Book Description:

Is there hope for this love between friends?

Pamela Hayes is a smart, successful business owner with a supportive family and a thriving bakery. She should be the happiest girl in the world. But she can’t shake the melancholy that accompanies every conversation she has with her best friend, Mark. Pamela doesn’t know how much longer she can hide her true feelings.

Why can’t Mark see how perfect they would be together? She would make a much better girlfriend than the one he currently has. Pamela prays he’ll come to his senses soon and realize he’s with the wrong girl. But when her dream comes true, it isn’t the fantasy she had envisioned.

There is trouble in paradise from the start, and all the red flags she’s been ignoring are starting to threaten her confidence…and her relationship with Mark. She’ll have to rely on family and her faith in God to help her secure the hope she so desperately needs.
Big heart, forgiveness, and confidence roll into one 
I can never be Pamela because I will never share my man. Mark and I will never work it out lol.
Pamela has a big heart, forgiveness, and confidence in herself. Mark is lucky that Pamela has loved her since the beginning. I adore the confidence and hope that their relationship will work out. With so many problems and troubles, the couple makes it to the end. Forgiveness and with the help of the parent's advice, these couple survived.
Bad intentions will never outlaw against a person with a good heart like Pamela. This woman will never give up her marriage and even fight against her husband's ex-girlfriend. I think this is my favorite from the Hope Series so far.

The Certain Hope Book 3 Hope Series By E. C. Jackson

 



Book Details:

​Book Title: The Certain Hope: Hope Series, Book 3 by E.C. Jackson
Category:  Adult Fiction 18+, 261 pages
Genre: Inspirational Romance
Publisher:  E.C. Jackson
Release date:  Dec 5, 2018
Content Rating:  PG + M. These books contain mature themes.


The title of this novel is perfectly suitable to its meaning. The Certain Hope is the one of a couple of lonely guys that decided to marry after two weeks of dating. The groom believes that everything will go fine, especially if the bride will do only what he wants. He is control addicted, she is a romantic girl who believes in having met the man of her dreams. Through this behavioral contrast, the author built a great story, focused on the burning topics of marriage, loss and control addiction. In my view, the novel is a little, big literary masterpiece for the underlying meaning that oozes from every chapter. I believe that The Certain Hope deserves to be translated internationally and this thought is my certain hope for the success of this gripping romance novel. -- review by Advices books Reviews

Book Description:

Love at first sight. It’s every girl’s dream. But Tara Simpkins is finding out it’s not as easy as it seems. Is this truly the man God sent to be her husband, or is she just desperate to escape her loneliness? The recent loss of both parents has left her reeling, and close friends don’t think she’s in any position to make major life decisions. She and her new-found love are convinced they can live happily ever after in the home of their dreams. His family thinks he’s moving way too fast and might disappoint the kind-hearted woman he’s fallen head over heels for. And then there’s Leah. Leah is supposed to be part of his past, but what if she decides she’s his future? Tara’s match made in Heaven may be over before it truly begins.
A perfect story for Tara and Luke

I enjoyed reading the 3rd book from the Hope Series by Ms. E. C. Jackson, the Certain Hope.

This is a perfect story for both Tara and Luke, the Certain Hope. This story is emotional and tragic but beautiful. Reading this story is so real to me, losing my Mom and father-in-law in about 9 days from each other is so hard. Grief is so hard especially when you are alone.

Love at first sight between these two is so beautiful and they got married in a few weeks. My favorite is being honest with each other before the wedding day. True love prevails and is willing to forgive. This Hope Series is beautiful with words of wisdom and the characters perfectly fit each story. I cannot wait to read another Hope Series from this author.

The Prime Suspect Book by Lauren Carr

 



Book Details:

Book Title The Prime Suspect (A Sam MacKade PI Mystery) by Lauren Carr
Category:  Adult Fiction (18 +), 430 pages
Genre:  Mystery
Publisher:  Acorn Book Services
Release date:   Oct 26, 2023
Content Rating:  PG-13 (Lauren Carr's books are murder mysteries, so there are murders involved. Occasionally, a murder will happen on stage. There is sexual content, but always behind closed doors. Some mild swearing (a hell or a damn few and far between). No F-bombs!


"The plot is twisted. The characters are full of depth, with many hiding secrets. Mackade's two dogs and Greyson's cat are not only smart, but have attitude with a capital A.  I don't want to spoil anything, so all I am going to say is the cat is the hero who deals with one personal threat."  Marilyn R. Wilson, Author, Speaker, Book Reviewer, review of THE PRIME SUSPECT

"Lauren Carr is among my favorite mystery writers. She knows how to write a fun tale while keeping readers engaged. ..." - Amy Campbell, Locks Hooks and Books

"I am, bottom line, amazed at the giant step that places Carr comparable to significant authors whose name slips off our tongues like, for instance, Nora Roberts. Watch this author--she's moving quickly to where her goals are headed..." - review by Glenda Bixler, Book Readers Heaven

Lauren Carr is a master storyteller who combines the humor of Janet Evanovich and the investigative skills of Patricia Cornwell. She is always at the top of my reading list." - review by Sherry Fundin, Fundinmental, As Eye See It

Book Description:
Two murders with one common denominator. Both victims betrayed Bryce Greyson. How could she not be the prime suspect?

Four years after Bryce’s cheating husband is gunned down, her boyfriend-stealing former roommate’s remains are found buried under a statue at her alma mater.

Declared the prime suspect by both detectives and the media, Bryce has no choice but to hire someone to clear her name.

Enter Sam MacKade, private eye.

To solve two murders, the former police K-9 officer and his canine partners must sift through the clues and the lies to reveal the true prime suspect.
Sam and Bryce what a perfect team 
When your favorite mystery author has a new book, there is no way that you will miss reading her new release. Ms. Lauren Carr did it again. This author is so amazing with her writings. The Prime Suspect is not an exception.
There are so many twists and turns that will blow your mind. This book is hard to put down. Even in the middle of the night, I have to finish reading a few pages and of course, end it with a chapter. Sam and Bryce are a perfect team to solve these two crimes and Bryce is a prime suspect. 
Accused of killing a roommate and her husband, she has no choice but to find an investigator who hopefully helps her clear her reputation. I really enjoy reading this book. This book can be in a TV or movie. The suspense is so intense. I figured out who did it and it will blow your mind. Prepare to be amazed when this book and the rest of Ms. Lauren Carr's writings. I can't wait for her new book and I am sure favorite readers like me and eager to read it once it is out.

It's engaging and funny
This is not the first book that I had read from the author Ms. Karen Bovee.   As usual, I enjoyed reading her books. This book is engaging and funny.
I laugh out loud so many times which is my favorite from reading this cozy mystery book. I can relate to some of the characters, especially Maggie. I am not a maid but some of her work in the hotel is mostly what I do at work. This girl is an asset to the hotel and I am glad that Mrs. Pryce takes good care of this employee. 
Mothers will always strive for their kids particularly a daughter in this story to have the best in life. It is unfortunate that sometimes mothers will not let their daughters decide what is best for them. Mrs. Pryce indeed plays a big role not only in owning the hotel but in the end being welcome to the community. Money is money but above all your reputation is most important than any amount of money.
