Blurb: Luke Granger is about to get more than he bargained for… As owner and manager of the Hardman bank, Luke Granger is a man of responsibility and integrity in the small 1890s Eastern Oregon town. Calling in a long overdue loan, Luke finds himself reluctantly accepting a bargain in lieu of payment from the shiftless farmer who barters his daughter to settle his debt. Philamena Booth is both mortified and relieved when her father sends her off with the banker as payment of his debt. Held captive on the farm by her father since the death of her mother more than a decade earlier, Philamena is grateful to leave. If only it had been someone other than the handsome and charismatic Luke Granger riding in to rescue her. Ready to uphold her end of the bargain as Luke’s cook and housekeeper, Philamena is prepared for the hard work ahead. What she isn’t prepared for is being forced to marry Luke as part of this crazy Christmas bargain. My Review: I truly enjoyed reading The Christma...

Blurb: Trouble is brewing in Village. Once a utopian community that welcomed strangers, Village will soon be cut off to all outsiders. As one of the few able to traverse the forbidding Forest, Matty must deliver the message of Village’s closing and try to convince Seer’s daughter Kira to return with him before it’s too late. But Forest is now hostile to Matty, too, and he must risk everything to fight his way through it. Messenger is the masterful third novel in Lois Lowry’s Giver Quartet, which includes  The Giver, Gathering Blue,  and  Son —all newly designed!   My Review: So books one and two finally come together in book three!  I was really bothered that book two didn't provide the answers I sought from book one, but The Messenger answers some of them!  I am hopeful that book four answers the rest.  I have to say that I really loved Matty's character.  He was so sweet, kind, loving and truly one of a kind.  I enjoyed learning ...

Blog Tour hosted by I Am A Reader November 4th to 21st Tour Schedule   The Match Maker by Karey White (The Husband Maker #2) (Summary contains spoilers if you have not yet read book #1 The Husband Maker ) It’s been six months since Charlotte and Kyle broke up, and the Husband Maker strikes again. Kyle is officially engaged, while Charlotte is still nursing a broken heart. In an effort to get Charlotte out of her rut, she and her best friend decide it’s time for some good old-fashioned matchmaking. While Aleena arranges for Charlotte to meet up with a handsome Scottish tourist, Charlotte gets her two best friends together. But when sparks start to fly between Aleena and Angus, Charlotte is left feeling more alone that ever--at least until the charming Scotsman becomes more than just a safe, rebound guy and teaches her that maybe, just maybe, she can dare to open her heart again. My Review: Book two in the Husband Maker Series had me turning pages as quick...

Blurb: Flying from city to city in her job as a busy corporate trainer for a successful direct sales company, Kenzie Beckett doesn’t have time for a man. And most certainly not for the handsome cowboy she keeps running into at the airport. Burned twice, she doesn’t trust anyone wearing boots and Wranglers, especially someone as charming and handsome as Tate Morgan. Among the top saddle bronc riders in the rodeo circuit, easy-going Tate Morgan can handle the toughest horse out there, but trying to handle the beautiful Kenzie Beckett is a completely different story.  As the holiday season approaches, this Christmas Cowboy is going to need more than a little mistletoe to win her heart. My Review: Caution:  You may fall in love with a fictional cowboy named Tate! I loved this story so much! The chance meetings at the airport and the flirting back and forth! Family, rodeos, Christmas, trust issues, yeah this book covers it all! The entire book consumed my thoughts until ...

Blurb: Tori has spent the past seventeen years trying to ignore her ability to see unnatural creatures.

After a new student from London transfers to her performing arts school, she soon discovers her life has been a lie and someone wants her dead. Raven’s father, a renowned British demon hunter, has tasked him with guarding the one person who can inadvertently bring about the end of the world. Unfortunately, Raven’s record of success has fallen short lately and his confidence is shaken. Worse, Tori seems determined to freeze him out. Can he win her trust quickly enough to prevent the Apocalypse? My Review: I have read quite a few of Rogers' books and this one blew me away! There are so many twists and turns; every time I thought I knew what would happen, that theory would be...

My Review: I love this small and powerful little book about making Christ the center of our Christmas celebration!  I feel motivated and anxious to begin new traditions inspired by Freeman.  I think what I love the most is that you don't have to come up with your own ideas, you can borrow Freeman's and she gives plenty of them.  I will forever look at the nativity with more meaning...
