Can’t Wait Wednesday: Fire Storm by Nancy Mehl

June 19, 2019 by Suzie Waltner 2 Comments

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally, they’re books that have yet to be released. It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. If you’re continuing with WOW, feel free to link those up as well! Find out more here.

Book one of Nancy Mehl’s Kaely Quinn series had some jaw-dropping moments, so I’m expecting more of the same in the second book.

Can’t Wait Wednesday: Underestimating Miss Cecilia by Carolyn Miller

Happy hump day! Today is the last day of my mini-vacation/writing retreat. I’m kind of dreading heading back to the office tomorrow. But…life! Thank goodness I can always escape in the evenings into a great story. And Carolyn Miller knows how to immerse her readers in the regency world!

Underestimating Miss Cecilia comes out in July and this one is already at the top of my tbr list. In fact, I’ve seen a few people post pictures of their influencer copies on social media, so here’s hoping mine is in my mailbox now.

About the Book

Shy, sweet Cecilia Hatherleigh has always been in love with Edward Amherst, the boy next door. Yet he’s never seen her as anything but the quiet girl in the background as he flirts with the other vivacious women of the ton.

When a near tragedy brings Edward’s attention to his family duties, this prodigal son decides he needs to settle down with a proper wife. Cecilia hopes to convince him to choose her—but God may want her to forget the wayward nobleman and put her future in His hands alone.

These two try to find their way toward happiness, but prejudice, political riots, and the changing face of England’s societal structures begin to block them at every turn. Can their struggles turn to triumph—or will their paths permanently diverge?

June 5, 2019 by Suzie Waltner 1 Comment

I’ve read some good debuts so far this year, and Caleb Breakey’s July release looks like it’s going to be another one.

About the Book

Welcome to the string, a game of impossible decisions and deadly consequences. Let’s go over the ground rules.

Rule #1: Participation is mandatory.
Rule #2: If anyone refuses to play, all threats will come to pass.
Game on.

Get ready for a deadly social experiment as a sociopath known as The Conductor delivers disturbing threats and twisted moral dilemmas to unsuspecting students and staff.

As a powerful instinct for self-preservation sweeps through the campus, one man has a grave decision to make. Will university cop Markus Haas play the game to protect those he loves? Or will he break the string and incite massive chaos–and even death?

In the great suspense tradition of Ted Dekker and Steven James, Caleb Breakey’s explosive debut novel will have you turning pages into the night.

I am a fan of many genres, there are few I don’t read. Historical romance ranks high on my list, and I’m looking forward to the second book in Karen Witemeyer’s Patchwork Family series.
