Edgy Christian Fiction Lovers Hot Summer Reads Blog Tour!

The ECFL summer Blog Tour is back and I'm here with some suggestions from my grab back of books.

WIND OVER MARSHDALE
 (Romantic suspense)

This is a hot summer read for several reasons. Intrigue and mystery, dark spiritual forces, some spicy romance, AND it's on sale right now for 99 cents! Who can beat that? Here's the blurb: 

Marshdale. Just a small farming community where nothing special happens.  A perfect place to start over… or get lost. There is definitely more to this prairie town than meets the eye. Once the meeting place of aboriginal tribes for miles around, some say the land itself was cursed because of the people’s sin. But its history goes farther back than even indigenous oral history can trace and there is still a direct descendant who has been handed the truth, like it or not. Exactly what ties does the land have to the medicine of the ancients? Is it cursed, or is it all superstition?

Wind Over Marshdale is the story of the struggles within a small prairie town when hidden evil and ancient medicine resurface. Caught in the crossfire, new teacher Rachel Bosworth finds herself in love with two men at once. First, there is Thomas Lone Wolf, a Cree man whose blood lines run back to the days of ancient medicine but who has chosen to live as a Christian and faces prejudice from every side as he tries to expose the truth. Then there is Con McKinley, local farmer who has to face some demons of his own. Add to the mix a wayward minister seeking anonymity in the obscurity of the town; eccentric twin sisters – one heavily involved in the occult and the other a fundamentalist zealot; and a host of other ‘characters’ whose lives weave together unexpectedly for the final climax. This suspenseful story is one of human frailty - prejudice, cowardice, jealousy, and greed – magnified by powerful spiritual forces that have remained hidden for centuries, only to be broken in triumph by grace.

Amazon (only 99c!)
Barnes and Noble (still only 2.99!)

PLAY IT AGAIN
(Romantic suspense)
One reviewer called Play It Again 'hot property', so in my books that makes it a perfect 'hot summer read'. (Not to mention that it's set in the 80s amidst the local rock and roll scene.) What better book to go with those 1980s oldies playin' on the radio while you lounge in your backyard or at the beach?
Here's more:

Sparks fly when an ex rock and roll junkie and a stuffy accountant rendezvous at a local resort, but neither are prepared for the emotional entanglements, family complications, and a threat from the past that unexpectedly resurfaces. Set in the 1980′s, this story brings two opposing forces together in a clash of romance and danger, while its musical undertones highlight the theme that God can turn anything into beautiful music.

Available in ebook or paperback - whatever suits your summer reading fancy!

Amazon - on sale for less than $2.99 :)

MY MOTHER THE MAN-EATER 
(Romantic suspense)  
 What makes this a hot summer read? If you can't guess by the title alone, then let me give you a few hints: a forty something cougar, five boyfriends, an ex-con husband... This is a hefty book and may take more than one afternoon by the pool. There's spice, humor, quirky mixed up relationships, but also a fair bit of grit that has left some readers surprised. Read the cover blurb for more:

What’s a girl to do? Joleen Allen is on the hunt. For a man, that is. Unfortunately, every time the mother of five meets a prospect, he falls for one of her daughters instead!

Meanwhile, her ex-husband, Harold, is back in the picture after a stint in prison, and he’s looking for revenge. He’ll do anything to see Joleen’s reputation and her relationship with their children ruined. Harold has devised an elaborate plan to slander Joleen and ruin her financially, and will stop at nothing – even murder – to see it through.

At forty-four, Joleen has seen a thing or two. She became a mother at sixteen, and her five highly independent children are now grown. Jasmine is a successful ad executive, but has a drinking problem. Jill is a tough cop, while middle child Jennifer surprises them all with her tenacity. Jinger is a self-centered glamour girl, and the baby of the family, Jade, is utterly spoiled.

All the interesting men they meet get tossed around by this pack of barracudas. Adding to the mix are some drug deals, a kidnapping, insurance fraud, and secrets from the past, making life very complicated, indeed.

With grit, humor, action, intrigue and romance, My Mother the Man-Eater is a redemptive story about a woman whose search for meaning in life sends her straight into . . . the arms of God.

If the paperback is too heavy get the kindle version!
