His Unexpected Amish Twins Rachel J. Good (Unexpected Amish Blessings #1)



Description:

When Micah Miller’s brother and sister-in-law are killed in a buggy accident, he’s devastated. But he fulfills the promise he made when their twins were born seven years earlier: to raise Abby and Isaac should tragedy strike. Still, coping with the children’s grief as well as his own, requires extra support. Micah takes them to a counselor who recommends animal therapy. He’s surprised to find an Amish farm that offers just that . . .
 
Hope Graber had to find a way to save the family farm after her daed’s health forced him to stop breeding horses. Providing animal therapy proved to be the answer—thanks to the help of expert trainer Logan Russell. Together, they not only pay the bills, they make positive changes in children’s lives. Hope loves working with each child, but she takes a special interest in the Miller twins. She even makes Micah smile again—and he does the same for her. In fact, as Micah emerges from his depression, he longs to make them one happy family. But will Hope’s debt to her Englisch trainer, and their close partnership, stand in the way?

My thoughts on the book:

What a sweet story. The story is about finding forgiveness in the broken. I loved Chloe what a spirited child total spit fire for sure she added a huge element to the story in my opinion. At first I was not a fan of Logan I wanted to punch him but he does grow on you a little. Hope was a fighter no matter what she faced she was fighting it head on with the grace and faith of God. This author had a way of getting to your heart and really sucking you into the story to see what will happen next. Nothing seemed to be off limits in this story which made the characters very relatable. This story is a good clean read and suitable for all.

A Son for the Mountain Firefighter Melinda Curtis


Description:

Hot Shot firefighters are brave. They battle forest fires on the ground with little more than shovels and chainsaws. It’s physical work and a young man’s game. But there comes a time when youth gives way to maturity, when priorities shift, and the door opens to love. The Mountain Firefighter series follows four firefighting friends as they grow, change, and transition to their thirties – although they might never truly settle down!

His job or his family…
Jackson Garrett is a Hot Shot, one of an elite team who fights forest fires. More than once he’s saved the lives of the people on his crew. And more than once, Jackson knows the reason he’s made it out alive is Lexie – his good luck charm and one true love.

A marriage in peril…
Lexie Garrett doesn’t feel as if she ever had a husband. With Jackson always away, she’s practically raised their daughter alone. There’s no doubt Lexie loves Jackson. But will he be there for her the way he says he will? Now and forever?

A traditional, clean romance with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

My thoughts on the book:

This book was really hard to put down. This book was also hard to read in a good way the book was very emotional. The author had a way of reaching into your heart and just getting right to the heart of the matter as well. I can honestly say there isn't one thing that I didn't like about this book it was so good. I loved the brotherhood between Jackson and his firefighting friends. I loved how Lexie every though she faced some really hard things she was a fighter and would not stop fighting for what she felt in her heart. I like how the author took a group of friends and made them feel more like family. I felt like I was catching up with friends. This book is a clean read and suitable for all.

Loving Jenna Amy Lillard




Description:

In this new novel set in the beloved Oklahoma Amish community of Wells Landing, three generations of women challenge themselves and each other to make a fresh start in faith, family—and love.
Jenna Burkhart is tired of being “special” and hearing about what she can't do. Even though she suffered a head injury in a childhood swimming accident, she wants a life of her own just like any Amish woman. But now that she, her mamm, and her mammi have moved to Wells Landing, she's having a hard time fitting in. . . . Until she meets Buddy Miller, a boy just like her, who gives her the confidence to reach for the impossible . . .

Like Jenna, Buddy is used to being the boy no one expects much from, the one people see as “different.” Still, being around Jenna’s lively, kind-hearted ways makes him strive ever-harder to become the self-sufficient Amish man she deserves. But in the face of family disapproval and their own fears, will Jenna and Buddy's courage be enough to give them a forever happiness together?

Praise for Amy Lillard and her Wells Landing novels

“An inspirational story of romance, faith, and trust . . . will appeal to fans of Wanda Brunstetter and Beverly Lewis.”
—Library Journal

“Fans of inspirational romance will appreciate Lillard’s vivid characters and positive message.”
—Publishers Weekly

My thoughts on the book:

I was not a fan for this book at all. I felt like for the first 4 to 5 chapters the author spent dwelling and repeating about the way the main characters are "simple" minded it became to the point of annoying. I also felt like the author tries to make these characters be grown up or at least that's what Jenna and Buddy wanted to be seeing as grown ups but they came off very childish and it just didn't seem to fit the tone of the book. I will say for the most part it is a clean read there is one scene I am sure someone will be offended by but to each his own. 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

Zero Visibility Mary Alford- Courage Under Fire #2




Description:
He’s given up everything to bring down Legion. Will it cost him the woman he loves?  

With the world reeling from Legion’s latest attack, the deadly terrorist group makes a play for control of the country when Vice President Kincaid announces to the world the president is dead. Kincaid is quickly sworn in as commander in chief. Yet, the Strike Force is convinced reports of the president’s death are more lies. Members of the team are dispatched to the nation’s capital to find out the truth. Will they be too late to save the life of the one man in power who remains their ally? 

Amidst the chaos, Strike Force leader Ben Parker must choose between saving the world and saving the woman he loves. For Ben, the decision is easy. He leaves the security of the team’s headquarters because he can’t lose Jennifer again. He’ll do everything in his power to protect her life and save their marriage. 

With Legion watching his every move, Ben sets out on a harrowing journey through dangerous territory to find Jennifer and bring her home. Yet, nothing prepares Ben for the depths in which Legion will go to take out every member of the Strike Force...even using one of their own against them. 

Jennifer Parker has made a huge mistake. Instead of staying and trying to save her marriage, she panicked and ran. Now, there are armed men watching her house, and she has only one option to live. Trust the man who broke her heart. But for Jennifer, trust is hard to give when there is so much at stake.  

Ben and Jennifer will be tested to their limits. Someone could pay the ultimate price to protect freedom. And with Legion coming after them full force, no one is safe.

Once in a Blue Moon Amanda Ashby



Description:
Florist Laney George has a successful business, amazing friends and big, big dreams––oh, and a broken heart. But she’s working through that last one. Then the man she hoped to never see again shows up––and Laney’s carefully ordered plans are experiencing technical difficulties.

Celebrated Author Adam Fitzpatrick planned to be in St. Clair for no more than a day. Sign the books, and get out. Same story, different day. What he didn’t count on was Laney George, who happens to be the star of his somewhat fictional tale. She broke his heart years ago, and he’d gone a bit mad. Okay, maybe a lot mad––and he put everything in his book, never imagining it would be a world-wide best seller.

Now that he’s seen her again, he wants answers. But it isn’t just her that draws him in. It’s the town, something is happening and for the first time in years…he can write again. If only he could convince the woman who hates him most to start a new chapter in their story.

My thoughts on the book:
This book had a lot of push and pull between the two main characters, with the back and forth there where times that the book felt like it dragged. I felt sometime the author tended to repeat some of the story as well. I loved Tilly hands down she was my favorite. She is quirky and you never knew what was going to come out of her mouth. She also always said something wise she just made me hope that I have some one like that in my life. Sex is talked about and indicated but never described in detail so may be suitable for most readers. Over all the story was a cute read but you do need to be patient when it drags. I would say if you read the first book grab this one it was fun catching up with the other characters from that book.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

Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas Emily March



Description:

In Eternity Springs: The McBrides of Texas, New York Times bestselling author Emily March presents a brand new arc set in the Lone Star State that features a family-linked trilogy within the author's romantic series.

Hope springs eternal in this enchanting Texas town.

Meet Gillian Thacker. Her business: Bliss Bridal Salon. Her passion: Weddings. Her own wedding: It’s complicated. Life isn’t turning out like she’d planned. The last thing she wants is for a real-life hero to ride to her rescue when an unexpected event puts her entire future in Redemption, Texas, at risk. So what’s a broken-hearted bridal expert to do? Maybe a new set of survival skills is exactly what she needs…

Tucker McBride has been proud to call himself a U.S. Army Ranger. But now that his days of service are over, he’s decided to put his expertise to use by founding a wilderness skills training school. He sets up shop in Redemption, next to Bliss Bridal, and so begins life: Part Two. Marriage has been pretty low on his agenda, but as soon as he meets Gillian, Tucker can’t help but contemplate the ultimate challenge: Convincing the reluctant bride to take his hand and leap into the adventure of a lifetime. . .until death do they part.

“A brilliant writer you’ll love creates a world you’ll never want to leave.”—Susan Mallery, New York Times bestselling author

My thoughts on the book:

I like this author she has a way of sucking you into a story and always has fun a quirky characters. I am so glad the Blessing cousins are back in this story you never know what will come out of their mouths and what they are going to be up to next. I really liked Tucker he was a Cowboy through and through, He was a perfect hero for this story nothing anyone could say or do could change who he is as a person. Gillian was a broken soul who needed the perfect person to come and help her heal but her family and friends always had her back. I loved the friendship between the girls they always have each others backs.This book does discuss sex and has some language so may not be suitable for all readers. Overall I really enjoyed this book it was a super fun read.

The Key to My Heart Nikki Lynn Barrett



Description:
The Key To My Heart is a series standalone. It can be read by itself, but it is part of the Love and Music in Texas series.

One dream fails, a passion burnt out...

With no set plan and a desire to find a passion, Blaine Grant hightailed it out of Harmony's Echo a year out of high school to find herself. Finding a passion didn't come as easily to her as it did for others she knew. Now, Blaine has come home for good with mistakes she'd like to forget, but the past doesn't want to forget her. Everyone thought she'd been selfish to not come back when she was needed the most, but Blaine never let anyone know the emotional hell she went through.

Another dream is just beginning to see the light...

Randy Hughes has always been the shy guy until he discovered his love of music. It wasn't until joining the band that he grew out of his shyness. The oldest sibling and the only boy, he's pressured by family expectations to set a good example. He's the one who takes everyone in when they need it, and he's the one whose own dreams are ignored. Now that big things are happening for the Baby Stetson band, Randy has to decide how to handle his family when his dreams are on the line...

A friendship is changing.

One spur of the moment, impulsive move leads Randy and Blaine into a dire situation that may bring them together, or pull them apart, just when he's finally able to gather the courage to tell Blaine how he's felt about her all these years...

Revisit the characters you've come to know in small town Harmony's Echo, as more changes settle upon them.

My thoughts on the book:

What I like about this author is that she never sugar coat's anything, no topic or subject are ever off limits. In this story that was very much the case she has away of always getting to the heart of the matter as well. I really enjoyed this story of Randy and Blaine, I felt like after reading The Melody in my Head I could not wait to find out what happened with them. Blaine and what she faced broke my heart but dang this girl came out swinging and you never knew what she was going to do next. I loved her take no prisoner attitude. Randy is loyal to a fault and at first I thought he had no back bone but at the end of the day that changed and it was hard not to really really like him and root for him. I don't know what character the author has next for us but I can say if its this same group of friends than I can't wait for more. This book does have sex and adult language so it may not be suitable for all.
