Arizona Aussie

I grabbed another S.Q. Eads' book to read after work yesterday afternoon -- Arizona Aussie.

Dr. Randee Lambert is a veterinarian from Australia, but she's on sabbatical from her profession to model western wear while trick riding and preforming stunts. Her next job is on a ranch in Arizona

Scott Harrison, owner of that ranch, is recovering from injuries he received from the last air-headed female that set foot on his ranch. There's no way he's going to allow another one anywhere near his place.

So why is there a beautiful blond in the pen with his prize Brahma bull? And why, exactly, is his prize Brahma bull sporting an injured leg?



When Aussie vet meets Arizona rancher it's the beginning of World War III, and this time the two countries are not allies.

This is such a fun, happy story, and I found myself laughing out loud in several places. It also made me think about the verse from Proverbs..."as iron sharpeneth iron..." Randee and Scott need some rough edges knocked of their personalities, and like iron striking iron, sparks fly every time they come in contact with each other.

I really appreciate how this writer makes faith and Christian principles a natural, integral part of her stories and her characters' lives. It doesn't feel forced or added at the last minute to help the story qualify as "inspirational" romance.

Need a fun, Christian romance to read? Check out Arizona Aussie. It'll make you smile; maybe even laugh out loud!

When Love is wRight

I have read through a bunch of shorter-length e-books from Amazon lately, taking advantage of the inexpensive or even free e-books offered. It's a good way to find new authors and have something quick to read when time is short.

And this week I found a little gem. When Love is wRight by SQ Eads.

The story has elements that I love; a spunky, independent heroine and a pure, 100% alpha-male hero. The story opens with a comedy of errors where the heroine proposes to the hero. She's not serious. He is. And the fight...er, chase...is on.

The story is not all that long, in paperback only 298 pages, but the characters are well-fleshed out, including some very interesting secondary characters, and the scenery in the book is drawn so well I could see it in my head very vividly. By the end of the book, the location reminded me of the old John Wayne movie Hatari!, which I love.

If you're looking for a fun, delightful romance, look no further than When Love is wRight. The paperback is under $10, and the Kindle version is under $5 right now. As for me, I'm off to check into more SQ Eads reads.

Happy reading!

Arizona Redemption is Now Available

Arizona Redemption is now available for Kindle, Nook and also available in paperback on Amazon.  It is the latest of my novels and it is loaded with sketches of Bisbee, Arizona, my hometown and the setting for the story.   Although the sketches by Charles Turner are in all versions they reproduced best in the paperback.  Here is a quick look at the storyline:

Mistaken for a man. Pounded and crushed. Then, offered a job she can't turn down, Tori Stilman wonders if she has just entered the Twilight Zone. The tough, street-wise scrapper, raised on the inner-city streets of San Diego, is on the run. However, a need for immediate funds and a desire to provide a new life for her sister and ward, convince her to try out the small town in Arizona.

Lance Manning, sucker for the underdog, falls under Tori's spell from the beginning. But, his strong faith causes a clash of emotions – don't hook up with an unbeliever, yet be a good Samaritan, showing love to others. Be a friend, but don't lead her on.

Tori comes into their friendship with more baggage than a cruise ship, and Lance wears his hero cape that reads “I fix everything.”

Between the two, there are more ups and downs than a roller coaster. But, all things are possible with God and anything can happen in Bisbee, Arizona.

Let me know if you get the novel and what you think of it.
