In Perfect Time by Sarah Sundin

About the book: Bold, sophisticated, and flirtatious, Army Air Force flight nurse Lt. Kay Jobson collects hearts wherever she flies, leaving men pining in airfields all across Europe. So how can ruggedly handsome C-47 pilot Lt. Roger Cooper be all but immune to her considerable charms? In fact, he seems to do everything he can to avoid her.
Still, as they cross the skies between Italy and southern France, evacuating the wounded and delivering paratroopers and supplies, every beat of their hearts draws them closer to where they don't want to go.
Can they confront the fears and misunderstandings in their pasts?

My Take:  This is great addition to this series and even though this is a part of a series you don't need to have read the other books in order to enjoy this book.  I really liked reading about Kay's life and Roger's life.  I am a preacher's kid so I am always curious about how others have had the experience of being in a fishbowl.  Luckily I didn't have the type of father that Kay did.  My heart went out to her and it was a great plot point that Roger went out of his comfort zone to do what he feels the Lord wanted him too.  I have enjoyed each of these books.  

I received a review copy of this book from Litfuse in exchange for my honest review.

When I Fall in Love by Susan May Warren

About the book: 

Hawaii was the last place Grace Christiansen ever imagined she'd vacation, much less fall in love. But when her family surprises her with a cooking retreat in paradise, she is pulled-or maybe yanked-away from her predictable, safe life and thrown headfirst into the adventure of a lifetime.
Max Sharpe may make his living on the ice as a pro hockey player, but he feels most at home in the kitchen. Which is why he lives for the three-week culinary vacation he takes each year in Hawaii. Upon being paired with Grace for a cooking competition, Max finds himself drawn to her passion, confidence, and perseverance. But just when Grace dares to dream of a future beyond her hometown, Max pulls away.
Wrestling with personal demons, Max fights against opening his heart to a love he knows he should never hope for. And as his secrets unfold, Grace is torn between the safe path in front of her and what her heart truly desires. If love means sacrificing her ideal happily ever after, Grace's faith will face its toughest test yet.

My Take:  I really like family sagas that take  believable characters and make them just like you and me.  The Christiansen  Family Series is just like that.  This is the 3rd in the series and you will want to read the first two in the series before you read this one.  This book gets us right back into the action with the Christiansen family and many of the family are back in this story.   This story with grab from the beginning and keep you turning the pages to find out what happens next.  Great installment in the series.  You will be hooked as I am.
