~ REVELL READS BLOG TOUR LIFE FLIGHT ~
ABOUT THE BOOK:
"A heart-stopping, breath-stealing masterpiece of romantic suspense!"--Colleen Coble, USAToday bestselling author
EMS helicopter pilot Penny Carlton is used to high-stress situations, but being forced to land on a mountain in a raging storm with a critical patient--and a serial killer on the loose--tests her skills and her nerve to the limit. She survives with FBI Special Agent Holt Satterfield's help. But she's not out of the woods yet.
In the ensuing days, Penny finds herself under attack. And when news reaches Holt that he may not have gotten his man after all, it will take all he and Penny have to catch a killer--before the killer catches one of them.

PRAISE FOR THIS BOOK:
"Ready for a book that is a race from page one to the end? Then you need to read Life Flight."--Cara Putman, award-winning author of Flight Risk and Lethal Intent
Lynette Eason is the bestselling author of Life Flight and the Danger Never Sleeps, Blue Justice, Women of Justice, Deadly Reunions, Hidden Identity, and Elite Guardians series.

Learn more at www.lynetteeason.com.
REVIEW: A complex, riveting plot with memorable characters and settings . . . This book kicks off the author's new Christian romantic suspense series, Extreme Measures. Penny Carlton is an EMS pilot who relies on her intelligence, experience, and strength under pressure to accomplish the impossible during emergencies.This story begins with a tense emergency situation, and Penny Carlton deftly takes charge. With her quick-thinking and determination, Penny gains the upper hand and saves the lives of several individuals.
Her love interest, FBI Special Agent, Holton--Holt--Satterfield, is swiftly pulled into the case and he and Penny are a force to be reckoned with as they put clues together and eventually build a case against one of the most despicable, distasteful villains I have ever seen in a book.
I enjoyed watching Penny's team of close-knit women friends support and encourage each other throughout the story. With their shared troubled histories back from when they were teens, these women are unbelievably loyal to each other and resourceful when it comes to getting things done. I hope that each of these women become main characters in the upcoming books of this series.
There were some disturbing scenes of violence and graphic descriptions of the evil perpetrated by the villains in this story. The images conjured up by those scenes are best forgotten in light of the powerful plot and sub-plots woven into the story. Otherwise, the book is completely clean in language and content. The faith thread consists of prayers spoken during times of crisis and some discussion between the lead characters about their beliefs.
I received a paperback copy of this book from the publisher the Revell Reads Blogger Program. All of my opinions and thoughts expressed here are solely my own.

Excerpt from God is My Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom provided by Chosen Books, a division of Baker Publishing Group. Copyright 2021. Used by permission.
"Day 19 - The Beauty of God in His Creation" – p. 92, 192 words
When the worst happens in the life of a child of God, the best remains and the very best is yet to be.
I have seen many people behind closed doors in more than sixty countries. Some were behind the solid rock of hatred. But as they embraced forgiveness for themselves and chose to forgive their enemies, they were set free.
I have learned that forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness. I saw this key unlock many bondages, including drugs and alcohol.

~ MMGM I AM NOT A SOCK & JUNE'S NEW RELEASES ~
🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦ABOUT THE BOOK {from Goodreads}:
Take your craft projects to a whole new level with this ingenious series that turns recycling into an art form! Turn those extra socks into a snake, owl, dog toy, cat toy, mermaid, juggling balls, vegetable patch, and more. The sock crafts in this book are amazing fun for girls and boys. Each one comes with photographic step-by-step instructions and can be completed within an hour. The picture-book style narrative is full of humor and personality, with gorgeously illustrated scenes that show off your creations in style.
MY REVIEW:
-- Go Further: How to adapt the project instructions to make a different project, i.e. for the Horse, kids are shown how to make a Zebra. (page 11) There are great stepped-out photos and illustrations along with written captions. My personal favorites in this book were the pet toys children can make for their own pets or possibly for the local animal shelter. There is a braided sock toy for a dog and a braided sock with a ball toy for a dog. For a cat there is a fish cat toy made from a sock. All are very cute and easy to assemble. Highly-recommended! I borrowed this book from the local public library. 🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦🧦

Welcome to the Takeover Tour for High-Wire Heartbreak by Anna Schmidt, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
🎪💔🎪💔🎪💔🎪💔🎪💔🎪
Title: High-Wire Heartbreak Series: Doors to the Past Author: Anna Schmidt Publisher: Barbour Fiction Release Date: January 1, 2022 Genre: Fiction / Christian / Romance In 1936--A party at the Ringling mansion Ca d’Zan in Sarasota, Florida, leads to a robbery--and possibly death.
A successful historical mystery writer, Chloe Whitfield comes to Ca’ d’Zan to research her next novel. Chloe’s fascination with the circus is rooted in family stories of her great-grandmother Lucinda Conroy, who reportedly was a trapeze artist of some renown. She’s heard hints of scandal—and perhaps larceny, but no details.
Chloe’s grandmother—rumored to be Lucinda’s only offspring—was raised in an orphanage and never knew her mother. Intrigued as she is, Chloe has no intent of writing about Lucinda until she sees a poster featuring Lucinda as the star performer for a 70th birthday gala for John Ringling in May of 1936. From there the trail goes cold.
Who was Lucinda and what happened to her?

~ HIS ROAD TO REDEMPTION BLOG TOUR STOP ~
Welcome to the Blog Tour for His Road to Redemption by Lisa Jordan, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
ABOUT THE BOOK [image error] Title: His Road to Redemption Series: Holland Brothers Author: Lisa Jordan Publisher: Love Inspired Release Date: December 28, 2021 Genre: Contemporary Christian romance
A veteran in need of a fresh start will get more than he bargained for…
Veteran Micah Holland's scars go deeper than anyone knows. An inheritance from his mentor could be a new beginning—if he shares the inherited goat farm with fiercely independent Paige Watson. Now the only way they can keep the farm is to work together. But first Micah must prove he's a changed man to keep his dream and the woman he's falling for.
PURCHASE LINKS*: Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository | IndieBound | Christianbook | BookBub EXCERPT:
His eyes roamed over her face, taking in her fair complexion, the smattering of light freckles she chose to cover most days with makeup and her blue eyes that reminded him of summertime. She was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. Yet she didn’t realize just how much.
“Stop staring at me. You’re making me nervous.” Her eyes remained closed as her words slurred from fatigue.
Laughing softly and despite his longing to stay where he was, Micah pushed to his feet and readjusted the blanket over her. He caressed her cheek. “Get some rest, Sleeping Beauty. I’ll check on you later.”
She nodded, then once her breathing settled into a steady, rhythmic pattern, Micah let himself out of the cottage quietly so he didn’t disturb her.
A plan formed in his head as he considered showing Paige just how good they could be together.
Not just as business partners, but also with each other.
“I’m sorry for everything you’ve gone through.” Paige reached for Micah’s hand and gave it a squeeze. “God has a purpose for you. For this house. And for the men who will be living here.” She tapped his chest. “And it started here. If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t have come home for Ian’s funeral. You wouldn’t be going through all this to get the transitional home set up. You wouldn’t be talking to men like Jerome, encouraging them to take the next step.”
And she wouldn’t need to guard her heart to keep from falling for Micah. Because he was right—they needed to stay on track to meet their goals. And she couldn’t lose sight of that, either, by doing something silly like falling for a man who had a hard time recognizing love in his own family.

~ GREAT ESCAPES HOW TO BOOK A MURDER ~
How to Book a Murder (A Starlit Bookshop Mystery)by Cynthia Kuhn About How to Book a Murder
How to Book a Murder (A Starlit Bookshop Mystery)
[image error]
Cozy Mystery 1st in Series Publisher : Crooked Lane Books (December 7, 2021) Hardcover : 336 pages ISBN-10 : 1643858599 ISBN-13 : 978-1643858593 Digital ASIN : B08QVJFZZK
About Cynthia KuhnPerfect for fans of Jenn McKinlay and Kate Carlisle, in award-winning author Cynthia Kuhn’s series debut, small-town bookseller and literary event planner Emma Starrs is out to close the book on a killer intent on crashing the party.
To help save her family’s floundering Colorado bookstore, Starlit Bookshop, newly minted Ph.D. Emma Starrs agrees to plan a mystery-themed dinner party for her wealthy, well-connected high school classmate Tabitha Baxter. It’s a delightful evening of cocktails and conjecture until Tabitha’s husband, Tip—hosting the affair in the guise of Edgar Allan Poe’s detective C. Auguste Dupin—winds up murdered.
In a heartbeat, Emma and her aunt Nora, a famous mystery writer, become suspects. Emma is sure the party’s over for Starlit events, until celebrated author Calliope Nightfall, whose gothic sensibilities are intrigued by the circumstances, implores the bookseller to create a Poe-themed launch event for her latest tome. Throwing a bash to die for while searching for additional clues is already enough to drive Emma stark raven mad, but another shocking crime soon reveals that Silvercrest has not yet reached the final chapter of the puzzling case.
Someone in this charming artistic community has murder on the mind, and if Emma cannot outwit the killer, she and her beloved aunt will land behind bars, to walk free nevermore.
Cynthia Kuhn is an English professor and author of the Starlit Bookshop Mysteries and the Lila Maclean Academic Mysteries. Her work has also appeared in Mystery Most Edible, McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern, Copper Nickel, Prick of the Spindle, Mama PhD, and other publications. Honors include an Agatha Award, a William F. Deeck-Malice Domestic Grant, and Lefty Award nominations. Originally from upstate New York, she lives in Colorado with her family. For more information, please visit cynthiakuhn.net.
