Book Review: Targets in Ties by Tristi Pinkston
Book Thoughts by Rachelle
If you love hilarious whodunits with a side of refried beans while wearing a Panama hat, then Targets in Ties is your next read. Tristi Pinkston has written yet another Secret Sisters Mystery that will have you chuckling and scratching your head to figure out who is the mastermind behind the plot–of course, you’ll have to remove your Panama hat to scratch your head.
Set in Mexico, Targets in Ties brings an international crime into the mix as the Secret Sisters set off for a vacation and the long-awaited reunion with Ida Mae’s missionary nephew, Ren.
Here’s more about the book:
After two long years, Ren’s mission is finally over, and it’s time for Ida Mae, Arlette, and Tansy to travel to Mexico to pick him up. They have their itinerary all planned out – visiting the ruins in the Yucatan, shopping, playing in the sand and surf, and then they’ll head to Ren’s mission home and be reunited with that dear boy. But a wanted antiquities thief crosses their path, and soon the ladies find themselves tangled up in a web of lies, intrigue, and costly jewelry. Held hostage by men desperate for riches, they do what only they can do – keep their heads about them, plan their escape, and discuss the proper making of tortillas. Will they survive their most harrowing adventure yet?

Book Review: Georgana’s Secret by Arlem Hawkes
Book Thoughts by Rachelle
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading books on the high seas of late. This novel is set in 1811 on the HMS Deborah–a ship in the English royal navy. This is the first novel I’ve read by this author and I’m very happy with the story!
George is a cabin boy on the ship, but in reality he is a young woman in disguise. Georgana fled the abusive clutches of her grandmother to live on the ship with her father, Captain Woodall. Although she is free from the abuse of her grandmother, she has to endure ship life among 300 men, all while safely guarding her secret identity.
The detail and description of ship life and the layout of the ship showcases the author’s research and attention to detail. The HMS Deborah came to life as did all of her crew as I read of Georgana’s adventures and heart-stopping encounters with Lieutenant Dominic Peyton. Dominic is the first person in three years to pay attention to young George and help “him” learn to stand up for himself against the bullying of other cabin boys. A friendship forms and no matter how hard Georgana tries, she can’t stop herself from falling for the handsome Lieutenant. What will he do when he discovers her secret? And is there any chance of a normal life for Georgana?
I think you’ll enjoy this book. It was riveting with plenty of action and adventure circling through the clean romance. I highly recommend this Proper Romance!
Here’s more about the book:
1811
A Regency romance on the high seas. Two hearts yearning to find a safe harbor, and possibly, a lasting love.
As a young girl, Georgana Woodall dreamed of beautiful dresses, fancy balls, and falling in love. However, when her mother dies, she cannot face a future under the guardianship of her abusive grandmother and instead chooses to join her father on his ship disguised as his cabin boy, “George.”
Lieutenant Dominic Peyton has no time in his life for love, not with his dedication to His Majesty’s Royal Navy claiming his full attention. While trying to adjust to a new crew, he strives to be an exemplary officer and leader. When he sees the captain’s cabin boy being harassed by the crew, he immediately puts a stop to it and takes the “boy” under his wing. After discovering a number of clues, Dominic deduces that George is really a woman. Knowing that revealing the cabin boy’s secret would put her in serious danger from the rowdy crew, Dominic keeps silent and hides his growing affection for her.
Georgana is quickly losing her heart to Dominic’s compassion and care but is convinced nothing can come of her affection. She cannot continue to live her life on the sea, and having already missed too many seasons in London, her chances of being welcomed back into polite society and finding a suitable husband are quickly slipping away.
Georgana’s Secret is about two hearts yearning to find a safe harbor, and possibly, a lasting love.

Book Review: Pumpkin Roll by Josi S. Kilpack
Book Thoughts by Rachelle
Josi S. Kilpack bakes up another scrumptious mystery in Pumpkin Roll that will ignite your taste buds with delicious recipes and your curiosity with every cryptic bit of circumstance. Sadie’s sleuthing is downright scary in this book and it was fun to read during the Halloween season. I enjoyed the details she added as Sadie and Pete travel to the Boston area to babysit and end up in the middle of another mystery.
Here’s more about the book:
Sadie Hoffmiller is looking forward to spending her favorite baking season of the year making delicious New England recipes in Boston, Massachusetts, with her favorite leading man, Pete Cunningham, as they babysit his three young grandsons. But when the boys insist that Mrs. Wapple, the woman who lives across the street, is a witch, Sadie and Pete are anxious to distract the boys from such Halloween-induced ideas. However, it gets harder and harder to explain the strange things that keep happening, particularly after Sadie learns the eccentric Mrs. Wapple has been attacked in her home. As the unexplained occurrences escalate, Sadie finds herself embroiled in yet another mystery with life-or-death consequences. Can Sadie discover whoever—or whatever—is behind the mystery before anyone else gets hurt? Or will this be Sadie’s last case?

Book Review: Captive Heart by Michele Paige Holmes
Book Thoughts by Rachelle
Captive Heart is more of a historical romance and I enjoyed the setting and Emma’s fiery spirit. Holmes’s writing draws you in and puts you right smack dab in the middle of mining country in the Black Hills. The romantic tension is great and the conclusion was pretty satisfying.
Here’s more about the book:
Emmalyne Madsen sends a desperate plea heavenward as a band of lawless men makes their way up the aisle of the railcar. When one hauls her roughly from the seat, threatening and cursing, Emmalyne fears her adventure out West has just turned into a nightmare.
Thayne Kendrich has an urgent need for a school teacher, and he’s not above doing whatever it takes to get one—including forcing her at gunpoint across the scorching prairie. But the teacher he chooses turns out to be a little tougher—and softer—than he anticipated, and before long he finds himself battling emotions he vowed to never feel again.
Emma, too, struggles with feelings she knows she ought not be having toward Thayne. He’s an outlaw, after all—or is he? As the days pass and their destination—the Black Hills—draws nearer, Emma realizes that out West, the line between right and wrong is sometimes blurred. Might the man she believed to be on the wrong side of the law have acted with the purest intentions? If so, her greatest danger may be in her own heart, as he holds her captive in more ways than one.
