MY TAKE:
Yay! Another great by a home state girl. :)
ABOUT THE BOOK:
For the past seven years, Ginger Freeman has had one goal: find Grant Kelley and make him pay for allowing her brother to die. Growing up motherless with a father who leads an outlaw gang, Ginger isn’t exactly peaches and cream. So when she finally tracks down Grant on a wagon train headed west, she figured providence had stepped in and given her the chance she’s been waiting for.
On the wagon train, finally surrounded by a sense of family and under the nurturing eye of Toni Rodde, Ginger begins to lose her rough edges. She’s made friends for the first time and has become part of something bigger than revenge. Not only has her heart softened toward people in general, but God has become a reality she never understood before. And watching Grant doctor the pioneers, she’s realized she can’t just kill him and leave the train without medical care. Putting her anger aside, before long, Ginger’s a functioning part of the group.
But when the outlaw gang, headed by her pa, shows up and infiltrates the wagon train, she is forced to question her decision. Only self-sacrifice and her new relationship with God can make things right. But it might also means she loses everything she’s begun to hold dear.

CFBA: That's (Not Exactly) Amore by Tracey Bateman

That's (Not Exactly) Amore
by
Tracey Bateman FaithWords (August 14, 2008)
MY TAKE:
Three cheers for a fellow Missouri girl! Tracey's latest is a great read. I don't know if it's because she's a Missourian or if it's just that she has a mind like mine (heaven help her, let's hope it's the Missouri angle), but there was a point early in the book where I exclaimed out loud, "Oh, my gosh! Laini is me!" Well, okay, a smaller version, but still when you can identify that strongly with a character, it's a real plus. The great thing is, I think most women would identify with Laini.
When you get down to it, the book has more to it than a bowlful of laughs. There's real heart and depth. I'll admit, I didn't get to read books one and two, but they're on my TBR list now. How could I not want to read them after such a great experience with Laini?
ABOUT THE BOOK:
When Laini Sullivan lands a job designing Nick Pantalone's coffee shop, there are two problems: one, Nick's nephew Joe hates all of her ideas and two, Laini has to admit he's right--she's a disaster at design. Still, she can't risk losing the job. To compromise, Joe brings in help on the project, while Laini continues to bake the goodies that keep his customers lining up.
Their relationship is moving along, so when new guy Officer Mark Hall implies that Joe's family is tied to the mob, Laini doesn't want to believe it. But things spin out of control when she meets the family, including "the uncles," who seem to confirm Mark's suspicions. To make things worse, Nana Pantalone makes it clear Laini isn't the kind of girl she has in mind for her grandson. Laini's not sure if she should give Joe the benefit of the doubt or just set her sites on Mark and fuhgetaboutit.

CFBA: Defiant Heart by Tracey Bateman
Song Stuck on the Brain: If You're Going Through Hell by Rodney Atkins
"If you're going through hell/Keep on going, don't slow down/If you're scared, don't show it/You might get out/Before the devil even knows you're there."
There must be some kind of Freudian reason this chorus keeps running through my head.
