Never Miss by Melissa Koslin

Kadence Tolle is a former CIA sniper who is on the run.  She possesses a special set of skills that can't be outmatched.  While on the run she saves the life of Lyndon Vaile.  She looks at him as nothing but a geek and nerd.  Little does she realize he has talents of his own.  Not only does he have three doctorates, but he has fighting skills of his own.  They discover someone is about to launch a bioattck at the State of the Union address.  But no one will listen to their warnings.  Soon they discover that they have connections to the one behind the attack.  

I wouldn't necessarily call this a Christian book.  There are a very few references to God.  There is no foul language, sex scenes, or violence.  So I would class it as a clean read.  If you like suspense, this is the book for you. The only problem I had with the book is that the ending was rather abrupt. I will looking for future books by this author.

This is book two in the Hanger's Horseman series.  It's not necessary to read book one to understand this book.  But book one is great also.  So why not read it first.  For light hearted romance to a little bit of mystery this is the book for you.

Dreams Rekindled by Amanda Cabot

This is the second book in the Mesquite Springs Series.  It is not necessary to read the first book.  But it does explain a few things in book 2

Dreams Rekindled is about Dorothy Clark who has dreams about becoming a writer.  In the 1860's women did not become writers.  They were expected to get married and have children.  Dorothy is filling in for her new sister in law at her restaurant while she is on her honeymoon.  While doing that she discovers a newspaper has come to town.  Brandon Holloway has just come to town open a newspaper.  Where he came from erupted into violence regards to slavery.  His father has also just died.  And he blames himself.  Phil the trouble maker comes to town spreading all kinds of gossip.  His sole purpose is to divide the town and make it so his boss can buy up property.

This book should make up stop and think when we hear gossip.  Is it the truth or is it a lie to spread division.  

A good book that shows how events can shape our lives.  We need to delve into them and resolve them.
