilton Jones. Ham shares his faith naturally when his friends need it most. He impressed me in every scene!

* The early chapters with overwhelming details about Denali & mountain climbing weren‘t my thing, this book picked up speed halfway through.

* Disappointing amount of sensual content. If it weren‘t for that, this would get a solid recommendation from me.

* * My review is only for the final story in this collection, Lethal Agenda. * *

I was really excited to read Derek St. John‘s story. He had this mysterious vibe to him, popping in and out of the Blue Justice series in stealth-like fashion.

Unfortunately, his story fell flat for me. ….

Without giving away spoilers, I'm impressed by the amount of research that the author went to for this novel.

The numerous descriptions of their physical appearance and attributes is very distracting to the rest of the storyline.

I did enjoy the story overall and if you're a fan of romantic suspense from a Christian world view, you will enjoy this book!

SUPER FUN BOOK!

The historical details of the 1889 Oklahoma Land Rush were really interesting to read about.

Frisco and Caroline were an absolute joy to route for as a couple!

After a surprising turn of events, and in true spirit of her character, it‘s up to Caroline save the day!

Echoes among the Stones | Jaime Jo Wright

I can‘t even begin to tell you how good this book is!

Echoes Among the Stones is a time-slip novel and the past blended so perfectly with the present, it never felt like I was reading two stories that might have a connection.

It‘s haunting and heartbreaking.

It‘s a book you simply must read.

Frankly, more books like this – stories filled with hope, light and the reminder that God loves you – need to be face-out on the shelves in the Young Adult section of bookstores and libraries.
