Friday’s Freebies, Sales, Releases, Giveaways, and Facebook Parties – 6/10/16

​I love the weekends and the change of a weekly routine. However, my weekend has its own routine. I read and read and read some more.

The Blurb: ​”Jordan Axtell, an aspiring artist searching for a new beginning, escapes to Idaho. He hopes to put failure behind him and build a respectable career. Then strange things disappear and peculiar crimes point to Jordan’s guilt. Has the most annoying graffiti artist on the planet followed Jordan to Idaho? Jordan must find the identity of the perpetrator or lose his reputation as an artist.”

The Blurb: “All Sharee Jones wants is a partner with whom she can serve the Lord. All ex-pilot John Jergenson wants is to be left alone, with no one looking into his past, and no involvement of any kind. ​When Sharee asks for his help with a church program, how is he to know she’ll involve him in a baby’s kidnapping, unearth his past, and force him to face a God he no longer serves?”

The Blurb: “It takes courage to ask for a second chance…even more to extend one. 

For Duke and Avalon McNeil, it was love at first sight. Married within months of meeting, their feet hardly touched the ground until the reality of their haste hit home with startling clarity. As outside pressure continues to threaten Duke and Avalon’s fragile foundation, they must find the strength to prove to each other their marriage is worth fighting for.“

The Blurb: “1918, Rural Maine. Judith Chadbourne gave up her teaching job after her mother’s death to help her father with her five siblings. But when her brother Joel is drafted, the household chores and farm work may overwhelm her. Their neighbor, Ben Thayer, seems rich and mysterious, but his heart aches from his own loss. Judith accidentally breaks the antique ornament her mother loved. The splintering star echoes her family’s shattering. Joel falls ill at the army camp, and Ben’s concern may bring the beginnings of trust. Can love take Judith beyond the frozen Maine winter?”

​The Blurb: “Ruth’s world is sent spinning when she finds out she is going to be ripped from America’s Dairyland to live in the embarrassingly small tourist town of Sainte Genevieve, Missouri. The blow is lessened by the news she will live on a horse ranch, but how enjoyable will it be to live without pizza delivery and a revolving door to the public? Maybe the handsome ranch hand can brighten things up, then again, maybe not.“

The Blurb: “Lynn Stapleton likes designer handbags and high-end clothing, so how did Sharee Jergenson talk her into visiting a homeless site, much less starting a friendship with Victoria Lawson, one of its residents?

When Victoria’s found murdered, Detective Rich Richards thinks Lynn’s involvement is suspicious, but Lynn’s not interested in what the blue-eyed detective thinks. She’s not going to leave this investigation alone until she finds the murderer.”

The Blurb: ​”Dr. Tony Evans wrote the foreword for this novel based on his uncle’s life, an influential man during Evans’ formative years. In Sandtown-Baltimore during the Great Depression, Smitty’s world crumbles when he discovers his happy life is not what he thought. He’s just another colored nobody in a white man’s world. It takes nearly dying and the unwanted friendship of a white man for Smitty to become the somebody he was born to be.”
