The Story: Jade returns home to
Chapel Springs after years of protecting her fragile heart. Then along
comes Daniel, making her long to dance again.
Creative and
complicated, Jade McKinley felt like a weed in a rose garden growing up
in Chapel Springs. When she left, she thought she'd never look back. But
now, pregnant, alone, and broke, she has no other choice but to return.
The
mayor of Chapel Springs, Daniel Dawson, has been an honorary member of
the McKinley family for years. While his own home life was almost
non-existent, Daniel fit right into the boisterous McKinley family. He's
loved Jade for years, but she always saw him as a big brother. Now that
she's back, his feelings are stronger than ever.
As Jade
attempts to settle in, nothing feels right. God seems far away, she's
hiding secrets from her family, and she's strangely attracted to the man
who's always called her "squirt." Finding her way home may prove more
difficult than she imagined.
My Review:
This
book was amazing,I enjoyed it immensely. It took me only 1 day to read
it I was so hooked. Jade is her own unique person, I've never read a
another character like her. And Daniel. I can only say that he's the
Prince Charming that every Cristian girl is looking for. Daniel has
loved Jade for a long time and she doesn't even know it. Don't we all
wish that was the case for ourselves? That some perfect guy has been
watching from a distant and likes you even with your flaws? This book
had it all, romance, family, intrigue. Denise sure knows how to weave a
wonderful romance. I can't wait for her next book A December Bride
coming in December. Seems too long a wait.
The Story:
Regina Beswick never
dreamed of faraway places. She’s happy with her life as a classic car
mechanic and owner of a restoration shop.
But an unexpected
visitor and the discovery of a fairytale, drawn by her great-grandma,
causes Regina to wonder if she might be destined for something more.
Tanner
Burkhardt, Minister of Culture for the Grand Duchy of Hessenberg, must
convince the strong-willed Southerner, Miss Beswick, that she is his
country’s long-lost princess. Failure could destroy his reputation and
change his nation forever.
As Regina and Tanner face the
challenges before them, neither are prepared for love to invade their
hearts and change every thing they believe about themselves.
However,
when a royal opponent nearly destroys Regina’s future, she must lean
into God and trust He has sovereignly brought her to her true and final
destiny.
My Review:
I
really enjoyed this books predecessor Once Upon A Prince, but have to
say I did not enjoy Princess Ever After as much. I found Regina to be a
very selfish character and couldn't identify with her at all. I would
like to think if the same situation were to happen to me I would be more
worried about the country and its citizens that would cease to exist
than about my car restoring business that I hadn't been running very
long. I think Rachel Hauck is an amazing author but this particular
story and set of characters didn't really bring me into what was
supposed to be a royal fairytale.I was raised to not run away from
responsibility so this story just grated against my upbringing. I did
not like Regina and wouldn't want her to be my sovereign. All in all if
you're looking for a quick non-deep book then you may love this Princess
Ever After. I am looking forward to Rachel's next book with another set
of characters.
Here's The Story:
Only one pair of boots-and the cowboy wearing them-can get Annie out of the mess she's in.
Annie
Wilkerson is Moose Creek's premiere horse trainer and equine columnist
for "Montana Living." Money is tight as she tries to put her kid-sister
through college and provide for her young nephew.
When Annie's
column is cancelled, she's given first shot at a new lovelorn column-and
she can't afford to turn it down. Only problem is . . . Annie's never
been in love.
Always resourceful, she reluctantly strikes a deal
with the town's smooth-talking ladies' man Dylan Taylor: She'll work
with his ailing horse, Braveheart, if he'll help her answer the reader
letters.
Working closely with Dylan is harder than Annie
imagined, and she quickly realizes she may have misjudged him. But her
unwavering conviction that cowboys are nothing but trouble has kept her
heart safe for years. And she can't risk getting hurt now.
The
more Annie tries to control things, the more they fall apart. Her
feelings are spinning out of control, and her sister's antics are making
life increasingly more difficult. Annie knows she needs to turn the
reins over to God, but surrender has never come easily.
When Dylan reveals his feelings for her, Annie doesn't know what to trust-her head or her heart.
The trouble with "this" cowboy is that he might just be exactly what she needs.
My Review:
I
was pleasantly surprised with Trouble For Cowboys. I picked it up at a
local bookstore on sale looking for a quick read. I got a lot more. I
was pulled into the characters lives, when they felt anxiety I felt it,
when they felt happiness so did I. I loved the fact that I got
romance,humor,mystery and true love all in one book, I truly enjoyed
this book and look forward to reading more from Denise Hunter. She has
earned herself another reader.
Here’s The Story:
When her friend vanishes
from a cruise ship, reporter Darcy St. James isn’t satisfied with their
explanation that she simply left her job of her own accord. Something
isn’t lining up, and Darcy believes the only way to find the truth is to
put herself in Abby’s position. Within days, Darcy learns her friend
wasn’t the only person to disappear mysteriously. Last summer, a woman
vanished under almost identical circumstances.
Gage McKenna has taken a summer-long stint leading adventure excursions
for the passengers of various cruise lines that dock for a few days of
sightseeing. He’s surprised to find Darcy working aboard one of the
ships, investigating a troubling report. Something sinister is going on
and the deeper they dig the more Gage fears they’ve only discovered the
tip of the iceberg.
My Review:
My
discovery of Dani Pettrey’s books was because someone gifted me one of
her books and ever since I’ve been in love. The Alaskan Courage series
is so amazing. After you’re finished you feel as if you’ve been in a fun
class learning about something you enjoy. Add mystery, action, drama,
excitement and romance, an extremely handsome, rugged, strong man and
you’ve hit the 5 star list for me. I can’t wait for the next book in
this series.
I received Chateau of
Secrets to review by Melanie Dobson and I have to say I'm amazed! I've
always loved history and have had a special interest in the World War II
era since reading Anne Frank, but my view was limited to a 13 years
olds point of view. I didn't know a lot about the German Army including
that Jews served. The book is shown through 2 points of view; Gisèle
Duchant (who is based off a real person) and her Granddaughter Chloe and
follows Gisèle's heroic fight to protect the ones she loves and Chloe's
journey to learning about her family's history. With the Nazis bearing
down on Normandy Gisèle has secrets to keep, she fears that the Nazis
will learn that she is harboring a Jewish child and French resistant
fighters. Years later a German officer who is a Jew himself helps her
and a orphanage full of children escape, one of those children they
later adopt. I loved this book and I highly recommend it to anyone who
is looking for an enthralling story they will hold in their heart
forever.
