In reality, he has been secretly carrying out an ambitious agenda in Congress. His current mission: to thwart the reelection of Congressman Clyde Magruder, his only real enemy in the world.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Trouble begins when Luke meets Marianne Magruder, the congressman's only daughter.

I had gotten to know his brother Gray and his sister Caroline in previous books of the series. This is a very well written political series that contains intrigue, spies, spices and more. Anyways, when I started in reading this, the opening scene has to do with a dog that has fallen through the ice. I was like OH NO! I am not reading this. It took me a moment to move past this because my heart is broken or hurt when an animal is injured or in danger. I decided to take a moment to breathe and then pushed past it. I can tell you the dog is okay. The people involved are good too. </span></div><div class="a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small" style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 6px 10px !important;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">I like how Elizabeth tackled politics because I am one who stays out of it. I don't usually like to read anything to do with political but Camden writes in a way that is tolerable. Luke is a rebel of sorts who doesn't like to follow the rules like his older brother Gray. He has to do things his own way. He has one sworn enemy in town which is the congressman Clyde Magruder who is a corrupt politician. What will Luke do? Who is Marianne Magruder? She is the daughter of this horrid congressman and Luke finds himself catching feelings.....</span></div><div class="a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small" style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 6px 10px !important;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">What do you do when you have feelings for someone who belongs to a family that you can't stand? Luke finds a way to get to know the lovely Marianne despite all of the turmoil and pain. This story has one on the edge of their seat to see what will happen with all the players involved. Its a game of cat and mouse, of right and wrong. Who will win? Will Luke win the heart of the daughter? I think I will let you find out for yourself. </span></div><div class="a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small" style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: "Amazon Ember", Arial, sans-serif;

color: magenta;">I received this book free of charge in exchange for my honest review as I am on Elizabeth Camden's street team.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: magenta;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: magenta;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: magenta;"><span style="color: white;">From the back of the book:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: magenta;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: magenta;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Caroline Delacroix is at the pinnacle of Washington high society in her role as secretary to the first lady of the United States. But beneath the faade of her beauty, glamorous wardrobe, and dazzling personality, she's hiding a terrible secret. If she cannot untangle a web of foreign espionage, her brother will face execution for treason. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: magenta;"><span style="color: white;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Nathaniel Trask is the newly appointed head of the president's Secret Service team. He is immediately suspicious of Caroline despite his overwhelming attraction to her quick wit and undeniable charm. Desperate to keep the president protected, Nathaniel must battle to keep his focus fully on his job as the threat to the president rises. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: magenta;"><span style="color: white;"><br style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Amid the glamorous pageantry of Gilded Age Washington, DC, Caroline and Nathaniel will face adventure, danger, and heartbreak in a race against time that will span the continent and the depth of human emotion.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">My Thoughts on the book:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Elizabeth Camden has not let me down once since starting this new series. It has all kinds of elements of love, sabotage, mystery and danger. She truly does take her readers on a journey. This journey just happened to be through the eyes of a security personnel working in the White House protecting the president and his wife. Caroline Delacroix works in the White House as an attendant to the First Lady. This in and of itself has to be a challenging job. To be a caretaker for someone comes with a responsibility for that person. To be their eyes and ears I imagine especially with someone as important as the President's wife. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I adore the character of Caroline because in some ways, she reminds me of people I know who are strong and have responsibilities that they do not shy away from. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">I can not imagine the job that Nathaniel Trask has in this story is one of ease. He has to check out every single person which I can imagine adds some level of paranoia and loneliness. So it makes sense why. he falls for Caroline with her charm, beauty and wit but I am sure there was even a level of questioning and doubt that he could truly get to know her without thinking of some motive. Paranoia and fear can be a huge mental case for anyone. I know as a person with anxiety....I do not need more people telling me what to be afraid of. You can warn me but please don't give into fear mongering. It doesn't help my fight or flight tendencies. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars. Its a great political, historical type of story if that is your thing. Elizabeth Camden really develops characters and storylines that get you thinking. I can't wait to find out more about these characters as I </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 14px;">have</span><span style="font-size: 14px;"> to now wait for the next book to come out. Thank you for another adventure Elizabeth Camden. A fan for life. </span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">My thoughts on Elizabeth Camden:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">Elizabeth Camden is one of my favorite authors of all time. She writes from her knowledge as many years working as a librarian. You can tell she does her research in order to make the time periods seem real and she develops the characters so well that you feel like you know them. She writes from the heart and it shows from page one until the end of each and every book she pens. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Gray Delacroix has dedicated his life to building his very successful global spice empire, but it has come at a cost. Resolved to salvage his family before it spirals out of control, he returns to his ancestral home to save his brother and sister before it's too late. </span><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">As a junior botanist for the Smithsonian, Annabelle Larkin has been charged with the impossible task of gaining access to the notoriously private Delacroix plant collection. If she fails, she will be out of a job and the family farm in Kansas will go under. She has no idea that in gaining entrance to the Delacroix world, she will unwittingly step into a web of dangerous political intrigue far beyond her experience. </span><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Unable to deny her attraction to the reclusive business tycoon, Annabelle will be forced to choose between her heart and loyalty to her country. Can Gray and Annabelle find a way through the storm of scandal without destroying the family Gray is fighting to save?</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">My thoughts on the book:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">First off, I absolutely love the name Gray Delacroix. Its rings of mystery and a strong name. As soon as I read this name....I knew who should play him. I have always loved the name Annabelle, therefore, I was super excited when I read these two names. The book is full of adventure, sarcasm and intrigue from page one to the last page. I love the chemistry between Gray and Annabelle. I can't even imagine all the work that Spice Kings had to go through when trading the spices. I mean, talk about being protective of your investment. I can understand why Gray was hesitant at first. Annabelle is a spunky, sneaky woman who figures out how to spy on the Spice Trade. This had to take courage, faith and perservance. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">The book is written really well and keeps your attention. I always learn something new and this time it makes me grateful for spices in today's world. You see, I love spices and I use alot when cooking meat dishes. Spices can be a way to the heart if you know how to use them correctly. The lesson I learned most in this book is to be grateful for what you do have and to have faith that things will work out. </span></div>

This does not affect my review in any way.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;">The back of the book: </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Hattie Walker dreams of becoming a painter, while her parents want her to settle down. As a compromise, they give her two months to head to Denver and place her works in an exhibition or give up the dream forever. Her journey is derailed when a gunman attacks her stagecoach, leaving her to be rescued by a group of Arapaho . . . but she's too terrified to recognize them as friendly.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Confirmed bachelor Lieutenant Jack Hennessey has long worked with the tribe and is tasked with trying to convince them that the mission school at Fort Reno can help their children. When a message arrives about a recovered survivor, Jack heads out to take her home--and plead his case once more.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">He's stunned to run into Hattie Walker, the girl who shattered his heart--but quickly realizes he has a chance to impress her. When his plan gets tangled through translation, Jack and Hattie end up in a mess that puts her dreams in peril--and tests Jack's resolve to remain single.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;">My thoughts on Regina Jennings:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;">Regina Jennings is a talented writer and storyteller who finds inovative ways to intertwine her faith in the pages of her novels. She creates beloved characters that take you on their adventures and teach you something new about yourself. Regina loves to use expression, creativity and fun story lines to bring the worlds of her books to life. Some would say they can imagine being on the Fort Homestead with Lieutenant Jack Hennessey while others can see themselves being the lovely Hattie Walker in her stubborn ways living in a Teepee with the Arapaho Indians.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;">My thoughts on the book:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;">I found this book to be way more entertaining than the first book in the Fort Reno series by Regina Jennings but that could be because I have always had an interest in art along with wondering what it might be like to be on an Indian Reservation. So this book is a good mix of the two seeing as Hattie is an artist and currently is on the Reserve. Jack is determined to save Hattie from herself and Hattie is a fiesty girl who wants to show the world she can handle herself. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;">One of my favorite parts was when she first gets kidnapped and is refusing to eat. You find her in the TeePee with the elders of the tribe. When I was a little girl, I always thought it would be fun to go out west and spend a night in a Teepee looking out at the stars. As I get older, I am not so sure because then you are out in the elements and among the wild. I guess you can say I am not as brave as I want to say that I am. I did once pet a wild buffalo, so maybe I could be brave and try this. It would be a once in a life time experience. Buffalo Jerky is pretty good so I can see how the Indians survived. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;">I give this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: yellow;">Would you stay in a Teepee?</span><br />

<span style="background-color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan;">Dear Friends, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan;">If you have never picked up a copy of Death Before Life (My Story for His Glory) by Chakesha Shurn, I recommend it. This book will touch your heart and open your eyes to the love of a child. I recieved this book for free in exchange for my honest review. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan;">Chakesha Shurn was a member of my church in Maryland and I got to know her through activities getting a group ready for a mission trip. I never realized there was more to her than meets the eye. When you meet Chakesha (whom I call Kesha), you realize that she is a loving person who always has a kind word to say, a smile to offer and is always in worship of King Jesus. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan;">But as I read her story, I realize that there was a broken heart that has been hurt by the loss of her dear daughter Adriana who died way before her time. I am not a mom and I can never understand the pain that my friend Kesha went through but I am glad that she has gotten the courage to share her story with us. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan;">So many people have pain that they do not like to talk about, think about or even process through. Instead, they just put on a smile and a mask because it makes it easier to live life until it gets to a breaking point as Kesha talks about in her book. There were a few times that she wanted to end her life. Thank goodness she has the love of an amazing man who loved her through her hard times and the loss of her child. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan;">This book deserves a 5 out of 5 stars. It takes alot of courage, faith and loving yourself to be completely honest and transparent for the world to see. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">Good morning everyone! I just wanted to review a company that I buy my tea from. You see, I met Jacqueline Perr online in the last year and she was hosting a business online called Steeped Tea. Being a tea lover, I decided to accept her invite to check out an online party she was having. I had always heard about many benefits to different kinds of teas and that they could help with health issues such as inflammation, upset stomach, coughing and so much more. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><span style="background-color: white; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">As I listened and learned about the different kinds of tea. I really zoned in on the benefits of Peppermint Tea. I find it to be soothing if you have an upset stomach but there is so many more benefits that just that one. Check out this image for yourselves and read how Peppermint can help all kinds of aliments. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black;">I started Steeped Tea because I was home with the chicken pox 18 months ago. I had signed up for several vendor events for another company that I signed up with, but because I was contagious and not able to leave my house for 45 days. Little did I know I was going to be unable to go out for 90 days all together because I then got shingles on top of the chicken pox. I had to find a way to recoup all my money from the other events that I wasn't able to do. One night I was online just wasting time when I found this tea company that I had brought from before. I had never thought of doing tea as a business but I had to come up with money and it seemed like the perfect opportunity. So I signed up and decided to do Facebook tea ParTEAs. Within 45 days I made all my money back for my kit and even made a profit. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black;">All I can say is that this was a God send in a dark time when I wasn't sure I was going to get better at a fast rate. I love to help people and to teach them about tea. There are so many health benefits and some people have even restored their health with the help of tea along with rest, diet and exercise. I hope you will consider how you too can add tea into your lifestyle. There's teas that help one to calm down and to get some much needed rest. There is nothing like a nice hot cup of tea on a cold day or a nice summer fruit tea to share with friends and family. I hope all of you will be blessed and maybe I can help you get started. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">In early 1900s Kansas, Mercy McClain, determined to protect Teaville's children from the bullying she experienced as a child, finds fulfillment working at the local orphanage and serving on the school board. When Aaron Firebrook, the classmate who bothered her more than any other, petitions the board for a teaching position, she's dead set against him getting the job.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Aaron knows he deserves every bit of Mercy's mistrust, but he's returned to his hometown a changed man and is seeking to earn forgiveness of those he wronged. He doesn't expect Mercy to like him, but surely he can prove he now has the best interests of the children at heart.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Will resentment and old wounds hold them back, or can Mercy and Aaron put the past behind them in time to face the unexpected threats to everything they're working for?</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;">My thoughts on Melissa Jagears:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;">Melissa writes from the heart. The evidence is pen to paper. You can tell she takes time to do her research and really connects with her characters. I love how she pours faith, love and adventure into every book she writes. It might be easy to say that her books are too simple in ideas but trust me, no.....that couldn't be further from the truth. Just give yourself some time to read her stories with an open mind, ears and heart. They will move you to tears, laughter, sometimes feeling like you too wish you were the one standing up for such issues. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;">My thoughts on A Chance At Forever:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;">I was so excited to get this book in the mail because of its beautiful cover. I admit it, I am a cover snob. It has to capture my attention in some way. Alot of people would say that is because I have the soul of an artist. No talent in it unless you consider making jewelry an art. As far as painting or drawing....I am like Corey Matthew's daughter Riley on Girl Meets World. I am lucky if it turns out to be a purple cat. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;">Anyways, I have always loved the name Mercy. I was pretty excited when I found out the heroine's name was going to be that. The topic of BULLYING is such a hard one to address and it can be painful to find out the reasons behind it. I commend Melissa for taking this on. I am only on chapter four and there is so much I can talk about it. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;">Bullying has been growing ever since time started really. I mean if you think about it, it kind of started way back in the Bible with Cain and Abel. It starts with a pit of jealousy or hatred for the other person. Usually behind a bully, there is a real story of pain, loss and anger. I wouldn't say I was bullied but I definitely had my days of being made fun of....some was for my hearing impairement and why wasn't I like other kids. Other times it was my virture and being such a God follower to the point that I was made fun of among my peers in high school but I took it as a joking thing. They never did anything to me just called me Jesus Freak and the Virgin Mary because I wouldn't go out and party. These were some classmates that I thought were my friends. Since then, a few have apologized and one even became a Christian. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;">I have forgiven the people who used to make fun of me. It has taken me a long time to accept myself as Jesus sees me but now that I have. I have so much more peace. I even teach sign language on youtube, I keep living my life and keep showing people that just because someone can't hear, walks funny, talks funny or doesn't talk at all, doesn't have limbs doesn't mean they are any less of a person created by God who has a purpose for their lives even if they do not see it or own up to it. I pray this review has touched your hearts. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">In this book, it touches my heart that Aaron is seeking amends with those he has hurt. That is a huge feat because most bullies just go on their ways and never learn that they have hurt people. Mercy is a strong woman I can tell just by the way she handles herself. I also can tell that she has been hurt by Aaron. I can't wait to read more about this book. See how their relationship unfolds. I have to admit this book is MY FAVORITE so far out of the whole Teaville Moral Society Series. As always when I was reading...I was able to come up with who I could see playing Aaron and Mercy at least. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">I would give this book a 5 out of 5 stars just because it is so well written. It touches on matters of the heart and what is really going on in a bullies head as well as the victims of the bullying. I highly recommend people check out Melissa Jagears and her Teaville Series. You WON'T BE SORRY. </span></span><br />

Unlucky in love, she is content to live alone, until a tragic accident leaves her the guardian of her eight-year-old niece, Emma and co-owner of Morgan Stables in Wyoming. With no experience in raising children or caring for horses, Charlotte knows one thing. She desperately needs help.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">After losing his wife to cancer, Trevor Morgan’s faith is shattered.

Can they learn to put their differences aside for Emma’s sake and the future of Morgan Stables?</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Get this sweet, stand-alone, love story in the Whispers in Wyoming series about faith, heritage and healing after loss.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;">My thoughts on Rachel Skatvold:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;">Rachel Skatvold is an amazing writer who really truly writes from her heart. I feel as though sometimes you are looking at her soul when you read her stories. She writes with such honesty and truth. Rachel always seems to have a kind word and a smile for you when you just need to talk or ask for prayer. Her faith spills out onto the pages but in a more able to swallow way than just jamming down someone's throat. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;">My thoughts on the book:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;">What girl doesn't love horses? Cowboys? Romance? If you are into those kinds of elements, this book is a must read. Fans of Heartland or Wildfire would eat this book up almost like its candy. I completely came to fall in love with the character of Trevor Morgan because he is such a sweetheart and protective under his tough exterior. Charlotte finds it hard to even know how to take care of a child let alone her neice. This book serves up adventure, romance and fun times as you dive in with Charlotte, Emma and Trevor. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;">I rate this book a 5 star out of 5 stars! Its such a cute little read and really does just kinda make your heart smile. </span></span><br />

However, this DOES NOT influence my rating or review in any way. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">From the back of the book:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Louisa Bell never wanted to be a dance-hall singer, but dire circumstances force her hand. With a little help from her brother in the cavalry, she's able to make ends meet, but lately he's run afoul of his commanding officer, so she undertakes a visit to straighten him out. </span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Major Daniel Adams has his hands full at Fort Reno. He can barely control his rowdy troops, much less his two adolescent daughters. If Daniel doesn't find someone respectable to guide his children, his mother-in-law insists she'll take them.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">When Louisa arrives with some reading materials, she's mistaken for the governess who never appeared. Major Adams is skeptical. She bears little resemblance to his idea of a governess--they're not supposed to be so blamed pretty--but he's left without recourse. His mother-in-law must be satisfied, which leaves him turning a blind eye to his unconventional governess's methods. Louisa's never faced so important a performance. Can she keep her act together long enough?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">My thoughts on Regina Jennings: </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">I absolutely love Regina Jennings as a writer. She takes important issues and talks about them within the confines of book pages. She creates lively characters and beloved romance scenes while incorporating faith into the story without being overbearing. Regina Jennings writes with passion from the heart. She intertwines history while making it seem like a new adventure every time. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">My thoughts on Holding The Fort:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">This book is very well written. The history and the timeline go together like a married couple. I love that she played with the idea of a dance hall singer because most people tend to only focus on the action hero which would be Daniel Adams in this case. So to do this, gives other people perspective and that you can write about any role really. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">This book is not my favorite out of the many that Regina Jennings has written but I think that is because I am not one for midwest cowboys and indians, let along forts unless I get to see them in person. Its just hard for me to imagine all that was going on in this story. I LOVE Regina's writing style and characters but the book just wasn't my cup of tea. I still rate this a 4 out of 5 though because those who love HISTORY, will eat this up like its Chocolate. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">From the back of the book:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; box-sizing: border-box; color: cyan; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-weight: 700;">Investigating a suspicious accident leads Drew on a path that points to international intrigue and ever-growing danger</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Drew Farthering arrives in idyllic Scotland for the 1935 British Open at Muirfield, hoping for a relaxing holiday with his wife, Madeline, and friend Nick. But death meets him once again when Lord Rainsby, their host at Thorburn Hall, is killed in a suspicious riding accident--only days after confiding in Drew his fears that his business partner was embezzling funds.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'amazon ember', arial, sans-serif;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thorburn Hall is filled with guests, and as Drew continues to dig, he realizes that each appears to have dark motives for wanting Rainsby out of the way. Together with Madeline and Nick, he must sort through shady business dealings, international intrigue, and family tensions to find a killer who always seems to be one step ahead.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "amazon ember" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Thoughts on Julianna Deering:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">Julianna Deering is an amazing writer who keeps you on your toes, who challenges your thinking and problem solving, who writes such developed characters that pull you into a storyline. I sometimes imagine her sitting at her computer thinking "How can I stump my readers now?" She has a heart of gold and her faith speaks for itself throughout the pages of the mysteries.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">My thoughts on Death at Thorburn Hall:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">I was happy and pleased to see that she brought Carrie and Nick back into the picture because I love when all four of them are involved in the mystery. This particular book takes place at the British Open (which is like the masters in Augusta, Georgia). I do not know about you guys but I have never really been thrilled by the sport of Golf. Julianna Deering makes the sport bearable by adding murder, intrigue and romance to the game.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">As soon as I read the character of Lord Rainsby, I had several ideas who could play him but really only one stuck seeing as he needed to be old enough and well-distingished. Julianna Deering has me stumped at this current moment seeing as I am not yet done with the book. I think out of all the Farthering series, I have only partially got one right. I don't mind but that is because I adore the characters, the romance, the adventures and just the overall fun.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">If you love mysteries and not knowing who it is....having to really think and put the pieces together....You willl LOVE Julianna Deering. She is one who doesn't disappoint.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">I just have to say I will be heart broken when the series actually ends. I hope its not for another many many years. I often wonder if she uses inspiration from Sherlock Holmes, from Agatha Christie, Castle and many other crime shows.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">I give this book a 5 out of 5 because I can tell its going to be an amazing story.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="background-color: cyan;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan;"><span style="color: magenta;">From the back of the book:</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="background-color: cyan;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan;"><span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Lucy Drake's mastery of Morse code has made her a valuable asset to the American news agencies as a telegrapher. But the sudden arrival of Sir Colin Beckwith at rival British news agency Reuters puts her hard-earned livelihood at risk. Newly arrived from London, Colin is talented, handsome, and insufferably charming. </span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Despite their rivalry, Lucy realizes Colin's connections could be just what her family needs to turn the tide of their long legal battle over the fortune they were swindled out of forty years ago. When she negotiates an unlikely alliance with him, neither of them realizes how far the web of treachery they're wading into will take them.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">My thoughts on Elizabeth Camden:</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Elizabeth Camden is an amazing writer who has written several books that I have throughly enjoyed. She writes from her heart, from the history and knowledge that she knows. She creates memorable and loveable characters who take you on adventures and make you feel as if you are walking right along with them in many of their journeries. Her elements of faith bleed through the back story and don't come across as being shoved down your throats. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">My thoughts on A Dangerous Legacy:</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I haven't finished the whole book but to the part that I have gotten is very well written, has lots of drama and makes you like certain characters more than others. I love the idea of the plan between Colin and Lucy to work together for the benefits of both parties. I absolutely loathe uncle thomas and his sneaky ways. I have always admired the way people first began to communicate in this country before telephones were made available at every turn. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">It must have been interesting to be able to evesdrop on calls and to hear other people's business. Once can only hope there wasn't inappropriate behavior if you catch my drift. Colin grated on my nerves at first but then I started to understand him better and he wasn't so bad. I feel bad for people like Colin who have served in war and deal with PTSD. I am hearing impaired and loud noises scare me from time to time but what he goes through is way different and affects alot of military people. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I have one friend who has it so badly that he has to hide in the basement with military-efficient headphones and play video games to block out the noise of the fireworks. It really can make them think they are back in the war-torn areas fighting for their lives and the lives of others. I wish people would think about that before they just go too fire-work happy. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. As always, I will leave you with who I can see playing the characters. </span></span></span></span><br />

I am a part of her street team. This however does not influence my rating.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: magenta; color: white;"><br /></span>

<span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;">I have not gotten a chance to read all of the other stories in this boxed set because I have been busy preparing to make sure my parents are all set to go to South Africa and then Nanowrimo started for me and I have been busy working on my own project. I did however get a chance to read Liwen Ho's Chasing Romance.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;">My thoughts on Liwen Ho:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;">Liwen Ho is a very talented writer who always takes you on many different kinds of adventures. She introduces you to her most beloved characters and somehow, you find yourself saying...."Oh my gosh! I just love this story." It really does plesantly surprise you once you get to the end of the short novellas. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;">Liwen Ho is such a sweetheart who makes time in her busy schedule to talk to you if you need advice or need ideas or just want to talk to a friend. She is like talking to a friend you have grown up with but always feel connected to no matter how many years go by. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;">My thoughts on Chasing Romance:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;">Honestly, I really was preplexed by the plot. At first I was cold to the idea of a single mother liking and falling in love with a rock star the age or closer to the age of her daughter. Like it really bothered me. But then as I was getting into the storyline. I was like, why not? Everyone deserves love and to be happy. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;">Am I 100% for it? Hmmmm, I am not totally sure but I do love the way Liwen talks about the perfect all day with the fall festival and how the characters of Chase and Izzy just enjoy taking in the festival together. This is something I hope to share with my future husband someday granted if getting married is in the cards for me. I have no idea. I, myself have had challenges in this realm of life but I know God knows what He is doing. </span></span><br />

I am on Virginia's street team, however this doesn't sway my opinion. I judge the book for book sake. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">From the back of the book:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;">When Blake Michaels's cover as a local cop is blown and a corrupt officer attempts to kill him, he's forced to go on the run. Under his protection is Holly Mathis, also a target for what she may know about her late husband's investigation into corruption on the police force. Blake can't complete his assignment without help from the beautiful widow, but getting close to a woman again is out of the question. Trapped inside the town limits by police barricades, Blake won't surrender the mission until he finds the source of the deadly drug ring that brought him here. But as he circles closer to his target, can he get his man—and save his woman—without sacrificing his own life?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;">My thoughts on Virginia Vaughan:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">She is such a down to earth woman whose faith rings loud and true through the pages of her books. Virginia seems to always have a smile for everyone, an encouraging word for every troubled heart and a friendship for those she holds dear. She is a talented writer. I always feel like, "Wow, there is a new layer to Virginia and her writing that I did not know." I am so honored to review this book for her. You can tell writing and creating characters as well as storylines runs in Virginia's blood. Its her passion and it shows. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">My thoughts on Mission Undercover:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">This book is the 5th book in her Rangers Under Fire series. I haven't read all the books in the series but this can be read stand alone. Virginia has a very dramatic voice to her stories and characters that command your attention from the get go. I love that. I would rather a book have me engulfed into the story line rather than feeling "Blah.....can I skip ahead?" Virginia creates loveable characters and then also ones that you hate with everything you have in you. I feel this is the way some people are about things in life or people really. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">As soon as I read Mason's character, the perfect guy came to mind. Many of you might know him as the crooked cop from Pretty Little Liars but he is none other than Detective Darren Wilden. I believe Bryce Johnson would be pretty for the part. He seems to have the role down and with such believeablity. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: cyan; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">I loved how Blake and Holly had to learn to rely on each other to get out alive. There is something about having to learn to survive that can really make you appreciate someone. This story has such action, little spots of romance that peek out throughout the pages, and alot of holding on to your seat hoping the bad guy is caught. </span></span><br />

This does not influence my review. </span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red;">From the back of the book:</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;">Wedding planner Lexi Harrington needs a manager for her inherited Wyoming ranch. Clint Romine is the perfect man for the job, but the ruggedly handsome cowboy soon presents a new dilemma—distraction. Lexi can't fall for a small-town rancher when she's planning to return to her big-city career after the holidays. Home has always been elusive for former foster kid Clint. Working alongside Lexi at Rock Step Ranch feels too cozy—and too risky. Opening up to her means revealing a secret about his past that could jeopardize everything he holds dear. This Christmas, can Clint learn to trust Lexi with the truth…and with his heart?</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;">My thoughts on Jill Kemerer:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Jill Kemerer is an amazing writer who just oozes passion, romance and faith all rolled into each of her stories. I love taking a day or three to read her books. They are short, straight to the point and your heart gets kidnapped by the characters. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Jill Kemerer really does bring the romance, joy and holidays back into the old west with her newest story. Can you imagine spending christmas out at a ranch in Wyoming? With a cowboy no less? I think my heart just might burst especially if you fell in love with the cowboy. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;">My thoughts on the book:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;">As soon as I got this book in the mail....I started to read it. The cover drew me in because its so beautiful. I once again could picture who the characters were. My sister always jokes around with me that I should become a casting director because most of the time I am spot on with who the authors had no idea who should play their characters. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: red;">This book warmed my heart like a cup of hot cocoa. I could help but want to open up and trust that Clint and Lexi would work things out and be honest with each other. I mean, I couldn't imagine how Clint was feeling----do I open up? Do I tell her the truth? Will she stay or will she leave? I mean, Lexi probably was thinking at first....I can't wait to get home to the big city. Come and lets do what needs to be done type of mentality. In the end the story got tied up with a pretty bow and I was pleasantly surprised with how lovely of a story this was. </span></span><br />

However, this does not persuade me to rate this book in any way.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: purple;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: purple;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: purple;"><span style="color: white;">From the back of the book:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: purple;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: purple;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Bear McKinley’s past refuses to let go. </span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Ten years ago, Bear gave up everything—his freedom and his reputation—for his mess of a family. But after years of distance and too many attempts at starting over, he finally has a new life doing noble work in Brazil . . . until his past catches up to him once again. Suddenly he finds himself back in Maple Valley, charged with the care of his missing brother’s children, convinced he’s out of second chances to make his life count. And yet, with every day that passes, these kids, this quirky town and the woman he never stopped missing help patch the holes in his heart. Maybe this is the fresh start he’s been longing for all along. But as his newfound hope grows, so does the mystery surrounding his brother’s activities—and when the threat reaches into the lives of those he loves, it’s clear he can’t run away this time.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Fear holds Raegan’s future captive. </span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Raegan Walker is fine. She’s happy working a slew of part-time jobs, still living in her childhood bedroom and rarely venturing from her hometown. At least, that’s what she tells everyone . . . and herself. But she can’t help wondering what might’ve happened if she hadn’t abandoned her art so many years ago—and if Bear McKinley had never left. When Bear returns and she’s commissioned for a painting that just might revive her artistic ambition all in one week, it’s time to finally reach for more than fine. But doing so means facing the fears that have held her back all this time, including admitting the secret she’s kept from Bear and her family. With her dream and her heart on the line, how much will Raegan have to risk to finally chase her happy ending?</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;">My thoughts on Melissa Tagg:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;">You want funny? what about crazy? How about completely sold out and passionate about her characters? These are just some things I would use to describe one of my favorite authors.....Melissa Tagg. She dives in with both feet and tells such stories that will have you on the edge of your seat, crying, hoping or laughing right along with the characters. I love that she always has a faith element to her stories whether or not they are smack dab in your face or more subdued and behind the scenes. Melissa Tagg writes with her HEART. It shows on every page, every story bleeds with pieces of Melissa's soul. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;">My thoughts on All This Time:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;">It took me some time to get into the book. I am no where close to finished but I wanted to go ahead and post some of my thoughts. First off, I love love love the character of Reagan Walker. She reminds me of me to some extent. She is the more artistic and creative one out of the family. From art work to changing her hair colors....Reagan goes through alot of changes. I know so many people who have anxiety about fear of being honest and truthful to the point of being crystal clear. Its hard from time to time to articulate every emotion, thought or action because if you are anything like Reagan or me....it takes a while to process what exactly is going on. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;">How many people feel like the world tells you that you are a failure if you do not have a successful job, 2.5. kids and a white picket fence? I know at times, I feel that way. I have done alot of growing and learning that God sees me as beautiful, talented and wonderfully created just the way He made me. So what if I don't have the perfect job? The family----husband and kids? The need to travel the world and be famous. God cares about Halita and her love, compassion and concern for the world right here in the here and now. That makes her successful in the eyes of a King. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;">Don't let people tell you that you can't do something or that you are a failure just because you did not choose to do it like everyone else did. We need more people who allow God to write their stories like Reagan Walker and Bear McKinley. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white;">I have always loved the character of Bear McKinley because his compassion just astounds me. He does so much for people without anything in return. I love how he was forced to come home but God uses it in the long run to teach him something. As far as love.....it is always worth the risk of putting yourself out there even if you are met with rejection. God will use that to help shape your life as you grow. </span></span><br />

This doesn't influence my rating in any way.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: cyan; color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan; color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">After Macy Grant breaks up with a man who won’t commit, she escapes heartbreak with a weekend on the seas. The last person she expects to meet and fall for is entrepreneur Jake Olsen. A believer in love at first sight, he seems perfect for her in every way … then her ex-boyfriend shows up on the cruise ship with a ring.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This 10,000-word short story is perfect for your lunch break, workout, or while you wait in line at the mall. Read it today to get into the spirit of summer any time of the year!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;">My thoughts on Liwen:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: cyan; color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Liwen Ho is such a talented writer and she pours her heart into creating such lovable characters. I admire her determination to create characters with stories of their own that tug at your heart and leave you cheering them on towards a happy </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">ending. Liwen is funny and down to earth. Seems like she always has a positive word for everyone she meets. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: cyan; font-size: 14px;">My thoughts on Waves of Wanderlust:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: cyan; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: cyan; font-size: 14px;">Cute story! One of my favorites that have made me really appreciate characters falling in love. I will say if you have never been on a cruise....that is one experience worth enduring. I went on two cruises so far in my life and I loved them so much. To me, its the way to travel as long as you don't get seasick. LOL. I love the characters of Chloe because she just wants the best for her cousin and for her to be happy as she is with Dill. I love that Liwen talks about Chloe and her cochlear implant because I, myself am hearing impaired and like to think that people with disabilities can do anything normal people can do....it just takes more time, love and patient. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: cyan; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: cyan; font-size: 14px;">I love the intentions of Jake Olsen because though it would intimidate me, I think it would be easy to breathe if guys were like this. Instead of running away scared and not committing in most cases. I love the chemistry between Macy and Jake. They make you just want to jet off and join them on adventure all while finding love out on the waves! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: cyan; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: cyan; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: cyan; font-size: 14px;">I would rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars. Its an easy read filled with love, adventure, questions and most of all fun. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">From the back of the book:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Grace Mallory is tired of running, of hiding. But when an old friend sends an after-hours telegraph transmission warning Grace that the man who has hunted her for nearly a year has discovered her location, she fears she has no choice. She can't let the villain she believes responsible for her father's death release his wrath in Harper's Station, the town that has sheltered her and blessed her with the dearest friends she's ever known.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Amos Bledsoe prefers bicycles to horses and private conversations over the telegraph wire to social gatherings with young ladies who see him as nothing more than an oddity. His telegraph companion, the mysterious </span><i style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Miss G</i><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">, listens eagerly to his ramblings every night and delights him with tales all her own. For months, their friendship--dare he believe, courtship?--has fed his hope that he has finally found the woman God intended for him. Yet when he takes the next step to meet her in person, he discovers her life is in peril, and Amos must decide if he can shed the cocoon of his quiet nature to become the hero Grace requires.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: magenta;">My thoughts on Karen Witemeyer:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">Karen Witemeyer writes from her heart and imagination. She creates such beloved characters who take you on the ride with them. You feel as if you are riding a horse right along side them or serving in the Saloon. Karen is a down to earth woman who allows her faith to remain in the story but more in a subtle way. This is my second story that I have read by Karen Witemeyer and I can tell you that she is one to watch. Could become a favorite especially for more western type stories and adventures. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">My thoughts on Heart on the Line:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I always thought it would be kind of interesting work as a wire operator especially at the turn of the century. I completely adore the cover and believe it captured the HEART of the book. I had a feeling I was going to love this book when I got to hear a small audio sample a while back. It kept me on the edge of my seat making me wonder what would happen next. This story has romance, adventure and all the elements of a mid-western book. You will find yourself rooting for Grace Mallory and all her friends. As I was reading, I could picture at least three of the characters right off the bat....my sister plays around with me and says I should be a casting director. I would rate this book a 5 our of 5 stars for the funny lines, the adventure, the romance and just in general the amazing writing talents and story telling </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">abilities. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: yellow;">From the back of the book:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Evelyn Wisely has a heart for the orphans of Teaville and works at a local mansion that rescues children out of the town's red-light district and gives them a place to live. But her desire to help isn't limited to orphans. The owner of the mansion, Nicholas Lowe, is willing to help her try to get the women working in prostitution out of the district as well--if she can gain the cooperation and support of local businessmen to go against the rest of the community. </span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">David Kingsman has recently arrived in Teaville from Kansas City to help with one of his father's companies in town. While he plans on staying only long enough to prove his business merit to his father, he's shown interest in Evelyn's work and is intrigued enough by her to lend his support to her cause.</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">They begin with the best of intentions, but soon the complications pile up and Evelyn and David's dreams look more unattainable every day. When the revelation of a long-held secret creates a seemingly insurmountable rift between them, can they trust God still has a good plan for them despite all that is stacked against them?</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">My thoughts on Melissa </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Jagears:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: 14px;">Melissa Jagears is an amazing and talented writer. Her faith is shown through out the books that she writes. She does her homework so to speak---you can tell that this is one author who researches for her plot ideas, her character names and just the story lines in general. To be a mom is challenging enough I am sure but to be a homeschooling mom to not just one kid but three and then to be a writer....I can imagine some days she wonders where all the hours of the day went. Melissa Jagears is a pro at balancing things and you can tell by the way she writes things....just enough romance, enough action, enough history that bleeds through out the pages. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: 14px;">My thoughts on the book:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: 14px;">This book was a little bit hard for me to get into. I have to remember that in order to know more about the time period, I should have done some more research. The book itself is very well written and has a lot going for it. Well made and complex characters. The cover is really cool in the aspect of the man is watching her and she turns to face him. I love the ideas that Melissa Jagears has put into the story itself. It brings a light to red light districts and how dangerous it can be for the mothers and the children. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: 14px;">I love the elements of faith in this story because as a Christian, I sometimes find it hard to trust God but in the end I know He has my life in His hands and that its better to trust Him than to try to find my own path in this world. This book has moments where you can feel your heart beat faster for Evelyn and David and then there are moments where you are like...where did that come from? </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: yellow; font-size: 14px;">I rate this book 4 stars out of 5. A Love So True by Melissa Jagears is a great read for anyone who loves historical fiction with a great romance between the lines. </span></span><br />

This did not influence my rating in any way. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;">From the back of the book:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">After a devastating heartbreak three years ago, genealogist and historical village owner Nora Bradford has decided that burying her nose in her work and her books is far safer than romance in the here and now.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Unlike Nora, former Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient John Lawson is a modern-day man, usually 100 percent focused on the present. But when he's diagnosed with an inherited condition, he's forced to dig into the secrets of his past and his adoption as an infant, enlisting Nora to help him uncover the identity of his birth mother. </span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The more time they spend together, the more this pair of opposites suspects they just might be a perfect match. However, John's already dating someone and Nora's not sure she's ready to trade her crushes on fictional heroes for the risks of a real relationship. Finding the answers they're seeking will test the limits of their identity, their faith, and their devotion to one another.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;">My thoughts on Becky Wade:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">Oh my goodness.....what can I say about Becky Wade?! First of all, she is an AMAZING and very TALENTED writer. She is hilarious and really builds stories around each character. Becky will make you laugh till your sides hurt, make you cry and feel the heartbreak with the characters, make you want to live in the cute towns she has dreamt up. Becky Wade is humble, down to earth and just all around an amazing christian influence. She shares her faith in such a way with the characters and just her sneaky way of putting in the story line. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">My thoughts on the book:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">I knew from the top of my head who was going to play John Lawson. My sweet, lovable and amazing Richard Armitage from North & South on the BBC or in Robin Hood on the BBC. He is tall, dark and extremely handsome. Then I was thinking about it and I knew who popped into my head to play Nora Bradford....which is the beautiful and talented Melissa Archer from One Life to Live. I knew these people are probably way older than Becky Wade was thinking of but they just fit perfectly in my mind. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">This book started out a bit slow for me but now that I am in the thick of it....I love the chemistry between the characters, the amazing history that Becky took time to write out. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">Speaking of Genealogy, I found out more about my own family's history and we are related to Paul Revere on my mother's side twice and my dad's side...we are related to the pastor of the pilgrims John Robinson. So I guess you can say that is a big deal. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">I also loved reading about Nora's sister Britt. She was the one who caught my attention. I can't wait to read more about her. I also knew who I picked to play Zander from the top of my mind. The actor I can see playing him is Austin Butler.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">Like Nora Bradford, I like tea.....history and once in a while finding out more about my family. This is definitely an intriguing book series so far. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">I give this book a 5 since that is the highest rating though I feel it deserves more of a 7. </span></span><br />

Marvin<span style="background-color: white; color: purple;">I received this book in exchange for an honest review and as part as being able to help Debra E. Marvin out and to drum up some interest in her books. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple;">From the back of the book:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">No ice cream sandwich is as sweet as a long-delayed sunset kiss.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Friday night’s first phone call was the answer to Teresa Scott’s career dreams. Before she can celebrate, a second call informs her of her sister’s accident and puts Teresa in ‘the driver’s seat’ of Frosty Fingers Food Truck during the Tucson Festival of Books. Determined to keep her sister’s business out of the red, Teresa hides the painful disappointment of giving up her dream.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Fellow accountant Alan Davis sticks his do-gooder nose in, hanging around to help Teresa, the woman he’s adored since forever, not knowing the coveted board position he's just accepted is the one she had to give up. </span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Nice Guy Alan isn’t really Teresa’s type, but she’s won over by his humor, adorable smile, and ice cream scooping skills. As his presence become irreplaceable, she sheds the hardened layers of her heart. Just when it’s clear she needs him in her life, Alan has to face his biggest regret and honor an old promise. Will losing this chivalrous knight in a snowman costume break Teresa’s vulnerable heart?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: purple;">My thoughts on Debra E. Marvin:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Debra Marvin is such a sweet lady who has dozens and dozens of stories to tell. She is humble, down to earth and creative. She has a outgoing personality and takes time to talk to all of her fans when they message her with encouragement or questions. I look forward to seeing more from Debra E Marvin and can't wait to read more stories. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">My thoughts on Saguaro Sunset:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">When I saw the cover of this book, I just knew that I wanted to read this. The cover is gorgeous. I used to live in Arizona and I have to admit that the desert can have an unspoken beauty about it especially when the sunsets. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">I love how creative Debra was in giving Teresa and her sister a unique job in running an ice cream truck. I have always thought it was fun to run an ice cream shop because it is my all time favorite dessert. I mean to make up funky flavors and just to see the happiness of the children, parents and families that would come in just to order some goodies. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">My heart kinda broke when Teresa had to give up her original job but I loved when she decided to make the most of it and to help her sister out. I would do that for my sister. I know in today's world not too many people look at it as a way to serve their family, to show people love. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">It took me a while to see who I could see playing the characters but I finally decided on the ones I am posting below:</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
My thoughts on Moosed Opportunities:<br />
<br />
I loved how the story continues on with the funny adventures---Mathilda, Eric and Samantha. This story reminds me that no matter the craziness we go through in life......God is still there. I am glad that I don't have a mother that is like Sam's mother especially with her match making and not wanting to believe that Eric is a good enough match for Samantha.<br />
<br />
Mathilda is still as crazy as she always was but they had such amazing adventures with the moose.<br />
<br />
I was honored to help work with Jan on this and to edit it for her. I would rate this book a five due to the funny things and living through the adventures that these characters have. I mean, almost freezing to death....Can you even imagine?<br />
<br />
Here's who I can imagine playing Sam and Eric.<br />

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;">When he becomes guardian to his friend's troubled ten-year-old boy, firefighter Drew Gannon knows he needs help. But before he can get former social worker Lauren Pierce to agree, he's got to prove he's changed from the sports jock who gave her a hard time back in high school. Returning home, Lauren wants no part of her old profession. She only wants to forget the unspeakable tragedy she left behind. She can't take responsibility for another child. Or a reunion with Drew—no matter how generous he's become. But a desperate boy and his handsome guardian may be more than Lauren can resist…</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;">Jill Kemerer is such a sweetheart of a person. She is so humble, down to earth and funny. She loves to really tell a story in her short pages of each book. Jill has a real talent for story telling, for developing plot lines and characters. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;">My heart went out to the little kid named Wyatt. I can't even begin to imagine all that he had gone through. My father was in the military for 17 years and while growing up there was times I drove my mom bananas because I missed him so much. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;">Drew Gannon being a firefighter is a really important because its not every day that people are willing to put their lives on the line for other people. I can't help but being really grateful to these people who do this without so much as a thank you. This story really touches the heart and even tugs at the strings. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: cyan;">At first, I was amazed at how cold hearted Lauren seem to be until she realized that she was needed to help Wyatt and his family. I love how this story ended and can't believe how cute I believe Lauren, Drew and Wyatt truly are. </span></span></div>

The rating is of my own opinion not influenced by the publishers or the author. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">With her penchant for seeing the best in everyone, Hope Irvine sees a world full of good people in hard places. When her father accepts a position traveling in a chapel car as an on-the-rail missionary, she is determined to join him in his efforts and put her musical skills to good use by serving the mining families of West Virginia, saving their souls, and bettering their lives.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Luke Hughes shares Hope's love of music and her love of God, but as a poor miner he knows he can offer her no future. Still, the notes she sings resonate in his heart. When she begins to travel with a young mine manager to neighboring counties, Luke can hardly suppress his jealousy. It isn't until he begins to suspect these missions of mercy might be the mine manager's cover for illegal purposes, though, that Luke feels justified in speaking up. But how can he discover the truth without hurting Hope or, worse, putting her in danger?</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: magenta;">My thoughts on Judith Miller:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">Judith Miller is a new author to me. So when I saw one of her books up this time around....I was like hey, why not give her a try. She definitely knows her stuff when it comes to history and mining in West Virginia. She seems like a sweet, down to earth woman who loves what she writes about. I don't know her very well but i would say that she seems to have a gentle spirit about herself. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">My thoughts on the book:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">First off, I just have to say wow.....very well written in terms of knowing one's history and details. Second, she loves her characters. You can tell just by reading a few pages into the book. I </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">learned a lot about West Virginia, Moonshine and Chapel Car ministries along with mining. I, of course had some favorite characters such as Hope Irvine, Luke Hughes and Nellie Hughes. I couldn't stand the horrible attitude of Alvin Selznick and Kirby was just sneaky. She wrote some very good despicable characters that just made you hate them with all you had in you. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">I love the flirting between Hope and Luke. I thought it was sweet, romantic and all around cute. I was rooting for them the whole time. In fact, its so funny because when I read this story, it seemed that the characters seemed older than 19 and 22. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">I did find it a bit hard to keep up with all the different character mentions. I would rate this book a 4 out of 5 stars for historical accuracy, love of characters and teaching readers something new. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;">From the back of the book:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">It has been six years since army nurse Jenny Bennett's heart was broken by a dashing naval officer. Now Lieutenant Ryan Gallagher has abruptly reappeared in her life at the Presidio army base but refuses to discuss the inexplicable behavior that destroyed their happiness.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Ryan is in an impossible situation. One of the few men in the world qualified to carry out a daring assignment, he accepted a government mission overseas that caused his reputation to be destroyed and broke the heart of the only woman he ever loved. Honor bound never to reveal where he had been during those six years, he can't tell Jenny the truth or it will endanger an ongoing mission and put thousands of lives at risk.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Although Ryan thinks he may have finally found a solution, he can't pull it off on his own. Loyalty to her country compels Jenny to help, but she never could have imagined the intrigue she and Ryan will have to face or the lengths to which they will have to go to succeed.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: magenta;">My thoughts on Elizabeth Camden:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: magenta;">Elizabeth Camden has such a great personality: she is sweet, has a humble heart and you can tell she loves to write from the heart and pour her life into the world of her characters. She puts elements of faith in her stories but not to the point of shoving it down someone's throat more like a gentle tug at the heartstrings. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">I was truly honored to review this book for Elizabeth Camden because she is an amazing writer and very detailed at the lives, surroundings and actions of each and every character. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">My thoughts on the book:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">I will admit that it took me some time to get into this book because I am not a huge fan of historical fiction unless it has a lot of action in it. It took a while for the story to get going but I will admit it tugs at the heartstrings and makes one tear up. The relationship of Jenny and Ryan really does go back and forth. Ryan fulfilled the duty of the government which meant betraying Jenny in terms of their relationship. This in turn makes Jenny scared and unable to trust for the longest time. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: magenta;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">In my opinion, I have no idea how anyone can be mad at Lilly. She is just so STINKING adorable but then again I am a bit </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">biased because I love asian kids. Their big eyes and expressions melt my heart. This book shows how life can be unpredictable and surprise you when you least expect it. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">I learned a lot in this book about oyster farming and pearls. I never realized how much work goes into something like that so many people take for granted. My favorite characters were as follows: Lilly, Ryan, Abigail (poor girl, she had no chance with him). </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;">I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">From the back of the book:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Didi O'Brien is engaged--at least she was an hour ago. Now she's not sosure. Her fiancé, the suave Kevin Cabot, has just revealed that he'sbeen unfaithful, and he's not the least bit sorry. Reeling from thebetrayal, with her plans for a happily-ever-after life in doubt, sheprays for direction. The answer comes as a complete surprise. God hassomeone better in mind.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Middle school teacher, Jake Montgomery, is struggling with someissues of his own. Sadly, a year previously his fiancée had been killedin a car crash. Battling anger and despair, in a mountain-topexperience, Jake wrestles with the Almighty, and is ready to live again. In his youth, he'd felt an unmistakable call to the ministry but, likethe prophet Jonah, since then, he's been running hard in the wrongdirection.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Through a crisis of faith, and glimpses of mercy, Didi and Jake find each other. But can they find the strength to resolve the manyobstacles that conspire to keep them apart?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My thoughts on Jan Elder:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Jan is a wonderful writer who tries her hardest to capture the thoughts, mindsets and moods of the characters that she writes or imagines. I have been honored to review books for Jan Elder because she is such a sweet and humble lady. You can just tell that she is truly grateful for her readers. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My thoughts on Love, Lies and Fireflies:</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I am not going to pretend or lie by saying this book grabbed my attention right away. It took some time to get into the storyline...I mean I was immediately taken into Moostletoe but this is a different book completely. It took some work on my part to read this but once I did, I was pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns. I am not completely done with this book but I have a feeling that I will love it. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Didi O'Brien.....wow.....I felt my heart torn out when she found out that her Fiancee had been unfaithful. I mean, can you believe someone you love so much would be willing to do that? I know for me, I have a hard time trusting as it is and I could not even begin to imagine the feelings and emotions that Didi was going through. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The way Jake Montgomery seems to go after Didi in a loving and caring way while helping her to move on just screams romance to me. He really does see to her needs and loves her for who she is. He scores some points in my book. I adore that he loves cats. We need more male cat lovers in the world. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;">Kevin Cabot, wow....I am not sure what to say about him other than that he is creepy, stalker and he would give me nightmares. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;">This book I would rate a 4 star review out of 5. </span></span></span><br />
