New Release - Orchard of Hope - Ann Gabhart

Dear Readers,

When I say this release is new, I am using that term loosely.  It is not a a new book, but the series is getting a fresh new look.  The first book, Scent of Lilacs, re-released a few short months ago.  Orchard of Hope continues the story of Jocie and her not so conventional family.  Things seems to have settled down and even Jocie's aunt is getting easier to get along with, that is until a black family moves into their little community.

Set during the turbulent 60's the Heart of Hollyhill series brings us many of the issues that families were dealing with.  Whether it was the war, women's rights or even the whole hippy scene, they were things all happening in our country at that time.  This series gives us all a chance to be part of what it was like growing up at that time.  It is a unique look at the 60's through the eyes of a 14 year old.

I read this series many years ago when it first was released and was so bummed when it went out of print.  If you have not read this series, take the time it is so well written, but also know if you can't get you hands on a used copy of book three you will have to wait until it releases in 2014.

Happy Reading

Julie Cantrell

Dear Readers,

**If you have not read Into the Free by Julie Cantrell, you will want to read that first.  This review will contain spoilers if you haven't read that one.

I am going to first say when I heard that Julie had continued Millie's story in a second book, I was a bit disappointed as I didn't feel there was a reason to.  I was so very wrong, this was a beautiful continuation of the story.  

When Mountains Move picks up the storyline 6 weeks after the event in the church steeple.  Millie has agreed to marry Bump and that day is what starts this story.  A beautiful day that starts their life together in a wonderful way and with several happy surprises.  

Colorado is waiting and Millie and Bump head to their new ranch with all the hopes and dreams of a new couple ready to take on the world.  Now, Millie has a bit of baggage that is going with her, as we all know, and she has to decide what to do with it, tell Bump or keep it a secret.  She decides he doesn't need to know as she is afraid that he will not love her any more and her dream of a real family will disappear with him. 

Once again you will find yourself cheering for Millie as she deals with what life hands her.  Sometimes it is a wonderful thing, like a new friend, and sometimes it is something not as beautiful. I am not going to share it here as it gives some of the storyline away.  But this is a story of forgiveness, but also one of trust.  Trusting herself, trusting Bump, trusting God.  

Julie's writing style draws you into the story so very quickly.  I can't wait to  read what she comes up with next.  I read this one while on vacation in about 24 hours.  I started late on Saturday night and finished Monday morning.  I didn't want it to end and yet I couldn't lay it down.  If you have read the first one, you will want to read this one and once again disappear into Millie's story.

Happy Reading.

New Release - Dark Justice - Brandilyn Collins

Dear Readers,

Brandilyn Collins was one of the first authors I read in the Christian market who could give me the creeps while reading her books.  For a little while she had not been writing, but a couple years ago she came back on the scene with some great stand alones.  I am enjoying reading her again.

Dark Justice is her newest to release and this one seems to run right along the lines of the other.  If you like thillers this one is a good one for that.  Hannah and her mother stop and help a man that was hurt in a car accident.  While waiting for the police, the man whispers in her ear and suddenly everyone want to kow what he said to her.

Hiding herself is one thing, but hiding her mother who suffers from Dementia is harder.  How do you explain that it is not safe to return home because their is a killer on their trail.

Fast paced, breath taking and one that makes you wonder if you would survive if the same thing happened to you.  I don't know that if I had to go on the run if I would live long enough to survive to get help.

Happy Reading

New Release - Derailed - Neta & Dave Jackson

Dear Readers,

I first read Neta Jackson's work when the Yada Yada Prayer group released many years ago.  (The whole series is getting a facelift the coming year or so)  I loved her style of writing and she was one of the few authors I read that made me want to move to a big city.

Along with her husband Dave, Neta has started a new series earlier this year, Windy City Neighbors.  Each book a story to its self, but familiar characters will have parts of the books and each book highlights a neighborhood in Chicago.  Book #1 is Grounded which released in April of this year and just a few short weeks ago the second book Derailed was also released.

One of the beloved characters from past series Harry Bentley is back.  He is called back to duty and soon finds himself involved in strange case.  That is not the only way his life is changing, now his son wants to move in.  What is God going to ask of him next?

I am somewhat familiar with Chicago, and reading these books is like strolling down the streets of a unique neighborhood.  One that is not well known to those that don't live there, but once you close you covers of the book, will be a place you want to visit and find the hope.

Happy Reading

New Release - Raw Edges - Sandra D. Bricker

Dear Readers,

I don't know if you have been reading the Quilts of Love series, but there have been some really interesting reads in the series.  To call it a series is probably not completely correct as each book is a complete stand along and unique to each author.  They have spanned America's history and how the quilt has played a major part in our history and how it still does.

Raw Edges is Sandra D. Bricker's contribution to the series.  This one is a contemporary tale about a husband, Greyson, grieving the loss of a beloved wife to cancer.  He can't help his 9 year old daughter in her grief because he ca'tn get past his.

Annabelle is a cancer survivior working on the memory quilt for the OVAcome support, she is able to reach out to Sadie to help her overcome the loss of her mother.

Each of these stories has a quilt tied to it and each has a wonderful story line that shows us how we are all connected even when we are all so very different.  Whether the book is a historical story or a contemporary tale, they all have a storyline that will tell you something about this country we live in.

Happy Reading.

I, Saul - Jerry Jenkins with James MacDonald

Dear Readers,

I really did not expect to like I, Saul by Jerry Jenkins and James MacDonald nearly as much as I did.  I forgot what a great story teller that Jerry is.  He has written several novels including the Left Behind series with Tim LaHaye.  In fact most people know him from that series, but know this is not a “Left Behind” book.  

What if we would find a manuscript written in Paul’s own hand about his life as a child leading to when he is an adult?  That is what the idea is behind this book.  It is a completely fictional story of Paul’s writing and even his stay in prison before his execution.  History isn’t completely sure of how he died, but there is much agreement that he was beheaded after a lengthy stay in prison.  After saying that, it is still a very compelling part of the book. 

The modern part of the story is what if the manuscript was stolen before anyone got a chance to know what they had found.  Dr. Augie Knox is going about his life at Arlington Theological Seminary. He is looking to marry the love of his life and continue on in a life that was chosen for him by his name and who his father was.   He receives a call from a long time friend in Greece that the friend’s life is in danger and he need Augie’s help as soon as possible.

I don’t want to go into too many details as the adventure/mystery part of the story is also a fun read.  I kept thinking the historical part was the best part and then I would start reading the contemporary side of the story and start thinking that was the best part.  So you can see that I was engaged in the story and wanted to find out what was going to happen next.

I think part of what I like the most about Augie and his friends was they were completely normal when they were on the run.  They didn’t suddenly turn into super spies.  They didn’t own all kinds of spy gadgets or drive the perfect cars.  They made some good choices and bad choices as they tried to stay one step ahead of the bad guys.  It made the story much more believable. 

It also gave me a good peek into what Saul’s life might have been liked as he was growing up.  It is a small snap shot of what may have caused him to be such a tormentor of the new Christians of his time.  The story will continue in I, Paul in 2014.  I was wondering how they were going to keep this story going, but it sets up very well to the next book and I look forward to a chance to read it.

Happy Reading

New Release - Letters from Ruby - Adam Thomas

Dear Readers,

Adam Thomas is an ordained Episcopal priest, I would not expect to find a fiction book written by him.  But by his own admission he could not be a priest without being a writer and he could not write without being a priest.  That is one thing about Abingdon Press, they are looking for fiction writers that might be missed by other publishers, usually with a good results.

Letters from Ruby is Adam's first fiction book and is the story of a Rev Calvin Harper is newly ordained and headed to his first parish.  He is not sure how to proceed and Ruby Redding decides to take him under her wing and teach him everything she knows.

This book is a mixture of narrative and letters written from Ruby.  It blends well together and keep the story moving along.  Ruby's words are not only meant for Calvin, but are words that should also ring true to us all.  It is a sweet story of how we at any age can teach or learn from each other.

Happy Reading

New Release - The Shadow Lamp - Stephen Lawhead

Dear Readers,

I have been reading Stephen Lawhead's books for almost as long I as I can remember.  They are not all my favorite, but I have always enjoyed them.  They range from historical to straight Sci-fi, which is what this lastest series has been.  Starting with the Skin Map in 2010, the Bright Empire series has taken readers on a wild adventure, with the latest installment being, The Shadow Lamp.  I don't know if this is the conclusion to the series, but it sure has been a wild ride spanning centuries and worlds.

The Seekers have gathered at Mia's 16th century coffee house.  They are regrouping and trying to find a way back to the Spirit Well.  Meanwhile the Zetetic Society has made a secret that could rock the foundation of Creation.

I know Stephen's books are not for everyone, but if you are a reader of Fantasy/Spec fiction, then Stephen should be on your must read list.  He weaves stories together that leave you wonder where he is going with the story line and you have to wait until the next book in the series.  They are always worth the wait, but it is hard.

Happy Reading

New Releases Sept. 9-14

New Release - Every Waking Moment - Chris Fabry

Dear Readers,

I love love love Chris Fabry's fiction books.  They are just wonderful stories that unfold in a manner that makes them something you never want to put down and you can even a bit sad that the books are done.  I feel in love with his first book Dogwood.  It had a twist in it I just didn't see coming and the greatest thing is he doesn't find it necessary to put that twist in every one of his books.  Some authors find something that works and then put it in every book, Chris doesn't.  Each one of his books is a bit different and yet his voice comes through loud and clear.

If you haven't read one yet, his newest offering is Every Waking Moment is a great place to start.  Trecha Langsam work with elderly people and has a gift for bringing dementia patients back to life even if only for a short time.  It gives families a chance to visit once again with their loved ones.

Chris' stories have extraordinary characters, beautiful settings and storylines that make you want to sit a-spell and only get up once you have closed the last page.

Happy Reading

Randy Singer

Dear Readers,

 

There is nothing like reading a good lawyer mystery.  It engages the brain, it shows you a little behind the scenes of what being a lawyer is all about and it might even make you a little glad that our system does work, even if only in fiction.   Dead Lawyers tell No Tales is Randy Singer’s latest release.  Randy himself is a veteran trial lawyer and he uses his knowledge to make sure he gets the details right about the court cases. 

 

Landon has just finished his court sentence for point-shaving in a couple of games during his college career, he found Christ while in prison and is now determined to live a life reflective of that.  He finishes law school and with a little help from Harry McNaughten gets a job as a trial lawyer and gets to work.  Harry takes on a high profile case and that seems to be what gets him killed.  When two other lawyers end up dead, Landon knows there is more going on than first meets the eye.  Is Landon’s client actually the killer or is someone trying to frame him?

 

Like I said, there is nothing like a good lawyer novel.  I have read some pretty bad ones, but thankfully this was not one of them.  I liked putting all the threads together and trying to figure out what was going on.  Randy is very good at throwing out a couple of false leads and smoke screens to get you looking in the wrong direction, but that is what makes the book much more interesting.  So those last few hot fall evenings, this is the perfect book to enjoy while outside.

 

Happy Reading

New Release - Stranded - Dani Pettrey

Dear Readers,

Dani Pettrey stepped into the competitive market of the romantic suspense genre.  It is one of the most popular genres in the Christian market; it might even only be second to historical romance.  I have done very little research on this matter; I am only basing it on what I get asked the most for.  So I guess don't quote me on this as it is not really fact.

Anyways, Dani's first book came out just last year, Submerged, followed by Shattered, and the awaited third book Stranded is here.  Once again we get to take a vacation to Alaska, of course this vacation include a bit of murder and mayhem, but what is a vacation without a little excitement?

Darcy returns to Alaska to help a friend uncover a big story.  When that friend is missing, Darcy decides to go undercover on the cruise ship and try to dig up the story and to find out what happened to her friend.  Gage is one of the guides on board the cruise ship and the last person he wants to see is Darcy, in fact he just wants to forget about her.  He finds he can't and as the danger becomes more threatening, he knows he needs to protect her.

So not only do you get a great Alaskan cruise, you get a great murder mystery.  I have enjoyed getting to know the McKenna family and as each person has become a friend it has made this series that much more enjoyable.

Happy Reading.

Colleen Coble

Dear Readers,

Rosemary Cottage is book #2 in the Hope Beach series by Colleen Coble.  I have not read Tidewater Inn, but that was not a problem in this book at all.  They are two very separate stories.  The characters of book #1 are all over book #2 so if you don’t want the ending given away I recommend that you read Tidewater first. 

Amy returns to Rosemary Cottage on Hope Beach to recover from the death of her beloved brother.  The family has vacationed on the Outer Banks for years and it is a place of happy memories even if it is the place where Ben died.  Amy believes Ben’s death was not an accident and intends to prove it. 

Curtis is making plans to adopt his niece after his sister’s death.  Little Raine is the love of his life and he will do anything to make sure that he will not lose her to her father, even if that means never telling anyone his name. 

This book was a wonderful read for a warm summer day.  It made me want to go on back to the Outer Banks and sit on the beautiful beach and enjoy the view.  Colleen weaves a pleasant love story with a lighter mystery, which makes for that perfect book for reading while sitting on a porch enjoying the sun.

Happy reading,

New Release - Trapped - Irene Hannon

Dear Readers,

Irene Hannon treated us this summer with a lovely contemporary novel that was a step away from the normal romantic suspense that she writes.  That Certain Summer was a read that was easy to enjoy while sitting and enjoying the summer.

Trapped, book #2 in the Private Justice series, is not that kind of book.  It is a fast paced chilling novel that is what we all know Irene for writing.  She has written over 35 novels and shows no sign of slowing down.

Edge of your seat, not laying the book down until the last page is finished.  Those are the type of books that Irene writes for us to read.  Enjoy her latest installment in her anti-sleeping books.

Happy Reading
