The Highland Heist

Title: The Highland Heist

Series: Freddie & Grace Mystery #4

Author: Pepper Basham

Narrator: Pamala Klein

Publisher: Barbour Fiction

Genre: Historical Fiction, Mystery, Christian Fiction,

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

My husband and I listened to The Highland Heist by Pepper Basham on our trip this week. I have read the first three books, but he has not. I think the books are best read in chronological order so that you understand everything mentioned. However, I only had to stop the recording once to explain something to my husband; he got the gist of everything else. I thought the narration was okay.

Sense and Suitability

Author: Pepper Basham

Narrators: Fiona Hardingham and Christopher Ashman

Publisher: Thomas Nelson Audible Audio

Genre: Regency, Christian Fiction, Christian Romance, Classic Retelling,

Source: Net Galley

RELEASES: October 14, 2025

My Review:

I did not like Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. But when I saw Pepper Basham had a book coming out loosely based on it, I knew I had to read Sense and Suitability. Why? Because Pepper Basham wrote it. Also, this is Basham's first foray into the Regency genre.

Publisher: Independently Published/Dreamscape Media

Genre: Contemporary Romance, RomCom

Source: Net Galley

My Review:

The Double Play by Annah Conwell is the fourth book in the More Than A Game series.It can be read as a standalone novel; however, I highly recommend reading the series in order to appreciate the story best. The main characters in this book are Emmett and Hazel. Emmett has been in the previous books, and I was looking forward to getting this grump's story, spoiler alert, it did not disappoint. Also, I enjoyed the narration by Charlotte North and Tim Paige.
