About the Book

Title: High Exposure 
Series: Jagged Edges #1 
Author: Kelly Borjas 
Publisher: Kregel Publications 
Release Date: September 15, 2026 
Genre: Romantic Suspense

The riveting start to an adventure-driven romantic suspense series from a debut author 

Determined travel blogger Julia Stevens is on her final assignment in snowy Silverberg, Colorado. She's running from her past—and God—but the charm of small-town life brings little comfort when she's face-to-face with the winter sport that killed her sister: skiing. Upon her arrival in town, she discovers a dead body and is quickly compelled to research the situation, give justice to the man's story, and kick off her new career in journalism. 

Cade Haskins is back home after a failed mission and his subsequent retirement from the DEA. His father's declining health has pushed Cade to prioritize family, and he helps at the historic Silverberg Hotel on his dad's behalf. When Julia shows up at the hotel, Cade becomes her local contact. He quickly realizes she has a knack for sniffing around where she shouldn't, and he attaches himself to her side. 

With the local death connected to a meth ring, Julia's investigation has unknowingly put a target on her back. As the danger increases and she begins to learn more about Cade and his family, she finds herself trusting the God she was running from. And Cade? He doesn't want to get dragged back into DEA work, but it seems like he may not have a choice if he wants to protect Julia . . . and his growing attraction to her.

Review

If you love a great Christian romantic suspense, then you do not want to miss out on this new series. High Exposure by debut author Kelly Borjas was the perfect high-stakes read. I could not put it down. This story has me hooked, and I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

Julia Stevens is a travel blogger, travelling to hide from her past, and has come to Silverberg, Colorado, to help boost their tourism. While trying to portray the beauty of this town to her readers, she has stumbled upon the secret local meth ring. That is when everything starts to snowball.

Cade is helping Julia see the town and show her spots to help with the article. Each time they are out, they seem to find themselves in danger. Cade has recently retired from the DEA but is working to help rein in the meth operation going on in his small town.

High Exposure was the perfect story, full of mystery, suspense, romance, and faith.

The romance had great chemistry, with kisses only.

Kelly Borjas did a great job intertwining faith throughout the story. It showcases Julia’s journey back to faith.

Giveaway and Review:The Ballerina's Bargain by Lorri Dudley

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for The Ballerina's Bargain by Lorri Dudley, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: The Ballerina's Bargain 
Series: Danforth Theatre #1 
Author: Lorri Dudley 
Publisher: Wild Heart Books 
Release Date: September 8, 2026 
Genre: Historical Regency Romance

A burdened earl. A determined ballerina. Saving the theatre was part of their bargain. Losing their hearts wasn't.  

London, 1815 

Emmeline Laurent has survived by grace and grit. After her parents' execution in France, she has learned to live unseen as a humble ballerina instructing young pupils in a small London theatre. When whispers spread that the Danforth Theatre may be sold to an unscrupulous buyer, Emmeline fears not only for her livelihood but for the safety of her impressionable students. With no time and no options, she does the only thing she knows to do: leap into a moving carriage and bargain with the new lord who holds their fate. 

Grant Atherton, the Earl of Quincy, has inherited the crushing weight of duty along with a failing theatre, an arranged engagement, two younger sisters to usher into society, and a mountain of his father's secrets. Selling the Danforth is the only way to save his family from ruin. The last thing he needs is a beautiful, infuriatingly determined ballerina turning his careful plans upside down. 

But when Emmeline's hidden past begins surfacing and the danger circling the theatre proves far deadlier than either of them realized, Grant must choose between the life he planned and the one God may have been preparing all along.  

For fans of Roseanna M. White and Jen Turano — a sweeping Regency romance about the grace found in surrender, the courage it takes to trust, and the God who makes a way when every door seems closed.

Review

The Ballerina’s Bargain by Lorri Dudley was the first book I have read written by her.

This story was an interesting look into the Ballet Theater during 1815. Grant is tasked with trying to keep the family afloat after his father’s death. He has left them with the title of Earl but is on the verge of losing it all. Grant is trying to sell the Theatre to try and keep his family from financial ruin, but the sale of the theater would put it into the hands of people who would turn it into an undercover brothel. Emmeline hops in Grant’s carriage and pleads her case for him to save the ballerina’s. The process of trying to turn the theater around to be profitable is hard. It was a fun journey to watch them work through that, as well as all the hardships that came against them. With Emmeline’s hidden past, it is hard. I loved the twist at the end. This story was great and kept me on the edge of my seat.

Lorri Dudley did a great job intertwining faith elements throughout the story.

The 7 Skills to Lasting Health by Pearl Barrett and Serene Allison

The 7 Skills to Lasting Health by Pearl Barrett and Serene Allison might seem short, but it is packed full of information. I took this book a little slower so that I could soak up all the information. I have previously worked my way through The Trim Healthy Mama books and have felt overwhelmed with all the information. This book breaks it down into manageable steps to build one at a time. I loved the way they broke it down and that at the end of each chapter you are given tools to try and work on implementing that step. I feel more equipped to try the Trim Healthy Mama plan than I did before. This was a great resource for me. I also loved the different recipes included in the back. I have been trying them out. I’ve only made a few so far, and they have been pretty good.

I also loved that they included some different scripture.

So if you are looking to start the Trim Healthy Mama, or just feeling overwhelmed with all the different ways that people are telling you to eat, this book is a great tool.

𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞: Christian Contemporary Romance
𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞: July 29, 2026

𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:

More Than Fine by Kim Griffin is such a great redemption story.

This story had me hooked. Gia has landed an internship at Morgan Stanley’s. She has gone through a lot. After losing her parents in a car crash at 12 and, more recently, the death of her grandfather, she is trying to find where she belongs. She works really hard at her internship. At the start, her mentor seems to be using her, making her work really late hours and not being the best. Then she is partnered with Nick, who seems to have some interesting chemistry. As the story progresses and they work more together, a relationship begins to blossom between them, but Nick’s secret is a giant wedge between them. When the secret is revealed, it seems like forgiveness is out of reach. I loved reading this redemption story. It was perfect.

The romance was perfect with kisses only.

Kim Griffin always does a fantastic job intertwining faith throughout, and this did not disappoint.

Giveaway and Review: Drandar and the Quest for Redemption by: Terrie Hellard-Brown

 

About the Book

Book: Drandar and the Quest for Redemption (Book 2)

Author: Terrie Hellard-Brown

Genre: Middle School Fantasy Chapter Book

Release Date: June 15, 2026

What do you do with an enemy who tried to destroy you?

Drandar didn’t expect to find the answer in a dungeon.

Seaton the knight betrayed the king, hunted Drandar, and lost. Now he’s locked up and miserable — and somehow, Drandar can’t stop thinking about him. When Drandar was ready to give up, Seraphina and the fairy believed in him anyway. Maybe Seaton needs the same thing.

The king has a different idea. He’s sending both of them on a quest to find the kingdom’s greatest treasure. Together. Whether they like it or not.

The problem? Drandar isn’t sure he trusts Seaton. And the quest is harder than either of them expected.

Drandar and the Quest for Redemption is a story about second chances, unlikely friendships, and discovering that the greatest treasure isn’t always what you went looking for.

About the Author

Terrie Hellard-Brown is an award-winning author, speaker, and missionary with over thirty years of experience as a teacher and homeschool mom. That time at the classroom and kitchen table convinced her of something she writes into every story: every child’s journey matters, and no one is too far gone for redemption.

Terrie works with families — especially mixed-needs families (those raising both neurodivergent and neurotypical children) — to disciple their kids and build a peace-filled home culture. She hosts two podcasts focused on equipping parents to raise the next generation to follow Christ with their whole hearts.

She holds a BA in sociology and psychology, an MA in education, and is currently pursuing her DMin.

More from Terrie

Forgiveness, redemption, purpose, trust, truth – these are so important for children to grasp early. Those are the motivation and foundation behind the Drandar the Dragon series.

Drandar and the Quest for Redemption is the second book in the Drandar the Dragon series of chapter books. It picks up where book one ended, but it also can stand alone on its own as long as readers begin with the understanding that Drandar is a knight in a Medieval, fantasy kingdom.

I began writing these stories for my daughter who is autistic because I saw such potential in her and God’s blessing in her life, yet I watched her struggle with doubt and fear. (She is also the illustrator for the series which is exciting for both of us).

Review

Drandar and the Quest for Redemption is the first book I have read written by Terrie Hellard-Brown. This is the second book in the Drandar the Dragon series. The story is written for middle grade, though I did enjoy it myself. I am a mom of six kids, so I am always on the hunt for great stories for them, and this one did not disappoint. It was a great fantasy middle-grade read with some great faith elements.
