Gingerbread Danger by Amanda Flower
I love the Candy Shop Mysteries! Bailey has a good heart and a desire to make everyone as happy and successful as she is. The Amish country setting is perfect for all of the mysteries she finds herself in. I love her relationships with the townspeople and how she has found her place among the Amish and English people. The animals that are always involved in author Amanda Flowers' books are entertaining as well. In Gingerbread Danger Juliette's pet pig Jethro is front and center ready to help Bailey in a pinch as well as get into all kinds of mischief! If you are looking for a cozy mystery to read for the Christmas season this would be the perfect book for you, it will make you want to go back and read the rest of the series as well.

COVER REVEAL: FATHOMS: Lisa T. Bergren
Synopsis:
Can the She-Wolves of Siena survive the lion’s den?
Luciana Betarrini is living a nightmare. Blinded in battle, she is unsure what her future holds.
When Lady Tiliani Forelli volunteers to serve as the young Lady Romano’s governess—in order to protect the child—Luciana quickly follows suit, volunteering as a tutor. But as they navigate life in the treacherous neighboring castello, they find Lord Ercole a chameleon of adversaries, intent on mastering the She-Wolves of Siena any way he can.
Together, Luciana and Tiliani must find a way to bring Ercole down, and buy time for Domenico and Marcello to establish new allies. But Luciana continues to find herself at a crossroads: Is she willing to risk leaving Sir Giulio Greco forever in order to chase healing through the time tunnel? Or is she called to accept her plight—in light of the myriad blessings of her new medieval life—and make her way through the best she can?

Tomorrow's Promise by Bethany Klassen
Nathan Royce is the preacher for the town of Albury. He's a lonely man until he meets Hazel McKinney. Hazel is very sheltered and protected by her bitter father. He refuses to let her have any friends and they remain secluded on their farm outside of town.
Matthew Ellison was introduced in the first book, Sins of the Past. He has married Nathan's sister Emma. They have settled in Albury even though Matthew's past has caused him to have to take a different job.
As the preacher, Nathan hopes to be able to visit the McKinney farm and hopefully tell Hazel's father about the Lord. The man wants nothing to do with the Lord, and Hazel tries to encourage him to not come back.
When evil threatens to come to the town of Albury Matthew is quickly enlisted as the Sheriff to help protect the town and hunt down a killer.
I really enjoyed Tomorrow's Promise, it was a sweet romance that had a lot of tense suspense to it. I loved all of the characters and definitely plan on reading the first book(which I just purchased!). I loved how patient and kind Nathan was to Hazel. I loved Hazel's faith. Even though she wasn't allowed to go to church, she still maintained a relationship with the Lord. I also liked her resilience and desire to have her freedom away from her father but yet waiting for the Lord's timing. Author Bethany Klassen is a new author to me and I must say I am looking forward to future books by her. If you like a good western romance with a bit of suspense to it then I highly recommend reading this book. But don't be like me! Read the first book first and then this one!
