*I’m giving away one copy of Dani Pettrey’s Submerged.
Read below for contest rules*
For those of us who prefer contemporary works, January’s offerings are very slim. I’ve only one new release on my to-read list, but I’m certain that one novel is a winner.
SHATTERED (Alaskan Courage Series, #2) by Dani Pettrey (Bethany House, 2013) – The sophomore work following Dani Pettrey’s popular Submerged brings us back to Alaska, rejoining the McKenna family. If you enjoy romantic suspense, check out this series.
Shattered Story Description:
Piper McKenna couldn’t be more thrilled that her prodigal brother, Reef, has returned to Yancey, Alaska, after five years. But her happiness is short-lived when Reef appears at her house covered in blood. A fellow snowboarder has been killed–but despite the evidence, Reef swears he’s innocent. And Piper believes him.
Deputy Landon Grainger loves the McKennas like family, but he’s also sworn to find the truth. Piper is frustrated with his need for facts over faith, but he knows those closest to you have the power to deceive you the most. With his sheriff pushing for a quick conviction, some unexpected leads complicate the investigation, and pursuing the truth may mean risking Landon’s career.
With Piper waging her own search, the two head deep into Canada’s rugged backcountry–and unexpected complications. Not only does their long friendship seem to be turning into something more, but this dangerous case is becoming deadlier with each step.

(These are the books that are in my read now or soon pile.)
Dani- Just a note, I absolutely can’t wait to read your next novel! I thoroughly enjoyed “Submerged.” It is one of the best Christian Romantic Suspense Novels of 2012!
Michelle – I’ve read Full Disclosure already. I’m sure you’ll love it. It’s so good to see Dee Henderson writing again.
I had to check out all your other books–looks like they’ll go on my to-read list.
The book that I am reading now is Plain Paradise by Beth Wiseman. Thank you for the giveaway, I would love to put Submerged on my bookshelf.
You’re welcome, Katie. I know you’d love Submerged!
I am currently reading A Stranger in Wynnedower by Grace Greene.
Thank you for this giveaway. I have seen Submerged before, but I never got a copy to read. This isn’t usually the genre I read, but this one’s description is captivating! 🙂
Exodus 14:14
Hi Amada – It is a captivating story. Hope you give it a try.
Right now, I am in the middle of the book The Shack by WM. Paul Young.
I’m curious how you’re liking The Shack–there’s a book that creates some heated discussion.
Yes, I have heard about the controversy. So far, I am in the middle of the book and I find it very intriguing. It’s certainly a book that will make you think. I’m anxious to finish it.
Yes, it certainly does make you think. I’d love to hear your thoughts once you finish it.
I’m reading Choices of the Heart by Laurie Alice Eakes and enjoying it! Thanks for the giveaway!
You’re welcome, Veronica. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Brenda,
I’d love to read this series. Alaska is one of my favorite places. Right now I am reading Gideon’s Call by Peter Leavell. I’m only about 60 pages into the book, but so far, it is a very interesting and intriguing story.
Kay – that book is on my to-read list. I’d love to hear what you think about it when you’re done.
I will let you know! I’m also reading a couple of non-fiction books, so I’m not moving along as quickly as I’d like. It will probably be several days.
I’m reading “Hush, Little Baby by Deborah Piccurelli
I had to look that book up, Jo. It sounds very intriguing.
It really is quite interesting!
Blessings,
Jo
I have read the book, “Submerged” by Dani Pettrey and can’t wait for “Shattered” to be released.
I have just started, “Nowhere to Run” by Amy Wallace. This is the second book in the “Place of Refuge” series. I could not put down the first one, “Hiding in Plain Sight”.
She has combined Amish & Suspense and came up with a winner.
Janet – Amy Wallace is one of my favorite authors. Have you read her Defenders of Hope series? That’s some of the best romantic suspense I’ve read.
Currently reading:
A Plain Scandal by A Flower
The Wedding Dress by R Hauck
The Amish Bride by MS Clark and L Gould

I’m impressed that you can read so many at once! Great choices, Amy!
I’m currently reading ‘Her Good Name’ by Ruth Axtell on my Kindle, and ‘Thunder & rain’ by Charles Martin is what I have on my nightstand to read before bed.
Oh, Charles Martin is one of my absolute favorite authors! Thunder and Rain was phenomenal. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
He is a great writer, now that I am reading this one I’m already wondering what he has coming out next, and when=)
His next book, Unwritten, comes out in May. I can’t wait!
Have you read any of his other works? I especially enjoy his earlier novels.
I think I have read them all. Some of those earlier ones really tug at your heart strings! At some point I will probably go back and re-read some of them!
Thanks for the info about Unwritten, I looked it up on Amazon…
I’m reading The Breath of Dawn by Kristen Heitzmann. It is a wonderful book!
pbclark(at)netins(dot)net
Beth – Breath of Dawn is on my to-read list, but first I have to finish re-reading the first two books in the series, Rush of Wings and The Still of Night. (I’m about 1/3 of the way through Still of Night.) I read them years ago when they first came out–they’re what introduced me to Kristen Heitzmann’s fabulous storytelling.
Did you read the other books before Breath of Dawn?
I am currently reading The Memory Jar by Tricia Goyer. Thanks for the giveaway. I would love to read this book.
You’re very welcome, Maryann! Thanks for stopping by today!
I am currently reading Full Disclosure by Dee Henderson, Ryan’s Crossing by Carrie Daws, Callie’s Mountain by Katt Anderson (e-book), With Every Letter by Sarah Sundin, Don’t Take Any Wooden Nickles by Mindy Starns Clark, A Steal Of A Deal by Ginny Aiken. I started Sanctuary by Ted Dekker, Book Of Days by James Rubart, Interior Motives by Ginny Aiken, but I need to re-check them out from the library so I can finish. Gee, it looks like I do nothing but read, but I really do so other things now and then 😉
Well there could be worse things for you to do than read–and it looks like you have several excellent & diverse books going at the same time. I’m impressed!
I’m currently in between books right now. The one I just finished is Love’s Reckoning by Laura Frantz. It was SO GOOD!
Would love to win Submerged! Haven’t had a chance to read it yet.
Love’s Reckoning was one of my favorite reads of 2012. Laura Frantz is an immensely gifted author. I can’t wait to read her 2nd book in the Ballantyne Legacy series.
Thank you for a wonderful review of Dani’s newest release, and for the opportunity to win a copy of Submerged! I’m reading “Devotion” by Marianne Evans, and it’s very good!
I’ve got Devotion on my to-read list. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it!
I am reading Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy and Dreams That Won’t Let Go by Stacy Hawkins Adams. This sounds like a great book. Thanks for having the giveaway.
Rose – one thing I need to do is add more classics to my reading list again. Anna Karenina should be at the top of that list.
Hello Brenda. I am reading “The Gifted” by Ann Gabhart”. It is my first about Shakers. Hadn’t heard of them until I saw her on FB. I had several started but have to just read 1 at a time to keep things right. I am a slow reader compared to some of these I see online. Got some good ones to read tho,, but need to quit spending so much time on my FB authors inb order to read. And, that is hard to do. I was on a chat party with Dani and a couple of others once. It was a Video Chat Party. My first successful one. It was fun. and Submerged was the book she was launching. But, I didn’t win anything. Maybe will this time. Thanks! Maxie mac262@me.com
Maybe this will be your time, Maxie.
Just started reading Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker
That looks like a fascinating book, Karen.
