Hey bookish friends! How are you all doing? I am doing okay, it was a rough week. Today, I am in the car with my family and my daughter's boyfriend, headed to NC for a few days. They will be busy days and we will be back home on Wednesday. I hope to still get some time in for reading and blogging.

Ranch Showdown Spotlight + Excerpt

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Ranch Showdown by Tina Wheeler, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Genre: Christian, Romantic Suspense

Excerpt:

“Shut the door.” A man she didn’t know strolled out of her kitchen, sporting black-framed glasses, a graying goatee and surgical gloves. He held a gun in one hand and a ceramic mug in the other. That had to be the coffee she smelled. He took a sip before placing the mug on the dining room table next to a teddy bear she’d never seen before.

The All-American

Title: The All-American

Author: Susie Finkbeiner

Publisher: Revell

Genre: Christian Fiction, Historical Fiction,

My Review:

I am on a Susie Finkbeiner kick. I am trying to read all her books and every time I turn around (it seems). I learn about another one she has written. I absolutely love the cover of The All-American, her newest release. We have come, yet again, to a story that will be hard for me to explain all that I felt as I read this story.
