Is she dead?

STILL LIFE BY DANI PETTREY

What an ending!  I never would have guessed the outcome.  I was totally surprised.  This genre isn't one I normally pick up.  I was ready for a change as I seem to read the same type of book over and over.

Avery has a lot on her shoulders.  She carries the shame of her past.  She also feels responsible for her friend, Skylar.

It was enjoyable and so suspenseful.  I quickly turned page after page until the ending.

Will Avery learn to forgive herself?

Will Parker allow himself to love again?

Will Skylar be found?

Who is responsible?

Dani Pettrey has all the answers.  I loved the suspense and enjoyed this book.

This is one book that makes you eager for the ending so the mystery is wrapped up but sad when it was over.

Great book!

Amanda Cabot's A STOLEN HEART

A Stolen Heart by Amanda Cabot

Can a heart be stolen?  Is it possible?  Lydia and Travis both carried broken hearts.   They spent years guarding theirs.  They were afraid to be hurt and to hurt others.

Travis never planned to give his heart to anyone.  That is, until Lydia stepped off the coach into Cimarron Creek, Texas.  Lydia went looking for her fiancee but found so much more than that.

Lydia was welcomed to Cimarron Creek with warmth and kindness.  She quickly realized she found a home.  But she had one strike against her, she was a Northener.

This was a delightful story.  I loved the characters and the town.  I am excited to see that this is the start of a new series called Cimarron Creek Trilogy.  I am ready to see what is in store for the residents of this wonderful town.

Such A Tease by Chautona Havig

What an appropriate title for this book!  It was a tease from beginning to end.  Madeline can't sit still.  She loved to help others and often puts herself in danger.
What was she thinking when she spent the night in the bank??

Madeline appears to others as confident and strong.  But she often hides from others her vulnerability and fears.  She turns to her friend, Russell, for advice.   But she knows that GOD is there listening to her prayers.

We need to remember that there are people in our lives that are not as strong as they appear.  Everyone has a vulnerable side and needs a shoulder to lean on once in awhile.

Madeline's Aunt tries to be a matchmaker.  Madeline shows no interest.  I do wanted her to connect with......won't name names.....lol.  But no!!  Ms. Havig is SUCH A TEASE!!!

This is one reader waiting for the next chapter of Meddlin' Madeline!!
