I enjoyed this book. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. Her books pull me in from the first word and are well written. I enjoy how the author’s use of details gives her stories a realistic feel. Her characters are relatable and keep you turning pages. This book is no different. This is a story about Leslie and her search for faith and humanity. She takes you on a journey of science fiction and so much more. What she finds is a young boy who seems to have a child in him. Now she finds herself in a duty to save the said child and humanity. This is a faster paced story that really has a lot going on but the author does a great job of writing where it is easily read. This is a great story that I would highly recommend. It is worth the pick and the journey Leslie takes you on.

Jeremy Full of Grace by Greta Cribbs is a very inspirational sci-fi
One youngster gives a ray of light in a fading world. Midwife Leslie wanders the countryside eight years after a pandemic destroyed most of the world’s population, leaving the survivors barren, looking for signs that humankind may yet have a future. She had no idea that indication would come in the form of Jeremy, a seventeen-year-old Catholic lad who claims to have been pregnant after a vision from the Virgin Mary.
Leslie, an atheist, is suspicious of Jeremy’s narrative, but she can’t reject what the physical facts and her trained eye tell her: Jeremy is clearly carrying a kid within his body. There are doubts about Jeremy’s account of events, but even as Leslie wrestles with her own conflicted sentiments about religion, she knows she has a job to fulfill: ensuring the safe delivery of this kid who may well be the endangered human race’s final chance.
I loved this story and the concept of it as well.I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting.

When an unexplained plague wipes out most of the world’s population, the remaining people are shocked, scared, and for the most part unable to have children. Leslie, an agnostic midwife, travels the country, desperately seeking someone, anyone, who is pregnant. What she doesn’t expect, however, is to meet Jeremy–17 year old boy who appears to be, of all things, pregnant! Jeremy claims he became pregnant after a visit from the Virgin Mary.
Jeremy Full of Grace was an interesting read. Told from several points of view, it gives a sense of a simpler time, without television, radio, cars, and even hospitals. The story drew me in, and I enjoyed it. Similar to the birth of Christ, Jeremy’s pregnancy helped the characters and the reader discover–or rediscover–what Faith is. Strong, independent characters and a focus on God made this a wonderful read. Highly recommend!

I was instantly intrigued by the description, and chose to give Jeremy Full of Grace a shot. I mean, a teenage boy, being pregnant, what in the world?! I had to see how that works… It is the first book I have read by Greta Cribbs, and I couldn’t put it down! Granted, its a short book, but still. It is a weird twist of religion and sci-fi/dystopian, which is such an odd combination, but it worked. The main theme surrounds Catholicism, but it isn’t preachy, and most of the references are common knowledge. I love that she writes about “Them” and “Before” in a context that we understand something is going on, but don’t know all the details. The characters were great. The book is written bouncing around, point of view and timeframe, which was a little weird, but once you have a feeling for the timeline, it is easy enough to follow. I was a little disappointed not all my questions were answered, but it was still a good story. I don’t want to give away and spoilers, so I will leave it at that.

I gotta say, I’m surprised. I picked up this title on a recommendation by another person, and was a bit skeptical. I don’t usually read books centred around religion, but this was honestly… great. Extremely well-written and compelling, the characters are interesting and real, and the book moved at a great pace. I was moved to get to the end to have my questions answered – how did this boy get here? how can he even give birth? What does this all mean?
The mixing in of different sections told by other characters of the past was an interesting detail and made the story much more complex and meaningful. I appreciated that the book didn’t preach to me or tell me what to believe, it just let the story speak for itself, and left the characters to answer their questions for themselves, and come to their own conclusions. There are many great things I could say about this book and the writing, but I would recommend you buy it, you won’t be sorry!

Jeremy Full of Grace by Greta Cribbs is a unique and brilliantly interesting story. From the moment I read the blurb to this book I knew I just had to read it. I had to find out all about this world and if they would find a way to survive. I thought the author did an amazing job at mixing so many different elements. They are ones that I wouldn’t have necessarily said would go together and yet she has made it work effortlessly. This book really does have a bit of everything in and really just grabs your attention. I didn’t know why to expect at all when I started reading this book but what I got was a fantastic and well written story that I couldn’t stop thinking about even after the book had ended.

Jeremy Full of Grace by Greta Cribbs. This was such a unique read. Its the story of Jeremy a 17 year old boy who seems to be one of the few people left on Earth. When a Midwife is going around trying to find if there are any people left she comes across Jeremy. Jeremy believes he has been chosen to give birth not unlike the Virgin Mary. The Midwife is agnostic so she doesn’t really buy into the whole Virgin Mary bit but she can’t deny that he is Pregnant. A 17 year old boy is pregnant. As confusing as it seems her only job is to make sure this baby is brought into the world safe and sound because it could be humanities last hope! As you delve deeper and deeper into the book my questions were mounting and they were finally pleasantly answered. If you are into Science Fiction don’t miss this intriguing read!

Cribbs offers a unique twist on the story of the virginal birth. Honestly, I am not religious at all, but I was still very intrigued by the storyline. I definitely was not disappointed! I thoroughly enjoyed the story, even if some of the religious nuance was lost on me. I particularly recommend this book if you like the dystopian genre. It was nice to have a dystopian read done a bit differently than anything else I have read.

Jeremy Full of Grace is the latest release from the talented Greta Cribbs. I have read most of Ms. Cribbs books now, so when this popped up on my recommended book feed I didn’t hesitate to snap up a copy and dive in. This book is a little difficult to label, being quite an intriguing mix of elements. There is definitely a sci-fi aspect to the story, as well as a bit of a dystopian feel- with mystery, miracles, drama, thought provoking developments, religion, hope, and faith. The world population has been devastated by a plague which has also left the survivors sterile. The very fate of humanity is at stake. We meet Jeremy, a 17 year old boy….. who just happens to be PREGNANT! You read that right- a pregnant BOY. I must admit I wasn’t sure how this thread of the story would play out, or how believable it would be- but Ms. Cribbs made it entirely plausible- delivering a engrossing story that gave me plenty to think about. A well-woven, original, and intriguing story- with a good dose of miracles, faith, belief… and new beginnings- it all made for a great read.

Eight years after a plague killed most of the world’s population, leaving the survivors barren, midwife Leslie travels the countryside in search of some sign that humanity may still have a future. She never expected that sign to take the form of Jeremy, a seventeen-year-old Catholic boy who claims to have been impregnated following what he believes was a visitation from the Virgin Mary.
Leslie, an agnostic, is skeptical of his story, but cannot deny what the physical evidence and her trained eye are telling her: that Jeremy is indeed carrying a child inside his body. Questions abound over whether Jeremy’s version of events is true, but even as Leslie grapples with her own conflicting feelings about faith, she knows that first and foremost she has a duty to perform: ensuring the safe birth of this child who may well be final hope of the doomed human race

Honestly I love everything this author writes! But with this one, well its different in a way that shes never written a story. It had the mystery to it and I had a hunch and dismissed it quickly and I shouldnt have, that takes a good author to steer you so close then away to keep you on your toes. I love this town and the characters. I mean with a name like Sunshine, you won’t forget her, and I can tell we will get some great books from this already!

Montgomery – Review by Lyndsey Fairley
Betrayal at the Beach: A Cozy Christian Mystery (Dangerous Curves Book 1) by K.L. Montgomery was a book full of mystery and suspense. It is a great cozy read.
When tragedy hits the Bryce Beach Public Library, librarian Sunshine Baker must choose between solving the mystery and losing her job. Sunshine feels unusually equipped despite having no prior detective experience, thanks to her ninja YA librarian talents and all those Nancy Drew books she read as a youngster. Sunshine and her colleagues explore Bryce Beach for suspects, clues, and the stolen riches with the assistance of children’s librarian Molly Simmons and cataloguer Evangeline Dupree. Can Sarah and her team reclaim the funds raised at the library’s annual fundraising gala, as well as Bryce Beach’s most valuable historical item, the Bible with the signatures of the town’s founding fathers?
I loved every page of it. I can’t wait to read the rest of the other books in this series.

Oh, My Goodness! I could not put down the book. I could relate to the main character and some of her problems and living in a small town. The story was easy to follow and I could not guess the ending of the mystery. For me the book as a good homework break to be able to relax and then get back to it. I cannot wait for the next one to see what happens and where the author, K.I. Montgomery, takes the series.

Montgomery – Review by Darcy Valentine
What an utterly fun read for a lazy afternoon! This little mystery has great characters, a well-timed plot, and an engaging mystery for readers to solve along with Sunny Baker. As noted, it does have a “grown-up Nancy Drew” feel to it, and made for a captivating story. The heroine, a 42-year-old librarian in a small beach town was relatable and fun, an ardent supporter of reading and comfortable in her own skin. I liked that she had a bit of sass and jumped into rescuing her library despite some fears she had. While this is called a Christian mystery, you certainly don’t need to be Christian in order to enjoy it. Sunny is a woman with faith, but the book doesn’t centre around this – it’s just an aspect of her personality. If you are looking for a fun cozy book to curl up with today, this might be the one!

If you love Nancy Drew then you are going to love Ms. Montgomery’s Betrayal at The Beach. I was originally drawn to this book by the front cover, it’s colors and beach theme really drew me in, but once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down. It has everything that a good cozy mystery book should have including a great sleuth, and her friends, a mystery that will have you guessing until the end, and a wonderful meaning. As with many of Ms. Montgomery’s stories the meaning behind this one is all about body positivity and I love it. If you are looking for a warm and cozy mystery book to curl up with on a rainy day then I highly recommend Betrayal at The Beach.

Montgomery – Review by Stephanie Nicole
Sunshine Baker work in the Bryce Beach Public Library as a YA and she has been working with the Friends of the Library Committee to organise and throw their yearly Gala to raise funds for the library, as well as her role at the library itself and has been enjoying every minute of it and as the night of the gala arrives, she is hoping that everything will go well and that the invitees will enjoy the evening. From the start it looks like everyone is having fun and the catering, magician act and music are keeping everyone entertained, when the food is served and she finds out that she has to make the first speech and introductions, she is terrified, but manages to get through it and the rest of the evening inscathed, that is until after they have counted the donations and are presenting the total to the audience when there is a crashing of glass and a scream where the crowd is shocked into panic. The Founding Fathers Bible, a priceless artifact has been stolen and when Sunshine goes to check on the donations in the locked room, she is devastated to find out that they have been stolen too.
The police are called and statements are made, but when she arrives at work on the Monday morning, the Chief of Police is there to see her and ask her some questions, however, she is surprised to find out that they suspect one of the employees and that they need the information of all who had access to the room that the donations were being kept in, whether they were at the Gala or not. This has Sunshine worrying and this is increased even more when she goes to see the head of the Library and is asked for her opinion and then to look into it in her own time as well. This spurs her onto asking questions of her friends Evangeline and Molly, drawing up a list of attendees and talking through the events of the night again, but all this does is throw suspicion around with no strong leads bar one, so the next day Molly and Sunshine make plans to talk to them, but in a non-threatening way to try and glean some more information from them about that night. As these conversations take place, more tidbits and accusations are thrown around which are making Sunshine feel even more uncomfortable as they are mostly pointing towards one of her friends and another colleague as the police appear to be less than interested.
As the stakes are raised and jobs are on the line, will Sunshine and her amateur sleuthing skills solve the mystery before jobs and a priceless artefact are lost forever? This is a cozy mystery which will keep you guessing through to the end as the hunt for answers throws light upon a small community with secrets and stories to tell.

This is the first book in the Dangerous Curves series and it was a really enjoyable read. The author does a good job of building the scene and character. The descriptions of both make this story come alive. It is a cosy mystery which keeps you guessing.
Sunshine Baker works in the library. When their is a robbery that takes most of the donations for the library and a precious heirloom that is significant for the town, Sunshine along with her friends decide that together they are going to solve the mystery of this disappearance and find out who was being the theft before its too late.

Montgomery – Review by Kerry Carr
Betrayal at the Beach is the first book in the Dangerous Curves series by K.L Montgomery. This is something a little different to what Ms. Montgomery has done in the past- as this is a cozy Christian mystery, so I wasn’t sure of what to expect, but knew anything she wrote was going to be good- and of course, it was. I loved the setting, Bryce Beach, a small town beach community- as well as all the quirky and interesting inhabitants of the town. It was the perfect setting and cast for a cozy mystery, so I was hooked right from the start. Sunshine Baker is one of the local librarians who has worked incredibly hard on the annual fundraising gala hoping to raise enough funds to keep the library running. As the night arrives, Sunshine hopes everything will run smoothly as there is a lot riding on the night’s success. Just when Sunshine begins to think the night couldn’t have been better, a robbery brings the festivities to a screeching halt. Not only has the thief taken the large amount of donations, but also a priceless antique that is steeped in historical significance for all the township. It is now up to Sunny, and her friends, to get to the bottom of it all, to find the thief and return the funds and heirloom, before it’s too late. This was such a fun little adventure and a fantastic start to a wonderful new series. I can’t wait for book #2.

Montgomery – Review by Heidi Schoolman
This story is heart achingly beautiful. Connor hasn’t been back to his childhood hometown for over twenty years aside from birthdays and Christmas. However, when his mother dies he has to return to arrange her funeral and take care of her belongings. He finds himself overcome with regret and longing for his past mistakes, grief and love for the mother he loved with everything he had and with hope for his future. The words in this were so beautiful and really got to the heart of the lessons that we can learn from the passing of a loved one and what it truly means to be happy with a well lived and loved life. An absolutely stunning novel.

Jane Suen did not miss a beat when it came to this story. Its a story of loss, life, and finding your way. It really made you relate to Connor on missed opportunities because life is too short. He held a grudge that he didnt know he had until it was confronted. Connor comes home after his mothers death to arrange a funeral and get everything squared away all the while he meets MaryAnn while picking out the flowers for the funeral. Its not until a few months later when time slips that he realizes hes alone in the world and noone to turn to.
I cant wait to get my hands on the next in the series.

Betrayal at the Beach is an endearing tale of mystery and suspense. The main character has a wonderful, self-deprecating sense of humor that adds a lightness to the criminal tale. I love the interwoven support system that Sunshine has in her not-so-perfect life. She is very relatable and empathetic. It’s a feel good story that will have you guessing until the very end!

Montgomery- Review by LeeAnn Leonard
Flowers in December by Jane Suen is a short listen audiobook. We follow Connor Norton as he visits his hometown to deal with his mothers passing. Full of regret, Connor reflects on the last 20 years in which he has barely visited. Realizing he isn’t getting any younger, can Connor overcome his shortcomings and move on to make more of what he has left?
This was a great quick listen. I would have liked to have seen more development in the story line, and perhaps more of a look into Connor’s life later on.

Flowers in December (Audio Book) by Jane Suen 4 Stars!!!!
If you are looking to add to your reading experience I really recommend audio books. I have read this book and this is my second read/listen. I find that it really adds to the whole experience and enjoyment of the book. Having read then listened to it for the first time I really like how the narrator adds the emotions and voices. I found more things grabbed my attention when listening than when just reading it.
I really found that this second read well first listen really added to my enjoyment of the book and added to the whole process. The author really made a good choice of narrator. Definitely will read more from this author and hope to have more audio books from her.

Betrayal at the Beach by K.L. Montgomery a thrill of a five-star read. This has it all, a great story, librarians, and a mystery thrown in for good measure. I adore this author and all of the hats they wear; I enjoy how each story has its own details, there isn’t a scene that doesn’t fit, just because it may be what they are known for, it adds more power to each story. I started this one after being on a massive reading binge and was expecting that my great reading would start to slow, but this just added more excitement to my reading, it kept me guessing and just added to my love of reading overall. I am always excited to see a librarian as a character in a story and this gave me joy in spades.

Flowers In December Audio Book by Jane Suen is a quick and gentle story about life after losing a loved one. It had been quite a while since I had read this book so I jumped at the chance to listen to the audio book. The story was as lovely as I remembered it being and I was instantly taken back into the life of Connor, who is learning how to live after his mother had passed away. At 2 1/2 hours listening time this was the perfect book to put on during a relaxing afternoon.
I thought the narrator was perfect for the descriptive part of the story. At those times I found that I could get lost completely in what he were saying. I think it fell down just a little at the dialogue. It came across as a little monotonous at times and almost a little “he said, she said”. However it didn’t really detract from the audio book as a whole and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

I read Flowers in December back in 2018. Now listening to it and rereading my previous review, I can see how much I have grown. Back in 2018 I hadn’t gone through the heartache of losing someone. So today 3 years later I look at this story with new eyes and understanding. It really touched me on a whole new level. Add to that the smooth calming tone of the narrator, this time around I really have a greater appreciation for the book. Thank you for this.
