    A Coldwater Bay Intrigue novel 

   A routine patrol turns deadly when marine deputy Bree Carrington’s boat is sunk by men carrying illegal weapons. Fleeing a barrage of bullets, she’s suddenly rescued by DEA agent Quinn Strand—her ex-boyfriend. Quinn’s return threatens more than Bree’s heart…because he’s the one the men are really after. As criminals hunt her to get to him, can Quinn and Bree take down a drug ring?                                                                

My Review: Running Target is part of the Coldwater Bay series and the best yet. It can be read as a stand-alone. But be prepared to be taken on the adventure of a lifetime. Bree Carrington and her partner were making a routine water patrol when their world was turned upside down by drug running hit-men. Running for her life she is found by Quinn Strand with the DEA. He happens to be family friend and ex of Bree. Together they run for their lives, trying to protect her family and clear Quinn’s name. Running Target is well written, the characters are well thought out. It is action packed page turner that will keep you at the edge of your seat. It also has a few twists and turns that were truly unexpected. Elizabeth Goddard has done a superb job with this 5-star book. I look forward to her next one.

                                   Courting Mr. Emerson

   Back cover: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West  meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen  up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause-- and finds herself falling for him in the process.

A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them.

But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The question is, will his change of heart be too late for Willow?

With her signature heart and touches of humor, fan favorite Melody Carlson pens a story of two delightfully eccentric characters who get a second chance at life and love.

  My Review: Artist Willow West meets straitlaced recently retired teacher George Emerson and sparks fly. Read this great book to see if he can let go of his uptight ways and trust himself to love once again. Willow had me chuckling at her outrageous antics. Melody Carlson was able to weave Christian values into her story without being preachy.  She takes us on a tale of mid - life changes with faith and amusement. Even touches on some hard subjects with grace and dignity. This book was an easy enjoyable read.  The characters were realistic and lively. I give Courting Mr. Emerson 5 stars and hope she continues the story of some of the minor characters.
