     I loved this story! This book is a Biblical fiction story that centers on Michal, the wife of David. I have not read many books like this one, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

    Jill’s descriptive prose pulled me in and set me smack in the middle of an ancient kingdom and the people who lived there. I came to understand and care about her characters and the struggles and triumphs they experienced. The relationship between David and Michal is passionate and interesting and, at times, heart-breaking.

     The real story of David and Michal is found in the Holy Bible, 1^st and 2^nd Samuel. I believe that Jill stayed close to the scriptural account and filled in the ‘blanks’ in creative, yet realistic ways.

     If you like historical fiction and romance stories (without graphic sexual content) then this book would be a good choice for you.

FYI, at the time of this review Michal is free on Amazon.

Thanks, and God Bless!

My review of SUBMERGED by Dani Pettrey

SUBMERGED               

By Dani Pettrey

This is the first inspirational romantic suspense novel I have read and I did enjoy it.

The first thing I noticed about this story was the setting. I have never been to Alaska, but I have always wanted to go. The rugged, remote, fictional area this story takes place in is perfect not just as a backdrop, but almost like another character.

I liked the fact that the relationship between the main characters, Bailey and Cole, while it develops and changes, it remains chaste. So many authors resort to graphic and detailed sexual content to sell their stories and I applaud Ms. Pettrey for keeping it clean. I also really liked the way her Christian characters behaved like real people who happened to be caught up in something awful, but kept their integrity and remained true to their faith.

If you like suspense and solving mysteries, but do not care for graphic, bloody details and excessive violence this would be a good choice for you.

I look forward to reading more of Dani Pettrey’s work.

Thanks, and God Bless,
