Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: Unending Hope by Cindy Kay Stewart

Book: Unending Hope

Author: Cindy Kay Stewart

Genre: Historical Christian Romance

Release Date: July 29, 2025

As WWII expands across Europe, members of the Circle of Hope are drawn deeper into the struggle to survive in the face of overwhelming adversity.

April 1940. Nazi Germany carries out a devastating invasion, trapping Americans David Jensen and Natalie Thompson in Norway. Determined to use their medical skills to aid the Norwegians, David and Natalie embark on a harrowing journey to treat the injured and evade the Nazis.

Natalie, a dedicated Red Cross worker, values deep relationships. Fearful of settling for a shallow marriage, she broke off her engagement to David several years before. But she never stopped loving him and spending time working together in Norway plays havoc with her heart.

David, a charismatic and confidant doctor with the Red Cross, desires to advance his career and rekindle his relationship with Natalie. Even though she once rejected him, he believes she is the only woman for him. But years of keeping others at arms’ length guarantees that winning Natalie back will be the biggest challenge he’s ever faced.

The saga introduced in Abounding Hope continues in this inspiring second installment of courage and devotion.

Readers of Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale and Lee Jackson’s After Dunkirk series will love this book.

More from Cindy

Those who love learning about bygone eras through fiction, will enjoy escaping to WWII Norway and France in Unending Hope, Book 2 in the Circle of Hope series. This novel follows the adventures of former boarding school classmates who vowed to come to each other’s aid in times of crisis, and WWII provides plenty of trouble for these diehard twenty-somethings to work through. Abounding Hope, Book 1 in the series, is a friends-to-lovers romance, and Unending Hope is a second-chance romance. The novels are sequential to the timeline of WWII.

As well as struggling to safely navigate their responsibilities, the major characters in both novels seek answers to their needs and problems, which can only be found by embarking on a spiritual journey that’s just as climactic as their physical adventures.

I love to research and dig up true stories I’ve never heard about or seen before and then share the most interesting ones through the lives of my characters. Bringing history to life is an adventure for me, and keeping my stories historically accurate is a goal I always strive to meet.

JustRead Tours Blog Tour: Kidnapped for Ransom by Jacqueline Adam

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Kidnapped for Ransom by Jacqueline Adam, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: Kidnapped for Ransom 
Author: Jacqueline Adam 
Publisher: Love Inspired Suspense 
Release Date: October 28, 2025 
Genre: Romantic Suspense

Abduction is only the beginning… 
Will murder be next?

Doctor Chelsea Eidman thought she’d finally escaped the perils of her late husband’s secret life as a diamond thief—until his former accomplice attacks her. The danger escalates when a vengeful mobster kidnaps Chelsea’s daughter and friend, demanding the stolen diamonds in exchange for their lives. To recover the gems, Chelsea joins forces with officer Matt Reynolds, whose sister has also been abducted. As they race against time, they find themselves in deadly pursuits across harsh terrain. With everything on the line, Chelsea and Matt must outsmart their enemies and unravel a web of lies…before their families pay the ultimate price.  

I came to enjoy Romantic Suspense novels a few years ago and have been hooked ever since. Kidnapped for Ransom by Jacqueline Adam is the latest in this genre that I have read. 

WOW, this storyline captured my attention from page 1 and I did not stop reading until I finished 3 hours later. The main characters in this book are Doctor Chelsea Eidman and Matt Reynolds, a police officer. Chelsea is a recent widow and is navigating the discovery that her late husband was a Diamond Thief. She has no clue to his double life until after he passed away. The story really gets suspenseful and interesting when Chelsea is attacked and her daughter is kidnapped. 2 others are also kidnapped, including Matt Reynolds Sister. Chelsea and Matt decide to work together on this case as they know that have to act fact to rescue the kidnapped. Chelsea and Matt were childhood friends and throughout the Mystery of the Kidnapping, they begin to grow closer to one another. The book has many twists and turns and is action packed throughout. I LOVE how the storyline also has Christian elements. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Romance with Suspense. GREAT BOOK!

TAKE A PEAK INSIDE THE BOOK

I have enjoyed the Adventures in Odyssey books for many years, especially when my Boys were little. The Imagination Station series is one of the series we truly enjoyed. The newest book, Drought, Wind, and Fire is the story of the Prophet Elijah. Elijah is dealing with challenging times with the land going through a drought, but he puts in hope and trust in God. He leads the people of the land through the struggles and he also hopes they can put their trust in God.  The story also shows Patrick and Beth that God can give them strength and knowledge to make it through tough circumstances in life. 

The series has sold over 1 Million Books and very well liked by many kids. Families also love it because they are filled with Christian Content and are Historically Accurate. The books make GREAT gifts for kids aged 7 -12. I HIGHLY recommend this series for young kids and families! GREAT SERIES!
