Book Review: Holiday Illusion

Holiday Ilusion by Lynette Eason Love Inspired Suspense Nov 08

Another excellent book for my Top 10 list. What I really liked about this well written story was that the author pulled me in. Of course, I knew who the bad guy was but it still held my interest. Did I really know anything, though? A surprise twist hit me broadside. It was all so clear once I knew the complete picture. The author ensured not a single loose end from even the tiniest thread was left hanging.

I also loved the way the author weaved the salvation story, prayer and scripture into the story. A part of their lives, but never obtrusive.

Years ago, Anna Freeman ran for her life from her hometown but when she's asked to go back, she realizes she wants to stop running. She doesn’t have to, but a sick little boy needs someone to accompany him and Anna feels it’s time to face her fears. She’s accompanying Dr. Lucas and wonders if their 'just friends' relationship will change back on American soil. Not that she wants it to, but a woman can always dream.

Dr. Lucas Bennett is thrilled when Anna decides to accompany them to the States. He’s had his eye on her for awhile but he’s been hiding out in the Amazonian jungle and can’t change their relationship until he mends the rift he has with his father.

It’s just that as soon as Anna lands, she’s been pursued again and keeping her alive is foremost on his mind.

Heat Level: Affectionate

Excellent - 5 stars (one to re-read; Top 10 list)

Prairie Wildlife Photos

These days, I'm busy working on the final draft of my historical romance, Emma's Outlaw , so I thought I'd give you some photos to check out. They are all of prairie wildlife in my area. Do you remember the afternoon JJ and I sat in the van on the empty dirt road with the suspicious looking dynamite box and waited for the Mountie? Well, these cowbirds kept us company. I had this photo in mind and just needed to wait for the cowbird to take flight. I waited. And, I waited. Then, I almost missed it because my arm was getting tired holding the camera in position and the bird decided to take off at the same moment I lowered the camera. About a quarter mile away on the same road but on a different day, I glanced at this familiar old bridge and saw a mule deer hiding underneath. As soon as my mind understood what I'd seen, I backed up to get a photo. The buck was still there--so still--that I thought it was a wooden silhouette like the ones I saw on hilltops along the hig...
