Jennifer by Dee Henderson


Normally, I love Dee Henderson.  I've been a longtime fan and was really excited to have the opportunity to read and review this book.  The story was a nice read, but also a little challenging for me to wrap my head around.  I didn't realize until the end of the story that Ms. Henderson was actually writing the first book in the series, last.  I was flowing along with the story nicely until the "shocker" (no spoiler here!) and abrupt ending. I'm still trying to remember how things end up specifically with Jennifer in her other stories...guess I need to read them again!   
This story also seemed a little too perfect from a relational standpoint.  I'm glad things went so smoothly for Jennifer in her new relationship, but it didn't align well with the bumps that come in real life when two different people come together.
All that being said, it was still a nice read and a good fiction work.  

Undeniably Yours by Becky Wade


I loved this story!  I was drawn into it from the beginning, and repeatedly found myself coming back when I had a free moment.  This was not a story I forgot I was reading on my Kindle.  No out of sight, out of mind here!  The characters have stuck with me, even several days later.  

If you'd like a light read, with characters that engage your heart, and an intriguing storyline, pick up this new story from Becky Wade!

Unrivaled by Siri Mitchell


Candy and romance, what better combination?  Siri Mitchell captured my attention with her newest release, Unrivaled.  Bad guys turning good and good girls overstepping long-established boundaries make for interesting reading in this clean, enjoyable read.   All is well that ends well, and I'm pleased with how this story turns out.  It's a nice story to curl up with on a rainy day with a cup of tea.  

Firefly Island by Lisa Wingate


I've enjoyed other books by Lisa Wingate and jumped at the opportunity to review this one.  She did not disappoint in her newest release, Firefly Island.   I read it in two days, amidst homeschooling and the general busyness of life, and didn't want to put it down!  

Engaging from the beginning, Lisa draws you into the world of a DC staffer transformed into The Frontier Woman, and there's never a dull moment.  For readers that enjoy Christian-based fiction with a hint of romance and suspense/intrigue, this is a book for you.  Her writing is clean, and the story doesn't contain any violence.  In my opinion, it's a great level of suspense!  

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
