Writer in Residence + Giveaway

From beloved author Rhonda McKnight comes a new story of faith, history, and the power of legacy that merges the romance of The Bookshop Sisterhoodwith the rich low-country setting of Mary Alice Monroe.

Alexandra Chambers is a writer who has run out of words. Struggling with writers’ block and the pressure to secure a new book deal, she wins a week in a writer-friendly cabin through a drawing held at a local literacy center. When the noise of home threatens to drown out her words, Alexandra heads to the cabin. What she finds is far more than she expected–a vibrant community brimming with inspiration, a past steeped in history and culture, and a man who both intrigues and unsettles her.

Gabe Scott, a bestselling author and the former writer-in-residence, is everything Alexandra feels she’s not–acclaimed, award-winning, and unshakably confident. When their paths cross at the center, his literary brilliance and dedication to helping struggling Gullah students stir feelings Alexandra isn’t ready to confront. Though undeniably attracted to him, Alexandra wrestles with the fear that her books pale beside his celebrated work, and that Taylor, a pretty aspiring novelist, may be exactly the kind of writer who belongs in his world.

When a surprising discovery unearths family history no one expected, her muse is reignited. With the quiet wisdom of Ma Kate, an elderly Gullah cleaning woman, Alexandra finds the strength to forgive truths long withheld, embrace her voice, and write the story only she can tell.

My Review:

McKnight’s storytelling is exquisite – from word choice to depth of character to the inspirational elements – so emotionally impactful.

Having a writer heroine is a dream and I love the honest look we get at both the highs and lows of the publishing industry. This book celebrates the power of story both the written and the lived experience. It’s full of rich cultural history and the complexities of family life. The generational aftermath of dysfunction. Tender relationships threatened by truths long buried. How familial connections reach through decades to play a part in the present day. So profound and thought provoking!

Alex’s family mystery is fascinating. I was so invested in her genealogical pursuits and frustrated and impatient right along with her. But it’s also a journey of self-discovery as she struggles to find her place in the midst of change, both personal and professional.

There are so many inspiring words of wisdom from beloved characters, especially Miss Kate. An octogenarian wonder of resiliency and hope and good old fashioned common sense! Still smiling (and weeping a bit) over this noble lady’s life story. She plays a pivotal role in Alex’s reckoning with herself and her past.

And if all this scope for emotional drama doesn’t hook you, our hero Gabe most certainly will. Swoon! Alex is often discombobulated in his presence and it was so much fun to see that lighter side of her personality. Gabe isn’t in any hurry; his pursuit is slow, almost lazy, but oh so deliberate. And mercy, the teasing banter with sultry hints of tension are enough to spike an unsuspecting reader’s blood pressure. Be still my heart! Keep some smelling salts handy for the duration of the read.

Or listen, in my case. I so enjoyed Bahni Turpin’s narration. She became these characters, presenting all of them with unique easily identifiable voices. From Miss Kate’s wavering tremour to the the recalcitrant teenage voices of the students at the literacy centre, and everything in between. I especially appreciated hearing the hints of the Gullah language. Such an enriching listening experience. Would highly recommend the audio book to discerning listeners.

Dead Silence + Giveaway

Random Retro Read

Political games can be deadly…
 
Elise Carmichael is a court sign language interpreter who reads lips all the time. As a widow with a young son who is deaf, lip reading is simply second nature, until the day she reads the lips of someone on the phone discussing an attempt to be made on a senator’s life—a senator who just happens to be her mother-in-law.

Before she can decide what she needs to do, she receives the information that her son is rushed to the ER and she must leave. Then she later sees the news report that her mother-in-law has been shot and killed.

But when she comes forward, her life, as well as her son’s life, may now be in the crosshairs of the assassin.

My Review:

published in 2024

This was an impulse buy made when I was craving a good suspense and this absolutely fit the bill. Intriguing and intense with a realistic look at the investigative side of crime, as seen through the eyes of a witness/victim.

Loved the unique perspective of a lip reading heroine and the details of raising a Deaf child in a hearing world. That paired with all the suspense elements made for an unputdownable read.

Tension mounts as Elise grows more desperate to uncover the truth. The FBI is very much leading the investigation but Elise is feisty and stubborn and conducts her own clandestine sleuthing. Lots of conflict and heart-in-throat moments ensue as the lethal combination of corruption and politics threaten her little family.

I listened to the audio book narrated by Pamela Klein who did a great job of drawing out the tension and creating emotionally charged scenes. A riveting listening experience.

The Bachelor Spy + Giveaway

Spies Infiltrate Havensbooke Hall. . .and Another Mystery Adventure Begins

Stephen Blake’s life goal is to protect people, especially those closest to him, but war in 1915 England doesn’t follow any rules. When Blake is informed that a noted German spy may have taken up residence at Havensbrooke Hall—his cousin Lord Astley’s estate, which is being used as a convalescent war hospital—he’s sent there to uncover the plot.

Lady Grace Astley has become a force to be reckoned with while Frederick is out on the war front. With Havensbrooke as a hospital, she’s shocked by the devastation the war is bringing home; but ever hopeful, she is determined to help these weary soldiers find some relief. However, not everything is as it seems inside Havensbrooke. Precious items soon start disappearing. . .and not just the kind that are worth a lot of money.

Through a case of mistaken identity, a comedy of errors, a kidnapping, and a race for time within the crumbling subterranean passageways beneath Havensbrooke, can Blake and Gracie work together to root out the criminals, thieves, and spies before time runs out?

My Review:

Well, I’m kind of gutted that it’s all over now though, as far as series conclusions go, this one is brilliant. All the action and intrigue we’ve come to expect from Freddie and Grace, only we’re getting Stephen’s story as well. And oh my goodness, that opening scene – jaw dropping. I didn’t know how he’d ever come back from that!

Fast forward a few months and Stephen turns up at Havensbrooke Hall which has been turned into a convalescent hospital. I found parts of this story heartbreaking because of the war setting. For four books I’ve been glorying in Freddie and Grace’s happily ever after, adventurous though it may be. But now war has raised its ugly head and Freddie is called to serve and Grace is manage heart and home and a hospital that might also contain a German spy.

Basham does a wonderful job of infusing warmth and humour in among the more dire plot points. Grace’s bookish musings are just as delightful and Stephen’s romance is…unorthodox! Lots of page-turning goodness to keep a reader fixated on the story until the kind of humorous/tender conclusion Basham is known for. Happy, happy sigh. Definitely a series I will revisit again.

The Lumberjack From the Cabin Next Door + Giveaway

Welcome to Maple Bay—where bucket lists are sacred, small-town gossip travels at Wi-Fi speed, and your next-door neighbor might just ruin your plans in the most inconveniently charming way possible.

Kate only came back to Maple Bay for two 

Handle her late Aunt June’s will.

Leave again before anyone ropes her into some quaint, small-town matchmaking scheme.

But June’s “Not-So-Ordinary Bucket List” has other ideas. Written in floral stationery (coffee stains included), it’s full of items like dance under the stars, try a maple bacon donut, and kiss someone who makes you laugh. Kate’s convinced she can speed-run the list, check every box, and get back to her big-city life—without getting attached.

Enter Harper—the bakery owner with a crown of blonde curls, the matchmaking instincts of a rom-com best friend, and a habit of stealing Kate’s phone to save her number under names like Muffin Dealer / Life Coach. And then there’s Eli—Kate’s gruff, flannel-wearing neighbor who’s supposed to be a lumberjack but somehow also… sketches like an illustrator and flies planes for a reclusive billionaire.

The more Kate gets tangled in June’s list—and the more breakfasts, donuts, and accidental heart-to-hearts she shares with Eli—the harder it is to keep her walls intact. But when her estranged mother shows up with plans to help her sell the cabin, Kate has to decide if she’s willing to fight for the roots she never meant to grow… and for the man who somehow ended up starring in her next novel.

Filled with laugh-out-loud banter, faith woven in the cracks, and a romance sweeter than Harper’s cinnamon rolls, this small-town romantic comedy is about finding home in the last place you expected—and choosing to stay there.

My Review:

Well, this was totally unexpected. I mean, the book came highly recommended by a reader I trust so I knew I’d enjoy it…I just wasn’t prepared for the impact it made on me. Like being smothered in a big old bookish hug that squashed the stuffing out of me! 🙂

Because my emotions were immediately engaged despite, or maybe because, of all the hilarity. Rom/com brilliance cloaked in clever storytelling and descriptive phrasing that zings. “The trail started sweet – flat and pine-needly and very “look at me, I’m nature” – and then immediately decided to impersonate a StairMaster invented by a personal trainer with unresolved issues.”

This book was a delight to read and my copy is now mired in tabs to mark the passages I knew I would want to revisit. Colour coded even, for inspirational, snippets of wisdom, romantical and good old snazzy zingers. First time I’ve ever annotated a fiction book but the phrasing was just too luscious not to!

So, the comedy part of the story is vibrantly descriptive and full of rapid fire banter that’s laugh out loud funny. But there’s a quieter side too because Kate is on a “scavenger hunt for grace” that totally transforms this book into something much more than a rom/com.

It’s about grieving loss and finding faith; reconciliation and forgiveness. It’s messy and awkward and just a little bit heartbreaking. But hopeful too. Because Kate’s Aunt June’s wisdom lives on in her well worn bible, her written words and the memories kept alive by the people who loved her.

“June told me once that forgiveness never starts with can. It starts with can’t. You tell God you can’t do it, and He doesn’t argue. He helps.”

And the romance…oh my! Slow burn. Patient. Gentle. Expectant. Eli is the epitome of book boyfriend material. My toes haven’t quite uncurled all the way yet, but that might be because I keep revisiting the swoony bits.

“The Lumberjack From the Cabin Next Door” is my first Emily Hampton book, but it definitely won’t be my last! On the hunt for her backlist now!

Last Chance Hero + Giveaway

random retro reread

The inhabitants of Last Chance, New Mexico, could not be more pleased. Dr. Jessica McLeod has opened an office right on Main Street. Andy Ryan, the best athlete the little town ever produced, has ended his short career in the NFL and has come home to coach the mighty Pumas of Last Chance High. Unfortunately, Dr. Jess immediately gets off on the wrong foot when she admits that she’s never seen a football game, isn’t really interested in doing so, and, in fact, doesn’t know a first down from a home run. Meanwhile, Coach Ryan is discovering that it’s not easy to balance atop the pedestal the town has put him on. When this unlikely pair is drawn together over the future of a young player–whose gifts may lie in the laboratory rather than on the football field–they begin to wonder if they might have a future together as well.

My Review:

published in 2015

A heartwarming conclusion to the A Place to Call Home series though, rest assured, you don’t need to read the other books to enjoy this one, though I got a kick out of stepping back into Last Chance and renewing acquaintances with some beloved quirky characters..

Full disclosure: I am not a football fan. At all. Know nothing about it. Don’t want to and yet, I not only read a book where football was practically a secondary character , I enjoyed it! It might have helped that the heroine is likeminded so it was easy to cheer Jessica on. We bonded over our lack of interest in this crazy sport that takes over the nation every year. So many funny scenes as residents realize that Jess really doesn’t know a thing about the game. And worse — she doesn’t want to. Scandalous!

So of course the hero is a former NFL player and the high school football coach who can’t comprehend anyone not loving the sport. I won’t hold that against Andy though because he’s kind-hearted and chivalrous and well…kind of a hunk. His small-town friendly doesn’t quite jive with Jessica’s big city reserve. Great learning curve for both of them as they adjust to their differences.

A sweet romance with a whole lot of small-town heart.

Twilight Tactics

FBI agent Collin Sullivan arrives at Broken Chains Ranch with Ollie Callahan–a foster teen and sole witness to a mob hit. The ranch, started by Collin’s cousin to provide a trauma recovery facility for veterans, should be a place he can keep Ollie safe until the trial. But what was meant as a peaceful haven becomes a battleground when armed attackers surround the property. 

Survival expert Elena Thompson teaches wilderness skills at the ranch and coaches Ollie in self-defense, but soon the series of attacks on the ranch escalates into a full siege. The question is, Who are the attackers after? Ollie, the young witness? Or Elena, with her mysterious past? Cut off from help by tech skills superior to their own, Collin and Elena fight to keep everyone alive as secrets and danger close in.

USA Today bestselling author Lynette Eason presents an action-packed start to a new series with twists and turns readers will never see coming.

My Review:

I’m gobsmacked. The way Eason builds the suspense throughout this book is phenomenal! So many intriguing elements and Elena’s backstory is a huge component of the plot that adds even more compelling layers. And the way Collin and Elena’s worlds collide increases the over all thrill of the read.

Argh, there’s so much I want to say but won’t for fear of spoilers but I know that if I mentioned just one of things I want to talk about, so many readers would flock to this story! But I won’t, ’cause that isn’t revealed in the book blurb. Picture me writhing in the bibliophile agony of wanting to share a favourite part of the book but unable to because there are people close by who haven’t read it yet. Excruciating!

We’re also given a third point of view, young witness in need of protection Ollie, who brings some youthful zest and poignant moments to the story. Honestly, the way this all plays out is absolute perfection. From connecting with the characters (and me yearning for their romance) to puzzling out the mysteries (yes there is more than one) and all the action scenes. Simply stunning! And if that wasn’t enough, the heartwarming celebration of grace seals the deal. Eason at her absolute best.

I listened to the audible edition of ‘Twilight Tactics’ and thoroughly enjoyed Emma Faye’s narration. She brought the story to life with her emotional performance. I hung on every word. Made for a compulsive listening experience.

Daughters of the Wreckage + Giveaway

A woman searching for answers in her own life finds them–and much more–in the wreckage and haunting stories of one of the most infamous maritime disasters in history.

Shortly before Christmas in 2018, Tess McCarthy, after years as a hard-working English teacher who never did anything out of the ordinary, flies to Western Australia’s remote Abrolhos Islands. She is in search of answers–both to the infamous Batavia shipwreck and her personal family crises.

Amsterdam, 1628. Saskia, an orphaned young Dutchwoman, boards Batavia with relatives, bound for a new and potentially dangerous life in the East Indies–only for her world to first collide with Aris Jansz, the ship’s taciturn under surgeon.

Tess, Saskia, and Aris–their lives linked by secrets that span generations–carry the baggage of past losses and the uncertainty of their futures. And, in the most unlikely circumstances, they may find qualities that echo through faith, acceptance, and love.

My Review:

Gritty and gut wrenching. An emotional roller coaster of a read that highlights a particularly brutal piece of maritime history off the coast of Australia. The author does an incredible job of bringing those 1628 events to life through a combination of fictional characters and actual historical figures.

In this dual timeline novel we follow three characters, Saskia and Aris in the 1600s and 2ist century Tess who is honouring the memory of her recently deceased father by finishing up a historical paper he was writing about the shipwreck of the Batavia.

And oh my, is that history riveting…but not for the faint of heart. So this is your mature content warning which includes graphic scenes of violence. I had the opportunity to listen to the audio narration of ‘Daughters of the Wreckage’ (more about that later) and I had to stop listening periodically and read a rom/com or a light cozy mystery to lighten my mood before continuing the audio book.

Koens’ writing is lyrical, her descriptions not only painting a picture in my mind, but filling me up with emotions. I definitely felt my way through this book, particularly through the historical timeline. Honestly, Tess’s struggles seemed so paltry when compared to what her ancestors endured, so I definitely connected with the 1600 era characters and events more.

I enjoyed the three POV storytelling, particularly with the distinctive voices of three narrators to bring these characters to life. Kristy Best, Jessica Spies and Angus McGruther gave amazing performances. In fact, given the number of foreign names, accents, etc, the narration really compliments Koens’ compelling storytelling.

When the Silence Breaks + Giveaway

When intelligence analyst Sarah Ellison learns of a deathbed confession connected to her brother’s murder, she’s determined to protect her remaining family. Under further investigation, she discovers the disclosed information points to a decades-old government secret buried deep in the Cascade Mountains. With this knowledge, she heads to the Pacific Northwest looking for a guide who knows the mountains like the back of their hand.

Ryder Goodwin, a wilderness guide and former Navy SEAL, quit guiding for the family business after his father’s death in a tragic mountain accident. At first, Ryder refuses to help Sarah, but he sees the trouble chasing her, and he can’t stand by while someone brings danger to this small-town mountain community.

Ryder and Sarah gear up to climb the mountain in a race against time and a looming winter storm. With her brother’s killer closing in, their search for answers now shifts to a survival mission. Their only chance to make it out involves trusting each other and confronting the truth no one wants them to find.

Be swept away in a rush of adrenaline with USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard’s series opener set in the Pacific Northwest.

My Review:

So much intrigue! And gasp out loud moments! Seriously I was, “Gasp! Nooooooo!” and “Gasp! Whhhaaaatttt?” and “Gasp! Don’t do it…..” and “Gasp! I knew it!” all the way through which made for an immensely fun and thrilling read.

Loved the mystery surrounding Sarah’s backstory in comparison to Ryder’s which we learn earlier on. It made such a compelling contrast and I was itching to know Sarah’s ‘all’! Dreading it too because I could see the potential for conflict raising its ugly head. And, oh my goodness, the surprises kept coming!

The mountain setting is incredible. Honestly, the mountain felt like an important secondary character. Ryder’s connection with the varied aspects of nature and weather and the secrets the mountain holds added even more interesting layers to an already complex story. So, lots of hair-raising adventuring to accompany the spine-chilling suspense elements. Oh, and the mystery! Decades old and absolutely lethal! If you looked up ‘unputdownable’ in the dictionary, this book cover would be the definition.

‘When the Silence Breaks’ was another audio ‘read’ for me and Natalia Payne’s narration enhanced my over all enjoyment of the story. She knows how to emote tension and endless emotion through her portrayal of these characters. Made for a riveting listening experience.

Rodeo Witness Protector

While stopping an attack near the rodeo grounds, bullfighter and part-time deputy Daniel Sinclair is stunned to see his high school sweetheart attempting to save a stabbed undercover deputy. As a witness now in possession of crucial evidence about a narcotics investigation, new rodeo doctor Annie Davis needs Daniel’s protection—for her and her missing four-year-old daughter. And the stakes only grow higher when the girl’s babysitter is found murdered and the recovered child refuses to speak. To safeguard the targeted family, can Daniel uncover who is behind it all…before a drug ring silences them for good?

My Review:

Whoa! This is one twisty-turny suspense with enough romantical angst to keep a reader on edge right through to the end. And the child in peril element adds to a sensitive reader’s emotional turmoil! Riveting from start to finish.

I listened to the audio book and Tanya Saari did a wonderful job of capturing all the emotion and angst in her narration. Her performance added an extra thrill to an already exciting story.

My thanks to HarperCollins, Harlequin Audio and Net Galley for providing me with an audio copy of this book.

Forevermore + Giveaay

Random Retro Re-Read

There’s no one quite like Hope Ladley.

A veritable dandelion in the wind, she blows from one farm to the next, roaming the Texas countryside as an itinerant cook. When she rides her mule, Hattie, onto the Stauffer farm, Hope knows this is the place the Lord wants her to be.

Jakob Stauffer, though grateful for a cook to assist his pregnant sister and young daughter through harvest, is baffled by Hope’s unconventional methods as she gets things done around the farm. Yet he can’t deny the way her sunny disposition and unstinting love make changes of a different kind…even within his own heart.

My Review:

published in 2008

Hope has to be one of the most innovative characters I have ever met in the pages of book! Part of her charm is the way she mangles idioms on a regular basis. And I’m in awe at how many idioms the author came up with and then found ways to twist them into hilarious faux pas that ironically make sense and Hope blithely spews them throughout the whole book. Absolutely brilliant! Not only funny and endearing, but such a clever way for a reader to connect with a character.

I love the whole premise of Hope bringing healing change. She’s a ‘magical’ character, kind of like a Mary Poppins on a grander scale. And maybe a fairy godmother with common sense. Not to mention Amelia Bedevil for the older set. 🙂 I don’t think my descriptions can do justice to Hope. She’s exceptionally unique and you just need to meet her for yourself.
