Reader Reviews

I just finished reading Secrets & Lies.  I could NOT put it down.  I loved every single character, the pacing of the story, all the plot twists and turns.  I think your dialogue was perfect and insights into what made the characters tick was brilliant, especially Alice.  I loved that character!    I think there is a place for a realistic and sensitive handling of problems Christians face.  You did a great job addressing conflicts and ambiguities of a very sensitive subject with grace and tact while also showing how God can work in any situation.  Bravo!   Lisa P.

Once again, B. J. Swanson captivates her readers through strong character development and by creating descriptive passages that allow the reader to visualize details as the story unfolds. Susie M

I’m not much of a reader, as reading puts me to sleep.  I picked up your book the other night to read a few pages and ended up reading until after midnight.  I didn’t want to put it down.  Howard D.

Her characters never disappoint. I have loved every one of her books. Donna L

After finishing Misguided, I had to read Contingent Loyalties, her second book, with many of the same characters as Misguided. Big mistake since I truly did not have time to read for hours that week! I literally could not put the book down. Contingent has all of the required ingredients to hold a readers attention. Warning: Do not start this book unless you have the time to finish it, because you will not be able to put it down!  Sunny O.
