The Gift of Christmas Past – a Litfuse Review
Introduction Cindy Woodsmall is well-known for her Amish fiction. I used to read Amish fiction regularly, but I've taken a break from the genre. When I saw that she and her daughter-in-law co-authored a contemporary novel, I was interested! The Gift of Christmas Past quickly introduces the reader into the worlds of teenage foster child Hadley and rich teen Monroe. Hadley finds herself in a position that no foster kid wants to be, and she relies on Monroe to help her escape. When the situation ...
True To You – a Netgalley Review
True to form, Becky Wade has utterly drawn me in with another ridiculously well-written story. She amazes me.

Prior to this novel, there's a prequel/novella entitled Then Came You (which is CURRENTLY--as of ...
The Writing Desk – a Rachel Hauck Team Review
This summer has been insane. This review is coming late, late, late, late. I had everything in the world happen at the time I was supposed to review The Writing Desk. Car accident happened. Then Ocular rosacea--corneal inflammation, affected vision--couldn't read without getting a migraine. Both vehicles needed repairs (not at once, though!) and went to the shop. Braces for one child. Four wisdom teeth surgically removed for another child. In five weeks. The last two weeks, I've been working on ...
Trust My Heart Review & Giveaway
Trust My Heart, written by Carol J. Post, was a really fun read! If you're looking for a contemporary Christian romance that is light-hearted and fun, definitely give this one your time! I was drawn in because of the heroine's name Jami. It is rare to see my own name in a book. After I decided that the book description sounded good, I wanted to read Trust My Heart! The two main characters, Grant and Jami, seemed like real people. Both had flaws (oh boy--don't get me started on Grant!) that ...
