Running Target (Coldwater Bay Intrigue) by [Goddard, Elizabeth]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.

Love Inspired Suspense

ISBN: 9780373446452

   Author Elizabeth Goddard has written another five star novel. She has entwined romance with lots of action and suspense. Be prepared to be kept at the edge of your seat with this book.

Cade Warren rescues Leah after detective Snyder tries to kill her. Sparks fly but Leah has a hard time trusting anyone. Cade can tell she has a secret and is determined to help. After a while Cade gets under her skin and she soon realizes she has strong feeling for the search and rescue hero. She and Cade use her legal investigation skills to help her prove the murdering detective guilty. With both having been hurt before trust is a big issue. Read this great story to find out if they are finally able to trust and bring Detective Snyder to justice. I can not want to read more in the Mountain Cove series, I hope I don’t have to wait long. If you enjoy Christian fiction and suspense this is the book for you.

About A Grand Teton Sleigh Ride: from Indigo
 Wyoming’s spectacular mountains have drawn many—from trappers to ranchers to skiing enthusiasts. This Christmas, spend the holidays with the Covington family, who have called Wyoming home for generations. Rough, bristly rancher Zebulon sets his sights on eastern lady Belle Murray. Forward-thinking Emily would rather stay a dog musher than become a bride. Outfitter Sam wants to make his name in Wyoming—not say “I do.” Hayley’s quest for her father’s approval goes sour when she takes an interest in a local ski bum. Will four festive sleigh rides rein in romance?
 

My Review:
A Grand Teton Sleigh Ride, Four Generations of Wyoming Ranchers Celebrate Love at Christmas By Elizabeth Goddard and Lynette Sowell

A Grand Teton Sleigh Ride takes us on a adventure through four generations with the Covington family. The characters live in Jackson Hole, Wyoming from 1888 until present time. Each story highlights the way of life for that time period and the changes that came since the generation before them. They all have a magical sleigh ride in common. I fell in love with the characters and their stories especially Haley. For some reason her story just warmed my heart. The authors Lynette Sowell and Elizabeth Goddard did an outstanding job of brining life to the characters. Their stories are real, heartwarming and you find yourself caught up in their life. A Grand Teton Sleigh Ride is full of passion, faith and a belief that you can survive. The Covington family will inspire you to do great things with whatever you have. I give this inspiring book 5 stars and know anyone that if you enjoy historical romance and contemporary romance will find something to love about this book.


A Wedding for Bella by Lynette Sowell

Jackson’s Hole, Wyoming 1888.
Bella Murphy has no living family after the death of her sister and brother in law died in a accident. She had been living with them in Jackson’s Hole working toward their claim of the land. She only has the winter left before she can file a claim for legal ownership of the land. Zebulon Covington has promised Bella’s brother in law that if anything should happen to him he would look out for Bella. He wants nothing more than to put her on a train back East to home. But Bella is bound and determined to stay, no matter how harsh the winter will be. Zebulon is sure he has no desire for a wife but can Bella can his mind? He finds her too proper and she finds him old and unrefined. Can a proper gentleman be hiding under all that hair? I found the characters to be spunky, fun and faithful. I loved the mules James and John that tended to act like the Sons of Thunder and found them to be an added bonus full of amusement. I give A Wedding for Bella 5 stars.

A Mirage of Snow By Lynette Sowell

Jackson Hole, Wyoming 1919.
The city of St Louis, was closing in around Billy Will Adams. So he packed up and moves back to Jackson Hole. He went to school with Emily Covington and they had been great friends until the death of Will’s father. At which time he and his mother moved back East. Now Billy had grown into Will, a lawyer and he has returned to Jackson Hole to settle down and build a practice. As Will and Emily start to develop feeling for one another Will’s ex fiancĂ©e shows up bound and determined to win his affections back. This was a sweet story of long lasting love, the characters were down home friendly and full of faith. I enjoyed Will and Emily’s story and found the author Lynette Sowell did a great job of bringing the character to life in a old fashioned love story. They were easy to fall in love with and believable. I give A Mirage of Snow 4 stars.

Winter Wonderland by Elizabeth Goddard

Jackson Hole, Wyoming 1929.
Anne Kirkland comes to Jackson Hole from Manhattan, New York, to take photographs for her fathers magazine. Once there she discovers the guide she hired has left her high and dry. Sam Covington wants to start his own guide business Anne will be his first customer. Both want their father to see them for their worth. Winter Wonderland is a great story of romance, faith and love. I feel in love with the characters and admired their strong moral ethic. Elizabeth Goddard did a great job with is story.

Sparks fly when she meets Ty Walker the local sky bum, but he has nothing to offer Haley. But after meeting her he knows she is the one. Can meeting Haley be a answered prayer?

My Review: Love in the Wind by Elizabeth Goddard

Maddie Cramer’s world has been turned around for the longest time. She finds out her dad isn’t really her dad, her parents move away, she meets her biological father for the first time and her five person crew for the regatta is missing one man. Grady Stone is to take Taylor’s place on the team to repay an old debt and had every intention of leaving to start a new life and job right after but he’s falling hard for Maddie. Because of all the emotional upheaval in her life, Maddie guards her heart but Grady is causing the walls to crack. This is a compelling story of trust and honor. The author Elizabeth Goddard did on terrific job of bringing faith into this story. It is well written, with heartwarming characters. I highly recommend this book and give it 5 stars.

Love on the Slopes by Elizabeth Goddard



Book Description:
SHANNON DE CROIX HAD BIG PLANS
But a serious injury ended her dreams of making the nation's top ski team. Now, with her handsome coach, Hudson Landers, at her side, Shannon hopes to compete again. But though she trusts Hudson's judgment, she wants to train harder.
Hudson cares too much about Shannon to let her risk her life just for the sake of competition. He fears that one more fall could destroy her future and break her heart. Can Shannon and the disabled kids he coaches show him that falling down and getting back up again is what faith and love are all about?

My Review:

Shannon de Croix’s world crashes around her when she is injured in a ski accident. Not only is her ski career now in jeopardy, but her boyfriend leaves her to chase after his own medal. Both her and her father have worked hard to build Ridgewood Ski Lodge and Ski Team in hopes that she would one day be a part of the U.S. Ski Team. She feels her father will not love her unless she is competing among those on the top ski team. Coach Hudson Landers would rather see her not compete if it is a risk to her health. Join Shannon and Hudson as they deal with guilt, life changes, and a bubbling romance.

The author Elizabeth Goddard did a great job of bringing the characters to life. Love on the Slopes is well written. I really enjoyed how she subtlety sneaked in glimpses of her faith. I highly recommend this book, you will find it to be a great clean read.
