April Love Inspired Releases + Giveaway

Sadly, I’ve struggled to read print editions of the Love Inspired lines for awhile now. Has anyone else noticed how the ink has gotten fainter post COVID? Or maybe it’s just my wonky eyes. I have been having vision issues when it comes to smaller print and especially reading from a screen so ebooks are out. Until that gets sorted(hopefully), I’m going to stop getting Love Inspired books. The struggle to read robs all the joy out of the story! 😦

Luckily some of their books are offered on audible now, mostly in the Suspense line, and at a very affordable price so I grab up all I can. I have 11 preordered but only 3 of those are Love Inspired. The number of audio books have been increasing over the last year so I’m hoping more will become available in the future.

I still want to support the authors though, so I am starting a Love Inspired and Love Inspired Suspense monthly new releases giveaway. Separate days for each line. I’ll list all the books and synopsis in a post and you can choose which book you would like to win if your name is drawn.

FOR THIS GIVEAWAY: Choose ONE of the April Love Inspired books listed below, add the title to a comment (or in an email – kavluvstoreadATyahooDOTca) and if your name is drawn, that’s the book you will win.

April Love Inspired Releases

A Father’s Vow by Chris Maday Schmidt — His daughter is his priority…but is there room for one more? Dedicated to protecting his daughter and the town of Sweetwater, widower Constable Jack Wells will do anything to stop the vandalism at their beloved wildlife preserve—even partner with its new veterinarian. But fighting his attraction to Emerson Parker might be the greater challenge. Soon their on-duty stakeouts evolve into off-duty family outings. But with heartbreak in his past, is he ready to risk a second chance?

An Unconventional Amish Pair by Emma Miller — From two different worlds…Can they find their place together? When her employer’s son returns after eight years living with the Englisch, Henrietta Koffman fears she’ll lose her home renovation job—but ends up with a helper instead. Chandler Gingerich doesn’t mind taking orders from Henry, and soon neither can deny their attraction or the underlying problem—Chandler isn’t Amish. Recovering from an alcohol addiction, he fears he can never be Amish again. With a little faith, can an unlikely pair become a perfect match? 

Bonding With the Babies by Deb Kastner — The one who got away came back…and she brought a twin surprise with her. After she rejected his public proposal, Frost Winslow didn’t expect to see Zoey Lane again—with his infant twins in tow. Now Frost is determined to do right by his babies. But when the emotional support dog he’s training keeps gravitating toward Zoey, it’s clear she’s hiding something more. As Frost grows into his new role as daddy, could a real family be in their future?

His Unexpected Grandchild by Myra Johnson — This toddler will steal his heart Just in time to open it… The last thing Lane Bromley wants is to leave his remote mountain cabin. But when his struggling daughter shows up with a grandson he didn’t know he had, Lane’s search for the boy’s father leads him to the other surprise, veterinarian Julia Frasier. They can’t seem to agree on anything, but maybe they can find common ground long enough to create a loving environment for their grandchild…and each other.

The Amish Baker’s Secret Courtship by Amy Grochowski — A promise brought him home…will a pretend courtship make him stay? Cassie Weaver dreams of opening a bakery—but that dream hinges on her good friend Martin Beiler. Martin once fled their Amish community due to his struggles with autism. Now he’s back to fulfill his promise to help Cassie set up her longed-for bakeshop. But when everyone suspects they are secretly courting, Cassie encourages the matchmaking. Because she’s hoping she can convince Martin this is where he truly belongs…

The Cowboy’s Return by Danica Favourite — To give their daughter a home, can they move on from their past? Leaving his troubled past behind, Luke Christianson returns to his hometown to care for his grandmother—and discovers he’s a father. Now he’s determined to make amends and do right by his family, but Maddie Anter—the mother of his child—is on her own road to redemption. As Luke gets to know his daughter, he and Maddie grow closer. Could old feelings reignite, or will a family conflict stand in their way?

  1. Good morning Kav, like you prefer audible now I prefer ebooks.

    However, my intrepid reporter side will not be pushed down 😉 I did want to weigh in on the LI issues. I got an early review book and was surprised to see along with the new cover design the book is bigger. Other readers must have mentioned not seeing it well so now the paper is whiter. I emailed you pictures of both so you could see what I’m talking about. I think the larger print edition along with the new size and bright white would really make it easier for all of us older readers to see.

    After saying all that, I love trying new authors, so I’d pick A Father’s Vow by Chris Schmit, ebook form of course, haha.

    I love that you are still supporting LI authors!

    Thanks for the giveaway! tracey14567 at gmail dot com

    1. I so soooooo appreciate the intrepid reporter side of you, Tracey! 🙂 I wonder if the new look is because this is Harlequin’s 75th birthday? Seems like they are changing things up a lot — in the lines and the website. Now I’m wondering what the larger print editions will be like in the new format. Thanks for sharing your investigative prowess! Good luck!

      1. The new LI does have a 75th anniversary red flag on the spine so it could be. I also think they are trying to keep updated to compete with all the other publishers and books Harlequin has available.

  2. Although I’d LOVE to read them all, my first choice has to be BONDING WITH THE BABIES  by Deb Kastner. How can you go wrong with babies and a K-9 pooch on the cover! Plus it’s an amazing sounding story that is already on my TBR list.

    Thank you for the the chance to win a copy!

  3. Such a hard choice!! It’s between the two Amish ones for me, but since I was eyeing the one for Readers Choice week, I’m going with:

    An Unconventional Amish Pair by Emma Miller

    1. I love Emma Miller!!! It’s kinda fun to see them all grouped together with the book blurbs, isn’t it? Easy comparison shopping…unless you want to read them all. Bwahahaha!
