Romance Is In The Air Spotlight And A $25 Giveaway!


   
  


  The Kiss Thief by Rachelle J. Christensen 
 As the head librarian of the Echo Ridge Library, Britta Klein thrives on order and categorization. Unfortunately, the old church-turned-library is in desperate need of a renovation. The Harvest Hurrah fundraiser seems to be the answer, but plans keep going awry. With help from Milo Geissler, accomplished musician, piano tuner, and kiss thief, each catastrophe is narrowly avoided. When Milo goes to great lengths to help Britta find a key classic book, she begins to wonder if there is more to life than books and order. Can she allow this man who speaks the language of music to tune her heart to a new song? Welcome to Echo Ridge, New York where romance finds its way into the hearts and lives of the people who walk the streets of the close-knit community.

Book Review and Giveaway!


I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for Chalon Linton's new Regency, A Tangled Inheritance. I enjoyed Ms. Linton's first book, An Inconvenient Romance, and it was fun to see the characters of Leah and Charles make an appearance in the new book.

Leah's cousin, Nora, has come to help her prepare for her wedding. Charles's school friend, Devlin, is also visiting/waiting around for the wedding and he's thrown together often with Nora. He's met her before at a society event, and was captivated by her, but knows he's not in a position to make an offer for her. Yet the more he gets to know her, the harder it is to stifle his feelings for her. Nora has some decisions to make of her own as the man she's been betrothed to since birth finally makes an appearance in her life and she must decide what to do. Can either of them risk letting their feelings go beyond friendship? Or will they miss their chance at love for society's expectations?

I really enjoyed the characters in the book. Nora is well-drawn, longing for more than mindless conversation about fashion or weather. She has a good heart, but circumstances beyond her control force her to make some decisions that are heartrending. Her struggles to figure out what's best and what's right make her very relatable for the reader. I thought Devlin was a tortured hero who is trying to overcome so much in his life and not having an easy time of it. I liked that he wasn't a perfect man, he was truly wrestling with some very complicated trials, which also made him sympathetic. Readers will definitely be rooting for them to get their happily-ever-after! The author did a great job of fitting the story into the time period with society's restrictions, and kept the tension and pacing at just the right spot to keep me turning pages long past bedtime. A sweet afternoon read.

Here's the back copy:

Nora Ellsworth, darling of London society, has her choice of eligible suitors, but since childhood, she has been expected to marry Jonathan Browning, a gentleman whose wealth and stability will someday secure the futures of Nora and her mother and sister. The family estate will pass to an odious male cousin upon the death of Nora’s father, and when he suddenly takes ill, her need to marry well becomes vitally important.

As Nora struggles with the idea of marrying without love, she finds herself increasingly drawn to Devlin Fausett, a man with dark eyes and intriguing conversation. But Devlin’s reputation as an indebted gambler is difficult to ignore. Despite the rumors from the ton and the marriage decision before her, Nora is determined to befriend the dashing Mr. Fausett, and his charms soon make it all but impossible to remember her duty. Until she learns the truth of her fortune. There is a way to keep her family’s estate, but the price is high: Nora must wed, as soon as possible. Torn between two very different men, she must make the ultimate decision. Will she be guided by her head or her heart?

TREK The Movie Trailer & $50 Gift Card Giveaway!

If you've ever gone on Trek, you won't want to miss this one. It looks good!



Written by Hollywood screenwriter David Howard and Jon Enos, and directed by Alan Peterson, TREK is a family comedy that follows a group of LDS teens as they stumble their way through the sagebrush looking for their pioneer heritage as well as their own testimonies.

Watch as Tom, a young Mormon teenager and his friends try to smuggle in unsanctioned food, battle sibling rivalry, encounter a “special ops” Young Mens leader, ponder doctrinal brain teasers, and match wits with a Twinkie-loving skunk.

Through all of the ups and downs, they are revealed to be “real” LDS youth who are struggling with real challenges—doubts, divorce, relationships. When they encounter unexpected trouble, their faith is tested much like their pioneer ancestors.

  I'm With You by Taylor Dean Can three little words irrevocably change your life? When the doctors inform Chloe Brennan that her pregnancy is “incompatible with life,” her subsequent choices will change her path forever. She becomes one of the quiet, unsung heroes of this world, incredibly strong, yet somehow wrongly looked upon as damaged. Three people will pierce Chloe’s existence: her husband, a stranger, and a precious baby. One will say goodbye, one will say hello, and one will say both at the same time. I’m With You is a novel about selfless love and the sacredness of life.   


Please note: While this book is a romance novel, it also deals with the sensitive issue of baby loss grief. The emotions are real, and sometimes dark. If you are sensitive to this issue, this may not be the book for you.

               

 


                  

 

 “I’m With You” is a beautiful story that centers on one woman's tragic, heart-wrenching loss and the healing brought by unselfish love, giving love, in-sickness-and-in-health-love. It is sweeter, nobler, stronger — and even more passionate than the beginnings of love we so often see. Forever love. -Julie in Portland, Oregon, Amazon Reviewer

 This book knocked my socks off. It was amazing and I will definitely read it again and again. It is "that" good. -Amazon Reviewer

 This book. Oh my gosh. I could NOT put it down. I sobbed like a baby through most of it and felt my heart breaking for my own loved ones who have suffered such a loss. It was written beautifully with great sensitivity and I LOVED it. -Amazon Reviewer
