It's an exciting place to be - a world of joy, laughter, tears, smiles, frustration, and other emotions too deep to touch.

I love all of Karen's books, and how adorable is her cover? :) I know from experience with Karen's previous novels that this one will surely be a crowd-pleaser as well. I've had the privilege of meeting Karen and teaching at writer's conferences with her, and this author knows her stuff - and knows romance. </span></span><div>

An outlaw's daughter who wants to change his mind.<br />On his way to interview for a position at a church in the Piney Woods of Texas, Crockett Archer can't believe it when he's forced off the train by an outlaw and presented to the man's daughter as the preacher she requested for her birthday. He's determined to escape-which would be much easier if he could stop thinking about Joanna Robbins and her unexpected request.<br /><br />For months, Joanna had prayed for a minister. A man to breathe life back into the abandoned church at the heart of her community. A man to assist her in fulfilling a promise to her dying mother. But just when it seems her prayers have been answered, it turns out the parson is there against his will and has dreams of his own calling him elsewhere. Is there any way she can convince Crockett he ended up right where he was supposed to be?<br /><br />With her signature blend of humor, history, and lively western romance, two-time RITA Award finalist and bestselling author Karen Witemeyer delivers a Texas love story sure to steal your heart.<br /><br /><strong>Purchase a copy here:</strong> <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001fmjtb0W7J0NMOTWW5KwGbpdFoKeWhzc-O2dN5ck4z2_D_qeyRDzfzzuL3sKvyAbjwFaeYLHJuU0i7MtKr6tMvmeloXRAQOToJb2T3YLvMak=" rel="nofollow" shape="rect" style="color: #6ba3a6; outline: 0px;" target="_blank">http://ow.ly/lnKcM</a><br /><br /><strong style="font-size: 11pt;"><img align="right" border="0" height="250" hspace="5" src="http://litfusegroup.com/wp-content/authors/KWitemeyer-165.jpg" style="border: 0px;" vspace="5" width="166" /></strong><strong>Meet Karen:</strong><br /><br />Two-time RITA finalist and winner of the coveted HOLT Medallion and ACFW Carol Award, CBA bestselling author Karen Witemeyer writes historical romance because she believes that the world needs more happily-ever-afters.

<br />
When Meg Cole's father dies unexpectedly, she's forced to return home to Texas and to Whispering Creek Ranch to take up the reins of his empire. The last thing she has the patience or the sanity to deal with? Her father's Thoroughbred racehorse farm. She gives its manager, Bo Porter, six months to close the place down.<br />
<br />
Bo knows he ought to resent the woman who's determined to take from him the only job he ever wanted. But instead of anger, Meg evokes within him a profound desire to protect. The more time he spends with her, the more he longs to overcome every obstacle that separates them and earn her love.<br />
<br />
Just when Meg realizes she can no longer deny the depth of her feelings for Bo, their fragile bond is broken by a force from Meg's past. Can their relationship-and their belief that God can work through every circumstance-survive?<br />

<br />
Dee Henderson is the bestselling, award-winning author of 15 previous novels, including the acclaimed O'MALLEY series and UNCOMMON HEROES series. These days, most authors are out there energetically promoting their books in print and broadcast and via social media—wherever they can get attention. But Dee Henderson keeps a low profile. She avoids telephone interviews because of hearing problems, declined to provide a current photo, and will say only that she lives in Illinois.<br />

It's a summer of change for Jennifer O'Malley. The busy physician has a pediatrics practice in Dallas, and meeting Tom Peterson, and falling in love, is adding a rich layer to her life. She's sorting out how to introduce him to her family--she's the youngest of seven--and thinking about marriage. <br />
<br />
She's falling in love with Jesus too, and knows God is good. But that faith is about to be tested in a way she didn't expect, and the results will soon transform her entire family. <br />
<br />

The golden age of Hollywood is in the business of creating stars. Rosie Worth, now starlet Roxy Price, has found everything she's wanted in the glamour of the silver screen. With adoring fans and a studio-mogul husband, she's finally silenced the voices-and grief-of the past. Her future shines bright...until the fated Black Friday when it all comes crashing down. When Roxy loses everything, she finds herself disgraced and penniless. Her only hope is to join forces with Belgian duke Rolfe Van Horne, a longtime film investor. But Rolfe is not who he seems, and he has other plans for Roxy and her movies-plans to support a growing unrest in Europe, plans that could break her heart and endanger her life.

<strong>MY REVIEW:</strong> I love love love this entire series. They keep getting better as they go on. I've always loved family saga type historicals, where the family line/heritage continues as the story progresses. You stay so connected to the characters, and if it's a book by Susie, these characters are going to live on in your head long after "The End" anyway ;)</div>

<div style="font-family: "Century Gothic", "ITC Avant Garde", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
Susan May Warren is one of those rare finds that seems to rock any genre she attempts, and her historicals live up to the hype. You won't be disappointed! :)</div>

<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367337299750_22194" style="margin-left: 30px;">
Amelia Barrett gave her word. Keeping it could cost her everything.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367337299750_22192" style="margin-left: 30px;">
Amelia Barrett, heiress to an estate nestled in the English moors, defies family expectations and promises to raise her dying friend's baby. She'll risk everything to keep her word-even to the point of proposing to the child's father-a sea captain she's never met.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367337299750_22198" style="margin-left: 30px;">
When the child vanishes with little more than an ominous ransom note hinting at her whereabouts, Amelia and Graham are driven to test the boundaries of their love for this little one.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367337299750_22199" style="margin-left: 30px;">
Amelia's detailed plans would normally see her through any trial, but now, desperate and shaken, she's forced to examine her soul and face her one weakness: pride.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367337299750_22200" style="margin-left: 30px;">
Graham's strength and self-control have served him well and earned him much respect, but chasing perfection has kept him a prisoner of his own discipline. And away from the family he has sworn to love and protect.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367337299750_22208" style="margin-left: 30px;">
Both must learn to have faith and relinquish control so they can embrace the future ahead of them.<span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1367337299750_22209" style="color: black;"> </span></div>

<br />
I'm officially taking a hiatus from this blog for a while, to concentrate on my other blogs that right now, have my heart. <br />
<br />
I'll be likely posting book reviews here from time to time still, though I hope to focus my book reviews eventually at <a href="http://www.writergetsreal.blogspot.com/">www.writergetsreal.blogspot.com</a>.<br />
<br />
SO! That means...<br />
<br />
You can find me 5 days a week at: <a href="http://www.writergetsreal.blogspot.com/">www.writergetsreal.blogspot.com</a><br />
You can find me every Wednesday at <a href="http://www.scribblechicks.blogspot.com/">www.scribblechicks.blogspot.com</a> <br />
You can find me the 10th and the 24th at <a href="http://www.girlsgodgoodlife.blogspot.com/">www.girlsgodgoodlife.blogspot.com</a> <br />
<br />
And you can find me the first Saturday of every month at Nicole O'Dell's CHOOSE NOW ministry, where I write a monthly column "On Good Girls". <a href="http://nicoleodell.com/2013/04/on-good-girls-get-out-of-way-already/">http://nicoleodell.com/2013/04/on-good-girls-get-out-of-way-already/</a> (most recent article)<br />
<br />
Also, look for my frequent articles at <a href="http://www.ibelieve.com/">www.ibelieve.com</a> (a division of Crosswalk)<br />
I'm still on FB and Twitter as well. <br />
<br />
Blessings! :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><table border=0>

AGGGH! Love them. The catch? Middle of the week. At 7 pm. 3 1/2 hours away. Hmmmm. <br />
<br />
Who are your fav bands? Do you like Hillsong United?<br />
<br />
Here's a taste of them if you haven't heard their stuff. <br />

<br />
I hesitate, because this is where I post book reviews, and I can't stop doing that or else I wouldn't get free books anymore ;)<br />
<br />
But my heart is over at www.writergetsreal.blogspot.com now, and I feel like I need to focus there. Plus my group blogging once a week at www.scribblechicks.blogspot.com and twice a month at www.girlsgodgoodlife.blogspot.com PLUS my monthly column for Nicole O'Dell's Choose Now ministry, PLUS my once a month (on average) articles for www.ibelieve.com - something's gotta give. lol <br />
<br />
And uh yeah I didn't even mention these things I also do like raise a child practically alone, work full time, freelance, and write books ;) Suddenly this blog doesn't seem like much of a give-up!! snort. Hmmmm.<br />
<br />
I feel like this blog has become random and filler and I hate to get rid of it, since I have the most followers here and its on my business cards and such. But I hardly ever get comments anymore, and I don't think I'm offering anything substantial here anyway, so I don't blame you.<br />
<br />
It's hard to let go.<br />
<br />
What do you guys think? (the few of you actually reading this! LOL!) Will you join me at www.writergetsreal.blogspot.com and come there regularly instead? For those already familiar with the heart of that blog, do you think posting book reviews there sometimes would be...offensive? Like, taking away from the heart of the blog? I don't want to do that.<br />
<br />
Help! I just know I can't keep spreading myself so thin or I might disappear altogether.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><table border=0>

I haven't yet, and it's truly sad) ;)<br />
<br />
Anyway....it's because...<br />
<br />
I'm going to my first Miranda Lambert concert tonight! Woohoo!<br />
<br />
I've always loved her, since I first saw her singing on her debut "Me and Charlie Talking" video many moons ago. She's really developed her style since then, and while I don't carry the nearly the grudges (wink) as she does, (jk) I really enjoy her music. And like watching Blake on "The Voice" (her husband) and think they're really an entertaining couple. They seem so real, and while they aren't necessarily role models in a lot of ways, I admire their commitment to each other in today's crazy celebrity culture. Cue hearts and arrows here...<br />
<br />
I also am friends with a girl who graduated high school with Miranda in East Texas, so that's pretty fun. She says Miranda appears to be the same way she's always been, which is also refreshing in today's Land 'O Celebrities.<br />
<br />
Do you like Miranda? Ever seen her live? I'm polishing my boots! :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><table border=0>

<br />
Embroidered cowboy boots. Cute little ballet flats with polka dots. Peep-toe 4 inch heels in a solid neutral. Low-heeled open sandals with bows. <br />
<br />
I think it's time to find a shoe sale. <br />
<br />
What about you? Does springtime ignite the whole "new shoe" fever in you too? :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><table border=0>

The day home completely alone, to relax and read and doze, is actually pretty nice...would be nicer if my stomach wasn't in knots and I could eat more than Raman noodle soup and saltines. ;) But hey. Take the good with the bad.<br />

<strong>How's a Girl to Choose?</strong></div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1364437497047_3089">
Molly Lovelace dreams of a life without cares in Lockhart, Texas. She also dreams of handsome wrangler Bailey Garner, her ardent but inconsistent beau. The problem is, with Bailey's poor prospects, she just can't fit the two dreams together.</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1364437497047_3090">
Then mysterious stranger Edward Pierrepont sweeps into town-and her life-and for the first time Molly wonders if she's met the man who can give her everything. But he won't be in Lockhart long and while it certainly seems like he talks about their glorious future together, she can't quite get Bailey out of her mind.</div>
<div>
What's a girl to do with all these decisions when love is in the balance? </div>

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt;">I have to admit, I haven't been able to read this one yet, but needed to post because of a scheduled day on the blog tour. I have to admit, as well - it looks fabulous and as soon as I'm done with a project I have to read to endorse, I'm jumping on this one. I hope you will give it a chance too!! :) It sounds great. I never thought I'd devour historical romance as I've been doing the past two years, but if you've never given the genre a try, I hope you let this novel by Regina attempt to win you over!!!</span><br />
