Welcome to the weekend! Who had Monday off? I did but these short weeks sometimes feel like the longest ones. Can anyone relate? At least the long weekend allowed me to get an extra book knocked off my toppling TBR!

There was just one blog tour giveaway this week but because I’m at the end of a couple next week, I’m including them in this post so you don’t miss out on the giveaways (be sure and come back to read my reviews for Fate of the Redeemed and Hope’s Highest Mountain).

Christmas Angels by Nancy Naigle – Review

October 19, 2019 by Suzie Waltner 1 Comment

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas….reads! I love it when Christmas books start coming out each year, and this year, they’re getting an early start.

About the Book

A heartwarming Christmas story filled with the magic and miracles of the holiday season by USA Today Bestselling author, Nancy Naigle.

Growing up, Liz Westmoreland dreamed of taking over her grandparents inn located in the small mountain town of Antler Creek only for it to be sold before she ever got the chance. While browsing the internet, she stumbles upon a listing for what looks to be the picturesque inn and it’s set to go to auction. Liz places a bid, and by a miracle, wins the auction. But when she gets there she finds the property in significant disrepair.

When Matt Hardy narrowly lost the inn and property that butted his land, he just hoped it wasn’t another city slicker coming to make matters worse after the previous owners gutted the place for an art gallery. But the minute he recognized the sweet, freckle-faced girl from his childhood and heard her plans to reopen the inn, he jumps at the chance to help his childhood crush restore a place where he made so many fond memories.

While working on repairs, Liz and Matt discover her grandmother’s collection of angels in one of the cabins. When the angels start mysteriously showing up all over the inn, she begins to look at them as reassurance—that restoring the inn is what she’s meant to do. But when an accident leaves Liz feeling like she made a mistake, will Matt—and the residents of Antler Creek—be able to show Liz that she’s found a home? And possibly true love as well?

About the Book

Hired to protect her

…unable to resist her

The job sounds simple: teach a businessman’s daughter how to stay safe. But former navy SEAL turned bodyguard Kyle Frasier has a personal motive, too. Harper Jansen is his late best friend’s fiancée. Loyalty demands he protect her, not that Harper looks in need of rescuing. In fact, it’s Kyle who needs help—balancing duty with his desire to build a life with the one woman he shouldn’t want…

First Line Friday: The Death of Mungo Blackwell by Lauren H. Brandenburg

First Line Friday Autumn

Happy Friday, everyone. It’s finally feeling like fall here in Tennessee and I could not be happier.

This week I’m sharing the first line from The Death of Mungo Blackwell written by my friend and fellow middle Tennessee author Lauren H. Brandenburg. Lauren has indie published several middle grade books and is well known around the Realm Makers fandom. Since today is the US release of The Death of Mungo Blackwell, I wanted to share it while it’s hot off the presses. Although, if you’re not in the US, you’ll have to wait until November for this Lion Hudson Fiction release.

About the Book

Young line producer Danny Byrd is well-known in Hollywood for being someone who gets things done on time and under budget. But when his reputation takes a beating after his partner–and former best friend–makes off with their investors’ money, Danny has but one chance to redeem himself and restore his ruined career.

LA lawyer Megan Pierce has sacrificed years of her life proving herself to her impossible bosses only to find herself disgusted at their snobbery and their specious business practices. When an opportunity to actually make a difference comes her way, she knows she has to grab it–even though she’s not entirely clear what “it” is.

Danny and Megan are each other’s best hope for redemption. What they never could have imagined was that they might also be each other’s best hope for love.

Bestselling and award-winning author Davis Bunn takes you into the beating heart of Hollywood with two characters determined to thrive in a cutthroat business.
