Last Resort by B. J. Robinson: Get Inside Faith Grace Roussell's Head

http://christianbookfestival.blogspot.com/ Faith Grace Roussell, what a character! September 8, 2012. Dear Diary, I was so happy to be home again until that stone came flying in the back kitchen window with an attached note. Words cut from a newspaper or magazine and glued to it made me shiver, so I grabbed the phone and dialed Matt's cell. Alarm blaring, Sunflower tucked her tail between her legs and hid underneath the kitchen table while I clutched my chest and held my breath until I heard pounding at the back door.

I vowed no man would turn my head, and I'd hide my heart so deeply in Christ that to find me a man would have to find him first. But can I keep that vow and lean on Matt? Will the true hidden treasures in God's Word be enough to keep me on the straight and narrow? I'm just a woman. Lord, I'm being stalked. All I wanted was a life of peace and contentment. Is that too much to ask after Fred? And Matt, his eyes could melt the ice-maiden barrier I've built around my heart as a fortress. They're like magnets, and I could get as lost in them as in unknown woods. What's a woman to do? Would he prove to be a helpmate, or just another strawberry cull like Fred? I didn't dream I'd continue to be pursued. I've lived through shattered dreams and nightmares. There's only one place I can turn. There's only one last resort.

Watch the book trailer. Another dream is shattered when the safe haven of the old family home and the backdrop of a strawberry farm turns dangerous.

Review Excerpts: See the complete reviews on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Good Reads.

B.J. Robinson writes with flair. She manages to incorporate her own love for God in a well-written, romantic, suspense novel.

I immensely enjoyed this sweet romance, filled with suspense and plot twists. I loved Faith, she was not only a believer, but that belief was carried out in her daily life. Through prayer and trusting God, even when she was called to take extreme measures to protect her life and the life of the man she loved. I look forward to reading more wonderful novels from, B. J. Robinson. Dr. Rita Garcia

Wonderful book! Grabs the reader from the very first page. Excellent writing from a new writer, cannot wait to see what her writing future holds.

What a great story! I loved how you drew your readers in so quickly and then constantly threw in twists and turns for them to deal with. Many women deal with losing what they thought was the love of their life to a failed relationship--it's their attitude that determines how they proceed on from there. By letting God lead her through the fiery trials that came her way, and trusting Him in the most difficult of times, Faith found her true destiny in life and love and it was everything she had ever dreamed of. This is a fabulous story of love, real life and how a positive attitude in Christ can lead you through even the most difficult times! I highly recommend it and know you will leave the book feeling inspired and encouraged in your walk in the Lord!

Set in fictional Bridal Wreath, Florida, and Key West, the backdrop of a strawberry farm turns dangerous for Faith, when she's stalked. Will she be forced to use The Pink Lady? Find out today with home delivery in a few minutes. Smoking hot--where will Faith be when the smoke clears and will Faith and Matt's love survive? Five-star reviews on Amazon and B&N. Both men and women readers. Free sample.

She's pursued by an ex-fiancé, shattered dreams, an awesome God, and a cowboy farmer. There's only one place she can turn . . . .There's only one last resort
Here's what one reader had to say: You will absolutely love Last Resort. The characters will pull you in and make you part of their world. B.J. Robinson weaves in faith in a way that will catch you off guard as you connect the dots and apply it to your own life. I did not want Last Resort to end. I recommend it with confidence and can't wait to see what is on the horizon for this new novelist.

Last Resort is a 79,000 word woman-in-jeopardy novel that tells the story of Faith Grace Roussell, who escapes an abusive fiancé and endeavors to start a new life filled with peace and contentment. She returns to her family home to farm strawberries only to discover it's not the safe haven she hoped it'd be when the backdrop of the berry farm suddenly turns dangerous. The ones she thought would welcome her want her gone, but she vows to stand firm. Will Matt's love survive?

The Betrayal by Jerry B. Jenkins is 37 chapters and an epilogue of police intrigue published by Tyndale House Publishers, copyright 2011. A massive sting involves a higher-up in the Chicago Police Department and the main character Boone is critically wounded and hospitalized in the line of duty as he tries to protect the star witness at all costs. He literally puts his life on the line. Trusting the wrong person could be a fatal mistake, one he can't afford if he's going to survive. How can he keep the witness and his family safe when it's an officer on the inside, sworn to protect and serve, whom they have to fear? A unique plan is put into action, but can it succeed? Between the officers of the law that can't be trusted and the gangbangers it looks like a hopeless situation when Boone and his new interest are both victims of a department they thought they could trust. Jerry B. Jenkins's novels have sold over 70 million copies, and twenty of his books made the New York Times Best Seller List. Books such as Riven, The Brotherhood, and The Left Behind Series will live in your mind long after you've closed them. If you're a fan of crime or police procedures, you'll love this novel. I'm more of a romantic suspense lover, but I never turn down a Jerry B. Jenkins's novel. I did think the pizza guy a bit cliché, and the transport unique. I've been a Jerry B. Jenkins's fan since The Left Behind Series, and if his name is on a book, I want to read it. I know it'll be a worthwhile read. I loved the minor character brought in near the end, Carl, who remained street savy enough to protect them even past his retirement. Boone stood out as someone who is very determined and never gives up since despite serious wounds, he was right back on the case. The unique transport system made me wounder a bit though, since most people wouldn't resort to that first off and would try other avenues to alleviate the problem first. All in all, this novel will make you think twice about betrayal and reminds one of how Jesus was betrayed by those close to Him. Someone in the Chicago PD family is a betrayer, but who? That's the question Boone must answer if he wants to live and save his girlfriend. Available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.com, wherever great books are sold.

A U.S. Murder South Carolina by Lynette Hall Hampton

Have you ever just wanted to get away? Are you have a Calagon moment? Hop on over to Faith, Friends, and Fiction and take a breather. Enjoy. http://faith-fiction-friends.blogspot.com/

A U.S. Murder in South Carolina by Lynette Hall Hampton is a full-length romantic suspense released by Desert Breeze Publishing, Inc. in July 2011. Thirty something chapters keep the reader guessing as Nola Dean falls for a handsome detective. Lots of handsome young men could be the killer. Who is he? Will the slick smooth talker keep evading the police until he snuffs out Nola Dean's life like he does a couple others? I love the red herrings and foreshadowing. If you like mystery, suspense, and romance, this book will make a great summer read. I really enjoyed it. It's available at Desert Breeze, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.com. And, it's the first in a series. Look for A U.S. Murder in North Carolina and A U.S. Murder in Georgia in 2012. I know I will. Have a little fun deciphering the hints and clues along the way. Grab this book and put the puzzle together.

Reinventing Leona by Lynne Gentry

Reinventing Leona by Lynne Gentry published by Tyndale's Digital First program in June 2011 is full of figurative language and realistic characters. I loved Lynne's writing style and her creative use of words and quips. The book hooked me with the first chapter, and I wanted to keep reading to find out what happened. It's fast paced and an easy read. Though one part of the novel was predictable, there were a few surprises along the way, and I could just picture the characters, since they were so vividly illustrated. Annoying as some were, they proved their value in the end and that they were really true friends. This is a novel where you can say the characters make it a gem. I loved the laugh near the end, and I especially loved the methods the author used to demonstrate how a preacher's life and a preacher's wife's life aren't easy. I feel the characters were realistically portrayed by showing them all as mere humans and none of them as perfect, even though they were Christians. The vivid descriptions of the looks in their eyes and on their faces were awesome.

Book Review by B. J. Robinson

Trials of Today, Treasures for Tomorrow: Overcoming Adversities in Lifeby Janet Perz Eckles
Truly amazing Janet Eckles, completely blind, but with more insight than most sighted people, has written a true jewel within the pages of Trials of Today, Treasures for Tomorrow: Overcoming Adversities in Life. With more personal crosses to bear than most, like the loss of her sight and her son, Janet’s book is inspiring, encouraging, and courageous, like her. She has taken her trials and turned them to treasures for the glory of the Lord. Janet is bubbly and full of joy, a spectacular speaker and gifted writer.

Her nonfiction book takes you on a journey of discovery, as she learns to put her faith and trust in God. When she put Jesus first, He blessed her and turned her life around. If you’ve ever lost a loved one, don’t miss how she deals with her loss. Discover the good news and blessings she has to share. Find out why good people suffer and discover how God uses the bad things that happen to good people for good. Though blind, you'd never know it to meet her. Her book describes how she puts on her own makeup and does her own nails without sight, but even more awe-inspiring is the fact that she never worked when she was sighted, but found the position she was meant to serve in once she lost her sight.

Just as she does in person, her book will evoke strong reader emotions and make you laugh and cry. While sad, it resounds with the joy that overflows from Janet upon meeting her and turns her cross into triumph to truly serve and glorify God while helping others. Don’t miss the journey of a lifetime, Janet’s lifetime, as you turn the pages of a book you won’t want to put down.

Her book makes a wonderful Bible study group guide and Part III of the book actually contains such a guide with thought-provoking questions designed to enhance the spiritual journey.

Published by Xulon Press in 2004, the book may be purchased through Amazon, Xulon, and other book stores. It is a beautiful paperback well worth the reasonable price of $12.47 at Amazon. ISBN number ISBN1-594674-36-1. Visit www.amazon.com and get your own copy while it’s on sale! This book will make a wonderful gift for people in your life who are dealing with the loss of loved ones or other obstacles in life.

Stealing Jake by Pam Hillman

Stealing Jake by Pam Hillman, copyright 2011, published by Tyndale is twenty-nine chapters of light, sweet romance between Livy Lightfingers and Jake Russell. Livy pickpocketed to survive on the Chicago streets, so she knows all about child labor and sweatshops, the theme of this novel. It makes a great beach or weekend read because it's fast paced, quick and easy to read, and I enjoyed it. Livy moves to Chestnut and becomes a Christian under the influence of Mrs. Brooks, but she feels even though God has forgiven her and given her a clean slate with her former sins washed in the blood of the lamb, she'll never be able to live a normal life and be free of her past. She doesn't count on falling in love, marriage, or children, but Deputy Jake Russell makes her think again. This historical romance would make an excellent novel for school use if the curriculum involves child labor laws. I highly recommend it. Homeschool moms should check it out as a novel that can help maintain reading skills as well as teach a part of history. Ladies, if you love sweet romance, the romance that sparks between Livy and the handsome deputy will make your read. Livy has a rival in a schoolteacher who has her hat set for Jake, but he's interested in Livy. Will he change his mind when he discovers her past? She not only picked pockets, but was also a master at locks. Don't miss this little gem. This is a novel for moms as well as young adults.
