So January is Gone!

booksbylyncote.com Posted on February 6, 2020 by Lyn CoteFebruary 6, 2020

So January is gone–already! I am trying to keep good thoughts about winter. We’ve had an amazing amount of snow–nothing record-breaking but still it’s a challenge at street corners to see what’s coming. People here keep saying it’s not been a bad winter. And I think-what are you talking about? We’ve got at least two more months to go! So how has your winter been?–Lyn P.S. JOURNEY TO RESPECT is on sale for 99 cents NOW but not for long! 😉

Need Feedback on Another Cover Model for New Book

booksbylyncote.com Posted on January 20, 2020 by Lyn CoteJanuary 12, 2020

Hi I need feedback so I can choose another cover model for a new book. I hope to have 4 new books out this year–a new 3 book romantic suspense series and another historical novel. So let’s get started. Please view the 3 models below and tell me which on evokes a response in you–a positive one of course.

My heroine is a young single mom–the kind of young woman you’d like to have as a neighbor so you could “mother her.” But she’s starting a new business, a coffee and sweets shop, in a tourist town so she’s not a “needy” heroine. I will choose a few commenters to give free ebooks to so leave a comment. I really need to know your reactions.

Here’s #1

 

Here’s #2

 

Here’s #3

So leave a comment–which one do you think I should use? THANKS IN ADVANCE!–Lyn

Lyn Reviews Pat Simmons’ Lean On Me

booksbylyncote.com Posted on January 9, 2020 by Lyn CoteJanuary 9, 2020

Lean on Me (Family Is Forever, #1)Lean on Me by Pat Simmons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Romantic, romantic, romantic–the chemistry between Tabitha and Marcus was real. Loved it. Also loved Aunt Tweet–the lovable woman whose memories are slipping away but whose imagination keeps spinning. When Marcus and Tabitha first meet sparks fly but not the romantic kind. But their true characters shine as God puts them to the test. Great read, romance and story of family.

Lyn Reviews Charlotte MacLeod’s Rest You Merry

booksbylyncote.com Posted on December 22, 2019 by Lyn CoteDecember 22, 2019

Rest You Merry (Peter Shandy, #1)Rest You Merry by Charlotte MacLeod
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first Peter Shandy book I’ve read. WHAT A HOOT! I loved this book and so did my dh. I bought it because it said that it was a combination of Agatha Christie and P G Wodehouse–two of my favorite authors. And it was. A great mystery ala Christie tradition. And both erudite and slapstick humor ala Wodehouse (remember Bertie Wooster and Jeeves?–Well if you don’t, get to the library and check one out.)

The setting is New England, a small agricultural college. Since my dh pointed out that no one mentioned cell phones and the phones all had dials, that this was a pre-1990’s era book. I’d say around the 1960-70’s but it fits the characters. AND WHAT CHARACTERS THEY ARE! Somehow realistic and over the top at the same time. And I loved the dawning romance between Peter and the librarian Helen Marsh. If you want a mystery that is hard to solve and a fun holiday read, this book is for you! (Note: there is a very little profanity in the dialogue-I chose to overlook it.)

First Time on Sale for 99 Cents, The Heart Hopes

booksbylyncote.com Posted on December 1, 2019 by Lyn CoteDecember 1, 2019

The Heart Hopes

What could unite a disgruntled DA and the pretty teacher, responsible for his hung jury? 

Perhaps a little boy in need of love 

Young and eager, Patience begins her first year of teaching. One first grader, Jackson, sparks her concern. Can she help him start off his school years on the right foot?. A stint of jury duty takes her away from Jackson, and into conflict with Jackson’s dad, by-the-book DA Gil Montgomery. Her “not guilty” vote means he’ll have to try the case again. And she’s upset that her absence had badly affected Jackson, now branded the “class troublemaker,” just what she was trying to prevent.

Gil and his ex-wife’s conflicting parenting styles continue to jeopardize Jackson’s emotional well-being. As irritated as Gil is with Patience, he soon realizes she is the key to helping his son. Patience is willing to help. But is Gil willing to “hear” her as she uncovers evidence for the re-trial that could change his mind about who assaulted Bertha Perkins and stole her valuable antiques?
