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 quick-paced plot sweeps readers from the dangerous and unpredictable setting of Afghanistan to what should be the peaceful, civilian world where a former military psychiatrist and Army Special Ops soldier can rest... 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...

Not a quick read but an intentional read that is worthy of the time. Still is divided into three sections: The Search for Rest, which reveals a bit about the author's background and her own search for rest. 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.

This collection of novellas is like a sweet gift from author, Lynette Eason, to her readers!! Protecting Tanner Hollow has all of the romantic suspense you could possibly want and more!! The stories are quick paced, the characters are charming, and I enjoyed every page-turning second. I think my favorite characters are the Tanner brothers. I liked that each novella wrapped up nicely and each subsequent one beyond the first gave a little sneak peek into the characters from earlier stories. **I...

I've read all three of the Code of Honor series books and this one started out a little slow for me. After the initial punch of suspense, the story seems to lag with the investigation thread leaving me want a little more on the suspense side. I really felt like the on-page chemistry between the main characters and the side characters was slightly stronger but overall, the romance between Rick and Heather comes together nicely at the end. Overall, not my favorite of the three books but still a...

Interesting story revealing the cost of making it big in Hollywood and the reality that redemption of ones past does exist beyond red carpet. I wasn't sure what to expect from this story but found myself turning the pages as author, Davis Bunn, unraveled a unique plot. The writing was well done and the characters had enough depth to them to draw me in on an emotional level. There's a real sense of behind-the-scenes in the details that lend to the authenticity behind the story making it a...

Intense and gripping as it is redemptive. The horror of what this man went through as young man and carried through him with every surgery, recovery, and questioning--Mark McDonough reveals a faith that has been refined literally by fire. If anyone has gone through a series of trials and is struggling to see God in the bigger picture of "why" this book is a good reminder that God is still there. In the hurt, pain, and unanswered questions. Struggling with faith, especially when dealing with...
