This is an interesting book. It describes the various forces at work that produce our weather in the Western US. It talks about the atmosphere, winds, jet streams, cyclones, storm tracks, micro-bursts, tornadoes, lightning, rain, snow, cloud formation, etc. He discusses some things that I still have a hard time understanding. Maybe someday I will understand. I found the discussion of 'latent heat' and its role in storm development interesting.

Hazardous Duty (4.5)
Author: Betsy Brannon Green; Publisher: Covenant
Savannah McLaughlin is running a little late. Those extra few minutes could mean she may never see her daughter again. The only clue Savannah and the police have to six-year-old Caroline's disappearance is a note with a cryptic verse of scripture. With no signs of progress, Savannah is desperate enough to call the one man she knows can help - the one man who absolutely despises her.
If anyone can find Caroline, it's Major Christoper Dane. The Army often calls on him to discreetly extract people from dangerous situations. But can Savannah trust him and the band of misfits Dane surrounds himself with? Or will the betrayal that took place in their dark past exclude any chance of a bright future?
This was another excellent novel. I had a hard time putting it down to go to bed.

Fancy Pants (4.5)
Author: Cathy Marie Hake; Publisher: Bethany House
When "Big Tim" Creighton spies the mincing fop headed toward Forsaken Ranch, he is appalled. Thankful his boss isn't around to witness the arrival of his kin, Tim decides he'll turn "Fancy Pants" Hathwell into a man worthy of respect.
Lady Sydney Hathwell never intended to don men's attire, but when her uncle mistakenly assumed she was a male, the answer to her problems seemed clear. Her disguise as "Syd" was meant to be temporary ... but the arranged marriage she's fleeing, her uncle's attitude toward the fairer sex - and her own pride - compel her to continue the guise far longer than she had planned.
When her deception is exposed, will she be forced to abandon her hopes for family ... and true love?
This was an excellent book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel.
