“A Guarded Heart” by Heidi Kimball REVIEW and GIVEAWAY


“A Guarded Heart” by Heidi Kimball

This regency romance had great characters and a good steady plot. At first I was confused because the chapters alternated between 1813 and 1816, but it helped readers understand the misunderstanding and relationship between Edmund and Eleanor.

I enjoyed reading about the time period romances, society expectations, and relationships. Eleanor Hayward was a great character-strong and loyal-regardless of society and people shunning her. Quick read, would recommend!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

About the Book:
Three years after a shocking scandal destroyed her family and forced her into isolation, Eleanor Hayward finally has an opportunity to put her painful history and dashed hopes behind her. But reentering society is no simple task. In her cousin’s glittering ballroom, Eleanor is stunned when she comes face-to-face with the man who broke her heart those years before.
Edmund Fletcher thought he had laid the past to rest until he unexpectedly encounters the woman who so nearly became his wife. Soon to be engaged to another, Edmund knows he must let go of the complicated feelings he harbors for Eleanor. However, when the Hayward scandal resurfaces and the truth behind their parting is revealed, Eleanor and Edmund are left reeling. Tormented by thoughts of what could have been, they realize it is impossible to rewrite history. But is there a future in which they might both find happiness—and true love?

“CARRYING THE GREEK TYCOON’S BABY” by Jennifer Faye *review and giveaway*

MY REVIEW OF THE BOOK:
Fun, easy to read, romantic story. This story had great characters and I loved that the setting of the book was in Greece on a little island.

I liked the main characters Xander and Lea. I liked Lea’s personality, love for the Island and her passion with being a wedding & honeymoon destination location. Xander was a strong, sexy character who wasn’t afraid to work hard and prove his love and determination to Lea and the Island, even after she rejected him.

This story is book 1 in the Greek Island Brides series.

I took a chance that this Harlequin Romance would be fairly “clean” since I typically only read clean fiction or christian fiction. Sex was implied a couple of times, but there were no explicit or graphic scenes or bad language. I really enjoyed reading it!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

“Never Let Go” by Elizabeth Goddard blog tour & Giveaway!

MY REVIEW:

This story was riveting and kept my interest from beginning to end! I loved the main characters Willow and Austin as they worked together to figure out what happened to Willow‘s grandfather and a cold case regarding a missing baby 20 years prior. Lots of twists and surprises!

Lots of action and some romance. I liked reading about their faith, their struggles and how they tried to reconcile with family. I highly recommend this first book of this new series!

I can’t wait to read book 2 which will be all about Heath, Austin’s brother, who is a secondary character in this story.

COVER REVEAL for “Always Look Twice” by Elizabeth Goddard #alwayslooktwice #uncommonjustice

Cover reveal time!

Check out “ALWAYS LOOK TWICE” by Elizabeth Goddard-Uncommon Justice #2, romantic suspense from Revell Books. To be released October 1st!

About the Book:
At the advice of her therapist, homicide survivor Harper Reynolds has traded her job as a crime scene photographer for a more peaceful life taking photographs of the natural world. But her hopes for a life surrounded by the serenity of the outdoors are dashed when she inadvertently captures a murder being committed in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. She flees the scene in fear–and loses the camera.

Former Green Beret Heath McKade is a reserve deputy in an understaffed county who has been called in to protect Harper, a childhood friend he is surprised to see back in the area. When Harper learns that the sheriff’s department can’t find any evidence of the murder she witnessed, she is determined to do what she can to see that justice is done. What neither Harper nor Heath could know is how many explosive secrets from the past will be exposed–or how deeply they will fall for each other.

In this suspenseful page-turner, bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard keeps you on the edge of your seat as you discover that uncommon justice lies just on the other side of fear.
