We'll begin our champion announcement with the kindness of the voters....
Comments of Encouragement for this Month’s
CLASH Authors:
They are all
stunning... I love though how Tamara writes in the medieval time... Hard to
find clean fiction in that time period :)
Heather Day
Gilbert's previous novel convinced me to put any other fiction she writes in
the top level of my "to read" list, so this month's choice was
easy--even though there are some other books here that are also on my list.
Anytime a book
weaves a tale that crosses generations is always a draw for me. Miranda Warning by Heather Day Gilbert offers
that and a peak into WV life with a great mystery. Love it!
Oh my goodness --
too many wanna-reads in this list, not the least of which are Blind Trust, A
Place in His Heart, and Lady of Eve. No fair we only get to vote for one!! ;)
A Place in His
Heart is a beautiful story! So amazing that it's based on the author's
ancestry.
Jolina
Petersheim, I read "The Outcast" and I'm looking forward to reading
your new book "The Midwife." I enjoy Amish fiction. Keep up the great
work!
Best of luck
Heather Gray Jackal is one of my all time favourite books!!
Rebecca DeMarino
is off to a good start in her first of "The Southold Chronicles." I
am looking forward to the second novel.
And Now, on to our Champion, with a sweet
kudos to another clasher:
Sandra, Blind
Trust looks intriguing, so I ordered a copy. I've already read Moon over
Maalaea Bay at least 30 times. :)
Love Sandra's
romantic suspense!
Sandra Orchard, I
am looking forward to reading all the book in this series. Love the characters! Blind Trust looks great!
Sandra Orchard is
the best. I enjoy her books and can't
wait till the next one. Blind Trust is a
great book.
Sandra Orchard --
Your cover is fabulous -- I can't wait to read the story.
And the winner is
– Sandra Orchard, and Blind Trust!
Congratulations!

Caught passing
counterfeit bills, Kate Adams races to expose the true counterfeiter before
unwitting suspects pay with their lives, but the truth could endanger her most
of all.
Book 2 in the
Port Aster Secrets series
Kate Adams had no
idea she was carrying counterfeit money, and she can’t believe that it came
from her sweet neighbor. Or that it lands her in the middle of another one of
Detective Tom Parker’s investigations. Determined to prove her neighbor’s
innocence, Kate stumbles into a pit of intrigue that is far deeper than a
two-bit counterfeit operation–and strikes too close to home for comfort. As
family secrets come to light, her world–and her budding romance with Tom–begin
to crumble. To Kate, it’s clear that she won’t be safe until she uncovers all
of Port Aster’s secrets. But is it too late for her and Tom?
N.B. Each
book in this series is a stand-alone mystery featuring Kate Adams, a herbal
medicine researcher turned amateur sleuth, and Tom Parker, Port Aster’s newest
detective. Together the three-book series reads as a romantic suspense, with
Kate and Tom’s romance and an underlying suspense plot arcing the series. For
that reason, and because book two is a spoiler for book one, we recommend the
series be read in order.
A review from
Booklist:
The second of Christian
romantic-suspense author Orchard’s Port Aster Secrets novels, Blind Trust finds
Kate Adams still reeling from her friend’s murder as she attempts to get her
life back in order. However, what begins as a seemingly small-time counterfeit
operation soon spirals into something much bigger, with Kate at the center.
Detective Tom Parker has his eye on Kate, and not because she’s a suspect. His
feelings for her continue to grow, as does his desire to protect her, but
Kate’s determination to get to the truth on her own means that Tom is often
getting her out of trouble, rather than keeping her from it. When the action
shifts from mere counterfeiting to poisoning, theft, and decades-old secrets,
Kate insists on researching her way to the facts. Orchard infuses romance with
suspense and keeps the excitement coming page after page. Readers will love the
ever-deepening mystery as Kate extends her investigation and finds herself and
her long-dead father tangled up in an international corporate conspiracy. Will
Kate be able to clear her father’s name, and stay safe? — Carolyn Richard
