Anonymous Patron's Review: This story was amazing! I literally could not put it down! This was a wonderful love story about two people you would not think should be together until all the "pieces" unfold. I am looking forward to reading the author's other books.

Genre: Christian Fiction/Romantic Suspense
Audience: Adult
Series: Guardians of Justice #2
Heather's Summary & Review: The story of Allison Taylor and Mitch Morgan pursuing their admiration and affection for each other has enough love, adventure, and danger to keep the reader wanting to know "What happens next?" There was enough character development to understand the good guys from the bad guys but still leave a little suspicion and doubt of some of the characters' overall intentions and roles in the story. The theme of faith and belief in God is dispersed throughout the story, helping the reader see connections to events and understand why things happen from a spiritual standpoint. The book is a great example of how when a person puts his/her trust in God, even the most dangerous of situations can become a moment of strength and courage.

Marie's Review:
Liberator is the 4th book in a series "Dragons of Starlight." I found the books to be interesting and captivating. Davis has created a world within a world with a lot of intriguing characters. This keeps you guessing as to the outcome and actually who the good guys are and who will prevail.

Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire was a wonderful book!!! I feel in love with the characters.... too bad this isn't a series...
BCPL - please purchase this author's other books! I will be sure to check them out. :)
I've got good news for you, Jessica! Although there isn't a technical sequel to Beautiful Disaster planned, those who can't get enough of Travis and Pidge can read Walking Disaster, which is their story from Travis's POV. Also, Jamie McGuire is planning to write Travis's brothers' stories as well!
As to your suggestion that we purchase more Jamie McGuire books: I'm on it. I will send some titles to our Technical Services Department today for consideration. (If some of the older titles are unavailable, you might also want to try our Interlibrary Loan service: http://www.bcplib.org/about/services.html#ILL)
Tracy - that is wonderful! I am looking forward to readint them all! :)
This is cool!
I've never seen that crochet book, but I definitely want to check it out! Finishing is always the hardest part for me.
