The Active Defense by Lynette Easton

This is not the first book I've read of Lynette Easton. Active Defense is the last book in the Danger Never Sleeps series. I haven't got around to read book one or two, but I feel that Active Defense is a stand alone.  If you like a good suspense book, this will not let you down. it was a great page-turner and I love the characters especially the romance between Heather and Travis

Rating - I rate this book 5 out of 5 star's

Recommend - I will highly recommend to family, friends and others through Netgally, Amazon, my blog, book bud, Goodreads and Barnes and Noble.

Disclaimer - I received this complementary copy of the book from Revell and was under no obligation to write a positive review.

What you said to me by Olivia Newport

 "What you said to me" is a great addition to the " Tree of Life" series. I hate that this is the final book. All the four books in this series are stand alone, but I enjoy reading them in order. Olivia Newport did a amazing job at intertwining the main characters with the new characters to make one great story.

Synopsis - When 15year old Trisha Crowder gets caught shop lifting. Nolan Duffy is an a attorney whom tries to protect Trisha from her very troubled life. He thought it would help her to spend time with his daughter Jillian. Jillian is a genealogist who is falling behind in her of her genealogy file. During this time, they found out that everyone knows about the Crowder family and their brokenness. Jillian walks Trisha back to 1893 and see where all went wrong.

My thoughts - What a page-turner full of suspense. Olivia Newport has written a great book. The fact that these books are based around genealogy I just love them.  To learn about a person  is like a puzzle.  You start with one person and it spreads out to others. The story went from present to past, which was sometimes hard to follow. Trisha will learn how the past can affect the present.

Rating - I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars

To Dwell Among Cedars by Connilyn Cossette

 I have to say if you are looking for a historical, Christian book "To Dwell Among Cedars" by Connilyn Cossette is the book for you. This is one amazing book.

Synopsis - Eight years ago, after the Philistine surrendered the stolen Ark of the Covenant back to the Israelites. Eliora and her little brother decided to leave their Philistine home and followed the Ark to Kiryat-Yearim. They were taken in by a loving Levine family. A faction of Hebrews found that Kiryat-Yearim was a unfit place for the Ark and so did a Levine musician, whom was sent to get close to Eldora to find the location of the Ark. To do so Ronen has to charm Eldora

My Thoughts - To Dwell Among Cedars is such a well written book with adventure, faith and learning about yourself. The author made story come to life through the great research and her imagination. The story was a great page-turner! The characters are likeable and well intertwined into the story. This book touched me through laughter and some tears. I'm looking forward to the next book in the "Covenant House" series.

All we left behind by Danielle Graham

This is the first book I've read by Danielle Graham.  It was a likeable book and characters.  This was a book for everyone, romance, suspense and history.  There are areas that you question why, others makes you cry, and some areas of confusion.  The story was a very slow at the beginning but picked up after a while.

Recommend - I would still recommend this even though it wasn't for me.

"The Key to Love" by Betsy St. Ament

 This is a author I've never read before. Betsy St. Ament book "The Key to Love" is  excellent book and I will like to read more of hers.  The book has adventure, romance and is funny in several areas. The Key to Love is well written and the characters are likable. I fell in love Bri and her desire to have a romance like her parents and Gerards desire to never get married.  The ups and downs relationship is very sweet. The book is such a great book that Hallmark needs to read it.

I will gladly recommend this book to friends, family and other's through Facebook, Barnes and Noble, Netgally, Book bud, Goodreads and Amazon.
