JustRead Tours Blog Tour: Investigation of a Journalist by Danielle Grandinetti

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for Investigation of a Journalist by Danielle Grandinetti, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: Investigation of a Journalist
Series: Harbored in Crow's Nest #6
Author: Danielle Grandinetti
Publisher: Hearth Spot Press
Release Date: November 19, 2024
Genre: Christian Historical Romance/Suspense

A second chance to set the record straight, and rekindle a lost love. 

Wisconsin, 1931—Buck Wilson refuses to accept failure as his reward for all he has sacrificed, but he’s kept secrets for too long to be believed. With his freedom on the line, there’s only one person he trusts to mine for the true story: the woman he left one month before their wedding. 

All investigative journalist Caroline Wagoneer wants is to shine a light on the truth wherever darkness threatens to obscure it. Which is the only reason she agrees to help her ex-fiance when he begs for her to go undercover in Crow’s Nest. What she discovers paints Buck in a whole new light. 

With lies and rumor hemming them in, Buck and Caroline realize their love may be doomed on the altar of altruism. 

Unless love can truly conquer all. 

Welcome to Crow’s Nest, where danger and romance meet at the water’s edge.

Historical Romance with Suspense is a great genre to read. Investigation of a Journalist by Danielle Grandinetti is one that I recently had the honor to read. It is Book 6 in the Harbored in Crows Nest series. I have read a couple books in this series and have been anxiously awaiting the release of this book. 

I was soo invested in the storyline from the first chapter. This is Buck and Caroline's story and takes place in 1931 in Crow's Nest, WI. I really LOVE that Caroline is an Investigative Journalist from Chicago. I am a Chicago girl myself!  Buck has been in many of the previous books and he is definitely one of my favorite characters. He has lived a life of lies and now he needs the truth to be told. Caroline agreeing to help him with her investigative skills and journalism, is a miracle. Many years ago, Buck left Caroline one month before they were to marry, I was in awe of how Caroline was able to uncover the truth and help Buck.  Buck and Caroline realizing that they still have a LOVE for another is amazing and beautiful!  I am sad that this is the 6th and Final book in this series! I only had the opportunity to read the last 3 books in this series, but I do plan on going back and reading the entire series from beginning to end! The book is and definite Page Turner and filled with Twists and Turns. It is one of Second Chance Romance, Faith, History and more.  I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Historical Romance with Suspense. AMAZING BOOK!

FrontGate Media Blog Tour: Come Home For Christmas: Jesus Is Calling You Back to the Greatest Story Ever Told by Matthew West

Matthew West, in his trademark creative and engaging style, leads readers to experience Christmas through the eyes of a child and to come home to greater joy, hope, peace, and belonging found only in Jesus.

Come Home for Christmas invites readers to enter the Christmas season with the intention of returning their hearts to God. In the midst of what can be the busiest and most stressful holiday season, each chapter points the reader to the kingdom realities that God invites each of us to participate in through the birth of Jesus. Matthew West's humor, Bible-teaching, and storytelling challenge us to embrace this season of Christmas as the homecoming that God intends for it to be. Through the pages of this winsome and inspiring book, you will:

• Feel the wonder of Christmas as you did when you were a child
• Move beyond the baby in the manger to the Savior of the world
• Return your heart to the joy, peace, love, and hope found in Jesus
• Restore neglected or broken relationships with family and friends
• Come home to the life God intended you to experience throughout the year. 

This special book, which springs out of Matthew's love for Christmas, reminds us that the story of Christmas calls readers back to the heart (or the home) of what it means to be loved by God. Each chapter will include a specific Bible reading about the Christmas story, and the book will include small group discussion questions and an Advent challenge.

I have been a fan of Matthew West for many years. He is a WONDERFUL Music Artist and I was excited to read his new Christmas Book: Come Home For Christmas: Jesus Is Calling You Back to the Greatest Story Ever Told. 

WOW, this is a BEAUTIFULLY written book about the Christmas Season. The Christmas Season is a "magical season" for Kids. As we grow older we start understanding the depth of the Christmas Season and what the season is truly about. The BUSY times of the Season can pull us away from truly remembering that "Jesus is the Reason" for the season. Matthew has written this book to help Adults and Families refocus during the Christmas Season and "Come Back to God" during the Celebrations. We can have all the Family Gatherings, enjoy the fun activities at Church and in the Community, but we need to remember and celebrate God in our hearts throughout the Christmas Season. I really LOVE the layout and format of the book. Each Chapter has a bible reading about the Christmas Story, an Advent Challenge and discussion for Small Groups or Families. I HIGHLY suggest this book for Families and everyone during the Christmas Season and to remember that "Jesus is the Reason for the Season". GREAT BOOK!

Matthew West is a five-time GRAMMY® nominee, a multiple ASCAP Christian Music Songwriter/Artist of the Year winner and a 2018 Dove Award Songwriter of the Year (Artist) recipient. He has received an American Music Award, a Billboard Music Award, a K-LOVE Fan Award and was named Billboard’s Hot Christian Songwriter of the Year. A recipient of the Rich Mullins Impact Award, West also received a Primetime Emmy® Award nomination for Original Music & Lyrics for the title track for the feature film “The Heart of Christmas.” He has been awarded a RIAA Gold certification for his single “Hello, My Name Is” and RIAA Platinum certification for the song “The Motions.”

In addition to his own recording career, he has co-hosted the K-LOVE Fan Awards six times adding another this year and has more than 130 songwriting credits to his name, including cuts by Rascal Flatts, Scotty McCreery, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Mandisa, Danny Gokey and others, along with back-to-back No. 1 songs by Casting Crowns including their recent single, “Nobody,” which West is featured.

Adding author to his list of accolades, West has written five books to date: Give This Christmas Away, The Story Of Your Life, Forgiveness, Today Is Day One and his latest, Hello, My Name Is. He is also passionate about providing hope and healing through the power of prayer and story. Along with his father, Pastor Joe West, they founded popwe, a non-profit ministry helping others to craft, share, and live a more meaningful life.

FrontGate Media: Praying Through Loneliness by Kristen Strong

With the current crisis of loneliness and lack of friendships in today’s culture, this 90-day devotional offers both lived perspective and attainable promise for how to find community and friends, especially within your difficult personal circumstances.

Praying Through Loneliness will let you know that you are:

• Not alone in your sadness, frustration, or sense of rejection
• Not alone when you feel jealous of other women’s friendships
• Not alone in the pain of a friendship breakup
• Not alone in your exhaustion from trying to make friends
• Not alone in your need to know that the Lord sees you in your loneliness, has a purpose for you during it, and won’t abandon you as you walk through it

Spend the next 90 days with come-alongside friends and the God who has said from the beginning that it is not good for us to be alone.

Devotionals are a daily part of my life. I am always looking for ones that pertain to me and life. Praying through Loneliness by Kristen Strong is the latest Devotional book that I have read. 

WOW, this is a very powerful and much needed Devotional Book. There are many stages of Loneliness and Women experience Loneliness for many different reasons. I really LOVE that the author explains that in this Devotional. The Layout of the Devotional is very easy to follow. Each day has a Scripture, a story that goes along with the Scripture, a Message of Hope and a Prayer of Encouragement. I really LOVE how the author shows the reader through the Daily Devotionals, that the feeling of Loneliness is strong, but God's LOVE for us is stronger. We are truly never alone with the Lord surrounding us and comforting us. I HIGHLY recommend this Devotional to anyone who needs encouragement in LIFE and those that enjoy Devotionals. GREAT BOOK!

Kristen Strong, whose authored books include Girl Meets Change and When Change Finds You, also compiled the 90-day devotional, Praying Through Loneliness. She writes as the friend wanting to help you be the friend you want to have. She loves sharing laughs, long talks, and meaningful stories with family and friends while holding a cup of strong black tea. She and her US Air Force veteran husband, David, have three beloved adult children. Together this military family zigzagged across the country (and one ocean) several times before settling in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

JustRead Tours Blog Tour: The Darkness Deepens by Sara Davison

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for The Darkness Deepens by Sara Davison, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

Title: The Darkness Deepens
Series: The Day Draws Near #2
Author: Sara Davison
Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink
Release Date: November 15, 2024
Genre: Dystopian Romantic Suspense

Their secrets protect them... but secrets are hard to keep. 

No one in the army can find out that Captain Jesse Christensen has become a believer. He and bookstore owner Meryn O’Reilly are forced to meet in secret, facing imprisonment—or worse—if they are found together. 

As their relationship deepens, so does Lieutenant Gallagher’s hatred for the Christians in their city, putting all believers, especially Jesse, in extreme danger. 

Meryn wants to give her heart to Jesse fully, but her past holds her back. Although circumstances conspire to keep her silent, she needs to tell him her secret so nothing will stand between them anymore. 

 But when he finds out what she has been keeping from him, nothing will ever be the same.

Romantic Suspense novels were not a genre that I wasn't interested in for a long while. I discovered Sara Davison series about 4 years ago and I have been hooked on this genre ever since. The Darkness Deepens is Book 2 of the The Day Draws Near series. I read Book 1 in this series and have been anxiously awaiting this book! 

 I LOVE that the story is set in Canada in 2054 and we have the main characters from Book 1, Meryn and Jesse, in this story also. Jesse and Meryn have a growing relationship, but have to meet in secret and keep their relationship "hush hush". Jesse is a solider and he knows that Lieutenant Gallagher does not like Christians, so he hides the fact that he has become a Christian.  Meryn really wants an even deeper relationship with Jesse, but her past isn't something she is proud of. Can Jesse stay safe from Gallagher and his hate towards Christian? Can Meryn and Jesse reveal things that might hurt their relationship or make it stronger? 

I can honestly say that this series is intriguing my interest in Dystopian genre, a genre that I haven't really every had an interest in. The book starts out strong and the action and suspense make the book a PAGE TURNER.  The book is one of Suspense, Danger, Romance, and Faith. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Suspense with Romance. AMAZING BOOK!
