A Better Tomorrow for the East End Library Girls

Cordelia, Mavis and Jane were known as the Library Girls.  But they were so much more than that.  Each played such an important role in the community that they lived. 

You will love each one of them.  Cordelia or Lady Cordelia worked hard to make the library a place for all. Mavis fights for better housing for her friends and neighbors. Jane attempts to get along with her difficult mother in law. 

How hard it must have been to live in those times. Loved ones off fighting in different countries. Sirens going off and having to rush off to the air raid shelters not knowing if your house will still be standing when you come out. Foods rationed and shortages everywhere. They did the best they could to survive. 

Thank goodness the Library Girls had each other, the people in their community and the library.

A Better Tomorrow For The East End Library Girls

As the war nears its end, the library girls rally for their community...

With London still in the grip of war, Cordelia, Mavis, and Jane find themselves facing a new challenge. Determined to make a difference, the librarians band together to organise rent strikes, standing up against dirty landlords and unfair practices.

Meanwhile, with the arrival of American GIs in the East End, Cordelia is presented with a temptation too irresistible to bear. Should she follow her head or her heart – stay faithful to her beloved Robert fighting abroad, or enjoy the brief respite from the constant air raids and destruction?

As the women fight for what’s right, the promise of a better tomorrow begins to take shape. But will their efforts be enough to secure a better life for their community?

A stirring tale of courage and camaraderie, perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Elaine Roberts, and Lesley Eames.

Abducted. Trapped. Hunted. Grace Benson must find a way out… or die trying.

After her harrowing escape from a kill order, Grace thought she’d return to a normal life, only to be abducted from her home.

Meanwhile, FBI investigations into the murders of a congressman and his staff uncover a shocking link to Grace’s abduction, threatening international stability.

Desperate to survive, Grace allies with an unlikely partner—a child who knows the bunker’s secrets—but as they navigate the treacherous tunnel system, a misplaced step echoes through the corridors, alerting a deranged captor who now closes in, gun in hand.

If you like Alex Cross, Gabriel Allon, you will like this unpredictable, fast-paced suspense thriller.

Hidden Secrets Book Excerpt 6

“The story about me growing up in a foster home was a lie.” Javier kept his scowl fixed on the bar’s worn surface.

Simon blinked. “Okay, why? You and your folks don’t get along?”

Javier hung his head, a gesture heavy with more than just denial. “It’s worse. The business, uh, I can’t get involved in the business.”

Simon puzzled over this. Sure, it wasn’t uncommon for children to shy away from a family business, but to fabricate a story of foster care? That was a drastic step. Most didn’t lie about it.

“My mother agreed not to spill the beans. But now…” Javier rubbed his eyes. “I don’t know what to do.”

Not knowing the whole situation, Simon didn’t comment.

Javier sighed again, a sound heavy with unsaid words. “I may follow your footsteps.”

Simon’s resignation from his senatorial position months earlier had been a decision born of necessity, a path chosen amid a thicket of complexities. While Javier wasn’t a senator, he was a US congressman. Was he facing a similar crossroads?

“You’re thinking about resigning?” Simon kept his voice steady but his heart not quite so.

“I can’t see another way out.”

“What’s the problem? Anything I can do?”

About the Author

S.F. Baumgartner writes fast-paced Christian suspense thrillers. Book 1 of her Mirror Estate series, Living Secrets, was selected as one of the Top Picks in the thriller category at Killer Nashville, 2024. Her love for writing comes second only to her love of reading. When she’s not busy writing about complex characters, secretive operatives, and relentless agents, she spends her time binge-watching crime TV shows, such as NCIS, or playing with her cats. If you enjoy James Patterson’s style—specifically short chapters—you’ll love her Mirror Estate series.

 

A Healing Touch

An Amish woman named Fern was quite wise.  She was a woman of few words but what she did say was powerful and to the point. Bea was hesitant to meet Fern.  Was she ready to hear what she had to say?

Sometimes we spend too much time thinking of the negatives than the positives.  We don't think of what we could gain but what we can lose.  This was what some of the characters in this wonderful book thought.  It can be scary to enter a new relationship after you have been hurt or lost a loved one.  You might feel it is too risky to go for the new job or to try for a promotion. 

An Amish girl, Anna, was willing to take the risk. Her mother was not. Conflict can occur when there is a difference of opinion. This could lead to heartbreak.

I enjoyed the book.  The characters were realistic. I always love reading Suzanne Woods Fisher's books.  

Five stars.

Bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher wrote her first novel in sixth grade, about Pompeii, a dog, and the erupting volcano (terrible ending!) and, from that point on, she was hooked on the writing life. Curiously, she doesn’t remember anyone, ever, telling her she was a talented writer. She just loved to write. (And she worked hard at the craft. She still does.)

College happened, work, then marriage, children, a sprinkling of corporate transfers, and Suzanne kept plugging away at freelancing for several magazines. (Four kids = lots of great material.)

As her children headed off to college, Suzanne had the time to get serious about writing. She wrote a little World War II love story, Copper Star, which was published by Vinspire, a small royalty press. The novel won some awards, and it also caught the eye of a wonderful agent. And that’s when things started to happen.

Joyce Hart of the Hartline Literary Agency knew of an editor at Revell Books who was looking for an author who had a genuine connection to the Plain People. Knowing that Suzanne’s grandfather was raised Plain, Joyce connected her to that editor. The result was Amish Peace: Simple Wisdom for a Complicated World, a finalist for the ECPA Book of the Year.

Thirty-some books later (in a variety of genres—historical fiction, contemporary women’s, and Amish fiction), Suzanne is still writing for that same editor at Revell Books. And she still loves to write.

Wartime Arrivals at Harbour House

The family was in turmoil when Jonathon Roby announced to his family that they were moving to a small village community in the country.  How could they give up all that they know and love?

Elizabeth, his wife, was making it much more difficult than it needed to be. 

Elizabeth was very difficult to like. She was detached and cold.  Was she a product of her own upbringing? Her husband, Jonathon, was quite the opposite.  Thank goodness for their childrens' sakes. How in the heck did those two get married?

Valuable lessons were learned.  Sacrifices had to be made. But with these sacrifices, the family did learn what was most important.

At times, I just wanted to shake Elizabeth.  She was driving me crazy. I might have left her in London.  

An interesting story set  during WWII.

B is for Bonnet

I can not even imagine how difficult it would be to become Amish.  All that you know- gone.  The things you take advantage of- gone.  

But there is so much more to gain. Jonny had much to learn. Treva had much to give.

This is the second book in this series by Shelley Shepard Gray. I read the first- A is for Amish.  I have enjoyed both books. And I do look forward to the next.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray writes Amish and Inspirational romances for Simon & Schuster, and Kensington, Harlequin, and contemporary women’s fiction for Blackstone Publishing. With over a million books in print, and translated into more than a dozen languages, her novels have been Holt Medallion winners and Inspirational Readers Choice and Carol finalists. 

Shelley has been featured in the Philadelphia Enquirer, Washington Post, Time Magazine, and USA Today. She has also been interviewed on NPR as well as numerous regional radio stations. Publishers Weekly calls her Walnut Creek series “A slow-burning, enjoyable romance… Embedded in this quaint story is a poignant message about the importance of community, compassion, and doing what’s right rather than what’s easy.” 

Shelley has hosted several well-attended ‘Girlfriend Getaways’ for Amish reading fans. Her most recent Girlfriend Getaway, hosted with bestselling novelists Amy Clipston and Suzanne Woods Fisher in Sugarcreek, Ohio, was filmed by BuzzFeed and highlighted on NetFlix’s Follow This episode on the popularity of Amish fiction.

Before writing romances, Shelley lived in Texas and Colorado, where she taught school and earned her bachelor’s degree in English literature and later obtained her master’s degree in educational administration. She now lives in southern Colorado near her grown children, walks her dachshunds, bakes too much, and writes full time. 

The Foyles Bookshop Girls' Promise

You can't marry him!  No, don't do it.  Right from the beginning I was heavily engrossed in the lives of Rosie, her friends and family.

Rosie had quite a lot on her plate. She did all that she could for her community.  She really loved working with her childhood friend, Sam. She enjoyed her volunteer work. While giving her time and attention to others, she soon realized what her future may look like.

She experienced drama and needed answers before she could find happiness.

A great story of the sacrifices families made during WWII.  I read this quickly. I couldn't put it down. I hope that there will be another book.  I have to know more about the residents.

The Foyles Bookshop Girls' Promise

London, 1918: war rages on, but the girls of London’s Foyles bookshop always have a place to feel safe.

Rosie Burrows loves being part of the Foyles team, and outwardly, she’s a happy young woman, engaged to the love of her life. But inside, Rosie faces a horrible dilemma. When Alfie enlisted, she promised to wait for him to return from France. And she has waited, quietly preparing for him to come home so they can marry. But for years her letters to him have gone unanswered, and now she doesn’t know where she stands.

To keep occupied, Rosie starts volunteering at the local school. She loves reading to the children, and takes solace in her growing friendship with the kind and gentle class teacher. But Rosie knows she can’t allow herself to develop feelings for Sam – she gave her word.

But why hasn’t Alfie answered her letters? Has he changed his mind about her? And how long should she wait for a man who may never come back?

Pretending to be the Mountain Man's Wife

Brothers of Sapphire Ranch is a series I have enjoyed.  I believe this is the 9th book.  I have read everyone.  I wouldn't have missed any.  I know that I am in for a treat. Every story has been entertaining without profanity and x -rated story lines. I really appreciate that.

Gil Coulter is searching for his brother.  During this search, he meets Jess McPharland.  She is searching for freedom from her father and the men who run the mining operation. 

This is an action packed story. Gil and Jess find themselves battling the evils amongst them while finding love and acceptance.

I could not put this book down.  I loved the story.  I have become fond of the Coulter Family.

About the Book

Book: Pretending to be the Mountain Man’s Wife (Brothers of Sapphire Ranch Book 6)

Author: Misty M. Beller

Genre:Christian Historical Romance

Release date: November 19, 2024

In the wild mountains of the Montana Territory, the Coulter ranch is a place of family, second chances…and a hidden fortune.

Determined to find his missing brother and catch the elusive mastermind behind the theft of his family’s precious sapphires, Gil Coulter embarks on a solo mission to the remote town where the criminal is rumored to reside. As Gil scours the surrounding wilderness for the thief’s hidden lair, he crosses paths with a captivating young woman who harbors secrets of her own.

Jess McPharland has spent her life hidden in the mountains, doing her best to stay separate from her family’s business. Yet the secret she’s just discovered will change her life forever. She offers a silent prayer, pleading for a man to help her conceal the truth she’s only just discovered. As if in answer, Gil Coulter rides through the trees, seeking the very criminal Jess calls Father. Now she must find a way to ask this stranger for the ultimate favor—to pose as her husband and shield her from the consequences of a change she won’t be able to hide much longer.

As Gil and Jess navigate the treacherous landscape and the greater danger from her father and his cronies, they find themselves caught in a web of danger, deception, and unexpected attraction. With each passing moment, the stakes grow higher, and the line between pretense and truth blurs. Will the love growing between them be enough to protect Jess’s secret and lead them to the justice Gil seeks, or will the truth shatter everything they’ve risked their lives to build?

From a USA Today bestselling author comes a mountain saga filled with high-stakes adventure, a pretend marriage, a secret baby, and love that heals wounded hearts.

More from Misty

In Pretending to be the Mountain Man’s Wife, the heroine and her father live in a cave which is part of an intricate catacomb hidden inside Montana mountain.

I LOVED researching cave systems, especially those in Montana, and I was amazed at how many extensive tunnels and caverns have been discovered!

One of the most well-known is Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park, located between Butte and Bozeman. This spectacular limestone cave system features a series of caverns adorned with incredible rock formations. These days, visitors can take guided tours to marvel at the intricate stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and helictites that have formed over thousands of years. The cave is also home to several species of bats.

Another notable cave system is the Bighorn Caverns, situated in the Pryor Mountains south of Billings. This complex network of caves extends for over 14 miles, making it one of the most significant cave systems in the state. Experienced cavers can explore winding passages, underground streams, and vast chambers with unique mineral formations.

The Bighorn Caverns are very similar to how I imagine the cave system was that Jess lived in. As amazing as the tunnels are to explore, I’m not sure I’d want to live in such darkness. What about you?

I pray you enjoy Gil and Jess’s story in Pretending to be the Mountain Man’s Wife! J

Blessings!

Seeking Simon

 

Dottie had no hope for a happily ever after.  Her brother took off. Her father was sick.  Her childhood friend was gone- killed in the war.  But everything changed when Simon showed up at her door.

GOD knows what he is doing. He knew Dottie's dream. He had a plan.

Simon wasn't looking for marriage or even a future in Georgia.  But then he met Dottie. His life changed at that moment.

There were some disturbing parts. It was based in the Civil War times. Much was lost. Men treating others cruelly because they have a different opinion. Sound familiar?

I finished this book quite quickly.  I was "Seeking" a happy ending for Simon and Dottie. 

Thank you Susan Sloan for giving me the opportunity to read this wonderful book.

Into the Sunset

 

Ginny deliberately has hidden herself in fear of returning to the insane asylum.  It's time to stop this now.  

Dakota has to watch his back as a family wants retaliation.  This prevents him from settling down and having any chance of a family.

Maeve is afraid of the changes that will happen in their lives if her mother remarries.

Fear can stop you in your tracks.  Fear can also motivate you to act in ways you never thought possible. This is clearly the case for the characters in this book.

This is Book 3 of the series: A Western Light.  I have read Book 1 and 2. I love Mary Connealy's books.  I couldn't put this down last night.  I had to finish this wonderful story.  

I want to thank Celebrate Lit for giving me the opportunity to review this story.

About the Author

Mary Connealy writes “romantic comedies with cowboys” and is celebrated for her fun, zany, action-packed style. She has sold more than 1.5 million books and is the author of the popular series Wyoming Sunrise and The Lumber Baron’s Daughters and many other books. Mary lives on a ranch in eastern Nebraska with her very own romantic cowboy hero.

More from Mary

Into the Sunset is the third book in A Western Light series, and I always love the wrap up of a series. In this book I’ve got a deliciously evil villain, and I’ve worked that villain in and out of the characters lives at the end of each of the first two books, but he keeps coming back. This time, he really gets what’s coming to him. Anyway, it’s not a shocking thing to say: the bad guy loses. I’ll bet most readers of my work knew that was coming. It’s the HOW that makes it fun.

My heroine is one I really enjoyed: Maeve O’Toole—a red-headed, sassy Irish lass with a mild brogue. And my hero, Dakota Harlan, has interested her from the first moment she laid eyes on him. Except that moment was several years ago, and she blamed him for her father’s death on the wagon train Dakota was leading. Then life separated them as he went on to Oregon and her family turned aside to homestead in Idaho. Now Dakota is back in Maeve’s life again. She’s had a chance to see that her anger with Dakota was unfair and has discovered that Dakota has always admired her. He’d probably scoop her up and marry her, if it wasn’t for the men trying to kill him. He doesn’t have much room for a wife in the life he’s living now.

In this story, I bring back all the characters from the earlier two books. The villain who’s been harassing them all along reappears, and the men hunting Dakota show up, too. Ginny must go to court to break the hold her evil husband has over her, declaring her insane and locking her away. She’s been hiding ever since. But now she’s ready to face him in court, but a conniving, wealthy man like her husband never plays fair.

Into the Sunset is packed with love and action, adventure and danger. All play out against the hectic railroad town of Cheyenne, Wyoming a few years after Wyoming becomes the first state to give women the right to vote. And there are some tough, smart women ready to stand between Ginny and a cruel husband. And plenty of tough smart cowboys, too. I hope you love this story!
