When Love Arrives by Johnnie Alexander

About the Book
An Unlikely Couple Struggles to Reconcile the Burdens of Their Past
Dani Prescott came to the children's hospital to spy on Brett Somers--so how did she end up on a date with him? Weeks earlier she'd seen an interview in which he blamed her mother for the plane crash that had killed his parents. But the crash had killed her mother as well, so Dani can't believe the story Brett's trying to sell to the media.
Vowing to find a way to discredit the privileged--and maddeningly handsome--Brett, Dani has been following him and taking photos, hoping to find something she can use against him. But when she catches his eye instead, she quickly finds herself offering up a fake name and agreeing to a date. Brett knows this mystery girl is hiding something--but he's got his own secrets to keep. What will happen when he discovers who she really is? Will Dani and Brett look beyond their own heartaches to discover a love that could heal their deepest pain?

Fresh, flirty, and fast-paced, When Love Arrives is an engaging story that will have readers falling in love with the characters as they navigate the tricky waters between romance and revenge.

My Thoughts
I have slightly conflicting opinions of this book. On one hand I really liked it, but on the other hand there were some things that didn't click right for me. Overall though it was a good read. The first book in this series was the first that I had read of this author and I enjoyed it enough to really want to read this sequel. Brett was a bit of the "bad guy" in book one so I was interested to see how the author would redeem him. I was actually a bit surprised that it took no time at all for me to like the man he was becoming whereas Dani was harder for me to warm up to. I think one of the main reasons was the fact that her whole plan to destroy Brett simply for saying something about her mother seemed way too far fetched for reality and honestly made her come off in a bad light. Despite that, she grew on me a bit and I was happy to see how the romance between her and Brett played out. The main focus of this book seemed to be on relationships and the interactions between the characters. Whether it was cousins who had buried past hurts and were getting closer, or siblings who weren't the best at communicating, or someone who'd been hurt by another person learning to forgive. It all connected to weave an enjoyable tale that was fun to read. I'll be interested to see where Amy's story takes us!

Courageous by Dina L. Sleiman

About the Book
Inspired by the vision of the Young Lady Sapphira, Rosalind of Ipsworth joins a group of men, women, and children as a defender of the cross, seeking to free captives from prisons near Tripoli. She gladly gives herself to the cause, as she's haunted by a tragic mistake and no longer deserves such joys as marriage and family might bring.

Sir Randel Penigree was reared to serve in the church, but dreams of protecting the innocent as a knight. Joining a crusade to escape humiliation at home, he finds himself drawn to Rosalind as they partner to train and protect a group of young adolescents. When they face political machinations, danger, and an unknown enemy bent on their destruction, they are forced to reconsider their priorities and the very nature of the God they serve.

My Thoughts
When I first heard about this author's debut novel I was instantly intrigued and I knew I had to read it. I was lucky to get a copy for review and I loved it so I eagerly awaited book two, hoping it would live up to its predecessor. And it gloriously did, earning this author a spot on my must read list. So this third book had a lot to live up to and thankfully it was as good as the first two!
I can honestly say I have never read a book that centered around a crusade so this was an entirely know new territory for me. But it was a very interesting setting!
We got to meet Rosalind in the last book and Randall made some appearances so I was excited to see where their story would take them and how it would play out. I loved the way that their easy friendship slowly blossomed into something deeper, even though they had both decided marriage wasn't in the cards for them. Both had pasts that haunted them and it seemed like they both centered their lives around trying to atone for the things they had done. So it was beautiful to watch as they learned to accept that God had truly forgiven them and that they were not defined by the sins they had committed.
The mystery of who was the traitor in the group who wanted Randall dead kept me guessing until it was revealed and it was fun trying to figure it out.
There were a few bits near the end that didn't seem to flow as smoothly as the rest and seemed a bit forced, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of this book! I really liked the very end and getting to see all of the characters together!
So basically this book (and the series it is a part of) is amazing and you definitely need to read them!

Missing by Lisa Harris

About the Book
Nikki Boyd Enters the Deadly World of Counterfeit Drugs to Find a Missing Woman
Nikki Boyd isn't usually called in on homicides; her forte is missing persons. But when a case with two murdered and two missing pops up on a quiet suburban street, she's ready to start the investigation and find missing homeowners Mac and Lucy Hudson. When the first clues lead her to the boat of her friend Tyler Grant--and another dead body--Nikki must untangle what ties Tyler to the Hudsons. The clues pull her into a deadly maze of counterfeit drugs and a killer who will stop at nothing to silence anyone who threatens his business--including Nikki.

Christy Award-winning and bestselling author Lisa Harris puts readers right into the action in this fast-paced thriller that will have them turning pages long into the night.

My Thoughts
Lisa Harris knows how to take her readers for a wild adventurous ride and this book was no different. After meeting the characters in Vendetta I was interested to get more of their story and see how things would continue to play out. Nikki and Tyler's relationship is slightly complicated, they started as friends when Tyler married Nikki's best friend Kate. But Kate died in a tragic accident and as time has passed Nikki has started to see Tyler as more than a friend, though she keeps these feelings to herself in fear of ruining their friendship. Despite all that they make a great couple and I can't wait to see where things will go with them!
The action was fast paced and kept me on my toes with lots of unexpected twists. There was quite a lot going on but the author did a great job of making it all fit together clearly.
Everything about this book was well done and I'm eagerly anticipating book three!

Keep Holding On by Melissa Tagg

About the Book
Swoon-worthy Romance. Small-town Charm. Best friends reunite in Tagg's latest novel of second chances and enduring love.
Beckett Walker hasn't stepped foot in Maple Valley in years. There's no getting past the painful memories, and there's every chance he'll be arrested as soon as he shows his face. Which is exactly what happens when he finally returns. Suddenly his dream of adventure as a military lawyer comes skidding to a halt.
Horticulturist Kit Danby has spent too much time missing home and her childhood best friend--Beckett Walker. Now she might have a shot at reclaiming both. After years of living abroad, she returns to run her family's apple orchard. She has one season to turn a profit and impress the father she barely knows. But she can't do it alone.

It should be simple: Beckett needs community service hours. Kit needs a helping hand. But there's more at stake than either of them planned. With a tangled past and futures that look nothing alike, they'll have to find a way to weather the storms of the present . . . or risk losing everything.

My Thoughts
Anyone who's been following this blog the past few years should know by now that when you see the name Melissa Tagg here you should brace yourself for a long gushing review. So brace yourselves because that's exactly what you're going to get! I swear Melissa gets better with each book. Every time I finish a book of hers I'm convinced there's nothing that could be better and every time her next book proves me wrong! There are a million little things I loved about this book that all added up to three hundred and thirty some pages of pure awesome!
I'll start with first things first, the cover! This just might be my favorite cover of all time! It has been the lock screen on my phone since it was revealed and I seriously want to get a poster sized print of it to hang on my wall!
Then there's the character names. I've loved the name Beckett for awhile now and it totally is perfect for this character. Kit is an adorable name and it just gets cuter when you learn how she got the nickname.
And the characters themselves! Melissa knows how to write characters that you can't help falling in love with! We've gotten to meet Beckett in little snippets of the first two books but it was awesome to get to really know him. Beckett is the reckless wild child of the family, he's always the one coming up with ideas and tends to charge into things without taking too much time to think it through. He's also the smooth talker, very good at talking his way out of and into things or convincing others to do things. Especially Kit, no matter the crazy idea she just can't seem to say no to him. Kit is Beckett's opposite in many ways, she likes to think things out and isn't one to just jump into things. But their differences are what made them so good for each other, he pushed her out of her comfort zone a bit and she kept him grounded. I loved how they started out as friends when they were kids and how even though it had been years since they'd talked, they still knew each other almost better than they knew themselves. Everything about their love story was adorably perfect and I loved every minute of it!
The orchard aspect was really unique and fun and it totally put me in a fall mood. It also was absolutely perfect to add to the Maple Valley charm! I adored visiting this fictional town again, something about it tugs at my heart and I want it to be real so I can move there and never leave.
It was also really great to see the characters from the previous books moving forward in their relationships.

I should probably stop my rambling and gushing now so I will wrap this up though I could keep going for quite awhile! This book had me smiling, laughing out loud, even crying and I loved every second of it! Every little detail was brilliantly crafted and simply beautiful!!! And now I'm dying to read the next book because I need to know what's going to happen with Reagan and Bear!

A Heart Most Certain by Melissa Jagears

About the Book
While Lydia King's reasons for joining the Teaville Moral Society might be suspect to some members, her heart is in the right place. Because of her father's debts and her mother's persistent illness, her best chance at a secure future and curing her mother is to impress the politician courting her. Her first task--to ask the town's wealthiest man to donate--seems simple enough . . . until he refuses.
Despite appearances, Nicholas Lowe wants to help others, but prefers to keep his charity private. When Lydia proves persistent, they agree to a bargain, but Nicholas still intends to do things his own way. Neither predicts what they'll learn about true charity or foresee the complications their actions will bring to the town, forcing Lydia to decide where her beliefs and heart truly align.

My Thoughts
I've been a fan of Melissa’s since I read her first novella and I have only gotten more impressed with her as I’ve read each of her novels. This is the first book of her second series and it got off to a great start!
Lydia and Nicholas were both very interesting and well written characters. Everyone sees Nicholas as stingy with his vast wealth because he never gives publicly to the church or any of the causes brought to him. But unbeknownst to the town he gives regularly and generously but he prefers to keep it all private and to decide exactly who it will go to. Lydia has a good heart but she's a bit naive. After striking their bargain Nicholas opens Lydia's eyes to the many areas of need including that of helping prostitutes escape the lives they never wanted or no longer want. They both had areas of their heart they needed to work on whether it was realizing that not everyone in the church is a hypocrite and that you can't save the world on your own, or learning to care more about following God and helping those in need than the way others view you. I loved watching their relationship, they were exactly what each other needed and their romance was quiet and sweet.
There were several characters in this book that I would have quite happily smacked but there were also a great number of lovable ones and together they made a wonderful story!
I loved the way the author clearly highlighted an area that can be hard to hear for some Christians. The fact that we are to be doers of the Word and not hearers only, we can't just assume someone else will be the one to help those in need, God calls us all to be His hands and feet and it is our responsibility to be His light in this broken world.
In closing I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and can't wait for book two!

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

Tangled Webs by Irene Hannon
Revell-October 4, 2016

About the Book
After a disastrous Middle East mission ends his six-year Army Ranger career, Finn McGregor needs some downtime. A peaceful month in the woods sounds like the perfect way to decompress. But peace isn't on the agenda once he crosses paths with publishing executive Dana Lewis, a neighbor who is nursing wounds of her own. Someone seems bent on disrupting her stay in the lakeside cabin she inherited from her grandfather. As Finn and Dana work together to discover who is behind the disquieting pranks, the incidents begin to take on a menacing tone. And when it becomes apparent Dana's foe may have deadly intent, Finn finds himself back in the thick of the action--ready or not.
Bestselling author Irene Hannon draws readers into a web of psychological suspense where danger lurks in dark corners . . . and keeps them captive until the very last page.

Why I Want It
Uhh it's Irene Hannon that's all the reason I need! Plus these McGregor brothers are too much fun and I can't wait for Finn's story!

Lydia King took a tentative step into Mr. Lowe's hazy office, feeling like Bob Cratchit approaching Scrooge. Had Cratchit's heart pitter-pattered as fast as hers? Except his heartbeat wouldn't have had anything to do with Scrooge's looks-thin blue lips, pointed nose, and red eyes, per Dickens.

An Elegant Façade by Kristi Ann Hunter

About the Book
Lady Georgina Hawthorne has worked tirelessly to seal her place as the Incomparable for her debut season. At her first London ball, she hopes to snag the attention of an earl.
With money and business connections, but without impeccable bloodlines, Colin McCrae is invited everywhere but accepted nowhere. When he first encounters the fashionable Lady Georgina, he's irritated by his attraction to a woman who concerns herself only with status and appearance.

What Colin doesn't know is that Georgina's desperate social aspirations are driven by the shameful secret she harbors. Association with Colin McCrae is not part of Georgina's plan, but as their paths continue to cross, they both must decide if the realization of their dreams is worth the sacrifices they must make.

My Thoughts
After adoring this author's debut novel I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book and thankfully I loved this one too!
I found it very interesting and rather cool how instead of picking up where the first book left off this one started in the middle of the events from A Noble Masquerade. But since they were told from two new perspectives it didn't feel repetitive and I actually loved seeing multiple sides of the same story.
Georgina didn't come across very likable in the first book but as soon as we got into her head it was all explained. It was rather brilliant the way she had manipulated her life and created a character for herself all to keep her secret from being discovered. That she was able to hide it for so long from all but one person was remarkable. And even though she didn't start off on the best foot in my opinion by the end she had captured my heart and I was rooting for things to work out for her.
Colin was an amazing character. I loved how despite being a shrewd businessman he always made sure to do the honorable thing and also the fact that he was content with his status on the fringes of society in a time when having a high status meant everything to most people. The way Colin and Georgina matched wits throughout left me with a smile on my face almost the whole time I was reading. I loved the way their relationship played out and there were some moments that were absolutely swoon-worthy!
It was really fun to see some of Ryland and Miranda's story from another view and to see how things played out after the events of their book. It was also great to "visit" with the other familiar characters from book one and the prequel novella!

In conclusion I loved everything about this book (like I did with the first one) and I cannot wait till Trent's story comes out so I can devour that one as well!
