Solid 3.5--This is a fun story that had me wanting to restore a vintage trailer ASAP! This story is my first Melody Carlson and I enjoyed it. From the very first page I was quickly captured by Dillon Michaels (it took me a hot minute to get used to her name) plight as she makes a quick decision so start over and move home. I loved Dillon's grandpa as he reminded me very much of my own. I had a hard time with the other secondary characters, like Vivian who at first I thought was much older given...

A thrilling hunt that'll have you on the edge of your seats with every turn of the page! Author James Hannibal delivers an exciting sequel that will delight suspense/thriller fans.

Aloha!! I'm Natalie and I write romantic suspense when I'm not dodging dinosaurs with my family. Married to GIJOE, we are currently stationed on the beautiful island of O'ahu and approaching the empty-nest stage of life and I'm not freaked out about that. At. All.

If your an organized, Type A, planner and life doesn't seem to be going your way...this book is for you!

The author offers readers the opportunity to search the areas of their hearts, mind, soul, and lives to see where control is lurking and how to release it.

Thrilling page turner, the first I've read of Mr. Threadgill's and this author knows how to keep you turning pages well into the night--not to mention leave you carrying this story around with you even when you HAVE to put the book down. The gripping plot yanked me into a twisting story that had me on the edge of my seat. I really enjoyed the female lead character and found her development authentic. Secondary characters enhanced the storyline with their unique personalities. The story was...

Amazing!! Lynette Eason does it again and I'm so glad she did!

The action begins in the first chapter and doesn't quit until the final page making this book a quick read but a very satisfying one. The intricate plot weaves high-octane suspense around the delicate issues of PTSD...

Seven Ways to Rest, which offers suggestions for how to achieve REST in spite of the chaos life might be dishing out around us. Rest is a Position, which encourages readers to remain in REST. I enjoyed the authentic tone of the author and her transparency. There was a good deal of...

Once again, Ms. Frantz delivers a powerful story that had me living among the characters, experiencing the story world in a personal way.
