An Honorable Deception

 


***1/2
PG
{SM}
Could Easily Recommend

This concluding book in The Imposters series was an apt climax...starting off with an attempted murder and ending with quite the literal show!  I enjoyed it.  However, there is definitely a warning for {Subject Matter} as it deals heavily with sexual abuse and men with very loose morals.  But the story is very good and all around well done.  I can easily recommend this book!

Let Them

Probably Won't Recommend

Here is the next installment in my non fiction for 2026.
I knew about this theory going into the book and my appreciation for the idea increased as I read.
It really is a simply, yet profound idea that everyone would do well to implement in their lives.
However, I did not appreciate the {Language}.  It was not bad at all in the beginning but I felt like it became increasingly worse as the book went on and culminated in an F bomb which really frustrated me.   I recommend the IDEA to everyone but probably won't recommend the book because of the {L}.

A Noble Scheme

 


****
PG
Easily Recommend

It had been a while since I had read the first book in this series but I remember really liking it.
I was a bit confused at first because of the circumstances in the beginning of the book and actually googled what had happened at the end of the first book thinking I had just forgotten something.  It turns out however, the author was super clever in her writing and you don't find out until about a third of the way into the book a critical piece of the main characters' histories and then everything makes sense.
It was a great read and like many of Roseanna White's book has a Christian thread running through it.
The only thing I struggled with was how it ended...an emphasis on a married couple's intimate relationship...always a little disappointing even when it is handled "appropriately".
I am anxious to read the third in the series though and will recommend this emotional second installment :)

I really like Roseanna White as an author and I believe this is the first of her modern day stories I have read.  I know her more as an historical fiction author.  Even though it's not my usual genre I still enjoyed it.  It was very clean and had Christian undertones.  The only reason I didn't rate it G is because of a backstory we find out about.  It was a pretty quick read and easy to pick up.  I could recommend it without a problem.
