CFBA: Nothing But Trouble by Susan May Warren

Song Stuck on the Brain: A Whole New World from Aladdin's Soundtrack. It was a passing phrase from a co-worker that set it off. Now I have it stuck on everyone's brain. It's like ID the Musical, we're all breaking out into song. :)

This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing:

Nothing But Trouble

by

Susan May Warren
Tyndale House Publishers (May 1, 2009)







ABOUT THE BOOK:

PJ Sugar knows three things for sure:

1) After traveling the country for ten years hoping to shake free from the trail of disaster that's become her life, she needs a fresh start.

2) The last person she wants to see when she heads home for her sister's wedding is Boone-her former flame and the reason she left town.

3) Her best friend's husband absolutely did not commit the first murder Kellogg, Minnesota, has seen in more than a decade.

What PJ doesn't know is that when she starts digging for evidence, she'll uncover much more than she bargained for-a deadly conspiracy, a knack for investigation, and maybe, just maybe, that fresh start she's been longing for.

It's not fair to say that trouble happens every time PJ Sugar is around, but it feels that way when she returns to her home town, looking for a fresh start. Within a week, her former teacher is murdered and her best friend's husband is arrested as the number-one suspect. Although the police detective investigating the murder—who also happens to be PJ's former flame—is convinced it's an open-and-shut case, PJ's not so sure. She begins digging for clues in an effort to clear her friend’s husband and ends up reigniting old passions, uncovering an international conspiracy, and solving a murder along the way. She also discovers that maybe God can use a woman who never seems to get it right

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Susan grew up in Wayzata, a suburb of Minneapolis, and became an avid camper from an early age. Her favorite fir-lined spot is the north shore of Minnesota is where she met her husband, honeymooned and dreamed of living.

The north woods easily became the foundation for her first series, The Deep Haven series, based on a little tourist town along the shores of Lake Superior. Her first full-length book, Happily Ever After, became a Christy Award Finalist published in 2004 with Tyndale/Heartquest.

As an award winning author, Susan returned home in 2004, to her native Minnesota after serving for eight years with her husband and four children as missionaries with SEND International in Far East Russia. She now writes full time from Minnesota's north woods and the beautiful town that she always dreamed of living in.

SPECIAL: Taming Rafe by Susan May Warren

Song Stuck on the Brain: I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston

It all started because our entire network, internet included, crashed at work late Weds afternoon. They finally came back online today around noon. The IT guys kept asking me this morning to check and see if I could get my system up, and my consistent response was, "I have nothing." Which then prompted me to serenade them. I think we all were glad when the system finally came on line.



***Special Blog Tour ***




Today I'm hosting a special blog tour for:


by

book 2 in the Noble Legacy



About the Book:


In less than eight seconds, two-time world champion bull rider Rafe Noble lost his title, his career, his best friend—all on the dirt floor of a noisy rodeo arena. Now he has no choice but to head back to the Silver Buckle, but not before he accidentally destroys philanthropist Katherine Breckenridge’s NY Charity event. Now she’s in town, wanting his money – or his help. And the last thing this broken bull rider is going to do is give her his heart. But Nick’s little brother is going to learn just was it takes to tame the heart of a rebel…

My Take:

I posted a review for the first book, Reclaiming Nick back in March of '07. I really enjoyed Nick's story, so when I had the opportunity to review the next book, I jumped on it. And I'm SOOO glad I did. Rafe's story is even better. Maybe because I was already immersed in the world Susan created, or maybe because Rafe is a little more my type, either way, I loved this book. The plot is strong and the relationships believable. Even compelling. Book three is coming and I can guarantee it's already on my TBR list.

About the Author:

Susan May Warren is the author of more than 17 novels. She has a degree in Mass Communications from the University of MN and has spent time in the mission field in Russia. She's happily married and the mother of four children.
Just For Fun:
Susan is in full swing with promotions for this fantastic book, so here is some fun stuff you can do in addition to reading the books.

Read the first chapter of Taming Rafe.

Enter to win a steak dinner with Rafe. (Mmmm, Omaha Steaks!)

I really can't recommend this book enough. I could hardly put it down. I hope you take the chance to check it out yourself. If you do, be sure and let me know what you thought.

Happy Reading,
