Review of The Blooming of Delphinium by Holly Varni

This is the 2nd book in the Moonberry Lake series. Varni has written yet another sweet story of compassion, loving your neighbor as yourself and redemption. As the main characters develop and walk through the story with the reader, you come to love their hearts and are cheering for them with the turn of each page. Varni weaves in humor, a touch of romance and some spunk in this funny, heart-warming story. Even though it is the 2nd book set in Moonberry Lake, this book can be read as a stand-alone novel.

Review of Target Acquired by Lynette Eason

This is the 2nd book in the Lake City Heroes series. The writing was great, as it always is with Lynette Eason as the author. This nail biting, suspense filled book had you flipping the pages all the way to the end. With twists and turns throughout the story, the reader is kept intrigued and fastened to each page as the plot thickens and the story develops. This is a great stand-alone book, even with being the 2nd in the series.

Review of The Road Before Us by Janine Rosche

This is the 2nd book I've read by Janine Rosche and as with the first book, it did not disappoint. This is a unique story of a journey of a famous actress who is a widow, her adult foster son and their unemployed financial advisor taking a trip on Route 66.  With flashbacks of the main characters, the reader begins to get a picture of how the past has shaped each person and where it has led each of them. Rosche does a fantastic job of not rushing the story, but sets it at a steady pace to keep the reader engaged, but it also does not feel hurried to get you to the end. With a touch of romance thrown in to the mix, this book is a great read as you enjoy a lazy summer afternoon or a good one to travel with you on vacation.

Review of The Lady with the Dark Hair by Erin Bartels

This is Erin's sixth book, and while it was a bit different than her previous ones, it did not disappoint! To begin, it has a soft spot in my heart as it's set in Lansing, Michigan and even mentions the name of the restaurant where my now husband and I went after we got engaged! Recognizing landmarks makes this book come to life even more than a regular fiction book. Erin did a great job toggling back and forth between two different time periods weaving the story across the years and countries to bring about a book that was intriguing and light, yet thoughtful. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good book to settle in to on a rainy day.

Review of Never Fall Again by Lynn H. Blackburn

Blackburn has started a new series called Gossamer Falls and this is the first book in the series. This romantic suspense mystery brings the reader into the lives of Landry Hutton, resident artist at The Haven and Callum Shaw, former Marine and local architect. Blackburn spins a tale of these two needing to depend on each other to keep Landry alive. With thrilling suspense around every corner, the reader is thrust in to a mystery that keeps you guessing throughout the book until the very end. With sweet, tender moments as well as tense, can't-turn-the-pages-fast-enough moments, this novel comes together as a great read that any suspense mystery reader will enjoy.

Review of Fatal Witness by Patricia Bradley

Bradley has written yet another mystery suspense that keeps the reader engaged and turning the pages until the very end. With a unique plot, characters who were well developed and twists and turns along the way, Bradley did an outstanding job with this book. This storyline had a splash of romance that wasn’t overly heavy mixed with some crime and mystery. Bradley also did a great job weaving in God throughout the story as well that left a good overarching balance of story. This is the 2nd book in the Pearl River Series, but can be read as a stand-alone novel.

Review of Shadows at Dusk by Elizabeth Goddard

Shadows at Dusk is the second book in the Missing In Alaska series. Goddard spins a story that keeps the reader engaged and flipping the pages right up to the end! If you read her first book in this series, you won't be disappointed in the second book! This suspense mystery is very well written and there's not a dull moment throughout the story. Even though it's the 2nd book in a series, it can be read as a stand alone novel as well as the main character is in the first book, but as a very minor character. You'll enjoy this book in to the wee hours of the morning until you turn that last page!
