Review: Recipe for Love - Small Town Shenanigans #1

Recipe for Love book cover on blue background

After reading the Clearly Christian Readathon's contemporary buddy read, I knew that I needed to continue the Small Town Shenanigans series by Penny Zeller. The next book, Recipe for Love, is an uproarious novel brimming with Christian content that will make you want to visit Cloverdale Falls.

Book Synopsis

Welcome to Cloverdale Falls, home to the famous chicken statue, new romance...and an unexpected mystery.

Rumors started flying when all of the businesses on Main Street in Cloverdale Falls sold last month. Bakery owner Maisie Carpenter finds herself appointed to uncover the mysterious new owner’s identity, and in the process, hopefully allay some of the residents' fears. What happens when she solves the mystery and discovers the man connected with purchasing the businesses is the very man she has recently fallen in love with?

Book Thoughts

H.T. has multiple meanings in this book, making it a delightful story about intrigue at first sight in the Small Town Shenanigans series. Readers will enjoy seeing what the Handsome Tourist is up to and how his presence affects a small town, bringing about some investigative services that will have you rolling with laughter as some seniors in the community take matters into their own hands. This is a book where the small town is definitely the star of the show, complete with a chicken named Henrietta.

As a result, I love that Hudson and Maisie are so active in the community and that their heart is in giving back to others. You can tell that they are both respected community members, making it easier to cheer for their budding feelings for one another. The way that Hudson treats his grandparents is a testament to his character, granting him leading hero status. I appreciate that there are open conversations about faith and that the characters live out their beliefs by how they act. If you enjoy a Christian romance with humour, small town fun, and baking along the way, Recipe for Love is as delightful and comforting as chocolate chip cookies after a splendid meal with family and friends.

Review: Shattered - Vanished #2

This is not a light read, but it's one that is captivating and thought-provoking as we see the world descend into further wickedness and lawlessness. Shattered by Dr. David Jeremiah with Sam O'Neal is the second book in the Vanished series , and it contains just as much action as the first book, with even more chilling developments for the characters. Many thanks to Thomas Nelson Fiction and NetGalley for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Review: The Accused - Secrets to Keep #2

The next book in the Secrets to Keep series , The Accused by Cara Putman takes things up a notch by taking on the case of a woman who is alone, far from family and friends, and only has one person so far who believes in her innocence. It's a riveting Christian legal suspense that brings out the true character of the people in the story. Book Synopsis When a popular college student is murdered, her international roommate, Anneliese, becomes a prime suspect. But law professor Margeaux Robbins doesn't believe that the quiet, lonely German girl in her class is the killer.
