Blog Tour of The Red Cottage by Hannah Linder

About the Book

Book: The Red Cottage

Author: Hannah Linder

Genre: Christian Fiction / Historical / Regency Romance

Release Date: November, 2025

She forgot she loved him.
He would die to make her remember.

Meg Foxcroft has never minded the tattling village gossip or her uncle’s ill-tempered rebukes. After all, she has Tom McGwen—and one day, they will build their own cottage, paint it red, and live a wonderful life.

But then the unthinkable happens. Meg is attacked, her uncle’s apothecary shop goes up in flames, and when she wakes up in the arms of an eloquent lord, she remembers nothing. Not even her own name.

In a frantic race against time, Tom plunges into dangerous water, bent on sheltering Meg from harm and discovering who wants her dead. Even if she despises him. Even if it’s now the handsome lord she casts her smile upon.

As danger swells and truth comes crashing around them, Meg must confront the past and decide who she trusts—and loves—before the enemy makes the final strike.

My Review

The Red Cottage is written in perfect Regency style. Meg, due to a traumatic incident, loses all her memory and finds herself at Penrose Abbey with Lord Cunningham and his sick daughter.

The story is very deep and involved, and the characters have many layers. There are lots of twists and turns throughout, which kept me guessing. The story is full of danger, deceit, lies, and secrets.

The romantic part of the story, because of Meg's memory loss, is heartbreaking. Meg & Tom faced one challenge after another. The ending wrapped everything up nicely. This is a book you will remember long after you turn the final page.

I received a complimentary copy from the author; a positive review is not required. All opinions are my own.

More from Hannah

We’re made for someone. I think I’ve always believed this—that it was never about proximity, or happenchance, or who you know, or where you are.

But that God, in His infinite wisdom, created a second half for each of us.

Someone who fits in the curve of your neck when you hug.

Who laughs at the things you laugh at.

Who speaks to you in a language your soul understands.

I think that’s why I love The Red Cottage so much. Circumstances would have never mattered with Tom and Meg. They loved each other. They were linked. And even if everything had been different, if they had been born hundreds of years before, they would have found their way back to each other.

If the age was ancient Egypt, and he had been a Pharaoh, and she a slave, they would have discovered each other.

If the year was 1920, and he a factory worker, and she the daughter of an oil tycoon, they would have defied the rules of society.

In any other place, in any other time, in any other way, Tom would have loved Meg. And Meg would have loved Tom. That is the beauty and the mind-blowing magic of real love.

So, when you fall into the pages of The Red Cottage, I hope you aren’t so foolish as to imagine this was an accident. That Tom said the right things, or that Meg felt vulnerable in just the right places, and that their bond—both the first and second time—was a mere hapless stroke of luck.

They would have loved each other anyway.

We’re all made for someone.

Review of Courting Love by Jodie Wolfe

 Courting Essie, Teddy, and Kitty Love should be easy…

With their surname, they should be primed for romance.
But the three men tasked with wooing these sisters have their hands full.

An Angel for the Cowboy
Jud Steele has no intention of marrying or settling down until he’s hunted for a crime he hasn’t committed. Wounded and left for dead, he lands on Essie Love’s doorstep. While she nurses him back to health, he decides he might change his mind, if the angel caring for him comes along with the deal. How can he persuade Essie to take a chance on a cowboy?

Picking a Bride for Paul
Stuck at home with a broken leg, what’s a fella to do? Paul Baker writes for a bride from back east, like his ma advised before leaving Kansas. His neighbor and best friend, Teddy Love, understands him best, so he trusts her to help him search. But when his potential wife arrives, she can’t compare to Teddy. How can Paul go back and change things before he makes the biggest mistake of his life?

Wooing the Cook
As children, Noah Eldridge mercilessly teased Kitty Love in their local one-room schoolhouse. Ever since, she’s kept her distance from him. He can’t blame her. However, it also means she’s the last person who is likely to come to Noah’s aid when his men threaten to leave the ranch unless he hires a skilled cook. She’s his only hope of keeping his home. What must Noah do to convince Kitty to accept the job, and that he’s always cared for her?

My Thoughts on the Book

Three stories that follow the Love sisters, Essie, Teddy, and Kitty, as each one finds their true love. The sisters are close and look out for each other since their pa died. Each of their matches was a surprise, as they didn't realize the men loved them. Each of the sisters has strong faith and a strong sense of family and work ethic.

The stories are uplifting and inspirational, with plenty of humor. I was caught up in each story from the beginning and highly recommend them. I couldn't stop reading; each one had exciting and unexpected situations. All of them had happy endings. I highly recommend this collection.

I received a complimentary ARC from the author; a positive review is not required. All opinions are my own.

Blog Tour of Heart's Promise by Linda Hoover

 

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Heart's Promise by Linda Hoover, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: Heart's Promise 
Series: Heart's Desire #3 
Author: Linda Hoover 
Publisher: Independently Published 
Release Date: June 23, 2025 
Genre: Historical Christian Romance

Welcome back to Jacob and Julia's Iowa farm. 

In 1893, their son Justin is eleven. and daughter Annaliese is ten. When Jacob and Julia adopted Annaliese as an infant, they were told God had a special plan for her. As Annaliese grows up, she wonders if her purpose will be world-changing. 

Julia's old friend, Edward Harrington, comes to visit from England, along with his wife and son, Robbie. Their time at the farm is the beginning of a like/hate relationship and later something more between Robbie and Annaliese. When the families travel to San Francisco in 1900, a shocking revelation from Edward's wife could change everything, beginning with taking Annaliese to England. 

If this is God's plan, Annaliese is disappointed. It's nothing like she imagined, and her heart's desire is to go to veterinary college. This could mean a very different future for her. 

PURCHASE LINKS: Goodreads | Amazon

My Thoughts on the Book

Heart's Promise is a story of young love between Robbie and Annalise that presents progressive ideas about a woman's role. Robbie turns to the Bible to prove his point. It doesn't work out as he planned.

I loved the descriptions of the Iowa farm and also those of Nottingham, England. The settings and customs were so different, adding some tension to the book.

In trying to figure out their relationship, they turn to God to show them the path they should take. The couple is taken through many twists, and families offer their suggestions, which at times confuse them. I was emotionally involved from the beginning and couldn't wait to see how it would end. Highly recommended.

Review of The Curse of Calamity Wells by Robert Vaughn

 

Details About the Book

The Last Chance Detectives book series is an exciting blend of action, adventure, and mystery. Set in the fictional Southwest town of Ambrosia, the four young detectives- Mike, Winnie, Ben, and Spence- use an old B-17 bomber as their clubhouse, where they work to solve cases and learn spiritual truths along the way.

Mike Fowler's father has been missing for years. Will the Last Chance Detectives learn the truth behind their biggest mystery?

When some important government officials show up at the Last Chance Diner, it seems like all hope is lost. Then Mike discovers a long-lost note in his father's handwriting, and the young detectives embark on what could be their most dangerous adventure yet.

Mike, Ben, and Spence head out to the desert, to a place that Winnie's grandmother says is cursed: the old mining town of Calamity Wells. Winnie stays behind at first, but when an old foe shows up it becomes clear that the four friends will have to work together to solve this mystery-and to stay alive.

My Thoughts on the Book

The Curse of Calamity Wells is a middle-grade kids' book that is action-packed and filled with faith.  It is Book 8 in the series. Even as an adult, I enjoyed reading the book. It has a positive message about friendships. The Last Chance Detective kids won't stop until the mystery is solved.  The Last Chance Detective kids are courageous and trust in God during their worst circumstances.

There are lots of surprises, twists, and turns throughout the book.  It had a lot of emotion, great characters, and the description of the area made you feel like you were there.  It has clean content that will keep children on the edge of their seats.  The ending is great.

New Release- Christmas Harbor Secrets by Ciara Knight

When a winter storm rolls over Christmas Harbor, Rone Archer never expects to find the one woman who could break the walls he built after losing his partner. Isobel Blake came looking for answers—not danger. But a loyal K9 named Echo knows the truth before either of them.

This Christmas, secrets surface, wounds mend, and two guarded hearts learn that grace is the bravest kind of love.

My Review

Christmas Harbor Secrets is full of danger, suspense, and non-stop action. There were twists at every turn, and the two main characters, Isobel and Rone, had many layers. Due to past hurts, they each tried to keep their distance and avoid getting romantically involved. Because of the tension between the two, I kept wondering how it would all turn out as they both fought for their lives, while keeping secrets from the past. However, there can be redemption.

The story is a page-turner, and I read it in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. The ending wrapped up everything nicely, but not without a few surprises along the way. I liked the addition of the K9, which seemed very intuitive.

I received an ARC from the author; a positive review is not required. All opinions are my own.

However, with trouble on her trail, Samantha's brother hires Kyle to be her bodyguard. But will she even speak to him? And if not, will she at least allow him to protect her, even without the arm he lost in a logging accident? 

When the breadcrumbs lead them into a trap, putting Kyle's life in danger, Samantha faces an impossible choice: listen to Kyle and run for help, or stay a captive and outwit a criminal. If only the ticking bomb were on their side.

My Review

Samantha takes a position at the German Tea House but gets more than she bargained for. Her old boyfriend, Kyle, returns to Crow's Nest in hopes of making up with Samantha, but ends up as her bodyguard, hired by her brother.

The adventures Samantha and Kyle find themselves involved in brings danger to both of them. The story has lots of suspense and kept me turning the pages. The danger kept coming and I wondered how it would all turn out. The story set in the 1930s was well represented.

The love of family in the story, and trusting in feelings of hope, even when things seemed impossible, was inspirational and uplifting. The ending was great and wrapped everything up nicely. Highly recommended.

My Thoughts on the Book

Defending You is an exciting suspense overload. It had me on the edge of my seat most of the time: so many twists and turns, non-stop action, and a slow-burning romance. Cici Wright, a jewelry appraiser, is at Delveechio's in Philadelphia. She witnesses the murder of the shop owner, but not before she realizes that part of the jewelry is linked to a prior robbery/murder. Asher Rhodes is a hired bodyguard to keep her safe from the men who want her dead.

There is a cat-and-mouse race to survive as their lives are threatened. Their lives become more intense when things are completely out of control. The main characters are strong, determined, and courageous. There is a Christian aspect woven into the story, and it is done well. It is a well-written romantic suspense that was inspiring and had my attention from the beginning. I read it in one sitting as I couldn't put it down. I had to know what would happen next.

I received a complimentary copy from the author; a positive review is not required. All opinions are my own.

 

About the Author

Robin Patchen is a USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of Christian romantic suspense. She grew up in a small town in New Hampshire, the setting of her Coventry Saga books, and then headed to Boston to earn a journalism degree. Working in marketing, she discovered how much she loathed the nine-to-five ball and chain. After relocating to the Southwest, she started writing her first novel while homeschooling her three children. The novel was dreadful, but her passion for storytelling didn’t wane. Thankfully, as her children grew, so did her writing ability. Now that her kids are adults, she has more time to play with the lives of fictional heroes and heroines, wreaking havoc and working magic to give her characters happy endings. When she’s not writing, she’s editing or reading, proving that most of her life revolves around the twenty-six letters of the alphabet.

More from Robin

Meet Cici Wright: The Relatable Heroine of Defending You

There’s nothing I love more than crafting a heroine who feels like a friend—someone to root for, cry with, and cheer on as she faces impossible odds. In Defending You, the seventh book in my Wright Heroes of Maine series, that heroine is Cici Wright. She’s a jewelry appraiser with a sharp eye for gems, a heart full of courage, and a quiet struggle that I think many of us can relate to: the need to prove she matters.

A Woman on a Mission

Cici Wright is the middle daughter of five girls, and if you’ve read the earlier books in the series, you know her older sisters, Alyssa and Brooklynn, have come through some difficult times—and proved themselves not just capable but heroic.

When we meet Cici in Defending You, she’s doing what she loves: traveling from city to city and gazing into some of the world’s most precious gems. But beneath her confident exterior lies a woman who feels the weight of her sisters’ accomplishments and wonders if she’ll ever measure up.

Who hasn’t felt the pressure to prove themselves—whether to family, friends, or even their own inner critic? Cici’s journey begins when she discovers a long-lost necklace tied to a decades-old crime. Her decision to protect it sets off a chain of events that thrusts her into danger, forcing her to confront not just external threats but her own insecurities.

Strength in Vulnerability

What I love most about Cici is how her strength shines through her vulnerability. She’s a woman who loves beauty, who finds joy in the sparkle of a well-cut diamond, and who’s suddenly caught in a deadly game with rules she’s never learned. Despite her lack of training, Cici manages to keep herself alive long enough to get help.

Cici’s resourcefulness proves that heroism doesn’t always come from training or experience; sometimes, it’s born from sheer determination and a refusal to give up.

Enter Asher Rhodes, the bodyguard tasked with keeping her safe. Their history—his high school crush was crushed by the most humiliating moment of his life—adds layers to their dynamic. I loved writing their reunion, which is filled with tension, a little humor, and a slow-burn romance that I hope will leave you swooning.

Cici’s not afraid to call Asher out when he’s being overbearing—which she thinks is pretty much all the time. But she learns to trust him…for the most part.

A Journey We All Understand

For Cici, the story is about more than surviving danger; it’s about discovering her own worth. She starts desperate to distinguish herself, to be seen as more than the other Wright sister. By the end, she’s learned that her value doesn’t come from outshining others but from embracing who she is—flaws, fears, and all. It’s a journey I think many of us can relate to, whether we’re chasing a career goal, navigating family expectations, or simply trying to find our place in the world.

As I wrote Cici’s story, I thought about the readers who’ve told me they see themselves in my heroines. Cici’s not perfect—she’s stubborn, a little impulsive, and sometimes lets her pride get in the way. But she’s also fiercely loyal, quick-thinking, and willing to risk everything for what’s right. She’s the kind of heroine who reminds us that courage doesn’t mean being fearless but acting despite the fear.

Join Cici’s Adventure

Defending You is a story of heart-pounding suspense, a romance that sparks amidst danger, and a heroine who discovers her own strength when it matters most. If you’ve ever felt the need to prove yourself or wondered if you’re enough, Cici Wright’s journey will resonate with you. And if you love a good mix of action, mystery, and a love story that grows through trust and second chances, I think you’ll fall for Cici and Asher as much as I did.
