“You Belong With Me” written by Tari Faris was the first time I had encountered this author. It takes place in a small town in the northern part of the United States. Like with many small older towns, time has taken its toll. When this happens, there is usually one or more people who desire to see it revived. If you are a nostalgic, sentimental person, this book will tug at your heart. This book will appeal to those looking for romance and an element of mystery. The story deals with struggling relationships, trust issues and misunderstandings. Have you ever felt like you had to fix things or that you needed to be in control? Do you think God has a plan for your life? Scripture tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 that God does indeed have a plan for our lives. Faris’s book is an example of what might transpire in our lives if we give God control and wait on His perfect timing. I would highly recommend this book. It appears there will be a sequel, and I cannot wait to read it.

I had never heard of Erin Bartels before but I really liked the title, cover and summary of this book, “The Words Between Us”, so I was really looking forward to reading it. I have to say she did not disappoint me. I would definitely read another one by her. In fact, I would love a sequel to this one. In this book, Erin Bartels moves between past and present. I don’t always appreciate the way an author transitions between the past and the present but I think Erin did an excellent job of making it not only flow but it easy to tell which one you were reading about. She labeled the past chapters with the word, “then”, and the present with the word, “now”. Also up until the end of the book, each time was one chapter so it went now and then and now and then and so forth til Chapter 37. Erin also did a great job of keeping you on the edge of your seat wanting to know more about what the main character was going through and how she would handle it all. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes human interest stories.

If you like suspenseful romance novels without all the explicit sex and bad language then Joanna Davidson Politano’s “Finding Lady Enderly” is just the book you’re looking to read. This books was hard to put down with the edge of your seat situations that occur throughout the book. My favorite thing in this book are the notes that the main character and her love interest exchange using books. They using the initials of the author, a colon, the initials of the book, and then the page number to tell the other where to look for an underlined passage. The underlined passage is the message for the other person. I really like on page 92 where the author says “My dear lady, carrying yourself with poise doesn’t mean you believe yourself to be perfect. It simply means you aren’t bothered by the parts that aren’t.” I also really like on page 163 where the main character’s love interest tells her “The weakest version of the real you is stronger than the best imitation of someone else.” One thing I think that people will be surprised about in regards to this book are the life lessons that you can take from it. I highly recommend this book and I intend on going back to read other authors other books.

Deadly Intentions by Lisa Harris is a must read for anyone who enjoys a good mystery packed full of suspense. Harris does an excellent job in developing a most complex plot designed so as to hold the reader’s attention. From the very beginning, the reader is drawn into the lives of the characters, experiencing a roller coaster of emotions. You find yourself trying to connect the pieces and trying to make sense of what appears to be unconnected events. Just when you think you have things figured out, you are thrown a curve. This is definitely an excellent read!

I enjoy mystery books, and Lynette Eason has become one of my favorite authors. “Vow of Justice,” the fourth book in the Blue Justice series, by Lynette Eason is filled with suspense and will keep you on the edge of your seat from the beginning to the very last page. I found it hard to put it down! Even though this book is the fourth in the series, it didn’t seem like you missed out much by reading it out of order. For those of you familiar with Lynette Eason, you will not be disappointed with this book, and for those of you who like suspense but are unfamiliar with Lynette Eason, you are in for a real treat! She is definitely on the top of my go to author list.
