Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: Battered and Torn by Allison Pearl

Book: Battered & Torn

Author: Allison Pearl

Genre: Faith-Based Romantic Suspense

Release Date: February 6, 2023

As just another staff member in the mansion of billionaire Archie Hamilton, Nora’s finally found a place to hide from her murderous family. But when the handsome bigshot asks her out on a date, she worries Archie’s interest—no matter how thrilling—will blow her cover and shoot up a flare for those hunting her. And if she can’t squash his crush, only God will be able to keep him out of danger.

When Archie turned in his scalpel to run the family business, life became too busy to go home and deal with his grief. But when he discovers a suspicious hire at his ancestral estate, he’s forced to confront the situation as well as his anger at God for taking not only his family, but his dreams. Despite his objections, his grandmother is determined to keep Nora on staff, but that isn’t going to stop him investigating her on his own—no matter how attractive he finds her. But the more he digs, the more questions he has.

Drawn to Nora again and again, Archie wonders if she’ll help lead him back to the truth or get him killed. Is trusting a beautiful stranger worth the risk to his family, his life, and his heart? And when Nora’s past catches up with them, will anyone be left alive?

A Romantic Suspense novel is just my kind of book to read on a Gloomy Spring Morning. Battered and Torn by Allison Pearl is book 4 in the Love and Danger in St. Claire series. I have read the first 3 books in this series and was anxiously waiting for this book to be released!

WOW, just WOW! I think this book is my favorite in the Series! I truly enjoyed this book and read it in one sitting. The 2 main characters, Nora and Archie are just amazing and truly make the book interesting. I really love how their relationship grew slowly and how Archie made changes in his life, but took things at a good pace. The mystery and suspense in this book are "Page Turning" and it was an "on the edge of my seat" suspense. COZY Romantic Novel! I highly recommend this WONDERFUL book to anyone who enjoys Romantic Suspense novels! FANTASTIC BOOK!

More from Allison

We’ve all fantasized about running away and starting over. Maybe it’s to some gem of a small town or a thrilling big city, but who hasn’t wondered what it would be like to leave our history, our anxieties, and our problems behind and trade them in for something fairytale-worthy and new? Nora didn’t just dream about starting over, she did. But did she run far enough? The nightmares that haunt her at night say otherwise, leading her to wonder Can we ever really start over or do our fears just lie in wait?

Nora’s written her own fairytale, but will her murderous family steal the happy ending? Find out the truth by getting your copy of BATTERED & TORN!

Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: Redemption in the Wilderness by Andrea Byrd

Book: Redemption in the Wilderness

Author: Andrea Byrd

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Release Date: September 19, 2023

Two sisters alone on the Kentucky frontier…love is the last thing they expect to find.

After the death of their parents during the Hard Winter, Margaret and her sister have struggled to survive. Between her mother’s dying wish that Margaret protect her sister, and the nagging sensation that they are not alone, guilt and worry are her constant companions. And if someone is following them, is their watcher friend or foe?

Iain Donegal can’t afford roots, not with the pain and guilt of the life he’s left behind, or the memory of the drink that once threatened to consume him. But his solitary life as a long hunter in the wilds of Kentucky finds a new path when he happens upon a young woman digging a grave for her own mother. Unable to pull himself away when he realizes that she and her sister are on their own, he begins to provide anonymous aid. But when the women truly need him, can he risk leaving his solitary life behind to step in and fill the void?

I LOVE Christian Historical Romance books Redemption in the Wilderness by Andrea Byrd is Book 2 in the Frontier Hearts series. I had the joy of reading Book 1 and have been anxiously anticipating Book 2.

The setting is Spring 1780 in the Kentucky Wilderness. Margaret and Muireall lost both of their parents in the Winter of 1779. Margaret's mother asked her to care of her sister and she is struggling with carrying out her mother's wish. The Women are especially having trouble securing meat and food. Margaret also has a nagging feeling that someone is watching them or following them. Iain Donegal is a Hunter and lives a Solitary Life in the Kentucky Wilderness. He is concerned for the Girls when he sees them digging a grave to bury their parents. He keeps watch of them from afar, but steps in when danger arises. Iain loves his solitary life and has no plans of getting married and settling down, but he begins thinking about changes when he needs to protect the girls. Will Iain leave his lifestyle to protect the girls? Will Margaret make a decision for the future of both her and her sister?

WOW, I was captivated by this storyline from the very first chapter. Margaret is a LOVING Sister who is trying to be strong for her sister and watch out for her sister. Iain is a wonderful strong man who LOVED his lifestyle and it benefitted the girls even when they didn't know it. I LOVED how he came to the rescue when danger lurked. I think my favorite part of the book was watching Iain and Margaret grow through their marriage. This book is filled with History, LOVE,, Faith and Family! I am looking forward to more books in this series Anyone who enjoys Christian historical books will LOVE this book! WONDERFUL BOOK!

More from Andrea

One of my favorite aspects of being a historical fiction author is learning new tidbits of information with each novel I pen.

Not only have I always loved learning, but I also harbor a deep passion for novels that incorporate real places and events. In Redemption in the Wilderness, I was blessed with the opportunity to research the beginnings of Harrodsburg, KY. This town was founded in 1774 as Harrodstown by James Harrod. What began mainly as a civilian fort with the building of Fort Harrod has endured more than 200 years of Kentucky’s rich history. Tourists and locals alike can still visit a replica of Fort Harrod today. And, you, yourself, can visit the original fort in Redemption in the Wilderness.

Beyond historical places and events, I also always find myself on a search engine with the strangest little inquisitions. Such as… What plants are native to Kentucky? When do said plants bloom? And which can be used as a natural remedy for this particular ailment? With this novel, I found that feverfew, a native Kentucky wildflower, was so aptly named because early settlers used this native plant to reduce fever. I cannot wait for you to see what role it played for the characters in Redemption in the Wilderness.
