About the Book

Title: Unseen Danger
Series: Guardians Unleashed, #3
Author: Jerusha Agen
Publisher: SDG Words, LLC
Release Date: July 27, 2023
Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

This woman and her K-9 protect others. Now who will protect them?

After a brutal attack, it took Nevaeh Williams six years to rebuild her life. Now a security specialist at the Phoenix K-9 Security and Detection Agency, she faces danger nearly every day. But when an old friend is targeted, her fragile stability begins to crumble.

Celebrity bodyguard Branson Aaberg could lose more than his career if he fails to end the mysterious threat against his client. Soon he’s more concerned with rescuing the tough but vulnerable woman who joins his security team.

Nevaeh is there to protect her friend, but what if she needs protection? What if the feeling she’s being watched isn’t the result of her traumatized imagination? If the danger is real, Nevaeh’s only hope for survival may be the God powerful enough to defeat her worst enemy—the one she doesn’t see before it’s too late.

Unseen Danger continues the thrilling story of the elite Phoenix K-9 Security and Detection Agency that began with Hidden Danger (Guardians Unleashed, #1). (Each book can stand alone or be read as series installments.)

My Review

Unseen Danger
by Jerusha Agen
Book 3 in the Guardians Unleashed series
Rating: 4.5/5

After reading Rising Danger by the author, I was so impressed and couldn’t wait to read more. I somehow missed the two books that came after but I was able to get my hands on the ARC for Unseen Danger and it did NOT disappoint! I absolutely just devoured the story. It was so good and I love the K9 unit aspect. I especially liked how the author did not shy away from exploring the aspects of trauma and its repercussions in our lives. If you are interested in a book that is full of fast-paced action and suspense with a heartwarming romance and beautiful message of faith and hope, you should read this story. You can definitely read it as a standalone but I will definitely be going back to read the other books in the series.

Highly recommend if you enjoy books that are fast-paced, delightful, suspenseful and romantic all at once!

My thanks to the author and publisher for providing me with an ARC of the book. All opinions expressed here are entirely my own. No positive review was expected and no compensation received.

Welcome to the Blog Tour for How Sweet It Is by Andrea Christenson, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: How Sweet It Is
Series: Fox Bakery #1
Author: Andrea Christenson
Publisher: Sunrise Publishing
Release Date: July 18, 2023
Genre: Christian Contemporary Romance

Sometimes the sweetest moments in life are made from the most familiar and ordinary ingredients.

Robin Fox is living out her dreams working in a gourmet bakery in Paris. She thought she’d live there forever, but when her relationship with her boss sours, those dreams crumble. She finds herself back home in Deep Haven, Minnesota, caring for her grandparents’ rundown bakery while they’re away. But she vows that when they return in six weeks, she’ll trade this ordinary life for the one she left behind.

Sammy Johnson has never gotten traction in any area of his life. This hasn’t improved in the almost two years since the accident which nearly killed him. Although his heart is still beating, it contains little passion for the life he’s living in Deep Haven. But that begins to change when he offers to help his former high school friend, Robin.

Working together to keep Fox Bakery from going under, they find more than friendship is simmering between them. But when the six weeks are up, will Robin follow her old dreams back to the glamor of Paris or will she discover how sweet it is to be loved in Deep Haven?

Return to Deep Haven with the Fox Family, where Robin and Sammy find that small town life isn’t ordinary after all.

My Review

How Sweet It Is
by Andrea Christenson
Book 1 in the Fox Bakery series
Rating: 4/5

They are back with such a sweet, flirty and fun story that made smile and laugh! I was excited to read this brand new story from Sunrise Publishing at my new favorite bakery. I really enjoyed the main characters and their perfectly imperfect selves. I could definitely see this as Hallmark Movie and I cannot wait to return to Deep Haven again and again.

The book cover design is so sweet and I can’t wait to see the other two in the series. All of the baking makes me want to bake something myself.

Highly recommend this fantastic new series set in our favorite town of Deep Haven!

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Dedicated to the One I Love by Beth K. Vogt, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: Dedicated to the One I Love
Author: Beth K. Vogt
Publisher: White Glove
Release Date: June 20, 2023
Genre: Contemporary Romance

She doesn’t believe in love anymore. He doesn’t either.

They’re perfect for each other.

Beloved romance novelist Kylie Franklin walked away from her pen-name career as bestselling and award-winning Veronica Hollins the day her husband died. Her loyal readers are eager for the final book in her sensational series. But Kylie’s given up on love, both fictional and in real life. Behind her back, Kylie’s agent contrives a way to get her writing again.

Joe Edwards has made a name for himself with his popular military suspense novels under the pen name Tate Merrick. Yet he can’t quite break onto the bestseller list. What his books need, his publisher suggests, is some romance. Joe flat refuses. However, his publisher is determined and hires Veronica Hollins to save the day—and his career.

Veronica and Tate quickly realize they’re Kylie and Joe, good friends who connected online via a popular word game and their mutual love of trivia. Surely they can wrangle their alter egos into this literary collaboration. But as the deadline looms, their differences threaten the romance developing off the page.

From a Christy Award-winning author comes this charming mash-up of hidden identities, literary tug of war, and falling in love when you least expect it.

My Review

Dedicated to the One I Love
by Beth K. Vogt
Rating: 4/5

There’s something about stories involving authors that always makes me smile. I love learning more about the creative process. I feel like this book would make a great Hallmark movie. This story is full of romance, wit, humor, and everything that makes a fun summer read! The characters are endearing and the author weaves her faith into the story without feeling too forced or overbearing. The premise is entertaining and I loved the secondary characters relationships with the main characters. I’ve read stories from this author before and her stories never disappoint.

Highly recommend this clean, fun, flirty, rom-com that will keep you reading to the end!
