Author: Melody Carlson

Series: True Colors # 2

 

Genre: Teen Christian fiction

Deep Green: Color Me Jealous is a teen novel that deals with tough issues. But it is really well done. I was say that these are books that are for older teens high schoolers. This is because the issues are what high school girls face every day. Deep Green deals with the issues being Jealous when a girl loses her boyfriend to who she thought was her best friend.

Review of A Light in The Window

Title: A Light in the Window

Author: Julie Lessman

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Rating: 4 ½  stars

A Light in the Window is the first book that I read by Julie Lessman, and it will not be my last. It is the Prequel to the Daughters of Boston series. I am glad that I read this story first. Though it was a Christmas story you can read it anytime. It’s great for any time of year. Especially St Patrick ’s Day which is coming up Sunday.  I loved that A Light in the Window was a story of love, and Grace. I love Irish love stories and this novel was no different.

I received a e-book review copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. 

In Time for St. Pat’s Day …

An Irish Love Story For All Seasons!

A Light in the Window

One Woman. Two Men.

One stirs her pulse and the other her faith.

But who will win her heart?

Marceline Murphy is a gentle beauty with a well-founded aversion to rogues.

But when two of Boston's most notorious pursue her,

attraction, dreams and faith only muddle her mind.

Can the light in the window

illuminate the path of true love?

Review of Due or Die

Title: Due or Die

Author: Jenn McKinlay

Series: A Library’s Lover’s Mystery

 

Genre: Cozy Mystery

Rating: 4 stars

     Due or Die is the second book in A Library’s Lovers series. With one mystery solved under her belt Librarian Lindsey is at it again. This time it’s the friends group President who is charged with murder. This mystery is as cute as the first one. There is also a couple of surprises in this book. An animal in the book drop, to a new relationship for one of the characters. 

Review of Doctor to the Rescue

Title: Doctor to the Rescue

Author: Cheryl Wyatt

Series: Eagle Point Emergency

 

Chapters: 16

Pages: 217

Genre: Christian Romance, Love inspired

Rating: 4 ½ Stars

     Doctor to the Rescue is the second book in the Eagle Point Emergency. I enjoyed the fact that some of the Wings of Refuges characters are in this series. It was a cute and quick read. I can’t wait for the next one in the series. 

Review of Clouds

Title: Clouds

Author: Robin Jones Gunn  

Genre: Christian fiction, Christian Chick Lit

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Multnomah

     Clouds was the first adult novel that I read by Robin Jones Gunn. I enjoyed her Christy Miller series as a teen, and her Katie Weldon series as a college student. So Clouds was a change for me. I enjoyed the story and story line. It was an enjoyable read.

     Clouds was not my favorite book by Robin Jones Gunn but I would still recommend the book to anyone who loves Christian fiction or Robin Jones Gunn books.

I received  this book from Multnomah Publishers in exchange for an honest review.
