Baby Blues I don't have many Amazon Reviews, esp from USA, but you can find most of them at Goodreads: "..Good plot and character dynamics. Characters are believable and I could relate to them. Recommend this book" --JoAnn S "This author did not disappoint. This novel reached out and grabbed me from the very first page and did not let go until the very last." --Kathleen Bradbury Bulfon on Goodreads |
Julie thought she had left her past behind when Andrew walked into her life, but his very appearance bore a striking resemblance to her ex-boyfriend Eric Young who was charged with murder back in Montana. Not only did he helped pay for lodging, but eh introduced her to woman who helped her grow close to Jesus and grow her faith. Now she wanted to stay in Marysville, California instead of going to Southern California as she planned. But will her stay be permanent or will news of Eric’s early release change everything for her?
With Eric behind bars, he had no way of protecting Julie from his evil half-brother Drew McGavin, but when he accepted Jesus in his heart, grace and mercy came to his aid and set him up for an early release. Could he find Julie in time, or will it be too late? REVIEWS FOR THE PAST HUNTER
"A very good story. Show good Christian values and tells of the need to pray. Would have liked more detail in the story, but all in all a good story line and told well."--Amazon Customer. 4 out 5 stars The characters always talked about the Lord and prayed and worshiped throughout and if they hadn’t been so in-tune with Him, then things might’ve turned out differently (aka worse). I never fully realized how… lacking… many other books that are supposed to be faith-based are when it comes to this. In many other Christian contemporary novels, the author might mention that the characters went to church one Sunday or said a prayer once in a while or expressed one sentence about God, and then the readers are supposed to give the author merit for the novel being “Christian” or something. However, just like believers are to live as followers of Christ 100% of the time, so are Christian characters in Christian books! If a book is to be a Christian one, it’s not enough to only mention Almighty God Himself once or twice the entire way through. And even though this is a problem with many other novels by Christian authors, Ruthie Madison incorporates the Christian lifestyle into every part of her story. Sure, the characters aren’t perfect and they make mistakes, but what matters is that this story always shows them bringing their troubles to the Lord over and over again. And in the end, this is what I liked - no, loved - about The Past Hunter.--Lilyys review on Goodreads "I thought this was a great story! I'm looking forward to the next book in the trilogy. Julie misunderstands something concerning Eric, which sends him to jail. This puts her in more danger because he's unable to provide the protection she truly needs. Read to find out more about what's going on!"--Kendra on Goodreads |
Reviews
4.0 out of 5 stars A really good book Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2023 This book is a romance but is also a book about grief and the holidays. Even through I am experiencing grief at this time over the loss of my son two years I enjoyed this story. I haven’t read the other books in this series but I definitely want to after reading this book. I could tell the author had some experience in the grief department because she wrote exactly what I was feeling. If you want a short holiday book about Christmas and love, then get a copy of “Holly’s Christmas Wish” by Ruthie Madison. I received a complimentary copy from the author and these opinions are my own. Debbie Curto |
