~ BOOK BLAST WHAT NOT TO WEAR TO THE GRAVEYARD ~
What Not to Wear to a Graveyard (A Resale Boutique Mystery) by Debra Sennefelder About What Not to Wear to a Graveyard
After trading her Manhattan digs for her upstate hometown, fashionista Kelly Quinn has big plans for her grandmother’s consignment shop. But this All Hallow’s Eve someone is already dressed to kill . . .
A socialite’s missing dog has made front page news in Lucky Cove—complete with a hefty reward. But between renovating the consignment shop, planning her costume for a 1970s themed Halloween party, and scouting a location for a fashion shoot, Kelly doesn’t have time to search. Yet a visit to the local colonial-era cemetery—ideal for the moody atmosphere she’s after—soon turns up the precious pooch. Kelly’s looking forward to collecting the check—until she makes a gruesome discovery in an abandoned farmhouse: The dog’s owner, stabbed through the heart.
Kelly can’t help wondering why Constance Lane was traipsing around the farmhouse in stilettos. But as Kelly gets decked out in a vintage disco caftan, that isn’t the only fashion misstatement spooking her. Hidden in the dead woman’s past is a secret that could be the motive for the murder. And as the Halloween party gets started, even a menacing clown and a threatening bearded lady can’t keep Kelly from trick or treating for the truth—even if it means her last dance . . .

~ BLOG TOUR HIS SMALL TOWN DREAM ~
Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for His Small Town Dream by Tara Randel, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
☕🌲💖🌄☕🌲💖🌄☕🌲💖🌄☕
Title: His Small Town Dream Series: The Golden Matchmakers Club #3 Author: Tara Randel Publisher: Harlequin Heartwarming Release Date: August 23, 2022 Genre: Contemporary Romance (Sweet/Clean) This city girl…
Could be his perfect match! Adam Wright is ready to stop nursing his broken heart and give in to his family’s matchmaking. He knows lively marketing exec Carrie Mitchell wants to return to New York, but he’s showing her all small-town Golden has to offer…including himself. When his ex-fiancée arrives, it could scare Carrie away, or it may be a chance to heal past hurts…and share his small-town dream with her! EXCERPT:“The only way to get over your fear is to meet it.”
He brought her to Maggie, hoping Carrie would remember the animal.
She pushed her sunglasses on top of her head as she started walking again. “I’m not afraid. I just don’t know what to expect.”
“Hold on.” Adam strode to the office and reemerged with his hands full. When he got closer, he let her take a peek.
“Baby carrots and cut-up apples?”
“Treats.”
He dropped a few carrots in her hand. “Just let the horse smell them and she’ll take it from there.”
“I don’t know.”
He held out the apple pieces for the horse. When Maggie devoured them, he turned toward Carrie. “Like I said, Maggie knows what to do.”
A bit tentatively, Carrie approached, holding out her hand. Adam stood close, hoping to give her some confidence. Maggie did the rest.
Carrie pulled her hand back. “Oh, wow, that tickles.”
“Not so bad, huh?”
She smiled at him and his chest constricted.
“Can I try it again?”
He handed her a few more carrots. Again, she approached the horse and laughed when Maggie took the snack.
“Before you know it, you’ll be a pro,” he predicted.
“I’m really not sure small-town life is for me...”

Adam Wright is a brilliant, successful financial executive who has returned to his small hometown of Golden, Georgia, to run his family's adventure business after living in New York for several years.
Carrie Mitchell is an outgoing, energetic marketing executive who moved to Golden, Georgia, to work for their Chamber of Commerce. She grew up in New York City, so the slow pace and friendly atmosphere of Golden is quite an adjustment for her. Her roommate is her college friend, Serena.
Adam and Carrie are introduced by mutual friends at a gathering. They begin meeting each morning when they are in line for coffee at their favorite shop. Engaging quiet, reserved Adam in conversation is a challenge for the extroverted, bubbly Carrie.
As time goes by their friendship grows, and they begin to communicate on a deeper level. Once they get past formalities and begin feeling more comfortable around each other, it's apparent that they could have something special together if they can just move past their core issues and the traumatic events in their pasts.
One of the themes that drew me into this story was the respect and kindness Adam shows toward Carrie and the other people in his life. He is essentially a stand-up guy who is dealing with heartache and disappointment. It turns out he has a great sense of humor and a heart of gold. He becomes Carrie's encourager, and with his support she takes risks and tries things she was previously fearful of attempting such as horseback riding.
Carrie is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to promoting the town of Golden as a vacation destination along creating new events in Golden. She is a self-proclaimed workaholic and overachiever. Personally, she is recovering from a bad situation in New York which damaged her self-esteem and positive attitude about her future.
When Adam and Carrie are ambushed by individuals from their respective pasts, they join together to heal. In the process, they find what they've been looking for all along—true, unconditional love and a dream for a brighter tomorrow.
This is one of my favorite clean, wholesome romance reads of this year! The story is completely clean in language and content. Highly recommended!

~ FRIDAY FICTION FEATURE FORGED BLOG TOUR ~
Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Forged by Sara Davison, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: Forged Series: The Night Guardians Series #4 Author: Sara Davison Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink Release Date: September 5, 2022 Genre: Christian, Romantic Suspense The one missing person he can’t find
is the one who matters the most.Private Investigator Jax Rodriguez has been searching for his brother, Diego, for twenty years. When he stumbles upon another lead, he makes an agonizing decision—he will follow this last trail until it grows cold, and then he will marry the woman he loves and abandon his quest once and for all.
Artist Mikayla Grant is terrified of losing another person close to her, but she has to let Jax go after his brother. Given the secrecy surrounding Diego’s disappearance, clearly Jax is heading into danger. When all contact with him is abruptly cut off, can Mikayla trust that God’s promise to never leave or forsake Jax will be enough to bring him safely home, or does she need to take matters into her own hands?
As Jax attempts to survive the dangerous streets of Caracus, Venezuela and then face the myriad of unknown threats in the El Yunque Rainforest in Puerto Rico, he is not the only one following his brother’s trail.
A ruthless drug lord bent on revenge is using all his resources to discover the truth about what happened to Diego. If Jax can't stay one step ahead of his pursuer, then he, like his brother, could disappear and never be heard from again.
EXCERPT:
The phone rang four times before Mikayla answered with a breathless, “Jax?”
Her voice, even that one word, wrapped around him like a winter jacket he’d pulled on to ward off the cold night. “Hola, preciosa.”
“Hola. ¿Cómoestás?”
Where did he even begin? “I just came from Diego’s grave.”
“Oh, Jax. I’m so sorry.”
The compassion in her voice nearly undid him. Unutterable weariness swept over him. The only thing he wanted was to drop onto a couch, pull Mikayla to him, her head resting on his chest, and fall asleep with his cheek pressed to her silky hair.
Through the line, she drew in a shuddering breath. “I wish I could hold you.”
Jax managed a wry grin. “You are reading my thoughts.”
“Will you come home?”
He hesitated. Now, listening to her in the stillness of the car, the lights of Puerto Rico streaming past his windows, coming home to her sounded like the only good idea in the world. This quest still tangled him up like that fly in the spider web, though. Why? Diego was dead. As the blond man had reminded him, he could do nothing for his brother now. So why couldn’t he wipe away the cobwebs of this case as easily as he had swiped the bits of web off on his jeans earlier? All he knew was that he couldn’t.

I never actually made the conscious decision to write suspense/romantic suspense, but when I started seriously writing stories, that’s what came out. Not surprising, since romantic suspense has always been my favourite genre to read.
In general, Christian romantic suspense tends to follow a rough formula, although the guidelines are not as rigid as they are with straight suspense. Typically, the hero (or, more often now, the heroine) is either a cop, private eye, or current or former military. The heroine (or, more often now, the hero) is in some kind of danger and needs protection. Despite all precautions, the bad guy/girl usually manages to get to the one in danger and the hero or heroine must rescue them. Of course there is romantic tension simmering throughout as well.
My books rarely follow even that loose formula closely. While most, if not all, would still clearly be classified as romantic suspense simply by virtue of that fact that, even if they don’t always follow that outline, they contain roughly equal suspense and romance elements, a number of them could also be assigned another sub-genre. Written in Ink, for example, could probably best be described as romantic-suspense-women’s fiction, which, unfortunately for me, isn’t a genre that exists. The Watcher is speculative romantic suspense while The Seven Trilogy would be considered dystopian romantic suspense. And since every book doesn’t end with the hero and heroine together (because the story arc takes place over the whole series) those ones can’t even be categorized as romance, as one of the stipulations of that genre is that there is a HEA for the main couple.
All of which makes it tricky for publishers and readers to know exactly what to do with me and my work. That’s one of the reasons I am now a hybrid author. While I love my two publishing houses, am deeply grateful for their support and the many ways they have made my work better, and have had nothing but good experiences with them, as an indie author there is more freedom to write the way the stories naturally flow out of me.
Most of my readers are those who typically read Christian suspense and romantic suspense. Thankfully, the fact that my books are often different than those that normally fall into those categories doesn’t seem to be a deterrent for them. Hopefully, the fact that it isn’t always as easy to figure out where the journey is going to take them will actually draw them to my stories. As an author, while it can be a lot easier to follow a more rigid formula, it is far more interesting to not worry too much about that and to just let the story and the characters take me where they will.
However readers feel about my books, I pray that they will take from them the underlying theme of each one – that whatever we are going through (and my poor characters go through plenty!!) we are never alone. God is always with us and has promised to never leave us or forsake us, even when we can’t predict where the road (or the story) will take us.

~ BLOG TOUR STOP PHOTO FINISHED ~
Photo Finished (Callie Cassidy Mysteries)by Lori Roberts Herbst📷🖼️📷🖼️📷🖼️📷🖼️📷🖼️ About Photo Finished
📷🖼️📷🖼️📷🖼️📷🖼️📷🖼️
About Lori Roberts HerbstWhen a visit to a Colorado dude ranch turns deadly, it's up to photographer Callie Cassidy to corral the killer...
As maid of honor (aka grande dame) in her best friend's upcoming wedding, Callie wants to plan the perfect bridal shower. And what could be better than a girls' trip with their posse of friends?
The women jump at the idea and suggest a destination—Moonglow Ranch, a serenity retreat-slash-dude ranch owned by one friend's aunt and uncle.
When they arrive, Callie is less than enthusiastic. Serenity doesn't come easily to a former investigative photojournalist. Plus, her horse is stubborn as...well, a mule. She's warned to be on the lookout for snakes. Worst of all—gasp!—Moonglow only serves healthy food. Still, her friends are having a great time, and even Callie's golden retriever Woody and tabby cat Carl seem right at home on the ranch. For their sake, she tries to tap into her inner Zen.
Then the conniving wife of the town's most powerful man interrupts the party and threatens the ranch's proprietors. Callie worries the trip is destined for disaster.
Later, Callie finds the woman's body in the stable, apparently trampled by a horse. Or did she die from a snakebite? Or—as Callie suspects—could something even more sinister be at work?
Answers are as difficult to find as a needle in the haystack. And when the police chief accuses the ranch owners of murder, Callie realizes she'll need to lasso the real outlaw—before the wrong people end up in the pokey.

Welcome to the Blog + Review Blitz for The Cowgirl's Redemption by Mindy Obenhaus, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
🐎💘🐴💕🐎💘🐴💕🐎💘🐴💕 ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: The Cowgirl's Redemption Series: Hope Crossing #1 Author: Mindy Obenhaus Publisher: Love Inspired Release Date: August 23, 2022 Genre: Christian, Contemporary Romance She came home to make things right
Will she be given a second chance?Gloriana Prescott has returned to her Texas hometown to make amends—even if the townsfolk she left behind aren’t ready to forgive. But when her mother’s ranch manager, Justin Broussard, is tasked with saving the struggling rodeo so his teen daughter can compete, Gloriana sees a chance to prove she’s really changed. But can she prove to Justin, and the town, that she’s trustworthy? EXCERPT:
“What are you doing?”
After regaining her wits, she resumed scrubbing the metal surface. “Isn’t it rather obvious?”
“Yes, but why?”
Frustrated, she paused, swiping the back of her hand across her brow before sweat dripped into her eyes. “Because I owe it to the town. I am not the same Gloriana Prescott you and everyone else remembers, and I wish folks would just get over it and move on.” She finally met his gaze. “Including you. I know what I did was beyond wrong, and I’ve been trying to apologize, but you won’t even give me the opportunity. I feel horrible for what I did to you. And if I could go back and undo everything, I would. But I can’t. All I can do is say I’m sorry. And now that I’ve done that, I need to get back to work.”
🐎💘🐴💕🐎💘🐴💕🐎💘🐴💕 MY REVIEW:
A moving story of personal and spiritual growth, coming home, and finding true joy . . .
I have had the pleasure of reading several of Author Mindy Obenhaus's previous Love Inspired inspirational romance novels. 'The Cowgirl's Redemption' is one of my favorite of the author's books because of the main character, Gloriana Prescott.
Simply stated, as a teen Gloriana was a young woman who was self-centered who acted without a care or concern for how her behavior would affect her family, friends, or community. Now she is in her early to mid-thirties, and she has definitely changed. She is a new Christian who has a sincere desire to make things right with her family and her hometown of Hope Crossing, Texas. She is a successful broadcast journalist in Nashville when she decides to head home to take care of her ailing mother.
As Gloriana attempts to make amends with some particular individuals from her past, her apologies are met with skepticism, rudeness, and hurtful words. She didn't expect her mission to gain their forgiveness to be easy, but their attitudes and reactions toward her efforts hurt—a lot.
Unexpected events happen, as they always do in this author's stories, and Gloriana's heart and life are opened up to new possibilities that she could not have imagined in a million years.
With a strong cast of supporting characters, this book is filled with faith, love, and forgiveness. The book is completely clean in language and content.
I received a copy of this book from the author as a member of her launch team. All of my opinions and thoughts expressed here are solely my own.

🍁🍂🍃🌻🌼🍄🍁🍂🍃🌻🌼🍄
Welcome to the Takeover + Review Blitz for The Forever Farmhouse by Lee Tobin McClain, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
🍁🍂🍃🌻🌼🍄🍁🍂🍃🌻🌼🍄 ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: The Forever Farmhouse Series: Hometown Brothers #1 Author: Lee Tobin McClain Publisher: HQN Books Release Date: September 6, 2022 Genre: Sweet Contemporary Romance A Chesapeake island homecoming—and a life-changing discovery
When Ryan Hastings first came to Teaberry Island, he was a troubled teen on his last chance. He’s returning as a renowned scientist, checking in on his widowed foster mother. But one thing hasn’t changed—Ryan’s feelings for the girl next door whom he loved…and left. Mellie Anderson has a son now, and a good life that Ryan believes he’s still too damaged to share. But he knows he can help young Alfie, who’s getting picked on at his new school.
Mellie is grateful her gifted son is getting extra support, and torn about where it’s coming from. Ryan has no idea he’s Alfie’s father. No matter how valid her reasons were, could Ryan ever understand why she didn’t tell him? But in this close-knit community, friendship and forgiveness are always near at hand, and forever love might be waiting just next door. EXCERPT:
The big rambling farmhouse wasn’t fancy, but it was the best place Ryan had lived throughout a chaotic childhood. Situated at the end of a residential street—one of only a few on the island—it overlooked the bay and adjoined a marshland that had been the key to Ryan’s love of the area, the beginning of his interest in the bay’s ecosystems.
Next door, with plenty of yard in between, was Mellie’s much smaller house, where she’d grown up with her father and two sisters. It was surrounded by flowers, a rainbow of them, pretty enough for a garden magazine. Even as a teenager, Mellie had liked growing flowers and plants, and it looked like the hobby had become a passion.
Mellie and her sisters had been in and out of Mom’s house constantly; Ryan had seen her with skinned knees and covered with mosquito bites and mud, far more often than he’d seen her dressed up.

~ FRIDAY FICTION FEATURE ESCAPE ROUTE ~
Welcome to the Blog Tour for Escape Route by Tanya Stowe, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: Escape Route Author: Tanya Stowe Publisher: Love Inspired Suspense Release Date: August 23, 2022 Genre: Christian, Romantic Suspense Exposing a gang’s leader…
is the only way out of danger
While flying above the Texas border, helicopter pilot Tara Jean “TJ” Baskins witnesses a brutal murder. Now a deadly arms-smuggling gang wants her out of the way. To stay alive, TJ must work with border patrol officer Trace Leyton—her old friend and the man who once betrayed her—to catch the ringleader. But when the search leads to Trace’s family, can TJ trust him to save her? From Love Inspired Suspense: Courage. Danger. Faith. EXCERPT:TJ swallowed. “What did the Leytons do to you? You've worked for them most of your adult life.”
“Yeah, I have, and all that time they treated me like I was just another ranch hand. I worked my fingers to the bone for them and once in a while, if I was good, they’d toss me a bone like a dog.”
His jaw tightened. “When I turn you three over, Denby is gonna pay me enough to buy my own horse ranch, far from here and the Leytons. All Bill wanted was his nephew. Now that I got him a bona fide pilot, I'm gonna ask for a bigger cut. You’re a bonus he won't be expecting, and I'll make sure he pays for it.”
MY REVIEW:
An action-packed story of resolving misunderstandings, renewing faith, and finding love where it's least expected . . .
This is the first book I've read by Tanya Stowe, and I was impressed with her excellent character and scene development. There is nothing one-dimensional about this plot!
Tara Jean Baskins, called 'TJ' by just about everyone, is a skilled pilot who is doing contract work for the Border Patrol Service in Texas. She is not happy when she is paired up with a childhood friend and neighbor, Trace Leyton, to investigate a case involving illegal trade of goods over the border. She has awful memories of how she was treated by Trace's brother, Chad, and Chad's friend, Bill Denby.
Trace wants to diffuse the tension that fills the air whenever he is around TJ, whom he calls Tara Jean. Unfortunately for him, his attempts to discuss the past with her are unsuccessful. She is resistant to forgiving him and refuses to believe that he is remorseful about his behavior back then.
The author has included a strong group of supporting characters who add meaning and depth to the plot. In particular, TJ's widowed mother, Eva Baskins, is a wonderful addition to the story. Eva is the spiritual stronghold for the entire group of struggling younger adults and children who are having difficulty grasping the Lord's purpose and meaning for their lives. Eva became my favorite character in the story because of her sound advice.
The young foster teen, Squirt, and the younger boy, Bobby, are spirited and add some whimsy and levity to an otherwise tense story. The rapport that quickly develops between these two 'misfits' is realistic and sweet.
The final few chapters are literally a wild ride filled with action, red herrings, and danger. I enjoyed what you might call an unconventional type of romance between the two lead characters.
This book is completely clean in language and content.
I received a copy of this book from the author through JustRead Publicity Tours. All of my thoughts and opinions shared here are solely my own.

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Forgotten Memories by Penny Zeller, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Some memories are best forgotten…
The Wyoming Territory is rife with lawlessness and disorder, something Annie Ledbetter and her parents discover when their wagon train is robbed. Seven years later, Annie settles into her lifelong dream as a teacher in the small town of Willow Falls. When she meets handsome rancher Caleb Eliason through a humorous misunderstanding, she is quickly drawn to his kind heart and charming smile.
Former outlaw Caleb Eliason embraces his chance at a fresh start. Gone are the days of robbing stagecoaches and wagon trains. When he falls in love with the new Willow Falls teacher, he doesn’t realize they’ve met before—under much different circumstances. When his past comes to light, will it put the growing love between them at risk?
Can forgiveness and redemption heal two broken hearts or will the past keep them from sharing a future? EXCERPT:
“Miss Ledbetter!” Charlotte’s panicked tone and waving right hand interrupted Annie’s thoughts.
Annie jerked her head up from the task at hand. “What is it, Charlotte?” Surely an emergency had occurred for Charlotte to have overreacted in such a way.
“Miss Ledbetter, I’ve been trying in vain to capture your attention for the past ten minutes. It’s Tobias Hallman. He’s being a bother again.”
Tobias snorted. “The past ten minutes? More like the past ten seconds.”
“Is this true that you are being a bother, Tobias?” Annie stood for a better view of the conflict between her students.
“It’s possible, ma’am.”
“But, Miss Ledbetter, it is true. Tobias just tied my braids together!” Charlotte reached back behind her and pulled a mass of tangled blonde braids above her head. “See?”
“Tobias…” Annie began.
“Miss Ledbetter, you must do something. My braids are wound together in a jumbled clump. I shall absolutely faint away into a hodgepodge of nothingness if something isn’t done to relieve this knotted mess!”
Tobias rolled his eyes. “Charlotte, you exaggerate like no one I’ve ever known. You’ll no more faint away into a lodge of nothingness than I’ll be on the next stage to California.”
Charlotte spun around in her chair and glared at Tobias. “Not a lodge of nothingness, Tobias Hallman. A hodgepodge of nothingness. You are such an ill-mannered and impertinent boor!”
“You and your big vocabulary. You sling them fancy words around like you’re smart or something. Even you don’t know what they mean.”
Several snickers followed Tobias’s insinuation.
“You take that back, Tobias! I do know what every single word I use means. Every singleword.”
“I’ll not take it back. It’s your own fault about your braids. If they weren’t so long, they wouldn’t find themselves on my desk. Keep them in your own space or next time I’ll bring my ma’s sewing scissors.”
