Synopsis:~

In the wake of a stagecoach accident, doctor Alex Buchanan and nurse Beth McClellan discover that they’re both skilled healers who work well together. Other than that, they have nothing in common! She’s an idealist and he’s a jaded army deserter fleeing a bounty hunter. Surely their alliance ends here . . . or does it?

My take:~

Mary Connealy always serves up an appealing story, where love and laughs abound. Sophie’s Daughters is her newest series centered on the lives of the young daughters of her lead character in a previous novel, Petticoat Ranch. You will not find …

Coming in 2011 from Thomas Nelson ~ Suspense

I love suspense but there are some backlist books of these authors that I have not got to yet and I must read, especially Sibella and Erin’s!

It’s interesting to see that for Liz Wiehl’s novel, the antagonist is identified in the synopsis. For those of you who have read the prior books in the series, is that unusual or have you known the killer from the start?

Which ones of these upcoming Thomas Nelson titles are on your wishlist?

The Circle by Ted Dekker

Ted Dekker’s most popular series – together at last in one volume.

Over to you, Mary:~

Perfectly Dateless by Kristin Billerbeck

Synopsis:~

Daisy Crispin has 242 days to find the right date for the prom. There’s only one problem–her parents won’t let her date or even talk to a guy on the phone. Oh, and she’s totally invisible at school, has to wear lame homemade clothes, and has no social skills. Okay, so maybe there’s more than one problem. Can she talk her parents into letting her go to the prom? Or will they succeed at their obvious attempt to completely ruin her life?

My take:~

First up, I don’t usually read YA fiction but I’ve always enjoyed Kristin’s books and …
