I did like the story quite a bit. The toddler was lost at sea and then grew up not knowing she was not living with her own parents. Then a stranger arrives one stormy night and she finds out the truth. She ends up going to work for her real father's family. But someone didn't want her to ever fin...
It is a good book to spend time reading. Allie has a generalized belief/view of God but does her best to trust him. Someone is stalking her and killing members of her family. The police don't seem to care. She runs to the Bluebird Youth Ranch, which turns out to be her grandfather's place. She's...
While I loved the overall premise of the story and the characters I found the book to be just a touch unbelievable, laughable even. Every, single, bad thing that could happen to a person did. Breaks-ins, snakes, wolves, stampedes, plotting family members, family feuds, swooning...it felt a little...
Libby Holladay restores old buildings by flipping them. She and her partner, Nicole, are checking out Hope Island for a developer, Lawrence Rooney. Nicole is kidnapped while Libby is watching on her computer. Libby becomes the prime suspect especially when she finds out she has inherited the i...
I've discovered the Christian fiction of Colleen Coble and I had a hard time putting the book down... in fact I didn't and finished reading “Tidewater Inn” in one day. The beginning, a kidnapping, who wouldn't want to find out the who, what and why of that? Though as the reader continues reading ...
First off, I absolutely LOVE the cover. Seriously. Whenever there’s a discussion about pretty covers, this one comes to my mind first. I did a Cover Focus on it awhile back too! And it contains a great story. There were a few scenes that I can only describe as heart-melting – so sweet, and I love...
This book was the second in the Mercy Falls series. It picks up where the first one left off. Addie North (she married John) became friends with Katie Russel, the switchboard operator whom she met in the first book. This book follows Katie as she is expected to marry a wealthy man named Bart some...
I have read so many historical fiction books in which two people marry for convenience, or because one is a mail-order bride, I'm almost sick of the same old plot...but, I often wondered, how would this work in a contemporary fiction novel? How could you get two people to marry for convenience an...
I think this is one of the best books by Colleen Coble that I have read so far. It is Christian and it does have lots of romance, but it is also filled with suspense, which I love the combination.It was so easy to feel like I was a part of the story living right there in it. I loved the character...
This was OK-- again, very simplistic and the amount of plot information that is attempted / crammed into a two page section of a chapter is ridiculous. It makes it so that things are solved WAY too simplistically, as well as reduces the actual character development. Bree is supposedly a smart K9...
This "book" was not worth the read, to be honest. It was really four novellas, all with the same annoying premise, all with the same predictable happy endings. The characters were almost all exactly alike and I essentially felt like I read the same sappy love story four times in one book. Girl se...
Clay Larson had a job that kept him away from his new wife Eden and at times put his own life at risk as a photo journalist in the drug lord filled jungles in Columbia. When their only infant daughter Brianna is suddenly kidnapped and a ransom offered, the Larson's marriage will be put to the ult...
I really like the mystery all though it is pretty far fetched. It is fun to see who "did it" at the end, but it never has anyone had worse luck then this family. Although I like this character, it would have been a little more believable if it didn't all (the three books before and then this on...
Lily and Andy were in love and planning their future together. Until the fateful night that a suspicious fire killed both of their fathers. Andy left to join the Secret Service to pursue justice for their deaths. He took on a new identity as Drew Hawkes. Upon the death of her mother, Lily accepts...
This book was written by 4 different, wonderfully-talented authors, each telling the story of 4 close friends, all belonging to a book club in Smitten, Vermont. The authors wrote about each girl, their unique life stories and their finding love in God's own timing. This is a Christian romance nov...
This Novella was really entertaining! This is yet another glimpse of a series that I REALLY WANT TO READ NOW!!! LOL! Just a taste of all of these great characters has left me wanting to read the series and discover more and more about them! Colleen comes up with the most unique and lovable cha...
