COTT's December Release Champ




The Champion of the December New Releases Clash is:

A Promise to Protect, by Liz Johnson





Her novel takes the honors but it went up against some formidable competitors:

The Song of the Tree, Lotis Key

Mind of Her Own, Diana Brandmeyer

Counterfeit Cowboy, Lacy Williams

The Knitting Fairy, Jaime Marsman

Thanks to all for showing up and playing with COTT this week. The voting was amazingly close for a few days, and we had well over 200 voters. Congratulations to our readers and supporters!
  
A few of the comments from the survey say:

I absolutely love inspirational fiction. Thank you all for your books... I seem to always find one that speaks to my needs.

Keep on creating and inspiring.

ALL of the titles sound fabulous! It was a tough decision. Thank you for writing such awesome books!

Anything about our Seals is a definite buy!
Sometimes it seems unfair to have to choose. All the books look interesting. But I picked the one that I would pick up first.

What a wonderful list of books! Great job, everyone!

The books all look very interesting and well worth checking out. It was very difficult making a choice and all five authors should be encouraged for doing a great job.

Liz Johnson is one of my favorite authors. I love how she develops her characters in such a way that I not only want to know what happens in the story but I am emotionally invested in the characters.

About the Book:
Navy SEAL Matt Waterstone knows about keeping people safe. When his best friend’s sister is attacked, Matt promises no harm will come to Ashley Sawyer–not on his watch. But Matt’s not the only protective one. Ashley will do anything to safeguard the residents of the battered women’s shelter she runs. She’s sure she can handle the threats she gets in return. What she can’t handle is the way Matt scales the walls around her heart. Yet when she falls prey to a crime web more sinister than she’d realized, trusting Matt could be the only way to survive.

Buy the book on Amazon, or Barnes and Noble

Delicious December New Releases--Clash in the New Year with COTT!



Over the following week, Clash of the Titles is featuring five,
brand spanking new inspirational novels. Each of the below novels
has been on book store shelves for about a month; each is a
slightly different genre. Which one calls you? Take a moment to
browse, then, using the voting box below, let us know which
you're most likely to read first. Happy browsing! VOTE from Now
until next Wednesday - tell your friends - then come back and see
which book is this month's champion!


The Song of the Tree by Lotis Key


Despite promises of eternal joy given by the Tree of Life, a
privileged young woman loses everything in a brutal war. Her
husband disappears; her family is murdered; her home is burned to
the ground.


Mind of Her Own by Diana Lesire Brandmeyer


Who knew making dinner could change your life? Louisa Copeland
certainly didn't.


Counterfeit Cowboy by Lacy Williams 

 
From the moment Jesse Baker collides with Erin O'Grady on a
Boston train platform, he faces a dilemma. For once, Jesse
doesn't want to lie about who and what he is.


A Promise to Protect by Liz Johnson


When his best friend's sister is attacked, Navy SEAL Matt
Waterston promises no harm will come to Ashley Sawyer-not on his
watch. Threats are a regular part of Ashley's life as the
director of a battered women's shelter, but when she and Matt
uncover a crime ring more sinister than anyone imagined, trusting
Matt could be the only way to survive.


The Knitting Fairy by Jaime Marsman


Librarian Molly Stevenson rather expected her new job at
Crabapple Yarns to be deadly boring. but somehow she just didn't
expect the "deadly" part to be quite so literal. After all, what
could possibly be more sweet and innocent than a yarn store and a
bunch of ladies knitting?
