Mar 19 Her Guardian’s Salvation by charlee james

  


 

Her Guardian’s Salvation by charlee james

Love this story about Ivy who's a house inspector. When she's on the job she hears others in the house and knows she has to escape from where she is, heads to the woods and gunshots follow her. She falls down a cliff and Jude is the one to find her. He is having his annual cabin in the woods retreat to forget aobut how his family died and he blames himself. He is able to rescue Ivy.

It's only the beginning as she tells her story to him. Investitive cops take over and track down leads to find the men and it gets more involved from there.

What a story!  Adult situations but love the moments she is able to connect with Jude because of her brother Ash who has some of the same ailments that he deals with. Love catching up with the rest of Jude's team and their lives.

Would recommend this story but best if read from the very beginning.

Can't wait to read the next one already.

Book Review: Bait the Devil Book 2 of A Bounty of Shadows by Winter Austin

  

   
Bait the Devil Book 2 of A Bounty of Shadows by Winter Austin
Story starts out with Dot and she's on a mission to catch the bounty for her and the group.
She's not a PI yet but others are and they get leads on the bounty and who they need to be capturing.
Love the step by step process and how they are able to track the culprits down and get them.
Love the team and what they mean to one another and how well they work as a team.
Lots of action, mystery, and adventure.
Like how the missions go on target then things go haywiere and then it even gets worse. Super love the ending, didn't see that happening! Can't wait to read more form the author.

Book Review: Travel With Style by Anastasia Pash

  

 
Travel With Style by Anastasia Pash
Love this book because it's written by someone who's traveled the world since in her young years. She lists a country and tells you about the clothing you should bring, depending on the time of year: all of the seasons.  Even includes day/night temps to be aware of. The customs and traditions are also mentioned along with rules/laws about illegal things and other things that you might do to put yourself in harms way by dressing provocatively warranting unwanted advances. There are so many locations and countries and so much to do that she also lists and how to dress for a theater vs. a walkthrough town.
It's all about combination clothing, where you can wear a light weight sweater in multiple outfits and how to take a photo of the ensemble so you won't have to hassle with searching through clothes that you brought with you.
LOVE FAQ'S  at  the end where she explains which container/suitcase/backpack to use and when and how to pack them properly. SO much valuable information in this book.

Book Review: Sisters in Christ: Defeat the Enemy One Powerful Prayer At a Time (JESUS in the EVERYDAY) by Cheri Swalwell

  

 
Sisters In Christ by Cheri Swalwell
Book starts out with a dedication page then a note from the author about SIC Society
Table of contents is enclosed.
Introduction talks about how the author became a Sister In Christ.
Chapters start out with a title and the theme for that chapter, and the author's story.
Segments also include: What does the Bible say, Real Life, Takeaway for Today,  Prayer to Abba and Your turn where the Q&A and discussions questions are listed.
Like this format throughout the book because I like order and being uniform.
What I learned from this book is a lot-Love how the author takes a thought and relates how it directly effects her and her family and how SIC's can help one another even from different backgrounds and at a different place in their lives.
Like the sections about the Bible-they make the passage come to life, in real life terms.
Even Covid19 is mentioned several times as it relates to some discussions.
Love the part about the Brothers in Christ-that was a surprise to read about, Love Indians and their traditions and customs.
Book is so down to earth and easy to put into your own life situations.
Listened intently to this book as I baked by hand so noise of mixer wouldn't take over what I was hearing and I felt a peace, calm and no upheaval.
Like the conclusion and how to reach out to others. Ends with contact the author and bio of the author.
Love how the author opens up in many cases and I recall going through several in my lifetime as well.
  Also there are questions to ask yourself if the topic is revelent to you, and the 'takeaway' for the section is also super helpful summarizing the whole section.
Author makes this book so easy to follow along and how you can pick out the moments in your own life where the Holy Ghost was actually right there with you the whole time.
Such a blessing to be able to read and review this book. Contents will stick with me for a long time.

Book Review: Holy Spirit Anointing: Your Weapon to Walk in Victory by Cheri Swalwell

  



 


Holy Spirit Anointing: Your Weapon to Walk in Victory by Cheri Swalwell 
Love this story because growing up Catholic and then attending Catholic schools we were taught about the Holy Ghost, God and Jesus. Never knoew how others saw it as Uncle Clyde.  When I hear the word ghost I usually see it as an alien. When I know it's about religion I do not see it as an alien but a most treasured high God status.
Love the stories how the author put herself out there and tells you how she overcame so much and still fighting the good battle of her other fears. So very personal and touching, emotional and hits home with me.
Love how she reaches out to others who are very close to her to prayer with her as she is there for them as well. 
So many struggles and sadness at times but she continues on to realize her fears and weaknesses and prays about how to overcome them and she has!
Read a different book tonight and it talked how the man had dropped to the floor and he had his father and dead brother speaking to him, like the Holy Ghost. Couldn't believe it said that exactly in the book. so cool to have this connection while reading, to know he's always there for you. And now I know so much more about the Holy Ghost when I pray that I never knew before. Something just so simple.
Can't wait to read more from this author, she gets right to the point, in easy fashion and style.


 

Book Review: The Diner by Joanne DeMaio

   







The Diner by Joanne DeMaio 
In this story we find Shane and he's back to Maine for work. He hates the pull of Stony Point, CT and what's there for him.
He gets some surprises when he returns for the day and then the phone call about the CT group. People almost died and he wasn't there to help them.
Back at Stony Point Jason walks into the diner after hours and finds a robber holding a gun to Kyle's face. He takes matters into his own hands stating the rest of the guys will be there soon to play cards. 
They are able to escape harm but it eats at their brains the whole week and then some.
Love how they find solace in others and how they are able to just let it all go.
So emotional and touching as things are happening. Jason has an out of body experience and he can't explain it to anybody but Shane.
Love how the group will be celebrating in the next book.
Love the beach scene and all that comes with it Love catching up with the others and Cliff's son is new to the series. Lots of mysteries, secrets and there's a lot more to come.
Love this series and can't wait to read more.
