A spirit-filled thriller romance from Rosalind Morris

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on January 20, 2018 by David BergslandJanuary 20, 2018

I just finished a spirit-filled thriller romance from Rosalind Morris called The Wages or The Gift and really enjoyed it. That says a lot because I quit reading thrillers a couple years back because of boredom and I’ve not enjoyed romances … Continue reading →

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 26, 2017 by David BergslandNovember 13, 2022

Saving the Halyodoora shows outrageous Godly science fiction. With the King on the throne and the resurrected saints helping, the people of God are seeding the universe. The book takes place after the King returns and is on the throne—but thousands of years … Continue reading →

Divine Space Pirates trilogy romances the genre mercilessly

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 29, 2017 by David BergslandJuly 29, 2017

The Divine Space Pirates trilogy romances the genre without mercy. The science fiction is largely lost in the dominance of the relationships. Nonetheless, it’s a good dystopian scifi tale also. The characters are complex, believable, and compelling. The world-building is very … Continue reading →

The Divine Space Pirates dystopian science fiction fantasy is well done

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on May 3, 2017 by David BergslandMay 3, 2017

I just read an excellent romance in The Divine Space Pirates dystopian science fiction fantasy by C.S. Johnson. It is dystopian, reads like an epic fantasy, while it’s clearly science fiction—with a nicely done romance. It’s not nearly as strong as … Continue reading →

Tabitha, spirit-filled romance by Vikki Kestell shows Truth well

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on March 30, 2017 by David BergslandMarch 30, 2017

I just finished Tabitha, spirit-filled romance by Vikki Kestell. Of course, I don’t like romances or historical tales, but I actually enjoyed this book. It’s the first of a series of stories about women talked about in her 8-book A Prairie Heritage … Continue reading →

Edgy Christian romance surprised me with a good story

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on February 3, 2017 by David BergslandFebruary 3, 2017

It isn’t often that my jaded, old, viewpoint is poked. But an Edgy Christian romance surprised me last night. Cries from a Crusty Heart looks like it would be horrible. It starts with a hunky angel guide offering to kill all the people … Continue reading →

Fire Prophets: The Way, Book 1 by Guy Stanton III

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on September 17, 2016 by David BergslandSeptember 17, 2016

This first book of the Fire Prophets series is epic high fantasy, though I would tend to call it lyric and even poetic at times. As you might know, I normally don’t like this stuff, but after a slightly slow … Continue reading →

Spirit-filled action-adventure romance: The Agents for Good series

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 24, 2016 by David BergslandAugust 24, 2016

I needed the refreshing which comes with a superb Spirit-filled action-adventure romance. For the 3rd time, Guy’s 6-book series does that wonderfully well. Even the third time through, the stories gripped me. The romances are intense, lusty, and compelling. The … Continue reading →

A Lady in Defiance by Heather Blanton

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on August 17, 2016 by Iola GoultonAugust 14, 2016

A Lady in Defiance is not your typical Christian fiction. It sounds as though it might be—three ladies settle in a lawless Colorado mining town. But this isn’t the genteel mining towns most Christian authors write about, where basically everyone … Continue reading →

Redemptive: The Gifts series by Jen Gentry

David Bergsland’s Reality Calling Posted on July 20, 2016 by David BergslandJuly 20, 2016

This reviews the first three books in the Gifts series by Jen. It’s a surprising bit of writing, and I really enjoyed it. It’s certainly Redemptive: The Gifts brings new fun to Christian Urban Fantasy. [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”] The stories follow the life … Continue reading →
