This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing Digitalis (Barbour Publishing, Inc. - January 1, 2011) by Ronie Kendig ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ronie has been married since 1990 to a man who can easily be defined in classic terms as a hero. She has four beautiful children. Her eldest daughter is 16 this year, her second daughter will be 13, and her twin boys are 10. After having four children, she finally finished her degree in December 2006. She now has a B.S. in Psychology through Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. Getting her degree is a huge triumph for both her and her family--they survived!!
This degree has also given her a fabulous perspective on her characters and how to not only make them deeper, stronger, but to make them realistic and know how they'll respond to each situation. Her debut novel, Dead Reckoning released March 2010 from Abingdon Press. And her Discarded Heroes series began in July 2010 from Barbour with the first book entitled Nightshade.
This is the second book in the series.
ABOUT THE BOOK:Step into the boots of a former Marine in this heart-pounding adventure in life and love. Colton “Cowboy” Neeley is a Marine trying to find his footing as he battles flashbacks now that he’s back home. Piper Blum is a woman in hiding—from life and the assassins bent on destroying her family. When their hearts collide, more than their lives are at stake. Will Colton find a way to forgive Piper’s lies? Can Piper find a way to rescue her father, trapped in Israel? Is there any way their love, founded on her lies, can survive?
MY THOUGHTS:This is the first of Ronie Kendig's books that I have read, and I have to say it will not be my last. (I've definitely got to go back and read Nightshade, the first book in this series.) Digitalis has a high intensity that runs from cover to cover, with nary a dull page in the book. If you like books full of action, intrigue, emotional upheaval and romantic tension with characters that steal your heart, don't let this one pass you by.

Jenny, thank you for a fantastic review. And thank you for taking the time to participate in the blog tour!
Hi Jenny! I will be popping in here and there as well. I miss blogging on a regular basis but such is life, right? LOL
You must get to her other books because it is as good as this one. I still can't believe she's considered "new." She writes like a pro.
Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by, Ronie!
Hiya CeeCee! I'm still kinda hit and miss with the blog (and reading in the last couple of weeks). I love it when a new author doesn't write like they're new! Yay for us readers. :)
