"one perfect year" by melinda curtis + giveaway

One Perfect Year (A Harmony Valley Novel)
A widow and her former best friend reconnect when both are drawn back to their small hometown.
One Perfect Year
(Harmony Valley #4)
Melinda Curtis
Adult Contemporary Romance
March 1, 2015 by Harlequin Heartwarming


He's coming up on her blind side.

 How can Shelby Hawkley forgive Gage Jamero for bailing on her when she needed him most? He and her husband, Nick, were the best part of her life. Now her former best friend is back, shaking up the widowed wine harvester's world. The safest bet is to protect herself. Except Gage is awakening feelings that are decidedly unfriend-like.

Shelby is the woman Gage has secretly loved since high school. Starting over—together—could be the best dream he's ever had. If only he can find the courage to say what he should have said all those years ago.
I'm an absolute sucker for those "friends falling in love" stories—especially ones where one friend has loved the other for a long time. (No, I don't know why I like these stories—in real life, it would be absolutely miserable to be that friend!) So the fact that this is one of "those" stories, coupled with my previous enjoyment of the author's entry in the Christmas, Actually anthology, made me jump at the chance to review this book.

One Perfect Year is ... nice. That is to say, it's a very pleasant romance with likable characters and an enjoyable plot. I very much liked Gage and could understand his hesitance to commit to staying in Harmony Valley. I also actually found the description of the wine business to be very interesting (this surprised me greatly).

I guess what I also mean by "it's nice" is that One Perfect Year isn't very memorable. I definitely enjoyed the story while I was reading it, but it's not one that will stick with me (as Curtis' The Christmas Date did). If you're looking for a nice romance to pass the time, this could be the ticket, but it's probably not a book that will end up on your favorites list. 3-1/2 stars.

Content note: The Harlequin Heartwarming line, of which One Perfect Year is a part, promises clean romances—no explicit sex or language, no sex outside of marriage, and traditional values. These are not inspirational romances, so they won't include much mention of God or faith. Basically, I consider these romances to be the book equivalent of Hallmark movies! (One Perfect Year does contain one very mild curse word.)

"the trouble with patience" by maggie brendan

Sparks fly when a plucky young woman and a hardened marshal meet in an Old West town.
Patience Cavanaugh has lost hope in romance. The man she yearned to marry is dead and her dreams are gone with him. Now she is consumed with restoring a dilapidated boardinghouse in order to support herself. 

 Despite Patience's desire for solitude, Jedediah Jones, the local marshal with a reputation for hanging criminals, becomes an ever-looming part of her life. It seems like such a simple arrangement: She needs someone with a strong back to help her fix up the boardinghouse. He needs a dependable source of food for himself and his prisoners. But as she gets to know this "hanging lawman," Patience finds there is far more to him than meets the eye--and it could destroy their tenuous relationship forever.

 With a keen eye for historical detail and a deft hand at romantic tension, Maggie Brendan invites you to a Montana gold rush boomtown, where vices and virtues are on full display and love is lying in wait.
Maggie Brendan brings the Old West to vivid life in The Trouble with Patience. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and seeing how the town functioned. Nevada City, the setting of the book, is a real Old West town, and Brendan used some of the real places in the novel. (A bakery in the Old West—who knew?) I found Patience to be a particularly interesting character—she's not your typical thin, beautiful heroine, and she struggles with body image in a way that I don't often see in fiction but see everywhere in real life!

Patience and Jed's journey to each other is interesting, if a bit predictable. They do make a good match, and I was glad that Brendan didn't throw too many obstacles in their way. However, the last third of the book did seem to drag on a bit—possibly because I anticipated every plot twist, and without Patience and Jed's future in real question, I felt like the book could have wrapped up sooner.

While I only mildly enjoyed The Trouble with Patience, I do think that many historical romance lovers will really enjoy it. (Admittedly, I'm more of a contemporary girl with some notable exceptions.) 3 stars.

introducing "one perfect year" by melinda curtis + giveaway

In November, I reviewed the Harlequin Heartwarming title Christmas, Actually. While the anthology as a whole was just okay, I absolutely loved Melinda Curtis' entry, The Christmas Date. When the opportunity to review her new novel, One Perfect Year, presented itself, I jumped at the chance. I started reading last night, and it's really good so far! My review will go up on Friday ... in the meantime, here's some info about the book and the tour—and a giveaway!
A themed tour through Prism Book Tours.

We're Launching the BOOK TOUR for
One Perfect Year
By Melinda Curtis

A sweet romance from Harlequin Heartwarming 
about two old friends with past mistakes between them.


Intro to One Perfect Year

Harmony Valley sits at the northernmost edge of Sonoma County wine country and is in trouble. All the big employers have moved on, and without jobs, everyone under the age of 65 has left town. The 70 or so residents remaining are set in their ways, to say the least. And now a group of twenty-somethings (whippersnappers!) have come to town to start a winery. Old clashes against new with fun and heartwarming results. Although each book is a step closer to bringing the town back to life, each book also stands alone (because I hate it when you need to read from book 1 to enjoy the series).

In One Perfect Year, a young widowed wine cellar manager, Shelby Hawkley, finds her life shaken up when her former best friend shows up in town. How can Shelby forgive Gage Jamero for bailing on her when she needed him most? Gage has secretly loved Shelby since high school. If only he can find the courage to say what he should have said all those years ago, then maybe they could put the past aside and start over?together.

"esther: royal beauty" by angela hunt

God's rescue of the Jews through the courage of Queen Esther comes to vivid life in Angela Hunt's Esther: Royal Beauty.
When an ambitious tyrant threatens genocide against the Jews, an inexperienced young queen must take a stand for her people.

 When Xerxes, king of Persia, issues a call for beautiful young women, Hadassah, a Jewish orphan living in Susa, is forcibly taken to the palace of the pagan ruler. After months of preparation, the girl known to the Persians as Esther wins the king's heart and a queen's crown. But because her situation is uncertain, she keeps her ethnic identity a secret until she learns that an evil and ambitious man has won the king's permission to exterminate all Jews--young and old, powerful and helpless. Purposely violating an ancient Persian law, she risks her life in order to save her people...and bind her husband's heart.
In recent years, Queen Esther has been a popular subject for books and films. Some have been great (Jim Baumgardner's Esther Queen of Persia), others not so much (the film One Night with the King). Angela Hunt's Esther stands out from the other things I've read an seen about Esther because it focuses not only on Esther's journey to becoming queen and her time in the palace but also on the events preceding the king's search for a new queen.

Esther is told from two points of view: Hadassah's and Harbonah's. Harbonah is the king's most trusted eunuch, and the insight into the king and the Persian government that his chapters give richly enhances the story.

Angela Hunt clearly did her research (there's a list of sources at the back of the novel, as well as a note from Hunt that explains her process), and the result is an incredibly compelling account of this biblical heroine.

The beginning of the book didn't grab my attention in the way I'd hoped, and I found myself not liking young Hadassah at all. However, the Harbonah chapters kept me engaged, and by the time Hadassah found herself being prepared for a night with the king, I was completely hooked. I also appreciated how Hadassah grew throughout the novel—from a young, selfish teen to a queen who realized she was a part of something greater than herself.

I expected Esther to be mainly about Haman's plot to kill the Jews and God's rescue of His people. While that part is there (of course), this novel covers so much more than that, and I think it's so much richer and more realistic because of all the details. 4 stars.

 Buy the book.
Read my reviews of Hunt's The Offering (4-1/2 stars), The Fine Art of Insincerity (5 stars), Five Miles South of Peculiar (4-1/2 stars), and The Golden Cross (5 stars).
With nearly five million copies of her books sold worldwide, Angela Hunt is the New York Times bestselling author ofThe Tale of Three Trees, The Note, and The Nativity Story. Angela's novels have won or been nominated for several prestigious industry awards, including the RITA Award, the Christy Award, the ECPA Christian Book Award, and the HOLT Medallion Award. Romantic Times Book Club presented Angela with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006. In 2008, she completed her doctorate in Biblical Studies and is currently completing her Th.D. Angela and her husband live in Florida, along with their mastiffs. She can be found online at www.angelahuntbooks.com.

introducing the "rewinding time" series by deborah heal + giveaway

Last week, author Deborah Heal stopped by the blog to talk about what genre her books fit into. Today, I have the pleasure of introducing you to her new Rewinding Time series, which is set 15 years after her excellent Time & Again series. (You can see my reviews of those books here.) I'd hoped to have a review of the first Rewinding Time book, Once Again, for you today, but alas, life (and speech season) got in the way. I'm currently reading Once Again, and I'm really enjoying it. Hopefully the review will come soon, but in the meantime, check out this series for yourself, and don't forget to enter the giveaway at the bottom!
Deborah Heal’s New Rewinding Time Series: inspirational novels of history, mystery & romance.

Deborah Heal’s new Rewinding Time Series features some of the same characters from her Time and Again trilogy, but it takes place fifteen years after that amazing summer Abby came to tutor Merrideth. (Note: You can snag Time and Again FREE for Kindle. OR get the whole boxed trilogy at a discount.)

It is not necessary to read the trilogy in order read the new Rewinding Time Series, but those who did will enjoy revisiting Merrideth Randall, who is all grown up with “history mysteries” of her own to solve. Her day job is teaching history at a small college. But after hours she turns to her first love, historical research. And she has a tool other historians can only dream of—a computer program that rewinds time!
Once Again (book 1)

FROM PROFESSOR RANDALL’S NOTEBOOK…

 Field Research Location:
Columbia and Waterloo, Monroe County, Illinois.

 Goals:
Discover where Fort Piggot was located on the Kaskaskia Trail, while staying clear of attractive, single colleagues (ie. Brett!) so as not to commit career suicide, while also keeping the "rewinding time" program secret, so Uncle Sam doesn't turn into Big Brother.

Merrideth makes a virtual visit to the 1780s, hoping to be the first to locate an ancient pioneer fort. Along the way, she gets a first-hand look at the lives of the courageous settlers of the Illinois Country, who withstood Indian attacks, hardship, and loneliness to settle the rich land.

One of the settlers is James Garretson, who risks his life to take the Gospel to the very tribe that wreaked havoc on his family. Merrideth is amazed that he could forgive a crime so huge. Hero or fool, James Garretson is the ancestor of her colleague Brett, a physics professor at her college.

With her findings, Merrideth is able to help Brett with his genealogy, but she can’t tell him everything she learned—like that he inherited his black hair and green eyes from James Garretson, or that his aunt’s poetry is eerily similar to the verse Garretson’s wife Isabelle used to compose at her spinning wheel.

Brett has rock-star status on campus, but amazingly enough, he seems to be pursuing Merrideth—in spite of her firm policy against dating co-workers. She would love to tell him about her amazing program, but discretion is not his strong suit. She has secrets about herself that she’d just as soon he didn’t find out either. One virtue Brett does have is patience, and he’s quite willing to wait for Merrideth to figure things out.

CLICK TO READ A FREE EXCERPT OF ONCE AGAIN.

Only One Way Home (book 2)

FROM PROFESSOR RANDALL'S NOTEBOOK…

 FIELD RESEARCH SITE: Golconda, Illinois.

 GOAL: Trace client’s Frailey ancestors—back to Scotland if possible—and get home in time for dinner.

 NOTE TO SELF: Do NOT fall in love with Matthias Frailey—even though he is was quite wonderful. Remember, idiot, he’s been dead for over 175 years.

Professor Merrideth Randall’s latest after-hours genealogy consulting gig takes her and friends Abby and John to the small southern Illinois town of Golconda on the Ohio River. She expects to have to research the old-fashioned way at the courthouse. But thankfully, her client’s ancestor Matthias Frailey once hung out in Golconda’s ancient Ferry House Inn, and that means Beautiful Houses, Merrideth’s time-rewinding software, will work after all.

It doesn’t take Merrideth and her friends long to time-surf back to find out what they need to know about Matthias Frailey and his family. But when they become eyewitnesses to the arrival of the Cherokee on the Golconda Ferry on December 3, 1838, they cannot tear their eyes away from the tragedy that unfolds—nor from Matthias Frailey’s heroic response to it. The people are herded down Main Street on their Trail of Tears, bound for the Oklahoma Country, while the townsfolk only watch, or even cheer. But not Matthias Frailey. He does what he can to help them, especially a very spirited—and very pregnant—woman named White Dove who insists on walking so others may ride in the wagons.

Spending so much time inside Matthias’ head, Merrideth has no doubt that he is the kind, selfless man he appears to be. It’s impossible not to fall a little in love with him—despite the fact that he’s from another century. Meanwhile, in the here and now, handsome Golconda historian Aaron Landis is doggedly pursuing her. And back home her colleague Brett Garrison keeps calling while he waits for her return. But are they—or any man—worthy of her trust? Too bad there isn’t a way to time-surf in their heads. Now that would be a dating tool she could really put to good use.

"twisted innocence" by terri blackstock

Terri Blackstock's Moonlighters series comes to a satisfying conclusion in Twisted Innocence.
Holly Cramer's past choices have finally caught up to her, but she never expected them to endanger her baby.

 Though Holly's stumbled through most of her adult life as a party girl, she longs to live a more stable life for her daughter. Then police show up to question her about the whereabouts of Creed Kershaw, Lily's father. She has kept his identity a secret from friends and family---she never even told him about the pregnancy. Now he's a person of interest in a drug-related murder case.

 Determined to keep him out of their lives and turn him over to police, Holly uses her private investigating skills to search for him. But her bravado backfires when he turns the tables and takes her and the baby hostage. As desperate hours tick by, Holly realizes his connection to Leonard Miller-the man who has gunned down several members of her family. Creed claims he's innocent and that Miller is after him too. His gentleness with Lily moves her, but she can't trust a man who has held her at gunpoint . . . even if he reminds her so much of herself.

 Dangers old and new threaten Holly and her baby, and lives are demanded as sacrifices for love. Through a complex web of mistakes and regret, redemption is the one hope Holly has left to hold on to.
When I began Twisted Innocence, I was so lost. "Who's Holly?" I thought. "Why is Michael in prison?" So I went back and read my review of Distortion, which helped a bit. I still felt a bit off kilter, but I kept reading ... and then I hit Chapter 6. In Chapter 6, Blackstock gives a nice recap of the major events of the first two books in the series through an entry on Cathy Cramer's blog, effectively reaching out to her readers who, like me, can't quite remember the events of the previous books. This recap would also bring new readers up to speed—though I do think the series is best read in order!

Twisted Innocence surprised me in a good way. While bad things definitely happen in the novel, the good things far outweigh the bad. In fact, after one pivotal plot point was resolved, I kept waiting for the other proverbial shoe to drop. It never did, and I'm so happy about that! (Maybe I've just watched too many prison movies ...) That's not to say the suspense isn't there—I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. But the terrible things that I expected to happen never did. Also, the Leonard Miller thread that weaves through all three books is resolved in a satisfying manner, and it was nice to see Cathy and Michael's story continue. I also enjoyed watching Holly and Creed find redemption in Christ.

Twisted Innocence is suspenseful and intense, and it makes a great read. Fans of suspense will love this series. 4-1/2 stars.

See what others are saying.
Buy the book.
Read my review of Distortion (5 stars).
Terri Blackstock has sold over six million books worldwide and is a New York Times bestselling author. She is the award-winning author of "Intervention," "Vicious Cycle," and "Downfall," as well as such series as Cape Refuge, Newpointe 911, the SunCoast Chronicles, Restoration, and Moonlighters.

In Terri Blackstock’s third and final book in her Moonlighters series, Twisted Innocence, readers are in for a story of suspense and redemption. Dangers old and new threaten Holly and her baby, and lives are demanded as sacrifices for love.

"sabotaged" by dani pettrey

Get your copy of SABOTAGED by Author Dani Pettrey!

Dani Pettrey's Alaskan Courage series ends as it began—with romance, mystery, and family.
Growing up, goody-two-shoes Kirra Jacobs and troublemaker Reef McKenna were always at odds. Now paired together on Yancey’s search-and-rescue canine unit, they begin to put aside old arguments as they come to see each other in a different light.

 Then a call comes in from the Iditarod that will push them to their limits. Kirra’s uncle, a musher in the race, has disappeared. Kirra and Reef quickly track the man, but what they discover is harrowing. Frank’s daughter has been kidnapped. In order to save her, the man must use his knowledge as a mechanical engineer to do the kidnapper’s bidding or she will die.

 Kirra and Reef, along with the entire McKenna family, are thrown into a race to stop a shadowy villain who is not only threatening a girl’s life, but appears willing to unleash one of the largest disasters Alaska has ever seen.
I was hesitant to read Sabotaged for one reason, and one reason alone: I didn't want the books about the McKenna family to end!

Sabotaged kicks off with intense action, and that intensity carries throughout the novel. I didn't think the romance was quite as heart-tugging/sigh-inducing as in some of the previous novels (especially Shattered, book 2 in the series), but it was still nice and moved at a good pace. As an added bonus, we got to check in with all the other McKennas to see the progress in their love lives!

What I especially loved about Sabotaged was the suspense. I mentioned this in my review of Silenced (book 4 in the series), and it's true here, too: Pettrey is becoming a master of romantic suspense. The first three books in the series were suspenseful, but I wouldn't call them nail biters. Silenced and Sabotaged take the suspense to new levels!

Sabotaged is a fitting conclusion to the Alaskan Courage series, but I hope that Pettrey will give us the opportunity to check in with the McKennas again! 4-1/2 stars.

 Note: This is book five in the series, and the books really should be read in order.

Read an excerpt.

Enter the Heart of Adventure Sweepstakes! (Giveaway runs through 2-22-15.)
Read my reviews of the other Alaskan Courage novels: Submerged (4-1/2 stars), Shattered (5 stars), Stranded (4-1/2 stars), Silenced (5 stars).

Dani Pettrey is a wife, home-schooling mom, and the acclaimed author of the romantic suspense series Alaskan Courage, which includes her bestselling novels Submerged,Shattered, Stranded, and her latest release, Silenced. She feels blessed to write inspirational romantic suspense because it incorporates so many things she loves–the thrill of adventure, nail biting suspense, the deepening of her characters’ faith, and plenty of romance. She and her husband reside in Maryland, where they enjoy time with their daughters, son-in-law, and super adorable grandson.
