Emma, Mr. Knightley, and Chili-Slaw Dogs (Austen Takes the South 2)

Mary Jane Hathaway

Price: FREE

Emma was not my favorite Austen title. However, I loved this southern adaptation. The characters were engaging and a lot of fun to read. Each chapter started with a quote from Emma which gave insight into the mood of the characters without giving away the plot. I found this book thoroughly delightful.

Caroline Ashley is a journalist on the rise at the Washington Post until the sudden death of her father brings her back to Thorny Hollow to care for her mentally fragile mother. The only respite from the eternal rotation of bridge club meetings and garden parties is her longtime friend, Brooks Elliott. A professor of journalism, Brooks is the voice of sanity and reason in the land of pink lemonade and triple layer coconut cakes. But when she meets a fascinating, charismatic young man on the cusp of a brand new industry, she ignores Brooks’ misgivings and throws herself into the project.
Brooks struggles to reconcile his parents’ very bitter marriage with his father’s devastating grief at the recent loss of his wife. Caroline is the only bright spot in the emotional wreckage of his family life. She’s a friend and he’s perfectly happy to keep her safely in that category. Marriage isn’t for men like Brooks and they both know it… until a handsome newcomer wins her heart. Brooks discovers Caroline is much more than a friend, and always has been, but is it too late to win her back?
With a scheming playboy, a feisty grandmama, a crooked antiques dealer, some contra dancing and a returning cast of Civil War re-enactors, ‘Emma, Mr. Knightley, and Chili-Slaw Dogs’ brings you back to a modern South only Jane Austen could have imagined.
** This book is filed under Christian romance. The religious theme is very light. (Those are two separate warnings for those who prefer to avoid religious characters in their fiction and those who want a stronger religious theme.) This not a novel of characters seeking salvation, but rather people who try to find their way in the world, as confusing as it is sometimes. Enjoy!**

Sapphire Ice (Christian Romance) (The Jewel Series)

Hallee Bridgeman

Price: $0.99

Whatever your preconceived notions of a romance novel are, forget them because this is what true romance writing is. Seriously, if you want to read a wholesome romance without the junk, read this book! I honestly don’t even like romance novels (religious or not) and I absolutely loved Sapphire Ice. Great character development, great storyline, a great message. I can’t wait to read the rest of the trilogy.

To Robin Bartlett, men were nothing more than violent users. After a hair-raising childhood, Robin and her two younger half sisters battled simply to survive. Determined to give her sisters a very different life from that of their mother; to never have to rely on a man for anything, she worked two jobs and put them both through college, while accepting help from no one. Her heart had turned to ice and she had no use for men or God.

Antonio “Tony” Viscolli had grown up on the streets, homeless. At seventeen, he entered a downtown church with the intent of casing it, but found himself on his knees at the alter. After being fostered by the youth minister, Tony followed God’s leading and eventually became a very successful and powerful businessman. In a fallen world, he was a gem.

When Tony bought the restaurant where Robin bartended, she immediately resented his intrusion into her well ordered, but exhausting, life. She suspected his offering her special attention and constant kindness was merely his way of expecting something from her in return, something she wasn’t willing to give.

Tony knew God had led him to Robin. Would she ever allow herself to trust him? Could she ever allow herself to trust God? Or would the winter of their tragic youth rise from the shadows of the past and freeze any chance at happiness?

The Chase: A Novel (Crime Scene: Houston)

DiAnn Mills

Price: $1.99

Christian Romantic Suspense is my favourite genre, and The Chase ticks all the boxes – likeable and intelligent heroine, hardworking and heroic hero, with a lot of action, some humour, a growing relationship, a strong cast of supporting characters and an underlying Christian theme.
