Fall in Love with This Wonderful New Romance Series

by Chautona Havig · Leave a Comment

Get ready for a wonderful new romance series by Contemporary Western Romance author, Mandi Blake and learn about lots of new books, too! via @chautonahavig

The Wolf Creek Ranch series by Mandi Blake combines western romance with contemporary Christian romance in one brilliant spin-off series from her Blackwater Ranch series. Western romance is crazy popular, and Mandi and I talk about her books, how she writes them, and about her exciting newsletter Faith Reads Romance.

Fall in Love with This Wonderful New Romance Series

Mandi Blake loves to write about cowboys working the land, loving the Lord, and being that loyal, stand-up guy everyone roots for. A cattleman’s daughter herself, Mandi knows the life of which she writes, and where it differs from her own, she’s got friends to keep her books authentic and page-turners!

Not only that, but Mandi is a fun-loving, spontaneous gal who reads almost as much as she writes (or so it seems to me!). I learned of a few new-to-me authors from her. I never thought I’d ache to read a “billionaire” series, but one with a strong faith element AND a billionaire biker? Yeah. I have to find out about that, so Evangeline Kelly is next up on my “to try” list–right after Mandi Blake herself!  She also recommended Hannah Jo Abbot and romantic suspense author, Tara Rice Erickson.

But wait, there’s more!

Mandi and her friends have joined forces to bring readers the best in romance books on sale or just highly recommended.  Visit Faithbooksromance.com for new releases and sales discounts on Wednesday and Saturday. Also, follow them on Instagram at faithbooksromance. On Mondays and Thursdays, they tell about different series!

And finally, I can’t remember what she said about her reader group that intrigued me, but something did, so I think you should check it out!

Truth Is a Whisper by Mandi BlakeTruth Is a Whisper by Mandi Blake

They both want the truth, but are they willing to pay the price?

Ava Collins is more than ready to say goodbye to the breakneck pace of the city, and an invitation to her grandfather’s ranch is exactly what she needs. Finding out her former flame is running the ranch, on the other hand, was entirely unexpected. How can she put aside her memories of that whirlwind summer when she has to work beside the handsome cowboy every day?

Jameson Ford was grateful to be offered the new foreman job at Wolf Creek Ranch. He’s eager to prove himself, but quickly distracted by the reappearance of his first love, who also happens to be his boss’s granddaughter. It’s been years since they promised each other forever, and neither of them know how to pick up where they left off or if they should forget it ever happened.

Allied by their love of the ranch, Jameson and Ava have to work together, despite the lingering feelings between them. When Ava uncovers secrets about her family, she doesn’t know if she can trust anyone. Most of all, can she learn to trust her heart on her way to discovering the truth?

Truth is a Whisper is the first book in the Christian romance Wolf Creek Ranch series.

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 559: A Chat with Lisa Phillips
byChautona Havig

One of my favorite series is Lisa Phillips’ Brand of Justice. Listen in as we talk about the final book (Psst… it can be read as a stand alone) in this sixteen-book series!

note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.

I’ve been holding out on finishing the series since I finished book three. IT’s time. So once we got done talking, I loaded up the next book on my phone and wheeeeeee! here we go!

Now Until Forever by Lisa Phillips

**The Epic Stand-alone Finale**

Born into a legacy, Eliana must find her own brand of justice.

After moving to Chicago to work at the mysterious Shrine museum, Eliana is determined to uncover the family secrets she’s never been told. When she stumbles upon her first ever dead body, everyone around her believes she should try and solve the murder. But taking cases isn’t what she came here for. Despite her plans, things are about to turn far more sinister, and the path she’s on seems determined to drag her back into a nightmare. Chicago PD Officer Carlos Ryson was born into a legacy of his own. He’s here to look for his missing sister, Luci, and wants to enlist Eliana’s help. This is a family problem, and only family working together can solve it. But Eliana has never forgotten the way Carlos shredded her heart. If he wants them to team up, he’ll have to confront the damage he did and find a way to repair it. While the city around them descends into a chaos that resembles the end times, someone has seized the opportunity to get what they want from the Shrine. Only Eliana stands in their way, but if she’s going to figure this out she’ll need to trust that the people around her have her back. Before it’s too late. Now Until Forever is the stand-alone finale to the Brand of Justice series, and is set in the near-future. It features a happily ever after romance mixed with high-stakes suspense in this gripping crime fiction story.
