My Review

Book 2 of the New Series Shunned by the Amish by Samantha Price. This series is full of action and different twist. It is a page turner. You will want to keep reading once you start, Trust has been shunned by the Amish due to her actions she has taken in her life. Trust is a world -renowned thief. She has taken on new life to make changes in her life. But can she keep to them . She is always being tempted to do what she knows best. Lot of suspense in what she will do.

Outcast by Samantha Price.

 


Trust Zeigler has strayed far from the Amish roots she once knew as the daughter of an Amish bishop. Today, she's a renowned jewel thief, captivating headlines around the world. But as the thrill of the heist grows, so does the danger—pushing Trust to the edge of a precipice she may not escape.

Enter an enigmatic FBI agent with an offer that could change everything. He promises a way out, a chance to wipe the slate clean and start anew. But can Trust really leave her high-stakes life behind, and is the promise of redemption just a strategy in a game where she's the pawn?

As Trust wrestles with her future, she faces a stark choice: return to a past that no longer fits or forge ahead into a future full of unknowns.

With every decision critical and every ally questionable, Trust must decide whom to trust before she runs out of moves.

"Outcast" unveils Trust Zeigler's harrowing exploits, in which loyalty is rare, betrayal is just a misstep away, and every choice could be her last.

(This series, 'Shunned by the Amish,' is a remake of the 'Gretel Koch Jewel Thief' series, which Samantha Price retired some years ago. It has been completely rewritten, renamed, and reimagined).

Mackinac Island Beacon by Carrie Fancett Pagels

 


Plans hatched in 1897 bring friends and family from far distances toward Mackinac Island’s new twin beacons—the Round Island Lighthouse and the Social Affirmation Society’s training/retreat center. A missing daughter, a missing godchild—two young women’s lives have intertwined in ways they could never have known. The solution to both of their mysteries is revealed when all hope has been lost by those seeking them.

Is romance out of the question for Val and Susan, when their hearts begin to heal? Will Paul and Lawrence, friends from their childhoods, brought to the island for work, be their beacons of hope? Can God bring all their paths together or will too many obstacles stand in their way?

My Review:
Another wonderful novel by Carrie that will keep you flipping the pages. Well written characters. I was picturing myself on this journey as I read the book. I so want to go to Mackinac Island for a vacation. So beautifully described in the novel.
As I said it is well written and you will be flipping those pages to try and figure out what happened to the children. Who belongs to who? Will the lighthouse keeper find love? Will God intervein? Will God direct all their paths to meet and find the beacon of hope? Wonderful 5 star novel.

Mona Lisa Smiles by Kate Lloyd

 


With Papa dead and Mama in assisted living, Mona Lisa Buttaro plans to sell Booty’s, the family restaurant, as well as the family home, but her quirky brother, Joey, is a roadblock. Mona Lisa persuades him to work at the restaurant, but his phobias about germs dominate his thoughts. Yet, if she sells the place, where else could Joey work?

Mona Lisa hires former classmate Cliff McFarlane to do repairs on the family home. Newly sober and single, Cliff was in the popular crowd that excluded her in the past, but she is still attracted to him—not that she’d let him know. Mona Lisa wonders if she should give up all men—unless she can find one like Papa, her idol.

Then she uncovers an outrageous discovery: while alive, Papa made monthly payments to a half-sister Mona Lisa never knew existed.

Mona Lisa realizes her father was a liar—not unlike herself. She harbors her own shameful secret.
