NUMEROLOGY - The Vibration and Energy of Numbers

Interview with Jody Hedlund

This week I would like to welcome Jody Hedlund to Caffeine & Romance.

1. How long had you been writing before your debut novel released?

I’ve been writing approximately 16 years with a hiatus during the years when I was busy having babies and changing diapers. The Preacher’s Bride was the first book I wrote after coming back from my extended break.

2. Did you always want to be a writer?

I can’t remember wanting to do anything except write! For a time, I pursued a career in social work, but after I finished getting my master’s degree in social work, I was only able to find a part time job due to a glut in the job market. The free time allowed me to focus on my writing, learn the craft, and hone my skills. I wrote about five books during those early years of my writing career, which are now safely stashed away in a closet and will never see the light of day!

3. I was reading The Preacher's Bride, and came to the end to the Author's Note. What made you pick John and Elizabeth Bunyan to be the inspiration for your characters?

I homeschool my children and during the course of teaching them history, I began to learn more about some of the great heroes of the faith. I was particularly fascinated with the little-known women who helped shaped these great men. These wives were strong, courageous, and faithful. I decided their inspiring stories needed to have a voice and be told to this generation.

4. Do you have a book you’re working on right now? Or one that will be going into print soon?

My next book is called The Doctor’s Lady. It’s scheduled to release in September of 2011 and is another “inspired-by” novel. It’s a fictionalized story based on the first white woman to travel overland West to Oregon as a missionary to the natives. It’s a marriage of convenience story, but also the tale of how a young woman overcame the odds, endured a dangerous journey, and found true love along the way. In the process, her strength and courage paved the way for all the women who came after her.

5. If you could be in any time frame/era that you wanted, which one would you pick & why?

I would love to travel back in time to the 1650’s and stand next to Elizabeth (the heroine in The Preacher’s Bride), on the day she acted as “lawyer” for her husband. I would have cheered her on as she, a mere peasant woman, stood in front of a room full of pompous and rich judges and bravely attempted to get her husband released from prison.

6. What is your Favorite form of Caffeine? (and yes chocolate counts :)

I’m a straight-up, black coffee, no cream, no sugar, kind-of gal! In fact, the stronger and richer the coffee, the better. And you know what? That describes me and my writing perfectly. I’m a no-frills writer, telling-it- like-it-is, but hopefully with a deep and passionate message.

Thank you for being with us this week, Jody. Hope to have you back sometime soon! Anything else you would like to share with our readers?

I love to connect with readers! Please drop me a line on my Facebook Page or over on Twitter! I would love to hear from you! I’m also doing a first-sighting slide show on my website/blog. If you send me a picture of YOU with my book, I’ll add it to the slide show.

Jody Hedlund is a debut historical romance novelist who was a double finalist in the 2009 ACFW Genesis Contest in Historical Romance. She received a bachelor’s degree from Taylor University and a master’s from the University of Wisconsin, both in Social Work. Currently she makes her home in Midland, Michigan, with her husband and five busy children.

Love&39;s First Bloom

Love's First Bloom by Delia Parr

Given to me by Bethany House Publisher to review

Back Cover:

Life Changes drastically for Ruth Livingstone the day her father puts a young child in her arms and sends her under an assumed name to a small village in New Jersey. There she dutifully awaits his acquittal, certain that her father, Reverend Livingstone, soon will be cleared of the outrageous accusations against him.

When tragic events transpire, Ruth finds solace tending a garden along the banks of the Toms River-a place where she can find a measure of peace amid her growing heartache. It is also here that she meets Jake Spencer, a man who both frustrates and intrigues her. Fearful of the newspapermen intent on tracking her down and unsure of whom to trust, Ruth knows she must carefully maintain her identity as Widow Malloy. But as love begins to slowly bloom, can the tenuous affection growing between Ruth and Jake withstand the secrets that separate them?

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?

This is a great book, A little slow at first, mainly because you don't have a lot of information. You're just thrown into this whirlwind of accusations, and false identities. Reverend Livingstone is accused of murdering a young woman of ill repute. So to keep his daughter out of the reporter's eyes, and the whispering of neighbors, he sends her along with the woman's daughter to New Jersey, under the cover of Widow Ruth Malloy with her daughter. Promising to send for them once he is released from the charges.

But little did either of them know, how determined the Newspaper Companies can be. To get their circulation up, the say he probably killed his daughter too...Causing Ruth to want to speak out...only thing is, she's not Ruth Livingstone anymore, and the reporters looking for her, would find her.

One Day while working on her garden, a wounded man came hobbling out of the woods, up to the cabin. At first glance, he looked like an old man, warped from years of hard work. But when Ruth meets him, she finds out, he can't be much older than her! Jake Spencer, states that he has broken his back, and has come here to finish his convalescing.

I would tell you more about Jake Spencer, but I believe in leaving secrets for the readers ;)

But I can tell you, they both have secrets, and a new found love...but are they willing to risk everything for that love?

I rate this book as 5/5 even with the slower beginning!

To the FTC and whomever else it may concern, I received this book from Bethany House Publisher. In return, I have promised to review the book but have been given the freedom by Bethany House, to give my honest opinions whether they be positive or negative.

ANGEL NUMBER 3190

Number 3190 is a compilation of the attributes and vibrations of number 3 and number 1, and the energies and influences of number 9 and number 0. Number 3 brings its influences of creativity, affability and enthusiasm, growth and expansion, joy and spontaneity, manifesting your desires, imagination and intelligence, self-expression and communication, natural talents and skills. Number 3 also resonates with the energies of the Ascended Masters.

Number 0 also relates to the God force/Universal Energies/Source, and magnifies the influences of the numbers it appears with.

Angel Number 3190 brings a message that it is time for you to stand up for yourself and take responsibility for your thoughts, actions and reactions to everything that is taking place in your world at this time. Look at any areas that may need adjusting and work on yourself from a place of self-acceptance and love. Life is about personal evolution and growth, and learning life lessons brings strength, compassion, love and self-empowerment.

Angel Number 3190 indicates that it is time for introspection, going within and learning to create the path that you wish to walk. Take responsibility for each choice and action and take each step with confidence and grace. Nurture your passions and interests and look within and find what warms your heart and allows you to express your true self. You have within you the power to choose and create the kind of life that you wish to experience.

Have the courage to stand in your truths and release fears and habits that keep you from enjoying a loving, fulfilling and joyful life. Be open and aware and learn to go within and communicate with your angels and spirit guides.

Number 3190 relates to number 4 (3+1+9+0=13, 1+3=4) and Angel Number 4.

Within My Heart

Within My Heart by Tamera Alexander

#3 in her Timber Ridge Reflections

*Click on Photo to the left, to get an inside look!

Back Cover:

Sometimes the Greatest step of faith is taken Neck-Deep in Fear.

Determined to fulfill her late husband's dream, Rachel Boyd struggles to keep her ranch afloat with the help of her two young sons. But some days it feels as though her every effort is sabotaged. When faced with a loss she cannot afford, she's forced to trust Rand Brookston, the one man in Timber Ridge she wishes to avoid. And with good reason. He's a physician, just like her father, which tells her everything she needs to know about him. Or so she thinks...

Dr. Rand Brookston ventured west with the dream of bringing modern medicine to the wilds of the Colorado Rockies, but the townspeople have been slow to trust him. Just as slow in coming is Rand's dream to build the town a proper clinic. When a patient's life is threatened, Rand makes a choice-one that sends ripples through the town of Timber Ridge. And through Rachel Boyd's stubborn heart.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?

Tamera Alexander has done it again! Another thrill seeking Romance set in the wild west. She's the bestselling author of From a Distance and Beyond This Moment, and the Fountain Creek Chronicles (some of my personal Favorites :)

Rachel Boyd, a woman who thinks she could never love again, at least not like how she did with her late husband. And neither does she want to. She's has her two young sons, one who is pulling away from her, and the other that just 'goes with the flow'. She didn't want, nor expect, the Doctor to get under her skin and into her heart, the way he did. After a terrible scare, from someone she loves, and a cow about ready to birth...Rachel doesn't think she could handle anything else...Until Dr. Rand steps into her heart.

Dr. Rand Brookston, A man who came to the west to bring modern medicine to the 'wild frontiers' of the west. Rand has had a 'crush' on Rachel since he first met her, but has only received an icy reply in return to his affections. But will he be able to convince Rachel that not all doctors are like her father? And will Rachel once again be able to love?

Great Book, I recommend it to anyone that loves the Wild West! (and even some that dont!) I would give this book a 5/5 on my rating chart!!!

In Every Heartbeat........

In Every Heartbeat by Kim Vogel Sawyer

*Click on Photo to the left, and get and inside look!

Back Cover:

As three friends who grew up in the same orphanage head off to college together, they each harbor a special plan for the future. Libby Conley hopes to become a famous journalist. Pete Leidig believes God has called him to study to become a minister. And Bennett Martin plans to pledge a fraternity, find a place to belong, and have as much fun as possible. But as tensions rise around the world on the brink of World War 1, the friends' differing aspirations and opinions begin to divide them, as well.

When Libby makes a shocking discovery about Pete's family, will it drive a final wedge between the friends or bong them in ways they never anticipated?

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?

I have to admit that when I first received this book, I was a little wary, I wasn't sure I would like it...I thought it wouldn't hold my interest, and wouldn't be mysterious enough for me....let's just say I was DEAD WRONG! lol! This book was all of that and more! It begins with these 3 college students being dropped off at school for the first time, and through the trials of saying good-bye. And right away there is trouble for Libby and Pete, which sends Bennett into the middle of the fight.

Pete is the kind of Guy you right away start rooting for! He is missing a leg, so that gives him a limp, and makes him the object of some people's pity, which her doesn't like. And he is just the sweetest guy! If I could meet someone like Pete, I think I would marry him!

Bennett, he is more of the 'bad guys'. in the fact that he is more rebellious, and doesn't really care about school, just who he's dating and what kind of fun he is able to have at any given moment.

Libby, The tomboy! She's cute, sweet, and protective...especially of Pete! So don't cross this young journalist!

I loved this book! I would give it a 4/5 on my chart!!!

Vigilante&39;s Bride

Vigilante's Bride by Yvonne Harris

(Click on the Photo to have a Look Inside!)

BACK COVER:

Robbing a stagecoach on Christmas Eve and abducting a woman passenger is the last thing Luke Sullivan expected to be doing. He just wanted to reclaim the money stolen from his pa, but instead ends up rescuing a feisty copper-haired who was on her way to marry Sullivan's dangerous enemy.

Emily McCarthy doesn't take kindly to her so-called rescue. Still, she's hoping Providence will turn her situation for good, especially when it seems Luke Sullivan just may be the man of her dreams. But Luke has crossed a vicious man, a powerful rancher not used to loosing, and Emily is the prize he's unwilling to sacrifice.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?

This is a great Christmas Action Story! When I saw the title, I knew I had to read that book! Just the name says that it's a great book. You know the old saying, 'Never Judge a book by it's cover' ? Well, I always do. I look at the picture, title, and back cover...If any of the three don't spark my interest...I probably wont be reading that book. So thumbs up to Yvonne, All three captured my attention!

Emily takes on the label of 'Mail-order Bride' in this tale of action and romance. So she's on her way out to marry a man she thinks is a wonderful Godly man. That is until Luke Robs the coach she's on, and carries her off into the night. Even then, she doesn't believe the horrific tale he tells her. Until Her fiance shows up to 'collect' her...

Luke didn't figure on getting his Heart Robbed when he was robbing the stagecoach that Christmas Eve...but like most robberies, you don't have for warning. Now all he has to do is convince the little lady that they should stick together.

I highly Recommend this book!

To the FTC and whomever else it may concern, I received this book from Bethany House Publishers. In return, I have promised to review the book but have been given the freedom by Bethany House to give my honest opinions whether they be positive or negative.

I&39;m still here!!

Hi Y'all,

I know it must seem like I have fallen off the face of the earth...But I promise, I haven't!

I recently just got a job @ Kohl's and I've been busy with training and everything to do with that. Not to mention the rest of my everyday things!

But I promise, I have about 3 Book reviews that will be coming out this next week! I feel so bad for not having these done sooner! But after these three, I'll have to find some new books to review...Maybe some holiday ones? Does that sound like a plan!

And I want to thank all y'all for not bailing on me, during my 'absence' .

Love You all!!!

A Rush of Wings

A Rush of Wings by Kristen Heitzmann

This is a review, of the newly revised copy of A Rush of Wings.

BACK COVER:

Though her panic is real, Noelle St. Claire is uncertain what danger she is fleeing. Fragmented images and slivers of memory have driver her to abandon her wealthy, sheltered life in new York for the hope of a haven-remote and safe.

Noelle's arrival at the Rocky Mountain horse ranch owned by Rick Spencer and his brother Morgan causes more than a little stir. Beautiful, vulnerable, yet strangely secretive, Noelle is an enigma the two contrasting brothers seek to unlock. But as their attentions breach the wall she hides behind, the past becomes a menacing threat from which Noelle can no longer hide.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?

I fell in love with Rick Spencer! He is like my dream man!! Mountain, Rugged, Good looking, and some sort of Cowboy! And did I mention Romantic? He's the quite one of the two brothers, God-fearin, and a real sweety! Morgan Spencer, He's the 'bad boy' sorts...You know the one you secretly like, but would never really marry? Yep, That's him! :) He brings Noelle out of her shell some, but can never get her to like the real him. Now Morgan is just as good looking as Rick, but he's not the Cowboy type...You all know what I'm talking about ;) He's the business man of the family. Flying everywhere for his job. Too much like Noelle's life before she ran away!

Noelle, To put it bluntly...the girl has problems! She's been through a traumatic experience when she was a child, which her brain choose to keep hidden in her memory. And then when her Fiance got mad that she was breaking it up, parts where coming back to her, but she didn't know that it wasn't from that horrific time in her past...she thought it was the present. So she grabs all her cash she can find, and starts riding the bus.

All I can say is, Read this Book! I loved it! It was moving in the fact that, in her darkest hours, God was able to help her, and how that no matter how much we tell ourselves, just ignoring it will help, it really doesn't. It sometimes (most of the time) makes it worse!

~ Sorry for how long it's been since I last posted...Maid to Match will be coming shortly...I've been on Vacation, and working Long Hours...so again I am sorry, and I hope to have it more regular again here soon!

Amy Inspired.

Amy Inspired by Bethany Pierce

ABOUT BOOK:

Amy Gallagher is an aspiring writer who, after countless rejections, has settled for a career as an English professor in small-town Ohio just to pay the bills. All her dreams suddenly start to unravel as rejections pile up—both from publishers and her boyfriend. But just as Amy fears her life is stuck in a holding pattern, she meets the mysterious, attractive, and unavailable Eli.

She struggles to walk the fine line between friendship and something more with Eli, even as staying true to her faith becomes unexpectedly complicated. When secrets, tragedy, and poor decisions cause rifts in Amy's relationships, she must come to terms with who she's become, her unrealized aspirations for her life, and the state of her faith. Can she dare to hope that she will find love and fulfillment despite it all?

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?

I have to say, this wasn't one of my favorites. This was one of my books from Bethany House. I mean I enjoyed it, but I would necessarily go out and tell my 10 closest friends, 'You have to have it'. I thought it was kind of slow in getting started. And then when it did get to the good part...It was like the end of the book.

Would I say , Never pick up this book? No, by all means, it was a good book. But it's not my favorite read of 2010! But I suggest, you pick up the book, and decide for yourself. :)

Got-2-LOVE Goodwill!!

Hey y'all,

I know it's been like FOREVER since I've posted....well since January :) That's in part because of my getting ready to head to college in the fall, so I have a ton of things in the process for that. But something really cool, I have officially received my student e-mail address...makes it seem so real right? Can't wait!

Anyway, back to the title of this post! lol, I'm just rambling on and on :) But I was at Goodwill the other day with my mom and little sister, and as always, I check out the book situation ($1.50 for a book, can't beat that!) since I never pay full price for a book...And low an behold, someone donated a ton of Karen Kingsbury books!!! Of course there were a few I already owned, but I am now the proud owner of : Oceans Apart, Even Now, and books 1,3-5 of the Firstborn Series, all for $9! Seriously, You can't beat that!!!

So the point of this post is, If your on a budget and you notice you haven't read any new books for what seems like forever, Check out your local Goodwill! Maybe you'll stumble on some 'new' books! (I always find christian authors, it's just finding ones I don't already own:)

Surrender the Night

Surrender the Night by MaryLu Tyndall

Book 2 in the Surrender to Destiny Series

Back Cover:

When British soldiers invade Baltimore amid the war of 1812, rose McGuire, alone on her family farm, is prey for a brutal lieutenant. In the midst of the attack, she's saved by British 2nd lieutenant Alexander Reed. Will she now have to heal, as well as hide, this wounded enemy soldier?

Alex hadn't meant to kill his superior or get shot in the process. Now badly wounded, he's at the mercy of this tomboy who obviously hates him. Can he trust her, or will she turn him over to the Americans?

Rose is having trouble keeping Alex hidden from her family, the townspeople, and the man intent on courting her. Will the discovery of Alex's presence force her to accept an abhorrent proposal?

As their love blooms, trouble looms, for the British are on the move again. This time, their target is the city of Washington. Will these young lovers at heart find themselves enemies at war?

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?

A great book by MaryLu, but I woudln't expect anything else from this great author! Even though there wasn't any pirates (well maybe a privateer) this was another Swashbuckling Romance! And it happened to be set in one of my favorite wars of America...not to mention my favorite First Lady was mentioned! Dolly Madison!!! Rose meets the famous lady and helps her out in Washington....but that's getting ahead of the story :)

As the back cover states, Rose was being attacked by Garrick...Lieutenant Reed steps in and accidentally kills his superiour, and getting shot in the leg as well. Causing him to have to stay at Rose's farm until he can walk again...and return to the British Navy.

But before he could return, he got himself stuck as their hired man...so now he does all this manual labor, that he is not accustomed to. Causing Rose and him to have to spend more time together, endagering their hearts...and their families.

This is a great book, and it can stand alone...doesn't have to be read witht he previous book in the series. I recommend you go out and get this book!

The Girl in the Gatehouse.

The Girl in the Gatehouse by Julie Klassen

click on cover to read a chapter from the book

Back Cover:

Banished from the only home she's ever known, Mariah Aubrey hides herself away in an abandoned gatehouse on a distant relative's estate. There she supports herself and her loyal servant the only way she knows how-by writing novels in secret.

When Captain Matthew Bryant leases the estate, he is intrigued by the beautiful girl in the gatehouse. But there are many things he doesn't know about this beguiling outcast. Will he risk his plans-and his heart-for a woman shadowed by scandal?

Intriguing, mysterious, and romantic, The Girl in the Gatehouse takes readers inside the life of a secret authoress at a time when novel-writing was considered improper for ladies and the smallest hint of impropriety could change a woman's life forever.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?

This was a great book. As you can tell from the back cover-or at least you should know- who she will end up with in the end. But the main reason we all read Romantic Fiction (well at least I do) is to see how the can end up together. What struggles do they go through, and how do they overcome difficulties. Now this was the first book by Julie Klassan that I have ever read, and I have to say, I was impressed. Her style of writing kind of reminded me of a modern day Jane Austin. Especially with how she has the struggles and obstacles of the characters unfold.

Mariah Aubrey, A Young-ish girl (young for now-a-days, but not for then necessarily) has been cast out of the family, because of a scandal she was involved with at a house party. Thinking to be able to get away from all of that, she moves onto her aunt's estate and lives in there gatehouse. The only thing she wasn't counting on was the passing of her aunt, and the new tenant at the main house. Who may be the person that will release her where abouts to the world.

Captain Matthew Bryant. A Rich-from-spoils-of-war kind of guy with one mission in life...Get back the girl he couldn't have because he wasn't suitable for her. So he leases this estate with an intention of buying it, and has guests over just to impress this girl (who happens to be engaged) I won't go into to much of that otherwise the plot will be gone. But has he invited the one person who could turn Mariah's world & His upside down? And will he ever admit that he has feelings for The Girl in the Gatehouse?

With her son, Dylan, in tow, Grace returns home from California. But is she returning for the right reasons? And when costly decisions from the past suddenly put her son's life and the lives of other children in town at risk, will she have the strength to stand strong and await Another dawn?

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?

This is a great book, now it doesn't really have the romance factor that most of my books I review have. But it's a great story!! Grace has been running from things her whole life, when something got sticky she left. But when circumstances make it impossible for her to run, she must 'face the music' for her actions in the past.

When Dylan gets sick, at first she thinks nothing of it...until someone mention Measles! Which she never vaccinated Dylan for, since she was scared of the chemicals it would be putting into his body, when they were practically non-existent in the U.S. what she didn't factor on, was someone who was just visiting across the seas...bring it home to her...which she brings home to the infants of Shoal Creek, Tennessee...

What will Grace do when the whole town is turned against her, how will she cope? Will she lean on God? Or will she run at the next possible timing?

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?

I have to be honest, I didn't think I would like this book at first...What with it being Sci-fi! I'm not that big into that genre...But I decided that I should give it a whirl, especially when John said it had romance in it...What girl could turn it down...Then I thought that it was going to be really 'alien-y' but they are basically regular people like you and like I.

Once you get started with this story, your not going to be able to put it down!!! I started reading thinking it was going to take forever, but then I couldn't stop reading, and I ended up staying up WAY to late :) Now the first part, is kind of slow, but once you get to the heart of the story it just gets better and better!!!

It starts with the Story of Death of the Tavern...This is the story of the beginning! And then the Secrets of Zareba is the end of the beginning...

I have to say, this has to be the hardest review to write...I'm trying to figure out what I can say, without giving away the good stuff :)

It all starts with Micheal and Triana, getting accused of cheating during a history project, because their stories are very similar, causing the teacher (Mr. Cample) to suspect them of talking to each other during the course of their projects.
So Mr. Cample calls a meeting of the Children and their guardian/parent... Dr. Jonas Harwell, adoptive father of Michael, and guardian of Triana, sits down and starts explaining everything...How these two kids who have never heard of the opposite story, could have been so alike...It takes you through reading both stories, and lets you in on some secrets of Triana, and Dr. Harwell!!'

I would say this is a must Read!!!!!!

The Sweetest Thing

The Sweetest Thing by Elizabeth Musser

Back Cover:

The Singleton family’s fortunes seem unaffected by the Great Depression, and Perri—along with the other girls at Atlanta’s elite Washington Seminary—lives a life of tea dances with college boys and matinees at the cinema. When tragedy strikes, Perri is confronted with a world far different from the one she has always known.

At the insistence of her parents, Mary ‘Dobbs’ Dillard, the daughter of an itinerant preacher, is sent from inner-city Chicago to live with her aunt and attend Washington Seminary. Dobbs, passionate, fiercely individualistic and deeply religious, enters Washington Seminary as a bull in a china shop and shocks the girls with her frank talk about poverty and her stories of revival on the road. Her arrival intersects at the point of Perri’s ultimate crisis, and the tragedy forges an unlikely friendship.

The Sweetest Thing tells the story of two remarkable young women—opposites in every way—fighting for the same goal: surviving tumultuous change.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?

Hey Y'all,

This is one of the best books yet! I always enjoy reading Elizabeth's books, because of the fact they are based in my great city of Atlanta!!! (Best place on earth btw) And they christian undertones that they always have.

Perri, now this girl has it all, money, servants, parents that adore her, and friends that worship her. That is until her father suddenly dies...Leaving their mom to find work, and eventually Perri as well.

One day, Perri's mom makes her meet a girl at the train station names Mary Dobbs coming in from Chicago to Stay with her aunt for the year, that way she could get a decent education...And her first impression is that she a a poor girl who is in need of charity...Little did she know she was looking at her best friend.

Mary Dobbs, now this girl is opposite of Perri in every way...Her hair is long, she doesn't have designer clothes, and she's wanting to become a preacher's wife that lives day to day wondering where their next meal is going to come from...that is until she gets a taste of the 'high life'.

If you pick up The Sweetest Thing, you are going to be transported in time to the depression Era, and follow these two young girls the the trials of being teenagers in the 1930's!!!

This is going to be on my 'favorites' shelf for awhile...shoot i've already loaned it out to someone for them to read :)

Tortured by guilt over his parents' death. Luke Heaton spends his time drinking and gambling. when Cassandra offers him enough money to fix up his ship, he sees an opportunity to redeem his reputation and help the lady he has loved from afar. Things go well until the British blackmail him into selling supplies to their ships. Still Luke cannot allow Cassandra's family to be tossed on the streets.

When Cassandra begins to suspect Luke's nefarious activities, she is heartbroken. Hoping to prove her suspicions wrong, she sets out to catch him in the act. But what she doesn't expect is to get caught up in a massive British invasion...and one of the most decisive battles of the war where lives, liberty, and the future of a nation are at stake.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS??

Another great adventure from Captain MaryLu Tyndall! This story captures a lot in it. The part of women having the right to do business, forbidden love, and the tug of loyalty between family and Country. Which one should come first? And how much can one handle before the other breaks?

Cassandra is deperate to get a privateer going, but no one will let her go into buisness with them. Thinking she would 'jinx' their ship. The only person as desperate as Cassandra was, was Luke...Who needed the money to make sure his brother wouldn't be turned out on the streets. The only glitch was...Cassandra insisted that he be sober on board ship...Was he that desperate?

Until his brother is kidnapped by the Redcoats, causing him to be a traitor to his country and to Cassandra.

I LOVE THIS story, and I highly recomend this book to anyone, and everyone!

Falls Like Lightning

~Sorry yall about how long this took, I've been at college, so I haven't had time to upload this. sorry for the wait....Enjoy :)

Falls Like Lightning by Shawn Grady

Back Cover:

Smokejumper Silas Kent never expected to see pilot Elle Westmore again. In fact, reuniting makes him realize what a mistake he made all those years ago. But before he has a chance to try and to make amends, he’s called to lead a new crew into battle against a massive fire in the Sierra Nevadas.

And then things go very wrong, very quickly.

A suspicious engine explosion forces the crew to parachute early while Elle barely survives a crash landing. Silas reaches the ground safely, but in beginning a desperate race to reach the downed plane, he soon realizes he has more to fear than just a raging forest fire.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?

Hey y’all, sorry this has been so long in waiting, but I’m at college, and I can’t get on blogger unless I’m off campus. But ok back to the Book. Falls like Lightning is a good book, I have to admit I thought it was slow, and not quite a page turner till about 2/3 of the way through. Would I pick it up to read it again…Probably, but not as often as some of my favorites. Silas broke Elle’s heart a long time ago when he couldn’t commit to their relationship, and now he realizes that this was the worst thing he could have ever done. Especially when he sees what it did to Elle after all these years. Sure she has been married, has a beautiful daughter, but the memories still are there along with the hurt.

Since this book was kind of slow at the beginning it’s hard to write a review without giving it all away. I will say, there is treasure involved in the story line…and not just finding the treasure of your heart either  Even though there is that too  And there is some murder, and LOVE  so all in all a good book, but if your looking for a page turner, you may not want to pick this one up….

Love on the Line

Love on the Line By Deeanne Gist

Read the first few pages by clicking on the photo.

Back Cover:

It's a Battle of Wills . . . And Love is on the Line!

Rural switchboard operator Georgie Gail is proud of her independence in a man's world . . . which makes it twice as vexing when the telephone company sends a man to look over her shoulder.

Dashing Luke Palmer is more than he appears though. He's a Texas Ranger working undercover to infiltrate a notorious gang of train robbers. Repairing telephones and tangling with this tempestuous woman is the last thing he wants to do. But when his stakeout puts Georgia in peril, he realizes more than his job is on the line.

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS??

I always enjoy Mrs. Gist's books, and Love on the Line is no different. I couldn't put it down (well I did here and there so that I could get my research paper done for college :) it was a wonderful break to my stressful schedule of classes and work. Georgia Gail was the kind of woman that in the early 1900's all wished they could become . . . but were to scared to try. At the age of 20 (considered an old maid) Georiga had her own home, own income, and a 'freedom' that most of the women dreamed of. As is true with any woman though, that didn't mean she never thought of having a family of her own.

Luke Palmer (really Lucious Landrum) was a telephone repair man/marketor. He was supposed to come to town, fix the existing telephone lines and then convice the farms that didn't have service, to get a phone. There was one hitch . . . Lucious really didn't like telephones.

When Luke comes into town, he steps off on the wrong foot all around. He's doesn't exactly portray himself as friendly...especially to his most valuable help...Georgie Gail the telephone operator. He waltzes in demanding to taking over, and claiming everything as his. And Georgie just gives as good as she gets! They eventually learn to get along...but maybe they take it too far?

I recommend this book, it's fun, full of 'danger', and of course Love ;) if you have a free day, just go sit outside with some Sweet Tea and enjoy this book under the sun!
