Review of “A Family to Foster” by Laurel Blount

I have read several books by Laurel Blount and really enjoyed all of them. This novel is no exception. The book is a really good second chance romance. The main characters are Patrick Callahan and Torey Bryant. They dated in high school but then went their separate ways for years until Torey comes back to town to help her mom. Not only are the main characters really interesting to read about in this book, the secondary characters are just as well written. Patrick is fostering two kids with the intention of adopting them but his past as well as his family is not helping make that happen. Torey has to decide whether she is really happy at her current job or if she wants something different. This novel was really well written and I definitely recommend it.

Review of “Summer in the Spotlight” by Liz Johnson

This is the first book I have read by this author though it is the third book in the Prince Edward Island Shores series. The two main characters are Kelsey Ahern and Levi Ross. I really like how Levi communicates without really using a lot of words especially since Kelsey tends to talk quite a bit. I can relate to both of them in that I can be like Levi when I am around someone I do not know well or Kelsey when I do know a person well. There are also some really good secondary characters such as Dustin Crowder and several family members of Levi. This book has some twists that will surprise you and makes the plot that much more intriguing. I really enjoyed this story.

Review of “Forever Home” by Hope Toler Dougherty

This is the first book I have read by this author and it is book three in the Forever series. I love that it takes place in my home state of North Carolina. The two main characters are Merritt Hastings and Sam Daniels. I have to say that I sometimes find that some of the best books have great secondary characters and this one definitely does. One of my favorites is Ms. Connie. I also really enjoy Merritt’s memories of Millie, the lady who took her in. The author does such a good job of bringing reality to this story. Merritt was raised in the foster care system. And while it seems like Sam has the perfect life, things aren’t always what they seem. I definitely enjoyed this book.

Review of “Countdown” by Lynette Eason

Countdown by Lynette Eason is a must read suspense book. The reader is drawn into the book from the very beginning. The main characters, Raina and Vince, are both harboring secrets and regrets from their past. Raina has trust issues even where her best friends are concerned, and although she is in need of help, she hesitates to ask for it. Like many, she feels people, even those close to her, will judge her based on her past. As her story unfolds, the plot becomes more complex. For whatever reason, someone is trying to kill her; Vince is trying to keep her safe. Eason does an excellent job developing both major and minor characters. This book is a real page turner, and the reader will have difficulty putting it down.

Review of “Mountain Abduction Rescue” by Darlene L. Turner

I am a big fan of books by Darlene L. Turner. She has a way of bringing life to her characters that makes them really jump off the page. Hazel and Mitchell have known each other for awhile. They have not seen each other for years but now circumstances have brought them back together. This novel has so many good themes to it. It has forgiveness, return to faith in God, second chance at love, and family reunited. It is action packed from beginning to end. I highly recommend it.
