Pages: 224

Genre: Christian Romance, Love inspired

Rating: 4 ½ stars

                Dr. Jesse Alvarez  Cooper had always had a plan, a plan that didn’t include getting married before he was 35. All his life he thought God was calling him to mission field, but what if it wasn’t a far off mission field but one closer to home.

     Laura White has had a hard life with a past that she wants to put behind her. The only thing that she wants is her daughter back she never planned on falling in her.

     These two thought they had their lives all planned but God had other plans. As the Love Inspired line and authors like to show is that no matter what God is still control and His for us are far better than our own.

Review of The Cowboy Lawman

Title: The Cowboy Lawman

Author: Brenda Minton

Series: Cooper Creek, Love Inspired

 

Chapters: 17 plus Epilogue

Pages: 215

Genre: Christian Romance

Rating: 5 stars

     Slade McKennon has been a lawman in Cooper creek for a few years. Five years ago he lost his wife in a car crash; Mia Cooper was his wife’s best friend as well as one of his best friends. He has yet to be able to move on.

     Mia Cooper is an injured DEA agent who comes home to cooper creek to recover. Only to discover that her life is in danger, and Slade wants to protect her. Neither can let go of the past and move. Mia has loved Slade since she was a teenager but when her best friend said she loved him Mia kept her feelings to herself not wanting to hurt her two best friends.

     I enjoyed The Cowboy Lawman then again I love all the books that I read. I love that the Love Inspired line is a romance line that puts God and faith at the center of the relationships and the romance in the book. It is nice to be able to pick up a romance knowing that it is going to be “clean” and PG.  I cannot wait for the next book in the Cooper Creek series. Brenda Minton has written another winner. 

I received an e book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Review of Hooked

Title: Hooked

Author: Liz Fichera

Series: Hooked #1

 

Genre: Teen Chick Lit

Rating: 4 stars

A Pretty good main stream teen fiction book.  I don’t really remember anything overly bad in the book as far as language went. There were a few cuss words. I could have done with a better cover though. The Novel did a good job of addressing interracial relationships as well as dating someone outside your social class.

Review of Torch Red

Review of Cinders and Sapphires

Review of Cinders and Sapphires

Title: Cinders and Sapphires

Author: Lelia Rasheed

Series: At Somerton #1

 

Genre: Teen Historical Fiction

Rating: 4 stars

     Cinders and Sapphires is a pretty enjoyable teen historical fiction novel.  There were a few things that I had a problem with, but other than that it was a good read. I would have to say that it would be a read for older teens. I thought it was Downton Abbey for teens. 

Review of Torch Red: Color Me Torn

Title: Torch Red: Color Me Torn

Author: Melody Carlson

Series: True Color 3

 

Genre: Teen Christian Fiction

Rating: 5 stars

Torch Red: Color Me Torn  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. Torch Red deals with the issues of staying Pure when it seems to you that as a teenage girl your are the only virgin left in your school.
