I'll Be Home

 

I'll Be Home JustRead Blog Tour

Welcome to the Blog Tour for I'll Be Home by Sara Davison, Darlene L. Turner, Helena Smrcek, and Melanie Stevenson, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

I'll Be Home

Title: I'll Be Home
Authors:
Sara Davison, Darlene L. Turner, Helena Smrcek, & Melanie Stevenson
Publisher:
Independent (Fab Four Press)
Release Date:
October 29, 2024
Genre:
Contemporary Christmas anthology

With chaos and confusion all around them, can they find their way home this Christmas? 

The people in these four stories are all searching for something—an escaped convict, a job promotion from a love interest, connection to a lost parent, answers across time. 

Christmas should be a time of wonder and celebration, but the obstacles each faces seem insurmountable. Even, at times, life-threatening. 

Perhaps they will find what they are seeking during this season of miracles and hope. Or maybe, with God’s help, they will discover that the longing of their hearts takes them to places—and people—they didn’t even know they’d been searching for.  

I’ll Be Home is a collection of four stories of faith, hope, love, (and trains) that will warm your heart, encourage your soul, and draw you home this Christmas.  

My thoughts: I loved this variety of stories for the upcoming holidays! I loved that the only theme they really followed was to be centered around Christmas and being good, clean reads. The first story starts off with a suspenseful twists, then there is a historical story with a dual time, a chance encounter, and finally an Anne of Green Gables style story. I can be more of a mood reader, so this is the perfect collection for me, since it touched on several of my favorite genres. This is a great collection of Christmas reads to pick up and enjoy this time of year! (though, I would also read them in the summer time, since I love Christmas in July!)

I received this book from Just Read. This is my honest review.

Kristen

 


One cookbook connects them all...
Kristen ~ Book Nine in a string of heartfelt inspirational stories, featuring different women throughout the decades from 1920 to 2020.

Kristen Borstad has always taken the scenic route through life. It’s 2002; fresh out of university with a master's degree in English literature, she returns to the cozy ambiance of the local bookshop she's worked at throughout college.

When the bookshop's owner presents Kristen with an opportunity to take charge for a few months, she accepts. As she delves into the daily responsibilities, Kristen begins to discover her passion for the job.

Amidst the book-lined shelves, Kristen hires an employee who ignites a flame within her heart. As their friendship blossoms, Kristen grapples with conflicting emotions, unsure if the love she's found is just a delightful distraction or a signpost pointing her toward the future she truly desires.

Will Kristen realize that her dreams have been waiting for her right in front of her eyes? Or will she continue her quest for fulfillment, forever searching for what might already be within her grasp?

Join Kristen on a tender and uplifting journey as she navigates the crossroads of life, faith, and love. In this heartwarming tale, discover the extraordinary potential that lies within embracing the present and opening one's heart to the unanticipated blessings of life's sweetest surprises.


My thoughts: Kristen is at a cross roads in her life, with having graduated and trying to figure out where she wants to go from there. I love how doors open for her to find out some things about herself and discover where her talents lie. While the romance could have used a little bit more fleshing out, I appreciated the focus of her journey being Christ centered and even Josh's approach to their relationship. This is a delightful story! I look forward to reading more of the books in the series, since I love that they span so many different decades.

Fiance Finale

 

Fiancé Finale JustRead Takeover + Review Blitz

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for Fiancé Finale by Angela Ruth Strong hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Fiancé Finale Title: Fiancé Finale 
Series: Love Off Script #3 
Author: Angela Ruth Strong 
Publisher: Kregel Publications 
Release Date: October 22, 2024 
Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance 

Charlie Newberg is sure about one thing: Nicole Lemaire is the woman God wants him to marry. There's a slight problem, though—he's already left her once. The day before their wedding. To make a documentary. 

But he's got a plan. The marketing firm she works for is the ideal choice for promoting his new film. Collaborating will give him the perfect chance to propose again, so he conspires with her boss to make sure she runs the campaign for the same kind of documentary Charlie left her—basically at the altar—for. 

Despite Nicole's resistance, the two work well together. But Charlie's going to need more than teamwork to convince the jilted bride to give him a second chance. In fact, he might need to fall in love in a way he's never really understood.

My thoughts: I've enjoyed this series and have been looking forward to seeing how Nicole and Charlie's story was going to work out, since it seemed like an impossible situation. After Charlie leaves to film a documentary instead of sticking around to say "I do", Nicole has thrown herself into work and moving on with her life. When a second engagement ends, Charlie takes that as God's answer to his prayers about getting back together with Nicole. I thought that the author did a good job of exploring some difficult themes, with a broken engagement, learning to work together, how to handle what you think is an answer to prayers (and how to not handle it!), and dealing with difficult choices. I appreciate the changes Charlie makes in the lives of others with his documentaries, though he doesn't always handle balancing it with relationships. This is a wonderful story about flawed characters who have a beautiful story. I highly recommend picking this book up after reading the first and second books in the series, since they do tie together.

Guarding Truth

 


The truth might destroy them both…

The one thing that Former Army Ranger turned elite bodyguard Juliette Montgomery regrets is never telling fellow solider Caleb Styles her true feelings. But how could she? They were co-workers, and then the guy went and saved her life. And that turned out to be the one thing that cost them their relationship.

So Juliette has moved on, trying to forget Caleb—and her feelings.

Caleb hasn’t forgotten her either. But he has no idea she now lives in Savannah, Georgia…especially since his life is full as guardian of his niece, Ivy, after her parents were killed.

And then he discovers that his brilliant niece’s computer skills have attracted a notorious hacker group. More, when Ivy tracks the hackers, she endangers Caleb's cyber-security company.

Enter his need for the Elite Guardians.

The last—very last—person Juliette thought she’d see again is Caleb Styles, let alone be assigned to protect him. And now, suddenly, the very last thing she needs is to let her heart take over. She must protect them both—which means ignoring…or trying to ignore—the attraction between them.

Caleb never understood why Juliette walked away from him…but he can’t deny that his feelings for her never died. Except maybe she doesn’t share those feelings because her only goal seems to be protecting Ivy. And, it’s probably for the best.

After all, they need all their wits about them to find the hackers and unravel their plans.

And then they discover the hackers’ true intent—and it becomes a race against time. But it too late to protect their hearts from the truth?

An electrifying blend of suspense, chemistry, and unbreakable bonds, this romantic thriller is a must-read for fans of the Elite Guardian series.

My thoughts: I have enjoyed many of the previous Elite Guardian stories, so I was thrilled to read this one! I enjoyed getting to know Jules and Caleb, with their past coming up when the present brings them together again. I thought that the authors did a wonderful job of writing some twists into the mystery, which kept me on my toes! I thought that some of the different elements with the cyber crimes and other jobs was unique and interesting to explore. This is a great, cozy mystery to start as the days grow colder, since it is hard to put down!  I received this book from Just Read. This is my honest review.

Waterfall

 

A dead body, a flood, and a boy’s rescue. Can Annalisa Carabelle keep the boy safe while racing to discover a killer before it's too late?

All Annalisa Carabelle wants is a successful summer season for the bed-and-breakfast she co-owns. She never expected the flood, the boy who needed rescuing, or the man who came from nowhere to help. The dead body? Well, the wound to the head proved it had nothing to do with do with the deluge.

Richard Jordan’s plans for the summer include as much scrambling up waterfalls as possible. He needs the adrenaline rush because life has proven routine, even pointless. But both the woman and the boy called him a hero, and maybe the dead body is a wake-up call. Life might be worth living if he and this intriguing woman can find the killer and make sure he doesn’t kill again.

But they’ve got too many suspects, and even the police are baffled. With the family protecting the killer, he might just get away for good, unless they force his hand—and stay alive while they are doing it.

My thoughts: When they save a young boy from nearly drowning, Richard and Annalisa are thrown together and team up to uncover the elements that don't add up. I loved the strong element of faith in this story! I also enjoyed getting to know the characters, as they tried to work through the mystery, as well as their different views on faith and God. I thought that the author did a great job with the pacing and suspense. I look forward to reading more of Linda K. Rodante's mysteries!

Return of the Son

 

Return to the Son JustRead Blog Tour

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Return of the Son by D.M. Griffin, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Return of the Son

Title: Return of the Son Series: The Encounter #4 Author: D.M. Griffin Publisher: Independently published Release Date: October 10, 2024 Genre: Biblical Fiction

Her life was perfect. At least her childhood was. Eve never wanted anything except her father's presence. As a prominent advisor to the evil King Herod, Eve's father was split between his duties to the king and his duties as the only living parent for his daughter. With no heir to claim his family's land, Eve's father did what any loving father would do. He arranged for her betrothal. But this wasn't just any betrothal. Her potential husband was related to the king she despised. With a rough marital journey ahead of her, she tenuously clings to the promises of God. Not sharing her father's enthusiasm or respect for the Herodian dynasty, Eve acted like the spoiled child she was upon first meeting her betrothed. With faulty expectations and prejudiced opinions, she did what she would to ruin the marriage before it began. It wasn't until it was almost too late that Eve's eyes were open and she saw the opportunity to experience love for the divine intervention that it was. Fraught with political intrigue and personal challenges, would Eve be able to fully surrender to the life God wanted her to live by loving a man she thought she could never love? When that man's shadows chase the family into the future, would Eve's son pay the ultimate price? Or would God intervene there too? Could He? Only a single, unforeseen encounter could answer Eve's impossible question. Does love truly conquer death?

My thoughts: This is the first book I have read by D.M. Griffin, and it won't be the last! She did a wonderful job of weaving together Biblical history and fiction. I enjoyed learning more about the Herodian dynasty and the time period. 
I could relate a bit to Eve, with her idyllic childhood and resistance to change. She wasn't always a likeable character, when she finds out her father is upending her world with an arranged marriage and she sets out to sabotage it. I loved reading about her change of heart as she got to know her betrothed. 
This is a wonderful, well written story. I look forward to reading more books by D.M. Griffin!

70 North

 

70 North JustRead Takeover + Review Blitz

Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for 70 North by Kimberley Woodhouse hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

70 North Title: 70 North 
Series: Alaskan Cyber Hunters #3 
Author: Kimberley Woodhouse 
Publisher: Kregel Publications 
Release Date: October 15, 2024 
Genre: Christian Mystery & Suspense

The Cyber Solutions team has managed to stay one step ahead of the madman who has killed so many. From the original 26 Below cyberattack in Fairbanks to the 8 DOWN serial murders in Anchorage and beyond, they matched wits with the killer and stopped him from reaching his ultimate goals.

But final judgment is coming. And this time, there may be no defeating him. 

David "Mac" McPherson has a personal stake in making sure this predator stays down for good. His family died in the cyberattack. Mac knows that God says "vengeance is mine"—but surely an exception can be made. 

Surgeon Tracie Hunter is determined to stay sober and keep saving lives in Fairbanks, Alaska—even if it means being a little obsessive. After all, that same kind of determination is how she kept Mac alive after the murderer targeted him. And she won't let Mac run himself into the grave looking for payback; he's come to mean too much to her. 

Then someone hacks into the system at Tracie's previous job as a medical examiner and frames her in a murder cover-up. There's no one else skilled enough to create a digital trail this incriminating—the killer is back in action, exploiting cybersecurity weaknesses to destroy lives. Can Mac stay focused and stop the next attack when his own vulnerability is exposed? Or will his need to make someone pay for his pain allow the maniac to pull ahead and win at last?

My thoughts: I've really enjoyed this series and the variety of mysteries that have been a part of the journey. 70 North is a wonderful conclusion to the series, bringing in some of the characters from previous books and wrapping everything up as the story draws to a close. I recommend reading this series in order, since there is an ongoing mystery through them. 
I really enjoyed getting to know Tracie and Mac as they worked together to figure out what was going on with Mac being targeted by a murderer and then Tracie being accused of covering up a murder. There is a lot going on in this story, and I appreciated the fast pace of it! This is a wonderful series to pick up and enjoy.

A Weary World Rejoices

 

A Weary World Rejoices JustRead Blog +Review

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for A Weary World Rejoices by Stacy Monson, Eleanor Bertin, Johnnie Alexander, Angela D. Meyer, and Sara Davison, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

A Weary World Rejoices

Title: A Weary World Rejoices
Series:
A Mosaic Christmas Anthology VI
Authors:
Stacy Monson, Eleanor Bertin, Johnnie Alexander, Angela D. Meyer, Sara Davison
Publisher:
The Mosaic Collection, LLC
Release Date:
October 16, 2024
Genre:
Christian Christmas anthology

With nothing going as planned, will Christmas be a complete disaster this year?

The people in these stories are tired, weighed down by the struggles and cares of life. In the midst of their challenging situations, each receives an unexpected letter.  

The Christmas Kiss – Stacy Monson
Unremarkable Sue
– Eleanor Bertin
Love, Christmas
– Johnnie Alexander
Gifting Christmas
– Angela D. Meyer
The Back Door Christmas Tour Company
– Sara Davison 

Songs like "O Holy Night"are filling the airwaves and promising hope for a weary world, but what will it take for the men and women in these stories to experience true joy this Christmas?  

A Weary World Rejoices is a collection of five stories about discovering joy in the midst of life's challenges—at Christmas and every day of the year.

My thoughts: I find it hard to summarize collections of stories like this. I loved the theme that draws these stories together, being that each of the main characters is going through a hard time during the holidays. Whether that is the loss of a loved one, opening your home/Bed and Breakfast to strangers stranded during a snow storm, searching for roots amidst disappointment, having your shop broken into, or loving on those around you. This is a wonderful collection of stories to read before the holiday season (though I can see picking it up any time of the year!). Some of the stories are tied to others written by the authors, but can be enjoyed on their own merit. 

I received this book from Just Read. This is my honest review.

Cornered

 


Prepare for three times the thrills with these nail-biting page-turners from your favorite romantic suspense authors!

In In the Dark by Lynette Eason, accountant Steph Cross is cleaning out a coworker's desk after her untimely death when she finds cryptic notes that lead her to believe her friend's car accident was no accident at all. Detective Tate Cooper is determined to help her crack the case before someone else gets hurt. But can he protect the woman who has so quickly laid claim to his heart?

In Downfall by Lynn H. Blackburn, chef Cassie Quinn gets an offer she can't refuse: to fill in as chef at an exclusive mountain resort. But when the kitchen is destroyed and it becomes clear Cassie is in danger, she's forced to accept the help of her ex-boyfriend, Detective Donovan Bledsoe, to find the culprit and keep her safe.

In Perilous Obsession by Natalie Walters, teacher Lahela Young becomes the target of someone with a twisted obsession of righting a wrong. The first person she turns to is her good friend Briggs Turner. Briggs may have left his career as a police officer, but he still has the instinct to protect—especially for Lahela.

I enjoyed these three novellas! While I like stories that are longer, as a general rule, I thought that each of the authors did a fabulous job of keeping the suspense and energy going with these stories! I loved getting to know the characters and trying to figure out who is behind each of the mysteries. I liked how this book had a variety, from the sudden (and suspicious) death of a co-worker, to vandalism and secrets, to someone's unhealthy obsession. This is the perfect collection of mysteries to pick up and enjoy as the weather turns cold! I received a copy of this book from the publisher. This is my honest review.
