“An Alaskan Blessing” by Belle Calhoune

I really enjoyed reading this sweet Serenity Peak story!

I liked getting to know Skye, Abel, Violet, Lula, and Ryan in this clean uplifting story about love, family and second chances. I thought Skye was so brave to open up her heart and home to baby Lula knowing it was only temporary! This story had great characters and an easy to read engaging story line. I have read other books by this author and have really enjoyed them.

Highly recommend reading this Serenity Peak book 2, which can be read as a stand alone story.

“Target Acquired” by Lynette Eason

WOW this story was intense! I loved getting to know SWAT members Kenzie, Cole and the other team members in this Lake City Heroes book.

Kenzie is a strong, fierce woman who felt like she had to constantly prove her worth on the almost all male SWAT team. Kenzie, Cole and the team fight to work together to keep themselves alive as time and time again they come face to face with danger and almost death. It was really interesting to read about Cole’s grandmother Eliza and her experiences in the mental state hospital in the mid 1940s; and how it tied back into present day.

Lots of twists, danger, heartache and revenge. I absolutely loved this clean, Christian fiction book.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions and views expressed are my own.

About the Book:
Tough-as-nails Kenzie King has finally earned her place as a tactical medic on a SWAT team. But not everyone on the all-male team accepts her. Rumor is, she didn’t get the position because of what she could do but because of who she knew. Which means she has to work harder and longer than anyone else to prove herself.

Cole Garrison is a man with deep faith who is finally ready to settle down and build a family of his own–if he can find the right person, that is. Kenzie sure has set off his interest meter, but trouble seems to follow in her wake. Since she joined the team, someone has begun to ambush and pick off team members, one by one.

It’s all hands on deck to discover the culprit and end the killing. Can Kenzie and Cole put aside their differences and work together as a team? Or will their budding attraction be snuffed out by a sniper’s bullet?

As you’ve come to expect from bestselling author Lynette Eason’s stories, this tightly wound plot unfurls at breakneck speed and will leave you breathless.
