Sharon Dunn, author of the Ruby Taylor mystery series, is back and frankly better than ever. The Ruby Taylor series had a sassy, first person voice that was enjoyable, but I LOVED Death of a Garage Sale Newbie. I honestly wasn’t sure when I started the book, because what could someone find at a garage sale that would be worth …

Review: Too Good to Be True
I loved Trish Perry’s debut novel, The Guy I’m Not Dating, and was thrilled when Too Good to be True released. It didn’t disappoint, even though the tone was a bit different. In Too Good to be True, Rennie Young, Kara’s best friend from the first book, is trying to move beyond her divorce. Only problem is she kept waiting …
Review: Reluctant Runaway
When I read the backcover copy for this book, I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I mean it was going to focus on Indian art from New Mexico. Quite a departure from the first book. However, from the first page I was sucked in to the mysteries that seemed to stack on top of each other. And best of …
Review: Freedom of the Soul
Don’t forget to comment to be entered in the contest! Free books are always a good thing! When I received Freedom of the Soul, I really didn’t know what to expect. The author is Tracey Bateman, so I expected a good read, but this book is part of a series that travels between different times. Those are hard to do …
Review: Ransomed Dreams
Here’s the next review in my marathon session. From the backcover:“Chained to yesterday. When tragedy strikes and Gracie Lang lost everything, her faith crumbled, and nothing but the drive for justice propelled her forward. But after two years of dead-end searching, the truth Gracie seeks is the very thing her stalker will stop at nothing to hide.“Forgiveness Unlocks the Future. …
Review: Petticoat Ranch
The West has never been so much fun! Outlaws and in-laws face off on the Texas frontier. Isn’t the cover fun! I can’t say I’ve been a fan of westerns in the past, but if Mary Connealy writes them, my opinion has changed. Mary is from Nebraska, so I’ve felt a connection to her even before we met at ACFW …
Review: Lightning & Lace
Clouds of secrets loom over a Texas town…too many people are hiding things in this town. Afraid of something or someone.Lightning and Lace is the third installment in DiAnn Mills’ Texas Legacy series. This is the only one in the series I have read so far, and she did a great job of making it stand on its own. Bonnie …
Split Ends by Kristin Billerbeck
I just finished Split Ends. And I’m kind of sad. Two days ago Split Ends, the latest book from the fabulous Kristin Billerbeck, arrived in my mailbox. I have learned that any book by Kristin is going to be a treat, so even though I had tons to do, I inhaled that book. This in between 360 miles in the …
