With this week’s Fiction Friday, I’d love to share three historical novels with you. They are as different as they can be. One is set in Regency England, another in 1860s Colorado, with the final set in 1930s Hollywood. Each has an interplay of mystery with some level of romance. A Noble Masquerade and Fire & Ice are both romances first …
Fiction Friday: Tiffany Girl
When someone told me to read Deeanne Gist’s a Bride Most Begrudging, she insisted it would show me that historical Christian romance could be rich, lush, and fresh. That friend was right. Deeanne has been a go-to author for me for awhile. I love most of her books, but it’s been awhile since one captured me. She’s at it again. …
Fiction Friday: Married ’til Monday
Denise Hunter writes emotional romances. Married ’til Monday perfectly fits that model. In Married ’til Monday the reader gets pulled into Ryan McKinley’s broken marriage — he didn’t want it to end…in fact he’s bought his ex-wife’s dream home in some delusional attempt to live the dream. Abby is getting ready to move far away in what she thinks is her dream job. …
Fiction Friday: The Bones Will Speak
The Bones Will Speak is an absolute page turner. Carrie Stuart Parks has quickly developed a style that goes deep into a story with multiple plot lines intersecting throughout the pages. This style makes it incredibly hard to put a book down. Where the A Cry From the Dust dove into a what if regarding Mormon history, The Bones Will Speak dives into the …

This book is all about the decision to take the safe way or risk it …

Fiction Friday: Shadows of Ladenbrooke Manor
Shadows of Ladenbrooke Manor is a multi-generational delight that had a bit of a slow start, but by the time I reached the end, I did not want to leave these characters. The story is a beautiful portrayal of brokenness, misunderstanding, redemption, and love that endures. Libby is a character misunderstood and yet beautiful in her own unique way. She sees …
