I can hardly wait for Patricia Bradley's newest book to release. Standoff is the first book in her Natchez Trace Park Rangers series and it is going to be a great series. It will release on May 5, 2020, but you can pre-order a copy now at Amazon.

The Land Beneath Us is the third book in the Sunrise at Normandy series by Sarah Sundin. While the first two books in the series are excellent, I loved this one the best. The series is about three brothers who are serving in the Air Force, Navy and Army all during the time of the invasion of Normandy during WWII. In this last book of the series, the reader meets the parents of the three brothers and that is what makes this book the best because you get to see why the boys are the way they are.
Sarah Sundin is one of my favorite authors and definitely my favorite author of military romance novels. She can put you in the cockpit of a B17, on the deck of a ship at sea and in a crater at Pointe du Hoc. She can make you feel your surroundings and breathe the air that the characters are feeling and breathing. Her characters are as real as they get.
I loved this entire series and would highly recommend that you pick all three books up and read them in sequence. They can be read as stand-alone books but you might feel a little lost at times. The first book is The Sea Before Us (Wyatt's story), the second is The Sky Above Us (Adler's story) and this last book is Clay's story. I guarantee you will love each book and all three brothers.
On a 5-Star scale - 5 HUGE Stars!!!!!

Finding the Road Home is the first book in Tina Radcliffe's "Hearts of Oklahoma" series and it is small-town reading at its finest! The story is set in rural Rebel, Oklahoma where the town is small enough that everyone knows you and your business.
Imagine a young woman becomes an instant mother to her five nieces and nephews when they lose their parents. Then she moves them to a new town where she buys a fixer-upper house and takes on the job as a deputy in Rural. With that said, what I took away from this book was love, hope, and dreams being fulfilled.
I love stories that take place in small-town America where your neighbors love you and help you through the hard times. You will find a lot of that in this book. Friends helping friends, neighbors helping neighbors. This is a great feel-good story.
Finding the Road Home is a March release for Love Inspired books and I would highly recommend picking up a copy. Ms. Radcliffe is great at creating believable characters with all their quirks and nuances. I guarantee you will fall in love with several, if not all of the people in Rural.

Every time I pick up a book with Ruth Logan Herne's name on it, I know it is a book I will fall in love with and never want to put down. Her newest Love Inspired book, A Hopeful Harvest, did not disappoint. This book was released in January but you can still buy it online and I would highly recommend it.
The story is about two people living with deep wounds from the past. Wounds, that at first, appear as if healing them would be insurmountable. However, Ms. Herne has a talent for taking the insurmountable and making it happen. I felt so many different forms of emotion while reading this book. I cried, I laughed, and I cried some more. When a book can draw out those kinds of emotions from me I know it is an excellent book.
While Libby and Jax are the main characters and I loved them both, I fell in love with little Cee Cee and Libby's grandpa, Cleve. Their storylines touched my life on such deep levels.
Cleve is battling Alzheimer's Disease while Cee Cee is just being a cute little girl trying to help her single mom, Libby in their apple orchard. Jax, well, he is battling PTSD. Add all these things together and you have one wonderful heartfelt book.
One thing that really touched me personally occurred on page 165 when little Cee Cee is talking about she helped two classmates, Henry and Dottie. My husband's first name is Henry and my precious mother's name was Dottie. I couldn't help but smile.
I know I have mentioned this already, but I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good 'feel-good' book.
