A Secret to Die For by Lisa Harris - My Review

Romantic suspense and suspense are my favorite genres to read. So it won't be a surprise to you that I enjoyed Lisa Harris' new novel A Secret to Die For. Chapter one had me racing through the story with the heroine, Grace Callahan. Ms. Harris definitely pulled me into the book on page one.

The suspense and romance are well developed and the pacing is fast. The hero and heroine both come into the relationship with baggage in the romance in the department. But even with bad guys breathing down their necks and problems in their past the romance is believable. I think that is largely due to their past college friendship. One nice twist (SOME MIGHT CONSIDER A SPOILER) is Nate, the hero, was a good friend of her ex-husbands in college. I found that to be an interesting twist!

Lisa Harris, as always, does an excellent job in the suspense department and keeps you guessing.

If you like fast paced romantic suspense then you will definitely enjoy A Secret to Die For.

A Secret to Die For is a 2018 release by Revell and is 314 pages. It is available in paperback, hardback, ebook, and audio.

A Christmas by the Sea by Melody Carlson - My Review

A Christmas by the Sea

by Melody Carlson

 

I love Christmas books and in particular I love Christmas books by Melody Carlson. Every year I look forward to her release, so it's no wonder I loved this book. I read A Christmas by the Sea in one day and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.

 

Ms. Carlson did a wonderful job with the setting. To begin with it made me want to visit Maine and by the time the book was finished I felt like I lived in the little cottage by the sea. The heroine is definitely one a modern woman can identify with. She's taken care of herself and her son since her husband's death. Wendy, the heroine, even worries about things like health insurance and it doesn't take away from the romance or the book. In fact, it adds realism to the story.  Her son, Jackson, is tech savvy - such a realistic thing for a teenager to be in today's world. I loved how he constantly looked up "how to" on YouTube. The hero, Caleb, is irresistible - just what every woman longs to meet. He respects Wendy's talents and love for her son. A Christmas by the Sea is a delightful holiday read and one I would highly recommend to any Christian Book Fanatic.

 

A Christmas by the Sea by Melody Carlson is a 2018 release published by Revell. The book is available in hardback (167 pages), e-book, and audio.
