Shepherd’s Fall Review

Cara reviews; 2 Comments

I adored Wanda’s series of books for Barbour and have eagerly awaited her latest release, Shepherd’s Fall. This book is different from her earlier series – there’s no psychic turned Christian and the sidekick is not a police detective. Instead, the star of Shepherd’s Fall is Nick Shepherd, owner of Prodigal Recovery Agency and the lead bounty-hunter. If you have …

They were right. And Deeanne has done it again with A Bride in the Bargain. I’m not allowing myself to read much right now because …

Enduring Justice Review, Interview & giveaway

Cara giveaway, reviews; 16 Comments

I loved this book! Amy does not write easy stories. Instead, her characters deal with real life issues in very real ways. But each book is over shadowed by God’s amazing grace. This books shows that even more than the prior two. Her characters are real — the kind you want to sit down and share a cup of coffee …
