Book Review: Arresting Her Heart by Jenna Brandt

by

Book Thoughts by Rachelle

This book was a sweet and fun read! Jenna has created the small Texas town of Faith Valley and filled it to the brim with sweet romance amidst a theme of first responders. I love the premise and I especially enjoyed the Christian romantic suspense.

Rookie cop, Noah, has his hands full right off the bat when he meets Audree in a scenario that will definitely leave you smiling. This is an enemies-to-love romance and it satisfies all the great points for my reader’s heart. Clean romance, excellent tension, Christian themed, small town romance, hunky first responders and great banter. I read it and passed it along to my daughter!

Here’s more about the book:

Noah West has some big shoes to fill…

His brothers are the best first responders in all of Texas.

It’s not easy being the rookie cop in a family of overachievers. When Noah decided to follow in his older brothers’ footsteps, he had no idea it was going to make his life a living nightmare. Add to that, a small town filled with nosy neighbors and a history of bad girlfriends, and it’s no surprise that he’s not ready when the girl of his dreams comes crashing into his life.

Audree Hall moved to Faith Valley to forget about her difficult past with men, so she can’t believe when she’s matched with the cop who wrongfully arrested her. They’ve talked for weeks online, and she had no idea it was the same guy, who smugly perp walked her through the police station. She’s tempted to bail on their first meeting, but the dating site can’t be all wrong, can it?

Book Review: The Bristol Park Detective by Ellie Thornton

by

Book Thoughts by Rachelle

Fun mix of mystery & romance, nod to Austenland

The Bristol Park Detective was so much fun! Elizabeth Shea is a detective and she gets assigned to detail an actress at Regencyland, a romantic role-play adventure for Austen fans. I loved Shea’s quirky character and the banter between her and leading man Daley was too much fun. But is he charming or dangerous?

Mystery, romance, and humor keep the pace moving in this novel. I knocked off a star because there were so, so many typos!! Still worth the read though.

Here’s more about the book:

She’s there undercover . . .

And he knows it.

When a high-profile murder case ends up on Detective Elizabeth Shea’s desk, she thinks she’ll finally be able to prove herself to her superiors; that is until she’s assigned a babysitting detail in a regency themed resort called Bristol Park instead.

Despite being frustrated with her boss, her empire-waist dress, her lack of regency knowledge, and being unarmed, she’s determined to do her best.

Things are going well until one of the actors begins to pester her, she starts to fall for another, and she discovers the woman in her care really is in danger.

With her charge’s life, her career, and her heart at stake, Shea’ll have to be on her guard 24/7 to get the happy ending she hopes for and discover who is behind the Bristol Park murders.

If you like the novel “Pride and Prejudice” and the movie “Miss Congeniality,” you’ll love this mystery love story! A Christian romantic suspense worth reading.

A contemporary romantic suspense novel with a traditional detective and regency flair.

Book Spotlight: Catherine’s Intrigue by Paige Edwards

by

Book Thoughts by Rachelle

Talented new author Paige Edwards has created an exciting world of high society, complete with dark secrets, budding romance, and heartbreaking decisions that will keep every reader turning the pages of Catherine’s Intrigue.

 

Here’s more about the book:

To fulfill her mother’s last request, twenty-four-year-old historic design specialist Catherine Pressley-Coombes travels to England in order to investigate an elusive family line. Armed with an illegible diary, she is determined to discover the identity of her mysterious ancestress. Distracted by an Elizabethan manor and unused to British country roads, Catherine runs her car into a ditch. Luckily, Nick Davidson, a handsome, hard-working local rides in on his tractor to save the day. As the down-to-earth manager of his family’s estate, Nick also happens to be one of England’s most eligible aristocrats.

Nick is certainly not the kind of man Catherine would fall for a man dogged by media and rumor. So why does she find the English lord so irresistible? Even though she can’t overlook their differing values and beliefs, as she and Nick spend time together, their attraction deepens. While she battles through romantic turmoil, Catherine is beleaguered with far more sinister concerns: a series of unexplainable misfortunes that are not mere accidents. With her heart on the line, Catherine discovers her life is in jeopardy, and she has no idea who the perpetrator is but she has a growing suspicion that the danger might be connected to whatever secrets lie hidden in her ancestor’s diary.

Veils and Vengeance 
When wedding planner Adrielle Pyper orchestrates a destination ceremony in Hawaii, she’s prepared for anything—except murder.
After the trauma of her last event, the beautiful isle of Kauai is the perfect place for Adri to unwind and do what she does best – plan. She even lets herself indulge in the attention of the groom’s handsome brother. But just when everything seems to be perfect, an afternoon snorkeling trip turns deadly when Adri discovers the body of a young woman.
Shaken, but unable to let go, Adri’s sleuthing leads her into more danger than she bargained for. When a number of “accidents” threaten her own life, it soon becomes apparent that someone will do anything to keep Adri from interfering with their vengeance.

Proposals and Poison 
Love can be a very dangerous thing.
At least it seems that way to Adri Pyper, the premier wedding planner in Sun Valley, Idaho. When one of her clients dies mysteriously, Adri takes the advice of the local detective and swears she will stay out of the investigation . . . this time. Luke Stetson’s involvement in the case, along with the possibility of a kiss between the two, should be enough incentive to keep Adri out of trouble. But when a dog-themed wedding is almost ruined by a suspect, Adri and her assistant, Lorea, are thrust into private eye mode. When poison enters the picture, even a reluctant sleuth can’t steer clear of danger.
