Canadian Authors

Canadian Christian Authors text on blue floral background with outline of map of Canada beside a reader icon holding a book with a maple leaf on the spine and the christianshelves.blogspot.com logo beneath

This is by no means the first list or the most comprehensive list, but I wanted to dedicate a space to the Canadian Christian authors I've either read for a long time or have recently discovered.

The inspiration for this list comes from I Read Canadian Day, which is on the first Wednesday of November each year. I have linked directly to the author's books on Amazon, along with a website if applicable.

If this list grows, I'm happy to further separate authors out by genres, etc. so for now, happy scrolling (list is in alphabetical order by author's last name; in the case of double-barrelled last names being filed in a different order, please let me know and I'll fix it).

Review: Her Off-Limits Charity Date - Unexpected Dates #3

Happy release day to the third book in the Unexpected Dates series ! Her Off-Limits Charity Date  by Liwen Y. Ho  is a perfect book for summer, and involves a soft-hearted zombie actor with a penchant for cooking. Now who doesn't want to learn more about a man who can do both?! Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Book Synopsis The one man I’m falling for is the one man I absolutely shouldn’t want. As a professional event planner, I’m used to managing chaos. My own love life, however, is another story. Especially after I meet my brother’s new brother-in-law and discover he looks like he walked straight out of a romance novel. Tall? Check. Piercing blue eyes? Check. Broody enough to make my heart do inconvenient things? Double check. Unfortunately, Zane Beckett also happens to be a famous actor. And our first meeting gets off to a rocky start when he finds out I’ve never seen any of his movi...

Happy Release Day to Borrowed Sunshine!

Happy release day to  Ivy Emerson ! 🎉 Borrowed Sunshine  is the second book in the  Hilton Head Island series  and it's available today! I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Weston and Becky in the first book,  Kayak Girl , and getting to know their story in  Borrowed Sunshine . Some of the tropes include: ✅ Grumpy/Sunshine ✅ Enemies to lovers-ish ✅ Complex Characters ✅ Sizzling Chemistry (without the spice) ✅ Dual POV ✅ Gentle Christian Themes ✅ HEA I'm so grateful that I've been able to read this series; it's definitely become one of my favourites from this year! I reviewed  Kayak Girl   last month, and the review for  Borrowed Sunshine  will be forthcoming.
