Author: Jerusha Agen

She always follows the rules. But what are the rules for murder?

Victoria Weston encounters tough things as a home health physical therapist, but this is a first—a dead body. The police call the patient’s death accidental. Victoria knows that can’t be true. Her efforts to convince the police they’re dealing with a murder get her labeled a troublemaker by all but one man—the troubler of her youth.

When Cillian Doherty returns to right the wrongs of the past, he finds his high school flame in a different kind of danger than he expected. As a social worker, he’s in the perfect position to corroborate her cry of murder or give her what she wanted—to handle her problems without his help.

But someone wants to silence Victoria. When lies escalate to violence and threaten more lives, the Weston siblings join the battle to save their sister.

Yet it will take a God more powerful than all of them for Cillian and Victoria to make peace with their past and catch the killer. Before the killer catches them.

Wasted continues the thrilling Windy City Westons series that features five siblings who encounter danger, love, and God in the city of Chicago. (Each book can stand alone or be read as series installments.)

About the book:

Could just friends…Turn into something more?

With its twinkling lights, evergreen wreaths and freshly fallen snow, small-town Medina, Ohio, is bursting with holiday charm. And accountant Chloe Winner has everything in order, including a successful business and a warm community at the Loaves of Love food bank. But she has one tiny problem—her inconvenient feelings for fellow volunteer Jamison Smith. After all, the easygoing park ranger is her complete opposite. Plus, she’s dating his best friend, who is a much better match…isn’t he? Something about kind, thoughtful Jamison is making Chloe’s season so much brighter. Could falling in love find a place on her Christmas to-do list?

My Review:

This was such a wonderful, feel good “A Matchmaker Knows Best” story!

I liked getting to know the main characters Jamison, Adam, Chloe and her niece Madison; as they navigate life, love and friendships. Chloe who is a busy accountant, spends her free time volunteering at Loaves of Love and with her niece who is a senior in high school.  Both are trying to figure out a good balance between love and family.

I loved that matchmaker Edna from Loaves of Love is back in this story, along with Sean and Kayla. I loved reading this sweet, holiday, clean romantic story and can’t wait to read her next matchmaker book next spring.

My Review:

This Amish Love Inspired Suspense story had lots of twist and clean suspense that kept my interest from beginning to end.

Amish schoolteacher Hannah has no recollection of her life years prior to her buggy accident. When she gets attacked and memories start coming back, she realizes her life and family may not be what she thought.

I loved getting to know Hannah and CIA agent Titus. As they run from danger at every turn, Hannah discovers who she really is and she wants for her the future. I highly recommend this page turner, clean suspense. I loved it!

About the Book:

The key to her survival lies hidden within her memories.

When Amish school teacher Hannah York is attacked, she defends herself with skills she never knew she had. CIA agent Titus Miller arrives, claiming that she’s actually fellow agent Lara Redmond—and that she’s in danger from a powerful enemy. Despite suffering from amnesia, Hannah is certain she’s only ever lived a quiet Amish life. But why does Titus seem so familiar, and could it be true that he loved her once? When Hannah’s family is abducted, she and Titus must work together to find them. Can Hannah trust him to help unlock the truth of her past…and keep her safe?
