Musings by Erin

  Becky Wade is one of the many fantastic contemporary romance authors in the Christian fiction community. Her current series, Sons of Scandal, follows the 3 sons of retired pro football player Felix Camden. Because of Felix's affairs, all of his children were considered sons of scandal. This series touched on each one (as well as his ex-wife Fiona, whose story thread stretches through each book). Uneasy Street is the 3rd and final story and is about Max, whose mother was the housekeeper for the Camden family. Here's a bit about the book: Once upon a time Max Cirillo and Sloane Madison were close friends and business partners. But when their business relationship imploded, so did the friendship. Now, four years later, Max is a rich CEO. Sloane’s a not-so-rich etiquette expert who returns to Maine to serve as her niece’s temporary guardian and help the girl search for her birth father. Sloane and her niece move into a darling garage apartment but Sloane’s joy in their accommodat...

  Any time I'm looking for a light-hearted, but still deep story, I know I need not look any further than Pepper Basham. I absolutely adored her recent Skymar series and so when I saw her next book took place in Scotland, I knew I wanted to snatch it up, so I jumped at a chance to read an early copy. And it did not disappoint! Here's a bit about the book: An American travel writer who has never found a place to belong and a reclusive Scot with a surprising secret find a shocking connection when she enters a Highlands manor house that has been turned into a three-week long Edwardian experience. Katie Campbell has traveled her entire life. As the daughter of an army chaplain, changing homes--or even countries--was commonplace, so when her wild childhood storytelling turned into a lucrative career as a travel writer, she thought she'd found her perfect match. But as she's nearly thirty with no real place to settle down, she's starting to wonder where "home" a...

  Nicole Deese is a newer voice in the realm of contemporary Christian stories, but she's on my short list of auto-read authors and authors whose backlist I plan to complete this year. Her current series is the Fog Harbor series. Fog Harbor is a fictional publishing house and the books take on views of various elements of publishing, in a minor sense (it's what ties the series together). This book looks at audio book production, which is the avenue through which our main characters meet. Here's a bit about the book: Sophie Wilder returns home to California with nothing more than a failed Broadway career and a geriatric cat. Stuck working at the family winery with her egotistical brother and desperate for a way to revive her acting dreams, she takes a side gig as an audiobook narrator with Fog Harbor Books. But getting mixed up in the life of her reluctant sound engineer was never a part of her plans. August Tate is still reeling from taking guardianship of his teen sister. ...
