It’s hard to hear God’s voice when you’ve already decided what you want him to say. 

In the wilds of the rugged West, Betsy Smith discovers beauty in every corner—from the blazing sunsets to the wind murmuring secrets through the mountains. Yet, it's the magnetism of Gabe Manning, with his dark complexion and dashing demeanor, that draws her gaze. Having known him since childhood, Betsy sees in Gabe the embodiment of the heroes she admires from her a stalwart protector of the innocent, a champion of justice, a man of unshakable integrity, and a paragon of honor, guided by principles as steadfast as the mountains themselves— all while reconciling with his Arapaho Indian heritage. Yet, amid her admiration, Betsy longs for God’s reassurance that Gabe is the one for her. 

As deputy of Shumard Oak Bend, Missouri, in 1875, Gabe “Little Sun” Manning sees the allure and harshness of frontier life. Amidst the chaos, he finds solace in the presence of Miss Betsy Smith, a compassionate schoolteacher whose independence and intellect captivate him as profoundly as her beauty. Yet, as their bond deepens, Gabe wrestles with doubts about his ability to fulfill the desires of her heart. He knows she's willing to forsake her career for a future with him, but can he offer her the family she seeks? Haunted by the secrets of his past and desperate for redemption, Gabe faces his most formidable challenge yet. 

Written on My Heart is a powerful Christian Historical Romance full of resilience, redemption, and the enduring power of the human spirit.

EXCERPT:

“I don’t know what I’m supposed to do,” Betsy whispered, her voice raw.

“You don’t have to figure it out right now.” Gabe’s voice was gentle. “We’ll take it slow. One step at a time.”

He’d said we’ll. The word settled deep in her heart.

Later, when they stood in the twilight by Thunder’s saddle, Gabe offered his hand. “I’ll help you up.”

She hesitated, then took it. Warmth spread through her, unexpected but welcome. Once mounted, she adjusted her skirts, and Gabe swung up behind her, his presence steady and solid.

They rode in silence for a while, Thunder’s hooves beating a gentle rhythm beneath them. Finally, she murmured, “You don’t have to do this.”

“Do what?”

“Take care of me.”

“I want to.”

Simple words. No strings. But they wrapped around her like a warm blanket in winter.

As they approached her home, Gabe dismounted and helped her down. Their hands lingered longer than necessary.

“Thank you, Gabe.”

“Anytime, Miss Smith. You know that.”

And she believed him.

About the Book

Sunrise Reef 
Title:  Sunrise Reef 
Series:  Hope Harbor #11 
Author:  Irene Hannon 
Publisher:  Revell 
Release Date:  April 1, 2025 
Genre:  Contemporary Christian Romance

Sometimes you have to look beneath the surface to find the treasure within . . .

After years of searching, Bren Ryan has found her place in Hope Harbor. Working as a barista suits her to a T, as does the laid-back vibe of her adopted town. Nothing is lacking in her life--except romance. But that's okay. Men are a complication she doesn't need. 

Buttoned-up CPA Noah Ward isn't looking for love, either, when he arrives in town on a mission to convince his father to move closer to him. And he certainly doesn't intend to fall for the quirky, free-spirited woman who's taken up residence in his father's guest cottage. 
 
But when Noah finds himself sucked into Bren's quest to help a struggling teen, might the two of them discover there's more to each other than meets the eye?

EXCERPT:

Before he could finish that thought, something wet hit him in the face.

In the next instant, the fires of hell rained down on him, burning his eyes, nose, mouth, and throat.

He dropped his overnight bag as his eyes slammed shut. His seared lungs balked, and he started to hack. Hard. Snot dripped from his nose.

Chest heaving, he fell to his knees as waves of pain crashed over him.

If someone was trying to kill him, they were doing a first-­rate job of it.

Splaying the fingers of one hand on the floor, he groped in his pocket for his handkerchief. He had to wipe away whatever was singeing his eyeballs. ASAP.

The instant his fumbling fingers closed over the square of cloth, he yanked it out and tried to swab off whatever toxic substance was wreaking havoc.

Didn’t work.

In fact, his eyes might hurt worse—­if that was even possible.

“Help . . . me.” The hoarse, croaked plea came out in a voice that didn’t sound anywhere close to his usual baritone.

No response.

Whoever had done this to him must have a heart of stone.

Or else they’d hightailed it out of here after rendering him defenseless.

What kind of scumbag would attack an innocent man and—

Wait.

Was it possible Dad had started renting the cottage again and hadn’t told him? Had he walked in on paying guests who’d assumed he was an intruder and doused him with pepper spray?

Oh, geez.

This day was going from bad to worse.

MY REVIEW:

An enjoyable read featuring wonderful characters and a lovely setting . . .

The meet-up for the two main characters (in Chapter 2) is one of the most unique I've ever read—and I've read a lot of Christian romances over the past couple of decades!

Coffee barista, Bren Ryan, is having a really bad thirtieth birthday. Her rental catches on fire due to electrical issues in the morning, and then after dark she has a scary encounter with someone she doesn't know entering the cottage where she is staying temporarily.

The stranger is Noah Ward, the son of the cottage's owner. He is the complete opposite of Bren in almost every sense of the word, so their feathers are ruffled frequently causing both individuals to question why they were thrown together at this time.

As they work through their initial problems and learn to see the other as a friend rather than a foe, the story becomes very interesting. Their relationship grows and becomes more personal and more positive.

As always, the small Oregon coastal town of Hope Harbor has no shortage of great characters and side plots that provide readers with engaging scenes and great dialogue to enjoy.

This book is completely clean in language and content. I received a copy of this book from the publisher through JustRead Publicity Tours. All of my opinions and thoughts shared here are solely my own.

Incognito Reporter Seeks Truth and Justice

Collect a new series of six historical romances. When life seems weighed down by challenges, there are always pillars of enduring hope and love to be discovered. 

Henrietta “Etta” Maxwell, heiress to the Maxwell fortune, is a hard-hitting investigative reporter for The Enterprise Daily. The catch? Etta must pen her columns under the nom de plume, Henry Mason—a fact that routinely puts a knot in her knickerbockers. 

Leo Eriksson is a second-generation firefighter with a passion for rendering aid to those in need. When Leo discovers that Henry Mason is really Henrietta Maxwell, the fire department’s wealthy benefactress, he agrees to keep her identity secret. 

After a sudden blast rocks the Grover Shoe Factory, Leo and Etta team up to determine if the explosion is related to a series of suspicious fires in the area. But sparks fly when Leo accuses Etta of negating the human side of the disaster in her determination to get a good story. 

Will Etta go back to her socialite comforts without her story—dragging along a broken heart?

About the Book

Some Like it Scot 
 
Title:  Some Like it Scot 
Author:  Pepper Basham 
Publisher:  Thomas Nelson 
Release Date:  April 8, 2025 
Genre:  Christian Contemporary Romance 
 

She lives her life on the fly. His heart is double-knotted to home. Can two different souls create a life together? 

Popular travel writer and podcaster Katie Campbell roams the world collecting other people's stories. She's built a career as "Miss Adventure," known for saying yes to anything new--country, food, or experience--and predictably finding those adventures taking a downward turn into misadventures. 

Offered the chance to explore her ancestral roots through a three-week Edwardian experience, Katie finds herself immersed in the beauty and eccentricity of Scotland. In her period attire, with traditional foods and activities, the opportunities for misadventures are endless, especially with the presence of a maniacal macaw, a jealous co-worker, and an all-too-surly Scotsman. 

Reclusive and protective Graeme MacKerrow doesn't venture far from his island home. A stoic Scotsman, Graeme's comfort zone has always been family, and after his sister's death, he's even more determined to save the MacKerrow ancestral home and keep those he loves close. The sudden intrusion of a six-foot-one American lass, famous for her traveling misfortunes, was far from his plan. 

As this world of folklore, community, and woodworkers-in-kilts tempts Katie to discover her own story, could this one grand series of misadventures lead her directly to where she belongs? And would a settled-in-Scot ever risk loosening his grip on what's familiar to allow a wanderlust writer a home in his heart? How could their very different worlds share the same page of life's story when "home" is in two very different places? But maybe home--and the future--isn't quite what either one imagined it would be. Maybe home is less about a place . . . and more about a person.

EXCERPT:

Katie

There are some dresses that are flattering to more voluptuous figures.

After trying on four different Edwardian styles, I came to the conclusion that perhaps these weren’t those sorts of dresses.

Okay, not “perhaps”. Without a doubt. As my only high school boyfriend said, “Some girls are more like a guitar, but you are definitely a cello.”

Yeah, I dated one of those guys.

Needless to say, we didn’t date for long.

At any rate, the entire “cello” comment was coming back to haunt me as these dainty and elegant gowns found a hard time making it over the bottom of my cello. And since high school, I’d grown more into the top of my cello, so I had serious doubts about buttoning any shirtwaists too.

I rubbed at an aching spot on my temple and transferred my frustration into a chuckle. From the shapes of these gowns, rich Edwardian women were flutes.

And this cello was definitely not playing the right song for Edwardian England.

Emily, the young maid who’d attempted to dress me, alerted Mrs. Lennox of the...unfitting. The matron arrived to find my bed littered with discarded gown options and me wearing a pink day dress that hit too high on my calf and left an embarrassing pucker at my chest. With another lift of those manicured brows of hers, she ran a palm over her now perfectly smooth hair. “Well, you certainly cannot present yourself before guests with any bit of credulity in such a fashion. No high-bred lady would be caught like…” She waved a palm toward me, her frown deepening. “That.”

It took me a full five seconds to comprehend her, but the intention rang as clear as her perfectly articulated diction. The little curl of her lip probably helped too.

“Which means you won’t be able to participate in our activities until you have an appropriate wardrobe.” She nodded, running her palm over her hair again. “It’s a very good thing you arrived early enough for us to solve this little dilemma.”

“You think you can?” I waved toward the bed and cringed a little at the mound of discarded gowns. “I could just watch from the sidelines.”

“No, of course not.” The words whipped out her. “You cannot fully appreciate the experience without actually participating. We have classes on everything from meal etiquette, to dancing, to the language of the fan.” Her hand rose in imitation of a fan opening. “This is a fully immersive program which requires complete participation. How can you fully critique our experience without comprehension saturation?”

Ah, so moving from cello analogies to…sponges?

The fire in her eyes took a teensy tip toward crazy. “Sidelines are not an option.”

Super. And fully immersive classes? Why did the idea stick somewhere in my mind between ‘run away’ and ‘most embarrassing moment of your life’?

I kind of got the “obsession” feel when Mrs. Lennox gave me a ten-page booklet on the Craighill Experience which covered house rules and Edwardian etiquette.

Including…how to appropriate handle romantic relationships.

I caught my snicker before it burst out. Cello, sponge, or not, I didn’t plan to meet my perfect match at some crazy baronial home dressed as a Downton Abbey character in the middle of “nowhere” Scotland. Oh no, no! I didn’t need to compete with crazy in a relationship.

 MY REVIEW:

A unique blend of romantic comedy, Scottish culture, and observations of how past traumas shape who we become . . .  

Katie Campbell is an award-winning travel writer, podcaster, and editor from the United States. She is on assignment in Scotland where she is participating in an Edwardian experience for three weeks at the ancestral home of the MacKerrow family. Katie has some of the most comical mishaps I've ever heard of, which makes her an endearing character in my mind. Her essential character trait is her kindness toward others.

Graeme MacKerrow is a gruff, grumpy Scot who is artistically gifted as a woodworker and sculptor. He is still grieving the loss of someone very close to him a few years prior to this story. Because of this lingering grief, he is not looking for a relationship with a woman. Still, there is something endearing about Graeme's sense of humor and his caring relationships with his family members.

As the story moves on, we learn more about the traumatic events which have shaped Katie and Graeme into who they are today. The novel involves serious issues such as grief, mental illness, body-shaming, bullying, and unrequited personal dreams and career goals.

The 'punny' wit this author includes in her stories makes it a fun read for those who enjoy this type of humor. My favorite character was Lachlan, a young relative of Graeme's. He is a delight who enjoys sharing time and Scottish legends with Katie. The descriptions of the Scottish countryside, folklore, and traditions throughout the book were engaging. The faith thread was very light.

This book is completely clean in language and content. I received a copy of this book from the publisher through JustRead Publicity Tours. All of my opinions and thoughts shared here are solely my own.
