MY REVIEW

This story was a thrilling suspense with unanswered questions and danger around every corner. The main character Eve has had grief in her short life as both her dad and brother end up murdered with no answers as to why. When she comes home to attend her brothers funeral Eve becomes targeted, so she teams up with her old friend Assistant Police Chief Casey to figure out why and how her brothers death is related.

Twists and danger around every corner as Eve and Casey try to protect her remaining family and unearth secrets that have been hidden for years. Who can they trust? I really enjoyed reading this clean, Love Inspired Suspense Amish fiction!

MY REVIEW

Cold Case Arson is book 4 in the Forest Ranger Rescuers series, but they can all be read as standalone stories.

From the very first chapter this story jumps into clean suspense and danger on every page until the end. I liked getting to know main characters Fire Marshall Autumn and her old boyfriend Fire Ranger Clay. When they start working a fire together, they realize its similar to the tragic fire from years ago from an arsonist that tore them apart.

This story is about second chances, love and forgiveness. I loved reading this thrilling, clean, love inspired suspense book! You don’t want to miss reading this book and the other ones from this dramatic series!

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for The Heartfelt Formula by Leslie Kirby DeVooght, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: The Heartfelt Formula
Author: Leslie Kirby DeVooght
Publisher: Lanier Price Publishing
Release Date: October 22, 2026
Genre: Contemporary Romance/Women’s Fiction/Romantic Comedy

After another breakup, Atlanta attorney Hope Elliot decides to stop waiting for her happily-ever-after and write it herself. Inspired by her beloved Christmas romance movies, Hope crafts The Heartfelt Formula: a foolproof plan including snowball fights, cookie baking, and a perfectly timed first kiss.

Trading the big city for coastal Georgia, Hope sets out to find her small-town soulmate. But the actors in her carefully plotted scenes keep shuffling—especially when Brennan Taylor, her ambitious co-counsel continues to fill in for Cole Walker, the carefree furniture maker, who Hope cast as her hero.

Between courtroom drama, a mismatched leading man, and a mistletoe mishap, Hope must decide if she’ll trust her formula or accept a plot twist that might leave her all alone, or perhaps, with the happiest ending of all.

A faith-filled romantic comedy for anyone who believes love, like Christmas, can still surprise you.

MY REVIEW

Hope is obsessed with happily ever after holiday romance movies and wants her life to be the same. After having another bad experience in the romance department, she comes up with the perfect “Heartfelt Formula” to meet a guy and fall in love just like the movies. Hope reunites with her Attorney friend Brennan at her stepdad’s firm and he reluctantly helps her with her formula for love.

This was a cute story with lots of laughs and great characters! I felt like Hope was overly dramatic at times, but I had to remember that she’s in her early 30s and didn’t have much life experience. I liked that this story included elements of faith with trusting God for the future and not trying to control every aspect of our lives. Although Hope was flawed in her romance thinking, she was very passionate about helping clients especially those who are too poor to help themselves. This was a clean holiday romance, fun to read!

Nowhere to Hide: Marshals of Montana by Kathi Oram Peterson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great, steady pace suspense with clean romance!

I enjoyed getting to know Deputy Marshal Olivia and her witness Dustin who is placed in U.S. Marshal protection after witnessing the death of his brother by the mob. Lots of twists around the holiday season as they try to stay alive wondering who can help them and why their location keeps being compromised. The holiday setting and blizzard conditions made for a good story along with character dynamics.

I enjoyed this Marshals of Montana story and recommend it if you like on the edge of your seat, clean suspense! I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.

Defending the Innocent Target by Carol J. Post
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved reading this book which is book 5 in the Canine Defense series. Easy to read with lots of suspense and drama. I loved the K-9 dog elements in this story.

Brandi inherits a home in New Orleans, Louisiana from a grandmother she never knew existed. She travels to the tiny community of Belle Chasse along the Mississippi River where she meets her neighbor Isaac and his canine dog Dakota.

After several attempts on her life, she begins to question whether her Florida stalker Ricky has found her or if it’s related to her grandmother and inheritance of the house.

Clean suspense and great storyline and characters. I can’t wait to read book 6 in the canine defense series about Brandee‘s brother Bryson.
