Review: Sunburst by Susan May Warren


My rating: 5 stars / It was amazing



Synopsis

When former Navy SEAL and lifelong bachelor Ranger Kingston is called upon to take part in a rescue mission to save his brother Colt, who has been kidnapped by terrorists in Nigeria, he is shocked to find among the hostages a woman he knows and could never forget.

Noemi Sutton was attempting to return a young girl to her family in Boko Haram territory when she and the girl found themselves taken hostage, along with several others.

And while Ranger Kingston may be able to get the hostages away from their captors, he'll need Noemi's help if he ever hopes to get out of Nigeria alive.

Her solution? Pose as husband and wife. But when her uncle discovers the union, he insists on a traditional Nigerian wedding--binding Noemi to a man destined to break her heart. Worse, she's discovered the real reason she was kidnapped, and anyone around her is bound to be caught in the cross fire. Including her so-called new husband.

She'll need to figure out a way to leave the man she loves if she wants to save his life.

USA Today bestselling author Susan May Warren throws you into the thick of the action in this high-stakes, globe-trotting romance.


My Review

I can always count on this author to take me for quite a ride when I read one of her adventure-suspense books! The setting of Nigeria was fascinating and I loved the things I learned about the people and culture there. The danger felt so real and I can't imagine being in those circumstances. The flashbacks to Ranger and Noemi's first meeting and brief relationship were foundational to understanding their current tension and angst, and their amazing chemistry. I loved how their personalities complemented each other in the best ways. There is also an inspirational thread as both Ranger and Noemi find and strengthen their faith in God and each other. While they were on the run, we have another continuing story in Alaska with the woman rescued from the blizzard and her ties to the Russians. By the end of the book I could start to make out some of the puzzle pieces to the bigger picture and I can't wait for the next book to see how they fit together and especially Colt and Tae's romance!

GUEST POST

From author Pamela Desmond Wright

 
Finding my Inspiration

In Finding Her Amish Home, the reader is introduced to Maddie Baum and her son, Josh. The book opens in an Amish grocery when Abram Mueller and his Gran’pa Amos catch Josh stealing. Having been told no to a treat, the boy has mistaken bars of baker’s chocolate for candy and has stolen a couple of bars. Maddie is mortified and apologizes profusely. This event, seemingly so small, sets off a chain of events that will reveal a terrible secret Maddie has been hiding.

In order not to spoil the book for readers, I won’t give away any details. I will say what a joy this book was to write. The road to publication wasn’t easy. It was my first try at Amish fiction, and I wasn’t sure I could pull it off. In 2012, after years of writing paranormal and contemporary adult romance, I realized that I was no longer happy with the books I was producing. Yes, they were quick and easy to write, but with each new release, I found myself highly unsatisfied with what I had produced. It came to a point where I was unhappy with the career path I’d chosen. So I did what many people told me was crazy. I walked out, leaving contracts unfulfilled and money uncollected.

Nine years passed. I had no desire to write and didn’t miss the pressure of outlines, deadlines, and all the things that go with bringing a book into the world. Still, I wasn’t content. Something was missing from my life, but I didn’t know what.

Quite by accident, I happened upon an article mentioning Amish romance. As I read the article, I found myself fascinated by the Amish culture of faith, family, and devotion to community. Believe it or not, I grew up playing in an authentic log cabin, complete with a wood burning stove. Rescued off the prairie, my grandfather rebuilt the cabin on his property and furnished it with many of the things he and my grandmother had saved from her own childhood, brought across the high plains in a covered wagon from Oklahoma back in the depression days. I loved playing in that cabin and learned to cook on the wood burning stove. Curious to read some of the books, I ordered a stack off eBay. After they arrived, I devoured them. It was then I knew what I had to write.

Sending up a little prayer, I began to work on a story. Once I had enough material, my new agent sent the book around to editors. To my delight, it sold! Suddenly I was a Love Inspired author! Though it took me almost 30 years, I’d achieved my dream of writing for Harlequin.

Going back around to Finding Her Amish Home I hope you’ll want to pick up a copy and discover the secret Maddie’s been keeping…

With love and light,

Pamela

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

 

Title: Far From Home 
Author: Mabel Ninan 
Publisher: Iron Stream 
Release Date: July 12, 2022 
Genre: Christian / Non-Fiction / Spiritual Growth

Explore the intersection between culture, identity, and faith in this new release from an earthly immigrant who gained a spiritual perspective.

What is my purpose? Why do I exist? A sense of self and belonging are two questions many of us struggle to answer. 

 And what if you are a foreigner in another land? 

 How does one adjust to a new culture? Discover their place in a new society?

 For Mabel Ninan, born and raised in India and an immigrant in America shortly after marriage, the search for those answers sent her on a journey that led to an unexpected and exciting discovery. 

 God revealed she was not only an earthly immigrant but also a spiritual one, created with a unique calling to impact His kingdom. Mabel’s renewed perspective imbued her with joy and hope, urging her to share the message with others. 

 Drawing from her personal experiences and by examining the lives of biblical heroes, Mabel sheds light on what it means to live as a citizen of Heaven on earth. Far from Home will inspire you to: 

 • Embrace your identity as a foreigner on earth. 

 • Make your home with God. 

 • Find community and common purpose with fellow sojourners.

EXCERPT


Paul reminds us that “this world in its present form is passing away” (1 Corinthians 7:31), and that “outwardly we [too] are wasting away” (2 Corinthians 4:16). Our relationship with God and our future with Him, however, are certain and long-lasting. So then let us not get caught up in worldly affairs, and let us not give our physical bodies and earthly homes undue importance. We can ask God to “teach us to number our days” (Psalm 90:12) so we can live wisely between mortality and immortality with the blessed hope of heaven bubbling over from our hearts.

Our immigrant identity reminds us that we are simply passing through and that each step on this journey is taking us closer to our eternal home. Our God-given heavenly citizenship informs us of the connectedness between our testimony on earth and our glory in heaven. What a privilege it is to know that our actions on earth can be worthy of treasures in heaven! What a joy in knowing that mere humans like us can participate in God’s plans on earth and make our home with Him in the heavenly realms!

Review: An Amish Harvest by Beth Wiseman, Amy Clipston, Kathleen Fuller, Vannetta Chapman


My rating: 4 stars / I really liked it



Synopsis

Faith, hope, and love remain forever in season in this collection of four richly absorbing novellas set amidst the wonder of an Amish autumn.

Under the Harvest Moon by Beth Wiseman
When Naomi Dienner is suddenly widowed, she never expects to find love again . . . until she meets Brock Mulligan, an English family friend hired at harvest time. As a sinister presence begins to threaten Naomi, Brock seeks to prove himself trustworthy while struggling with growing feelings for Naomi and her children. Will God open Naomi’s heart—and give Brock his own second chance at love?

Love and Buggy Rides by Amy Clipston
Janie Lantz is a cashier at Lancaster Souvenirs and Buggy Rides, where Jonathan Stoltfuz is a buggy driver. A frightening accident brings Janie and Jonathan together in a blossoming friendship, yet daunting obstacles stand between them and something deeper. Can love kindle into flames that burn away fear and regret—and lead them to a life together?

A Quiet Love by Kathleen Fuller 
Dinah Hochstetler, quiet and bookish, longs for marriage but hides in her shyness. Amos Mullett, a simple farmer, knows he’s different but aches for a loving wife. As Dinah and Amos navigate a budding romance, will the power of love—and the blessing of God—be enough to overcome their doubters?
 
Mischief in the Autumn Air by Vannetta Chapman 
When items start going above market value at his auction house, Eli Wittmer is first thrilled, and then puzzled. But when the pieces are linked to an elderly couple in their district, Eli and his new bookkeeper, Martha Beiler track down a trail of clues. Will they solve the mystery before the fall festival ends—and discover an unexpected new love?

My Review

Under the Harvest Moon by Beth Wiseman- 4 stars
I was interested in seeing how a non-Amish man and Amish woman would strike up a friendship and be able to have a future together. Naomi suffered domestic abuse in silence, and Brock was a good contrast for her to experience after her husband died. Without expecting anything in return, he provides support and validation when she trusts him with her secret. I enjoyed how their relationship progressed in a natural manner.
 
Love and Buggy Rides by Amy Clipston- 2 stars
This author is hit and miss with me. I liked the characters at first, but then grew impatient with the cliché angst and drama. Skimmed until I could find out how the plot wrapped up.

A Quiet Love by Kathleen Fuller- 5 stars
My favorite of the collection! Dinah and Amos are so incredibly genuine and sweet together. I loved how the author made me care about them right away, and being in the head of Amos who has some degree of autism was eye-opening. Dinah is a true friend and has confidence in him, defending him against those in his family who have known him so much longer but not seeing how much he has grown. There is some lovely romantic tension as their attraction blossoms along with their friendship.

Mischief in the Autumn Air by Vannetta Chapman- 3 stars
The romance in this story took a backseat to the mystery of the furniture that auctioned at a much higher price than they were valued. Martha's relationship with her irritable aunt is also part of the story as she seeks to have more patience and love for her. Interesting plot, but would have been more compelling with greater chemistry between the leads.

Review: Love in Plain Sight by Kathleen Fuller


My rating: 5 stars / It was amazing



Synopsis

She has a secret she’s determined to keep. He’s just as determined to get to know her. These two strong wills clash in beautiful romantic sparks in this Amish rom-com.

Katherine Miller arrives in Birch Creek under the guise of looking for a husband, but really she is hiding a secret she can’t reveal. The small Amish town becomes the perfect place to wait until she can figure out her next move. But when Ezra Bontrager is hired as the Stoll Inn’s new handyman, she at first finds his interest in her annoying. The one time she needs men to ignore her, she can’t seem to shake this one—and try as she might, she eventually can’t help but find his persistence endearing.

Ezra has never been shy when it comes to making friends, and he’s determined to get to know the elusive Katherine a little better. What he doesn’t count on is falling for her or discovering the real reason she’s hiding in Birch Creek.


My Review

I love getting to know this author's characters- they come to life with personality and I'm always drawn into their story. I loved Ezra's steadfastness in befriending Katherine! She definitely needed someone who wouldn't give up when she put up walls, and she needed a true friend more than anyone. The town matchmakers add humor to the story with their antics as they "help" Ezra and Katherine's relationship. The emotion of the story is real as both Katherine and Rhoda are healing from abusive relationships, growing stronger and finding new perspective. Rhoda and Loren's situation has been a subplot through the series, and it was nice to see the unexpected resolution of their troubles. A wonderful story of healing with a good dose of sweet romance! Loved it!

Her Cowboy Wedding Date JustRead Blog + Review Blitz

Welcome to the Blog + Review Blitz for Her Cowboy Wedding Date by Cari Lynn Webb, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

 

ABOUT THE BOOK

 
Her Cowboy Wedding Date
Title: Her Cowboy Wedding date 
Series: Three Springs Texas 
Author: Cari Lynn Webb
Publisher: Harlequin Heartwarming 
Release Date: June 2022 
Genre: Sweet Contemporary Romance   

Could this cowboy… Be her wedding date?

Maid of honor Tess Palmer has two weeks to plan her cousin’s wedding. She will do anything to make the ceremony perfect…even if it means wrangling best man Carter Sloan’s help. The cynical cowboy would rather focus on his business than wedded bliss, and widowed Tess isn’t looking for a second chance at love. But could planning a trip down the aisle bring the two of them together?   


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

EXCERPT

 
Carter made her the dangerous kind of curious. The kind that tempted her to take chances. To risk more than she should.

He touched one finger to the brim of his hat. “’Night, Tess.”

Her heart raced. She wanted to kiss him again. She wanted to push him away. “Careful, cowboy, or I’m going to think you’re running scared now.”

“Not scared.” His gaze softened. “Call it self-preservation.”

“What does that mean?” she asked.

“It means you make me consider breaking promises.” Carter spoke so casually and so clearly. As if that truth was as indisputable as the change of seasons every year. “And that, Tess Palmer, makes you a wildcard. And wildcards are game changers.”

With that, he tipped his hat and walked away.

And Tess folded her hand. After all, she’d vowed never to let her heart go all in ever again.

Review: The Mistletoe Countess by Pepper Basham


My rating: 5 stars / It was amazing



Synopsis

Will the magic of Christmas bring these two newlyweds closer together, or will the ghosts of the past lead them into a destructive discovery from which not even a Dickens’s Christmas can save them?

Mistletoe is beautiful and dangerous, much like the woman from Lord Frederick’s Percy’s past, so when he turns over a new leaf and arranges to marry for his estate, instead of his heart, he never expects the wrong bride to be the right choice. Gracelynn Ferguson never expected to take her elder sister’s place as a Christmas bride, but when she’s thrust into the choice, she will trust in her faithful novels and overactive imagination to help her not only win Frederick’s heart but also to solve the murder mystery of Havensbrook Hall before the ghosts from Frederick’s past ruin her fairytale future.


My Review

Grace is absolutely delightful! Her personality is so vivid, and she really carried the story as she brought light into Frederick's life. I loved how he allowed himself to be vulnerable with her as he began to trust her, and she didn't let him down, providing support, encouragement, and validation. They have fabulous chemistry from the start- beginning with friendship and quickly developing into something more, especially as their circumstances shift in unexpected ways. Aside from their unusual relationship, there is a suspenseful mystery to be solved, which Grace takes to with enthusiasm. I admired her self-confidence and determination in the face of adversity which comes in a variety of ways. I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet romance with elements of faith and adventure!

Book Tour & Review: To Kiss a Wallflower by Jen Geigle Johnson, Heather B. Moore, Anneka R. Walker




 
My rating: 5 stars / It was amazing



Synopsis

To Kiss a Wallflower is the nineteenth book in the Timeless Regency Collection, a bestselling anthology series from Mirror Press. The book features three novellas from acclaimed historical romance authors whose stories reveal that eventually, all wallflowers will have their chance at love . . . This is where it begins.

The Wallflower’s Dance by Jen Geigle Johnson
Lottie Hughes likes people, as long as they aren't too close. Does it bother her that no one asks her to dance? Yes, but she's not sure how to drum up dance partners when she has almost no dowry, no title, and freezes up when anyone tries to talk to her. When she suddenly inherits a huge amount and is the new center of attention all over London, her secret dreams might come true but also her worst nightmares. Suddenly everyone wants to talk to her. Men ask her to dance. And she is inundated with interested suitors. She fights to stay close to the few friends she knows are true. One man saw her before her life changed forever. But does she want to accept his help when he, too, might be insincere?

Letters to a Wallflower by Heather B. Moore  
Ellen might be beautiful and considered a diamond of the first water by Society, but she is so very tired of the pressure to marry a titled gentleman so that her beauty won’t go to waste. When her cousin Dinah dares Ellen to attend a ball with no frills and to stand with the wallflowers, Ellen takes on the dare. What’s in the wager for her? The prize cuttings of her aunt’s extraordinary roses. But what Ellen isn’t expecting is Lord Ravenshire to engage her in the most interesting conversation. When she confesses to him of her opposition in marrying for a title, he confesses his distaste of the London scene. They strike a bargain together, one which will either push them apart or lead to a future sweeter than either of them could have imagined.

To Marry a Wallflower by Anneka R. Walker
Charlotte Winters is destined to spinsterhood until she turns down an unwanted proposal and everything changes. With gossip rampant, her father attempts to salvage her reputation by betrothing her to another. Soon she is sent off to her aunt’s to meet Lord Templeton, her intended. Anxiety-ridden, Charlotte begs her aunt to let her observe Lord Templeton from afar before their introduction. She never planned to pretend to be her fictional cousin to learn more about him, or to fall in love with Lord Templeton’s friend in the process. Lord Templeton dreads returning to the empty halls of Newcliff Manor. When his father’s old friend, Mr. Winters reaches out for assistance, Lord Templeton finds himself returning home engaged to a woman he has never met. Desperate to learn more about Miss Winters, he befriends her cousin. He wouldn’t have spoken to her, or lied about his identity, if he’d known the quiet woman would sneak into his heart.

My Review


I'm always anticipating the next collection from Timeless Regency and this one did not disappoint! I loved the wallflower theme since I'm a bit shy myself (less so since marrying my extrovert husband) and it was easy to relate to these women. I enjoyed the three stories equally and it was a pleasure to read the unique situations of each wallflower. It's the little details and mannerisms that make them come to life with some humor and the sweet romance that leaves me with a smile on my face. The first story is the my younger self could identify with the most- freezing up with awkwardness, relying on close friends. I think friendship is the most wonderful foundation for a relationship! The second story was the most fun, with witty banter and some competition. Loved that the roses are the motivation for her to take the bet and disguise herself. The last story brought the most humor with the mistaken identities of the couple trying to learn more about each other surreptitiously, when they actually are interacting with each other unknowingly! A highly satisfying reading experience, recommend to fans of sweet Regency romance.
