Deadly Christmas Inheritance by Jessica Patch review


Title: Deadly Christmas Inheritance
Author: Jessica Patch
Ch: 15
Pg: 228
Series: Texas Crime Scene Cleaners
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense
Rating: 5 stars
Publisher: Love Inspired

Deadly Christmas Inheritance is the third book in the Texas Christmas scene cleaner’s series by Jessica Patch and I have to say that it is my favorite of the series. Mainly because I'd wanted Rhode Spencer's story since the first book. But I also loved learning more about Teegan as well. While I do love a Christmas story from time to time. My favorite Christmas stories tend to be those of the romantic suspense variety and unfortunately for me those tend to be few. But with these one based on experience with the authors previous books I was going to get  page turning story with the right balance of suspense and romance and I was not disappointed. 

 

I loved that Rhode was going to do whatever it took to protect Teegan and her twins even though its a shock. I was glad to get more of his back story after getting bits and pieces of it in the first two books.  While the suspense kept me turning pages the love story and the possibility of a Christmas romance was also intriguing and I had to find out how the story between Teegan and Rhode was going to end.  

 

I received a copy of this book from the author  as part of a blog tour  I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

Tea With Elephants by Robin Jones Gunn review

Title: Tea with Elephants

Author: Robin Jones Gunn

Ch: 23

Pg: 304

Series: Suitcase Sisters


Genre: Contemporary Christian fiction

Rating: 5 stars

Publisher: Revell

Ever since I first picked up the author’s books as a teenager, each time I’ve read a book by heart they’ve touch my heart. And Tea with Elephants was no different. It’s the first book in the Suitcase sisters. And it’s set in Africa when two friends Fern and Lily get gifted the trip of a lifetime.

I was hooked from page one and loved every many of it. And I have to say I was happy to discover what happened to a beloved character after their book had ended. Fern was the one I related to the most. And while Danny was a secondary character I also related a bit to him especially with what he has to face. As at least to me it’s one of the hardest things a child has to face even as an adult.

The faith thread throughout the book not only weaves Lily and Ferns story it also weaves the bigger story of God’s plan. And just like I’ve been since I was a teenager I feel blessed by the story and scripture. And so glad the author’s writing fiction again. And can’t wait to see where the next book in the series takes us.
