Stay with Me by Becky Wade

Truly magnificient in every way this latest book by Becky Wade has me in awe. Author Becky Wade takes a very sensitive, timely and difficult subject of opioid addiction and turns it into a story of hope and redemption. The love story is tender, amazing and fun as you would expect from Becky Wade. The mysteries found pocketed in the story are so compelling I could hardly turn the pages fast enough. This book is packed with flashbacks, unresolved relationship issues, suspense, drama ... you name it. But it all comes together in a neat package that blends into a beautiful picture of God's grace. The character's dialogue truly speaks to the heart.

Standoff by Patricia Bradley

Set in the beauty of Mississippi this romance has more than one mystery to solve and plenty of action.  Trying to figure out who the good guys are versus the bad guys isn’t as obvious as it might seem to Brooke at first.  While she tries to figure out who to trust her heart with she becomes involved in a dangerous undercover operation that may cost her more than she bargains for.  With a sweet grandmotherly neighbor, a protective mother and zealous friends, Brooke is bombarded with advice on her personal life.  But the things she’s keeping hidden will either keep those she loves safe or cost them their lives.

Hadley Beckett's Next Dish by Bethany Turner.

This book surprised me!  I didn’t expect to enjoy it so much.  But now I can’t wait to read more books from this author.  The romance was fun yet it had a lot of deep issues involved in the story.  Bethany Turner knows how to get your attention and while she has it give some honestly profound relationship advice.  I really loved how this book went from cute story to a deeply meaningful exploration of what love can mean.  I was impressed that the relationship was built in stages and on purposeful self searching and vulnerable sharing.  The story was well put together.  I couldn’t put it down.
