2019 ACFW Carol Award WinnerI’ve had so many of you asking my opinion about Christian Fiction and faithful readers asking for book reviews that I thought I’d try to do at least one a week.
This week, I’m going to start with two (yes, thank you – hold your applause)–
Reluctant Smuggler by Jill Elizabeth Nelson and
Death of a Six-Foot Teddy Bear by Sharon Dunn
Reluctant Smuggler is the third book in the To Catch a Thief Series by Nelson. I was hooked from the beginning of the series and haven’t wanted to wait for each book to come out! Jill does an incredible job of shaping her characters – they are real (which would be hard for others to pull off, considering the hero and heroine aren’t your average run-of-the-mill ‘9-5’ers, but Jill does it with great finesse). I found myself yelling at them, laughing at them and wanting to jump in the scene – pull off an impossible art heist and be the FBI agents to catch the bad guys. Full of mystery, intrigue, security capers, laughter, FBI, the love of art and don’t forget the on-the-edge-of-your-seat, bite-your-fingernails romance — you REALLY need to buy this book and the whole series.
Death of a Six-Foot Teddy Bear is Sharon Dunn’s second book in her Bargain Hunters Mysteries. Fast-paced and packed with crazy coincidences and being in the wrong place at the wrong time, I laughed a lot through this book as I puzzled over the mystery. This was my first time reading one of Sharon’s books and I would definitely recommend it to others. There were a lot of kooky characters that reminded me that yes, I am “normal”! (Don’t laugh – you know I’m right!) So, get out there and buy this book, you’ll have fun!
Happy reading everyone – and thanks for all of your notes!

I’m ordering them both right now. Thanks for doing this for us. I like your opinion.
I for one am so stoked you are doing this. (I know I was one who hounded you all the time about books and I know how busy you are)
thanks for writing. All my friends read your blog now.
Thanks so much for featuring Reluctant Smuggler on your blog, Kim. I can toot the horn for Sharon’s book too. Just finished reading it. Loads of fun!
You’re a blessing!!
Kim – you are awesome at writing. I love all I read from you. I love to read and am looking forward to the Alaska series.

wow, I’m off to buy books! Thanks, Kim!
Kim – just wondering if you have ever read any of Lori Copeland’s fiction stories? Her “Morning Shade Mystery” series are my favorite. Your review of the “Smuggler” reminded me of Lori Copeland’s books.
