Paper Dolls
Have you had the chance to read my novel, Paper Dolls, yet? If you love Christian novels with unpredictable twists and strong threads of faith, then please check it out.
Here is a review:
I'm big on women's fiction and really enjoyed Kara R Hunt's debut "Paper Dolls".
The story takes place in Habakkuk, small town USA, and flips between Mary, Eve, Priscilla, Kite and Lydia's point of views. Each journey was bittersweet, with challenges and tough decisions along with happier moments, and with 5 different POVs, there's a large cast, so stick with it in case you feel a little overwhelmed at the beginning trying to keep track of people etc.
I loved how these women were dealing with real life problems and struggled like we sometimes do in life, but how many clung to God in their time of need... like we should do in life. 😊 Some revelations were gritty, which added to the realism and heightened the tension. The dialogue between characters flowed naturally, and I got to a point where I couldn't put the book down.
A fabulous, gritty and unique Christian Fiction debut! Bravo!
- Kindle Reviewer
Book Overview:
Paper can be torn and dolls can break.
So can humans.
Kite Tanner, a widow, struggles with the sudden loss of her husband.
Priscilla Martin, the minister’s daughter, pursues money and men with passion.
Lydia Dooley, a prayer-warrior, battles a brain tumor and a daughter who can’t forget the sins of her mother’s past.
Eve Stanton, a talented Christian singer and songwriter, is brought to her knees when the truth about her marriage is revealed.
Mary Rabin, kidnapped from her front yard at the age of eight, returns forty years later to reunite with the family and friends she’d fought for decades to find her way back to.
The bonds of family and friendship are tested.
Will the women’s faith in God and each other stand the test of time? Or will it crumple like paper?

Rescuing You
If you haven't read this amazing novel by USA Today Bestselling Author, Robin Patchen, then you might want to pick up a copy today. Ebook is only 2.99 on Amazon and it's free on Kindle Unlimited!
Book Description:
A heart-pounding tale of danger and devotion, the riveting second installment of the Wright Heroes of Maine series by a USA Today bestselling author.
CIA agent Michael Wright's world crumbles when his girlfriend, Leila, is snatched off the street and later seen in the grasp of a terrorist he’s been tracking, Michael blames himself. Keeping his identity secret from her clearly didn’t protect her. Now he must defy the Agency and fly to Iraq to rescue her.
Leila Amato escaped Iraq a decade earlier, only returning in her worst nightmares. But those nightmares have come true when she finds herself captive and all alone, or so she thought until she sees her identical twin sister.
Michael tracks Leila to a desert compound, but his rescue mission goes awry when he discovers her sister needs to escape as well. His detailed strategy can only ensure one woman’s safety. Now they’re on the run, trying to get out of the country before their enemies track them down.
But Leila’s kidnapping is only one small part of a larger plot—one that endangers thousands of lives—and now he doesn’t know who he can trust. Not even the woman who’s stolen his heart. A woman who’s been keeping secrets of her own…
A high-stakes international chase full of romantic suspense, spies, and a ticking time bomb that will keep you reading all night long.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone!
Hoping the first week of 2024 has been a blessing to you all.
If you're looking for a great book to start off your 2024 reading list with, then I highly recommended, When The Waters Came by Candice Sue Patterson.
Here is the blurb:
An act of greed or an act of God?
Pastor Montgomery Childs has tended his flock in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, for two years. While his pews are full every Sunday, he most desires to see a reckoning between God and the kings of industry who recreate on Lake Conemaugh. The pleasure grounds, flowing alcohol, and business dealings of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club taunts Monty as he works to heal the wounds inflicted from his own privileged childhood among Pittsburgh society. Like Noah, Monty prays against the evil surrounding him, but he never expects God to send a flood.
It takes five days for the Red Cross to respond to the Johnstown flood disaster, but when it does, Annamae Worthington is ready to help. Apprenticing under Clara Barton has prepared her for the job, but nothing can prepare her for the death and destruction that awaits. As if the survivors haven’t suffered enough, typhoid fever ravages the town, resurfacing suppressed emotions regarding her father’s death.
Candice Sue Patterson
Narrowly surviving the flood and the horrifying things he’s witnessed, Monty’s faith is floundering. Then a Red Cross nurse puts him to work helping with the typhoid fever victims arriving at the hospital tents every hour. Monty and Annamae work together distributing disinfectants and supplies, housing orphans, and serving those left behind. Slowly, his faith resurfaces. A kinship forms between them neither can ignore. But when an investigation into the collapsed dam points to the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, secrets emerge that may tear them apart.
