Don't Keep Silent by Elizabeth Goddard

Elizabeth Goddard has once again presented her readers with a nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat, heart-pounding suspense-filled romantic adventure that will take your breath away. In her newest book, Don't Keep Silent, I found myself so engrossed with the story that my pulse was racing as if I was standing in the midst of the story with Rae Burke and Liam McKade, the main characters of this story. This is the third book in Ms. Goddard's "Uncommon Justice" series.

Rae, by trade, is an investigative reporter, currently working freelance. She learns her sister-in-law and best friend Zoey has disappeared. When her brother asks for her to investigate she can't say 'no'. She heads to Wyoming where Zoey's mother lives in the hopes of finding Zoey or clues to her whereabouts. She also hopes to find Liam McKade, a former DEA undercover agent who in her past almost lost his life saving hers. From the moment they encounter each other sparks fly and so do the emotions.

Filled with mystery, suspense, intrigue and romance, Ms.Goddard has woven this story together in balanced harmony. I also like the way she brings God into the story in a non-overpowering way. 

If you like fast-paced, heart-pounding romantic suspense, this is the perfect book for you. I would highly recommend it.

On a 5-Star scale - Most definitely a 5!!!!!

The Traitor's Pawn by Lisa Harris

I am such a big fan of books with the name Lisa Harris on the front. Her newest book The Traitor's Pawn grabbed me from the very first line which read, "WATCH YOUR BACK...this isn't over". Ms. Harris has a way of drawing her readers into the story quickly and holds them there until the very last sentence.

The Traitor's Pawn is not just another FBI suspense novel. It's a book that measures the strengths of both main characters. FBI agent Jack Shannon and Detective Aubrey Grayson had been best friends during their youth but they haven't seen each other in years. They are brought back together when a Senator is shot and Aubrey is kidnapped...all within the first chapter. Talk about fast-paced. This book will pull you in, set your heart to pounding and will deliver you to a satisfying conclusion.

Ms. Harris is very good at creating believable characters and you will either love them or hate them. As they pull you into their story, you will fill like you are right there with them on their journey to win against the bad guys.

If you love suspense novels you will love this one. It is packed with twists and turns and you won't want to put it down. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves fast-paced suspense with a little romance thrown it.

On a 5-star scale - 5 Stars!!!!!

The Land Beneath Us by Sarah Sundin

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.

Finding the Road Home by Tina Radcliffe

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.

A Hopeful Heart by Ruth Logan Herne

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.

Always Look Twice by Elizabeth Goddard

Elizabeth Goddard is a champion in the suspense genre. Her newest release is Always Look Twice, the second book in her "Uncommon Justice" series and I loved it from beginning to end. 

The story takes place in the wilderness of Wyoming, near Jackson Hole. The characters drew me into their story from page one and held me engaged until the very end.

The female lead is Harper Reynolds, a crime scene photographer who has left her job, to get away from all the atrocities she has witnessed. Unfortunately, while photographing a grizzly bear near the Grayback River she not only witnesses a murder but captures it on film. As she flees away from what she has seen, she falls and loses her camera. Without her camera she cannot produce the pictures of the murder and when the sheriff's department searches the area the body can't be found. 

The male lead is a former Green Beret, Heath McKade who is now a reserve deputy and a childhood friend to Harper. As the story unfolds the sheriff has Heath act as a protector to Harper which proves challenging. 

Ms. Goddard has created a fast-paced, suspenseful story that will grab the reader from the beginning and send them on a roller coaster ride until the very end.

I would highly recommend Always Look Twice to anyone who loves a good clean suspenseful novel.
