Review & Giveaway: On a Night Like This by Barbara Freethy
On a Night Like This is book one in a new series from Barbara Freethy. The first books in new series not only have to deliver on the promised romance, but also introduce us to characters we’ll want to get to know better in later books. On a Night Like This delivers on both counts.
I enjoyed that this book was based on a story line that could happen in real life and included a mystery or two that will, hopefully, play out over the course of the series.
Review + Giveaway: Harm’s Reach by Alex Barclay
FBI Agent Ren Bryce finds herself entangled in two seemingly unrelated mysteries. But the past has a way of echoing down the years and finding its way into the present.

Review: The Girl with a Clock for a Heart by Peter Swanson
Twenty years later, George Foss is still obsessed with his first love. I get it – he is nearing forty and has built a solid, quiet and utterly boring life. His college girlfriend Liana is all bright colors and excitement and probably a murderer. Despite everything he knows about her, he is easily ensnared in her dangerous game of sex and lies from which he may not be able to escape unscathed.
Review + Giveaway: Never Surrender to a Scoundrel by Lily Dalton
Most romances develop in a predictable order: boy meets girl, they fall in love, get married, have babies and live happily ever after. That’s not what happens in Never Surrender to a Scoundrel. Here, everything transpires in a mixed up order and it’s quite a refreshing change.
We meet our hero and heroine during what can only be an exciting time in their lives, each envisioning a much different life.
One Year Reading Challenge 2015
If you’re like me, you have started off this year full of great ideas of how you’re going to increase or improve your reading selections this year. A high school friend of mine who loves to read as much as I do asked if I wanted to do the One Year Reading Challenge with her this year.
I plan to post about my progress each week, so I think this reading challenge will help me to round out the blog with a wider variety of books reviewed.
Guest Review: The Atheist’s Fatal Flaw by Norman Geisler and Daniel McCoy
As a Christian who attended a secular school, The University of Kansas, I wish I had read this book sooner. Nothing I encountered on campus was sufficient to undermine my faith, but I often didn’t know how to answer the accusations atheists threw out, as if they were reading from a predetermined list. I never thought about how to dismantle an atheist’s position. That’s where Norman Geisler and Daniel McCoy’s book, The Atheist Fatal Flaw, could have changed my experience.
Guest Review: The Pastor’s Kid by Barnabas Piper
In the introduction to his book, The Pastor’s Kid, Barnabas Piper writes two things that capture The Pastor’s Kid. First Piper describes the three objectives of his book: Give voice to PKs and their challenges, speak to pastors about how they can help their kids, and write to the church about how to “ease the burden of the pastor and his family” (p. 17).
