Broken Together was a marvelous story and a difficult story all wrapped into one. It is hard-hitting and doesn’t sugar-coat the difficulties that imprisonment causes – especially for believers – even when the prisoner is innocent. And, yet, despite the difficulties, hope shines through as Chad and Jenn cling tightly […]
I have found that Romance-only stories tend to be trite and can feel like they don’t really go anywhere. Or they have too much drama that feels overdone. So clearly, a balance is needed to give the story a little bit more than boy meets girl. Susanne Dietze has achieved […]
One test of a good book for me is how well I can stay connected with it even when I’m reading in a busy place. Especially while I’m waiting for the results of something I’m concerned about. If I can stay invested in the story under those circumstances – it […]
Allie craved a marriage full of love and respect – everything her parent’s marriage had lacked. And this drove a small obsession for having the perfect wedding in the perfect setting. She just forgot that she also needed to select the right groom… I have to confess that seeing the […]
Having read a few stories by Eleanor Bertin over the past couple of years, I’ve seen that she is not afraid to tackle difficult subjects! Not only does she face them head-on, but she does so with aplomb and a strong Christian perspective. Flame of Mercy speaks of the tragedy […]
Looking back, I was amazed when I realized Deborah Grace White only published her first book last year! The quality of her writing far surpasses that of many authors who have been writing much longer. Wren and Basil’s story captivated me from the very beginning. I vividly pictured the moment […]
Every Word Unsaid brims with fantastic depictions of India in the late 1890s. The sights, sounds, and smells of the country were vividly described along with the tastes of the amazing foods. I enjoyed Gussie’s travels and could relate well to her desire to photograph everything she saw. I can […]
I have read stories written by both authors in the past but never one with their combined talents. And never romance stories. So I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from Picture Imperfect. I was impressed with how well they created such a cohesive storyline, making it feel it was […]
Author Katherine Reay blends past and present with letters and action to bring us this fascinating tale of one woman’s search for truth. I loved the parallels made between the cancer Caroline’s father refused to fight and the secrets and shame that ate away at the soul of their family. […]
I have thoroughly enjoyed the Rise of the Anointed series and eagerly awaited its conclusion. Which is more of a new beginning of sorts – the ending left things open for an entirely new set of adventures. Sweet! The characters I’ve grown to love throughout the series are back and […]
I don’t know how Dana Mentink does it! She has such a gift for writing, combining riveting danger and romance with characters who come to life in her stories. Yukon Justice is no exception! I loved the setting of the reindeer farm and learning a bit about these magnificent creatures! […]
Though Nikki didn’t realize it at first, she and Ms. O’Connor had so much in common! Both were hurt deeply in the past in ways that affected them into their present. It was interesting to read about the life of a professional organizer. While a part of me scoffed at […]
