Review of “Secrets in Amish Country” by Mary Alford

I have read several books by this author. This novel has so many great elements to it. There is a cold case to solve, a current crime that was made to look like a suicide, lots of suspense, and some romance to lighten all the drama. There were so many twists and turns in this novel that I did not figure out who the bad guy was on my own. It definitely kept my attention from beginning to end. I loved the relationship between the two main characters as well. I highly recommend this book.

Review of “The Pastor’s Christmas Prayer” by Mindy Obenhaus

She is one of my go-to romance authors. This novel is the fourth book in the Legacy Ranch series but you do not have to have read the others to enjoy this one. This book is about Meredith Hunt and Jonathon Bauer. They had a brief relationship when they were younger before the book starts. The book starts with Jonathon coming back to town and running back into Meredith. I will say that one of my favorite things about this book is all the characters. I am a big fan of not only the main characters but also all the secondary ones. I was grabbed into this story and felt like part of the family. This story had me feeling all the emotions. I one hundred percent recommend this book.

Review of “Defending the Innocent Target” by Carol J. Post

I have read several books by this author and loved them so she is on my definitely read list of authors. This book has several mysteries to it that really draw your attention from the beginning of the story. And the suspense starts almost from the very beginning. There are several great secondary characters in this novel that add to the plot in my opinion. The main characters, Brandi Feldman and Issac Cooper, both had a lot of baggage. I loved their interactions and the way they helped each other. I thought I had the whole thing figured out before the end but it was way more than I even thought. There were some interesting twists and turns in the novel. I definitely recommend this book.

Review of “The Memory House” by Mary Alford

I have read several books by this author and really enjoyed them. That was one thing that made me want to read this book. The other thing that made me want to read this book was the book blurb. It sounded so interesting. This novel revolves around Elise Warren and Deputy Reid Carver. It is a psychological thriller for sure. There is no romance involved. This book was so intriguing that I read it in two days. I had a hard time putting it down. It was very mysterious and reminded me of a shorter Jaime Jo Wright novel. I was able to correctly guess the relationship between the bad guy and the deceased father of the main female character. However, that did not take away from my enjoyment of the book. There were a few places toward the end of the book where paragraphs were repeated. Overall, I would recommend this novel.

Review of “Montana Christmas Target” by Terri Reed

I really enjoy books by this author. This novel is based around an artist named Fiona Halverson and FBI Special Agent Bryce Springs. Fiona unfortunately has been involved in a crime that Bryce is investigating. However, she has absolutely no idea of her involvement. They meet under less ideal circumstances which makes their relationship intriguing. Both characters are well-written. There were not many great secondary characters in this novel but the main characters were so good that I did not mind. I did find myself wanting a little bit more of what happened with Dwight who gets introduced towards the end of the novel. Overall, this novel had the right mixture of suspense and romance. I definitely recommend it.
