Historical romance loaded with humor and suspense!

For the record 

by Regina Jennings

This historical romance begins with a bang as masked men invade the town set in the Ozark Mountains of 1885.  The new deputy, Joel Packett, finds he has a lot more to contend with than just the masked men.  He comes up against newspaper woman, Betsy Huckabee and the battle begins!  The battle includes romance (of course!), humor, mystery, and vigilantes! Both Joel and Betsey learn a lot about themselves and each other as well and what makes up true heroism in life.

 Christian Fantasy At Its Best!

(Note:  The Shattered Vigil is second in a series, and you need to read the first book, called The Shock of Night  to follow this story. There is also currently a prequel called By Divine Right -available for FREE for Kindle.)

In the first book, the reader finds out how Willet Dura, the crime investigator for the King, is able to penetrate the deepest thoughts of the people he touches.  Also, the world is revealed as divided between the Gifted and the Common.  As Will pursues the most recent murder, he uncovers the evil plot that potentially threatens to destroy the very existence of the society he knows and loves.

The first books ends with a victory over the dark forces but that turns out to be just a small battle as the second book reveals the magnitude of the larger war, itself.  Will Dura is an exceptional crime fighter and, with the help of his “gift”, he is able to meet the enemy and somehow survive the near death struggles he encounters.

The well rounded characters, the nonstop action, and surprising fantasy world make these books must reads. I highly recommend The Darkwater Series by Patrick Carr.

You are there! Biblical Fiction!

This second book in the “Out from Egypt” trilogy expands on the life of the young Hebrew girl, Shira.  Author Connilyn Cossette includes details of the wilderness experience that make the readers feel that they are actually there in the beginning of the forty year journey with the Children of Israel.  Besides Shira, the story revolves around her love interest, Ayal, and her enemy, Dvorah.   There is a strong spiritual message of forgiveness and love for yourself as well as forgiveness and love for others.

This book has everything and more including action, mystery, romance, and even a little mix of comedy sprinkled throughout! 

Porter Family Series - Three brothers and One sister and FOUR very different romances!

The Porter family series is a page turner from beginning to end. Becky Wade’s characters are well rounded and totally believable as are the situations surrounding them. Each book builds on the other and continues the story with additional details as well as the timeline. That being said, it is important to read the books in order starting with Undeniably Yours , the story of the oldest of the Porter siblings, Bo Porter. Book two in the series is titled Meant to be mine and Book three is entitled A love like ours. Her One And Only is the final book in the series and while it is the story of the youngest of the siblings, 25 year old Dru Porter, it also very nicely concludes the story of Bo Porter and his wife and new born twins! Great series that I am suggesting all my friends read!!

Egyptian girl experiences the great Exodus

Counted with the stars

(Out from Egypt Trilogy - Book One) 

by Connilyn Cossette

Kiya is the daughter of a wealthy merchant in ancient Egypt dreaming of marrying a handsome Egyptian. But when her father’s fortune is lost at sea, Kiya is sold into slavery and all her dreams are crushed. She becomes friends with another slave girl, Shira, who is Hebrew and when the ten plagues hit Egypt, Shira is able to explain the cause and eventually provide the escape. As Kiya joins the throng of escaping Hebrews and journeys with them toward the promise land, she begins to know the God behind it all. The author presents a new view of the experience of the plagues and the journey through the eyes of an Egyptian who is adopted into the family of God. It is an accurate representation of the times and the experience as well as being an excellent story.
