Her Surprise Cowboy Groom

(Wishing Well Springs #4)

By Cathy McDavid

Sweet/Clean Contemporary Romance

Paperback & eBook, 270 Pages

April 25, 2023 by Harlequin Heartwarming

Summary

An instant family

Could change her plans!

Ambitious wedding dress designer Laurel Montgomery can’t afford to be distracted…especially not by easygoing cowboy Max Maxwell. Wrangling his three-year-old twin daughters, a rambunctious puppy and a fledgling business, Max has his hands full, too. But he also knows the value of going for ice cream and fishing with his girls. Can he show Laurel there are more important things than making it big—like love and family?

From Harlequin Heartwarming: Wholesome stories of love, compassion and belonging.

Excerpt

Max threaded the reins between his gloved fingers and clucked to the horses. “All right, boys. Walk out.”

Otis and Elvis started forward, their big hooves stirring up dust as they plodded along. At their age, they had one speed: slow. Perfect for transporting a bride and her wedding party from the house to the barn. No runaways. No jackpots. Piece of cake.

Jelly barked at a flock of birds flying overhead.

“Why didn’t we get a heeler or a border collie?” Max bemoaned. “A respectable ranch dog. Instead, we’re stuck with you.”

She plopped down and rested her head on his knee.

“Save it. I have a heart of stone.”

Sighing, Jelly closed her eyes. Being cute had apparently tuckered her out.

A few minutes later, they reached the house. Max checked his watch. Two minutes behind schedule. He’d do better tomorrow.

He was contemplating calling the office number so whoever answered could let Laurel know he was waiting when the front door flew open. Laurel emerged, attired in a wedding dress complete with veil and bouquet.

Max’s throat went dry, and he couldn’t quit staring. A crazy notion he didn’t dare put into words formed before he shoved it far, far away.

“A wedding dress?” he asked when she approached.

“This is a test run. We’re going for realism.”

I Can't Wait for... Fleur de Lis by Sarah M. Eden (Can't-Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday) #CWW #WOW #booktwitter #newbooks #cleanromance #historicalromance #romancebooks @covenantcomms

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here, at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read.

Fleur de Lis

(The Gents #3)

By Sarah M. Eden

Historical Romance

Paperback & eBook, 284 Pages

June 20, 2023 by Covenant Communications

Summary

Thirteen years ago, Henri Fortier left a tumultuous life in France to begin anew in England. His adopted country has become home, and his dearest friends, the Gents, are family. Unfortunately, ties to the past still plague him, and he’s forced to live in near destitution. Henri secretly publishes his poetry to supplement his meager income, but it is both insufficient and risky. A house party with the Gents promises a welcome distraction until he realizes that one of the guests is none other than Nicolette Beaulieu, the woman who stole―and broke―his heart years ago.

Nicolette has traveled to England for reasons far more pressing than a house party. As part of the Marquis de Lafayette’s secret network, she has been tasked with preparing for revolution. Though she has a pristine track record with the organization, her romantic history is far from perfect. This is particularly evident when she is reunited with Henri, the man who once declared his love for her. Drawn together through adventures the Gents have devised, the couple begins to tiptoe toward more tender feelings. But as sinister threats loom from all quarters, it may be too late for Henri and Nicolette’s second chance at love.

Regency Therapy:

A Sweet Romantic Comedy

(The Jane Austen Vacation Club #2)

By Lisa H. Catmull

Contemporary Romance, Inspirational Fiction

Paperback & eBook, 278 Pages

February 3, 2023 by Saltair Press

Summary

My publisher invited me to attend an all-expenses paid writing retreat at the posh new Hartfield Regency Resort in Loveland, Colorado. Carole isn't nice like that—there must be a catch.

There is. His name is Ryder Hawk, the outlaw leader of the all-male Western writers who work for the same publishing company. He thinks he’s agreed to attend an all-expenses-paid week at a dude ranch.

Yeah, no. Carole has other ideas. She wants to break into the cowboy romance market. If I want to renew my writing contract, I have to do more than put up with Ryder and his gang of cowboy cronies for a week. We have to write together.

The problem is, Ryder and I have a history.

And it’s more like war than peace.

Caught by the Cowgirl

(Rodeo Stars of Violet Ridge #1)

By Tanya Agler

Sweet/Clean Contemporary Romance

Paperback & eBook, 256 Pages

April 25, 2023 by Harlequin Heartwarming

Summary

She’s got a knack…

For roping in hearts

For rancher Will Sullivan, nothing is more beautiful than a Colorado sunrise…until Kelsea Carruthers shows up at his ranch, wanting to lease his land. But Will has plans for his struggling ranch that don’t include the gorgeous, quirky Southern belle. Now Kelsea is quickly learning how to be a true cowgirl—even as she steals everyone’s hearts. And this gruff, set-in-his-ways cowboy might just be falling the hardest…

My Review

CAUGHT BY THE COWGIRL is a story about a woman trying to prove her worth and place, and a cowboy who is trying to keep his family's ranch and find contentment. It's a sweet story with some lovable animals, likable characters, and light romance. Fans of the Heartwarming line and light, quick romances will enjoy this one.

I've read some of this author's previous books and enjoyed them. This story is on the lighter side, which is what you'd expect from this line of books. I liked all the characters and thought the scenes with the animals added some fun moments as well as a bit of heart. I liked that Will is a bit rough around the edges and still trying to figure life out after his parents died and retiring from the rodeo circuit. It made him vulnerable and relatable. Kelsea is a slightly out of control ball of sunshine. She dives right into things. They're somewhat opposites, which makes for a fun romance. 

There were some things that were unrealistic and some dialogue that felt stilted. It's also a very quick romance, although not quite insta-love. I would have liked a bit more depth and development. I also would have liked smoother dialogue so that the chemistry felt more palpable. 

In the end, was it what I wished for? An overall light and fun read with enjoyable characters and a sweet romance.

I Can't Wait for... Witch King by Martha Wells (Can't-Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday) #CWW #WOW #booktwitter #newbooks #fantasy @TorDotComPub @torbooks

This author has been in my view for a while as I have her Murderbot Diaries on my list. There's seven so far in that series, so I need to get going to catch up, which I definitely plan on doing - possibly this summer. Then I saw this... the first in a new series. I love the cover, the title and the premise! It won't hurt to get to this regardless of where I am in her other series. 😁 It's my pick this week...

Witch King

By Martha Wells

Epic Fantasy

Hardcover, Audiobook & eBook, 432 Pages

May 30, 2023 by Tordotcom

Summary

From the breakout SFF superstar author of Murderbot comes a remarkable story of power and friendship, of trust and betrayal, and of the families we choose.

"I didn't know you were a... demon."
"You idiot. I'm the demon."
Kai's having a long day in Martha Wells' WITCH KING....

After being murdered, his consciousness dormant and unaware of the passing of time while confined in an elaborate water trap, Kai wakes to find a lesser mage attempting to harness Kai’s magic to his own advantage. That was never going to go well.

But why was Kai imprisoned in the first place? What has changed in the world since his assassination? And why does the Rising World Coalition appear to be growing in influence?

Kai will need to pull his allies close and draw on all his pain magic if he is to answer even the least of these questions.

He’s not going to like the answers.

WITCH KING is Martha Wells’s first new fantasy in over a decade, drawing together her signature ability to create characters we adore and identify with, alongside breathtaking action and adventure, and the wit and charm we’ve come to expect from one of the leading writers of her generation.

Long Way Home

By Lynn Austin

Christian Historical Romance

Hardcover, Paperback, Audiobook & eBook, 391 Pages

June 1, 2022 by Tyndale House Publishers

Summary

In this gripping portrait of war and its aftermath from bestselling author Lynn Austin, a young woman searches for the truth her childhood friend won’t discuss after returning from World War II, revealing a story of courage, friendship, and faith.

Peggy Serrano couldn’t wait for her best friend to come home from the war. But the Jimmy Barnett who returns is much different from the Jimmy who left, changed so drastically by his experience as a medic in Europe that he can barely function. When he attempts the unthinkable, his parents check him into the VA hospital. Peggy determines to help the Barnetts unravel what might have happened to send their son over the edge. She starts by contacting Jimmy’s war buddies, trying to identify the mysterious woman in the photo they find in Jimmy’s belongings.

Seven years earlier, sensing the rising tide against her people, Gisela Wolff and her family flee Germany aboard the passenger ship St. Louis, bound for Havana, Cuba. Gisela meets Sam Shapiro on board and the two fall quickly in love. But the ship is denied safe harbor and sent back to Europe. Thus begins Gisela’s perilous journey of exile and survival, made possible only by the kindness and courage of a series of strangers she meets along the way, including one man who will change the course of her life.

Author Interview

What inspired you to write a story that is set both during and after WWII?

As I researched World War II for my two previous books, I kept thinking about my dad, who enlisted in the Navy at age 18 and served in the war in the Pacific. Dad never talked about his experiences, but we noticed that certain activities caused him anxiety. While researching, I came upon accounts from other WWII veterans and their children that described similar anxiety-producing episodes. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) wasn’t recognized back in the 1940s, and psychiatry was still in its infancy. Returning soldiers were left to struggle on their own with what was called “battle fatigue,” or cope with risky treatments such as electric shocks or insulin comas. I created “Long Way Home” to honor all the brave veterans who had to battle symptoms of PTSD long after doing battle with the enemy.

While researching my earlier WWII novels, I also read about the S.S. St. Louis, which sailed from Hamburg Germany in 1939 with more than 900 Jewish passengers, desperate to escape Nazi persecution. After learning about their harrowing journey, I decided to retell this little-known story to honor the courageous families who sailed onboard that ship.

Would you tell us more about the main characters from LONG WAY HOME?

Jimmy Barnett, is a World War II veteran who suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after returning home. His anguish is deepened by a crisis of faith and anger at God. How could a loving God allow the suffering he has witnessed? Why have his prayers gone unanswered?

Peggy Serrano’s mother died when Peggy was eleven, and she lives with her un-nurturing father in a shabby apartment above his auto-repair garage. Growing up, Peggy was bullied by the other children, and Jimmy was her only friend. Now she is determined to do whatever it takes to help him recover from the effects of the war.

Gisela Wolff is a young Jewish woman living in Berlin, Germany in 1939. As the Nazi persecution intensifies, she and her family attempt to escape to Cuba onboard the S.S. St. Louis. Her story eventually intersects with Jimmy’s and Peggy’s, but you’ll have to read the novel to discover how.

Which character do you most relate to and why?

I think I identify most closely with Peggy. Like her, my friends are very important to me, and they have helped me navigate through all the joys and struggles in life in so many wonderful ways. If one of them was suffering from depression or a loss of faith, I would do whatever I could to help them, not giving up until they’d recovered.

What advice would Peggy give about supporting a friend who is struggling?

I think she would say, don’t try to do it on your own. Gather support from as many friends and family members as you can to let your friend know he isn’t alone. And don’t stop trying to help even if he tries to push you away. If your friend is suffering a crisis of faith, you don’t need to

know all the answers. Your comforting presence and continued friendship will mean a lot, even if he doesn’t respond to it.

What advice or wisdom would Gisela share about persevering?

It’s okay to get discouraged and to feel like giving up, but never lose hope. The courage to persevere through the most difficult trials comes from trusting God and knowing that He is in control, even when it doesn’t seem like it. Trust and believe that He is able to bring good from evil.

What part or aspect of this story do you love the most?

I love the way that the importance of community is illustrated. Peggy asks Jimmy’s army friends to help her and they work together to help him recover. There were also groups of people who worked together and took great risks to help Gisela and her family. I love the message that we need each other.

When you reach for a book to read, what genre do you grab and what are some of your favorites in that genre?

I love large, complicated, sprawling stories that cover large periods of time. It’s fun to see how the many pieces of the story work together over time. Two of my most recent favorites are “Cloud Cuckoo Land” by Anthony Doerr, and “Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet” by Jamie Ford. I also love family sagas by authors such as Maeve Binchy and Rosamunde Pilcher.

What was a book that made you cry, a book that made you laugh and a book that made you swoon?

The most recent novel to bring me to tears was “All Manner of Things” by Susie Finkbeiner. A book that made me laugh out loud was “Plot Twist” by Bethany Turner. And one that made me swoon was “By Way of the Moonlight” by Elizabeth Musser.

What’s something you enjoy doing when you’re not reading or writing?

Biking! My husband and I ride our bikes on miles and miles of local bike trails every chance we get. My favorite vacation of all time was a group biking trip around Lake Constance a few years ago that took us through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

What are you working on next?

My next novel, “All My Secrets,” is a sprawling, family saga that tells the stories of three generations of women. It’s set in the Gilded Age in New York City and will release in Spring 2024.

Sienna Blake is used to chaos. As a well-known movie star, she thought she’d seen it all. But that was before she fell in love with Craig Simmons, a navy SEAL and member of the Saint Squad. The path to matrimony has been strewn with postponements and disruptions, but wedding bells are finally going to ring―until Craig disappears just ahead of the most important day of their lives, leaving Sienna to evaluate whether she’s really cut out for the uncertainty of life as a military wife.

With the enthusiastic help of his Saint Squad teammates, wedding plans are once more set in motion.

Desperate times call for desperate measures: against her better judgment, she agrees to a foolhardy scheme presented by a handsome stranger, known to her as only William. But when her mysterious benefactor falls ill, she finds herself unwittingly drawn into his family home in a case of mistaken identity: they believe she is William’s betrothed. Though she realizes she should admit the truth, the family’s warmth and welcome make it all too easy to play along, just for a while. Until she meets Baron Lord Simon Calloway, William’s older brother.

Simon is suspicious of his lovely future sister-in-law, a woman who seems completely unsuited to his self-important brother. As they wait for William to awake, Simon and Lucy are drawn ever closer together. But danger draws closer too, in the form of her unwanted suitor. Lucy knows that when Simon discovers the truth, he will despise her. Now she must find a way to keep herself safe . . . and avoid falling hopelessly in love with a man she can never have.
