To Write A Wrong by Jen Turano

 




As I always say, cheer up, read a Jen Turano book! Intensely satisfying, madcap entertainment that pulls on your heart strings and keeps you in stitches, in all seriousness. Attempted murder, a new type of case for the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency. And a new type of client, a man. Daphne was in the office typing on her new novel when Herman dashed in for help, even though they were closed. She was not an Agent of the street, but didn't want to lose the case, especially after she became intrigued by his dilemma. Besides, she is a writer and can use new experiences to enrich her books. Herman also is a writer, a well known one whom she respects, so maybe he can help her where she's stuck in her story. But she can't reveal that she writes books, and that she is successful, since she is a woman. Women writers are not accepted in this time, and her pseudonym is well known. There are a lot of things that are not acceptable for women to do, but this agency is dedicated to balancing those wrongs and making women feel safe, giving them the help they need. In typical Jen style the story rolls along at a furious pace. It's hard to find a place to set it down, and in the latter part of the book it's hard to breathe as well, but you have a smile on your face all the while. Whirlwind story that is tongue in cheek for writers. Fantastically loveable characters that are so very real. You'll never be sorry to read a Jen Turano book! Fabulous, satisfying escape.

When Twilight Breaks by Sarah Sundin

 




Another masterpiece from Sarah Sundin. Christian historical. Germany 1938. Peter is teaching in Munich, Americans to speak German fluently. Evelyn is a reporter who would prefer to be reporting from Berlin. She's fiercely independent, wanting to be taken seriously, a serious writer. And she's good, but the editor keeps censoring out content to make her articles more pro German. They are just beginning to see Hitler for what he is, and she wants her readers to know and realize. At first Peter only sees what the Germans who welcome Hitler's leadership see. Little by little things are revealed to him. With his contacts he can help get inside information to Evelyn. She had been treated badly before, and doesn't trust men. Little by little both have their eyes opened. It gets very hold-your-breath dangerous and I guarantee you won't want to put it down. Many gems of wisdom.

Great entertainment! When I was reading it I didn't realize this was part of a series. It is fine as a stand alone. Betsy is a strong, independent woman with talent who is struggling. She has great love for her family, but is an old maid by many standards and still lives with them. Her hope is to earn enough money to support herself.

Joel is the new Deputy in town, trying to fit in and earn respect. He’s a strong advocate of the law, and has a tough time with the locals who are trying to punish wrong-doers on their own. He’s got a past that he’d just as soon not have revealed to everyone, but Betsy’s good intentions can get him into trouble.

Very well written and engaging. You’ll enjoy getting into the heads of these characters. Great Christian message throughout. Love that cover!

From the Publisher:
Jennings Offers Another Delightful Blend of History and Romance

Betsy Huckabee might be a small-town girl, but she has big-city dreams. Writing for her uncle's newspaper will never lead to independence, and the bigger newspapers don't seem interested in the Hart County news. Trying a new approach, Betsy pens a romanticized serial for the ladies' pages, and the new deputy provides the perfect inspiration for her submissions. She'd be horrified if he read her breathless descriptions of him, but these articles are for a newspaper far away. No one in Pine Gap will ever know.

Deputy Joel Puckett didn't want to leave Texas, but this job in tiny Pine Gap is his only shot at keeping his badge. With masked marauders riding every night, his skills and patience are tested, but even more challenging is the sassy journalist lady chasing him.
