Another month, another winner, another book review, and another book giveaway!

Since it is June 1st it is time to pick a number for the commenter who wins Dan Walsh's The Discovery. And the winner is...Amanda Stephan.

This next month's giveaway is for a copy of The Ride of Her Life by Lorna Seilstad, the third book in the Lake Manawa Summers series published by Revell. If you care to read the reviews for the first two books in the series, go to my posts on June 1, 2011, and January 26, 2011.

Rose's Review of The Ride of Her Life by Lorna Seilstad

I love to read books in series, so to read about what was going on in the lives of the characters I came to love in Making Waves and A Great Catch was a treat! Lilly Hart who played a major role in the romance between the hero and heroine in the first book, Making Waves, gets to have a romance of her own played out in this one.

In the last few years, Lilly has been widowed and left with a rambunctious six-year old son and some in-laws who are very domineering. She strikes out on her own by getting a job at a local eatery where a handsome stranger, Nick Perrin, who brings his crew of workers there often to eat her great meals, intervenes on her behalf.

Nick is in Lake Manawa to build a roller coaster. Lilly wants to have nothing to do with the ride, but her son is mesmerized by it. They both get in several scrapes, often rescued by Nick.

Lilly finally admits she loves Nick, but can she stand to give up her dreams of a stable home for her and her son to allow herself to be loved again?

You'll have to read it to find out, but I suggest you buy the whole set and read the series in order. And one person will have a chance to win a copy of The Ride of Her Life by leaving an email contact with your comment during the month of June. Winner to be announced on July 1st from all those with a US mailing addy.

This book was given by the publisher and author for review purposes, but the review is my own opinion.
