Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: Forgotten Idenity by Penny Zeller





 

Book: Forgotten Identity

Author: Penny Zeller

Genre: Christian Romantic Suspense

Release date: January 14, 2024

Who is he really? And why is someone after him?

Mariah Holzman never imagined a whiteout blizzard would sever all communication from the outside world—communication desperately needed for the injured man Mariah finds near her home. Nor did she imagine helping nurse the man back to health would lead to threats and intimidation. As danger escalates and questions rise, Mariah is left to wonder what kind of person she has allowed into her home.

Grant MacGuire never imagined he would wake up one day in a strange cabin, surrounded by strange people, with no memory of who he is or how he was injured. Nor did he imagine his presence would put the lives of those who saved him in danger. As Grant struggles with distorted memories, he wonders if his life is worth the price the Holzman family is paying.

The growing attraction between Mariah and Grant is hindered by Grant’s unknown identity. Is Grant, as the family’s neighbor assumes, a criminal on the run from the law? Or is there more to his identity—and the reason he was attacked—than they realize?

I really enjoy Christian Romance Suspense Novels. I have been a fan of Penny Zeller for quite awhile. Romance Suspense is a new venture for her, but I have read her other 2 books for Romance Suspense. Forgotten Identity is the latest book by Penny Zeller that I have read. 

WOW, I jumped right into this book and kept reading until I finished the book 4hrs later. The 2 main characters in this story are Mariah Holzman and Grant MacGuire, Mariah becomes a heroine when she rescues a man outside her home in the midst of a blizzard. She is bewildered that she has no way to communicate to anyone as power is out because of the storm. Mariah takes him into her home to help care for him and his injuries. Grant is out for sometime and is very confused when he awakes to being in a strangers home. He has no recollection of what happened to him and even more confused by those around him taking care of him. Mariah becomes worried when she begins receiving threats because she is taken care of Grant. Danger lurks for her and Grant is very worried for the Holzman family. The book is PACKED with Action and Suspense from the very beginning. I LOVE how Mariah and Grant realize that through the danger lurking, they are falling in love with one another. Mariah really wishes she could figure out who Grant really is, as he cannot remember his own identity. I really enjoy watching the relationship build between them and how Mariah's Mom and 2 children play a role in helping Grant recover and the romance that ensued. The book is filled with Action, Suspense, Faith, and Romance. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Romance Suspense. FANTASTIC BOOK!

Hello, Reader!

Thank you so much for joining us for the Forgotten Identity blog tour. Enjoy the sneak peek into the book below.

Blessings,

Penny



Mariah bit back a sigh as they neared. While grateful Nosy stopped when he did, couldn’t the dog have chosen another place to investigate besides the ravine that could be deadly if someone mis-stepped and fell into it? At least the handful of boulders near its edge warned of the ravine’s proximity.

Nosy’s barking turned to a whine as he pawed at the snow.

No, not just the snow.

The snow covering a shoe protruding from behind a large boulder.

She reached for her son, Jordan, and slowed both of their paces even as her pulse quickened. Maybe the object just looked like a gray tennis shoe. Or maybe it was a shoe, but a discarded shoe Nosy found somewhere, brought home, and forgot about until now.

Still…

“Jordan, stay where you are, please.”

“Aww, Mom.” Despite his protest, Jordan did as she requested.

Mariah advanced. Better be safe than sorry, and on the one percent chance this wasn’t a shoe found, forgotten, and rediscovered by Nosy, Jordan did not need to see whatever, or whomever, was attached to the shoe.

“Mom?”

“Just a minute, Jordan.”

A few seconds later, she saw an image she’d not soon forget.

Partially obstructed by the boulders and surrounding dormant foliage, a man’s body lay face up in the snow, dangerously close to falling over the side of the ravine.

Christian Historical Romance is a favorite genre of mine. Frayed Promises by Lynn U. Watson is Book 2 in the Promised Destiny Series. I had the honor of reading Book 1 in this series and was anticipating the release of this book. 

WOW, this second book really grasped my attention very quickly. The setting is the 1880's in Germany and Chicago. The main characters in the book are Clara Reinhold and Daniel Becker. This book picks up where Book 1 left off. Clara and Daniel went against Clara's father and they decided to get married in secret. They decided to hide this from Clara's father, but when he finds out, there are consequences. Clara and Daniel are also expecting a child. They decide to cross the Ocean and move to Chicago to be away from Clara's father. The storyline tells of their trials and mishaps through all the consequences. They are encouraged by the scripture and God's will for them.  The book is one of Faith, Second Chances, LOVE and Romance. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Chrisitain Historical Romance. WONDERFUL BOOK!

Momentum Influencers Blog Tour: The Chosen: Last Supper





The table is set. 

 The people of Israel welcome Jesus as king while his disciples anticipate his crowning. But—instead of confronting Rome—he turns the tables on the Jewish religious festival. Their power threatened, the country’s religious and political leaders will go to any length to ensure this Passover meal is Jesus’ last. Shot in a beautiful cinematic format, The Chosen: Last Supper brings the most pivotal week in history to audiences in this special three-part theatrical release.



• The Chosen is a groundbreaking historical drama based on the life of Jesus (Jonathan Roumie), seen through the eyes of those who knew him. Set against the backdrop of Roman oppression in first-century Israel, the seven-season series shares an authentic and intimate look at Jesus’ revolutionary life and teachings. 

• With over 250 million viewers (as of 7/27/24), The Chosen is one of the most-watched shows in the world.

 • The Chosen is back for Holy Week, the most pivotal week in human history. Tables are turned. Friends are betrayed. And powerful leaders plot the death of Jesus. The Chosen: Last Supper is the must see event of the Easter season. 

• The Chosen: Last Supper is releasing in theaters in 3 parts! Part One (episodes 1-2) releases on March 28; Part Two (episodes 3-5) releases on April 4; and Part Three (episodes 6-8) releases on April 11. 

• Watch this powerful new season of The Chosen in theaters starting March 28th!









I am looking forward to Season 5 of The Chosen. Admittedly, I didn't start watching the series until Season 3 and I didn't watch all the Episodes. I really gained interest in the Series during Season 4. 

I watched Season 5 Episode 1 and I am amazed at this Episode. The Drama and Biblical accuracy were spot on. I feel this production was AMAZING and very aligned with the continuance of the Series. I am not one who goes to the Movie Theatres often, but I would definitely go see all the Episodes of The Chosen Season 5 at the Theatres. I really enjoy that the Episodes are released during the Season of Lent, as we prepare and get ready for the Holiest day of the Year for Christians. 

I HIGHLY recommend buying tickets for The Chosen and go see it in Theatres! GREAT Series!








BUY TICKETS NOW for all 3 Episodes. 
Episode 1 is in theatres March 28th! 















Many thanks to Come And See Foundation for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

JustRead Tours Blog Tour: These Long Shadows by Jennifer MistMorgan

These Long Shadows JustRead Blog + Review Tour

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for These Long Shadows by Jennifer Mistmorgan, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!



These Long Shadows

Title: These Long Shadows
Series:
On Victory's Wings #3
Author:
Jennifer Mistmorgan
Publisher:
Independently Published
Release Date:
March 21, 2025
Genre:
Historical Romance WWII

How do they rebuild a marriage that wasn’t real in the first place? 

London, 1945: Two years ago, Jonty Ables married Katie Baines to save her and her unborn baby from shame. But now the war is all but over, the baby is gone and they must work out where their shaky marriage fits into lives irrevocably changed by war. 

Clinging to the memory of a time before all happiness evaporated, Katie works hard during the day as a seamstress. At night she comes home to a tiny terrace on a bomb-scarred street, crammed with her extended family and their problems. Years of estrangement sit between her and her recently demobilized husband. She’s not even sure she loves him, so why is she so crushed that he calls out another woman’s name in his sleep? 

Jonty is determined to honor the vows he made no matter how many ghosts now plague him, but with such separate lives his wife is more of a stranger than ever. When Katie’s friend goes missing, Jonty seizes the opportunity to help her find him just so they have a reason to talk. But the war casts long shadows over their efforts, and fighting for their future might just be the hardest battle of them all.  

If you love epic wartime romance with a dash of intrigue, you’ll love this second-chance, marriage-of-convenience love story.



Historical Romance is a genre that always interest me. These Long Shadows by Jennifer Mistmorgan is the latest book in this genre that I have read. It is Book 3 in the On Victory Wings series. I haven't read the first 2 books in the series yet, but I wasn't lost while reading this book. 

I started reading and could not put the book down. The storyline was very intriguing from the first few pages. The setting is London, England in 1945. World War II has ended and lives have been changed. The 2 main characters in this book are Katie Baines and Jonty Ables. They have been married for 2 years now and they realize their marriage doesn't have a much love in it. Jonty and Katie married as he didn't want her to be "shamed" for having a baby before marriage, as Katie was pregnant without being married. The baby tragically passed away and Katie has been grieving for the 2 yrs they have been married. Jonty survived serving during Wartime and really has hopes for a wonderful marriage with Katie and wants to work things out. Katie is a seamstress and is very tired when the day is done and doesn't have time to invest in her marriage. Jonty is an outstanding man who has a heart for everyone and his faithfulness to Katie through all her struggles show this in him. Katie really struggles with grief and wants to LOVE Jonty. I LOVE how they both lean onto God and ask for his guidance in making this marriage be how he designed marriage to be. Katie and Jonty went from a Marriage of Convenience to growing and thriving in God's plan for their lives. There were many twists and turns in this storyline, but the ending was so very sweet. The book is one of Marriage of Convenience, Second Chances, Faith and Family. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Historical Romance. WONDERFUL BOOK!
