Have you ever been afraid of hurting someone by telling them the truth? And then discovered that because you didn’t speak up sooner, your silence had them believing a lie? Poor Ada! Her kind heart wasn’t made to keep secrets like she did. I really liked Ada’s kind and gentle […]
Vickie McDonough’s Romance in the Badlands series was re-released earlier this year as individual books. And, now it’s available as the full collection in “one” print book, which is always a great deal. These stories follow the McFarland siblings, and each one builds a little on the previous ones. While […]
One thing I enjoy about reading a series like Brothers in Arms is learning about characters through more than just one book. I was looking forward to reading Molly and Wyatt’s story… I was quite surprised to see how plucky Molly was! In the previous stories, she seemed content to […]
Geneviève was a sweet, innocent young woman who has always done what her grand-mère expected – until she got the courage to run away to stop her brother from making a huge mistake! The courage she showed by traveling across the country alone was admirable. I enjoyed watching her blossom […]
Aww! Kate and Jess were so much fun! I loved their interactions – the way he wouldn’t put up with her nonsense and especially the way he wouldn’t lie for her. Not that she was trying to be cruel or sneaky or evil, she just didn’t want her brothers to […]
Mary Connealy has a gift for drawing readers into her stories quickly with surprising circumstances and a compelling writing style. Some of the situations in her stories are far-fetched, and yet she makes them work… Falcon is fascinating! I could almost hear his drawl as he narrated his portions of […]
Both happy and sad, The Sister’s Plight follows two women to Oregon. The first, Emberly, willingly traveled while attempting to solve the mystery of the portrait she found. And the second, Almira, unwillingly, traveled with her family on the Oregon Trail to their new home. This time-split novel was done […]
Oh, wow! Karen Witemeyer has done it again! The Heart’s Charge is an amazing story, filled with compelling danger, bravery in the face of fear, life-changing spiritual lessons, and characters who melted my heart. Though there are many characters with significant roles, it was not difficult to keep track of […]
Nobody thought Jake was good enough for Liberty – not even Jake himself. I felt very sorry for him as he ached, regretting his carefree and somewhat wild childhood as the consequences followed him into adulthood. Even his Ma had come to expect trouble from him. But he wasn’t a […]
I was excited to see the start of a new series by Mary Connealy! Her stories are very enjoyable – full of adventure and excitement. Braced for Love was no exception. As I’ve come to expect, this story started with a bang and the situation escalated from there! As did […]
“Fancy Feathers”? Adam’s nickname for Mariah was so cute – it came from the annoying way the feathers on her hat found their way to tickle him on his head as he sat behind her on the train. It was fun that he continued to think of her that way, […]
It was so fun to read a story that takes place during a time period I don’t see often in books, especially Westerns. 1911. Colorado. When automobiles were starting to make an appearance (noisily!) When motion pictures were just beginning to gain popularity. And of course, when our story takes […]
