Hello From Janet

What are some of your favorite Music Artists & Why? (Any Genre of Music)

2012-01-27T16:02:00.001-05:00

My favorite artist is Kenny Chesney because for the "Most Part" he is a clean artist. He seems to be pretty grounded and seems to care about his fans. His songs tell a story which is refreshing to me because a lot of today's country music does not tell a story anymore.

Review of Janet Tronstad's Sleigh Bells for Dry Creek

2012-01-20T18:46:00.001-05:00

I thought this book was just a romance novel, but it is much more than that. Janet gives a surprising twist that you do not expect......... there is also a murder involved. I love romantic suspense!
Gracie Stone goes to prison for a crime she doesn't commit.Wade Stone, Gracie's son, leaves town after his mom goes to prison and joins the Rodeo. Amy Mitchell, Wade's childhood sweetheart is devastated and lost when Wade decides to leave. In order to fill that void in her heart, she puts all her time and effort into taking care of her Aunt Tilly and Grandpa. Wade tries to fill his void with the rodeo. Shawn Garrett, one of Wade and Amy's childhood classmates, is interested in Amy but her heart belongs to Wade.Shawn tries too hard to be accepted and attempts to fill his void with politics. Wade, Amy, & Shawn have different emotional issues but the same wall they have built around their hearts causes relationship problems in their lives.
I'm not going to tell who committed the murder; you will have to read the book to find out.

There are three books in these series--- I can sum the whole series up in one word --AWESOME--

From Ashes to Honor

2011-09-23T22:08:00.000-04:00

If he had only answered that last phone call from the World Trade Center . . .

Minutes before two jumbo jets changed U.S. history, New York police officer Austin Finley ignored the call from his brother, who’d been bugging him for days. Trying to live with his one regret causes hatred and bitterness to consume Austin, and when counselor Mercy Samara recommends desk duty, Austin resigns. Haunted by her own memories of 9/11, Mercy takes a job as a school counselor in Baltimore. When Austin, now an EMT, responds to an emergency at Mercy’s school, both are stunned and wary.

Finally their common—and painful—memories turn suspicion into friendship, then romance.

But hard questions linger: Can they truly move beyond their past harsh judgments and harsh words? Will their past finally bring them closer or—as the tenth anniversary of 9/11 draws near—drive them farther apart?

This book had me hooked from the first sentence........Loree has a way of drawing you in from the get-go! The way she describes details makes readers feel as if they are part of the story. Her characters are "Real People with Real Problems"..........I think this is what endears her to her readers. The characters deal with everyday trials and struggles and people relate to other people who are dealing with the same things they are dealing with.

Austin & Mercy both have emotional issues neither wants to admit to. Austin has anger issues that causes him to build a wall around his heart. Mercy has security issues that causes her to build a wall around her heart.........Both have different issues but the same wall causes relationship issues in their lives.

This is one of the best books I have ever read! Loree has a wonderful God -Given talent that she chooses to share with the world! I am so honored to call her my friend

Delivered With Love by Sherry Kyle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a really good book! I won it on Margaret Daley blog! The characters are well written and really down to earth......You feel as if you are there with them!! It is a story of forgiveness of oneself and others. It is also one of second chances. It also tells us when we give our WHOLE lives to CHRIST, everything else falls into place.Also it teaches us not to hold grudges because they hurt us in the long run. It is just an overall good book!!!! I hope she makes it into a series because I would love to get to know the characters better.
