Nowhere to Turn by Lynette Eason

  Lynette Eason

About the Book: Nowhere to Turn, Hidden Identity – Book 2
The day Danielle Harding takes her 11-year-old son, Simon, and flees from her abusive husband, is the same day Kurt Harding dies. A relieved Dani believes she and her son are finally safe–but in reality, the danger has just begun. When Kurt was alive, he took something important to a mysterious person. That person wants the item back and believes Dani now has it. As she and her son run for their lives, they have nowhere to turn, until she hires Adam Buchanan of Operation Refuge and goes into hiding. Unfortunately, she won’t be able to hide for long . . .

My Review: Nowhere to Turn Book 2 in Hidden Identity
by Lynette Eason

Danielle Harding thought after her abusive husband passed away she could finally live a normal life. After being trapped for twelve years , it’s time to show her hearing impaired son a ordinary life. She feels she is finally safe but within six months she realizes she is no safer than before. Her brother in law is stalking her. Someone is trying to kill her. With nowhere to go she turns to Adam Buchanan of Operation Refuge to protect her and her son. And then the action starts, danger is everywhere they turn. What seems like an open and shut stalking case soon proves to be so much more. Who can she trust and where can she hide.

I give Nowhere to Turn 5 stars. It was fast paced, with a little romance, and lots of suspense. Lynette Eason is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. She did an outstanding job of brining the character to life in a believable fashion. Nowhere to Turn is part of a Hidden Identity series but can be read as a stand alone. Book 1 No One to Trust is also a 5 star fantastic read.

I want to give a high-five to the author Lynette Eason and publisher Revell for bringing compelling Christian books that are entertaining and give hope to the reader with stories of faith. I was provided with this book in exchange for my honest review and I am so grateful for the authors and publishers generosity.



No One to Trust, Hidden Identity – Book 1
Summer Abernathy wakes up one morning to find her husband missing, three men in her home intent on finding him, and the life she’s been living based on a lie. Which Kyle Abernathy did she marry? The computer programmer she met in line at the bank? Or the one who was apparently using that image as a cover story?
The search for her husband–and answers–takes Summer ever deeper into a world of organized crime where people are used one moment and discarded the next. And with her deepest relationship of trust already shattered, Summer doesn’t know who to believe.
 
My Review: No One to Trust is a fantastic fast paced read that is sure to keep you at the edge of your seat. If you love Christian, Romance, or Suspense Fiction this is the book for you. It is a full of action, suspense, faith, and betrayal. No one is who they seem to be. Summer Abernathy wakes up to a nightmare. Her husband is missing, not who he says he is and a madman is trying to kill her. Kyle or David wakes up in the hospital knowing he has to get to his wife because his past has caught up to him. Together they fight to stay alive. David is part of the Witness Protection Program and his cover has been blown. He has deceived the woman he loves and is ready to fight for his life and wife. Read No One to Trust to see if their marriage can survive the lies and betrayal.

The author Lynette Eason has created believable characters, mystery around every corner and throws in unbreakable faith. I was able to read this book in a few hours because I could not put it down. If it were possible to give this book higher than five stars I would.

I want to give a high-five to the author Lynette Eason and publisher Revell for bringing compelling Christian books that are entertaining and give hope to the reader with stories of faith. I was provided with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review and I am so grateful for the authors and publishers generosity.

My Amish Boyfriend by Melody Carson


My Amish Boyfriend By Melody Carlson
 
My Amish Boyfriend
 

Overview:

Shannon's summer just got a whole lot more . . . Amish?
Shannon McNamara has exciting plans for the summer—getting her driver's license, a job, and more—and she can't wait to dive in. But her ill mother has plans of her own: to relocate them both to the heart of Amish country in Ohio where she has relatives who can help her.
Turns out a "simple" life is actually a lot of hard work. But when a hot young Amish guy named Ezra enters the picture, Shannon's ready to get an Amish makeover and even consider making it a permanent change. Will these plans come crashing down around her too? Or can she really make the jump into a whole new way of life?
Teen favorite Melody Carlson brings fans another surprising story of worlds—and families—colliding.


My Review:

When 16 year old Shannon McNamara’s mother becomes ill her summer plans take a drastic turn. Shannon is a born and breed city girl but circumstances force her to spend the summer with her Amish grandparents she didn‘t know she had. Too her surprise Shannon takes to the simple life of the Amish. Life gets even better when she meets Ezra the handsome boy next door. He was raised Amish and is trying to figure out if he will be baptized or move on as an Englisher. Read this great book to see if Shannon and Ezra can make a go out of it. I enjoyed watching her grow and mature as she worked hard at being Amish and feel in love. I highly recommend this book and promise you will not be disappointed by it.

I did not realize when I got this book it was Teen Fiction. Although this book can be found in the teen section it can be read and enjoyed by all lovers of Amish Fiction, by teens and adults alike. I found it very well written and really enjoyed My Amish Boyfriend. I give this book 4 stars. It is full of twists and turns, faith and family dynamics.

I want to thank the author Melody Carlson and publisher Revell for bringing good clean Christian books like this one to readers like me. I was provided with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
