My thoughts:

Unsung Hero was such a good movie! I knew when I saw the trailer that I wanted to watch it, and it did not disappoint. The acting was outstanding! I felt like I was watching real people go through struggles and overcome difficulties. I loved how Joel Smallbone starred in this movie and helped tell his family's story. All of the actors were amazing, though, and I loved Candace Cameron Bure's character - she made me laugh. ;)

I thought Unsung Hero had a powerful storyline of family, the importance of that bond, and miracles. I loved the prominent role of prayer and thanks. Nothing is impossible with God and it was amazing to see what miracles happened in their lives.

All in all, Unsung Hero was a powerful movie and I recommend it if you like heartwarming movies with great acting. The music was really good, as well...I have added a couple songs from this movie to my playlist. This movie is definitely worth the watch and it is in theaters starting April 26th!

Review: A Noble Scheme by Roseanna M. White

About the book:
Gemma Parks is known throughout high society as G. M. Parker, a columnist renowned for her commentary on the cream of society. Behind the scenes, she uses her talent to aid the Imposters in their investigations by gathering intel at events and providing alibis for the elite firm's members through her columns. Yet her clandestine work would be more exhilarating if it weren't for the constant presence of the gentleman who broke her heart.

Graham Wharton has never had eyes for anyone but Gemma, and she left his soul in tatters when she walked away from him. When the Imposters take on a new job to recover a kidnapped boy mistaken for his aristocratic cousin, Graham is determined to use the time with Gemma not only to restore the missing boy, but also to win back the only woman he's ever loved. As they trace the clues laid out before them, Graham must devise a noble scheme to save the boy's life and heal their hearts.

Christy Award-winning author Roseanna M. White whisks you away to Edwardian-era England in an exhilarating tale of glamor, intrigue, and romance set among high society's most elite--and most dangerous--families.

My thoughts:
A Noble Scheme is the second book in The Imposters' series and it was an amazing read! I reread A Beautiful Disguise (book one) before starting this one, so the characters were fresh in my mind...and I could hardly wait to find out more about Gemma and Graham's story!

A Noble Scheme grabbed my attention right away and I loved the characters so much. Getting little nuggets of Gemma and Graham's history in the beginning and THEN the big reveal was SO good. I did not guess it and loved the twist! The mystery was good, but also kind of sad...I really felt for everyone involved.

All in all, A Noble Scheme was a wonderful read and I recommend it...but definitely read book one first. I'm eagerly awaiting book three, as the sneak peek has me intrigued.

Review: Fatal Domain by Steven James

About the book:
When the past scratches its way into the present, it can leave deep scars.

A series of cryptic clues leads Department of Defense redactor Travis Brock to suspect that a grim chapter from his past is not yet over. With the help of his eidetic memory and his newly formed team, he must unearth the truth and stop a terrorist group from stealing one of the military’s most highly guarded technological breakthroughs. With it, the group commit a daring act of espionage that could upend the work of one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical firms and impact millions of people worldwide.

In a high-stakes story of action and intrigue that reaches from a refugee settlement in Uganda to the shores of the Potomac in Washington, DC, shattering secrets from the past will be revealed, loyalties tested, and intimate betrayals brought to light as Brock is forced to decide how to forgive what he cannot forget.

From a novelist that Publishers Weekly has called a “master storyteller” comes an intricate and taut thriller that will have you guessing until the final page.

My thoughts:
Fatal Domain is the second Travis Brock book and it was such a thrilling read!

I originally read book one, Broker of Lies, last year and reread it shortly before starting Fatal Domain...both times it was an amazing read and I definitely recommend reading the series in order.

Book one ended with a major twist, so I was eager to see how this story continued that element. It was very well written and kept me on the edge of my seat.

The characters were amazing. I loved the main ones (Travis and Adira), but Gunnar was also a favorite. I like how the romance is progressing and am curious to see what happens next. The story had a heavy theme of forgiveness and I loved that - it was a deep subject, but well done.

All in all, I loved Fatal Domain and the ending has me excited about the next book, whenever it releases. I can hardly wait!
