Welcome to the Blog + Review Blitz for The Last Cottage on Pinewood Lane by Melissa McClone, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

 🏠💝⛸️🎄🏠💝⛸️🎄🏠💝⛸️

  ABOUT THE BOOK

The Last Cottage on Pinewood Lane Title:   The Last Cottage on Pinewood Lane  Series:   Hope Crossing #2 Author:   Melissa McClone Publisher:   Independently Published Release Date:   December 14, 2022Genre:   Sweet/Clean Contemporary Romance (Christmas/Holiday)

She’s his Christmas miracle. Now all he has to do is convince her of that…

Figure skater Tasha Ramson used to love the holidays. But with her career on the skids, she needs a break from the festive season—and Berry Lake is the perfect place to take it. Organizing a Christmas fundraiser was not on her agenda. Neither was falling for the small town’s handsome lawyer. But…she did… 
Elias Carpenter needs a break, too. Between the demands of his family firm and managing the ice show fundraiser, he’s at the end of his rope. Tasha showing up is the best thing that could’ve happened for him professionally and personally. Now, if only he could convince her to move him out of the friendzone… 
When a pesky ghost from Tasha’s past arrives to wreck her present, will she hang onto Elias when it matters most? Or will she let her happily ever after skate away forever?

 🏠💝⛸️🎄🏠💝⛸️🎄🏠💝⛸️🎄


EXCERPT:

“Dog. Higgins. Stop.”

Pulse pounding, Elias raced out the door. His feet sank into the snow covering his front yard.

Higgins ran toward the end of Pinewood Lane. The blue leash dragged behind him like a malfunctioning kite tail.

The dog wouldn’t get far. Elias’s legs and strides would overtake the dog’s shorter legs soon.

His breath huffed. At least no cars. “Higgins!”

The dog didn’t slow but sped up.

So much for Higgins being smart and chill. The dog needed obedience lessons.

Or a new foster.

Elias picked up the pace, ignoring the stitch in his side and the burn in his thighs. He’d been away from the gym for too long if a brief run wore him out.

Higgins ran past the last cottage. He veered between the tall pine trees onto the path that led to the lake. For a dog who’d only arrived, he seemed to know where he wanted to go.

Please don’t go on the ice.

The lake remained frozen most of the winter, but Elias didn’t want Higgins out on the ice. It was solid enough near the edges for people to skate, but farther out wasn’t as thick.

“Higgins.” His voice hung on the wind.

Elias cleared the trees to a snow-covered area known as Pinewood Beach in the summer. Higgins sat facing the lake at the edge, where a short ridge of snow had built up. He walked slowly so as not to spook the dog.

Movement caught Elias’s attention. He glanced past Higgins to the lake and squinted.

Someone was on the ice.

He did a double take.

A figure skater, wearing black—except for her skates and a multicolor beanie—glided across the ice. Her graceful movements with outstretched arms and fast spins reminded him of the ice show his grandmother dragged him to when he was twelve. He’d gotten snacks, which made the two hours pass quicker, but he would have rather watched the Mariners or Seahawks. That was well before the Volcanoes, an expansion hockey team, arrived in Seattle.

No music played, yet she skated as if performing for a packed arena. She…captivated Elias.

The skater must have tucked her hair inside the beanie, and he wanted to know what color her hair was. Eyes, too, but he stood too far away.

And then he remembered…

Higgins!

The dog sat facing the skater.

Elias took a slow, careful step and then another. The dog didn’t flinch.

Only another two feet to go. Snow crunched under his left foot. He inhaled sharply.

Higgins bolted across the ice directly in the path of…

“Stop!” Elias yelled.

Neither the dog nor skater listened. The leash slid across the ice right in front of the skater, who skated with her chin up.

“Be careful!”

The scene played out in slow motion. Higgins froze. Her right skate hit the leash, and she stumbled. The skater tried to keep her balance by sticking her arms out, but her action didn’t stop gravity. She hit the ice with a thud.

Higgins jumped on top of her and licked her face.

The skater laughed. She reached into her jacket pocket. “Well, this is a first. Where did you come from, cutie?”

A Christmas Bargain JustRead Blog + Review Blitz 

Welcome to the Blog + Review Blitz for A Christmas Bargain by Mindy Obenhaus, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

🌲💝🌲💝🌲💝🌲💝🌲💝🌲  ABOUT THE BOOK  A Christmas Bargain Title:   A Christmas Bargain  Series:   Hope Crossing #2 Author:   Mindy Obenhaus Publisher:   Love Inspired Release Date:   November 29, 2022 Genre: Christian, Contemporary Romance, Christmas  Can a property dispute… 
Turn into a holiday blessing? 
When single mom Annalise Grant inherits a fledgling Christmas tree farm in Texas, she vows to do whatever it takes to make it a success. But when neighbor Hawkins Prescott claims some of her trees are on his property, the only option is a partnership. As Christmas draws closer, Annalise and Hawkins find themselves growing closer as well. Could a family by Christmas become part of the deal? 
A HOPE CROSSING ROMANCE 
From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope. 🌲💝🌲💝🌲💝🌲💝🌲💝🌲 EXCERPT:

Why had she thought she could do this?

For once in your life, use a little common sense, Annalise, her mother’s voice echoed in her mind. This is foolishness. What do you know about running a business, let alone a Christmas tree farm?

Coming here had been a mistake. After all, reading about something wasn’t the same as doing it. She’d obviously underestimated the amount of work involved.

Tears pricked her eyes before spilling onto her cheeks.

“There you are.” Hawkins’ raised voice startled her.

She quickly swiped at her tears as he stepped in front of her.

“I wondered where you—” His gaze bore into her, his expression softening. “What’s wrong?”

“I can’t do this.”

He cupped her elbows in his palms, his warmth seeping into her. Confusion marred his handsome face. “Do what?”

“I’m not capable of running a Christmas tree farm.”

“What?” He took a step back. “Why would you think that?”

“Oh, come on.” She shivered. “I didn’t even look to see if there was gas in the mower.”

Hands now on his hips, he shook his head. “Have you forgotten about our collaboration? Our agreement?”

“It doesn’t matter.” They hadn’t signed a formal agreement yet, anyway. “Even my two-thirds of the trees are still too much.”

He dipped his head, urging her to look at him. “You do realize we’re playing catch-up right now? But we will catch up. Once we do that, the maintenance won’t be nearly as overwhelming.”

“There were six of us working today, and we barely made a dent.” To her chagrin, tears fell again, and she turned away.

After a moment, he moved in front of her. “Between Gary’s journals and preparation and your ideas to make this a real destination for families, I have no doubt that you can do this, Annalise. You’ve got my entire family excited about this endeavor. Including me.”

His words washed over her like a healing balm, soothing her disbelieving heart. No one had ever spoken such encouraging words to her before.

MY REVIEW:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 

A powerful story about healing, forgiveness, and finding true love when it's least expected . . .

This second installment of Author Mindy Obenhaus's 'Hope Crossing' series is a strong follow-up to book one, 'A Cowgirl's Redemption.' This story involves the brother of the lead female from book one, Gloriana Prescott.

Hawkins Prescott is a highly-intelligent, thoughtful, and caring man who is struggling to recover from a hurtful, disastrous relationship with a woman he barely knew. When a lovely widow with a delightful baby girl moves to the property next to Prescott Farms, Hawkins is beside himself—for a couple of reasons which the author reveals in her own good time.

Annalise Grant is recovering from the unexpected death of her husband, Dylan, a year earlier. She and her sixteen-month-old daughter, Olivia, are moving to Hope Crossing, Texas, to live in the home her late husband's uncle left to her upon his own death a few months ago.

Annalise has big plans for the Christmas tree farm which is growing on the side of the property that adjoins with Prescott Farms. A land encroachment dispute causes sparks to fly when Hawkins confronts Annalise about the problem. However, she is a quick-thinker and suggests a solution that will mutually benefit both families.

There are many interesting facets of this plot including the development of the Christmas tree farm. I enjoy reading about how small business people take an idea from the dream stage to the planning stage to the launch of the business. I think readers will enjoy seeing Annalise's dream come to fruition.

I have read several of this author's books, and I find her to be a master storyteller. Not only does she include the big things in life in her books, she writes about the small things in life that lead couples to fall in love, causes families to draw together in tough times, and shows positive parenting techniques through how her characters relate to and treat their little ones.

The faith thread runs throughout the story and is presented in a positive manner. The main characters in this story grow and progress in their faith. This book is completely clean in language and content.

I received a copy of the book from the author as a member of her launch team. All of my opinions and thoughts shared here are solely my own.

MY REVIEW:

Action, drama, and danger combine to make these novellas a great read . . .

This romantic suspense novella collection features new stories by three of my favorite authors in this genre. I have been fortunate to read the novels which originally introduced many of the characters in this collection.

As I have come to expect from these exceptional authors, their novellas are fast-paced, heart-pounding thrill rides that held my interest from the first word to the last. The stories are filled with tension, danger, and intrigue just the way readers who are fans of this genre like to experience.

Writing a novella is quite different than writing a full-length novel because so much information—setting, character development, plot arc, and resolution of the mystery—must be conveyed in fewer words. These three gifted writers have accomplished the mission of presenting readers with a collection of unique, challenging stories that will leave readers wanting more!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through their Revell Reads Blogger Program. All of my thoughts and opinions shared here are solely my own.

~ CHRISTMAS AT WHISPERING CREEK ~

 ~ WEDNESDAY BOOK FEATURE ~ --  'CHRISTMAS AT WHISPERING CREEK'  -- AUTHOR BARBARA M. BRITTON

Christmas at Whispering Creek JustRead Blog Tour 

 

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Christmas at Whispering Creek by Barbara M. Britton, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

 

ABOUT THE BOOK  Christmas at Whispering Creek Title:   Christmas at Whispering Creek  Author:   Barbara M. Britton Publisher:   Pelican Book Group-White Rose Release Date:   November 30, 2022 Genre:   Christian Contemporary Romance 
All Samantha Williams wants is to use her teaching degree to instruct a classroom of second graders. With a breast cancer diagnosis at the age of twenty-three, and failed reconstruction surgery, Sam finds herself without a job and temporarily living with her parents. This isn’t the life Sam expected. When a family friend dies and leaves Sam a house and land in Whispering Creek, Tennessee, Sam must decide if leaving Wisconsin for Southern living is in her lesson plans. 
Nashville native, Cole Donoven, left his family’s electrical business to write country music. When Cole’s song writing partner and girlfriend dumps him for a country music star, Cole abandons Nashville to hold up in Whispering Creek and compose one more song. The last thing Cole expects to find in the sleepy small town is a deceased friend, estate squabbles, and a Northern beauty. Will the chaos in Whispering Creek help create a bestselling song for Cole and possibly help him find a life-long collaborator?

EXCERPT:

Samantha wiped a tear from her eye and set her coffee cup on the side table. “Wow. I’m in shock. I mean…I never expected Ted to leave me his house.” She needed money to pay medical bills, not property requiring upkeep. Although knowing Ted, his house would be pristine. His late wife, Nan, always kept a tidy home. “I’m not ungrateful.” I sure sound like it. “It’s, um, I don’t have a lot of income right now. I work part-time in a floral shop.” Instead of teaching a classroom of second graders. Thank you, cancer. She laced her fingers and tried to keep the shaking to a minimum. Would this inheritance add to her debt?

Chester held up a well-manicured hand and grinned. “I imagine the last thing you expected was to be a homeowner in Tennessee.”

“The idea wasn’t even on her one-in-a-million chance list.

~ SECRET GARDEN DEVOTIONAL BOOK FEATURE ~

~ BIBLE DEVOTIONAL FEATURE ~ --  'THE SECRET GARDEN DEVOTIONAL'  -- AUTHOR RACHEL DODGE 

The Secret Garden Devotional JustRead Blog Tour 

Welcome to the Blog Tour for The Secret Garden Devotional by Rachel Dodge, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

 

ABOUT THE BOOK  The Secret Garden Devotional Title:   The Secret Garden Devotional  Author:   Rachel Dodge Publisher:   Barbour Release Date:   December 6, 2022 Genre:   Devotional

Devotional Inspiration from Mary Lennox's Beautifully Mysterious Secret Garden

The Secret Garden Devotional offers lovely inspiration that explores the themes of faith, family, contentment, wisdom, and joy in the classic Frances Hodgson Burnett novel, cherished by generations of readers. 
Each reading corresponds with a chapter from the book and invites you to embrace God’s guiding hand in your life as you are becoming His new creation. With themes of growth, spiritual nourishment, God's love and care, and His transforming power, this beautiful chapter-by-chapter devotional includes original artwork throughout. Each reading includes examples from the novel, scripture, life application, and prayers perfect for groups, book clubs, or personal reflection.  EXCERPT:

In a profusion of aching sweetness, The Secret Garden bursts with themes and motifs that can teach us deep spiritual truths when we look at them through the lens of faith. Mary’s fictional story provides rare insights into God’s faithfulness in every season. There is an ebb and flow in the different stages of life and a season for everything under the sun (Ecclesiastes 3:1). There are summer seasons of harvest and bounty, autumn months of pruning and planning, and winter seasons of digging and waiting.

Best of all, The Secret Garden reminds us that spring is coming! No matter how dry or barren things might look, our lives can and will blossom again under the gentle care of our Lord. He can bring order out of chaos, restore that which was lost, and cause His people to flourish—even after a long winter season. He plants seeds of revival, bringing to life things that look dead. By His power, our lives and relationships can burst into full and glorious bloom once more because Jesus is in the business of making all things new (Revelation 21:5)! * * * * * * *

EXCERPT:

She hesitated and looked at the tray. “Did I interrupt your dinner?”

“I’m an adult. If I want to eat dessert first, I can.” She handed him the box, and he pulled out a cupcake, the cream cheese frosting all but calling his name. He unwrapped a cupcake and sank his teeth into pure lusciousness. For the first time since the accident, the pain dulled and his appetite returned. He extended the box to her. “Want one?”

“No, thanks. How do people clear the air after nine years? That’s a long time. Too long for grudges.”
