Review: Sweet By and By
Because I have two tight book deadlines, I’m not letting myself read many books right now. In fact, I’m almost in book withdrawal. However, when Thomas Nelson made The Sweet By and By available for review, I had to get it. First, I have thoroughly enjoyed every Rachel Hauck book I’ve read. Second, I enjoy Sara Evans music. Third, I …
Two Suspense Reviews
In Under the Cajun Moon, the author has done it again. She drops the reader into a fresh locale — New Orleans — and completely had me there. And it had a different feel to other books I’ve read set in that locale. Chloe Ledet is called home to New Orleans after her father is shot in a remote bayou …
A Couple Reviews
I’ve recently read a few great books. Here are two (and for the FTC: the first one I bought and the second I received from the author as a thanks for helping with some legal aspect of the novel — one I can’t even remember helping with!). Both of these are wonderful books…and very worth your reading time — though …
God Gave us…Reviews

The Swiss Courier: World War Two fiction at its best!
This is historical fiction at its best! I was sucked into the pages of this book from the first page. And the final twist had me cheering! It was the perfect finish to an engaging and historically accurate novel. Don’t mistake accuracy for boring — this book is anything but. Instead, the characters were rich, the time and location perfectly …
Reviews: Seaside Letters & Guardian of the Flame
Today I’m reviewing two books that I recently read and really enjoyed. One is a sweet romance from Denise Hunter, while the other is the latest in the Seven Wonders books from T.L. Higley. Both were engrossing reads, but in different ways. So to start, let’s turn to fellow Hoosier, Denise Hunter… For Seaside Letters, think You’ve Got Mail mixed …
