The One Rule Is, Don’t Mess With The Past

But he did, and now ex-detective Rembrandt Stone is reaping the devastation of ignoring those words when he traveled back in time to solve the one case that had haunted his dreams.

Yes, he solved the crime. Yes, he saved lives. But Rembrandt returns to find the unthinkable has happened and his life has shattered.

There’s only one answer: break the rule again. Go back in time once more, fix what went wrong, save what went right, and yeah, in his spare time solve another brutal crime.

But it’s not so easy to change time, especially when time turns you into a target. And of course there’s the strong possibility if he goes again, he’ll never get back.

Get ready for your mind to be blown in Book 2 of the time-travel suspense series, The True Lies of Rembrandt Stone.

MY REVIEW

Book 1 ended with such a cliff hanger that I was counting down the weeks before I could read book 2. I highly recommend you read these books in order! There will be 6 total books in this time travel suspense series.

At the end of book 1 Detective Stone has returned to his present time, only to find out that  tragedy has touched his family and his life in ways he never imagined. Little did he know that changing the past would alter his future in that way.

The Detective is constantly haunted by cold cases and what he wished he could change; as well as his new regrets with changing the past which then changed this present life. He also struggles as to why his co worker gave him the time travel watch, which we find out more later in the story.  I really liked the Detective and also getting to know his wife Eve more in this second story.

I don’t typically read time travel books but because one of my favorite authors-Susan May Warren helped write these books-I know I needed to at least try them. I was hooked from the very beginning and can’t wait to continue reading this clean, suspenseful series! You won’t regret reading it!

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

MY REVIEW

I love reading a variety of Love Inspired Suspense books and have for years. I don’t typically read Amish fiction but decided to give this one a try.

I liked the main characters Faith and Eli, but I didn’t find the plot suspenseful or really even believable. For example, Faith is running from her brother in law who is a police officer and who has killed others; but yet she manages to escape him time after time even though she isn’t hiding very well or even protecting herself. It did not seem realistic to me at all.

Because of this I had a hard time getting into the story and enjoying it.

If you have read other books by this author or other Amish books, than you may like this even though I didn’t care for it.

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

“The Indebted Earl” by Erica Vetsch GIVEAWAY

The Indebted Earl JustRead Takeover Tour

Welcome to the Takeover Tour for The Indebted Earl by Erica Vetsch, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

ABOUT THE BOOK

The Indebted Earl

Title: The Indebted Earl
Series: Serendipity & Secrets #3
Author: Erica Vetsch
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: March 23, 2021
Genre: Christian Regency Romance

Can Captain Wyvern keep his new marriage of convenience all business–or will it turn into something more?

Captain Charles Wyvern owes a great debt to the man who saved his life–especially since Major Richardson lost his own life in the process. The best way to honor that hero’s dying wish is for Wyvern to escort the man’s grieving fiance and mother safely to a new cottage home by the sea. But along the way, he learns of another obligation that has fallen on his shoulders: his uncle has died and the captain is now the Earl of Rothwell.

When he and the ladies arrive at his new manor house in Devon, they discover an estate in need of a leader and a gaggle of girls, all wards of the former earl. War the new earl knows; young ladies and properties he does not. Still wishing to provide for the bereaved Lady Sophia Haverly, Charles proposes a marriage of convenience.

Sophie is surprised to find she isn’t opposed to the idea. It will help her care for her betrothed’s elderly mother, and she’s already fallen in love with the wayward girls on the Rothwell estate. This alliance is a chance to repay the captain who has done so much for her care, as well as divert her attention from her grief. When Wyvern returns to his sea commission, she’ll stay behind to oversee his property and wards.

It sounds so simple. Until the stalwart captain is arrested on suspicion of smuggling, and Sophie realizes how much he’s come to mean to her. Now she’ll have to learn to fight, not only for his freedom but also for his love.

Their Family Arrangement (Love Inspired) by Angel Moore


Their Family Arrangement (Love Inspired) by Angel Moore

This was such a sweet story about the importance of family and commitment. Sophie and Kevin were great providers to the children and worked well together as a team. Throughout the story there were tears and laughs as the little family figured out their daily routine just weeks after the death of their friends – the children’s parents.

I felt like the author did a great job with dealing with the loss of a loved one and the grief and confusion that children deal with. Along with trying to maintain balance with adjusting to a new family dynamic. I liked reading about the strong friendship between Sophie and Kevin and as readers we get a glimpse from the past regarding their brief romance gone bad and why they remained friends instead.

This was my first time reading a book by this author and I really enjoyed this clean romance and can’t wait to read more books by her!

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

About the Book:
How far will they go to keep their promise?

They reunited for the children…

Will they stay for each other?

Sophie Owens and Kevin Lane failed at love a long time ago, but when tragedy makes them guardians of their best friends’ children, they become coparents overnight. Both will do anything for the kids they promised to care for. But when a judge demands they must marry to keep them, a temporary engagement is their only option—causing old flames of lost love to flicker…

From Harlequin Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.

Angel Moore fell in love with romance in elementary school when she read the story of Robin Hood and Maid Marian. Inspired by her husband, who taught her everything she knows about living happily ever after, Angel writes stories of faith and a hope she knows is real because of God’s goodness to her. When not writing, she’s probably reading a book or watching way too much television. After all, every love story is research, right? Find her at www.angelmoorebooks.com.
