Blackbird Mary Alford- Amish Mountain Secrets #2

Description:

Sara Hersberger thought she’d fled the nightmare of her father’s sins when she left her St. Ignatius, Montana Amish community. For ten years she’d lived in the shadow of the crimes he committed. Sought to free herself of his shadow. Now, with nowhere else to go, Sara is forced to return to her former home where the bad things her father did still haunt the families of the people he killed, including her neighbor, Hunter Troyer, who lost his wife to Amos Hersberger’s sinister games.

But Sara’s hopes at repairing her fractured relationship with the community disappear when another innocent victim is found dead near Sara’s home, the MO matching the murders from ten years earlier. The distinctive blackbird, the killer’s signature, left near the body. 

The dead can’t come back to life, no matter how much Sara wants to blame her father for the mounting body count. So who is responsible for the latest string of murders, and why are they targeting Sara? With help from an unlikely ally, Hunter Troyer and Sara had better figure it out soon before the killer manages to silence Sara for good.

My thoughts on the book:

Have you ever read a book and you know your coming to the end but you also don't want it to end because its just that good? That book was this to me. I really could not put this book down. the author  will keep you on the edge of your seat for sure. I liked how the author kept the book clean. I loved Ivy she is your typical teenager attitude but also the most respectful caring girl with the biggest heart.

The Last Real Cowboy Caitlin Crews

Description:

USA Today bestselling author Caitlin Crews returns to the Cold River Ranch series with The Last Real Cowboy!

In Cold River, sometimes forbidden love is the sweetest of them all… 

Perennial good girl Amanda Kittredge knows that her longtime crush on Brady Everett was never really supposed to go anywhere. But when Brady comes home during Amanda’s first attempt at independence, well, who better to teach her about rebellion than her older brother’s bad-boy best friend?

Brady’s plans did not include being forced to work the family homestead for a year—and yet, here he is. And, to make matters worse, his best friend’s innocent little sister is making a menace of herself in the most grown-up, tempting ways. When Amanda begs Brady to teach her about men, he knows he should refuse. But could Brady’s greatest temptation be his salvation?

“Loaded with charming characters [and] wit….will win the heart of any romance fan.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on A True Cowboy Christmas

My thoughts on the book:

 I liked the story over all it was cute but I felt like both Amanda and Brady whined a lot yet both wanted to be seen as adults. Eventually Amanda grew some balls and was a total spit fire no one wanted to mess with. Brady’s family could describe every dysfunctional family out there perfectly. They all are healing and looking to find where they fit after their dad died and there was no love loss there. I think both Amanda and Brady’s brothers could be one in the same all protective and a pain in the read end. The sexual tension though out was not lacking at all, there is sex in this book so may not be suitable for all readers. Cute story over all but does also seem to drag here and there. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion

Hannah's Courage Molly Jebber- An Amish Charm Bakery #3

Description:

A loaf of fragrant cinnamon bread for breakfast . . . a sweet and creamy custard pie for dessert. In 1912 Ohio, the Amish Charm Bakery has something to delight locals and visiting Englischeralike. And within this warm, welcoming community, there’s always room for love to grow . . .

Hannah Lapp’s life, like a long-cherished recipe, is satisfying just the way it is. She enjoys whipping up desserts at the bakery, tutoring local children, and socializing with dear friends. One of those friends, Timothy Barkman, has made his interest in Hannah clear, but she’s been in no hurry to change her circumstances.

No sooner does she feel ready to grow closer to hard-working, handsome Timothy than Hannah finds she may have waited too long. Charlene Shetler intends to become Timothy’s fraa. It’s little wonder he’s attracted to such a pretty, forthright young woman, but is the newcomer all that she seems? Only when Hannah is willing to confront some difficult truths can she move bravely toward a life of abiding faith and love . . .

My thoughts on the book:

This book was not for me I felt like the book dragged a lot. I felt like the whole book was completely predictable and found it hard to just follow the over all story. The book is a clean read and would be suitable for all ages. I did like Ellie she was pistol and was fun to read about. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

End Game Giveaway Rachel Dylan

Add tit

Welcome Y'all I am so excited to have a chance to Interview Rachel Dylan and talk about her newest book and also get a chance to talk to get to know more about her. At the end of the interview I will be giving a copy of Rachel Dylan's newest book so stick around read the interview and find out how to enter. In no way is this giveaway sponsored.

Really quick before we jump in I wanted to explain that I have been reading Rachel for a few years now and I love her books. If you have never read anything by her I would say I can compare her stories to the others like Dee Henderson, Dani Pettrey, Susan Sleeman and Terri Blackstock. Y'all her book are worth the read grab one you won't be disappointed. Now on to the interview



Ok, I know you are a big pet person so my first question is:

If you could ask your pet 3 questions, what would they be?

1. What do you really think about me?
2. What’s your favorite food?
3. Do you miss me while I’m at work? ☺

DO you think your cat or any cat for that purpose has any regrets?

LOL, no I don’t. Cat’s don’t roll like that.

I know some authors like to have certain snacks or drinks why they write, Do you have a favorite snack food or drink around why you write? 

I usually always have water and sometimes coffee. I love cheez-its but they are super unhealthy so I’ve tried to cut back. 

I know you are a Lawyer have you always wanted to be both a Lawyer and a writer or did one come because of the other? 

I’ve always loved to write, but I didn’t realize I was going to be a novelist until I was in my 30s. I didn’t always want to be a lawyer, but it seemed like a good fit and a very practical decision. 

Do you or did you have a person that inspired you to write?

I think it was a combination of people. I was fortunate enough to have a very supportive family and teachers that encouraged my love for reading and writing. 

Do you have a Favorite place to write?

I usually write at my kitchen table. I have an office but I usually end up in the kitchen surrounded by my furry friends. 

Do you have a favorite author?

It’s hard to pick one favorite, but I really love Joel Rosenberg’s novels. 

I have always loved every one of your books that I read I am never able to put them down. I felt that same way with END GAME , Tell us a little about how this story first came to be. Did it start with an image, a voice, a concept, a dilemma or something else?

I think it started with a general concept about three women who went to law school together but ended up going into different career paths that weren’t all lawyers. Then it expanded from there. 

Who are your main characters? Tell as a little about what makes them tick?

END GAME focuses on Bailey Ryan and Marco Agostini. Bailey and Marco are very different. Bailey is a law and order type—largely driven by her legal experience. Marco, on the other hand, is more focused about getting the job done and cutting through the red tape. Their work styles end up complimenting each other but it also provides a good amount of conflict as well. 

Do you have a favorite character in this book? 

I do, but I can’t tell you that. LOL—actually I have a favorite character in the series. I think it will become apparent at some point☺ 

Which scene was most difficult to write?

There was no one specific scene that comes to mind. Writing in general is hard, but some stories flow more easily than others. 

Were there scenes you ended up cutting you wish you could've kept? 

I tend to write pretty lean so usually we’re adding elements as opposed to taking them away. 

If you can, can you tell us what is next to expect with this series or any other books you have in the make?

Yes! The next book is Layla’s story and I’ll be releasing the title soon. It will come out in October, and I’m super excited about it.
