JL Crosswhite

Holcomb Springs is a small town you would want your children to grow up in - that is until one teenager goes missing. But then, they do tend to do unexpected things, like leaving on a trip without letting anyone know. A mystery, to be sure.

Aside from that, for Carissa and her two young boys, this fixer-upper is perfect, the town is friendly and seems ready to bring them into the fold. Her only concern is how they will deal with young Jayden’s autism. Add a whole lot of excitement and you have a story that will not let you quit until you are finished.

An ebook for this was received though Tandem Services Press and CelebrateLit. These thoughts are my own and were in no way solicited.… (meer)

Under an Indigo Moon by JL Crosswhite is a work of romantic suspense. Former big-city architect and single mom Carissa Carver comes to Holcomb Springs to rebuild her and her two sons’ lives. However, nothing is as it seems or how she imagined it. I loved getting to know her and her sons.

Deputy Jonas McCann came to Holcomb Springs to heal after the death of his wife and daughter. The last thing he needs or wants is a meddling librarian trying to play matchmaker. But Carissa and her boys stir something long dormant in his heart.

As unexplained events happen, the suspense builds and keeps things interesting. I found myself unable to put this book down. The author did an excellent job with the story's pacing and character development. I want to read more about these characters and this community.

So if you enjoy works of romantic suspense, check out Under an Indigo Moon by JL Crosswhite for yourself. I recommend it.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own.… (meer)

I loved getting to know Carissa and her children as they set out to start a new life. Carissa is trying so hard to do things on her own since she has no one else to help her. Little does she know that moving to Holcomb Springs will bring her new friends and a new beginning. Taking on the job of redoing an old Victorian home will prove to be a big challenge . The house is in need of TLC and Carissa has dreams of how to bring the house back to life. I liked how the author talked about autism in the story and showed how a child with autism can do things with help and encouragement.

Jonas is a good character who befriends Carissa and helps her start to feel welcomed in the town. There is a saying in the town , “that we help our own.” That statement will be shown in action many times in the story. Jonas is the local deputy so he has known about the rumors of the house Carissa has bought. He wants her to know that she is safe but soon mysterious things start to question her safety. Strangers lurking around the house, missing items and a devastating loss will bring danger to Carissa and her sons.

I loved how the author brings intrigue into the story with something that happened in the house a few years ago. When something is discovered in the house, everyone is on high alert . I liked how the author slowly unravels the mystery while also bringing a little romance to the story. The story is a clean read with faith elements scattered throughout. I will be looking to read more books from this author.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.… (meer)
