A very entertaining story of a big city cop who moves to a small fictional town in East Tennessee and immediately forced to handle a kidnapping case. Only it’s not one kidnapping…it’s seven. Add to this the fact that she and her husband are living a farce of a marriage after his infidelity, and they’re both trying to hold everything together for the sake of their kids.

Diagnosis Death Book Review
Medical mysteries are not normally a genre that I gravitate toward, but I picked this book as a random read on my Kindle, and I’m oh-so-glad I did!

I have long believed that certain books come into our lives at just the right time. The main character, Elena, is experiencing a crisis of faith in this story after the recent death of her husband.

It Happened at the Fair Book Review
If you’ve read Christian historical romance for any length of time, then you KNOW that Deeanne Gist has long been one of the premier voices for this genre. Her characters always ooze authenticity, and the chemistry she creates between her heroes and heroines is second to (almost) no one.

Simply put, I devoured this book. The slow burning romance set my stomach to fluttering more…
