From This Moment On-Debra Clapton-Book Review

My review follows the book/author information

About the book (from the authors website). . .Hurt by her failed marriage and dashed dreams, Cali Sinclair returns home to Windswept Bay with her heart wary and closed to the dreams of true love she so desperately wanted. Determined to never again risk her heart, she throws herself into running the family’s small boutique resort on the Florida coast, a place so full of romance that it’s a reminder every day of what she’ll never have. But when renowned artist Grant Ellington shows up to paint a mural on the wall of the resort, she’s swept away by her response to the artist. Suddenly, every time he looks at her, Cali finds it harder than she ever thought possible to keep her heart protected.

Grant Ellington loves his ranch, his horses, and his life as a sought-after artist. But after walking away from a plane crash that killed his best friend and the young pilot, he’s still struggling with survivor’s guilt as he heads to Windswept Bay. Painting a sea life mural at the resort started out as a favor to his neighbor, but one meeting with the beautiful Cali and he feels alive again—and determined to spend time on the moonlit beaches with her in his arms…But, like him, Cali has her own emotional scars—can they learn to trust the love that sparks between them and move forward from this moment on?

About the series (from the authors blog)

And so I’m thrilled to be celebrating the release of my new Windswept Bay series. These books feature the Sinclair family nine brothers and sisters who are all about to encounter love one book at a time on the shores of their beloved family owned  Windswept Bay Resort. Book 1 FROM THIS MOMENT ON and book 2 SOMEWHERE WITH YOU is releasing tomorrow, September 13. And then the connecting short story WITH THIS KISS its a good one that will lead readers into book 4,  FOREVER AND FOREALWAYS is coming in Oct. With  HOLDING OUT FOR LOVE later in the year.

    Mingled in with each romantic story of each of the Sinclair siblings: Cali, Shar, Jillian, Olivia, Cam, Levi, Jake, Max and Trent. There will also be short stories of visitors falling in love at the resort too, adding to this multi-layered sweet but romantic series.

    I’m loving creating this series and being able to bring in elements I myself love, other than my love of spunky Texas heroines and heart-stopping cowboys in my New Horizon Ranch series (which just this month released book 8 AUSTIN) Windswept Bay is a place to highlight my love of Florida coast, sun bronzed day, moonlit nights and all the adventure and romance of this gorgeous area. Since we, as a family, vacation in the Florida Keys every summer and I look forward to it every year this new series was a natural fit for me.

   I hope you’ll pick up copy and get swept away with the romance of Windswept Bay. It’s going to be summer all year long!

  And if you’re looking for a cowboy lookin’ for love grab a copy of AUSTIN-New Horizon Ranch book 8 or one of the other books in this popular fun, heartwarming romantic series.

And I thought. . . Sweet romance.  I don't get the opportunity to read such sweet stories often.  I was glad I stumbled onto this one in the Kobo store.  I read free on my phone.  

I enjoyed this sweet story.  

If your looking for a good clean read check out Debra Clopton. 

This is the second book I have read.  

I think I liked Kiss A Cowboy better. But the Windswept Bay Series promises a great read!

I enjoyed the characters.  The main characters were both easy to like.  I found myself rooting for them and their romance. 

I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series and seeing more of the sisters and brothers.  

I give this book 5 stars.  It is what it says it is.  A good sweet story.   A great read for this genre.

I was not asked by anyone to write this review.

Elise's Journey-Karla Gracey-Book Review

                                

A fun new title and new series from Karla Gracey!  

About the book...provided by the author

Welcome to the majestic mountains, and the small town of Eagle Creek where brave folk are busy making new lives and new connections. The land may be rugged, but it is beautiful and the men and women are determined to make their mark.
Elise Mitchell is no stranger to traveling huge distances to follow her heart, but this time she is making the move to take back control. Tragically widowed and with a young son to look out for, she finds herself beholden to her husband’s family and their grip is chafing. Having come from Scotland, she knows the mountains and the fresh air will be a tonic for her and her son, Bailey, but will the wilds of Montana be far enough away for her to be free of the Mitchell’s clutches?
Tom Greening loves his land, loves his cattle, and loves the single life. But, when his housekeeper decides to take matters into her own hands to find him a bride he finds himself intrigued, and even begins to think he might just be the marrying kind after all. But Tom has a secret, and it has haunted him for too long. Will it ruin everything and take from him the family he never knew he wanted?

And I thought. . .

Delightful.  What a fun story.  Every now and then I want to read a sweet story.  Elise's Journey was 'it'.  

Admittedly it's kind of hard to believe.  But isn't that what a great read is all about?  

After Elise's husband dies unexpectedly she is left completely at 

her 'in laws' mercy.  Although she tries she finally comes to the realization that she is going to 'butt heads' with them over her son Bailey's future.  

While considering her options she runs across the ads for Mail Order Brides and stumbles onto Tom's ad.  

Even though Tom isn't the one that places the ad it takes almost no time for them to decide that they want to pursue a relationship. 

I enjoyed the story.  The interaction between Tom and Elise and Tom's acceptance of Bailey's son is sweet and heart warming.

Tom not only romances Elise but he romances Bailey as well when he buys him a dog. 

Elise's Journey was truly a sweet story that kept me interested from the very beginning.  

It's nice to read a good clean book that has a happy ending.  

Another thing that I think is different in this story and the others I've read by this author is her ability to provide the reader with opportunities to learn more about the time period.  

The author uses words to describe things that I've never heard before but are relevant to the story.  Making this an excellent story for even younger and older readers to build their vocabulary's and learn a little about different time periods while reading a wholesome story. 

I enjoyed reading Book 1 of the series and look for many more installments.   

Another 5 star read for Karla Gracey and Elise's Journey

About (provided by Amazon)
Carolynn Kemp has lost everything. Her entire family is gone, and her life is in turmoil. Her hopes and dreams of making every one of their lives better are dashed and she is tempted to give up and accept the misery that she seems destined for.

Winston Piper is jealous of the happiness his friends have found in recent times, and so he takes the chance that he might find love by mail order too. But his fears are not that he won't find the woman he so desperately craves, he worries that she will not give him the chance to make her happy.

What I Thought...
I've read a few of the installments in this series and I have to say I liked loved this one the best.  I know bad grammar. But this is an honest review. 
I am not sure what it was about this story that I loved so much more than the others except maybe one of the scenes reminded me of one of my favorite movies of all time. Hint Richad Gere.  You have to read the book yourself and see if you can figure out what movie. 

This story was a bit sad in places because Carolyn looses family. 
She isn't sure whether they have perished in a building collapse.  Her hope is that they have moved on to another town for her father to find work.  

Carolyn although she is alone is a strong person.  She is smart and savy and she is a born leader.  When the tenement apartment that her family lives in collapses it is Carolyn that encourages neighbors and towns people to search for survivors.  

Winston is a doctor in the booming town (filled with newlyweds)
of Ruby Springs, Texas (another reason I like the series).
Winston is busy and very financially stable but he is lonely. 

This is a sweet romance with just of hint of suspense and mystery 
involving the disappearance of Carolyn's family. 

I really enjoyed this series and I look forward to additional installments.  

The only negative I have is the installments are too short.  I've wanted more with each one.  

I would definitely buy the collection if it was offered as a set.

The Captive Heart--Michelle Griep-Book Review

About the book...(provided by Christian Book.com)

Escaping a cruel employer, English governess Eleanor Morgan must settle for the only reputable option available to her in the colonies---marriage to a stranger. Meanwhile, woodsman Samuel Heath is a hardened survivor who's determined to find a mother for his daughter. But no upstanding woman wants to marry a murderer. Will Eleanor be the exception? 

Editorial Reviews (provided by Barnes and Noble)“The Captive Heart is filled with heart-tripping action and romantic tension between a half-Cherokee frontiersman and a proper English governess. Quickly engaging, fast-paced, and set on the American frontier, the novel reminded me of The Last of the Mohicans in all the right ways. Well done, Michelle Griep!”

-Julie Klassen, bestselling author

“Bold and captivatingly beautiful, Captive Heart is a book destined for accolades. Fans of the movies The Patriot and Last of the Mohicans have found new characters to love in Samuel and Eleanor. A masterpiece, from first page to last.”
-Elizabeth Ludwig, author of Tide and Tempest

“Reminiscent of the wildness, adventure, and romance of The Last of the Mohicans, Captive Heart sizzles on every page. This is Michelle Griep's best book yet and one that played out before my eyes like an epic movie I kept wanting to watch over and over.”
-MaryLu Tyndall, author of the award-winning Legacy of the King's Pirates

“I am adding Michelle Griep to my list of favorite authors!”
-Laura Frantz, author of The Mistress of Tall Acre

Oh, wow! Not enough praise can be given to Michelle Griep’s The Captive Heart. This riveting, action-packed adventure set on the American frontier will leave you breathless with its beauty and power. By far, my favorite book of the year.
—Margaret Brownley, author of Left at the Altar

And I thought...

The Captive Heart was my introduction to the works of Michelle Griep.  And; to this era of history.  

I found the story interesting.  I was captivated from page 1.

As I continued reading I was drawn looking forward to the ending.  (in a good way)  This was a fast and easy book to read.  The kind I like.   
I enjoy a good romance.  And a good suspense.  

This book is both.  It is suspenseful from the beginning.  

The Captive Heart is a stand alone novel and not part of a series.  I would like to see more of some of the sub characters in the story.  Eleanor's friends traveled from England as indentured servants and ended up in service in the same town.   

I wasn't captivated by the hero Samuel.  Although he had a personality that was intriguing.  He was closed mouthed and secretive.  

Upon meeting Eleanor he was abrupt and demanding forcing her into marriage.  

The author left this reader a bit annoyed as the intricacies of Samuel's past, present and future unravel.   Although he means well Samuel is allusive, mysterious and closed mouthed.  

Eleanor becomes a  strong woman from her experiences.  
She is honest and open and becomes somewhat fragile once she realizes that she has fallen in love with Samuel.  

Although Samuel and Elanor enter into a marriage of convenience they end romantically involved toward the end of the book.     

Overall The Captive Heart was an great read.  A very good story for any audience.  There is no violence or bedroom scenes.

A Bride For Carlton-Karla Gracey-Book Review

                                                        
About the book (provided by Amazon)...
Come along for the ride to meet feisty Boston city girls who know what they want, and rugged Montana men who just need to be loved. It's 1900, and things are changing fast in sleepy Sun River. As the town begins to expand, its inhabitants are getting restless, looking for love and adventure. 

Why would an accomplished governess respond to an advertisement in the Matrimonial Times? Myra Gilbert had never considered such a thing, but something has awoken within her and she is determined to take her chance on love.

Carlton Green claimed his lands, and now has the deeds in his grasp. But something is missing in his life. Will his quest to find love fill that hole, or is there something from his past that could change everything and leave him with nothing?

And I thought...
I was looking for something to read on my computer and stumbled onto this title.
I wasn't sure how I would like it.  I'm not really a fan of historical romances.  Or thought I wasn't!
I am now and a fan Karla Gracey!  I'll be checking out additional titles from this series for sure.

This was a fun and quick read for me.  I started it and couldn't stop.  Stayed up way too late but I was intrigued with the story and the characters.

The story line wasn't what I expected.  The typical guy meets girl.  Guy wants/gets girl.  Then trauma, or tragedy or an x comes in and causes trouble.  They split then get back together at the end and all is well.  Happily ever after.  The end.

This story wasn't like that.  There was sweet romance.  Via letters.  Till Carlton shows up in Boston  to meet Myra the girl who answered his ad for a Mail Order Bride.    A quick romance that began  through their letters quickly takes the next step to a wedding.

But before they can wed unexpected trouble arises.  Carlton has to face his past and figure out a way to move forward.  And tell Myra about his past.

I enjoyed the story.  And I enjoyed that there weren't a lot of characters.  And a lot of twists and turns and sub stories involved.  I think this is what made it such a fast read for me.   Trying to count
I don't believe there a more than a dozen characters total.  And some are never even introduced in the book.  (The family Myra works for as a governess is out of town.)

A Bride For Carlton is Book #1 in the Sun River Brides Series.  I look forward to reading more books in this series.

I read this book on my computer using the Kindle Cloud app.  I was not offered this book 
by anyone and was not asked to write a review.  

This review will appear on my blog My Journey Back The Journey Back and on consumer sites including Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Good Reads.

No Way Up-Mary Connealy-Book Review

About the book (provided by Bethany House)

The Fight for the Cimarron Ranch Has Just Begun!
When Cimarron Ranch patriarch Chance Boden is caught in an avalanche, only the quick actions of hired hand Heath Kincaid save him. Before leaving by train to receive treatment to save his leg--and possibly his life--Chance demands that Heath read the patriarch's will and see its conditions enforced immediately. If Chance's three bickering adult children, Justin, Sadie, and Cole, don't live and work at the ranch for an entire year, ownership of the ranch will pass to a despised distant relative. 

Before long, however, Heath discovers that the avalanche may have been intentionally set--and that more danger lurks ominously. Finding his own future--and a desired future with Sadie--locked up in saving the Cimarron Ranch, Heath and the Boden siblings must work together against outside forces that threaten them all.

About the author ...

She is the author of the popular series Wild at Heart, Kincaid Brides, Trouble in Texas, Lassoed in Texas, Sophie's Daughters, and many other books. Mary lives on a ranch in eastern Nebraska with her very own romantic cowboy hero. Learn more at www.maryconnealy.com.

And I thought ...

A fun little summer read.  Give me a Cowboy and I'm happy.   I couldn't happier  No Way Up is full of Cowboy's!  

It was an easy fast read.  The story only takes place in a few days but it is filled with tension as the Brode family fights no only for their ranch but to stay alive!  There is suspense in the air as some unknown villain try's to 'take them out'.  

There was a little sibling squabbling going on as Sadie annoys her brothers when she starts becoming interested in ranch hand Heath. 

The humor comes out in the story as each of the siblings 'fire' Heath for one reason or another.  Mostly for getting caught kissing the irresistible Sadie.  

I enjoyed the sub story line about Angelique who comes to town to work at the orphanage when Sadie has to leave her position to 'help at home'

I'm a little curious if Book 2 will offer us a little romance with the new in town Angelique and one of the brothers.  

No Way Up (Kind of a strange title to me which is explained within just a few pages) is book 1 of the Cimmarron Legacy. 

I look forward to Book 2.  

No Way Up was a good summer read appropriate for all audiences.

About the book (provided by Litfuse)...

Fetching Sweetness (Harvest House, July 2016)

Standing between Stephanie and her dream is one hundred pounds of lovable trouble.

It should have been so simple for Stephanie Pink: Meet up with Agnes Wharton in a small town in California, retrieve the reclusive author’s valuable new manuscript, and be promoted to a full-fledged literary agent.

But Agnes’s canine companion, Sweetness, decides to make a break for it before Stephanie can claim her prize. Until Agnes has Sweetness safely back at home in Eagle Cliff, Washington, Stephanie will never set eyes on the manuscript she needs to make her dreams come true.

When Stephanie tracks the runaway mutt to a campground, she meets Rhett Hastings—a man also on the run from a different life and a costly mistake. Rhett agrees to help Stephanie search for the missing dog…thus launching a surprising string of adventures and misadventures.

Once Sweetness gets added to the mix, it’s a recipe for love and loss, merriment and mayhem, fun and faith in the backwoods of the Pacific Northwest.

About the author...

Find out more about Dana at http://www.danamentink.com.

And I thought...Another winner!  I loved the fun and 

quirky story and characters.  This is my second chance

to read the work of Dana Mentink. This is the second book in the Love Unleashed Series.  I am looking forward to many more.  

This story is creatively written and just fun.  I read it in a couple of days because I couldn't put it down.   

I caught myself reading funny sections to the Cowboy. I caught myself giggling.  

The main character 'Sweetness' was a mix of quirkyness, goofiness and tender hearted.  Who had a habit of collecting other strays.  'Sweetness' captured the hearts of the 'people' characters in the book and this reader. 

Miss Mentink weaves together a fun and sweet romantic story around the crazy lives of a young couple that are both facing challenging things in their lives.  Each are dealing with their own questions about God and their faith.  

Fetching Sweetness is worthy of my 5 star rating.

A Beauty Refined--Tracie Peterson--Book Review

About the book (provided by Litfuse)...

What does it take to reveal the true beauty of a hidden gem?

Phoebe Von Bergen, the daughter of a German count, is excited to visit America for the first time while her father purchases sapphires in Helena, Montana. Little does she know, however, that her father’s intentions—both for her and the gemstones—are not what she thinks.

Ian Harper, a lapidary working in Helena, finds the dignified young woman staying at the Broadwater Hotel more than a little intriguing. Yet the more he gets to know her, the more he realizes that her family story is based on a lie–a lie she has no knowledge of. And Ian believes he knows the only path that will lead her to freedom.

Meeting Ian has changed everything for Phoebe, and she begins to consider staying in America, regardless of her father’s plans. But she may not be prepared for the unexpected danger that results when her family’s deception begins to unravel.

About the author:

Tracie Peterson is the bestselling, award-winning author of more than one hundred books. Tracie also teaches writing workshops at a variety of conferences on subjects such as inspirational romance and historical research. She and her family live in Montana.                                                                                 Website | Facebook | Pinterest And I thought . . .  I truly can't say enough good things about this book.   To tell you the truth I haven't recently been too interested in Historical novels.  I began my adult reading career reading Historical Romance.  And then I found contemporary. I was hooked.  And then I found Contemporary Suspense.  But because of Tracie Peterson's worked I am now a fan of Historical Romance again.   And now a fan of Tracie Peterson.      A Beauty Refined is book 2 in the series.   I look forward to reading more in this series. The story was interesting from page one.  I have to admit I expected a boy meets girl romance.  Followed by events that separate them.  And then the two getting together in for a happy ending.   I was very wrong.   And that was refreshing.            There is a Happy Ending  The romance is only part of the story.  The storyline as described above is about the challenges Phoebe faces once she learns about lies and deceptions in her family.   The story also has a bit of intrigue. There's some plotting, double-dealing, and  underhandness in more than one character.  These aspects of the story make it not a typical romance.   And I liked that. A Beauty Refined is worthy of my 5 star rating.  I wish to thank Litfuse for allowing me the opportunity to read this book.  I received a complimentary copy in exchange for my honest review.  A huge thanks Tracie Peterson for  re-introducing me to Historical fiction.  This review is posted at  MyJourneyback-thejourneyback.blogspot.com At at the following link parties: The Art of Homemaking, Share Your Cup,  Create With Joy This review is posted at the follow retailers Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and CBC.

The Captain Takes a Wife--Doris Durbin--Book Review

                                                       
Starting with the stars! 5 of them . . . 

Honestly I wasn't sure I would get through this book or even like it!
(I'm not so much a fan of Historical Romances and I was reading on my phone) 
I was sooooooo wrong!  I ran the battery down.  Plugged the silly thing in by an uncomfortable chair.  Was late cooking dinner, missed taking out the trash ....You get the picture.  Right?

Here's what it is about . . . (provided by BookLook)

Sarah Franklin, a young teacher escaping an arranged marriage to a corrupt man, runs straight into the arms of Captain Harry Richardson as he prepares to board a train leaving Macon, Georgia, in 1875. She begs him to help her, and the captain soon finds himself in the midst of a ruse to hide her identity from her pursuers. When he impulsively kisses her in front of his amazed friends and some curious newspaper reporters, everything changes, and events soon spiral out of control.

Harry is a handsome man who carries his Bible and sidearm in a worn, leather valise. He fought on the side of the Confederacy until he was captured at Missionary Ridge; he spent time in a northern prison, but was released when he agreed to go west and fight the Indians with the U.S. Cavalry. Now that the war is over and he has earned his theology degree, Harry is looking forward to a new beginning as a circuit-riding preacher in the North Georgia mountains. But first, he must survive the train trip, protecting a woman he barely knows and putting his life in jeopardy to battle a determined band of hired gunmen.

In this inspirational historical tale, a soldier-turned-minister learns that even if you’re starting a new life, there are some things you can’t leave behind.

And I thought . . . probably the best book I've read all year. and it was on my phone!)  There was drama, suspense, murder and mystery.  

And romance.  A bunch of romance at least 3 little romances develop between the pages. (Book 2 please!) 

There were a lot of characters. A few (band mates of The Captain) took me awhile to keep them straight.  And there were more villains than I could count.  But all in all it made for a great story.

The chapters were pretty long.  I had to pace myself.  I hate to stop reading in the middle of a chapter.  I just took my phone with me!

To me the story was fast paced.  Actually the entire story covers only a few days. 

The story seemed authentic to me.  The details of the period seemed to work and the author wove a pleasantly heart warming story in the middle of mayhem!  

I am looking forward to reading more in this series.  

Congratulations Miss Durbin (it's her first book) visit the authors website. Click here. 

 The Captain Takes a Wife is a 5 star keeper.

There were no 'real' bedroom scenes, no language, No Alcohol (the Captain is not a drinker) and although there is murder and mayhem it is handled in a way that is entertaining and not graphic.
