My new pumpkin spice candle flickers in the dim evening light and I smile. The scent of autumn entices me to curl up with a book on the leather couch. Taken at Christmas captures my attention once more as I explore a new world of intrigue and fascinating characters.
I devour one of the best Love Inspired Suspense books I’ve read and sigh with satisfaction when I finish the last page. Jodie Bailey is a new favorite and I can’t wait for her next read. You don’t want to miss this one!
