ICYMI ... here’s another cover reveal for The Secret Slipper!

This is my Cinderella retelling with a twist ... instead of a prince searching for her, it’s her father, who only just learned that she was kidnapped years ago.

It has quest-like vibes plus plenty of heart as Lia struggles with her disability.

Come back next week to see the new cover of Protecting the Poor!

Then, mark your calendar, because ALL Tales of Faith new covers are going live November 1, 2026 (just in time for Christmas gifts!).

The efinitely don't understand why she's upset an old friend has returned to town—a "friend" who knows Cassidy's darkest secret and could ruin everything.

Have you read The Huntress by Carrie Cotten?

I’ve heard amazing things about this series from SO many people! It’s medieval Christian fiction centered around the Vikings. I’ve heard it’s a can’t-miss series with strong faith elements and top-notch no-spice romance. I listened to the first chapter on audiobook through Hoopla, and I knew I had to have this book.

Thanks to @juls1325 for gifting it to me from my wish lift after I won her recent giveaway! I’m super excited for this one. If you haven’t read it, check out the blurb below. You can connect with the author @authorcarriecotten or on Facebook at Author Carrie Cotten.

Here’s the blurb for the book:

“The Huntress is Book One in this medieval Christian fiction series.

“Betrayed by their allies, the last of the Picts have escaped to the innermost part of an endless, dark forest, content to remain hidden there forever. Made queen at just a child, Cyrene has given all of her life and heart to the task of making sure her people are never terrorized again.

“When a handsome stranger from the kingdom that betrayed them falls injured at the boundary of her village, she’s forced to choose between mercy and duty.

“The second son of a ruling monarch, Duncan would never be considered for the throne, neither did he wish to be. But when a plague sweeps through the land, he is the only one of royal blood left standing. Returning to the tower that holds too many dark memories, the truth of his father’s tangled reign begins to unravel and Duncan is once again forced into a role he never wanted.”

When I decided to do a birthday giveaway, I didn’t know it would mean making a new friend! @juls1325 won the random drawing, and it turns out she’s from my hometown where I grew up! And since I had a planned trip already in place to visit family, we decided to meet in person for a personal delivery instead. 💕

If you ask Savannah Scott, the biggest blessing is the way this community rallies around a story.

The bookstagrammers who call themselves Shippers are like no other. Some ch a sweet community of friendship and shared book love.

If you ask us, we love quotes. We love a book where the quotes jump off the page and into our hearts. One that leaves you smiling, even if you shed a few tears (some of them from laughing too hard) along the way.

Tangled with the Tight End gives us those quotes and those emotions. All.the.feels.

Which quote is your favorite?

Football romance | sports romance | sweet romcom | closed door romcom | book quotes | bookstagram | bookish community | small town romance | opposites attract | forced proximity | romance readers | shippers |
