Montana Welcome by Melinda Curtis

I really enjoyed this book!  I enjoyed the captivating beginning.  I enjoyed the satisfying ending and I enjoyed the entertaining parts in between. 

I was happy to see another Blackwell series as I loved the others that I had read before. The authors of the Return of the Blackwell Brothers have joined forces again for this new and captivating series. And this was the start of what appears to be another wonderful, clean and fun series.

This story line of a run-away bride was very fun, enjoyable and kept me reading throughout the pages.  The book's start was full of engaging writing.  You will be in for a fun "ride" with Conner and Lily!  I really felt that this was a wonderful start to the new series and can't wait to read what is coming in the near future.  I loved the conflict when the expected groom comes to claim what he feels is his. 

I received a copy of this book from the author.  All thoughts are my own.

Look at what's coming down the line!

Jeb's Wife by Patricia Johns

I read this book really quickly.  And not because I wanted to finish it soon, but because I had to know how things turned out and what would happen next.  It was a really good book and I found myself reading way past "bedtime". 

I really loved the characters and the sacrifices they made, how they grew, seeing their weaknesses, seeing them recognizing their strengths and those weaknesses that held them back.  It was a good book.  If you love Amish fiction, I am sure you won't be able to put this book down.

Security Breach by Vannetta Chapman



Book 1. This suspenseful story  was first a part of an anthology called Summer of Suspense.  Although a quick read, it held my interest and is book 1 of the Cyber Division Series.  I really liked Ben, the Amish man, who discovers a woman agent ready to do him in!  I love his character and hope that he will be in book 2! The book moves quickly and there are no dull moments.   I really enjoyed reading this!
This was book 2 of the Cyber Division Series.  These are shorter books, but full of intrigue and definitely makes you think about the future! 
The book takes right off and there are no dull moments.The research involved here, stuns me.  I was so impressed by the infinite knowledge needed to write such an enthralling tale. Great book and a lot to think about! 


Book 2. There has been a breach in internet security and Nora is on the job to find what is happening, and who is causing the attack.  As you read about the events it makes you wonder if something like this could happen and why?  It's a well written book of things that conceivably could occur in a not-so -perfect world.The book is spell-binding and a great addition to book 1.  
Book 3  was a wonderful addition to the first books of this series.  The author is an amazing writer of Dystopian books!  Loved the suspense!  And with all of our current events in the World these days, you can practically visualize it happening in life rather than a book! 

Book 4  was really a fun read!  It took place in locations that I am very familiar with in my home state, Zion National Park and the Virgin River Gorge area.  Such a beautiful setting for an exciting book about cyber terrorists! 

The rock climbing and repelling add a little more excitement.  A favorite hobby of my grandson!  I really enjoyed the book and there seems to be little touch of romance along the way.  Great book.  You will enjoy it!

A Heartwarming Romance Collection by Wanda E. Brunstetter

This was an enjoyable book and very simply written.  The stories were about people whose self esteem has caused them to have problems in their lives to overcome.  The themes are all Christian and suitable for younger readers.  The stories were easy to read and had happy endings.  They were uplifting and relaxing.  There are lessons to be learned in each and represent a closeness to God and how he can change our lives for the better.

Seeking His Love by Carrie Turansky

This book is about a topic that was a youth favorite of mine, drama and the theater.  I was an avid thespian! The story revolves around Rachel Clark who is a new director of the Christian Youth Theater.  I can just imagine and remember the fun involved.  The book is easy reading and a quick read.  It's enjoyable and entertaining.

I received this book as a winner of a giveaway.

A Daughter for the Mountain Firefighter by Melinda Curtis

This was a good book. It's a story that melts your heart.  I love how the characters grow and mature and learn to accept their responsibilities and make personal sacrifices.  The story line is a good one and it has a tough set of circumstances to deal with. It's an enjoyable read which keeps those pages turning.  This does contain adult themes.

An Appalachian Summer by Ann H. Gabhart

This book was simply delightful.  At the cusp of her life and not knowing which direction to go in life, she hears the words "do something" and hears Mrs. Breckinridge tell the experiences of the Frontier Nursing couriers in the Appalachian Mountains.  Without much hesitation, Piper Danson hears the call, although not the life or direction expected of her by her parents.

She leaves behind a chance of courtship and an old flame to help the nurse midwives in the mountains.

I loved this book and I want to read others set in this same time frame and beautiful setting.  There wasn't a dull moment in this book, which was well paced and totally engaging.  It was so well written and adventures were exciting and you could see the growth in Piper over her time there.  I can say only the best compliments to the author.  It was simply excellent!
