About the Book

Title: A Divine Romance 

Author: Ifueko Ogbomo 

Publisher: InspiroLogos Publishing 

Release Date: February 14, 2023 

Genre: Historical Romance Biblical Fiction 

Hers is the flawless face no man has seen—except her father. 

His is the foreign face everyone reveres—save his family. 

The royal decree that couples this unlikely pair will make or break the history of an ancient empire.

Considered a gift from the sun god due to her arresting eyes, Asenath was veiled in childhood and destined to marry Egyptian royalty. The 17-year-old is resigned to a loveless future in the royal harem, when Pharaoh’s shocking declaration forces her to marry the new vizier of Egypt—a mystical foreigner with powers of divination. 

Known as Zaphnath-Paaneah, her husband turns out to be handsome, charming, and possibly insane since he worships an invisible god and expects her—the daughter of a high priest—to do the same. Facing a fate seemingly worse than that she grew up dreading, she desperately searches for a way out of the arranged marriage. The secrets she uncovers usher her into a world of intrigue and treachery that questions all her beliefs about men, gods, and love. Will theirs be the most monumental mismatch made in Egyptian history, or will her daring demand for a sign from his god make all her childhood fantasies come true? 

Combining original poetry with well-researched history, A Divine Romance is an Own Voices retelling of a beloved Biblical tale that takes readers on a riveting journey through Ancient Egypt and introduces them to a fresh, poetic voice in Christian fiction.

“In a writing style reminiscent of Tessa Afshar, Ifueko Ogbomo spins a breathtaking tale readers won’t be able to put down!”

~ Heidi Chiavaroli, Carol Award-winning author of The Orchard House and Hope Beyond the Waves 

“A Divine Romance that will resonate in our hearts well past the last page.” ~ Toni Shiloh, Christy Award-winning author of In Search of a Prince 

“Gifted storytelling brings an intricate cast of characters to life and portrays the greatest kind of love there is . . ." ~ Jenna Van Mourik, author of Jerusalem’s Daughter

Book Review for Cooking for the CEO by Leah Busboom

HAPPY FEBRUARY BOOKWORMS!

I hope everyone is staying nice and warm on this frigid, icy day!  For those that are being impacted by the ice storms in Texas right along with me my prayers are with us all.  Thank goodness the power grid has held up, and I pray that it stays that way until the temperature creeps back up to above freezing in a few days.

I'm not a huge cold weather gal but I have to admit that I am enjoying cuddling up with my family and my puppy and watching lots of mindless television.  I am also enjoying quite a few novels, especially the one I am featuring today, Cooking for the CEO by Leah Busboom, the second installment in the Too Busy for Love series.

Author: Leah Busboom

Publisher: LBRB Consulting

Release Date: December 7, 2022

Genre: Clean Romantic Comedy

He's a casual T-shirt and flip-flops chef.  She's a serious button-down corporate leader.  How's their relationship ever going to work?

Ash:
I’ve been a personal chef for a variety of clients, but I’ve never had one like the lovely—yet cooking-challenged—Teddy. Despite her lack of kitchen skills, I’m drawn to her. She’s funny, smart, and keeps me on my toes. How am I going to win her over?

Teddy:
I admit that whenever I’m near a stove, the result turns out tasteless, unappetizing, or unfit to eat. With my sweet niece staying with me for the summer, I hired a personal chef to provide nutritious and delicious meals. Much to my surprise, I’m attracted to the hunky (younger) chef. I need to keep this relationship professional, but my heart isn’t in sync with my brain. How do I keep him from winning me over?

Ash and Teddy's relationship goes from one laugh-out-loud adventure to the next, including:
A lecture on the history of dirt at a run-down museum
A swoon worthy incident with Neapolitan ice cream at a food truck named The Green Frog
And a sweet improv version of a Shakespeare classic play that you won't soon forget

Do these opposites-attract hero and heroine with opposing agendas find their HEA?

Cooking for the CEO is Book 2 in the hilarious new romantic comedy series Too Busy for Love. If you love Hallmark movies with the perfect blend of laugh-out-loud scenes and heart-touching moments, this book is for you. Fans of Emma St. Clair, Ellie Hall, and Savannah Scott will enjoy this new series of clean and wholesome stories filled with romance and comedy. This book may be read as a standalone.

Book Review of The Moonlight School by Suzanne Woods Fisher

HELLO BOOKWORMS!

Anyone who is on any type of bookish social media right now has seen the push for reading more from your stash in 2023.  This has been on my mind for months, and I am determined to start reading more books that I already own, and sharing my thoughts with the world.  

My first book to kick off my personal reading from my stash for the year is one that I have picked up and put down numerous times over the past few years for one reason or another, but I finally had a chance to sit down and give it my full attention, and I was blown away.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: The Moonlight School

Author: Suzanne Woods Fisher

Publisher: Revell

Release Date: February 2, 2021

Genre: Christian Historical Fiction

Haunted by her sister's mysterious disappearance, Lucy Wilson arrives in Rowan County, Kentucky, in the spring of 1911 to work for Cora Wilson Stewart, superintendent of education.

When Cora sends Lucy into the hills to act as scribe for the mountain people, she is repelled by the primitive conditions and intellectual poverty she encounters. Few adults can read and write.

Born in those hills, Cora knows the plague of illiteracy. So does Brother Wyatt, a singing schoolmaster who travels through the hills. Involving Lucy and Wyatt, Cora hatches a plan to open the schoolhouses to adults on moonlit nights. The best way to combat poverty, she believes, is to eliminate illiteracy. But will the people come? 

As Lucy emerges from a life in the shadows, she finds purpose; or maybe purpose finds her. With purpose comes answers to her questions, and something else she hadn't expected: love. 

Inspired by the true events of the Moonlight Schools, this standalone novel from bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher brings to life the story that shocked the nation into taking adult literacy seriously. You'll finish the last page of this enthralling story with deep gratitude for the gift of reading.

First Book Review of 2023: The Secret Society of Salzburg by Renee Ryan

HAPPY NEW YEAR BOOKWORMS!

I hope everyone has had a magical start to 2023!  The end of 2022 was extremely rough for me, thus the reason for my absence.  Not to go into too much graphic detail, but my stomach surgery came with a myriad of unknown complications which kept me in the hospital longer than expected, and has made my recovery very painful and excruciatingly slow.  It also meant that I completely missed out on the entire holiday season, including Christmas with my family, and I got sick again on New Years Eve, so the hits just keep on coming for 2023.

Despite everything I've been through I am looking forward to this year, and have high hopes that once I get over the my recovery that I will be stronger and better!  Thank you to everyone who has checked in on me, been praying for my recovery, and has been so patient with me.  You all are truly blessings and I thank God for each and every one of you.

Now, without further ado I give my FIRST REVIEW of 2023: The Secret Society of Salzbury by Renee Ryan.

From the author of The Widows of Champagne, and inspired by true events, comes a gripping and heartwrenching story of two very different women united to bring light to the darkest days of World War II.

London, 1933

Yet she and Hattie Featherstone forge an instant connection—and strike a dangerous alliance. Using their friendship as a cover, they form a secret society with a daring goal: to rescue as many Jews as possible from Nazi persecution. 

Though the war’s outbreak threatens Elsa and Hattie’s network, their efforts attract the covert attention of the British government, offering more opportunities to thwart the Germans. But Elsa’s growing fame as Hitler’s favorite opera singer, coupled with her secret Jewish ancestry, make her both a weapon and a target—until her future, too, hangs in the balance. 

From the glamorous stages of Covent Garden and Salzburg to the horrors of Bergen-Belsen,  two ordinary women swept up by the tide of war discover an extraordinary friendship—and the courage to save countless lives.
