Oath of Honor by Lynette Eason

I think I am really going to enjoy Lynette Eason's new Blue Justice series. Wow! I knew this book would be a good one when I requested it and and was not wrong. I think I will even enjoy it more than the last series since this series is focused just on one family, the St. Johns. The first one is Izzie, one of six siblings most of who are in some kind of police service. Her mother is the chief of police and her father is a lawyer. I'm not giving anything away. This is on the back of the book. Anyway her partner, Kevin Marshall is killed at a warehouse. Izzie teams up with Kevin's brother Ryan to find who the killer is. Izze has been friends with Kevin's family since they are kids. This book kept me engaged. Very thrilling with lots of twists. Just when you think everyone is safe you find out differently! I can't wait until the next book. Thanks to LibraryThing and the Revell company for providing me a copy of this book to read and review. If you are a lover of suspense you don't want to miss this book. Oath of Honor will be released on January 2, 2018 with the sequel coming out in the summer 2018.

The View from Rainshadow Bay by Colleen Coble

The View from Rainshadow Bay is the first book in the Lavender Fields series. You can count on a Colleen Coble romantic suspense novel to grab you from the get go and this one did not disappoint. In the first few chapters there are several murders. I had to keep turning the pages to see who was responsible.

Shauna McDade is a widow raising a five-year old son. She blames Nate Bannister for the death of her husband but she must learn to trust Nate in order to keep her and her precious son safe. Someone has already murdered a few people in their community and she could very well be the next target.

This book kept me guessing. I think I may have read every single novel that Collen Coble has written and I have been able to figure out who the villain was in many of her books but this one had me stumped. I never did figure out who it was until the characters figured it out. Maybe I re-read this book and see if I missed any clues!  There is a mystery that was not resolved in this book and I suspect it will be resolved in a sequel. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.

Thanks to Netgalley and Thomas Nelson for providing me a digital copy of this book to read and review. The View from Rainshadow Bay is due to be released on January 23, 2018.

Troubled Waters by Susan May Warren

Troubled Waters is book four in the Montana Rescue series. I have been looking forward to Ian and Sierra Rose's story since they were first introduced in the prequel. They definitely have chemistry and they definitely love each other but circumstances have kept them apart. Ian could never get over the fact that Sierra was not truthful with him concerning the disappearance of his niece. The disappearance of his niece has been a mystery since the prequel and we finally get some answers in this book. Even though the mystery of Esme is solved there are other mysteries evolving in this book such as the mysterious Brett which will be covered in a future book. Like all the other books this one has some action. While the other books had events dealing with the weather such as floods and snow this one deals with a shipwreck and Sierra and Ian on a desolate shore. The problem is that Sierra is still holding secrets from Ian. Will he be able to forgive her for still keeping secrets? 

Another thing I loved about the book besides the chemistry between Ian and Sierra is the developing relationship between Jess and Pete. I look forward to a future book with them. I also loved the cover of this book. The covers of her books just keep getting better with the good looking men on the cover.

I received an advance copy of this story from the author and publisher. The opinions stated above are entirely my own. Troubled Waters will be released on January 2, 2018.

The Man He Never Was by James L. Rubart

Torren Daniels goes missing for 9 months. He has no memory of where he was for that time in his life.  He has always dealt with anger issues and feels he has changed. His wife does not believe he has changed. He Has promised to change so too many times and it never did take. She has taken too much of his verbal abuse.  We quickly learn how he got the way he is. It steams from childhood abuse from his alcoholic abusive father who did not but belittle him.

This book kept me engrossed. I kept wondering if he could overcome the demons from his childhood. I kept reading to find out if he would win back the love of his wife. He slowly won the trust of his kids but his wife was another matter. He still had major changes he needed to do in his life. 

This book is not fluffy. It deals with real life issues that many families face. 

I highly recommend this book. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read a copy of this book. This book is due to be released on  February 20, 2018.

Almost Gone:Twenty Five Days and One Chance to Save Our Daughter by John Baldwin and McKenzie Baldwin

Almost Gone is the story of Mackenzie Baldwin and how she almost abandoned her Christian upbringing and married a smooth talking convincing Muslin man. Thankfully her parents found out in time and were able to bring her back to the faith. It was not easy since she was so thoroughly convinced that the Muslin faith was the correct faith. This Christian family came close to losing their precious daughter to a false religion.

This book should serve as a warning to all Christian parents to pray without ceasing for the soul of the children entrusted to them by God.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me a copy of this book to read and review.

Who the Bishop Knows by Vannetta Chapman

The final book in the Amish Bishop Mysteries "Who the Bishop Knows" is my favorite in the series. All the books were good but this one held my attention more than the first two. I stayed up way too late in order to finish it. 

This book started off with someone getting murdered. The murderer knows that Henry has these drawing skills and is threatened by Henry's ability even though Henry really did not see anything that could be beneficial to the investigation.

This book involved the youngies (Amish youth) getting involved in the investigation. I had no idea who the murderer was until it was revealed. I had a tiny inkling when Bishop Henry and Emma revealed their suspicions but was not sure.

I am sorry to see this series end but am pretty sure the author has another excellent series in the works. 

Who the Bishop Knows by Harvest House is due to be released on March 6, 2018. Thanks to Netgalley for providing me a digital copy of this book to read and review.
