Ready to Trust by Tina Radcliffe




Because the picture of the main character, Reece Rainbolt, is on the cover of Tina Radcliffe’s new book, Ready to Trust,  you will want to read it.  Trust me!   This is the second book in the Hearts of Oklahoma Romance series and is set in Rebel, Oklahoma.  Claire Ballard and Reece have known each other since high school and have a past that includes a daughter that Reece has just learned about.  Both join our story with issues from their past that they work through to find themselves and find true love. You will enjoy meeting them both and by the end want to have dinner with both of them over at Rebel Ranch.   


Ms. Radcliffe weaves together a story that is entertaining, delightful, and encourages you to dream big. 

Honestly, if after looking at the cover you are not interested in reading Ready to Trust then I think you seriously need to think about checking your pulse. I highly recommend Ready to Trust.


PS  The story also had me buying peaches.  Hop over to Tina’s blog to get some new recipes for peaches, and her Christmas in July recipes.

Raising Honor by Jill Lynn

I was so excited to read Jill Lynn’s latest book
Raising Honor which is part of her Colorado Grooms series.  Jill Lynn never disappoints.  This sweet story involves Charlie,our heroine, Rykar, our hero and a sweet foster child named Honor. The story has fabulous characters who are interesting and real which made them so endearing.  I was rooting for both Rykar and Charlie and loved watching their lives unfold. 


As someone who is an adoptive mom and also has siblings through adoption, I am very critical when I read a story about foster parenting or adoption.  I felt like Jill did a tremendous job being true to the process, reflecting fostering in a positive yet realistic way, and she was respectful to all who were involved. (foster parents, birth parents, relatives, case workers, and the children )  It was a pleasure to read such a well written and realistic story.  

Raising Honor comes out in paperback July 21, 2020 and ebook on August 1, 2020.


I highly recommend Raising Honor and believe you will be glad that you read it.
