Ready for another Can’t-Put-it-Down Romantic Suspense Book?

by Chautona Havig ·

Critical Alliance doesn't release for two more months, BUT, that just means you have time to read the first two books in the series first! via @chautonahavig

She’s back again! Author Elizabeth Goddard and I chatted about her last book in the Rocky Mountain Courage series (and a tiny bit about what is coming next) in this episode!  We had a blast talking about writing, the complexities of research, and our favorite things about books. Listen in for more!

Ready for another Can’t-Put-it-Down Romantic Suspense Book?

We chatted about the first book in this series, Present Danger, back in Episode 64, and now… the final book in the series is here (almost)! Elizabeth Goddard first said she’d never write another book about cyber security, but now that she’s had some distance from all the research (and the unsettling nature of that research), do you think she will stick to that?  I sure hope not, because this book sounds AMAZING.

Critical Alliance is set in the Montana Rocky Mountains, of course.  Where else would it be in this series?  Especially since Goddard admits to loving this area of the country.

However, her next series is going to take us a bit north… to Alaska! Okay, now all I can hear is Johnny Horton’s song. I’ll be singing it all week.  I blame Elizabeth.

Releasing July 5, Critical Alliance is also available from the Baker Book House website at 40% off retail with FREE shipping.

This makes the paperback LESS than the cost of the Kindle version (aside from tax, license, and extortion fees 😉 ).  Seriously, that’s like 2000 book prices right there!  And during a paper shortage, too!  WOOT!  ALSO, sometimes Baker Books send out their preorders EARLY.  This means we can get it even before the release date sometimes!  (I’ve gotten several recently. Just sayin’!

Rocky Mountain Courage Series #3

Mackenzie Hanson’s special set of skills opened the door to a successful career as a professor of cybersecurity at a Michigan university, allowing her to put her criminal past behind her. But when a long-ago partner in crime delivers a cryptic message about her father’s tech company being under cyberattack, she heads for Montana to secure exposed assets, close security breaches, and hopefully save lives.

Diplomatic Security Services special agent Alex Knight is back home in Montana to decompress from a mission gone wrong. But even as he’s trying to relax, he’s drawn into another mystery, complete with suspicious deaths, lethal threats, and whispers of espionage that all have one thing in common–a beautiful cybersecurity expert with a dark past.

When the situation turns deadly, Alex and Mackenzie will have to work together to find the answers they need–before someone silences Mackenzie for good.

USA Today bestselling author Elizabeth Goddard weaves a tangled web of nail-biting suspense and heart-stopping romance in this fast-paced conclusion to her Rocky Mountain Courage series.

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 569: A Chat with Fayla Ott
byChautona Havig

Anyone who knows me knows I love a good heart-rending story, and To Fly on Broken Wings by Fayla Ott sounds like the best kind–one with hope even in the difficult things. Listen in and see why it reminds me of Patti Paige!

Oh, boy. No way can I not read this book ASAP!

To Fly on Broken Wings by Fayla Ott

Mississippi Delta, 1941

Lila Rose never expected life to offer her more than the quiet rhythm of cotton fields and small-town whispers. Raised in poverty and caring for an alcoholic father, she’s learned not to hope for much.

Then she meets Graham, a young pilot from one of Mississippi’s wealthiest families. Their unlikely love changes everything.

But when war tears them apart and Graham is reported killed in action, Lila believes the future she’d dreamed of has died with him. Determined to move forward, she remarries and begins building a new life.

Until Graham comes home.

Now the man she buried in her heart is standing before her, and the life she’s fought to rebuild hangs in the balance. Faced with an impossible choice between the love she lost and the promises she’s made, Lila must discover whether faith can guide her when every path leads to heartbreak.

To Fly on Broken Wings is a moving Christian historical novel about love, loss, impossible choices, and the quiet courage to trust God when the path ahead is anything but clear.

Learn more on Fayla’s WEBSITE and follow on GoodReads and BookBub.

Still, with his trusty parrotlet Atticus (not Finch) by his side, he's turning his business skills in a new, more rewarding direction. Jump into the first Bookstrings novella today.

Can the small town of Berne support two bookstores Can the small town of Berne support two bookstores? Of course, not. Does that stop Anne Montgomery from opening one practically next door to the other one? It does not. Their friendship may be dead, but nothing will stop her from running her dream bookstore. And... she got the prime location. It's perfect!
Except it isn't. If something doesn't change, she'll flop faster than this year's over-hyped novel. After much pleading (and some interfering), Milton and his trusty parrotlet, Atticus (not Finch) arrive to help.
Book two in the Bookstrings series (aside from the two prequel novellas), Clock Tower Bound is available in print, on Kindle (and Kindle Unlimited), and coming soon to audiobook (and @ChristaDelSorbo's) YouTube Channel (where you can listen free!).

A tiny bookstore in an equally tiny town? Sure. Wh A tiny bookstore in an equally tiny town? Sure. Why not. Joshua Hart is determined to make it a success--to share his love of reading with his community. And it will... if the crazy baker (with the amazing cinnamon rolls) across the street will quit blocking his store's existence with her behemoth of a vehicle pointing everyone to those (yes, totally amazing but come on!) cinnamon rolls!
It's a battle royale and a bit of loathe-to-love all rolled into one town fighting to stay alive. Milton and Atticus do their part to reframe his business plan into something that'll work... and yeah. They're doing that matchmaking thing. Can you blame them? With a name like Honey, she's got to be perfect for him.
