Review - The Breakup Project by Carolyn Miller
About The Author
Carolyn Miller is an Inspirational romance author who lives in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia with her husband and four children. She has a BA in English Literature and is a big Jane Austen fan. She writes Regency novels and contemporary romances, including her hockey series, Original Six. Carolyn says she “loves drawing readers into fictional worlds that show the truth of God’s grace in our lives.”
On the author’s website, she tells the story of how the idea for this series came to her after watching the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010, where she witnessed an Aussie female athlete holding hands with a US athlete at the closing ceremony. She wondered how two elite athletes from opposite sides of the world could sustain a relationship. Later that year, she and her husband went on a trip that included Boston, Prince Edward Island, Quebec City, Montreal, Muskoka, Niagara Falls and Chicago. These places later became the setting for her hockey series, Original Six.
The Breakup Project Book Description
New Year. New Resolution. New Romance?
What happens when the best-laid plans break a friendship?
As the twin sister of hockey’s hottest forward, romance-loving Bree Karlsson is used to being ignored, leading to a New Year’s resolution to not date any athlete in her attempt to find Mr. Right. But what happens when the man who might prove to be her personal Mr. Darcy is her brother’s hockey-playing best friend?
Mike Vaughan might be happy playing in Boston, but he’d be even happier if Bree could one day see him as more than a good friend. He agrees to help Bree with a special project in the hope she’ll finally see him as something more. But when a misunderstanding ends in a Valentine’s Day disaster, Bree realizes that her breakup project may have broken her friendship with Mike in two. Can she ever redeem her mistake?
This friends-to-more romance has plenty of heart, humor, and swoon-worthy kisses in this first book of the Original Six, a sweet, slightly sporty Christian contemporary romance series.
Patti Stephenson’s Review of The Breakup Project
I’ve read and enjoyed several of Carolyn Miller’s regency romances and was interested to read one of her contemporary fiction stories. “The Breakup Project” is the first book in this new series, and it’s clear that this author has a wonderful ability to have interesting storylines in both genres.
I have to admit at the beginning of this review that I know very little about the…
Review: The Dress Shop on King Street by Ashley Clark
This is Dana’s review. She chose the book from a list I made of books I found in Christian categories on Amazon. As the blog owner I purchased the book for her and neither of us has had any contact with the author or publisher. According to Amazon this book is 367 pages and it’s published by Bethany House Publishers.
About the Author
I like to include a little bit about the author when I can. I think it makes the book more interesting to know the person behind it. According to Ashley Clark’s website, she writes romantic women’s fiction set in the South. The Dress Shop on King Street was her debut novel but there are two others in the series so far and from what I read on Facebook the author states that they need not be read in order, maybe because she wrote them out of order. Ashley holds a Master’s degree in Creative Writing and teaches literature and writing courses. It took ten years for her to be published and she says that not giving up on God-dreams is the theme of The Dress Shop on King Street.

Review - Hidden Danger by Jerusha Agen
This is a review from Sheila, a member of our review team. As the blog owner I’m purchasing these books for the reviewers and neither of us has had any contact with the author or publisher. I’ve instructed them to be completely honest in their reviews. This book, Hidden Danger by Jerusha Agen, was found by me in a Christian category on Amazon. It’s 405 pages according to the Amazon website and is listed as Christian mystery, suspense, and romance.
About the Author
According to the author’s website, “Jerusha Agen writes unstoppable suspense that proclaims the truth and redemption of Jesus Christ.” I only found two books authored by Jerusha, which was one of the reasons I chose this book for the review team list. It’s important to me to highlight lesser known and new Christian authors on Christianbookfinds.com.
Her first book, Rising Danger, was published in 2021 by Love Inspired Trade. Her website features a Fear Warrior Blog with articles about fighting fear in our everyday lives, tips for writers, and an offer to skype with book clubs about her books. Jerusha has a B.A. in English and a background in the film industry. She enjoys baking, drawing, painting, cross-country skiing, and cuddling with her dogs and cats.

Review: Under the Bayou Moon by Valerie Fraser Luesse
Restless with the familiarity of her Alabama home, Ellie Fields accepts a teaching job in a tiny Louisiana town deep in bayou country. Though rightfully suspicious of outsiders, who have threatened both their language and their culture, most of the people in tiny Bernadette, Louisiana, come to appreciate the young and idealistic schoolteacher as a boon to the town. She's soon teaching just about everyone--and coming up against opposition from both the school board and a politician with ulterior motives.
Acclimating to a whole new world, Ellie meets a lonely but intriguing Cajun fisherman named Raphe who introduces her to the legendary white alligator that haunts these waters. Raphe and Ellie have barely found their way to each other when a huge bounty is offered for the elusive gator, bringing about a shocking turn of events that will test their love and their will to right a terrible wrong.
A master of the Southern novel, Valerie Fraser Luesse invites you to enter the sultry swamps of Louisiana in a story that illuminates the struggle for the heart and soul of the bayou.

Review: Good Brother No (A Picture Book for Children)
How I Came Across This Book
I like to begin my book reviews with how I came across the book to help address legal disclaimers. Good Brother No was given to me by the author in exchange for a review. He actually emailed me and asked me if I’d review it and I immediately wanted to say no. I don’t like to commit to reviews. I already have a few reviews I’m behind on posting or waiting to post when the book comes out and for some reason committing to a review just stresses me. So after the initial no I found out it was a kids book with a strong Christian theme and it was short so I said yes.
When my daughter was young and I was busy filling up our Kindles with free books, I used to run a site where I posted children’s book reviews almost daily and I’m a sucker for a well-made picture book. So when I caught a glimpse of Good Brother No’s illustrations I knew this was a book someone had taken their time with and put some love into.
What’s Inside
This is a biblical retelling of the account of Noah and the ark he built from the book of Genesis.
I found the illustrations of the animals somewhat …
