His Holiday Prayer by Tina Radcliffe

I love reading a good love story and Tina Radcliffe's newest book His Holiday Prayer was even better than expected. This book is the third offering in her "Hearts of Oklahoma" series and in my opinion, it is her best. The series follows the lives of the Rainboldt siblings in the town of Rebel, Oklahoma.

His Holiday Prayer is Tucker Rainbolt's story. He is a widower raising twin daughters and owns Rebel Vet and Rescue along with his partner Jenna Harper. He has decided he needs a change of scenery for himself and his daughters so he accepts a job in Texas.

Jenna tends to lien to being the shy quiet type and has always let Tucker be the voice of their business but once she learns Tucker is leaving she decides she needs to start taking over the business now before he leaves. As she starts stepping out, she blossoms, and people start taking notice. Even Tucker.

I loved seeing Tucker's and Jenna's feeling move from friendship into something beautiful.

Since it is a series, the reader is reacquainted with Tucker's brothers Mitch and Reece along with their families. Also, the fourth book in this series will be the brothers' sister Kate's story. I can hardly wait. Now, even though it is a series, this book can be read as a standalone book. I highly recommend reading Tucker and Jenna's story...especially if you love animals and Christmas.

On a 5-Star scale - 5 Huge Stars!!!!!

Airborne by DiAnn Mills

 

Wow! I am an avid fan of DiAnn Mills and when I had the opportunity to read and review her newest novel, Airborne, I found I was reading a novel that could have been taken out of today's headlines. As we all know, the world is battling COVID-19 and in Airborne the characters are battling a mysterious virus outbreak known only as H9N15. The outbreak occurs onboard a plane en route to Germany. 

The main character in this book is Heather Lawrence, an FBI agent, who just happens to be on the plane where the outbreak occurs. Hours into the flight people began to get sick and unfortunately some die. The plane is ordered to change course to JFK airport in New York.

Heather's estranged husband, Dr. Chad Lawrence, happens to be waiting to start a new position in the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases which is a part of the influenza division at the CDC in Atlanta. Unfortunately, rumors begin that maybe he had the virus released on his wife's flight because she wouldn't sign the divorce papers. I must admit I was kept guessing all through the book and was surprised with who actually did the dirty deed.

I could tell you more about the storyline but I don't like releasing spoilers. So I will just say that the storyline keeps the reader turning pages at a rapid pace with a lot of surprises.

Ms. Mills has a phenomenal way of creating very believable characters that pull the reader into their world from the very start. That is something I always look for in a book because if the character doesn't pull me right at the start, I usually won't continue reading the book.

I loved the thread of faith in this book. One person renewed their faith while another found faith. 

I would highly recommend this book to mature teens and adults who enjoy a good suspense novel.
