Cute Novella Just in Time for Christmas! 'America's Favorite Christmastown - by Dawn Klinge

 

About the book:

YouTube vlogger Alexis Jacobson knows how to create the perfect aspirational Christmas for her viewers. She has made promotional videos for resorts and far-flung travel destinations for several successful years. Still, the fantasy she creates isn't real, nor is her relationship with her co-star and business partner. When keeping up the illusion gets to be too much, Alexis finds herself out of a job with no place of her own to call home. That's when Alexis's Oma asks for help getting some new vacation rentals in Icicle Creek up and running. Alexis agrees to return to the place she used to call home to stop Oma's plans. Someone Oma's age should be taking it easy, right? So when Alexis discovers Justin Karon is the real estate agent behind the proposed deal, she questions his motives. Appearances can be deceiving-as she would know. Justin seems like a great guy, and yes, Alexis had a crush on him back in high school, but a lot has changed since then. Despite her misgivings, sparks start to fly between these two. But are these feelings real? And will going home help Alexis re-discover the true spirit of Christmas?

My review:

This was  cute story about a young woman who wants a fresh start after her business partner leaves her high and dry.  I liked the plot about going back to your small town and helping your grandmother but we didn't get told any details.  The same thing happened with her helping create a video for the contest they entered.  A lot of cute moments could have been explored as they created it but we're just told they're going to and then it jumps to the end of the story.  I liked Alexis and how she was so protective of her grandmother and jumped in to help her.  Justin seemed like a great guy for helping her grandmother so much, among other things.  There's a brief mention of God's blessings but otherwise I would classify it more as  a clean read.  There's some romance.  Overall, if you're looking for a clean Christmas read you might want to check it out!

Don't Miss This Conclusion! 'Sundown' - Sky King Ranch 3 - by Susan May Warren

 

About the book:

He doesn't trust her . . . but he can't let her go it alone

Former Delta Operative Colt Kingston knows when someone is lying. He may not know the truth, but he sure doesn't trust Tae, the mysterious woman his family rescued from an Alaskan blizzard. Behind those beautiful blue eyes, Colt can tell there is a troubled--and smart--woman.

A few of her stories prove true--they found the crashed plane and the dead body inside. Still, her tale of survival seems too incredible to believe . . . until the thugs she claims to be hunting her across Alaska show up and threaten Sky King Ranch. Now Tae must disappear, along with her secrets.

Colt will have to track her down and earn her trust before it's too late. It'll take the entire family to save the world from disaster.

The epic conclusion to Susan May Warren's Sky King Ranch trilogy.

My review:

What an amazing conclusion to the Sky King Ranch trilogy!  I loved that we're continuing the story of finding Tae and what's really going on with her.  There's such wonderful action and unexpected twists, along with swoony romance and a great faith message to top it off!  Susan May Warren is one of my favorite authors because she just writes the characters so well they feel like they'll jump off the page and save the day!  She balances all of the elements so wonderfully and all of her books are this way.  This one works as a stand-alone but you don't want to miss the other two hero stories about Colt's brothers, not to mention the amazing, strong women in their lives.  I highly recommend them!

Wonderful Suspense Collection! 'Targeted' - by Lynette Eason, Lynn H. Blackburn & Natalie Walters

 

About the book:

Three women. Three men. Three unsuspecting targets.

Get ready for triple the thrills with three heart-stopping stories from your favorite romantic suspense authors!

In On the Run, IT Specialist Daria Nevsky is a highly skilled FBI agent with the ability to hack any computer. She must go on the run to find out who wants her dead--and Dr. Ryker Donahue refuses to let her do it alone.

In Deadly Objective, physical therapist Emily Dixon and Secret Service Agent Liam Harper are committed to keeping their relationship professional. But when the vice president's son enters the crosshairs of a killer, some lines will have to be crossed in order to keep him safe.

In Caught in the Crosshairs, there is no love lost between former Army PSYOPS officer Ari Blackman and CIA officer Claudia Gallegos after Claudia is implicated in the murder of a Saudi prince. But to prevent a coup that would put America at risk, they'll have to learn to trust each other--before it's too late.

My review:

This was such a wonderful collection from three fabulous romantic suspense authors!  I've read many of their books and it was such fun to see characters pop in from other stories.  I was especially excited about Daria Nevsky being a main character in Lynette Eason's story as I've adored her since she was introduced a while ago in a prior series as a teenager!  The stories work well as stand-alones, also, if you haven't read prior series but it's just more fun!  The suspense was great and I liked that the situations were so diverse.  They had just the right amount of romance and also strong faith as multiple characters prayed and discussed their faith in a good God even when bad things happened.  I highly recommend this collection!
