Author: Kelly J. Goshorn
Publisher: Barbour Fiction
Release Date: August 1, 2025
Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Incognito Reporter Seeks Truth and Justice

Collect a new series of six historical romances. When life seems weighed down by challenges, there are always pillars of enduring hope and love to be discovered. 

Henrietta “Etta” Maxwell, heiress to the Maxwell fortune, is a hard-hitting investigative reporter for The Enterprise Daily. The catch? Etta must pen her columns under the nom de plume, Henry Mason—a fact that routinely puts a knot in her knickerbockers. 

Leo Eriksson is a second-generation firefighter with a passion for rendering aid to those in need. When Leo discovers that Henry Mason is really Henrietta Maxwell, the fire department’s wealthy benefactress, he agrees to keep her identity secret. 

After a sudden blast rocks the Grover Shoe Factory, Leo and Etta team up to determine if the explosion is related to a series of suspicious fires in the area. But sparks fly when Leo accuses Etta of negating the human side of the disaster in her determination to get a good story. 

Will Etta go back to her socialite comforts without her story—dragging along a broken heart?

Cover Reveal ~ Heir of Light

 

Cover Reveal day! 

 

That's right, Heir of Light, 

book four in the Blood of Kings: Legends series, 

officially has a cover. 

From the creative minds of 

Jill Williamson and Niki Florica.

 

Available to preorder at:

Other retailers: https://books2read.com/heiroflight

Sir Rigil Barak came to Land’s End expecting a routine mission: investigate some rumors, spy on some nobles, and above all, play the perfect knight. Instead, he is reunited with his less-than-shining past, the same past that keeps him on the road, fleeing his father’s scorn instead of claiming his birthright. The past with a face he never thought he’d see again . . . at least, not outside his dreams.

 

Years of captivity to a mad scholar left Sethe with a face full of scars and one rule: never be trapped again. The last thing she wants is help from Rigil, the thief-turned-knight who broke her heart and ran off with the pieces years ago. But her old captor has found her again, lured by Sethe’s unique bloodvoicing power. With a few vials of his latest discovery, he could turn her into something worse than a prisoner. He could turn her into a weapon.

 

The good news: vials can be stolen, and Rigil and Sethe always did know how to pull off a heist. For Sethe, stopping Nedir will mean trusting Rigil to have her back without letting him anywhere near her heart. For Rigil, it means a second chance with the woman he once failed. She may not be willing to hand him her heart . . . but he was a thief long before he was a knight.

 

 

Some Like it Scot ~ Review

Some Like it Scot

By Pepper Basham

Published by Thomas Nelson

Release Date: April 8, 2025

Narrated by: Joshua Manning and Stina Nielsen 

Some Like It Scot by Pepper Basham is a Christian contemporary romance. The title is an obvious play on words, which will make sense once the reader (or listener) gets into the book.

Katie Campbell is a travel writer/podcaster who is very popular and is an award-winning one at that. Katie's current assignment finds her traveling to a remote Scottish island. Now, part of Katie's popularity is that she is prone to mishaps.  (I can totally relate to this) Well, someone prone to mishaps about to experience three weeks of an "Edwardian experience" will surely result in some humorous situations.  And Katie doesn't disappoint her followers. However, Katie has a secret that has defined her existence since she was 13 years old. It has left her searching for something. And she just might find it in Scotland.

Graeme MacKerrow has become a grumpy Scot. The loss of his twin sister has made him pull in. He needs to be there for his nephew, and he wants to be close to his parents and brother.  The MacKerrow family has pulled together to buy back their ancestral home, but restoring it requires funds. Funds that Graeme does not have. But when offered to lease out the home for the short term for a tourist draw, he cannot say no. Enter the Edwardian Experience! and a group of reporters/travel writers, including a tall, red-headed, accident-prone American named Katie Campbell, who just may turn his grumpy into a smile. Unless she manages to get herself killed, by mishap, of course.

I enjoyed this book as an audiobook (thank you https://libro.fm). The narration is performed by Joshua Manning and Stina Nielsen in a back-and-forth of chapters. The narration is well executed so that one can fully enjoy the performance.  

The focus of this book is family and finding where one belongs.  Katie has never measured up to her mother's expectations, and it has shaped all her relationships with family, friends, and strangers. It has determined her life too, never staying anywhere long enough to form an attachment. But now she has three weeks before her in one place. Can she find a home in Scotland, or will this Edwardian experience cast a spotlight on all she canna have?

There is a bit too much swooning over Graeme and his looks for my personal tastes (and too much kissing), but compared to many books, this is a tame book. Seriously, any description of kissing makes me squirm, so it is probably all me. But I did enjoy the book and would be willing to enjoy another book by this author. Is there a sequel with Graeme's brother in the future?   

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book (thank you, Libro.fm) with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

Now, anyone interested in winning a paperback copy of the book should check out this post by Just Read Publicity Tours. I am sharing this as a courtesy, as I am not part of this tour. But here is the link https://justreadtours.com/2025/04/09/welcome-to-the-some-like-it-scot-takeover-review-blitz-giveaway/  You have until April 16, 2025, to enter.

She lives her life on the fly. His heart is double-knotted to home. Can two different souls create a life together?

Popular travel writer and podcaster Katie Campbell roams the world collecting other people’s stories. She’s built a career as “Miss Adventure,” known for saying yes to anything new–country, food, or experience–and predictably finding those adventures taking a downward turn into misadventures.

Offered the chance to explore her ancestral roots through a three-week Edwardian experience, Katie finds herself immersed in the beauty and eccentricity of Scotland. In her period attire, with traditional foods and activities, the opportunities for misadventures are endless, especially with the presence of a maniacal macaw, a jealous co-worker, and an all-too-surly Scotsman.

Reclusive and protective Graeme MacKerrow doesn’t venture far from his island home. A stoic Scotsman, Graeme’s comfort zone has always been family, and after his sister’s death, he’s even more determined to save the MacKerrow ancestral home and keep those he loves close. The sudden intrusion of a six-foot-one American lass, famous for her traveling misfortunes, was far from his plan.

As this world of folklore, community, and woodworkers-in-kilts tempts Katie to discover her own story, could this one grand series of misadventures lead her directly to where she belongs? And would a settled-in-Scot ever risk loosening his grip on what’s familiar to allow a wanderlust writer a home in his heart? How could their very different worlds share the same page of life’s story when “home” is in two very different places? But maybe home–and the future–isn’t quite what either one imagined it would be. Maybe home is less about a place . . . and more about a person.

These Long Shadows ~ Review

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for  

These Long Shadows by Jennifer Mistmorgan, 

hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

 

These Long Shadows
On Victory's Wings #3
By Jennifer Mistmorgan 

Katie Baines made a mistake, but her friend Jonty Ables offered to rescue her with an offer of marriage. For Katie, it hid her pregnancy and offered her baby legitimacy. For Jonty, Katie wasn't sure what it offered him. But war was gripping the world, and she accepted the help he offered.

 

Two years later, the war in Europe was over, but Katie and Jonty are now facing a marriage that Katie views as being built on a lie. With her baby dead, Katie has not yet healed from the loss, and Jonty is left unsure how to help her. 

These Long Shadows finds Katie and Jonty trying to understand who they are now that the war has ended. But shadows from the past have scarred them both. How do you determine who you are, not only as a person, but as the other half of a married couple? Amid a country rebuilding, Jonty and Katie must do the same - rebuild their lives and their marriage, starting with the foundation. Some things are worth fighting for. This is a story of the heart and well worth reading. Though part of a series, this book can easily be read and enjoyed as a standalone title. Perfect for fans of WW2 fiction, second chances, romance, and intrigue. 

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own

 

About the Book

Title: These Long Shadows
Series: On Victory's Wings #3
Author: Jennifer Mistmorgan
Publisher: Independently Published
Release Date: March 21, 2025
Genre: Historical Romance WWII

How do they rebuild a marriage that wasn’t real in the first place? 

London, 1945: Two years ago, Jonty Ables married Katie Baines to save her and her unborn baby from shame. But now the war is all but over, the baby is gone and they must work out where their shaky marriage fits into lives irrevocably changed by war. 

Clinging to the memory of a time before all happiness evaporated, Katie works hard during the day as a seamstress. At night she comes home to a tiny terrace on a bomb-scarred street, crammed with her extended family and their problems. Years of estrangement sit between her and her recently demobilized husband. She’s not even sure she loves him, so why is she so crushed that he calls out another woman’s name in his sleep? 

Jonty is determined to honor the vows he made no matter how many ghosts now plague him, but with such separate lives his wife is more of a stranger than ever. When Katie’s friend goes missing, Jonty seizes the opportunity to help her find him just so they have a reason to talk. But the war casts long shadows over their efforts, and fighting for their future might just be the hardest battle of them all.  

If you love epic wartime romance with a dash of intrigue, you’ll love this second-chance, marriage-of-convenience love story.

Enchanting Thorns ~ Review

Enchanting Thorns: A Sleeping Beauty Retelling
Fairy Tales of Gallia #2
By Ashley Evercott

All Brie wants to do is prove herself to her family. Yeah, that doesn't happen, instead she discovers dangerous dark thorns consuming her world. But as the only human being to see the deadly darkness encroaching on her family's farm, she has zero credibility in her family's eyes. Then she learns that a curse is bleeding through from the fae world into hers. To save those she loves, she must break the curse.

 

Kiss the prince, break the curse, sounds easy, right? Yeah, not so much. All it does is wake Roran, a grumpy prince, who is put out that a human woke him. And now he is stuck with her, and she's trapped in the fae realm. Somehow the prince woke up, but the rest of the fae are still trapped in the curse and the portal between the realms is closed. 

 

These two, Brie and Roran must break the curse and maybe learn to work together. After a less than perfect first meeting that found these two more likely to argue than work on finding a cure for the curse. This is an original take on Sleeping Beauty.  A fun and imaginative story that won't be mistaken for the original Disney movie.  Join Brie and Roran as they step into the unknown to save their realms and those most dear to them.    

 

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

 

 

About the Book:

A Kiss to Wake a Fae Prince, 

A Curse to Destroy the Realms

Brie has always been able to sense malicious auras, and when shadowy thorns consume the forest, she’s horrified to learn that no one else can see the danger threatening her home. Desperate for answers, Brie is summoned by an Enchanter, who reveals she is the only one to save the human world by breaking the spell of a sleeping fae prince–with a kiss.

Roran dreaded the day he would fall under his curse, knowing he would be bound in marriage to whoever woke him. However, nothing prepares him for a human stranger to kiss him awake, and to make matters worse, his entire kingdom is still trapped under the sleeping enchantment. Now bound to Brie, they must embark on a journey to track down the witch responsible for the curse.

Together, they face perilous dangers and unexpectedly find themselves drawn to each other through mysterious dreams. But if they don’t learn to trust one another, the curse will unravel their worlds like a waking nightmare.

Enchanting Thorns is a new adult Sleeping Beauty retelling and book two of the Fairy Tales of Gallia series. Although this story is set hundreds of years before book one, each book is a standalone novel within the same world. Perfect for readers who enjoy no-spice romance, slow burn, magic, and a cupful of angst. Happily ever after, guaranteed.
