A Winter by the Sea (On Devonshire Shores, #2) by Julie Klassen

 


Julie Klassen's A Winter By The Sea continue's the story of the Summer family as they settle in to running their boarding house. They now have royal neighbors and actually board some of the royal retainers. This book has royalty, pirates, love, intrigue, and betrayal. Through it all the story demonstrates that God always knows best and has a plan for our lives. I loved this story and the members of the Summer family are quite realistic. I am looking forward to their further adventures in The Seaside Homecoming.

I never hesitate to buy Julie Klassen's books as they are all wonderful.

I was given a copy of A Winter By The Sea. All thoughts are my own.

Final Approach (Lake City Heroes book 4) by Lynette Eason


Wow! I just finished reading Final Approach, book number 4 in Lynette Eason's Lake City Heroes series. It was such a fanatastic read that I am struggling to decide what to read next. I loved the characters, the setting and the plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat! Ms. Eason did a fantastic job of weaving faith into her characters in a way that was natural and not forced. I am very sad to see this series end as I have become quite fond of these characters, perhaps they will make cameos in future books and update us as to what is going on in their lives!


So block out some reading time, get a pitcher of your favorite beverage, and settle in for thrilling conclusion to the Lake City Heroes by Lynette Eason!


I was given a copy of this book with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.

From Amazon:

She's intent on investigating a sinister plot of revenge, and it will take all her courage to survive.

Air Marshal Kristine Duncan is not on duty when a hijacker attempts to seize control of the plane she and her friends are on as they head out on a much-needed vacation. Jumping into action and aided by FBI Special Agent Andrew Ross, Kristine thwarts the attack and the plane lands safely. But as the investigation into the incident gets underway, Kristine and Andrew are confused at every step. Nothing about the investigation goes as it should, and each layer they peel back just reveals another layer of perplexity.

As the two work together to navigate a web of deception, blame, and personal reckoning, they find there's more to this story than meets the eye--and more to love and admire about each other. They'll have to put their skills to the test--and their hearts on the line--to unravel the truth and ensure that justice prevails.
