Now, instead of enjoying her rise to literary fame, she’s thrust into the dangerous world of treasure hunting.

While Kelly struggles to win the game of cat-and-mouse, a secret family legacy is unearthed, forcing her to choose between trusting her charming literary agent or her vigilant bodyguard to keep her safe.

My Thoughts:

Secrets abound in this mystery thriller, especially when author Kelly Landon writes a best seller. Not even her usual work, this is a memoir that an older gentleman handpicked her for to tell the love story of his parents and their life's mission of saving children during WW2. Encouraged by her agent, she accepts this work only to find out later how dangerous it was to write it. But why?

We along with Kelly are thrown into this mysterious plot that has now become her life. Hidden treasure, romance, and faith all collide as Kelly is trying to stay one step ahead of a shadowy evil that seems to lurk ever closer to her. Raised by a father who trusted no one, now Kelly is beginning to understand why. But she can't do all of this one her own.

Kelly is torn between her agent and a bodyguard who is very protective of her. Who can she trust when it seems that everyone is trying to get the one thing she promised never to reveal. This was a very intriguing mystery that began decades ago and now Kelly is at the center of it. Looking forward to more from this author.

More from Christina

There is a certain in-between place where creatives tend to linger — a space where reality meets imagination and stories quietly begin. It’s where we observe the world as it is, then wonder how it might unfold just a little differently. That space is where my writing lives, and it’s where Best Seller was born.

Before novels, though, there was coffee. My very first “real” job as a teen was working as a barista, and I loved it. I wasn’t just making drinks — I was mixing flavors and letting my imagination wander between orders. There’s something comforting about coffee, something that invites reflection and creativity. Looking back, it makes perfect sense that it found its way into my stories.

In Best Seller, my main character Kelly Landon is a crime fiction writer with a carefully guarded heart. She’s shy, introverted, and far more comfortable with quiet moments than crowded rooms. Her love of seasonal coffee blends mirrors her inner world — thoughtful, layered, and hopeful beneath the surface. But Kelly’s heart is fragile, and without being anchored in God’s love and truth, it can be easily swayed by the promise of earthly acceptance.

Enter Declan — her outgoing literary agent with unassuming Irish charm and a way with words. Can you blame Kelly for daydreaming? For wondering if love might be possible after all?

To celebrate Best Seller, I created the Writer Girl Latte, inspired by my barista days and Kelly’s story. Cozy, creative, sweet, and just a little indulgent — because sometimes the best stories begin with a warm cup and a willing heart.

So, pour yourself something warm, settle in, and step into the mystery of Best Seller — it’s only the beginning.

And remember, Love is a Mystery!

My Thoughts:
 

This is a story of second chances after what seems like a lifetime ago. Sarah and Pete were best friends while growing up and fell in love, ran away and got married too young, all for their whirlwind romance to end in an annulment and heartbreak. Pete didn't want to live in a small town and Sarah didn't want to leave.

Several years later, Sarah is now a widow with a young daughter, helping a friend with wedding preparations. A wedding that will bring her ex, Pete back home and into her life. There is a lot of feelings and unsaid things that is between them. The love is still there, but pain is there also.

A lot has changed since they have seen each other. Not their love nor the fact that they both have the same dreams, he wants out of small town and she wants to stay. Given this new opportunity and that both have matured, can they make a second chance work?

This was a heartfelt romance of two people in love with one another, given another opportunity to make their love and lives work with one another. I appreciated their growth and maturity as they viewed the circumstances, not as teens anymore, but adults. I liked that their romance was based on mutual respect.

My Thoughts and More on Resurrection Rest by Courtney Lyman

 

About the Book

Book: Resurrection Rest

Author: Courtney Lyman

Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance

Release Date: April 18, 2018

Gerard Truman frantically arrived at Holliday Hotel in need of a place to stay that was near the clinic in Willow Creek. His sister, Stacie, was ill and the prognosis didn’t look good. Carol Holliday immediately welcomed Gerard and placed him in the room she called Resurrection Rest. Dr. Eva Livingston was an intelligent, driven doctor. Direct, serious, and lacking compassion, she was not known for her bedside manner. Seeing no hope for Stacie, she urges Gerard to say his good-byes and remove his sister from life-support. As she battles Gerard, Eva is forced to take a look at herself and reevaluate how she is faring as a doctor. His faith shakes her and even as she is frustrated by his determination, she finds herself drawn to him as well. But it will take a miracle for this arrogant doctor to change.

My Thoughts:

In this story Gerard Truman finds himself at odds with the two most important people in his life. First off, he heads off to be with his sister who has gone septic and is on life support. He can hardly believe this whirlwind catastrophe and her doctor suggests he let her go. That is something he won't do. So grounded by his faith, he prays for a miracle.

Dr. Eva Livingston does not see any hope for Stacie's survival. As a doctor, she has done everything she can do for her. Her brother, however, believes in God and won't let her go. Will Eva see a miracle happen? Because of Gerard and Stacie, Eva soon realizes that there may be a God out there who really cares for her.

Fast forward sometime and Gerard and Eva are falling in love, but there is someone standing in their way. Someone who Gerard loves very much and whom Eva will bow out for if they cannot have an understanding. Will Gerard and Eva have enough faith that their love will survive?

To me this was like two different stories, with the same characters. The before and after of Eva's awakening faith. This was heartfelt journey of family, love, and faith and how important each are and where they belong in their rightful places.

I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

More from Courtney

Easter is my favorite holiday because it celebrates the hope, restoration, and new life that Christians have in Jesus. It remembers Jesus’s death as the sacrifice that saved us, but also the power of the resurrection which gives us the hope of eternal life with Him. I can’t think of a better message to share with others.

When I began to write the Holliday Hotel series, I wanted to show how God is visible in all of the celebrations that we observe, and Resurrection Rest holds a special place as a celebration of God’s salvation for all people.

In today’s world, it can feel like God doesn’t still work miracles as medical treatments and professionals can get the credit for healing, but I have had the pleasure of witnessing several times where the doctors said one thing, but God intervened. A beloved grandmother figure who was so badly ill with sepsis that the doctors said that the family needed to say their good-byes only to have her not only survive, but thrive. A family friend who was hit by a drunk driver who should not have survived the night, or come out of the coma, or be able to move and speak, but defied the odds. My mother who was in a car accident that broke her neck and should have left her paralyzed, but didn’t. God is still active and working. His power has not diminished!

Resurrection Rest shows that God’s power is still at work in the world today and that His salvation is for everyone. I hope that you enjoy this Easter story of hope and love, and then come back to visit Holliday Hotel to celebrate other holidays through the year!

My Thoughts and More on The Girl Upstairs by Jessica R. Patch

 

Welcome to the Blog Tour for The Girl Upstairs by Jessica R. Patch, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: The Girl Upstairs 
Author: Jessica R. Patch 
Publisher: Harlequin Love Inspired Trade 
Release Date: April 28, 2026 
Genre: Psychological Thriller

"Jessica R. Patch weaves a dark, twisty tapestry that’s both unsettling and unexpectedly hopeful. Masterful." –New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan

She bought this house to save her marriage. Unearthing its secrets might just claim her life. 

Gwen McDaniel’s life is broken. But she knows the perfect place to fix it. Cold Harbor, Maine, an idyllic small town with views of Acadia National Park, is where she used to vacation with her parents as a child. Here, she and Steven can start over, renovating their cliff-side fixer-upper while patching up their marriage. Soon, everything will be better. 

Except from the moment they arrive, Gwen sees and hears things, and it’s more than just the drafts and shadows that are part of any old house. Steven downplays her fears, warning her not to fixate on problems as she has in the past. But Gwen spent years as a homicide detective, and her instincts don’t lie. Something happened here. Proof comes when she rips up the attic’s carpet to discover a chilling message carved into the wood underneath. 

As Gwen delves into the history of the house and the Cold Harbor community, she begins to piece the fragments together. And gradually, a terrifying picture emerges: A missing girl. A house of horrors. And a dark, decades-old nightmare that is more haunting than Gwen ever imagined…

My Thoughts:

I found this story to be unbelievably engrossing. We are told it primarily through Gwen McDaniel's viewpoint. As we enter into this novel, she and her husband and baby girl are starting anew in what seems to be a sweet town in a home that is just waiting to be renovated that overlooks the ocean. Sounds great right? Well, there are plenty of secrets that abound within this novel, and it was really fun reading it as each new revelation is revealed.

The house is eerie and it appears haunted. Strange occurrences are happening that only Gwen is noticing, and not only that, but this house has dark history.

The townspeople seem to be overly sweet too. There is just something off with them like they are also trying to keep secrets buried.

Gwen's marriage is fractured. She and her husband Steven, a doctor, are trying to start a new life away from the old one. But what happened in the past? What are they trying to hide from? As I was reading, Steven kept me off kilter as well.

Then there is Gwen. She is a former homicide detective, a woman who has been through a lot of her own personal loss. She sometimes doesn't even trust herself as to what is real or not. Her marriage is rocky and she is trying to be the best mom she can be. But there is something deep down in her gut that suggests something sinister is going on. And she is even keeping more secrets than anybody else knows.

This is the kind of suspense I like. Everything and everybody is a little off kilter. Who are you supposed to be wary of and all the things that go bump in the night. What fun.

My Thoughts on Of Flaw and Scorn by Vera Bell

 

About:

Irish coast, 795 A.D. Caught between two clashing worlds, a Christian slave and a Viking raider must crush their forbidden love before it imperils her faith and destroys his claim to the jarl’s seat—but God’s plan is greater than either can imagine.

While gathering wild strawberries near her fishing village, thirteen-year-old Brigit stumbles into the path of a young Viking warrior, Reidar. A night terror come alive, the heathen boy is part of a Norse horde descended on Ireland beneath the cover of night. Eager for conquest and glory on his first raid, Reidar takes Brigit captive. But when her terror stirs an overwhelming compassion, he defies his father and saves her from his own people as they raze her village. This unexpected act of mercy sears Brigit’s memory into his soul and becomes his Great Flaw.

Seven years later, the Vikings storm the Irish keep where Brigit is trapped in a loveless marriage. Amid the raid, their young warlord sets his sights on Brigit. Her faith, once her anchor, has withered under years of loss and hardship, and her Great Scorn for Norsemen and all who wronged her has become her only armor. Yet her defenses crumble as she wrestles with a dangerous attraction to her enemy. Bound to her captor’s will and surrounded by savagery, Brigit fights to preserve her dignity and fading faith as she clings to the memory of the boy who once spared her. But the man Reidar has become a hardened warrior, sworn to vengeance and shackled by blood feud.

Both are doomed to ruin unless they open their hearts to the one power greater than the Flaw and Scorn that bind them.

My Thoughts:

Wow! What can I say, but it has been a long time since I read a story like this one. One that is epic and fierce, hard to read at times but full of redemption and the working of that behind the scenes. Please be advised dear readers, this story is not sweet. The author did her research, and she shows the ruthlessness and savagery of the Vikings of that time. And if we are honest with ourselves, that savagery still exists even in our modern times.

This is a story of a believer and a heathen. How both are really just trying to survive in a world that has two differing belief systems and only one is the truth. As I was reading this story, I felt the author really explained the Norse thinking and their false religion well as in how it affected the way they believed and their deeds, to the vile raiding they perceived that was good for them. They thought little of other peoples or their lives.

She starts off each chapter with a stanza from a Norse poem, that in itself has a very interesting story tied in. Then bam, the last two chapters begin with scripture. To me, that was a powerful story move.

Anyway, this story grabbed me, had me thinking, and looking forward to the next in this series. It promises to be just as powerful as it will be someone's story we have met in this one. So, looking forward to it.

My Thoughts and More on Fires of Injustice by Kendy Pearson

 

 

About the Book

Book: Fires Of Injustice

Author: Kendy Pearson

Genre: Christian Historical Fiction

Release Date: April 15, 2026

She is fighting for the innocent.

 He is fighting for a second chance.

Yakira Mitchell has spent her life rescuing the forgotten from the clutches of exploitation and dreams of one day opening her own mission home for Chinese girls. But that dream is hard fought when she becomes a lightning rod for trouble as anti-Chinese mobs protest, and towns expel immigrants in “peaceful” purges across the West. Her heart is to build a home for the broken, but as revelations about her past erupt, the truth threatens to crumble her own foundation.

Attorney Grant Campbell, the boy who once held Yakira’s heart, returns to San Francisco after a long absence to make amends and seek forgiveness. He is determined to defend Chinese immigrants and to reconcile with his family and Yakira. But as old feelings flare—so do old wounds.

As flames of injustice consume communities, violence rages, and lives hang in the balance. Yakira must face the truth of who she really is—and who God has called her to be. In the ashes of hatred, Yakira and Grant both discover a love stronger than fear and a purpose forged in fire.

A story of resilience, redemption, and love, FIRES OF INJUSTICE blazes with the courage of those who dared to stand against the darkness.

My Thoughts:

This story takes us to San Francisco in 1883. From the prologue even further back, to China in 1863. This is a story of Yakira a young woman who has the heart and the zeal to save Chinese girls from the terrible lives ahead of them, unfortunately at the hands of wicked men. Yakira faces a lot of danger and sadly hatred from just about everyone, even those that should not, as she tries to help these poor souls. This story showed the deep prejudice humans have against each other. So sad.

Yakira's beginning is very sad as well. It was not only in America these girls were facing a horrible life, but in China as well. There is love and romance, danger, and family secrets that shake these characters foundations.

I knew about the injustices of the Chinese people, not a lot though. I appreciate that this book delved deep into that time period and I learned a lot. Sometimes I just need to read a book for fun, others I am thankful for what I have learned. This book shined a light on the past and also shows how relevant these issues are still for this world today.

More from Kendy

I just love discovering fascinating new pockets of history. For years I taught high school history, and I realize there is a lot of valuable information that didn’t make it into the curriculum. One of those little history pockets spurred the idea for Fires of Injustice.

I grew up in the Midwest learning about Jesse James, the Plains Indian Wars, frontier violence, the Civil War, the Great Depression, and all things Missouri and Mississippi River. Boy, did I get an education when I moved to the West Coast! The first time someone mentioned “Chinese Underground,” I had to find out more.

Six years ago in Pendleton, Oregon, I first learned about America’s Forgotten War and the expulsions that occurred along the West Coast. I knew thousands of Chinese laborers built the western half of the Transcontinental Railroad. But I didn’t know 300,000 Chinese immigrants came to America between 1852 and 1888. Drawn first by gold, then by opportunities in mining, agriculture, manufacturing, and the service trades.

And the girls came. “Go‑away girls” were daughters of impoverished families in southern China. Families sent or sold these girls into domestic servitude or, tragically, into trafficking networks that reached as far as America.

What began as the exploitation of vulnerable Chinese girls and laborers soon hardened into a wider climate of fear and resentment. That same prejudice—left unchecked—grew into the mob violence and expulsions that later tore entire communities apart.

This was a dark chapter in American history. But there were those who cared about these girls and wanted to protect them at all costs. A story of resilience, redemption, and love, FIRES OF INJUSTICE blazes with the courage of those who dared to stand against that darkness.

My Thoughts on The Rancher's Stolen Past by Tabitha Bouldin

 

About:

A man in search of redemption.

A love he will fight to deserve.

Coming home isn’t easy for cowboy Zane Kingsley—but he’s eager to earn back the trust of the woman he never stopped loving. Single mom Molly Jacobs is still grieving the husband she lost six years ago, and the last person she wants to see is the man she blames for his death. When they’re forced to work together at a summer riding program for kids, Molly can’t help but notice the growing bond between Zane and her young son. Can Zane convince her that he’s a changed man and that he’s worthy of her forgiveness…and her love?

My Thoughts:

Molly is a widow with a son who is deeply grieving her late husband. So much so that she has set all of her anger and blame on his best friend, Zane, due to the fact that she blames Zane for her husband signing up for the military. Her husband was killed while Zane never ended up going. Unfortunately, bitterness has taken root in her heart. I also found a conversation that she had with her father interesting when she told him that she was choosing to blame Zane instead of God. I really felt for Molly, however I really felt for Zane too.

Zane loves Molly. He was a bad boy growing up. He wishes that Molly's husband was still alive. However, he needs to come back to his hometown to help his grandfather. Not only that but he would like to make amends and if at all possible, win Molly and her son's hearts. A deeply moving story of letting go of bitterness and forgiving.
