Help Me, Hold Me by Barbara Gee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Final book in the Full Heart Ranch series. I've enjoyed every book in this series. Each book has been chocked full of suspense. Callie is close to her grandfather but his time on this earth is coming to an end. He thinks Vince would be a good fit for his beloved Callie and entrusts Vince to help her deal with some shocking news that she will receive once he is gone. This news puts Callie's life in danger. I loved it that Vince was there for her to protect her and help her deal with the shocking news.

The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck by Bethany Turner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When I first started reading this book I can't honestly say I loved the book. I liked it but did not love the book but that changed about 60 percent into the book. Characters were well-developed. I loved her best friend Piper, the one who lead her to Christ and the one who was not afraid to speak the truth to her. I liked Ben, her pastor boyfriend. Even after he learned about her past and her career as a smutty romance writer he still accepted her as she was. Of course the smutty romance writing was before she became a Christian. After becoming a Christian she regretted writing things that were not glorifying to God.

The main problem that I had with this book is that only two days after she becomes a Christian and the first time she even attends church it is love at first sight for her and pastor Ben. I don't think baby Christians should jump into relationships so quickly. They need time to grow and mature a little in their Christian walk. Other than the instant love this was a good book.

A Tale of Two Hearts by Michelle Griep
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A tale of Two Hearts is book 2 in the Once Upon a Dickens Christmas. I enjoyed the first book in the series but I think I enjoyed this one better. The characters were delightful. In order to get secure his position of his uncle's heir William got Mina to be his pretend bride. Mina does not like to deceive anyone. I thought they were a delightful couple and were routing for them to get together. William has some good reasons why he wanted to be the heir. Other people wanted that position and were not so honourable. This is an enjoyable Christmas tale that you won't regret reading.

While Sierra's husband and friends are solving a mystery and restoring a theme park (Thrill Squeaker) she's solving a mystery of her own involving a boa constrictor who killed someone. Sierra's intern is accused of neglect. Can Sierra solve the mystery? Unlike the Gabby adventures Sierra's life is never in danger and the mystery is solved without anyone being in danger.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

No dead bodies in this Sierra mystery but some missing reindeer. Sierra meets Chads family. She is determined to find the missing deer. With each book I see Sierra growing.
