Highland Doc’s Christmas Rescue by Susan Carlisle

Cassandra is a rescue worker that had an injury in the line of duty and came to a rehab facility in Scotland, where she meets the manager of the clinic, Lyle Sinclair, who is in the rescue business too in his spare time in his little corner of the world. He loves his position at this clinic but is being pressured by his father to go back into active military duty. Cassandra is not sure what she will do when she is discharged from care at the clinic. She doesn’t know if she can do rescue work again after the loss of her dog who died saving her.

This is an interesting story. I loved the location – the highlands of Scotland. The people in the story were people you would want to get acquainted with. This is one of those stories you don’t want to put down until you finish it.

New Beginnings at Promise Lodge by Charlotte Hubbard

This is another installment of the story about Promise Lodge, a new community where Old Order Amish and Mennonites are allowed to put down roots. The story involves two of the characters from earlier stories, a widow, Frances Lehman and Preacher Martin Kurtz, as well as most of the other characters from previous stories and a couple of new ones.

I enjoy all of this author’s books and am always eagerly awaiting the next part of the story. This story was no exception. I enjoyed it thoroughly like a visit with old friends. There are compelling characters and a wonderful concept here with the Promise Lodge community. Lots of smiles and a few tears and even some surprises are here. Loved every minute!

Texas Forever by Janet Dailey

This is a great Western Romance in typical Janet Dailey style. Erin Tyler is the boss’s daughter on a big Western ranch. She is only interested in filling her father’s boots on the ranch Luke Maddox is hired on as a farrier. There is pretty immediate attraction on both sides but the boss is not on board with the idea. Meanwhile there’s someone out there shooting at people.


This one keeps you guessing about the characters in the story and their involvement in what is taking place. This is one of those stories you don’t want to put down until you figure it all out.
