Distortion by Terri Blackstock My rating: 5 of 5 stars Generally, I am not an incredible fan of contemporary novels, but with Terri Blackstock, I make a notable exception. I know from the moment I pick up one of her stories that I will read an intensely involving story with strong Christian themes. She is not afraid to talk about […]

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I am a long-time fan of Toilet Tree products.  This is probably the fifth review I have done with them, and their products are always fantastic!  Today, I would like to tell you about their single wall mount dispenser.  If you are like me, you have way too many bottles […]

Banished Love by Ramona Flightner My rating: 5 of 5 stars I am quite pleased to recommend to my readers another clean, historical romance that is incredibly well-written and quite entertaining to read. This book is completely appropriate for every reading level (a few minor profanity instances, but hardly worth mentioning and no bedroom scenes implied or detailed). I fell […]
