New Release Spotlight- "Summer's Song" by Dora Hiers

  Book 2 (Second Chance Summers)

Will a simple summer song bring them back together for a second chance at love…

Cole Kallen never planned to be gone so long. He'd only left Laurel Cove to escape the painful reality of seeing the woman he loved hanging onto his best friend and business partner's arm. Everyone could see that London and Denton didn't make beautiful music together. Cole had kissed her once, and that kiss had rocked his world. But how could a nerdy computer geek compete with all the jocks vying for the popular cheerleader's attention? Before she could reject him, he'd broken it off and poured himself into the company he'd founded with his college buddies.

From their very first kiss, London Carlson had been smitten with the handsome songwriter. But Cole had shattered her heart with some flimsy excuse and avoided her carefully crafted attempts to reunite. His best friend's idea of fake dating seemed like her only hope, but Cole deserted her for a country she had to look up on a map and still couldn't pronounce. After ten years, the digital nomad's back in town for their friends' wedding, his beautiful music-making her heartache for a lifetime with him. But now that his name's included in the popular magazine's most recent list of billionaires, he probably won't even remember her name, let alone that life-changing kiss.

Can London's faith carry her through yet another rejection? Will a song bring them back together for a second chance at love? Or will Cole choose to lead a solo lifestyle forever?

** A Billionaire Second Chance Christian Romance **

MY REVIEW

Summer's Song is about getting over past hurts, becoming new in Christ, and accepting forgiveness. Cole and London reconnect after leaving her years ago. Neither one ever got over it.

I loved the scripture and words of faith woven into the story. The characters are down-to-earth and showed a hunger to become a better version of themselves. Cole's past hurts and his ability to become successful still leaves him empty.

The message of the story is that God always has someone for everyone, and we should trust him to work things out for the best. A heartwarming, uplifting, and inspirational read that made me sad when it ended. I feel it's Dora's best so far. Loved it and highly recommend it.

But soon after delivering Aria, her sister disappeared, leaving Harper to raise the child as her own. As a single parent, Harper doesn't have time for dating. So much has changed since she left Laurel Cove, including her budding faith, but one thing hasn't…her love for Denton.

When Harper returns for a new job in the university, a beautiful little girl hiding behind her dress, Denton doesn't believe Harper's claims that Aria is not his child. Given the timing, how could she not be his daughter? Angry and demanding custody, will Denton finally accept the truth? That his heart yearns for a lifetime with this beautiful woman, transformed by motherhood and faith, and the daughter he wishes were his. That money can't buy true and lasting happiness, and the precious gift of salvation is priceless…

MY REVIEW

This is my first experience with reading any of Amy Kavalaris' books. She is an author but also a fantastic illustrator. Good Morning Little One is a large-size hardcover book with a beautifully drawn and painted cover done in soft watercolor style.

Inside the book, each page is filled with easy-to-read rhyming verses filled with God's message. It is a joy to read to any child and one they can easily relate to. The verses are filled with promise and hope. The drawings that clothe each page are done in beautiful watercolor and will hold a child's attention.

As an adult, I found myself immersed in the message and loving the illustrations. Highly recommended.

High Wire Heartbreak Blog Tour and Giveaway by Anna Schmidt

 

 

About the Book

Book: High-Wire Heartbreak

Author: Anna Schmidt

Genre: Christian/Romance/History

Release date: January 1, 2022

In 1936–A party at the Ringling mansion Ca d’Zan in Sarasota, Florida, leads to a robbery–and possibly death.

A successful historical mystery writer, Chloe Whitfield comes to Ca’ d’Zan to research her next novel. Chloe’s fascination with the circus is rooted in family stories of her great-grandmother Lucinda Conroy, who reportedly was a trapeze artist of some renown. She’s heard hints of scandal—and perhaps larceny, but no details.

Chloe’s grandmother—rumored to be Lucinda’s only offspring—was raised in an orphanage and never knew her mother. Intrigued as she is, Chloe has no intent of writing about Lucinda until she sees a poster featuring Lucinda as the star performer for a 70th birthday gala for John Ringling in May of 1936. From there the trail goes cold.

Who was Lucinda and what happened to her?

MY REVIEW

The story revolves around the Ringling Brother's Circus in 1936. The historical details as a backdrop is well done and made me feel as though I was there along with the main characters.

I loved hearing the story of Lucinda Conroy from two different time periods, hers and that of a historical mystery writer, Chloe. Lots of mystery, deception, scandal, and intrigue are included in the storyline to keep me engaged.

A very well-written tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It's one of the best stories I've read this year and hated for it to end. Highly recommend.

I received an early copy from the author and voluntarily choose to review it.

More from Anna

It’s hard to split time living between Wisconsin and Sarasota Florida and NOT get caught up in the circus world! The Ringlings are icons in Sarasota where a LOT of things are named for them! But the five circus brothers got their start right here in Wisconsin. So, when the opportunity to create a story for DOORS TO THE PAST came my way, it was pretty much a no-brainer that I would go with John and Mable Ringling’s incredible home, Ca ‘d Zan as the setting. Then somehow, I stumbled on this picture:

and I knew she was my character of Lucinda, the trapeze artist whose story would drive my novel. I hope you fall in love with her—and Chloe—as I did, and most of all I hope you’ll be in touch to let me know what you thought at  http://booksbyanna.com.

HAPPY READING and all best wishes, Anna

Author: Molly Jebber

Genre: AMISH HISTORICAL ROMANCE

Release date: January 25, 2022

As the daughter of a wealthy rancher, Magdelena Beachy may not truly need her job at the Amish Charm Bakery, but she enjoys tending to customers, be they neighbors or curious Englischers. Only one thing would make life sweeter, and that’s if Toby Schlabach would court her. It’s not just his dimples and smile that warm Magdelena’s heart—she admires his kindness and values. Yet she worries their chance may slip away . . .

With his daed ill and his mother and sister depending on him, Toby can’t yet offer Magdelena the future she deserves. But even as he nears his goal, he learns her father has arranged a match with another suitor. Magdelena risks shunning if she goes against her family. Choosing a path will take courage as well as faith—in God’s plan, and in this steadfast, tender love . . .

My Review

Another great read from Molly. I am always warmed when I read her Amish stories. This one was no exception.

The characters are warm, caring people who go out of their way to help anyone in their community. Magdelina is strong, yet tender-hearted, and close to her parents. Her life is filled with turmoil when she is forced to choose to go against her parent's wishes to be with the man she loves. Is there an answer to keep within the roots of her Amish faith? There seems no way out.

Magdelena's Choice shows a time of struggle, misunderstanding, healing, and finding true love. There are some surprises at the end that I didn't see coming. This book is a wonderfully inspirational and heart-warming tale. I highly recommend it.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and willingly choose to review it.

Magdelena faces difficult decisions when having a difference of opinion with her parents. If she goes against them, she’ll face serious consequences.  Sometimes we have family situations that arise, and they require us to search our heart for how to deal with them. Toby also faces hardship, tragedy, and being judged wrongly by others. Toby and Magdelena are sure God has a plan for their lives, but they’re not sure if they are following his will. They pray for guidance. You’ll enjoy their friends and how they come into play in this story. We all have friends we love, and memories we make with them. They root for us. The same goes for this couple. You’ll wonder what will happen next, and just when you think things are better, something else happens. I hope you enjoy the story.
