Uncommon Justice Series-Book 3-"Don't Keep Silent" by Elizabeth Goddard
Hello, Readers of Suspense,
Elizabeth Goddard, the author of the Uncommon Justice Series, is launching Book 3- "Don't Keep Silent" and it is available for pre-order on Amazon. Publishing June 30th.
Investigative reporter Rae Burke will do anything to find her missing sister-in-law, even if it means facing Liam McKade, a man who almost lost his life saving hers. A former DEA agent, Liam thought he could find peace at his Wyoming ranch, but he just doesn't feel at home anywhere anymore. When the reporter who blew his cover on an important investigation inserts herself back into his life, he's less than thrilled. But Rae's keen investigative skills have led her down the right path--and directly into the dragon's mouth--leaving Liam no choice but to protect her. As the danger increases, the past they both tried to flee catches up to them, along with the feelings they once had for each other.
Bestselling and award-winning author Elizabeth Goddard plunges you into a fast-paced, high-stakes story of honor, forgiveness, and justice.

If you haven't had the pleasure of reading any of the other books in the series, don't worry you won't be left behind. It can be read as a standalone, but I have to warn you, you will be hooked.
You can get Book 2- "Always Look Twice" on Amazon for an unbelievable 69c for a limited time!
At the advice of her therapist, homicide survivor Harper Reynolds has traded her job as a crime scene photographer for a more peaceful life taking photographs of the natural world. But her hopes for a life surrounded by the serenity of the outdoors are dashed when she inadvertently captures a murder being committed in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. She flees the scene in fear--and loses the camera.
Former Green Beret Heath McKade is a reserve deputy in an understaffed county who has been called in to protect Harper, a childhood friend he is surprised to see back in the area. When Harper learns that the sheriff's department can't find any evidence of the murder she witnessed, she is determined to do what she can to see that justice is done. What neither Harper nor Heath could know is how many explosive secrets from the past will be exposed--or how deeply they will fall for each other.
In this suspenseful page-turner, bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard keeps you on the edge of your seat as you discover that uncommon justice lies just on the other side of fear.

My Review on Always Look Twice
Always Look Twice is heart-racing suspense laced with intrigue from beginning to end. I was literally on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next.
Harper, a crime scene photographer, is an amazingly strong female character with loads of stamina and determination. She finds herself in the middle of a murder case while trying to have a relaxing vacation with her sister. While photographing wildlife she accidentally catches a murder in progress and then becomes a target.
The characters in the story find themselves in one twist after another. The story keeps you guessing and it is hard to put down.
The author weaves an amazing tale that delivers surprise after surprise.
Since I already know once you read one you won't be able to resist, here is the information on Book 1 "Never Let Go."
As a forensic genealogist, Willow Anderson is following in her late grandfather's footsteps in her quest for answers about a baby abducted from the hospital more than twenty years ago. The case may be cold, but things are about to heat up when someone makes an attempt on her life to keep her from discovering the truth.
Ex-FBI agent--and Willow's ex-flame--Austin McKade readily offers his help to protect the woman he never should have let getaway. Together they'll follow where the clues lead them, even if it means Austin must face the past he's spent much of his life trying to forget. And even if it puts Willow's tender heart at risk.
In this fast-paced and emotional page-turner, bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard keeps the stakes high, the romantic tension sparking, and the outcome uncertain until the very end.

The Lady & The Mountainman by Misty M. Beller
Description
Leah Townsend, a recently orphaned heiress, flees Richmond after uncovering her fiancé’s plot to kill her after their wedding. Through God’s leading, she finds herself accepting a newspaper marriage proposal from a God-fearing young rancher in the Montana Territory. But when Leah arrives at the mountain ranch, she learns her intended husband was killed by a grizzly, leaving behind a bitter older brother and a spunky younger sister.
Gideon Bryant has lost too many people to the wild elements of these mountains—his parents, his wife, and now his brother. His love for this untamed country will never die, but he’s determined not to open his heart to another person, especially this beautiful Easterner who shows up on their doorstep.
But when an accident forces Leah to stay at the ranch for several months, can Gideon guard himself from a love he doesn’t want? Will Leah find God’s true direction for her life?
MY REVIEW
Leah, set to marry due to an arranged marriage before her father died, overhears her future husband talking about how he poisoned his first wife and how he will kill Leah in order to get her inheritance. Scared and seeing no other way out, she decides to run away where he can't find her.
Traveling to a faraway city she decides to answer an ad for a mail-order bride in Montana. Things don't quite work out as she planned. All the money she has is stolen and she is left penniless until a stranger offers to take her to her new husband to be's ranch only to find out he has been killed.
Leah endures many hardships. She learns to lean on God to discover what he has in store for her life, and Gideon feels that God has deserted him. He is trying to deal with some ghosts from his past.
The story is a very inspirational one with lots of suspenseful and heart-wrenching moments. I loved Leah's determination, courage to endure whatever came her way and putting others first. A sweet adventure with hints of a blossoming love along the way.
Another wonderful read from Misty Beller with an ending that was sweet and satisfying. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

About the Author
Like the characters in her stories, Emma Easter juggles a range of identities.
In the low-income community where she works, Easter is known as a family medicine physician who treats patients of all ages and backgrounds, including those who've been historically under-served by the healthcare system. But it's less known that she's also experienced life on the opposite end of the stethoscope as a cancer patient, now in remission.
College friends see her as an accomplished musician, having studied and mastered five classical instruments--but behind closed doors, she's just as comfortable rocking an air guitar to Creed. And when she isn't giving her heart, soul, and sanity to her three young children she's indulging in her most secret identity of all: meeting new characters, crafting fresh plots, and exploring every corner of her imagination.
Across all these different roles, one cohesive thread has tied everything together: her faith and love of Jesus Christ.
The Sisters of Rosefield is Easter's first series, soon to be followed by a second, The Destiny Series. Both center around themes close to Easter's heart: The importance of family, the redemption of true love, and the power of faith through harrowing adversity.
Emma Easter loves hearing from her readers. You can reach her at EmmaEaster.com.

A Lawman for Lissette by Teresa Slack
Description
When Lisette Pelletier answers an ad to become a physician in the frontier town of Willow Wood, Idaho, she knows her life will change forever. What she doesn’t expect is to fall in love with the U.S. Marshal whose life she saves on her way to town.
Federal Marshal Grayson Dutton spent his career protecting pioneers, chasing down bandits, settling disputes before they erupted into gunfire, and returning fire when needed. None of it prepared him for dealing with a feisty lady doc who can’t see when she’s in over her head.
When Grayson hears the gang of outlaws that attacked the stagecoach that brought Lisette to Willow Wood have targeted the lady doc, he’ll stop at nothing to protect her. Lisette doesn’t want to give the lawman the reins to her life. She came west to serve the people of Willow Wood, not hide under her bed in fear at the first sign of danger.
She certainly didn’t plan to fall for a long-legged lawman whose kisses make her dream of marriage, babies, and happily-ever-after, all the things that conflict with her call to medicine. Can she find a place in her life and her heart for love? Can Grayson tame the wild filly before she gets both of them killed?
The Author Teresa Slack
Teresa Slack enjoys reading, writing, and sticking her nose into other people's business. Naturally, writing fiction was the perfect career choice for her. Her first novel, Streams of Mercy, won the Bay Area Independent Publishers’ Association award for Best First Novel. Evidence of Grace, the third in her Jenna’s Creek Series, debuted at #18 nationwide according to Christian Retailing Magazine. Her down-to-earth characters and realistic dialog have endeared her to readers and reviewers alike. Teresa and her husband share their southern Ohio home with two rescue dogs where she is crazy busy at work on her next novel.

My Review
Set in the 1890s Idaho, the storyline is about a young woman who answers a plea for a town doctor. She knows it won't be easy to be accepted being a woman, but she is confident she can win the town residents over. But, she doesn't count on the complication of meeting Grayson, the handsome retired marshall that just returned home.
The story has wonderful characters. Lisette is spunky, independent, and determined which drew me to her right away. Grayson's strength and willingness to help his father on the ranch and then want to protect Lisette was heartwarming.
There is a lot of suspense, intense action, and then tender moments to warm your heart.
A Lawman for Lisette is very well written in a style that's easy to read and the ending wrapped everything up nicely. I highly recommend reading it.

More from Lisa
I have a confession to make. I’m a square dancer, a real live square dancer who do-si-dos and allemande-lefts my way around a square every Thursday night. And lest you think it’s a room full of eighty-year-olds, our youngest dancer is a mere twenty-four.
It was on the dance floor I first met Larry. Logger Larry, the Paul Bunyan like soul who regaled me with tales of chopping trees in the Rocky Mountains. He told stories about grizzlies who hunted men for their next meal, brawls in the bunkhouse only the hardy could survive, and life-threatening axe injuries when they had to carry the wounded through the forest for miles.
Larry’s stories provided a great background for a romantic novel and sent me on a mission to research late 1800’s logging camps. It’s at Pollitt’s Lumber, in 1898, where we meet our hero and heroine, Preach and Isabelle, and join their cautious journey toward love. It’s also where we meet a ragtag bunch of lumberjacks whose antics would get on anyone’s last nerve.
I fell in love with the characters of Rocky Mountain Redemption as they tromped onto the pages, and I’m thrilled to introduce them to you in Book One of the Rocky Mountain Revival Series.
Dear reader, enjoy!
MY REVIEW
Isabelle is sent by her father to a logging camp as a kitchen helper for her Aunt Lou. Miserable, trying to forget her past, she learns that it eventually catches up with you. Can she find redemption in her strange surroundings?
The book is about forgiveness, second chances, and finding true love. It's a very uplifting story in an easy to read writing style. The descriptions of the camp transported me to into the story and the characters were easy to connect with. Highly recommended.

There are two books available now with a third on pre-order due out on May 1st and I couldn't resist getting them too. I'm so into the characters that I just couldn't wait to see what would happen next. Once you start, I guarantee you will be hooked!
Inn the Spirit of Legends has a wonderful storyline that is suspenseful and has lots of mystery. It's a fast-paced, page-turner that will have you on the edge of your seat one minute and laughing the next. A very well-written ghost story that will keep you guessing.

Becki Willis Bio:
Best-selling author Becki Willis loves crafting stories with believable characters in believable situations—the quirkier, the better! Many of her stories stem from her own travels and personal experiences. (No worries; she's never actually murdered, anyone.)
When she’s not plotting danger and adventure for her imaginary friends, Becki enjoys reading, antiquing (aka junking), unraveling a good mystery (real or imagined), dark chocolate, and a good cup of coffee. A professed history geek, Becki often weaves pieces of the past into her novels. Family is a central theme in her stories and in her life. She and her husband enjoy traveling but believe coming home to their Texas ranch is the best part of any trip.
Becki has won numerous awards, but the real compliments come from her readers. Drop-in for an e-visit anytime at beckiwillis.ccp@gmail.com, or www.beckiwillis.com.
“My books may not change someone's life, but they may change someone's day... and sometimes, that's just as important!”
Book 1
Inn the Spirit of Legends
Book Description:
When the tiny hamlet of Hannah, Texas goes up for auction, Hannah Duncan’s fun-loving uncle sees it as the perfect gift for her thirtieth birthday. After all, what’s more fun than a town bearing your own name?
Nestled in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, the ‘town’ isn’t much — a dozen or less buildings in various stages of disrepair—but it comes with a dedicated pair of caretakers, a menagerie of farm animals, a surprisingly generous trust fund, enough stipulations to make her head spin, and a handsome but maddening attorney to oversee the handling of the estate.
Originally a stagecoach stop, Hannah, Texas resolves around the historic and rather charming Spirits of Texas Inn. The old inn comes with a colorful past, the mystique of hidden treasure, loyal guests who still book summer vacations there, and three surprise residents: true spirits of the past, who didn’t cross over as expected.
Now Hannah has her hands full, coming to terms with her unexpected status as an innkeeper, adjusting to life in the country, fighting her attraction to attorney Walker Jacoby, plus dealing with ghosts!
To top it off, two fortune hunters arrive in search of the hidden treasure, and they don’t care who stands in their way. They’ll stoop to any means—including murder—to get their hands on the legendary stash of gold.
