Wishes on Mistletoe Mountain by Dora Hiers

 My review today is on the Christian Romance, Wishes on Mistletoe Mountain. I don't think I have ever read any of Dora's books before but I did really enjoy this one. I hope to read more of her work.  This book is well written, humorous, and heart warming. I know you are going to love it.

Chase Kirkland is the owner of the Wishes Resort. He had worked there as a young teen and has never left. He had slowly bought his way into it and now is the owner. His chef is expecting a baby and he must find a replacement. He goes slowly by Camille's home. She was the love of his life but her father had sent her away when he had found them in a compromising position. A light is on and smoke is in the chimney. He goes in to see what is going on only to be hit in the head by a frying pan. Camille is back!

Camille Tulane was sent away from Mistletoe Mountain by her father. He sent her to Italy to culinary school. She never heard from Chase so she stayed there. Now she has come back to figure out what to answer the man who wants to marry her. Is she over Chase? Can she give her heart to another? She takes the job of chef temporarily. She must figure this out.

A journey to reunite two broken souls. God has a plan for these two, a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too, a good plan and not for evil. As we go through this time of trial we need Jesus to lead us and guide us. Give Him your heart and watch a miracle take place in your life.

Show Me A Single-Dad Cowboy by Alexa Verde

My review today is on the Christian Romance, Show Me a Single-Dad Cowboy. This is a Prequel to the Cowboy Crossing Romance Series. I always enjoy Alexa's book and I'm thrilled when she has a new one come out. This story is well written and heart warming. I know you are going to love it.

Maggie Harris returns home after being fired. She had been a very successful matchmaker; then one of her clients took advantage of her. Her boss believed the client and that was the end. She has forgot how beautiful Missouri can be. She is out riding when her secret crush rides up. He had asked her out for a pity date years ago. She needed to protect her heart from this gorgeous cowboy.

Georgio Moore is the son of an affluent rancher. His father had ran off taking most of the family money with him. His ex-wife ran off and left him and his son. Georgio has built up the ranch to be prosperous. He agrees to have Maggie find him a match. Unfortunately the only woman he wants t date is her.

A delightful journey to find the perfect match. They both realize that they want only each other but refuse to acknowledge it. God has a plan for these two; a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too. I know we are in trying times but Jesus is our only answer. Ask Him into your heart and watch Him move in your life.

The Sheriff's Guns by Will Johnston

 My review today is on the western, The Sheriff's Guns. For my followers, this isn't a Christian book. There is some language and violence but it is a great read.  Its well written, full of action and drama. I know you are going to love it.

Rick Arneson takes a job as a sheriff. On the day he arrives in town he breaks up a fight. He's told that he is never going to make it here. The mayor tells him he (the mayor) will keep his own badge just in case. He doesn't want Rick to be to hard on the men. It's not good for business. Rick faces rustlers, banditos, and Apaches. The town is split down the middle; Mexicans on one side and the Anglos on the other. The only good thing in town is the little woman that works in the saloon, Smashed Glass Sally (when men get fresh she slams a glass over their head.)

Victor Fierro wants his land back. He'll do anything to make that happen. He sees himself as a soldier and doesn't care who gets hurt in war as long as he gets his land back. He has manage to spit the town and cause a civil war.

Sally Ziegleris trapped in the saloon. Her father's ranch was attacked and he was shot in the head. He's alive but just barely. They have lost everything and now live in a shack. The only job in town is at the saloon but she doesn't go upstairs. She is drawn to the new sheriff.

A dangerous journey that looks hopeless. Everyone is against the sheriff but he won't give up.

My Only Chance by Kelly Desalis

 My review today is on the romantic suspense, My Only Chance. This is book one in the Athena Series. I haven't read any of Kelly's books before but I liked this one. It really spoke to me for I came from an abusive marriage and at one time feared for my life. Domestic abuse is a big problem in this nation. For all my followers I must warn you that this is not a Christian book. There is some bad language all though  it is used in the right situations. The story is well written; I know you will like her characters. I highly recommend it.

Mary had three close friends when she graduated. Now after all these years she has been cut off from them. A controlling, abusive husband does that. She is now divorced and has come home free at last. One of her friends is angry with her and insists on hurting her for cutting her off. The twins are still her friends and are thrilled she's back. One of the twins had been abused and knew the symptoms. Mary wants to rebuild her parents shop and start a new life. She meets a man that will help her. A man she could see herself with.

Handyman David is told by one of the twins that heir friend is wanting to repair her parents shop. He was their handyman and has a key. He goes there to see how bad it is and find a woman there. He grabs her from behind and ends up with a black eye. He is drawn to the woman and pursues her. He isn't put off when he hears about her marriage and about her ex. He only wants to cherish her.

A journey to a new life. Their lives are filled with ups and downs. There is life after abuse.

Can she trust this man? All of her friends tells her not to listen and then she finds someone is trying to abduct her.

US Marshal Michael Sullivan is searching for his fiancee. She had just disappeared. Now he has found her but she has been brainwashed and drugged. She doesn't believe him. Is the whole town involved in this deception? How can he convince her that she is a doctor not a waitress.

Grave Christmas Secrets by Sharee Stover

My review today is on the Love Inspired Suspense, Grave Christmas Secrets. This book is well written, action packed, and full of drama. Faith is an important ingredient in this story. I do like that it that it takes place in Nebraska. I know you are going to love this one. 

Forensic Anthropologist Taya McGill is called to the site of a recently dead body. She didn't mind being called in as she had no plans for Christmas anyway. As she is finished and ready to prepare the remains for transport she sees a small red object lying by the spine. A deflated latex balloon containing a SIM card. She watched the beginning of the video but put it in her pocket and took it back to her Winnebago. It might hold the evidence to her death. On her way to her Winnebago she is attacked. She makes it to the trailer but they break in. The two men are from the video. The one man asks if she has the merchandise and the other says she is the merchandise. They are to kill her. As Skull grabs her hair the other knocks him unconscious. He takes her and runs; fearing for her life she goes with him. Can she really believe he is an ATF agent?

ATF Undercover Agent Keegan Stryker is with Skull a fellow gang member. He and his sister are deep undercover. His sister has recently disappeared. He is trying to find her. ATF thinks she flipped and ran off but he knows she is in trouble. Can the dead body Taya is working with be his sister? Can he keep them safe until they find out what is going on?

A terrifying journey to stay one step ahead of the killers as they both become targets. God has a plan for these two, a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too. A good plan and not for evil. Give Him your heart and watch Him work even in a world gone mad.

What are these men after? How do they know her? 

A horrific journey as men chase them down. These kidnappers seem to be willing to go to any lengths to capture her. God has a plan for these two; a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too, a good plan and not for evil. Give Him your heart and watch Him move you through the chaos going on around about you.
