/ Dora Hiers / 9 Comments
The Edgy Christian Fiction Lovers Summer Blog Tour finally arrived at my place!! Yay! Check out my choices for Hot Summer Reads.
Purple Knot by Raquel Byrnes
HURRICANE ALERT! LEAVE THE UMBRELLA! GRAB THE KIDS, AND HIT THE CONDO!
Reyna, returns to the life she fled to solve her best friend’s murder. Forced to join with her ex-fiance, Jimmy, as their romance relights, so do the memories of the tragedy that tore them apart. Can they stop a killer before it’s too late for a second chance at love? Purple Knot is Raquel’s first book, but you’d never know. Ahhh. What a wonderful romance she weaves in the midst of sleuthing for a murderer! Amazing! I’ll definitely be looking for the sequel, Ruby Dawn. Available through White Rose Publishing. Amazon
A Killer Among Us by Lynette Eason
CAUTION: READ ONLY DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. PUT AWAY AT DUSK. IF YOU MUST CONTINUE READING, TURN ON ALL THE LIGHTS!
Oh my stars! Are there really people in the world like this? Yowzee! If you’re looking for a book packed with action and a sprinkling of romance, this book is a must. You’ll find yourself holding your breath as you track down a serial killer with Noah and Kit. Can you guess who The Judge is before he strikes again? Amazon

Marked for Murder by Lauren Nichols
PERFECT FOR BEACH OR POOLSIDE.
Yeah, yeah. I hear you. So this book isn’t new, but the author’s new to me. Give me a break. Lauren did a great job setting up the conflict between Margo and Cole. The plot kept me interested and guessing the identity of the murderer until close to the end. A perfect balance between suspense and romance, I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more books by Lauren Nichols. Amazon



Journey’s End by Dora Hiers
NOT FOR BEACH READING! YOUNG CHILDREN AT RISK OF DROWNING.
Packed with action and loaded with romance, you might find yourself immersed in what’s happening with Trey and Chelsea and not see the wave threatening to drown your children. Check out the video on the right. A brutal murder…a devastated life rebuilt…where one journey ends, another begins. Sweet, sweet, sweet! A MUST read for the summer. OK, OK. Shameless plug, I know. Available through White Rose Publishing. Amazon

That’s it for me. Take a chance on these books and stop back by here and let me know what you think, OK? Enjoy the rest of your summer! Check out the rest of the blog stops at Edgy Christian Fiction Lovers.

~ that my hubby likes to eat out…frequently. Hmmm, wonder what that says about my cooking?

~ for the scent of freshly mowed grass, especially when I did the mowing.

~ for a tall glass of iced tea on a hot day. OK, maybe several glasses.

~ for a glimpse of deer grazing in the park during an evening walk. 

~ for the first hint of crispness in the air. Mmm. That means we’re sliding into my favorite time of the year ~ Fall->Winter->Spring. A recent NC transplant after living in FL most of my life, I LOVE the changing seasons! 

What about you? 
What are your thanks givings today?
