If The Boot Fits (Texas Ever After) By Karen Witemeyer

I enjoyed If The Boot Fits so much that I used some PTO and left work at noon to go home and read. Karen Witemeyer wrote a very good story loosely based on Cinderella with Asher being the male version of Cinderella and Samantha the princess. The characters were strong and endearing, the plot delightful and the characters faith was strong. I highly recommend If The Boot fits to all who love Happily Ever After Stories.

So grab your favorite beverage and settle in for a fantastic read.

I was given a copy of If The Boot Fits with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon:

One fateful night will change their destinies forever. . . .

Convinced that his stepmother and half brothers have been wrongfully evicted by cattle king Eli Dearing, Asher Ellis uses the cover of an extravagant ball to break into the Three Cedars' ranch house to search for proof. On the verge of discovery, he flees, but a boy's cry compels him to make a daring rescue.

Spunky and independent Samantha Dearing balks when she learns the ball her father is hosting is nothing more than a matrimonial ambush. Taking a break from unwanted suitors, Samantha spots a thief fleeing her home. When the stranger ends up saving her brother's life, she hides the only clue to his identity left behind--his boot--and resolves to find him herself.

When Samantha encounters the older brother of a student she tutors, all thoughts of the bootless mystery man vanish. Asher values family above wealth, a rare trait that opens her heart. Afraid she will discover his past misconduct, Asher tries to keep his distance, but when a series of suspicious accidents befall her, he vows to protect her, even though saving her life could mean losing her love.

Untaken by C.O. Wyler

 I just finished reading Untaken by C.O. Wyler. I found it to be a very interesting book on the rapture. Told from the first person viewpoint Untaken follows a young woman named Sarah as she struggles to comprehend what has happened. At times the narrative is a bit grotesque, but necessary to convey the horror of being left behind. It is a quick, but tough read. Untaken is free on kindle.

I read the free kindle version. All thoughts are my own.

Never Fall Again (Gossamer Falls #1) by Lynn Blackburn

 Everyone in Gossamer Falls has a story. Never Fall Again is Cal and Landry's tale. I loved the way they tried to deny their feelings for each other. The romance was sweet but not over done. I also enjoyed the suspense element. I was impressed with the way Ms. Blackburn created a faith journey that included having her characters pray together. All in all a great book. I am looking forward to reading book 2 in the Gossamer Falls series. I really want to know the other peoples stories!

This book calls for a pitcher of sweet tea and a porch swing!

From Amazon:

Landry Hutton has spent three years rebuilding her life behind the secure gates of The Haven, an exclusive resort on the outskirts of Gossamer Falls, North Carolina. As the artist-in-residence, and with her pottery prized by The Haven's guests, Landry is finally ready to settle in permanently. She wants to give her daughter, Eliza, a safe home to grow up in and hires former Marine Callum Shaw to handle the construction.

Cal grew up in Gossamer Falls and always knew he would someday join his family's business. He longs for a family of his own but has almost given up on that ever happening. Landry is funny, gifted, and everything Cal could ever want in a partner, but he vows to keep his distance. Landry has a daughter and a past. Cal has been down that road before and barely survived when the woman he loved left, taking her two sons with her. He can't bear to lose like that again.

Before construction on the house can begin, Landry's pottery is destroyed in a suspicious fire. It soon becomes clear that Landry and Eliza are in grave danger--but because of whom? But, after losing one relationship, he is hesitant to try again.

One Wrong Move (Jeopardy Falls #1) by Dani Pettrey

 

I always look forward to reading Dani Pettrey's books. She does a fantastic job of creating characters that are realistic and fun to read about. I love the way she weaves together faith, romance and suspense into a story that keeps you turning the pages way after bedtime. Her latest book, One Wrong Move, is a great kick off to her Jeopardy Falls series. The story is fast paced and while complete, it definitely opens the door to further books.

So brew up a pitcher of tea, turn off your phone and enjoy Dani's latest adventure.
