  • The Someday List
    • Rated 5 stars

    Rachelle Covington is living a life most of us can only dream about. But not even the dream home, fancy car and wealthy husband can stave off the feelings of emptiness. These feelings really begin to overwhelm her after she receives a call from a childhood friend with news that makes her push pause on her own life and do some deep self-examination.

    Determined not to let her life be more than a shallow, superficial existence that is based mainly on appearance and material possessions, Rachelle returns to her hometown with hopes to gain a clear perspective on every aspect of her life. What she doesn’t expect is to come face to face with an unresolved issue from her past that, if allowed, could jeopardize everything.

    The Someday List is a magnificent literary offering that even the staunchest critic of Christian fiction would enjoy. It is well written, with characters one can easily identify with, a plot that is real and has affected people of every race, creed, color and nationality. And while this novel is Christian fiction, it is in no way “preachy.” Instead, it speaks to you softly and subtly, just like the voice of the Holy Spirit.

    Simply put, The Someday List is a book that greatly benefits everyone who reads it.

    Rating: 5 Ghosts of the past… What would you do if your spouse or significant other, who you believed dead for several years, suddenly reappears on your doorstep -- alive and in living color -- wanting to pick up right where you left off? That’s exactly what happens to Madeline Stone. When her cheating husband Russell’s plane crashed, it was good riddance to bad rubbish as far as Madeline was concerned. Russell’s brother however, refuses to give up hope. And after six years, the impossible happens…Russell is alive, a little worse for the wear, but alive nonetheless. Needless to say, Madeline is skeptical that he is who they say he is. She’s not happy at all to see the man who caused her so much heartache. But, it’s been said that tragedy has a way of changing a person, and Russell is one changed brother! He’s loving, caring, the perfect father and husband, and he’s very determined to tear down the walls Madeline has built around her heart. I absolutely loved this storyline! The unexpected twists throughout the story really threw me for a loop, and really enhanced the book. Whenever I pick up an Adrianne Byrd novel, I know I’m in for a treat. Her characters are always endearing. And even though romance novels are formulaic with regards to the fact that the couple at the beginning of the story will be together by the end of the story, Byrd consistently manages to throw in little surprises that make for an engaging read.
