Review of “Witness Escape” by Sami A. Abrams

I really enjoy books by Sami A. Abrams. She does a great job of bringing the suspense from the very beginning and this book is no exception. I am glad that the author chose to use a name similar to Tabitha for her alias because otherwise I think that I would be a lot more confused. I really loved all the characters in the novel. And trying to puzzle out who was behind everything made the book so good. I definitely did not figure this one all out. I would definitely recommend this book.

I received a complimentary copy from the author. The opinions in this review are my own.

Review of “Hidden Secrets Between Them” by Mindy Obenhaus

I’m a big fan of books by Mindy Obenhaus. This book is the fifth book in the Hope Crossing series. These books do not need to be read it order to enjoy them. Set in Hope Crossing, Texas, the novel is about Kirsten Reynolds, her twin boys, and Brady James. This book includes the trope of a guy not knowing he is a father. I thought this story brought out all emotions. It had some great lessons woven throughout the plot including living life to the fullest. I would definitely recommend this book.

Review of “Coffee Break” by Lori Hayes

This is a brand new author for me and I was excited to read it because she is a North Carolina author. I also love coffee so that drew me into wanting to read this book as well. However, this is one of those books that make me wish they had a rating system like the movies because it had a little more sexual descriptions in the book than I would have liked. I usually only read Christian fiction because of that but I would give other authors more of a chance if I had an easy way to tell that they are closed door romances. Other than the spice in the book that was not appealing to me, the rest of the book was good and the spice to me added nothing to the plot.

Review of “The Wedding Veil” by Kristy Woodson Harvey

I have read only one of her books before this one and it had several curse words but no explicit sexual material that I could remember. However, I do not remember which curse words it included. Even though I usually read Christian fiction or clean fiction, I decided to give this author one more try because this book had my favorite North Carolina attraction in it which is Biltmore Estate. This novel is a split time novel which is set during the time of the Vanderbilts and also present day. I was disappointed but not surprised that this book also had curse words in it. Because I could not remember if there was any sexual material in her previous book I read and any sexual innuendos, I was not sure what to expect of that in this one. I was hoping that there would not be any but there was some which though were more than I would have liked they at least were short. This book was from the point of view of three women and some a little disjointed at times even though two of the women were related. I personally do not want to read anymore books by this author due to the curse words and slight sexual material. I would have enjoyed it much better and passed it on to someone else if those things had not been included. I also do not think the story would have suffered without them; in fact, I feel the story would have been much better if they had been left out.

Review of “Love on a Whim” by Suzanne Woods Fisher

This is the third novel in the Cape Cod Creamery series. The main female character is Brynn Haywood and she is the best friend of the main female character from the first novel in the series. I absolutely loved this book. However, when I finished this novel, I found myself wanting it to last longer. I would really love it if the author wrote another book in this series. Overall, I would recommend this read.
