Review of “Since You’ve Been Gone” by Tari Faris

This is the third and last book in the Restoring Heritage series. The series also included two novellas. This is one series that you will definitely want to read in order and in its entirety. It is so good that when you get to this book you will find yourself sad that it is ending. Tari Faris does a great job making her characters and the world they live in come to life. I find myself imagining that I am there in Heritage sitting on Otis the hippo for a bit reading a book that I got from the really cool sounding town library. Then I’ll go visit the local diner for coffee and breakfast. Even though the blurb on the back only mentions two characters, there are also two other characters that I would say are main characters as well. One of those was in one of the previous books in this series. Oh and do not worry Otis the hippo definitely makes an appearance.

Review of “Lethal Cover-up” by Darlene L. Turner

This is book three in the Border Portal series. You do not have to read them in order to enjoy each one. It is the second book I have read by Darlene L. Turner. She definitely does suspense well. Unlike some suspense novels, you do not have to wait one page before the suspense starts which may be because these books are short. And the puzzle draws you in and holds you there until the very end. I definitely recommend this book.

Review of “The Siren’s Captain” by Regina Scott

This is book number six in the Grace-by-the-Sea series and I would say if you have not read the others, then you will not enjoy this one as much. I am excited to say that the main male character in this one is Captain St. Claire. To me, he has been one of the most elusive characters in the series so far and so I have been wanting to know more about him. However, the main female character is a brand new character to this series. She definitely brings her own intrigue to this story. Like the other books in this series, this one will draw you in so much that you lose track of time while reading it.

Review of “Royally Confused” by Jill Boyce

I have read all of Jill Boyce’s other books which are a different series called “A Dose of Love”. And I also read the short prequel to this book which is called “Royally Surprised”. This is the first book in the “Royal Medicine” series. This book centers around Claire Thomson whereas the prequel tells about how her parents met and what happened with them. The author does a really good job of drawing you into the lives of her characters. Similar to fairy tales, there is one character who is out to get the main character, Claire, and is not nice at all. I would definitely recommend this book.

Review of “Finding His Family” by Christina Miller

This is my first book by Christina Miller. In “Finding His Family”, Abe Armstrong runs a gym in his hometown of Natchez which is where he has his first encounter with his wife that he abandoned four years prior. Unbeknownst to him, she was pregnant at the time. However, he finds out about his daughter on this same encounter at the gym when Rosemary brings her dad for his boxing class to help with his Parkinson’s disease. Unlike a lot of the books I have recently read where a guy does not realize he is a father, I think this is the first one I have read where the couple was married and then the guy left but they never got divorced. I think that adds an interesting twist to this particular story. I really enjoyed reading this book. It was well written and I loved that you find out Abe does not want his gym to fail because that would mean the boxing class would have to end. The same boxing class he started specifically for the pastor that helped his family as a kid. I found that this novel definitely pulled at my heartstrings.
