The Gentlewoman’s Apprentice

Welcome to the Blog Tour for The Gentlewoman Apprentice by Emily Opal, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: The Gentlewoman Apprentice 
Series: The Gentlewoman Series #5 
Author: Emily Opal 
Publisher: Independently Published 
Release Date: September 3, 2026 
Genre: Historical Romance

Every seam hides a secret. Every valentine reveals the truth.  

When Margaret Cooper departs the slums of East London for an apprenticeship in a quiet market town, she topples the established order—and no one feels it more than Peter Sloan, the handsome tailor forced to teach her his trade. 

Margaret is steeled to prove her worth in a man’s world and has no leisure for courtship. But when anonymous Valentines begin to arrive, each with gifts and words that pierce her heart, she feels truly known for the first time. If only she could unmask the hand that distracts her from her aspirations. 

Burdened by a failing business and an ill father, Peter has no patience for a female apprentice who upends his orderly life. Yet through a reckless wager, he finds himself sending Valentines to none other than Miss Cooper. What begins as halfhearted duty blossoms into admiration—and dangerous longing.  

My thoughts: This is the first book I have read in this series, but I found that it did just fine as a stand alone novel. I enjoyed the characters and the unique setting, with a woman working for a tailor. I like that this series focuses on the heroines being in unique fields for the ladies of that time. 

Margaret and Peter’s story is a delightful one, as what starts as a business relationship begins to turn into something else when Peter starts sending Meg anonymous valentines. This is a lovely, sweet historical romance to pick up and enjoy. I look forward to reading more books in the series!

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

The Song of Our Heart

Welcome to the Blog Tour for The Song of Our Heart by Kathy Dye, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: The Song of Our Heart: Remembering God's Faithfulness Through Every Season 
Author: Kathy Dye 
Publisher: Westbow Press 
Release Date: April 9, 2026 
Genre: Bible Study

Life doesn’t always sound like we expect. Disappointments come, relationships fracture, health fails, and dreams fade. In these moments, we need something—Someone—to be the steady song of our hearts.  

The Song of Our Heart presents a five-week Bible study journey through Psalm 71. It provides a way to discover how to make God your song through every season of life—not just the easy ones, but especially the hard ones. This isn’t about superficial positivity or pretending everything is fine. It’s about honest faith that clings to God when life is messy. Through daily readings, reflection questions, and practical application, you’ll explore what it means to find God as your refuge when you’re overwhelmed, your hope when circumstances look bleak, and your praise even when you don’t feel like singing. Each week focuses on a specific aspect of making God your song: 

Week 1: God Is Our Song 
Week 2: A Life Led by God 
Week 3: God as Our Refuge 
Week 4: God as Our Hope
Week 5: God as Our Praise 

Whether you’re in a season of joy or walking through shadows, this study will help you rediscover that God isn’t just with you—He is your song. And when He becomes your song, you’ll be able to build a legacy of faith that sings long after you’re gone. 

My thoughts: This devotional is a perfect length to add to a busy schedule, offering thought provoking scripture verses and thoughts to set or finish your day with the Lord. I love the way this devotional is written, since it’s a good one to do on your own (or in a group), since the author wrote it in such a personal way that it feels like you are doing it together. This is a delightful devotional for all walks of life. 

I received this book from JustRead. This is my honest review.

Fatal Finale

 About the book: They’d started back to the house when they heard a male voice behind them. Then a shot rang out.

“Run!” Kaely said.

When bestselling author Erin Delaney’s novel gets picked up for a movie deal, she eagerly awaits her friend Kaely Quinn-Hunter’s arrival in Tennessee before they head to California to observe the film’s production. However, when Kaely does not arrive at the scheduled time and Erin can’t reach her by phone, her concern grows.

A cryptic phone call from Kaely’s kidnapper confirms Erin’s worst fear–she has exactly six days to save her friend’s life by solving his twisted clues. The message comes with a warning: Contact the police or FBI, and Kaely dies. But Erin works for the Sanctuary Police Department, and Kaely’s husband is with the FBI, putting her in an impossible situation. As Erin races against time, she’s forced to crack the kidnapper’s chilling puzzle before it’s too late.

My thoughts: I love how Nancy Mehl wraps up Erin’s series with a bang! When she goes to California to observe  her book bring made into a movie, she plans to meet up with profiler Kaely. But, when Kaely doesn’t show up and then Wein gets word that she has less than a week to save her friend, things go from bad to worse. 

I love that we get snippets from both sides of the story, as well as little scours to who has it out for the ladies. This is a fast paced, suspenseful read to pick up. I love that it also has some thought provoking parts on faith and trusting God. This is a wonderful series to pick! I highly recommend starting with book one and reading in order, since they are just that good. 

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

A Whim and a Prayer

Until April

 

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Until April by Janet W. Ferguson, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: Until April 
Series: Coastal Hearts 
Author: Janet W. Ferguson 
Publisher: Southern Sun Press LLC 
Release Date: June 25, 2026 
Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance

Michael Galloway has always believed freedom means living life on his own terms. His career is dedicated to saving the environment and teaching others the importance of taking care of the earth, rivers, and oceans. He’s building a life with no room for complications. Especially in his love life. 

Then tragedy turns April Yancy’s world upside down. 

After her husband’s death, April discovers he’d been hiding devastating secrets, leaving her buried in debt and struggling to protect her children’s future. The last person she expects to come to her rescue is Michael—the man who shattered her heart years ago. 

Michael has few regrets, but hurting April back in grad school still haunts him. When her situation grows desperate, he devises a risky plan to help her rebuild her life…even if it means jeopardizing his carefully guarded independence. 

Accepting Michael’s shocking offer could cost April more than her pride. His resistance to her faith clashes with the convictions she holds dear, and trusting him again feels impossible. Yet as doors keep opening and her prayers keep nudging her toward him, April begins to wonder if God is offering her a second chance at more than survival. 

 An emotional second-chance love story of forgiveness, redemption, and unexpected faith.

My thoughts: I have read and enjoyed the other books in this series, so I was thrilled to read Until April! It did not disappoint. The characters are well written and become like friends by the end of the book. My heart broke for April, as she discovered not all was as she thought with her marriage and life when her husband passes. This story has a beautiful message of forgiveness and redemption. I highly recommend picking it up! 

I received this book from JustRead. This is my honest review.

Biblical Encouragement for Everyday Motherhood 

Have you ever whispered to yourself, I’ll be a better mom tomorrow…but tomorrow never comes? Maybe you’re comparing yourself to other moms and feel you aren’t measuring up. But don’t lose hope. Just as moms in Scripture learned from life’s ups and downs, with God’s help, you can become the mom you long to be.

Author Rhonda Stoppe engages you with the warmth and wisdom of a trusted friend who’s been there herself. For mothers of all ages and stages―including step, adoptive, foster, and grandmothers raising their grandkids―this uplifting look at the moms of Scripture will empower you to influence the culture in profound ways through your sacred ministry of motherhood. 

My thoughts: I have really appreciated Rhonda Stoppe’s wisdom for parenting and marriage through the years, so I was thrilled to get Moms of the Bible to review. I appreciated the blend of Biblical wisdom with stories from Rhonda’s life woven in. I loved looking at the different women in the Bible and the remind of what is truly important with raising our kids. This is a wonderful book for women in all walks and stages of life.
