Book Review of 'Somebody's Rose' by Marla Melior

Happy Monday Bookworms!

Anyone who knows me know how much I love nostalgic eras, particularly right after the second world war all the way through to the 1960's. I love that time in history. The tide was turning, change was happening, and I would've loved to have had a front-row seat for all of it. I think that's why I enjoy historical fictions that are set during this time period as I truly feel like I get to witness that era and it makes my historical loving heart so giddy.

I hope you enjoy my thoughts on this Historical Women's Fiction and let me know in the comments if you're a history buff like myself and if so what is your favorite time period to study?

About the Book

Title: Somebody's Rose 

Author: Marla Melior

Publisher: Independently Published

Release Date: September 23, 2025 

Genre: Historical Fiction

When the manuscript arrives at the office of a small publishing company, it has no return address. The required postage is affixed and is made up of a hodgepodge of random stamps. The manuscript itself is typed… typed on an old manual typewriter. On top is a simple note that reads:

I don’t want any money. I just want everyone to know about my Rose.

And thus begins a memoir about a lovely lady named Rose and the man who has been in love with her ever since he was ten years old.

In her signature style, Marla Melior presents this nostalgic, through-the-ages look at lasting love set against a backdrop of American history and pop culture. This is a true celebration of love and marriage and serves as a tribute to our nation and its heroes. Fall in love with Rose and our anonymous narrator as this young couple builds a life together, and learn why every woman in the world wants to be somebody's Rose.

Book Review of 'Julia' by Heather B. Moore

Happy Thursday Bookworms!

If you've been following me for any length of time, you know that I am a sucker for a good historical fiction novel, particularly when it comes from Heather B. Moore. She has such an amazing talent for bringing real-life people to an even deeper understanding with her stories, and I feel so blessed that I was able to read her latest novel about the incomparable Julia Child. I hope you enjoy my thoughts on this amazing historical fiction and let me know in the comments your thoughts on cooking in general. Do you cook, or are you like me and prefer others to cook for you?

About the Book

Title: Julia 

Author: Heather B. Moore

Publisher: Shadow Mountain Publishing

Release Date: September 2, 2025 

Genre: Historical Fiction

"This is a lovely historical fiction that draws us into Julia’s world. While everyone knows about her cooking, the details of her life in the OSS, trusted with America’s secrets during WWII, are lesser known and very intriguing. The book is well-researched, but it manages to stay warm and inviting, just as she was. Highly recommended." -Historical Novel Society

Before she stepped into the spotlight as a master of French cooking, Julia Child navigated the shadows as a WWII intelligence officer.

On the sunny shores of California, Julia McWilliams is poised to embrace a life of comfort and financial security, with a marriage proposal from a wealthy man to consider. But as World War II erupts in the US, her patriotic fervor compels her to abandon her secure future. Trading country clubs for covert codes, Julia joins the Office of Strategic Services, where her sharp mind aids the Allied cause in the shadowy realm of espionage.

Amid strategic missions in Ceylon and China, Julia crosses paths with Paul Child, a fellow OSS officer whose delight in art, culture, and cuisine awakens a new hunger within her. Their chance meetings ignite a spark that blossoms into romance, leading to a proposal that Julia eagerly accepts. Together they embark on a new chapter in postwar Paris.

In the City of Light, Julia grapples with a different kind of challenge: She refuses to be confined by the societal expectations of a married woman. Drawn to the tantalizing world of French gastronomy—a pursuit her peers deem superfluous—she enrolls at the famed Le Cordon Bleu, and with Paul’s unwavering support, Julia immerses herself in her new passion.

Facing skepticism and prejudice in the male-dominated kitchens of Paris, Julia’s resolve never falters. Her relentless pursuit of culinary mastery not only transforms her own life but also introduces a revolutionary change in kitchens throughout America. From intelligence officer to beloved chef, this is Julia’s extraordinary journey.

That's why I am so excited to share an excerpt from a newly released Western Action & Adventure!

Author: Lenora Worth

Genre: Sweet Cozy Romance

"One day I’m going to marry you..." 

Jake Harper had said those words to Vanessa Conroy since kindergarten, but after watching her parents’ bitter divorce and living with her mother’s devastation, Vanessa made a promise to herself—she’s never getting married. She’ll stay single and pursue her dream of being a ready-to-wear fashion designer. 

In high school, Vanessa dated and broke up with every bad boy in the book, while Jake remained her consistent buddy. He was her wingman, her best friend, her go-to person for special occasions, but she held him at a distance. Why ruin a wonderful friendship? On the night of their final prom, Jake takes a risk and kisses her. Stunned by how right it feels, Vanessa rashly blurts out a deal: if they’re still single at thirty, maybe she’ll marry him. 

 
Now, thirteen years later, they’re back in Sweetheart Bay to be part of her sister’s wedding. And they’re both still single at thirty. Vanessa begins to see Jake in a new, more romantic light, but Jake, a successful architect living in California, hasn’t said a word about their old pact. 

As family drama bubbles and old feelings resurface, Vanessa must face the one possibility she’s always run from: what if her true love has been standing beside her all along? Can she and Jake find their happily-ever-after back on Sweetheart Bay?

About the Book

Title: Singing Through Fire 
Author: Lara Silverman, J.D. 
Publisher: Isaiah 4320 Press 
Release Date: August 26, 2025 
Genre: Christian Romance/Memoir

What if you fall madly in love on the brink of eternity?   

Singing Through Fire invites readers into the Job-like true story of a young woman who loses everything—and dares to ask why a good God allows it. 

When Stanford Law graduate Lara Palanjian collapses on her dream job, she never imagines it will lead to four years bedridden—or to the love of her life. 

Enter Matthew Silverman: a witty, wise, and impossibly joyful youth pastor and professor facing terminal cancer. What begins with a few random encounters soon ignites an extraordinary, God-written love story that neither of them saw coming. 

As their unlikely romance unfolds between medical crises, late-night laughter, and unexpected musical performances, Matthew’s unshakable faith challenges everything Lara thinks she knows about God’s goodness—and what it means to walk with Christlike faith, resilience, and joy in the face of overwhelming grief and suffering. 

But with time against them, one question looms louder than the rest: What if this gift is only for a moment? 

Shockingly funny and spiritually rich, Singing Through Fire is a modern-day Job meets Lucille Ball. It explores what it means to suffer, love, and even laugh and make music while your life is burning down around you. It eloquently gives voice to the aching questions many sufferers quietly carry—then takes readers inside the breathtaking story of two people who found miraculous love and defiant joy amid heartbreaking loss. 

It reveals how God can use even our deepest pain to write the most beautiful love stories—even on the cusp of eternity.

About the Book 

Title: Canyon of Deceit 

Author: DiAnn Mills 

Publisher: Tyndale Fiction 

Release Date: September 9, 2025 

Genre: Romantic Mystery & Suspense 

A rescue team searches for a missing young girl and suspects all is not as it seems in this high-stakes romantic suspense novel from the author of Lethal Standoff and Facing the Enemy. 

When wilderness survival expert Therese Palmer receives a frantic phone call from former colleague Professor Rurik Ivanov, she is shocked by the news that his young daughter, Alina, is missing—and that Rurik wants Therese’s help finding her. She’s sure Rurik hasn’t given her the whole story . . . especially since he refuses to report the kidnapping to the police. Yet with a child’s life hanging in the balance, Therese can’t turn down this mission. She knows the clock is ticking and she can’t do this alone. 

Therese reaches out to Texas Ranger Blane Gardner, whom she met seven months ago during one of her training courses in wilderness survival skills. Blane’s specialized training and background with the Crisis Negotiation Unit make him uniquely prepared for this search-and-rescue mission. He agrees to help Therese and to accept Rurik’s terms to keep Alina’s disappearance quiet, and as the two begin working together, Therese is determined the spark growing between them won’t distract from their mission to save Alina. 

Traversing deep into the desert of Guadalupe Mountains National Park, Alina’s last known location, Therese and Blane struggle to separate truth from lies within the mix of intel they’re receiving. As they close in on answers that suggest the involvement of Russian organized crime and a high-profile international assassination attempt, they must fight to rescue Alina before she becomes an innocent casualty of a much bigger plot—no matter the risk to their own lives.
