A Christmas at Hotel del Coronado

By Kathleen Denly

MY REVIEW

Wonderful story of a daughter and her father spending a Christmas at a fancy hotel. The characters are incredibly well written in this novel. Who doesn’t love second chances, right? This read gives you a great second chance story.

I love the suspense in the story. It’s one of my favorite genres to read, and it is done well in this book. There are several twists and turns, and a terrific surprise for the readers. I knew something was going on with the characters, but one twist was a huge surprise! 

It has a fantastic faith theme, wonderful and fun characters, and enough suspense to keep the reader engaged and turning those pages! You don’t want to miss this wonderful Christmas novella!

All My Secrets

by Lynn Austin

MY REVIEW

Such a wonderfully written novel covering the stories of three women from different generations in the same family. It covers their joys as well as their sorrows. It shows that God ultimately writes our stories and can turn our great sins and sorrows into joy.

This is a Christian fiction book that actually has much about Christ and living purposeful lives unto him and leaving a meaningful legacy behind for the generations to come. It is a wonderful heartfelt, heart tugging, heart wrenching story that I will not soon forget. 

The main characters are so well done. No matter what stage of life you are experiencing, this book addresses many different situations in which we find ourselves as we travel through our lives. Two of them are sharing what they have learned with the youngest. This is a fantastically written novel that readers do not want to miss.

To Spark a Match

By Jen Turano

MY REVIEW

This was another fun read by this author. I enjoy dialogue in a book, and this book has a lot of fun and enjoyable dialogue.

The main characters were wonderful and well done. Adelaide is so fun! I love books, unique bookstores, and cats, and so does Adelaide. I really liked her character. She was a well fleshed out character who brought much life to the story. Gideon was a fun loving hero who didn’t mind Adelaide’s quirky ways and long talks. The secondary characters added much to the story as well.

The faith theme was very well done in this story, and I very much enjoyed the moral ideas put forth in the storyline.
This was a well done novel. This author really writes books that are very unique which, I think, is why I enjoy them so very much.

Storing Up Trouble

By Jen Turano

Another fun and wonderful book from Jen Turano! The characters are so incredibly fun, funny, and have faults like all of us. 

The storyline is funny, but there is also the suspense side that really keeps the reader engaged. The plot and storyline are well done. The reader will laugh out loud at the tremendous fun in the book, be totally swept away with the fun of the story, and eagerly follow the suspense side to find out what is going on that the reader can’t see! 

The faith theme in this book is slight, but the story itself is all about becoming a better person…and growing up, so to speak.
Once again, Jen Turano has produced a tremendously fun read which is definitely needed during this time. She really does write a genre all her own.

Diamond in the Rough

by Jen Turano

Another just plain fun book from this author. I could sympathize with the main character. I’m a klutz…have been all my life. She gets involved in so many “catastrophes” that her grandmother is seeking help. Poppy is such a great main character, and I love the things that come into play from previous books…especially the mention of someone getting stuck because of an interesting bustle! This author is always sure to get giggles and outright laughter from her books. Reginald is wonderful opposite Poppy. The story, characters, and faith theme all combine for another winner of a read from Ms. Turano. No one in Christian Fiction produces a novel like hers. Go buy any of her reads…and have fun! This is one of her best yet.
