Giveaway and Review: Anna of Bethsaida by Susanne Blumer

Welcome to the Blog Tour for Anna of Bethsaida by Susanne Blumer, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: Anna of Bethsaida 
Series: The Arimathea Chronicles #2 
Author: Susanne Blumer 
Publisher: Sutton Avenue Press 
Release Date: March 16, 2026 
Genre: Biblical Fiction

Anna believed choosing Andrew meant gaining a home. Instead, she finds herself on the dusty roads of Galilee, under the watchful eyes of hostile Pharisees, walking ever closer to miracles that both heal and unsettle. 

As a healer traveling with Jesus's ministry alongside Andrew, Anna takes her place among the women who follow, forming bonds that offer strength as the journey grows harder. While crowds press close to hear the Teacher's words, a different kind of attention gathers. In Jerusalem, her father Joseph of Arimathea, walks an impossible line within the Sanhedrin, and with each miracle Jesus performs, the net draws tighter around them all. 

The cost of discipleship, Anna discovers, is not counted in miles walked or comforts surrendered. It is measured in the space between what she hoped following Jesus would be and what it actually demands. 

Some journeys test what you believe. 
Some reshape who you become. 
Anna's does both. 

This is Book 2 of The Arimathea Chronicles. Begin Anna's journey from the beginning with Book 1, Anna of Arimathea, where a scarred, isolated young woman discovers healing, first love, and purpose in the footsteps of Jesus.  

Anna of Bethsaida is perfect for readers who love:

• Deeply researched biblical fiction with authentic period detail
• The untold stories of women in the early church - Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and the community that sustained Jesus's ministry
• Love stories tested by faith and dangerous callings
• Political intrigue woven through spiritual transformation
• Character-driven narratives where personal loss intersects with world-changing events

Review

Anna of Bethsaida is the second book in The Arimathea Chronicles. This biblical fiction helped bring the bible to life in a new way. I look forward to reading book three, as this one left us slightly on a cliffhanger. Though because we have the bible, I do know parts of what will happen, but I am excited to see how Susanne Blumer will portray it.

In book one, we leave off at Anna and Andrew’s wedding, and book two picks up right where we left them. Anna and Andrew are trying to figure out life as newlyweds while also jumping back into serving alongside Jesus. The call is not easy. Days can be really hard, short on food, long travel days, and as the Sanhedrin feel the slip of their power, they are out to destroy Jesus and all of his followers. Anna and Andrew find out they are pregnant.

It deals with some of the different emotions that might have occurred among the disciples. Andrew feels jealous of Simon Peter. Which made me think how the disciples felt about the inner circle when Jesus took Simon Peter, James, and John. There was also some tension towards Judas. This story definitely provoked some more thoughts. It was interesting seeing Jesus' ministry from a different point of view.       

I am not one to post trigger/content warnings, but this one does deal with premature stillbirth and the grief following. The scene will definitely evoke emotions.

Renegade By Susan May Warren

 

About the Book

Title:Renegade 
Author: Susan May Warren 
Publisher: Sunrise Publishing 
Release Date: March 17, 2026 
Genre: Romantic Suspense Fiction

---

Review:

Christian romantic suspense readers, this series is for you. I could not put Renegade down. Susan May Warren and Lisa Phillips have hit it out of the park with this multi-author series, with some overlapping characters from Chasing Fire: Alaska.

Everyone in Renegade believes Rowan “Hammer” to be dead. When he shows up in town, his old flame Sierra almost falls over in shock. But that isn’t the only shocking thing.

Someone is trying to scare off the Ranchers. Through stolen cattle and now contaminated water, where will these people draw the line? And will it stop before more people mysteriously turn up dead? Rowan jumps right into action. Everything his military training has taught him comes in clutch. Jumping to Sierra’s help is what he was meant to do. Rebuilding a relationship that was destroyed, and also building a relationship with her son, is going to be harder than Rowan imagined.  

This book is all the best elements: suspense, military, wild firefighter, cowboy, secret child, second chance at romance, faith, and so much more.     This second-chance romance is perfect with kisses only.

Susan May Warren intertwines faith elements.

Claire Holloway is Winging It by: Angela Ruth Strong

About the Book

Title: Claire Holloway Is Winging It 
Author: Angela Ruth Strong 
Publisher: Kregel Publishing 
Release Date: March 17, 2026 
Genre: Contemporary Romance Fiction

---

Review:

If you love a great rom-com, then Claire Holloway Is Winging It is for you. From the very beginning, Angela Ruth Strong hooked me in, and I could not put this book down.  

Claire, a former ballerina, has to give up her dancing career due to trigger foot. She has decided to become a flight attendant. When she is stationed out of Seattle, she moves there. At the airport, she runs into First Officer Nathan. Nathan helps Claire navigate to her crash pad, a place where other flight attendants are housed. But with the nature of the job, they aren’t always there at the same time. When Claire finds herself on the same flight crew as Nathan, they soon find themselves becoming friends, exchanging inside jokes and witty banter.    

Nathan has been burned before, by his ex-fiancée, who he thought was cheating on him and broke things off. So, Nathan is a little guarded, but Claire catches his eye. When he learns that she has a boyfriend, Nathan does not pursue Claire. He wants what is best for Claire, and if that is her relationship with Wyatt, then Nathan wants to support Claire. Nathan is working his way up to being a pilot. He has had some delays in his career. But he has been able to meet some really great people in the process.

Though this somewhat reads like a love triangle, it was done in the purest of ways. Claire and Nathan are friends. Claire is in a relationship with Wyatt and not pursuing Nathan, but rather trying to set him up with her roommate. Nathan has feelings for Claire, but since she is in a relationship, he distances himself from her and wants what is best for Claire. In the purest of love and friendship, putting the other person above your own desires and wanting what is best for the other person, even at the loss to yourself.  Wyatt, on the other hand, is not the purest. He is trying to manipulate Claire into moving in with him, even though he makes comments that he isn’t really interested in marriage right away. I love that Claire sticks to her faith and her convictions and does not cave to Wyatt. I appreciate that in this love triangle, there was no cheating involved.

Angela Ruth Strong did a great job of intertwining faith throughout the story.

Giveaway and Excerpt: When They Met Again by Leslie Gould

Welcome to the Blog Tour for When They Met Again by Leslie Gould, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

About the Book

Title: When They Met Again 
Series: Letters from Lancaster County 
Author: Leslie Gould 
Publisher: Bethany House 
Release Date: March 17, 2026 
Genre: Fiction / Romance / Amish / Contemporary

A gently humorous just friends romance from Leslie Gould, threaded with heart-deep characters and the timeless traditions of simple Amish life. 

It's love at first sight for Adam Slaybaugh, yet while Joanna Grebel finds him attractive and is intrigued when he declares his interest, she's less certain of the potential for a romantic future together. Instead, she proposes they be "just friends," but Adam's not willing to settle for anything less than a romantic relationship. In response, he leaves Lancaster County for Florida, and soon after, Joanna begins courting Jacob Byer--someone she deems a much more suitable match. 

When Adam returns to Lancaster County years later to pursue a career in his grandparents' successful home renovation business, he finds Joanna suffering from a broken heart. Misunderstandings and matchmaking schemes begin a tender journey of healing and romance--but is Adam's love enough to finally win Joanna over?  

For readers of Beverly Lewis, Wanda E. Brunstetter, and Shelley Shepard Gray, a sweet Amish romance with matchmaking grandmas and themes of enemies to lovers, he falls first, and love at first sight versus "just friends."

Excerpt

Mandy and Miriam’s grandfather, Daniel, was the bishop of their district, and he and Elaine were hosting the ice cream social.

Joanna noticed a stranger—a man— who was tall, muscular, and handsome with sandy hair and deep brown eyes.

She didn’t recognize him, and she tried not to stare.

After the singing, the guys took turns cranking the ice cream freezer and showing off their muscles. The stranger had a five o’clock shadow and appeared a few years older than most of the Youngie. As they all stood around in groups eating the ice cream, Caleb introduced him to Joanna and Mandy. “This is Jacob Byer,” he said. Miriam stepped into the circle. Caleb continued. “Jacob is new to our—”

“Hallo!” Miriam said, interrupting Caleb. “Welcome to Strasburg Township.”

Jacob took a step backward but then smiled. “Denki. And who are you?”

“Miriam.” She grinned and then swept her hand toward Mandy. “This is my twin.” She nodded toward Joanna. “And our friend Joanna.”

Forcing herself to be outgoing, Joanna asked Jacob, “Where are you from?”

“Ohio. Holmes County.” Jacob took a step closer to Joanna. He towered over her, even though she was five eight. “I have an uncle who lives here. Enoch Byer.”

Joanna spoke as confidently as she could. “Are you visiting Lancaster County or do you plan to stay?”

Jacob’s eyes twinkled as his gaze met hers. “I’m staying.”

Someone called out, “Joanna!” She turned. Adam sauntered toward them. “Are you ready to leave?” She wasn’t.

“I hope I’ll see you soon.” Jacob gave her a charming smile that left her feeling flustered. Miriam was now standing beside him.

Joanna gave Jacob, and everyone, a wave and turned around slowly. She didn’t want to hurry and make Jacob think she was courting Adam. Nor did she want to go too slowly and risk having Adam say something embarrassing in front of Jacob. Her heart beat faster. Perhaps she hadn’t met the right person yet—until now.

On the way home as Adam chatted away about the ice cream, about Mandy and Caleb, and about his grandparents’ business that he was excited to learn, Joanna thought about Jacob. About how tall he was. And how handsome with his square jaw and deep brown eyes. And his charming smile. Compared to Adam, who seemed to be an open book, Jacob was quiet and mysterious. She couldn’t stop thinking about him.

When they reached Mammi Lu’s, Joanna thanked Adam for the ride and started to open the buggy door.

“Wait!” Adam set the brake and jumped to the ground. “I need to do that for you.”

Joanna waited, a little impatiently. When Adam appeared at her door he extended his hand to her as he grinned.

She took his hand and jumped down. “Denki.” She started toward the back door. Mammi Lu had left a battery- operated lantern hanging to light her way.

“Wait,” he said again but not as enthusiastically as before. “Aren’t you going to ask me to stay? Lemonade on the porch? Maybe a cookie.”

Joanna turned toward him at the bottom of the steps. “I’m tired. From the trip and everything.”

“Oh.” He took off his hat and ran his hand through his dark hair. “I wanted to talk about the trip. About sitting in the back of the van together. Don’t tell me you didn’t feel something.”

Annoyed, Joanna said, “I didn’t feel anything.” But she had. Although it paled when compared with what she was feeling for Jacob.

His face fell. “Well, I’ll see you tomorrow. At the office, right? You’re coming by to talk to Mammi about a job.”

“Jah.” Joanna momentarily regretted not asking him to stay. But not enough to change her mind.

“See you tomorrow.” If she got the job, she and Adam would have a chance to get to know each other. Perhaps she’d want to court him eventually— unless Jacob Byer asked her out first.

Review

Eyewitness Sketch is the perfect historical mystery romance. Danielle Grandinetti has created this beautiful Di Stasio Giornaliste agency series, and I can not wait to read the rest of the books.

Gabby is an illustrative journalist. As an artist, she brings a lot to the table, being able to sketch people. Gabby finds herself needing to hide from the murderer and finds herself hiding out in Wisconsin with her best friend’s brother.  

Deputy Andri is trying to catch a ring of bootleggers on the island. With a small police force, it is turning out to be a harder job than you would think. Then Gabby shows up and needs a place to hide out. Opening up his home might have been a mistake, or a great help in the case.

This siblings-friends-to-more romance was the perfect level of sweetness with kisses only.  

Danielle did a great job intertwining faith elements throughout the story.

Review

Verse by Verse: Volume 1 is a daily devotional that takes it one verse at a time. This book is significantly larger than I expected it to be. This devotional is broken up into sections, by chapter, and then each day focuses on one verse a day, and after every two verses, it contains a prompt to reflect and journal/meditate on the two verses. At the end of each chapter, there are key takeaways for the whole chapter.

I love the in-depth research that went into each verse and the reflections. With the use and mention of other scriptures, which gives us a great overarching of the bible, tying it all in together.

I love a great devotional. I love the idea behind this devotional series. I think it would be great to take a deep dive into a book of the bible, maybe as a bible study, either on your own or with a group. But as a whole, I think this series, when it is completed, would make me feel inundated and would be a very daunting task to try to read it in its entirety. The pacing is a little on the slow side. It would take just over 85 years to read the bible at only one verse a day. It gives the reader lots of time to marinate in the word of God, but if this were your only source of bible reading, it might leave you wanting. As a tool in addition to your daily bible reading, this would be a great option. It is evident that the amount of research that was put into this devotional, and I greatly appreciate that. The content is great.

Excerpt

Excerpts from “Buried in Shadows”

Cassie bolted upright in bed, sweat- drenched and lungs burning. Her gaze flashed to her bedroom door. Still locked with the bar across it.

Windows. She darted a glance at each. All down. The extra locks she’d installed holding.

Struggling for a solid breath, she got to her feet, the floor frigid beneath them.

Reaching in her nightstand, she retrieved her SIG, clasping the gun in her left hand.

You’re overreacting. It’s been a year. He’s not here.

Make sure, a voice whispered on the howling wind.

She grasped the bar and, taking a deep breath, lifted it up and opened the door to darkness. Grabbing the flashlight she’d positioned on her dresser, she clicked it on and stepped into the hallway.

Sweeping the house in fear he’d be hiding around the next corner, she moved in a swift manner, following the pattern she used every night to clear her home before bed. Every night and every time she returned to her home.

It’d be a year without a note. Without any sign of him, but he terrorized her still.

When she reached the kitchen, her rigid muscles eased some, her breath less shallow.

Thank you, Lord.

She leaned back against the kitchen counter, her gaze falling to her open cookbook in its wooden stand on the granite countertop.

She lifted her flashlight, centering on the book.

Horror coursed through her at the sight of the linen envelope.

He was back.
