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

You know that question people ask, "If you're stranded on an island and you have only one book you can take with you, what would it be?" Well, if you ever find yourself stranded on the face of the Denali in the middle of a snow storm--take this book!! The adventure in this story starts early on and does not stop until the last page.

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...

This book takes love to all who new level. Author, Micah Berteau, uses the story of Hosea and Gomer from the Bible to illustrate the love Christ has for us--even as we are. Going deeper than what most believe about love, the author writes with conviction, humor, and truth, revealing how big and encompassing REAL love is. It definitely moved me to consider love in a new light and the only thing I wish this book had was a reader reflection section either within the book or as a companion because...

Enjoyable espionage thriller. With quick action, tangible danger, and a cast of unique characters the entire novel read like a movie that left me excited to keep reading. What made this story stand out to me was the unique plot and the dynamic between characters. Mr. Hannibal does a fantastic job giving each character an unforgettable personality bringing them to life on the page. There were some easy guesses on the part of the plot but the action and storyline made it easy to overlook those...

A must have book for parents. I don't say that lightly, as a mom of adult children now, there is value in these pages for how to pray specifically for your children. I appreciate the time the authors took in gathering the vast issues facing our children and bringing Scripture to those issues as a way to jumpstart our prayers over them. The stories interspersed throughout help encourage parents as they grow through the different seasons in their child's life, though I wish there were a bit more,...
