Shadowing You by Robin Patchen

There are two Wright brothers. Roger has all sons, six in all.  Gavin has five daughters and a son that is a secrety. The son was the result of an affair that he had had years ago but he has kept the son hidden from all his daughters but the secret came out last year. Gavin loved his son and took responsibility for supporting him with education expenses.  Ethan fell and love and married Mei Lin.  While in China she disappears for 6 years and is presumed dead but in reality she had been in prison for that time living in deplorable conditions.  Due to a clerical error she is released from prison and manages to make a cell phone call to her husband. He immediately takes a leave from his job and goes in search of her. They finally meet up and the rest of the book is an adventure of them surviving getting out of China without the enemies seeking to destroy her from finding her.  So many near misses. They weren't even save once they arrived in the states.  They had Gavin and the many Wright family helping them which included Gavin, his half sisters nd their spouses and his cousins.  These were family he had never met but were willing to help.  I thought the Wright family chat with the brothers was quite amusing. They had family helping out every step of the way.  All the family coming together made this one my favorite of the series. This book is the last in the series so I'm going to miss the Wright family .

Thanks to Netgalley for supplying me a copy of this book to read and review. All opinions are my own.

Falling Into Us by Denise Hunter

 Falling Into Us is a sweet romance novel by Denise Hunter. Denise Hunter is my favorite romance writer but I didn't enjoy this book as much as others she has written. Still enjoyable but didn't connect as quickly with the characters as ones I have in the past. I liked Gabby Donaldson. I thought she wa a strong and sympathic woman. I loved how she interacted with Mason Morrison's young daugher.  It took a while for me to begin to like Mason. Something about him was offputting.  Favorite part of the book was how she intacted with her adopted aunts.  

I highly recommend this book for those who love a good clean romance.

She Will End This by Collen Coble and Rick Acker

  She will End This is the newest book written by Collen Coble and her co-author Rick Acker.  Britt Olsen is a successful true crime writer. She had recently taken a DNA test and the results shown that the father she had grown up with was not her biological father.  He was in fact an evil man.  Because she took the DNA test her evil father now knows she exists and also the FBI.  The FBI is involved because the president's granddaughter Willow  is kidnapped and her bio evil father is responsible.  The FBI agent is Steom Nordahl. Stein and Britt work together to help recover Willow. So suspenseful. Many twists and turns in this book.  There were many other villians involved but you did not know that they were evil until it was revealed.  

Highly recommend for those who love a good stay up late night reading suspenseful novel.

Anchoring You by Robin Patchen

 Anchoring You is Book 9 in the Wright Heroes of Maine. Gavin Wright, the patriach of this family has five daughters and is overly protective of each one. This book features Kenzie
, the youngest of the five sisters. She is the adventure one and a sailboat caption. She runs into Jasper Aylett who rescued her from a tense situation. We met Jasper briefly in the previous book as he is the brother of Noah and Charlotte's biological father. He has the reputation of a playboy but i working undercover as a DEA agent. Plenty of adventure in this book and escaping near death. In the last third of the book it got suspenseful and I could barely put the book down. Her father got involved toward the end where in the other books he was in the background. Even though all the daughters have been featured in their own storyline we are not finished with the Wright family. There is a long lost relative that will be featured in the next book and we may have already me this character.

The Bookshop of 99 Doors

 This book was so good that I don't feel I can write an adequate review without giving away spoilers. It has got to be one of my favorites of hers. If I didn't know that Jaime Jo Wright was a Christian write I'd almost be convince that this was a ghost story but read on. She always has a logical reason why the creepy mysterious events are happening. As with all of her stories this is a dual timeline. The modern one is with Triss who is from a family of ghost hunters. She's trying to get away from all that. The second is Millie. I think I liked her story better but both were excellent and it all came together in the end. If you are looking for a book with very little romance this book is for you. If you like gothic stories this is the book for you.

Conspiracy by Colleen Coble

 

Conspiracy is the last book in the Sanctuary series.  The first part of the book started out slow for me but by the middle of the book I couldn't put it down.  In this book we meet Paradise's half-brother, Drew who turned out to be very likable.  In this book Paradise, Blake and Drew investigate who murdered Drew's bio father, and Paradise's parents.  Their research reveals secrets that have been burried for 20 years.  I was surprised by who the villains were.

Candy Apple Kisses by Amy Clipston

 

I just love the romance stores set in small towns. I love this one. Made me wish I could live in a place like Splendid Lake. Spendid Lake is the setting from a previous book by Amy Clipston but this is a stand alone book. I don't recall if the previous characters from Splendid Lake were mentioned in this book. In this book Emily has always been in love with Jake but they always remained in the best buddies category. Jake's family has an orchard business and when the orchard starts to decline because of a large scale competition m
oving in that undercuts their prices Jake calls on his best friend Emily to come help him out. Jake has had an of again and on again relationship with the beautiful Claire, currently an ex. Jake and Emily might have a chance to be more than friends if Claire doesn't get in the way. I could not put this book down. This author usually writes in the Amish romance genre but I really do like her contemporary romance stories. She is such a good writer that I might read some of her Amish novels.
