A NOTE FROM CINDY ~For all book lovers, on this blog spot I post information of a recently released book written by a Christian author I know. Unless stated otherwise, I haven’t read the book yet. I have two books to share with you this week.

Leaving November

(Howard Books/Simon & Schuster March 2008)

by Deborah Raney

 

     Daughter of the town drunk, Vienne Kenney has escaped Clayburn for law school in California. But after failing the bar exam, twice, she’s back home with her tail between her legs, managing Latte-dah, the Clayburn cafe-turned-upscale-coffee-shop. Jackson Linder runs the art gallery across the street and Vienne has had her eye on him since she was a skinny seventh grader and he was the hunky high school lifeguard who didn’t know she existed. Now it’s his turn to fall for her and suddenly Clayburn seems like a pretty nice place to be…until Vienne discovers that Jack is fresh out of rehab and still struggling with the same addiction that ultimately killed her father.

Only Uni

By Camy Tang

 

Will Trish Sakai be able to follow her three simple rules and hold out against two gorgeous guys?

 

Trish Sakai is ready for a change from her wild, flirtatious behavior. And her three cousins are anxious for her to change, too. Trish is always knocking something over, knocking herself out, and taking hard knocks in her perpetual confusion about men.

 

When Trish’s ex-boyfriend, Kazuo the artist, keeps popping up at all the wrong moments, Trish decides to be firm with herself. She creates three simple rules from First and Second Corinthians and plans to follow them to the letter. No more looking at men! No more dating non-Christians! She will persevere in hardship by relying on God.

 

Except now Kazuo is claiming Trish is his muse, and he can’t complete his major work of art without her. And a gorgeous coworker is reassigned, bringing him in daily contact with Trish. But her cousins are determined to hold her accountable to her plan. She thought three rules would be a cinch, but suddenly Trish’s simple rules don’t seem so simple after all.

As High as the Heavens and Stuck in the Middle

A NOTE FROM CINDY ~For all book lovers, on this blog spot I post information of a recently released book written by a Christian author I know. Unless stated otherwise, I haven’t read the book yet. I have two books to share with you this week.

 

AS HIGH AS THE HEAVENS

By Kathleen Morgan

 It is 1568 and Mary, Queen of Scots, is imprisoned in Lochleven Castle.
But her supporters, including noblewoman Heather Gordon, are planning a
rescue. Heather travels to a cottage in the frigid Highlands to teach a
simple man-who just happens to resemble someone with access to
Lochleven how to act the part of a nobleman in order to gain entry
to the castle. But in the close quarters of the cottage there is more
stirring than political rebellion.

“Kathleen Morgan weaves a love story rich in ancestry, betrayal, and
the passionate journey of two stubborn hearts destined to war and to
be conquered.”

–Tamara Alexander, bestselling author of Rekindled, Revealed, and
Remembered

Stuck in the Middle
By Virginia Smith
Revell, February 2008
 
 
Book 1 of the Sister-to-Sister series combines budding romance, soul searching, and a healthy dose of sibling rivalry that is sure to make you smile.
 
“What do you get when you have three generations of women living under one roof? Laughter, tears, and a ton of love. Smith knows how to use everyday situations in a humorous, caring way. This is a great start to a new series.”–Romantic Times (4-Star Review)
