Camy Tang

A friend (MH) sent me this book in a box of books. I don't recall reading this author or this series before.

I think it is hard to do justice to both suspense and romance in a page count of Love Inspired--so the stories seem to work best in cases where the main couple has a past history--which this book does. It seems that lets the author focus more on the suspense part of the story while it not being so unbelievable that the main characters would rekindle their romance.

I suspected what they would find out about Mark's work but I didn't suspect the money part of it.… (meer)

Restaurateur and caterer Jennifer Lim is busy developing dishes for an upcoming wedding. But a soupy fiasco in the kitchen paired with the entrance of her distracted boyfriend may have Jenn hearing anything but wedding bells in White Soup by author Camy Tang.

Aw, what a fun coda to this ChristFic chick lit series. I laughed, I cried (well—I didn't cry while reading this wacky little story, but I did have some tears earlier in the series), and I enjoyed revisiting a few of the characters I first discovered back in the earlier 2000s.

You don't need to have read the other books in the Sushi Series yet to catch on to this story, but you'll likely want to read 'em whether before or after. Well worth it!… (meer)

"What? This isn’t love—"
"No, it’s war."

Yes indeedy. It's war for Trish Sakai in the middle of a family wedding banquet. But she should have gotten a battle strategy all figured out ahead of time in The Sushi Toss by author Camy Tang.

I grabbed up this ChristFic short, a part of the Sushi Series of romantic thrills and spills, after seeing it in the author's newsletter. I'd partly forgotten Camy Tang's flair for comedy and the ridiculous, and this vignette gave me a much-appreciated dose of Sakai family antics punctuated with actual chuckles on my part.

Given that the story comes right before Book Two, the only one I haven't read in the series, that novel is back on my radar to try.… (meer)

Alex has gone after a meth-producing gang, and now he's being framed for the death of a cop. The evidence on an encrypted laptop can prove his innocence, but he'll need the help of a software engineer, Jane, before the gang can take back the laptop—and possibly take Alex's and Jane's lives in the process—in Necessary Proof by author Camy Tang.

Nope, I haven't read any of the other books in this ChristFic romantic suspense series. Though there was some background that might have made more sense and some names mentioned I might have cared about if I'd read some of the preceding books, the main story here made quite enough sense on its own for me to appreciate it.

While some of the events and emotional development felt rushed, I found the story intriguing, with a fitting mix of dialogue and action, and a journey of faith runs through it. An enjoyable way to spend a relatively short amount of time.… (meer)
